ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The October term of the Circuit Court opened Monday. A very large a mount of record has been made, in the way of judgments on notes <fcc., by default. The divorce case of Hannah A. Emmons vs.,Peter Jr Emmons, was on trial yesterday afternoon. Eight ments have been found against Michael Halloran, and for which he has given bail. Mrs. M. E. Lecklider was in Chicago again, last week, buying more goods, which she invites the ladies to inspect. Also to call and examine the work of her competent and stylish trimmer. The production of the “Nevada, or the Lost Mine,” given at the Opera House, Saturday and Monday evenings, by the Rensselaer Dramatic Stock Company, was a very commendible performance, in all respects. In the cast of the play the different a ctors were chosen for their respectparts with rfire,skill, to each being given the part for which their personal characteristic especially fitted them. The scenery, also, was remarkably good, and being prepared especially for the occasion by Manager Phillips’ skillful hands, was exactly adapted to the needs of the play. The actors were well studied in all their parts, and, altogether it was a very meritorious performance, and well deserving of a far better patronage than it received, Dexter & Cox will sell you flour cheaper than any house in Rensselaer. Customers that woc« • $3.00 Kip Boot last year are coming back fur the same boot this year. L. Hopkins. The great Wakarusha Ditch is now practically |a settled fact. jThe joint session of the Jasper and White County boards of commissioners, at Monticello, last Thursday, took action which assures that end. The report of the preliminary viewers was accepted without change, and the second board of viewers was appointed. These consist of James C. Stockton, of White County; a'nd John E. Alter, of Jasper county, with surveyor James C. Thrawls as engineer. These last viewers must verify the former survey, stake off the ditch in 100 foot sections and assess all damages and benefits. They will probably begin their work next week, and as there are some eighty and odd miles of main ditch, laterals, &c., it is evident that they have a big jot) before them. This ditch, as we have heretofore explained, is being made under the ditch law of last winter, for ditches 5 miles or more in length, and its proceedings are much after the analogy of the more familiar gravel road law, and like that requires the issuance of county bonds, which may run for any series of years, not more than twenty, as the commissioners may determine, and are paid as they mature, by the owners of the lend benefitted. —Mrs. Lecklider lw a new line of ladies’ notions, also jewelry. We will announce to the public that we have added all kinds of coal to our business, we will sell as cheap as any body. Dexter & Cox.

Of Interest to Sunday Schools. The Twenty First District of the Indiana State Sunday School Unioncomprises the counties of Jasper, Newton and Benton. A circular letter has been sent me as president of this district, with a request that it be printed in all the papers of the above men tioned counties , The circular letter comes from the Executive Committee of the State Union. The outline of the work of the state is given which is twofold. It is desired that a Normal Training College be established. The expenses of this Training school are to be provided for by the Board of Regents. The collections from the schools of the county are not to be applied to the work of the college, but to the proper work of the Union as heretofore. The object of the college shall be the training of the Sunday School workers. It is clearly stated in the letter that the work of this School shall be separate and distinct from the Sunday School Union proper. 2 It Is hoped the work of Organization may be more vigorously prosecuted them heretofore. The District Superintendent is urged to insist that all the counties be organized. The presidents of the different counties are advised to keep up the county Unions and to see that proper reports of the same be forwarded to the Secretary of the State Union at Indianapolis. Now I desire to say that the Indiana State Sunday School Union in these counties will depend upon the local workers. lam willing to assist but the work, in the nature of the case will depend in large measure upon the different county officers. It certainly is a good work and one in which we can all most heartily unite. It is inter-denominational. It is in the interests of good society. It is missionary in spirit. Let us all unite to make the year ending with next Convention, June, 1892, the best we have ever witnessed. 1.1. Gorby, President of the 21st Dist. A look through J. Williams’ novelty furniture store will convince you that he has the largest and most complete stock of furniture ever in Rensselaer. The best $3.00 Kip Boot ever brought to Rensselaer. L. HopkiNS.

