A White County Farmer’s Visit to the Rensselaer Creamery—-Its Unquestioned Benefits to the Farmer.

S. T. Virden, in Monticello Herald. “ F visited the Rensselaer creamery last week. One only has to see the creamery in operation and talk with the stockholders and patrons to be thoroughly convinced that it is a grand thing. Not &’ word of complaint against it except from some of the townspeople who grumble about the raise in the price of butter at the grocery stores. The stores can not get enough farmers’ butter to supply their trade. A year ago they had more than they knew what to do with. Nearly all the farmers now take their milk to the creamery. It was hinted around that some of the stores were quietly shipping in oleomargarine from Chicago. Country butter at the stores was selling at 15 to 18 cents, while the creamery sold all they could make at 25 cents at the factory. The farmers realized $1.04 per hundred for their milk during the month of January, and received back the separated milk. A gallon of milk weighs about 8| lbs so that it is worth about 9 cents. The average daily receipt is about 5,000 lbs. The company at present has only one separator of small size, but their business is increasing and will be -so much greater when spring opens, that they will soon exchange this for two of large size. Farmers at a distance only bring or send in their milk every other day in cold weather. The common expression was, “my wife never did better with the milk before.” The price of cows has raised from $5 to $lO. Contrary to the experience of Monticello, the capital stock of the company was raised too quick, so that it was not distributed among a large number of shareholders. f ! Flower pots all sizes at cost, at J. H. Willey <fc Sons’.

A Rare Opportunity

To procure fur Caps, Overcoats, factory Flannels, Blankets, Yarns, Underwear, all winter clothing, 4c, Ac, at prices that will take your eye, ho,.wever “hard up” you may be.

The Chicago Bargain Store has just been fitted out with a system of cash carriers, those ingenious devices of many forms so common, in the stores of the large cities, in which the money paid by the customer is carried by a rapidly running automatic arrangement to the cashier’s desh, in the central part of the store, and the right change sent back-wlmre it belongs, at an equally rapid rate. Mr. Forsythe himself is the inventor of the particular form of cash carrier he is using, but it evidently ; works as well as any and will be a great convenience. The 20 feet model of Pennington’s air ship, described at some length in this paper several weeks ago, is now in the Exposition building, at Chicago, on exhibition. In the still air of that building the model is able to float and to move about at the will of an engineer who directs its course and supplies motive power, through an electric wire. It does not appear, however, that the machine as yet, does anything that other machiius have not done before, nor do any new principles appear to have been developed; Nothing more is heard of the big ship, 250 feet long, which was to have sailed into Chicago from Mt. Carmel, in January, and there is but little doubt but that the statement was a fake, and that the whole affair is very much of a humbug. Crown Point Star: Hammond is trying hard to get the county seat moved, and if they do we shall all go along with it. When they see our caravan of old retired capitalists. with their rusty clothing, our herd of hungry attorneys, too sly for the Hammond dudes, our corps of invalid farmers, each with one of our smoky old street lamps and a section of our artesian well hole on their shoulders, our politicians, newspapers, preachers, insurance agents, etc., then they will begin to realize that they have manured the wrong garden. Gentlemen, just as sure as the ship sails we shall get on board, and if Hammond is not hoodoed from that day on, all signs will fail. We are stayers, but never strike oil. Of course we will bring the TEtna Iron works with us. Mrs. Patrick Condon and family, from over between Monon and Francesville, are recent additions to the residents of Rensselaer. Mrs. Condon’s husband is the man who committed suicide, a few weeks ago, by shooting through the head. It. appears that some years ago he had married a female Salvationist, at Crawfordsville, and had left her very shortly thereafter and later, without procuring a divorce, had married the lady who is above referred to. A short time prior to his tragical death, a man appeared who knew of the circumstances of his former marriage and had sought to blackmail Condon out of about all his property by threatening arrest for the bigamous marriage. These matters so preyed upon his mind as to lead to the act of suicide. ~ At the late re-union of the flighting 48th, at Mishawaha, Lieut. E. P. Stanfield of South Bend, related the following reminiscense: “Speaking of pup tents reminds me of a story which is told with great gusto by Clark Mcßride. One >night one of these tents, occupied by Frank Chilcote and oth era, caught fire. The fire had got such a start before being discovered 1»y the inmates that there was no time to think of putting it out or saving anything. It was simply a question of fight or hem. The tent was well pinned down. All had got out except Capt Chilcote. Probably he was a sounder sleeper than the others. However he arose and straightened himself with such force that his head went through the top and after a tremendous tug the tent pulled up and he went sailing down the regimental front enveloped from his neck down with the burning canvas. He would stop once in a while and endeavor to shed it, but the heat and smoke would start him again on his firy course. The flames and sparks making a well developed tail, rounded out his comet like appearance, but unlike the comet he had no regular orbit. His movement through space,was decidedly eccentric. The armied camp was so paralyzed with laughing at tbe figure he cut that the boys could hardly catch and release him soon enough to save his hair and whiskers. He lost some and I notice that some of his hair is still gone.
