RENSSELAER. JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1886.

Locals and Personals.

A time new line of Mies’ shawls and woolen hoods, Fendigs. i The god of the Pueblo Indians j will be present at the Art Loan Exhibition. J. C. Porter lias shipped seven carloads of oats during the last ten days. Fred Chilcote began his term of school at Brushwood, Uniop tp. last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Daugherty started across country, last Thursday, to visit relatives for a week or so, in Porter county.

McCoy and Mr. Watson, of Crawfordsville, are putting in a week at Beaver Lake shooting ducks and geese. Ladies’ factory-made, all wool skirts, durable, comfqrtablie and cheap. Call and see di|m, at R. Fendig’s. » The Goodland Herald states that many farmers in the vicinity of Goodland are in want of hands for husking corn, and are paying good wages for the same. Rev. Peter Hinds is now occupying Judge Hammond’s small tenant house, on the corner of Division and Harrison streets, formerly occupied by Turkey Joe Sharp. Parents desiring to purchase overcoats for their boys will make a mistake if they fail to examine; R. Fendig’s stock in that line. He has a fine stock of reliable, goods and at bottom pr/qgs., John K Burroughs, of Hammond, has been visiting-his old I acquaintances here since Tuesday. I This is his first visit since leaving here five years ago. He is healthy and prosperous. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has recommended that the public schools of the state observe Nov. 19tli and April Bth, as Arbor Days by planting trees and shrubs ~about the school premises. The Delphi papers are authority for the statement that the big gas well at Kokomo has already “pet 2 eredout?’ The boring was continued some distance after gas was struck with the result of a big flow of water that chokes off the gas. Judge P. H. Ward’s residence, in Kentland, just missed destruction by fire last Sunday afternoon. It caught fire from a flue and the fire had got under considerable headway when discovered, but not so much but that prompt exertion extinguished it before any serious harm was done. P. B. Severson, the music dealer of LaFayette, for whom T. J. Farden has been travelling this fall visited him here last Thursday, and while he was-here they took orders for two pianos. Mr. S. found the prospects so good hese that he decided to leave Mr. Farden in this field until ..Holidays, with headquarters at Hemplull & Honan’s The big strike in the stockyards and packing houses of Chicago, now in progress, is almost morally . certain to result disastrously to the strikers, and to throw the most Gt them out of employment just at the season pf the year when it will occaspn the greatest hardship to their families. They Juul no good grounds for striking but Aid so at i the command of some of the ey)iiscienceless and brainless agitators who are at the head of the labor organizations.

The Hon. Will Cumback will lecture in Monticello, next Monday evening. Bed comfortables from 75 cents &P to §2, in to close out, at Ellis & Murray 1 #; • Simon Philips, Poor farm Superintendent, is slowing recovering from his long and dangerous sickness.

Williams, of Cleveland, 0., is still constantly using the water of our Artesian well, and says it is better than any" mineral water sold in Cleveland. Remomber the Art Loan Exhibition. Opens this Thursday evening and lasts over Friday evening, in the Nowels building, over R. Fendig’s store. Mr. Emmet Kannal, the druggist, and his jeweler, Mr. Huff, went to Chicago yesterday morning, to buy goods, and will probably be in the city the balance of the week. Lumber, Wood and Coal.—ls you want a good article at a reasonable price, give ndl >a call. I believe I can please m K. Pf Benjamin. If a protracted rainy season sets in at this time it will be very injurious to the ungathered corn crop, owing the fact that,so much of it is lying upon tne ground, as the result of heavy wind s'xirms. Iroquois Lodge, I. O. O. F., last Tuesday evening elected C. B. Steward representative and 0. C. Starr alternate, to tfie annual meeting of the Grand Lodjje, which convenes in.lndianapolis Nov. 17. Mrs. H. W. Porter has been very sick for some time with inflammatory rheumatism. Her sufferings have been intense, and her condition, at times, about desperate. AV e are glad to say that her condition now is somewhat improved. H. B. Murray, of Barkley tp., and Will Babcock, of South Marion, two promisin'?; and progressive young farmers, ace the latest accessions to the K. of P. lodge of this place. Bayard Clark is just beginning to struggle up the thorny pathway which leads to Knighthood." We were misinformed last week as to the ages of two of our esteemed citizens, whom we classed among the venerable voters. Mr. d. Purcupile is only 68 and Uncle Billy Beck only 65. On the other hand we failed to mention Messrs. Rial Benjamin, who ia 77 and Micah Sayler, who is 72. They are both sound Republicans. We last week gave a list of old men who voted in Rensselaer at the late election. Of those living outside of Marion township we may now mention the venerable justice Wm. Tharp, of Remington, who is 85 and Horace Blood, of the same town, who is 82; and of Milroy tp., but formerly of Rensselaer, Mr. Frazee, w’ho is about 80. these are stanch Republicans. Mr. Wm R. Kennedy, State Superintendent of agencies for Indiana, of the Iroquois Life Insurance Association, of Kentland, was in town yesterday, having come over in company with Sheriff Martindale, of Newton county. The above nam d Association is a new company, j list chartered by Kentland parties. David L. Bishop is president of the company, Andrew Hall,treasurer, W. L. Royse, Secretary, and John French, of the Kentland Gazette, is vice-presi-dent.