Mrs. Mackay’s famous portrait by Meissonier, which was once said to have been destroyed, hangs in her house in Carlton House terrace. Mrs. President Harrison continues her devotion to china painting, and has many beautiful specimens of her work in the executive mansion. Mrs. Oscar Wilde and Lady Hubbertpn are two of the noted Englishwomen who have adopted the divided skirt as a part of their everyday attire. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt has a fine figure, which she carries with much stateliness. Her eyes are dark blue and her hair is a ruddy, bronze brown. Mrs. Phebe Brown, of Lowell, Mass., eighty-eight years old, spins three skeins of fine yarn a day, lends a band in the housework, keeps the weeds out of the garden, and occasionally varies the monotony of existence by making a barrel of soft soap. Mrs. Flower, who has been honored by an election to the Chicago school board, is a Brooklyn woman and a sister of Dr. Elliott Cottes, the theosophist. She was educated at the Packer institute in Brooklyn, and taught for several years in the schools of Madison, Wis. Lady Caithness, Mme.

FOOTLIGHT FLASHES.

Francis Wilson has ordered a new comic opera from Richard Stahl, composer of “The Sea King.” Statistics show that 578 musicians, 271 artists and 169 actors came from foreign lands to America in 1890. Controversies over Beethoven’s ancestry have been set at rest by the discovery of a family history covering 250 years. “Ivanhoe” was the first grand opera that ever ran 100 nights in London; but it is a question if “Ivanhoe” was a financial success. . - • The leading actor of the Comedie Francaise, M. Mounet Sully, has announced that he will make an American tour in 1892-93. Tscharkowsky, the Russian composer, will bring a full Russian choir to America next season. A similar enterprise pace tailed in London. W. S. Gilbert, the famous writWgja cofnic opera librettos, was once a very good' lawyer. He was recently made a justice of the peace at Middlesex. ' Nat Goodwin has paid Augustus Thomas and Sidney Rosenfeld 85,000 in advance for a comedy they are writing for him, and will give them a large royalty besides. 'Emma V. Sheridan, late leading woman at the Boston Museum, will be succeeded in that position by Marie Burress, an actress chiefly known through her work with Frank Mayo. . , Two hundred and twenty-five thousand lire (more than $45,000) has been paid in royalties to Pietro Mascagni, composer of “Cavolierra Rusticana,” for its perform ance in Italy alone. The “clipping bureaus” get many queer orders, but few queerer than the one sent recently to the New York agency by Edward Remenyi, the violinist, who wanted all the obituaries of himself which were published when he was reported drowned on his way from India to South Africa. Remenyi wants to know all about the accident and what people sq&of him.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Stands at the head of all blood medicines. This position it has secured by its intrinsic merit, sustained by the opinion of leading and by the certificates of thousands who have successfully tested its remedial worth. No other medicine so effectually CURES Scrofula, boils, pimples, catarrh, and all other blood diseases. - “ There can be no question as to the superiority of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla over all other blood-purifiers. If this was not the case, the demand for It, instead of increasing would have ceased long ago, like so many other blood medicines I could name.”— F. L. Nickerson, Druggist, 75 Chelsea Charlestown, Mass. “Two years ago I was troubled with sa*rheum. It was all over my body, and noftlog the doctors did lor me was of aqy avail At last I took four bottles of Ayerta Sarsaparilla, and was completely cure& I can sincerely recommend it as a splendid blood-purifier.”—J. S. Burt, Upper New Brunswick. ..—. “My sister was afflicted with a sewn case of f SCROFULA Our doctor recommended Ayer’s Sarsaparfflß as being the best blood blood-purifier withia his experience. We gave her this medicine, and a complete cure was the result.”— "Wm. O. Jenkins, Deweese, Neb. “ When a boy I was troubled with a bloofl disease which manifested itself in sores oa the legs. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla being recommended, I took a number of bottles, and was cured.
