The gnat fusion rally of tost Thursday, was not so very great, after all, The crowd present would be largely estimated. If ptooed at 2,500. About half of these were made of residents of Rensselaer and its immediate violnity, who attended, purely from curiosity. Of the remainder, much more than half was made up of Democrats. The parade was very slim. Indeed* The wagons were hugely filled up with small children and the older people were often obaerved having great trouble in keeping the little shaven in mind of the faot that they bad to hooray for Weavsr on that day, instead of for Cleveland, as they were tocostomeri to do at home.

Joseph Nottingham and wife, and a young man named Robert Ray, were arrested at Kankakee, HL charged with murdering a man named Wm. Shannon, lately foend dead in the basement of Nottingham’s house. The Nottinghams lived at Thayer, Newton Co., some time back, and young Ray, is a son of Squire Ray, swell known and most estimable citizen of Rose Lawn. Some bogy money was found on Shannon's body, and the ‘fact that Nottingham had previously been arrested on the charge of counterfeiting had led to the belief that he and Shannon were partners In counterfeiting, and that Shannon was hilled because of trouble over dividing the •poll..

ber 21st, being the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the western continent, was well celebrated throughout Jasper county. In Rensselaer the forenoon exercises consisted mainly in the raising of a fine Bby 14 foot flag, over the school house, which will, hereafter, float whenever the school is in session. In the afternoon Ml the country schools in Marion tp., together with Saylerville, Thornton and No. 8 of Newton tp., came to town and joine with the Rensselaer schools, for the celebration. These all formed at the school house and inarched, with banners and music, to the public square. They*, were escorted by a detachment of old soldiers, of the G. A. R. and others. The members of St. Joseph’s Normal Indian School and of St. Joseph’s College, also marched over and attended the celebration in a body, and the Indian boys sang several-patriotic songs. The exercises consisted of the delivery of the “Four Centuries” by Willie Parkison and Pearl Blue; the ode Colombia’s Banner, by Nora Landis, and |jiort addresses by Dr. I B. Washburn and Mr. L. E. Glazebrook. All being interpersed by a number of appropriate songs. The general public attended the exercises very largely. Monet to Loan. —ss,ooo to loan at 8 and 10 per cent, for the next ten days.

John Guest, formerly Of Jordan tp., this county, is now located in the province of Aseiniboia, Canada, about 25 miles from Yorkton, which is his post-offloe. He writes to The Republican that the soil consists of a soft monldy black substance some what mixed with gravel. The subsoil consist* of a lime stone clay. Tbe surface is gently roUeg, covered with a soft nutritious grass; hay in abundance. There saw also small patches of willow resembling hazel brash here and there also there are small groves of poplar. The climate is just about the same as Indiana at present. Stock looks well. Good 1 water is found at a depth of 20 feet on an average at Yorkton, while at his place tire depth is unknown because there ia’nt any bored wells. Grain market not yet fixed for this ljj>r.

Bear in mind that Mrs. Lecklider’s is the place to get bargains in latest style hats. Last Friday afternoon on the 10:47 a. m . train was the expected time for the arrival of Mr. J. F. Hemphill, and his new bride, nee Miss Jennie Wolfe. Mr. E. P. Honan, Mr. Hemphill’s partner and brother-in-law, thought the time propitious for evening up various old soores, and he accordingly devised a unique reoeptton for tiie bridal oouple, and in which preparations he was especially aided and abetted by Judge Sylvester Healy and Fred Phillips. Among them they devised a curious bridal cavalcade which repaired to the depot to meet the bridal oouple. Its principal features were the band wagon, filled with players on all aorta of in. straments. Than oame the bridal carriage, which was drawn by a mammoth slab-sided horse hitched beside a very small and dingy donkey. These with two other conveyances made up the prooeasion, which, as before stated, repaired to the de-‘ pot to reoetve and convey home the bridal oouple. It happened how-

ever, that a friend of the oouple had thought It would be a good idea to turn the Joke upon the Jokers, and had telegraphed to Mr. Hemphill not to come until the next train, and the prooeasion filed back down town, with its members muoh crest-fallen. They regained their courage by evening however and when the milk train arrived they were again at the station, and capturing the bridal couple as soon as they got off the oars, they hustled them into their oarrlaae and the Dro cession conveyed them to their home, by the down town way.

