Look at Leopold’s 5 and 10 cent counters. Numberless articles can be found there, at those prices, worth five times the amount in value. Buy pure teas and fresh roasted coffee at C. C. Starr’s. We roast our own coffee as needed, consequently have no old, stale stock. Lafayette and Logansport are both disgruntled because the census count did not show up so large as they expected. Ten mtßion more people, judiciously destributed, would be required to satisfy all the ambitious towns in the country that are howling about the census returns. The best improved harvester and binder manufactured can be inspected at C. A. Roberts’ implement house, Rensselaer Ind. Come and see if I have not told the truth once, as you all know it is hard for implement men to do this. Yours. C. A.

A large force Of carpenters began , work on Emmet Kannal’s new residence Monday morning, the stone I basement of which is already com-! pleted Mr. Kannal has changed his plan and will erect a wooden house, instead of brick. Judging from the plan of the building, the house will be the largest and most elaborately constructed frame residence in the town, as well the,most costly. A man named Fred Cann was ar- •• . i rested at Milwaukee, Wis., last Saturday, for bigamy, and was taken to j Beloit, Wis., and will, it was stated, plead guilty to the charge. The case has a local interest from the fact that the second wife was Miss Kittie Hyland, of Pana. 111., but formerly of Rensselaer. The first wife, who caused the arrest, was married in Wichita, Kans., five years ago. The Presbyterian people are thinking pretty strongly of erecting a rcstdouemfortheir m imstcr,- a- 41 manse”, in the technical language of the or--1 gimlfcatioa. If the plan is carried out wo understand that Miss .Susan-Vam |Rensselaer, who is now- in -Europe, will donate the lot. in accordance Fwlth A- HVOfe't. .made by her- during ! her late vi*it to Rensselaer, offering ! to the church, as a free gift, their choice of any lot owned by her in the town as a site for the building. l i' , •••

Rev. McGuire will organise a class , i in vocal music next Tuesday evening, at the school building in Rensselaer. Four lessons each week will be given during the Normal. If a class of! twenty or more ca.ii be organized,, the tuition will be only one dollar | for the twenty lessons. This will be conducted for the benefit of the teachers anti all others interested. There should be fifty at least willing to join the class. The time is near at hand when the culture of the voice and teaching the rudiments of music will be required of every teacher in our public schools. Now is the time to begin Hie preparation, that you may not be found wanting.

John (J. Lewis, assessor of Barkley tp., has a row which needs dehorning, and needs it had. Mr. Lewis was,trying to corral a calf Monday, the progen}’ of the cow aforesaid, when the latter took a very active interest, in [the proceedings, and charging upon Mr. Lewis, she inflicted upon hint a very painful wound in the leg, tear- | ing loose, with her horn, an immense j section of the cuticle. 3lh Lewis i went backwards over the cow’s head, 'and before he had time to know how jit was done he fonnd himself on the other side of a high fence and left his dog to settle the controversy with the cow. He came ato. ee to town and Dr. Alter dressed his wound. It,is a ver}’ painful but not otherwise serious injury

F.. B. Learning, now of Goshen, this state, spent Sunday in Rensselaer, where his family are spending the summer. ;• Rev. Father Hahn, superintendent of ; the Indian School, accompanied 21 of his pupils to Chicago Monday, to start them on their way to their homes. Eighteen of the boys were Menominees from Wisconsin. There are 20 of the young Indians still remaining at the school, about 8 more of whom will soon go to their homes. It is not likely that man)' of those now going away will return to the school, as Farther Hahn is very desirous of securing a younger and more tractable class of pupils for next year.

Only one accident of any moment ! occurred at Rensselaer during the Fourth bf July celebration, and that was quite .serious* and might easily have been worse. Henry Jones, a boj' of about 17 years old, son of W. N. Jones, had driven the Makeover House hack to the depot to meet the 11:02 p. m. train, and was returning with the hack to the brick livery stable. When near Goff’s restaurant, Iwq 'young fellows on horse-baeky came riding around the corner from the livery stable, at a fearful rate, and before they could turn or check their horses, one of them ran, full tilt, into the hack. The horse the young man was riding, went down and over and over, but the rider was not hurt, so far as known. l r oung Jones, however, was thrown out of the hack, and the wheels ran over his head, and gave him two pretty bad cuts, while he was otherwise pretty badly shocked and bruised. Dr, Hartsell dressed his injuries, ans he is now pretty well on the way to recovery. The young fellows whose reprehensibly careless riding caused the accident, live somewhere east of town.

Dl*. Washburn, who is taking a special and high class course in surgery ii* Chicago, to get hold of the new methods which have totally rev- : olutionized that branch of the healing science during the last tweuty!five years, witnessed a remarkable ,surgical operation in one of the hospitals there, one day last week. The operation was bone-grafting, and itj had never before been attempted in this country, although it has been performed several times in Europe. A large section of the bone of a man’s leg* below the knee, was removed, being diseased, and in the place of 'the removed bone, was placed finely broken fragments of'tho bone of a

dog’s leg. taken from a living dog, while under the influence of chloroform. It is supposed that, if. the operation is successful, the broken fragments of the (log’s bone will unite, and form a new bone in the man’s leg. If the dog’s bone in the man’s leg should retain its native agility, it would be awkward for itl new owner, as it would be a bad running mate for the old, purely human, leg. It any case it is but reasonable to suppose that a man with a dog’s leg would be peculiarly subject to the accident of barking his shin.
