RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1886.

Locals and Personals.

Mrs. F. J. is visiting relatives in Oxford for a few weeks. Zimri Paris, of Bridgewater, Dak., is visiting his relatives here. Mr. J. H. Willey, the merchant, is building a big addition to his already large barn, at his residence, south of town. Mr. E. K. Mason, of Whitehall, Mich., joined Mrs. Mason at this place, Saturday night. They returned to Whitehall last evening. J. Q. Alter has sold to J., C. Passons his residence near the old school house, and bought of Mr. Pass oils the latter’s crop on a rented farm north of town, s The Rev. F. Taylor, of Lafayette, who is spending the week in this place, says that Rensselaer has the finest residences and the poorest churches of any town of its size that he knows of. Mrs. Will H. Derrick, of Frankfort and Mrs. Lena Barkley, of Monon, visited their friend Miss Tharp, with Mrs. J. M. Hopkins, the milliner, over Sunday. The ladies were much pleased with Rensselaer and its people.

F. L. Cotton gives excellent reports regarding the Rey. T. C. Webster, tvho is now at Plum Creek, Neb. He is pleased with the country and the people, while the people of his-eharge are pleased with him beyond measure, and lie is doing great work for the cause there. M aur i age Licenses. —Since last reported the Clerk of the Jasper Circuit Court has issued licenses authorizing the marriage of the following named couples: —_ j Chas. H. Peck, l Alice A. Allman. \ Robert W. Sprigg, | Geneviene O. Osborne. “Seven fair daughters of one race” went up into Joe Sharp’s photograph gallery lately and had their photograph taken in a group. They were the “Osborne sisters,” Mesdames Johnson and Mason, of Whitehall, Mich., Cole, of New Albany, E. L. Clark and J. F. Warren, of Rensselaer, Sprigg, of Chicago and Miss Hattie Osborne, of New Albany. County Superintendent Nelson intends having a good time and seeing a little or the world, during the summer vacation. He will first attend the National Educational Association, at Topeka, Kans. from July-0, to 16, and from there he will take a trip either to the‘City of Mexico, in the republic

of that name, or will visit California, and the Pacific coast, in our country. Clerk J. F. Irwin accompanied his sister Miss Carrie Irwin and Miss Ollie Heuricks, teachers in the Remington schools, to Chicago, Tuesday. They took in the principal sights, and it being the young ladies’ first visit there, they were naturally much interested. A big den of howling wolves in Lincoln Park reminded them very much of the frantic, howling brokers in the Board of Trade building. County Surveyor Thrawls b as just purchased, by authority of the Board of Commissioners, a new surveyor’s transit instrument for the use of himself and lii9 successors in office. W. & L. E. Gurley, of Troy, N. Y., are the makers, and the price, at the factory, is §l6O. Mr. Thrawls is a competent judge and he pronounces it a fine instrument. Some idea of the excellence of the object glass may be had from the facts that a bright stake a half inch in width may be seen at a mile dist ance; and thatj by its use, some men, in the court house tower counted cattle in a drove five miles distant ’ ■ - -j '■ **

Elder Dwiggins will preach at the Christain church, Sunday morning, Mrs. B. Moore, of Burnettsville, 2nd., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Washburn. Only two marriage licenses were issued by the County Clerk,- during the month of June. Judge Hamrnond expects to go Frankfort, next Monday, to hold court.for a few days. • Mr. Flynn, the miller, has been very sick this week with peritonitis, but is somewhat better now. Mrs. Michael Schneider, of Cleveland, Ohio,, is visiting her relatives, the Bisloskeys, in New- : ton township. The Rev. Mr- Taylor, of Lafayette, preached in the M. E. church Sunday morning. He is a brother-in-law of Mrs. John Makeever. The Rev. and Mrs. Frank Taylor, of Lafayette, are visiting Mr. and Mrs. John Makeever, this I week. The ladies are sisters. i ■ . 1 Mrs. Caroline D. Martin and i Edward D. Rhoades have been appointed administrator and administratrix of the' estate of the late Dr. R. Y. Martin. Jay Dwiggins has come back from Florida. He has been sick and has concluded that a northern climate would be better for him in the summer months.