Jaer last Tuesday, was by ailoads and beyond all question, the biggest and best political demonstration ever held in Jasper county. Governor Chase, *who was present, pronounced it the finest demonstration that had greeted him anywhere in the whole state/daring the present campaign, and that is saying a great deal for a county of each comparatively small population as oars. Inasmuch as full Information of the occasion has already been carried into every portion of the county, by those who were present, it is unneo* essary to make, so full and complete • report as might otherwise seem essential.

The day was unfavorable, being oold and raw, and in the morning when people would be making preparations to attend, it was raining and very threatning. These facts kept many thousands away who would otherwise have come, especially from neighboring oounties and the remoter portions of our own oounty. To! show the extent with which the bad | weither operated to prevent attendance the single foot that It is reliably stated that at least 25 vehicles turned book after they had readied Remington Is sufficient

The artillery battery, consisting of 1 two big cannons, which had seen amvice in the great war, one of tnem e captured Confederate gun, arrived Monday afternoon, from Montioello. They were drawn overland, by I teams, and were manned by 15 old 1 i soldiers, 14 Of whom ere Republicans I and 1 a Democrat, bat who will vote for Harrison. '** • By 10 o'clock the town was swarm-' tng with people. The competing del-' egatlous were halted at the designated I pieces, and properly counted, after I which, owing to the inclement weather, many vehicles left the lines and did not take part In the grand par ade. This began about 15 minutes

his aids, the procession passed rapidly along Washington street, but was almoatif not quite, a fall honr in passing a given point, Its length was folly three miles, , All the delegations had fri>m one to six decorated wagons, drawn by 4, 6 or 8 horses, and all had flags and banners mid striking devices, without number. Hanging Grove was the first delegating hi tin procession, and it took the prize for the largest delegation in proportion to Republican voters from any precinct adjoining Marion. Every Republicnn voter in the township was present except one who was to old and feeble to corner There were were about 50 vehicles In We delegation, including several large and beautifully decorated ones. School district No. 4, from Marion passed next, and took the flag for the finest delegation from any school district from Marion tp. It was a large and handsome display. Carpenter’s great and gorgeous cavalcade next filed past, There were 119 vehicles and over 500 people, and 200 horses in this delegation. It took the first prize, 2 drums and “a fife for the largest and best delegation, and crowded Union dose fdr fineness and novelty of decorations and devices. Barkley made a grand display, good in all its features, although not qnite good enough in any one particular to win any prize. Two eight horse wagons were among the features of this delegation. Banners, mottoes and devices, in endless profusion. Gillam township also made a magnificent display, dispite of its remotenew. This is the township where the fusion orators have been saying there are not enough Republican voters left “to scald a hog,” but it took the prize for the biggest delegation from a precinct not adjoining Marion, in proportion to its Republican vote in 1890. The township will make an even better Republican showing in

November. Newton township, as always, showed up with a splendid delegation. It was of grand proportions and beautifully decorated, showing also many very fine devices, serious and satirical. Union township, one of the alleged strongholds of fusionism, fairly outdid itself. Its delegation was astonishing in its magnitude, and surpassed expectation in the variety, end ingenuity of its deeorations. It took the Sag for the best decorated delegation,and stalwart Barney Comer, when he received it on behalf of the delegation said they would give a reward for the discov ery of any Republican of the township who was not present at die rally. There is no place on mis earth where Republicans are more earnest and enthusiastic than in U nion tp., and no place where the misguided ones are coming back any faster into the old ranks. Reisselaer made a creditable display, with costumed horse-back riders, a big wagon showing that “McKinley Tin Is sure to win’* and a big omnibus loaded with old men who “voted for Harrison In forty” and numerous other features. There were eleven bands of music in the procession. The Remington, Rensselaer, Qiihun, Fores man and Hogan brass bands, the Montioello Dram Corps, and dram corps and martial bands from Hanging Grove, Union, Barkley, and one or two others whose locality we did not learn.

The magnitude of the crowd is | variously estimated, but if ever there were 10,000 people In Rensselaer at one time, It wee on this occasion, fori there wee never so large a crowd in the town baton. When the speak-1 ing was going on, for instance, ail I the seats were Oiled and all the peopie standing about who could get in hearing, the oourt room also was peck-1 I ed, and also every store or business room in which there wss a Ore, yet I besides all these, Washington street from the po3t-ofUce to the bridge was I almost a solid mass of people.
