TOWN AND COUNTRY.

Mrs. Davis, of Trenton, Mo., is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. H. H. Graham. E. H. Graham has sold his paper, the Morocco Courier, to his assistant, S. L. Bartholomew. Bro. Graham is not a stayer. Handsome lace curtains, 3 yards each, only 60 cents per pair; best $1 to $3 per pair. Chicago Bargain Store. Mrs. F. B. Meyer and Mrs. Able Grant reached home from their New Orleans trip, last Thursday. They report a very pleasant trip. Beautiful mohair brillianteen dress goods, in all shades, lOcts. to 50cts. per yard. Chicago Bargain Store. J. W. Porter left for Oregon Tuesday, to inspect the situation with a view to removal. He will go to the locality where his sons, Will and Robt M., are settled. The Laßue Bros, have just brought here from Porter county three very handsome and well matched Hambletonian mares, which they are preparing for the market as carriage horses. T. J. McCoy and Delos Thompson are on a business trip down east, as far as New York City. Their business is largely connected with the affairs of the Rensselaer Stock Farm, we understand. Mrs. Stewart Jones, of Clintonville, Wis., is the guest of Mrs. E. D. Rhoades. Mrs. Jones] and her husband were formerly well-known residents of Rensselaer, when the latter was a conductor on the old Narrow Guage railroad. . Drs. Alter and Kirk did not find their quartets in Leopold’s corner block so satisfactory as they anticipated and last week moved back to their old room, over Priest & Paxton’s grocery store. They are Mr. Leopold’s tenants, in either location. It is to be seen, by reference to the real estate transfer report of this week, that Servetus Gerard, of Union township, has disposed of his landed possessions, in that township. Perhaps Servetus has the fear of a judgment on Rhoda Lakin’s libel suit, before his eves.

We defy all competition on the following prices: Women’s all solid leather shoes GOcts. “ kid solid leather shoes SI.OO. Men’s work shoes 75, 85, and SI.OO. Men’s boots $1.50. Infants’ shoes 25cts. Boys’ shoes sizes 8 to 12, 50cts. Misses’ shoes 50cts to sl. Chicago Bargain Store. Squire Jim Morgan got to the front again with his one time and two motions marrying process, last Thursday. The happy couple was Mr. Firman W. Rutherford, of Tippecanoe county, and Miss Rose E. Fleming, of Jordan tp. The marriage took place, in the Squire’s own temple of law, lather and love, ordinarily called his barber shop. Tuesday Wallace Murray, Lewis Bull, B. F. Robinson and Sam English escorted into town from Barkley township the remains of a big he wolf, which they had slain bj r their united efforts. They had beeiTshodting St him for several days, and had him se full of shot that he could not leave the neighborhood if he had tried. The bounty on grown wolves, in this county, is ten dollars. The present spell of weather has been about the coldest of the season, since Thanksgiving, and in favorable localities considerable ice has formed in the . river. Yesterday morning C. C. Starr began filling his ice house, with ice of pretty good quality, and 4 inches thick. He has a large force of men at wotk, and will work day and night until the weather grows warmer. T. P. Haus also began icing-up yesterday. Johnny smoke the Mascot.

RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 0, 1890.

The meetings at the M. E. church still continue. They have resulted in 22 accessions to the membership of the church, to the present time. Cone’s Boss over-alls, best in the world, can always be found at the Chicago Bargain Store, the only place they are now kept in Rensselaer. J. H. Willey <fe Son will be able to show their customers the best assortment of lace curtains and lace goods ever brought to Rensselaer. Bishop Knickerbocker, of Indianapolis, Episcopalian bishop of the diocese of Indiana, will hold services in the M. E. church, next Tuesday evening. The publie is. invited to attend. E. D. Rhoades, postmaster which is to be, has received official notice of his appointment. He expects to have his papers in shape to take possession of the office by the Ist of April. We now have a complete line of ladies’, gents’ and children’s fine shoes, of the best brands of handturned and hand-sewed shoes. Chicago Bargain Store. A procession of six wagon loads of household goods went through town Monday. The goods were the property of David Leatherman, his father and brother, who have become tenants of J. C, Porter’s farm, northeast of town. They come from White county. D. A. StonerTof this vicinity, has purchased a place at Rensselaer, and will move his family to that place about July Ist. He will continue in the raising of fine poultry. We are sorry to lose Mr. S., and family from our midst, but wish them the best of success.—Morocco Courier. The pressure of the wood famine in town was somewhat relieved yesterday, by the appearance of a long procession of loads of wood, from Nubbin Ridge-wards. A few more days of solid roads and the lucky owners of wood can take the timelocks off of their wood-houses. Mrs. A. McCoy, her daughter, Mrs. Mattie Rinehart and Miss Blanche Loughridge left last night to take a trip down the Mississippi river, by steam boat v to New Orleans and return. They will take the boat at Louisville but will leave it at Cincinnati, on their return. • • The J. C. Williams photograph gallery, with outfit and good-will has been sold to J. & H, J. Bartoo, who will re-open it next week, after putting it in thorough repair and adding much new and improved apparatus. The gallery will be under the direct management of Miss Jessie Bartoo, who has acquired a thorough knowl-edge-Of the art under the able instruction." of—Mr. and g?; Mfgr Jr~A5 J Sharp. Another important deal m Rensselaer business property is to be recorded this week. It is the sale of the Trade Palace building, including the Opera House, to John Eger. He purchased it of a Mr. Wolfe, of Chicago, who bought it of the Economy Store Company. The price paid by Mr. Eger was about $8,500. The change of ownership will not disturb the tenancy of the Trade Palace store room, which will still be occupied by J. H. Willey <fc Son. Three more SIO,OOO suits against the Monon railroad were filed in the Circuit Court at Frankfort Thursday, by Judge .Suit, as the attorney for Mrs. Charles Sipes- Mrs. Tom Austin and the heirs of John T. Rose. Mesdames Sipes and Austin, while driving across the company’s track in October last were struck by a passing train. Rose was a deaf mute, who was killed in the same manner a year ago. Four SIO,OOO suits have been filed in the Clinton court this week against that company. Constable Billy Wood was. over in Remington last Friday and brought back with him James Ro3 r alty, who has failed to pay the $lO fine, with costs, assessed against him at the last term of court, for keeping a gambling establishment. James will have a chance to board at the county’ jail until about the time that the crimson breasted harbingers of spring, known in common jrarlanee as the robins, are prepared to resume domestic relations at the old stand, if he doesn’t “whack up.”