Mrs. Williams started for Milwaukee, AYis., yesterday to visit her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Edmunds. She will be absent during the balance of the summer. No celebration will be held at Monticello. The people of those towns had better come to Rensselaer, and take in the balloons and big time, at the fair grounds. I. L. Cotton and little son, of Omaha, Neb., are visiting old friends here. He tells marvellous things regarding the growth of Omaha, and the advance in the value of property there, this spring.

Squire E. T. Harding, of Magnolia, Miss., an old and well known resident of Rensselaer, has come here to spend the summer. He had a sun-stroke a week or two ago, and thought it well to come north for a while. C. C. Warner has just bought of F. W. Babcock all of the Insurance business of the' Rensselaer Loan and Insurance Bureau, and will hereafter have exclusive charge of the same. Capt. Babcock intends to confine his attentions more exclusively to his law practice. *

■** Miss Mary F. Chilcote and Miss Edith A. Miller, went to Winona, Minn., yesterday, to visit Mrs. May M 7. Thomas, who will be remembered as'’*Miss May Miller. They will be absent several weeks. M. F. Chilcote accompanied them as far as Chicago. He will return Friday morning. The sham battle to be given at Lafayette, Ind., July 31, during the Encampment of the Indiana Legion and visiting companies, will be upon a scale never before attempted at a similar gathering in the State and will exhibit the action and movements of troops under actual fire, witlT such a realistic effect that the onlookers will see war itself, save the actual flow of blood and consequent sacrifice of life. Next Saturday, July 3rd, is the date of the big time in the Rensselaer Fair Grounds. The simultaneous ascension of two immense balloons, each carrying a daring trapeze performer, is the great attraction of the day. In addition there is to be high rope-walking, base ball, races, games &c. and a big dance in Floral Hall. We believe Mr. Rosa will do as he advertise*,

Mrs. Minerva J. Wright has gone to Monticello to visit her sister, Mrs. Imes. Uncle Micah Sayler began to get around again last week, after five or six week’s confinement with the rheumatism. c- f The Rosa brothers, the balloon men, of Lafayette, are negotiating with the State Encampment officials to make a balloon ascension, at the coming encampment, at Lafayette. Victor Lee, an old Lafayette boy and at one time carrier boy on the Courier, is in the city on a visit, after an absence of ten years. He is now running a cattle ranch in Mexico and is prospering.—Lafayette Courier. The Victor Lee, aforesaid, was bom in Rensselaer, if we are correctly informed.

Otto VVapler, a former resident of Jasper county, writing from Beloit, Kan., to renew bis paper, speaks enthusiastically of the prospects of Mitchell county; says crops are promising well now and the town of Beloit is booming. Mr. Wapler says he would give “Our Simon” a lift if he were now a resident of Jasper. Harry Francisco, who used to be conductor of the Laiayette and Chicago accommodation train, during its existence; and later was made a division superintendent on the Ohio and Mississippi railroad, has lost that office through its consolidation with another, and he is now running a passenger train, on the same, line, between ‘ Cincinnati and St. Louis.

AYm. A. Rinehart has lately bought a fine Kentucky saddle horse, for the use of Mrs. Rinehart, principally, we understand. It is a fine looking animal, and of all the versatility for which well trained saddle horses from the Blue Grass state are noted, —can go in seven different gaits in sixteen feet,, or sixteen different gaits in seven feet, we don’t just remember which.