Char ley Porter is again practicing telegraphy in the express office. ? Gloves of all styles at R. Fendig’s. / Q Born.; —Nov. 3d, a son to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hochbaum, Union township. Miss Lydifl. Paris is engaged in teaching oil painting, at Oxford, Otterbein and other points. Ellis & Murray sell Hall’s patent husking glovefiy, They are good ones. .. > Mr. and Mrs. John T. Ford are running the Cotton house, having rented and moved into the same last week. Daddy and Mrs. Cotton started east last Thursday, and expect to visit relatives in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia until Spring. The Art Loan exhibition, by the Ladies Literary Society, begins this Thursday evening, and continues to-morrow and to-morrow evening. Grandmother Dwiggins reached home Tuesday, after a two months visit with relatives in Richmond, Ind. and in Ohio. , She is now staying with her daughter, Mrs. Berry Parrs. Mr. Theobold Carew, late of Templeton, Benton county, has leased Leopold’s stone building and will apply to the commissioners in December for a license to keep a saloon there. The John Makeever family monument is now completed with the exception of the statue of a symbolical female figure, which is to crown the work. This has been made in Italy and is not expected to arrive until next month. “Somebody’s darlings” are damaging school property and will get into trouble if they do not stop soon. It costs money to build, even out houses, and parents have to pay taxes. The reform school or penitentiary are just in front of such deeds. Better stop. %* Clerk Irwin was taken with quite a severe sickness yesterday morning and his friends were obliged to carry him home in a carriage. At last aceottnts-he was confined to his bed. His sickness is principally an attack of pleurisy, resulting from a bad cold, we understand. He is out again this morning. The jury commissioners, Messis Alfred Thompson and Georg® H Brown, met in the Clerk’s office last Friday and made up the list of jurors for the year 1887. The names of 144 good men, tax payers of the county, written qd slips of paper, were placed in the box I kept in the Clerk’s office for the purpose; apd the Monday previous to the beginning of each term of court, 18 of these names are drawn out, by lot, and the six first drawn constitute the grand jury and the other 12 the petit jury. The uncertainty attending the result in this state, so far as the Legislature was concerned, had the effect of causing preparations for a jubilee last Saturday evening to go by default, and there were therefore no organized exercises. A considerable number 'of the more enthusiastic, however, got out Yeoman’s martial band and went to Senator Thompson’s residence and called that gentleman out for a speech. Afterwards a considerable quantity of powder wasffired off, and the boys built a big bon-fire in the street near the ■ . ' i.’L court house well. This meant (lire havoc among the empty boxes abuut the various stores, and deep grief among the proprietors th< reof theto?', empty ‘ boxes arc very salable goods at this season of the year. t , ..

A son was born to Mr Nymn Hopkins, of Surrey, Sunday Oct. 31. Fine new line of Coif-sjfin boots and shoes, for winteaPv'ear, at RFenidg’s. The W. 0. T.

Scott, a well known citizen of Oxford, and a former clerk of Benton county, was last week reported to have been killed in Colorado, where he had large mining interests. Charley Harley, of Delphi, the newly elected Representative of the Carroll county district, hast many friends in this place who will rejoice at his honor in being the first Republican who has been elected to the place for years. To Ditch Commissioner Clark belongs the credit of being the first to complete a ditch the same year of beginning it. The big Fisher ditch, in Kankakee tp., is now completed. It was begun last Spring. It is six miles long and the longest ditch in the county we believe. Grandfather Babb is making good progress in remodelling the interior of the old school house into a -well arranged, comfortable and spacious hotel and boarding house The exterior of the building and the grounds surrounding it will" also be repaired and improved, but probably not until another year. Barney Woodworth, the genial freightman and general teamster, is now well fixed for handling heavy articles, such as pianos, tombstones &c., having lately procured an outfit of the necessary pullies, rollers &c. Last Friday he moved from the depot to Weston cemetery the two principal marble blocks in the new Makeever monument, one of which weighed 7,000 pounds and the other 6,500. On Saturday he successfully wrestled the heavy piano belonging to Mrs. Frank Foltz, and moved it up the steep stairs to Mr. Foltz’s rooms in McCoy’s building. The stock of goods in the store at Pleasant Ridge, lately the. property of Washington S. Lowman, has been in a great deal of litigation during the last few days. Lewis Falley, of Lafayette, obtained a judgment against Lowman, anti the Sheriff took possession of the stock on the strength of that judgment. Other .Lafayette parties then replevin ed the goods, on the grounds of a prior purchase, and Coroner Blue took the stock from the Sheriff. The latter parties are now in possession and conducting the store.