L. C. Rockwell, of Kankakee tp., is one of the champion old men of the county. He is 81 years old, and this week he came to Rensselaer, a distance of 25 miles, on horseback, and led a fat cow,.which he sold to one of our butchers. He says he did not feel any the worse for his long ride. Stockholders in the Rensselaer' Building, Loan <fe Savings Association should remember the annual, stockholders’ meeting, in the Town Hall, next Monday, and be on hand ! promptly, as the meeting will open at 8 o’clock, sharp, and dispatch its bus- ! iness promptly, to make room for, the Town Board, which holds its monthly meeeting that night. The j chief business of the meeting will be the election of three directors, to succeed Messrs Ellis, Eger, and Seib, whose terms will then expire. It requires 20 stockholders to constitute a quorum.

Auditor Robinson has received for gratuitous distribution among the voters of this county, a considerable number of copies of an excellent manual of the new election law, prepared in accordance with the order •of the State Legislature. Voters desiring copies can obtain them by calling upon the auditor, at his office. Te-sueh of our county readers as do not get to town very often, and who would like to study up on this important subject, The Republican will send copies of the manual, upon receipt of three cents in stamps, to pay the postage. Tbe Range Line gravel road pro ject is not a success. From a variety of reasons, the farmers along the northern portion of the line have decided against it, and therefore the required majority of acres cau not be secured. Along the south end of the line, the case has been entirely different, and nearly all -the land owners have signed the petition. It is now understood that the people managing the south end of the proposed road, will prepare anew petition providing fori?road across Carpenter township from north to south, through the town of Remington. This road will probably follow the same line as was proposed for the former project, as far as it goes. The teachers and school officers of the Rensselaer schools gave Prof. Reubelt, the superintendent, a birthday surprise party, last Thursday evening, at his residence, on the oc casion of his 36tli birthday. The “surprise” part was a failure from the fact that of one of the school boys got jthe professor QtO excuse him, while he delivered some oysters <fcc„ at the professor’s house. A number of desirable presents, including a fine study chair, a smoking outfit and books, were substantial tokens of the good wishes of the guests. The members of the professor’s German language class expressed their regards by sending him a box of cigars, a bottle of beer and a hunk of cheese. This gift was accompanied by a card from the donors, written in the language of de Faderland.

The County Commissioners.

Tlic Honorable Board of County Commissioners of Jasper County, met in regular quarterly session, last Monday, with a full board present. Three parties had published notices of intention to apply for saloon licenses, but only one of the three appeared before the Board, in pursuance to their notices. This was Chas. A. Gundy, of Fair Oaks, whose application was granted. The parties who relucted were Milton Clark, of Remington, and Geo. W. Tilton, of Wheatfield. Clark’s case was dismissed, on motion of his attorney. No action has been taken on Tilton’s application. The present very favorable contract for county stationery, with Spring, Emerson & Co., of Lafayette, was renewed for another year, on the same terms. I Viewers have been appointed in three very important ditch cases. One of these is the 8 mile ditch in Keener and Wheatfield tps., already described. One of the others is a joint ditch in the counties of Jasper, Pulaski and White, and the other in Jasper and White, only.

The Rensselaer School Report.

This the second term report of the Rensselaer Graded School is, as a whole, quite excellent. Daring the seeond month of this term the attendance was cut down to nearly 300 pupils, sickness—LaGrippe—being the cause. Some days as many as seventy were absent. I presume that more than 60 pef cent, of the school children were afflicted with the disease, and all the teachers had a severe or mild attack; but the disease has had its day, the health is improved and the attendance is again normal.

| But, notwithstanding the absence ; caused principally by sickness, the reports of the pupils, in the several ! grades, are high. The general average after each pupil’s name, is based upon his class or daily average and the examination grade. All pu- ; pils that have an average grade above 85 per cent, did quite well. The members of the senior class as well as some of the other members of the high school have made remarkably high averages. It is to be hoped and greatly desired that all the school children be kept in school until its close. To be promoted, to get a grade, this will be required. Parents, by no means allow your children to quit school on account of fine weather, or because they are tired; but see to it that they persevere to the end. The habit thus formed of perseverance, fidelity to work or duty, will be of inestimable value to them after they have passed the age of majority. Respectfully submitted, F. W. Reubelt, Supfa.
