The work Jbegan Saturday Wd required the greater part of three days to finish. The last week’s issue of the Monon News forcibly illustrates the all-ab-sorbing interest taken in the court house matter, by the people of White county. Of eight columns of local news matter in the paper, seven of the columns were devoted to the court house trouble.

Some sneak thief abstracted the money box from Goff’s restaurant, Tuesday night. It contained a little ordinary current cash, and also a box containing quite a collection of old and curious coins, “shin plasters” Ac. The latter boxjwas found the next morning on the platform of the depot, by J. W. Douthit, with its contents evidently intact. The current cash had gone hence. The only crematory, or furnace for incinerating the dead, in this state, has just been built at the little village of Kouts, in Porter Co; a few miles north of the Kankakee river. A farmer of that vicinity is said to be the projector and proprietor of the crematory. It’s working capacity has been tested by the incineration of a cow. bodies of the dead is making considerable progress in public favor. The prolonged and steady activity of Hie gtdwtirof Rensstfiaer ■ is illus - trated by the remark of ai a few days ago, that this was successive year during which ~\ie could have had work at his trade every working day in the year, winter and summer, had he so desired. As it was he had lost only about a month a year, on the-aver-age, and that mostly through sickness. ’"' -

The railroads are kept iu good con - dition by men who are constantly on tkelookout for defects in the'roadbed, and this plan can be profitably an<| advantageously used on turnpikes and country roads. To repair a road only once a' year does not put it -in proper condition To have good roads they should be under the daily supervision of those who are employed to keep them ip order, Triennial ConcLave Knights Templars, begins next Tuesday, August 9th, at Denver, Colorado. Anyone wishing to attend the Conclave, or to make a western trip for any purpose, can do so at phenomenally low rates. The round trip from Rensselaer is only sl4. Tickets are now on sale, but will not te after next Sunday. Thoste desiring that long a time, will be given until October 11th to return. A sympathetic old citizen was heard a day or two ago, expressing sorrow because so many young men appeared to be suffering with green-apple colt ic. At least he thought they must be afflicted in that way because of the heavy bandages they wea# around their midges. The good, old man did not know that a freak of fashion two years old had just struck the young traveling men who come to Rensselaer, and a few of oar 4ocal society beans. ?

The house of William Dayton, a little south of Momence, was struck lightning Wednesday of last week, for the third time this season. This last stroke killed his father, Anson Dayton, a well known citizen. The old saying that “lightning never strikes twice in the same place” is as fallacious as most other old proverbs. In fact lightning has a tendency to strike again and again in the same locality . Probably owing to the atraction of ore beds of some kind, in the earth. ~

Fred Zagbanm, a tailor formerly located in Rensselaer, bat now in Monticello, recently received some of the “greenwoods” circulars* like The Republican has several times exposed, and went to New York and invested $450 in a box of what purported to be counterfeit money bat which, on opening later, was only worthless old papers, or something of of that character. Zugbaum is the fellow in whose shop the one or two mysterious (?) fires started while he was located here. The court house trouble in White Co., has caused a fresh outbreak of agitation of the removal of the county seat from Monticello. Chalmers is said to have offered a bonus of $75,000 for it; and Reynolds has had two public meetings, and is also in the field with a bonus. Reynolds is in almost the exact geographical center of the county, and is the intersecting point of two railroads which cross the county, one ea3t and west, the other 1 north and south. But in spite of Reynolds’ advantageous location, it is safe to say that the county seat be removed. All the advantages of the law are in favor of established county seats. Hon. Preston M. Querry, of Gill am tp., having sold a portion of his farm and moved into Medary ville, to engage in business, came down to Rensselaer Monday and resigned bis office as County Commissioner for the Ist district. Upon the two remaining commissioners and the county auditor devolved the duty of appoint4ngMr.Qnerry’s successor;and this they did by selecting Capt. Benj. R. Faris, of Gillam tp., a most excellent appointment. -Mr. Faria wilLaerve. jun- _ til iiis successor is elected, next November. Mr. Querry, the retiring commissioner,-has been a mo3t faithful, honorable and impartial <‘,ommis r . sioner. He is now associated in general mercantile, hay and grain business, in Medary ville, with. Jas. R. Guild, formerly, trustee of Gillam tp.

1 t -r- “ - - ..' The Montic-ello court house affair rounds up this week with the commissioners at the 'bat. Competent expei ts have decided that on account of old and defective foundation the new improvements contemplated would render the building unsafe and "f urther that the building as it now could he. put in good condi- ~ tion with but small expense. The injunction proceedings brought by the commissioners was heard by Judge Bviraon of Winsmac on Thursday, who informed the disputants that if he was required/iO give an immediate decision he would grant the injunction, but preferred to withhold his decision a few days so that he might look at thd authorities on theeubject. During the week the Democratic County Central Committee, and F. M. B. Lodge, and a largely attended public meeting at Reynolds, have all passed resolutions condoning Judge Reynold’s course. Judge Reynolds has published a cart! in which he claims to have had certain conferences with the commissioners upon the subject of a new court house, which they flatly deny over their signatures. The country officers who are liable to be in contempt of one court if they do, and in contempt of the other court if they don’t are winking and blinking like a toad under a hair dodging lightning, the editors are making faces at each other, the politicians are sparring for and the contractors have stow «d work. Now, in the language of Will Cumback to an investigating committee, this is the God’s truth of the whole business. —Delphi Citizen. ‘ <• v-\- - w
