RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1885.

Locals and Personals.

Wo can see the grass grow. Geo. Casey, of Union tp., a boj> Mujiday. - -••• AA~r. All natura rejoices in the return of Spring. The farmers are nearly cltyne sowing oats. The Town, election' one week from next Monday. E. G. Warren has finished his school in Keener township. Republican primary mass conventions, next Thursday afternoon. Wm. Irvin has also gone to Kansas. We understand that lie is in Kiowa eonnty. It is a pleasure to show-goodsi i at Mrs. J. 31. Hopkins’ mi-Uinery store. N ew trimmer from Indianapolis at 3li r s. J. 31. Uopkins’ Slillinery Roomfe. ’ R. F. Priest and family have moved into the rooms over their Chicago Grocery. Splendid, new stock of spring .goods, at the new millinery store. 3lrs. Sadie Laßue’s old stand. Misses Laura Hodshire and Lottie Peacock began schools in Barkley tp., 3londay. Greensburgh, Kans., is now the comity seat of Kiowa comity and booming generally. Work on Peter Rlioacls’ new house, near the old school house, is making good progress.’ The “3lonon Route” people will lay 150 miles of new steel rails —made at Joliet, Illinois. J. G. Reynolds lias removed from River street into R. E. Priest’s house, on Front street. J. A. Tribby, the new landlord of the Nowels House, opened up - for business Monday 3lormng, The evangelist J. H. Sayler will begin his series of meetings at th e M, E. church, next Saturday evening. The boots and shoes at Leopold’s are selling off fast enough; if you don’t want any bargains, it certainly is not liis fault, Wm . HiUger, now in business for himself, in tlie hardware line, lias be'en in the employ of Norman Warner for 12 years. My stock of clothing must be sold, and to convince you, please call and make your own price. : ——l A. Leopold.

Geo. W. Goff has bought a lot on Main street, near Make-em-self ditch, and is thinking. of building a residence there this season. You can buy your Dry Goods at Leopold’s cheaper than at any previous time; as he is determined to quit business. The Republican is getting new subscribers just about every day, and some days several of them, but still there is room for more. T. H. West, late of Norway, White county, has been appointed postmaster at Rose Lawn, in the place of G. F. Smith, lately removed. > ■~ —r Mrs. Sadie Laßue has sold her entire stock of millinery goods to Mrs. J. M. Hopkins, who took possession on Monday, of this week, Have you made up your mind? If so call on Meyer, the druggist. He can fit you out with anything in the Paint, Wallpaper or Window shade line. . • The Sherwin-Williams mixed paints are the best in use. For sale only by Meyer, the Druggist. "Who is Meyer?: He is the paint anti wall paper man. Look to your interest and bay of him.

Wm. K. and John Eger ’ have bought J. R • Van Yoorst's stock ofr hardware, and have taken charge of the same, with Wm. K. as salesman in charge. The finest lot of Dress Goods, Blacks and colors, Crinkled Seersuckers, Ginghams, Lawns and White Gpods, selected by Mrs. Ludd Hopkins. Social meeting at the Free. Will Baptist church next Saturday at 2 o’clock. Preaching Sundry at 10:30 a. m., by Rev. B. F. Ferguson. All are cordirlly invited. A fine new boy, an II pounder, was born to Mr. and 3irs. J. 31. Hodshire, of Rensselaer, Tuesday, This is the 13th child born to this couple, and the 11th now living. If anybody asks you if Leopold is closing out, tell him ves! For it is a fact; and his arrangements arC made to open a Banking House, where people can get cheap money. The elegant new soda fountain lately put up by the enterprising grocer, Mr. C. G. Starr, works like a charm. We learn that the eos,t of the fountain with all its fixturesand appliances was about S6OO. R. J. Bowes, of Chicago, collector for Furst & Bradley, and John Oliaver, of Lafayette, an iron fence and monument man, are among those registered at the Makeever House, this week. S. M. Mai-tin, the physician and Wm. H. Martin, the attorney, both of Greenfield, this state, were present at their brother’s. Dr. R. Y’.. Martin’s funeral. They returned home 3londay night. Sam Nichols, the night operator, returned Monday after acting as station agent at Rose Lawn for about nine days. Mr. Taylor, of Indmnapolis, filled kick’s place here while he was at the Lawn. We are reliably informed that Mr. Leopold has fully determined to close out Lis mercantile business entirely, and to turn his attention to banking and business of a kindred nature. 3lr. C. P. Hopkins, who has been connected with The Republican 'V .. - for over three years, in the capacity of foreman of the mechanical department, has accepted another situation and is no longer connected with this paper. The wife of Jesse Shelby, who lives in the northeastern part of Carpenter township, died last Saturday, at the age of about 35 years. She leaves a husband and four young children. The husband is also in very poor health. 0 ~~ Kettering & Bukowsky, two enterprising young men of French Island, Keener tp., have lately purchased of M. Beam, of Remington, one of the finest young Norman horses' in this county. They paid.for him the good round price of SSOO. Of the sum total of allowances made by Judge Ward at the last term of the circuit court, a little over S6OO result directly from the Wartena case. From first to last " . ' A-.. this sum will not cover half, of .the total cost to this county resulting from, the murder of John Dreger. It is now that Noble J. York has concluded to remain in Monon, as we learn by the Dispufeh that he is opening up a store in that town. We also notice that he has been nominated by the Republicans for. member 51 the town council, of Monon. Sherman A. Havens, of Shelby county, has already been granted a divorce from his wife, now of Rensselaer. The latter receives a cash alimony of S3OO, and the privilege of resumingdjer maiden name of Condra. They were married last January.

