Snake stories being stale news, the Fort Wayne News gets off the follow ing “Whopper:” “A census enumera tor here has found a colored woman named Martha Gray, who has had thirty-seven children since 1868. She is now living with her third husband, and of the thirty-seven children but one survives. W. W.

John Zimmjerva well known resident of Jordan tp., was overcome by the heat, one day last week ~m~~ C hitagOr——ttftft -- died after a short time. Although an estimable man in other respects, he was an excessive drinker, and to that fact may probably be largely attributed the seizure which caused his death.

The severest protracted hot spell for years, and one of the worst ever known in the "month of June in this section, came to an end last Tuesday, with a cooling breeze from the north. For two weeks the thermometer •'-• 1 - - ranged above the nineties and on one or two days passed the hundred mark. In some particular localities as high as a hundred and fourteen, in the shade, has been reported. David Daniels, a man of very ad- ; vanced years, died last Friday, June 26, at the home of bis brother-in-law, James Snyder, in Walker tp. The cause of his death was dropsy and weakness from old age.

The editor reached home Monday morn big, after an absence of two weeks, spent with the editoral excursion and in seeing the sights at our National Capital. The pleasure as well tis the advantages of the trip were considerably interfered with, in kjf particular case by sickness. We desire to inform the members of the Womens Relief Corps that bn account of the hot weather we will not assemble •in Corps room until the last Monday night in August. Mrs. Reynolds, Mattie Wasson. President. Secy. Miss Grace Maxwell, daughter of Dr. 8. C. Maxwell, formerly of Rem--' ington, carried off the highest honors of the High School, of Duluth, Minn. She was the Valedictorian. She was in the High School but two years. Youug Jasperites can win honors and fame if they are studious and persevering. The Republican congratulates - Miss Maxwell and hopes her future conquests may be as easily made. The family of Mrs. John Yeoman, of Newton tp., has been greatly afflicted during the past week, by the death of two of its members. On Thursday, June 26th, the daughter Emma died, after a week’s sickness, with measles, complicated with a lung trouble. Her age was about 24 years. Oa Sunday, June 29th, the son Elbert died also. He too had the measles but the cause of his death is mostly attributed to.nervous prostration, caused by apprehension of a fatal determination of his sickness and by the excessive heat of the weather. His age was about 20 years.

John Bicknell, Jr., from out north was in town last Friday and while in town experienced a prostration from sun stroke. While walking along W ashington street in front of R. Fendig’s dry good store, he suddenly began feeling famt, and in a few steps more fell 3 almost into the arras of John Chileote, who was sitting in front of the score. He was laid on the side walk and water was applied as a restorative. When he commenced returning to consciousness, Dr. V. E. Loughrige happened along, and had him carried him into the Nowels House, where he completely recoveried from the effects of the sunstroke. f ‘ As the census enumerators were not permitted to reveal to anyone the results of their labors in any particular, there is no way of knowing positively what the population of Rensselaer is, until the census office jgets ready to make it public. We : can give a pretty straight tip on the :nntter, however, and can say that Rensselaer will, in some degree, share the fate of most grooving towns by finding the census figures not up to their expectations. Those who have estimated the population of the town of 2,000 will be disappointed to the extent of more than 500; while even the very conservative estimate oi 1.500 will, when the figures are published, be found from 50 to 100 too large.

Among the many interesting features of the Fourth of Jul3 r celebration here, will be a game of base ball between a picked nine of } r oung Indians from St. Joseph’s Indian School upon one side, and another picked nine from the town ball p layer j.

It will take place about 3 o’clock I*. 3i., on the town base ball grounds. The following are the names of the pla3’crs in the respective nines: ,