Important changes are said to be in contemplation on the L., N. A. &C. shortly. It is the intention to put down steel rails all the way between Chicago and Indianapolis, place the road in l the very best condition, provide" first-class rolling equipment and make the Air Line the principal division of the road. The work is to be accomplish ed by next winter, when the Air Line will become a formidable rival for passenger traffic between Cincinnati and Chicago. —MovikeUo Herald. A dreadful accident occurred on the Mo'non last Saturday morning, just below Lafayette Junction. The early morning passenger train, which passes Rensselaer at a little before five o’clock, but which was about six hours late, that morning, owing to a freight train wreck, further down ""the road, struck a wagon loaded with corn and upon which were riding Alexander Miller and wife, an old and well known couple of Jackson township, Tippecanoe county. Both of the old people were killed instantly.

One of the finest oratorical efforts of Judge Hammond’s life was, without doubt, the address which he didn’t deliver, at Morocco, last Thursday, on the subject of Free’ Masonry. He was on hand, and ready with his speech, but a heavy and long protracted rain set in, making out-of-door sphech-making out of the question, and there being no audiepce room, worth mentioning, in the town, there was nothing for it but to give it up and come home. Many of the exercises prepared for the day were rendered in the afternoon, but the Judge was obliged to come back to look after matters in court, and bould not remain. , * <2?

R. P. Benjamin is slowly improving. from his attack of congestion of the bowels. Miss Jackson, of Akron, Ohio, is the guest of her cousin, Miss Lizzie Purcupile. The post-office will be open on Saturday next, only from 11:30 to 1 o’clock, and from 5 to 6. Misses Ella Stockton and Lula Perkins are visiting at Dr. Bitters. The fprmer is a graduate of Purdue. A. J. Yeoman, of Jordan, and" his cousin, the Sheriff, w9re in Chicago Monday and Tuesday, on business. Coen & Warren, the rustling real-estate men, have a new advertisement in this issue tof the Republican.

The Great Discovery —Soapine, l&e Dirt Killer —for washing and cleaning no matter what. Harmless to hands or fabrics. __ J. W. King. Tuesday night the following officers were -elected by Iroquois Lodge, I. O. 0. F., Noble Grand, Archibald Grubb; Vice-Grand, John Kohler,Sec’y., J. R. Vanatta; Treasurer, C. 0. Starr. ■Y/ f: Notice is hereby given that the undersigned Banking houses will be closed on July 3, 1886, in observance of legal holiday. Citizens Bank. A. McCoy & Co. Farmers Bank. Kiowa county, Kansas, of which Greensburg is the county seat, last week voted aid to two railroads, both of which will probably be built. It jis more than ever evident that the Jasperite colony in and about Greensburg have “struck it rich.” Last Friday was the 61st birthday of our esteemed townsman, Mr. Berry Paris, and it was thought to celebrate the occasion by the meeting together, at the evening meal, of all the sons and daughters of the family. As ill-luck would have it, however, Mr. Zimri Paris, of Bridgewater, Dak., the oldest son, failed to make connections in Chicago, and did not arrive until the. night train, and pressure of business- prevented Mr. John Paris, of Attica, the second son, from being present. The youngest son, Robert, and the four daughters, were all present.

Through the liberality of the citizens of Lafayette it has been made possible for the Indiana Legion to go into camp for instruction at the Tippecanoe County Fair Grounds, from July 26 to -August 2, inclusive. In addition to which there will be a grand prize drill, open to all comers, for a prize of 81,000. In addition to these, prizes are offered to the State militia, making an aggregate of $3,600 to be offered for competition, including the above free for all. The Encampment will be under-strict military regulations, exhibiting every phase of a soldier’s life in the field.

The divorce case of L. Hannen Hilton vs Harriet Hilton, which was on the docket for the June term of the circuit court, was remarkable only in the fact that the parties live among that remarkably moral and law abiding people, the inhabitants of Gillam township. The complaint was brought by the husband and the wife represented to the court that she was poor and unable to defend her case, and the court ordered that the husband should deposit one hundred dollars with the clerk, for the use of the wife ip hiring an attorney, but the husband not having the requiste sum to spare, for that purpose, the case was dismissed and the parties are still united by the more or less holy bonds of mrtrimony. ~~