We undSrstand that 31 rs. Green, the dress-maker, will remove her dress making shop to the up-stan s rboms of the Woods’ building, next door to the Post Ofiice, about May 1. • Hogs in the streets isuin aho junction that Rensselaer has long been free from. Monticollo however has just secured n hog ordinance,. and is rejoicing greatly thereat. Rivalry in the Shqe Trade may reach such a pitch that some firm may sell in tin' near future on installment; but, for the present, Ludd Hopkins will reduce stock, at lowest prices for cash. A pleasant pound party, at the Methodist preacher's place, was plentifully, attended and profusely patronized with presents in pound packages and other proper portable property, on Monday evening.. Persons intending to procure trees at the Rensselaer Nursery this spring, are requested to call for them at once, as they are now ready, and the sooner they are taken the better they can be handed. John Coen, Proprietor. The. cigar manufacturer, J. A. Andei'aon, and his assistant, R. B. Armstrong, began work in their factory, up-stairs in Makeever sold building last 31onday. They are both young married men and expect, if their patronage will justify it, to make this place their future residence. Ellen L. Barlow has brought suit against the L. N. A. & C. R’y. Co. for SIO,OOO damages resulting from the death of her husband, who was killed by the cars on the Kankakee bridge about two years ago. O. McConahay, of 31onon, ann,R- P- Davidson, of Lafayette, are prosecuting the suit. — Montieello Herald. 31'essrs. Alfred Thompson and G. H. Brown, of Rensselaer and Robert Parker, of Remington, have been drawn to served on the grand jury of the Federal court, at Indianapolis, for the may term. It is,, a remarkable co-inoidence that three members of that body should be taken from Jasper county, at one time. It is now stated that no losses will result from the bight of Trustee Kerlin, of Princeton township,. White county. One of the bondsmen says that every dollar of the shortage will be paid, and that the assets of the departed trustee will probably be sufficient to cover all shortages. At last accounts Kerlin was in Chicago. * Coen & Warren, the rustling young agents for 3linnesota lands are working the business for all there is in it. They know the value of advertising pretty well, and are advertising their landseajehing excursion in half a dozen neighboring papers- They are a couple of square boys and we wish them prooperity. The Free Will Baptist Sunday School was reorganized last Sunday and L. L. Daugherty elected Superintendent; Mr. Cummings asst, supt; Henry Daugherty, Secretary; Dora Healey, asst, secy.; Ada Daugherty, organist; Emma Robinson, librarian, and A. L. Willis, treasurer. T-he school is well attended and in a generally prosperous condition.

To The Ladies.

-T“T“:r - - . --- —r • — : r Mrs. J. M. Hopkins respectfully announces that she has bought Mrs. SadieXaKue r 8 large and elegant stock of millinery goods, and solicits a share of your custom. She has a most careful and tasteful trimmer, Miss Tharp, of Indianapolis; while the well known dressmaker, Miss McCormick, is still in charge of that department ..... Mrs. J. M. Hopkins. ' ‘ - ' Y

From Surrey comes the sad news of the unexpected death of Mw Lucy Wilcox, wife of Geo. 31. Wilco c, the well known merchant an,l j postmaster of Surrey. The cause d •of Ttenfh seems to lie somewhat- of a mystery. She had enjoyed excellent health up to last Saturday evening, and her death took plAce on Tuesday evening. Her age was 36 years. She was a sister of Mrs. E. C- Nowels, of Rensselaer. Besides her husband she leaves three youug children to mourn her i untimely death. Several of our Republican friends of Keener township, who were in town last Saturday called at the Republican office to enquire why there was a blank space in the call for the county convention in the j place where should have been a figure giving the number of delegates to the convention to which the township is entitled. We had not noticed the omission before, and upon examination found that the type which should have expressed the number had been brSken. 3Ve have made the necessary correction this week. .. 'i The case of Dr. R. Y- Martin, the varying phases of whose long sickness have received frequent mention in this paper, became hopeless towards the end of last week, and at certain times on Saturday afternoon his death was momentarily expected. He lingered however until 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon when death put an end to lifs sufferings. The funeral was held at the residence, at 3:30 p. m. Monday, the Rev. D. Handley conducting the religious services. It was very largely attended. The deceased leaves a wife and two young sons. Lewis S. Alter returned from South Bend, Monday, He has been up there engineering ditches for the past three weeks. He re-, ports prospects for wheat throughout counties in northern Indiana as very good. Lewis has quite a reputation as a surveyor and engineer, having been corresponding secretary of the Association of Surveyors and Civil Engineers, of Indiana, for the last three years. He will stay at home now until after the nominating convention, and attend to his duties as chairman of west precinct central committee;'in Carpenter township. The California excursionists, 3lessrs. Kannal, Roberts, Hollingsworth, and Willey reached Los Angelos, (the “City of the Angles,” as the extravagant Spaniards call it) on the 14th. They are having a glorious good time, and enjoying their trip without measure. At Los Angelos, the center of the orange culture, they could buy fine oranges at 6 to 10 cents per dozen; and bushels of them wasting under the trees. A fine wheat crop is nearly ready to harvest there, corn 8 inches high, and grape vines in fine condition. They call the place the “garden spot of America” and we know that it justifies the term, for we have “been there,” ourself. A-lt ex-candidate of two yeijrs ago examined the mud besplashed shirt front of a present candidate, a few days ago, and declared that he had been there so much that lie could tell just, which township each-splash was from. This splash you got in Gillam, that one is iYalker dirt I know, and this big daub here came from Barkley,” &c. &c. The candidate himself declared, however, that the whole assortment came from one chuck-, hole in the north part of Marion township. New shades of Kid Gloves 75 cts. The finest display of Dry Goods ever in the Store, at Hopkins’ Corner. - -4
