John Millman, of Remington, ‘or vicinity, was brought over to Rensselaer last Saturday, and confined in the jail; on the grounds that he was dangerously insane, with homicidal and suicidal tendencies. The cause of his tiouble is s&id to be opium and whiskey. He had so far recovered possession of his faculties on Monday that he was released from confinement. We understand from good authority, that the preliminary survey of the railroad line, of the newly organized Chicago & Indiana Railway aM Coal Company, was begun this week, at Lacross, near the northeast corner of , Jasper county. We are informed tnat the first line will run direct through Hunville, (cr Tefft) in Kankakee township, to Rensselaer. Ex-County Surveyor L. Alter is the engineer in charge of the survey. -- - » ——From Mr. Fred-Hassalbring, of Walker tp. who was in town last Monday we first learned that his venerable grandfather, Frederick Mussman, the Napoleonic veteran, was dead. His death occurred in November last, and was very sud<len and without previous illness. He lacked but a few months of being ninety-six years old at the time of his death. Mr. Mussman's remarkable career has been already mentioned in The Republican. He was one of the last surviving veterans of the “Grand Arthy” of the great Nepoleon. and shared in many of the vicissitudes of that great conqueror’s latest wars. The third annual commencement of the Rensselaer High School,* takes place this evening, at the Opera House.

Spitler, “Sunshine;” Eugene Spitler, “History of Rensselaer,” Maty S. Washburn, “Price of Truth.” The additional exercises of the evening will consist of the presentation of the diploi’nas, by Dr. I.

. The ..Rev. Geo. S. Hutchings, Colporteur of the American Bible Soeiety, is now in Rensselaer, and desires us to say to the readers of this paper that he comes in the interest of the people, to canvass the town and country, for the purpose of furnishing the Word of God. to them, at actual cost. Testaments from five cents, and bibles from twenty five cents upwards, according to size and quality. Those who are unable to buy , even at these meager prices, will lie furnished with bibles free of cost. As the agents engaged in this good work mpst be, cared for, it will become his duty to solicit public and -private contributions, from those more bountifully provided with the good things of this life* to aid in this good work. His Lead-quar-ters are at the Makeever House, Rensselaer, Ind.

A Superintendent Elected.

The county Board of Education met last monday morning, all the Township Trustees being present'. The election of a County Superintendent was the principal business of the meeting. As was uhivers°ally expected, Mr. Nelson, the present Superintendent,; was reoleeted. That he should have -received, as he did, the unanimous vote of all the trustees, regardless of' political or/tother considerations, is a high compliment to the able and conscientious manner in which he lias discharged the. important arid difficult duties of his office.

DECORATION DAY.

’ x r ■ Jasper County Pays Fitting' Tribute to her Patriot Dead. j There is no coffimunity within our knowledge, where the beautiful and commendible’ practice of observing Decoration Day, is more faithfully and generally followed than in Rensselaer and its vicinity. The tact is a greAt hon - or to our people; and it is much to be hoped that our zeal and interest in the day will suffer no abatement with the increasing years. The Decoration Day exercises of last Saturday were, in every way, satisfactory and appropriate. The afternoon exercises, including the march to the cemetery, and at the graves, were attended by a larger concourse of people than ever assembled hero at a similaroccasion. The .vast numbers who came in from the surrounding country, were especially noticeable. The entire conduct of the day was under the direction of the G. A. R. Post, and the services at the graves were the regular appointed services of the Order. The formation of the procession, the march, and the services, were most admirably conducted. In the evening, at the Opera House, the entertainment given jointly by the Ladies Literary Society, and the G. A. R. Post, was attended by a very large audience. The programme previously published was successfully carried out. AT The day was well observed in the eastern part of the county, under the direction of C. L Guild Post, No. 121, of Medaryville, the membership of which is largely composed of citizens of this county. The Post held services, in the forenoon, at the Medaryville Cemetery; and; in the afternoon, at the Independence Cemetery, iii Gillam tp. The exercises at both places were very appropriate, and attended by very large gatherings of people. ■Rose Lawn Post, also largely composed of citizens of Jasper county, paid full tribute to the day. On Friday they sent a detail , tp Walker Cemetery to" decorate the grave of John Tanner, the only soldier buried in Walker township. The people of the neighborhood turned out in large numbers, and the ceremonies were successfully conducted. On Saturday the Post repaired to Lake Village, a few miles west of Rose Lawn, where four old soldiers are buried. There albo the people turned out largely and the appointed memorial services of the order were successfully carried out.

What good housewife does not take honest pride in the lie at appearance of her rooms, and delight in anything that saves space, comfort, and looks? how often does sfie justly complain that she bus “no room to turn around in” when her appartments are filled with the thousand and one articles necessary to housekeeping? To all such—and they constitute the vast majority of our American women—Stemberger’s Folding Dress Pillow will be a boon. Whereever intrpdused they have superseded the old, bulky, clumsy pillows, that cumber the chairs, when not in use, and. even when on the bed are perfect mountains. They fold into one twentieth of their size when not in use and can be placed in any small drawer or shelf, or under the bolster. They are selling like wildfire. See the advertisement in another column.

Communication.

Wetumka, Ala., Sep. 28, 1884. —About six years ago I became afflicted with a very disagreeable skin disease, with large, dry sores and many crusted, pimples on my face, hands and shoulders The The sore on my shoulder eat out a hole nearly an inch deep, and the cancerous appearance of one of the sores near my ’ eye alarmed me very much. I tried all kindsi of treatment, but found nothing that seeriied to affect the disease. I finally decided to try Su S. S. on advice of a physician, and in a short time the scabs dropped from the sores and leftnnyskin smooth and well. I consider S. S. S. the greatest blood medicine made and the only thing that will cure the disease, with which I was afflicted. I think my trouble was the result of a terrible attack of malarial fever, contracted while farming in the Tallapoosa river swamp. I can- be found at my s offlce in the court house a t Watumpka. You can refer to me. J. L, Dhqdes, Dep. Sheriff Elmore Co., Ala. Treaties on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. . The Swift Specific' Co.; . Drawer & Atlanta Ga.

His attorney then filed written plea of insanity, followed by application for change of venue from both the county and judge. The change of venue must be granted, as a matter of. course, but there was some contest over the question of where the case should be sent.

Prof. Cook Heard From. Prof. Cook lately wrote: “Having studied man and his relations fifty years, and having read Dr. E. B. Foote’s Plain Home Talk, I say disinterestedly and emphatically that it is worth its weight in gold; nay, gold cannot measure its value to humanity. It is such a book as only such a healthy, well-bal-anced, magnificent brain can produce. Dr. Foote is one of the few doctors who, in his writings and practice, seeks to cure, not kill; to save and prolong life, not obstruct, poison or destroy it: to teach people the structure, functions, facts, forces and relations of the human brain and body, teach them the significance of life and how to Make it healthy and happy also how to make the most of it?. Its information, instruction and advices in regard to parentage, marriage, social and sexual functions and relations; its facts and laws of mental, magnetic and temperan4ent;al adaptation in marriage and parentage that children may be healthy, happy and viable, etc., etc., make it more valuable to suffering humanity than my poor words can express. What a. vast amount of saving information for the people; a large book of 900 pages for only $1.50.” I’KOF. J. H. CeOK.
