ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The hard tame social which was to have been given last evening at Robt. Randle’s, has been postponed until Monday evening, and will be held at E. P. Honan's. ' Call at Mrs. Lecklider’S and see her fine pattern hats, during opening days. May 3,4, 5 and 6th. No old stock or old style carpets at Williams’. The movement to establish a cannery at this place, mentioned several weeks ago, is still hanging fire, but is liable to go off unexpectedly, at most any minute, and then again it may fall Through entirely, for this season. The latter catastrophe is the last thing that ought to be allowed to happen, however, for a large and well managed canning establishment is exactly what this region needs.

Warner and Shead, the new grocery firm. Give them a trial. Rugs discounted on opening days at Mrs. Leeklider’s. Arcouple of tramps whom Night WatchMcColly bad run out Of town Tuesday night, afterwards tried to hold up and rob the young Indian who works for Superintendent Hardy, at the poor farm, but he outran them. They dropped a good hatchet, which they had probably “swiped” some place about town, when Mr. M eColly got after them pretty close, and with which they probably intendto break into some building. Mr. McColly pickedup the hatchet, and still has it. R. G,. Ingersoll: IJere is a shoe shop. One man in the shop is always busy through the day, always industrious. In the evening he goes courting some nice girl. There are five other men in the shop that don’t do any such thing. They spend half of their wages evenings in dissipation. Tho first man by and by gets a boot and shoe store of his own. Then he marries the girl. Soon he is able to take his wife out riding of an evening. The five laborers, his former companions, who see him indulging in this luxury, retire to the neighboring saloon and pass resolutions that there is an eternal struggle between labor and capital. The reason Porter & Wishard sell so fnany carpets is because people like to buy where the}’ can get the best bargains. Estey organs and pianos, and Estey & Camp organs aDd pianos, on exhibition at C. B. Steward’s. The graduating class of the Rensselaer high school is only eight in number, this year, four girls and four boys, or, as the dignity of their grave seniorhood more properly requires, four young ladies and four young gentlemen. Their names are Effie Cow den, Flora Harris, Maude Irwin, Daisy Warner, Bennie Coen, Frank Hoover, Chase Kelley and Fred Tyler,They arc studious and promising young people, and will be well deserving of any honors commencement day may have in store for them. The special honors of the class have not yet been awarded, but Miss Cowden and Mr. Kelley are said to be running a pretty close race for the first place, and Mr. Coen is not far behind them. Call and see Williams’ $6 pillar tables, _l W -

Ten different makes of Sewing machines, At Steward’s. Bargains in HATS, Wednesdays and Saturdays, at Mrs. Lecklider’s. Monday night was a notable occasion itt the history of the local Women’s Relief Corps and the G. A. R. post. It was regular meeting night of the Corps and the members adroitly turned the meeting into a surprise party in honor of Mrs. Julia Healey, one of their most honored members, who is about to leave Rensselaer, to make her home in Missouri. The

ladies had just got their surprise in good running order, and were congratulating themselves upon its success, when they themselves were made the objects of a much more thorough surprise. The mumbers of the post, loaded with additional refreshments, and many of them in queer disguises, suddenly invaded the room and* captured the feminine garrison wtthont striking a blow. A general good time followed. Among the if old boys” who were most effectually disguised were W. W. Reeve and Charley Platt, each of wbiom was dressed in female garb.

Although the world’s fair was formally opened to the public last Monday, intended visitors will find it to their advantage to wait a tew weeks, if possible, before they begin their visit, Owing to the bad weather and other causes, many of the exhibits are in a very unprepared condition, andmany of the walks about the grounds, also. There is of course, a vast deal 4o”see~rtiierr riowr-aad .persons who have to go now or not at all had better go now, but a visit two or three weeks later will be vastly more pleasant and satisfactory. .• What is electricity? is a question that has never been comprehensively answered and the quality of the; material or force that now lights the streets and abiding places of the denizens of Rensselaer and of the civilized world, is unknown. A writer

says electricity is simply the motion of the molecules of the different substances which are the subjects of electrical action, just as beat, light and sound are, and the only difference between these forces is the rate of the motion. The motion of sound, as we all know, is comparatively slow; that of heat and light are very rapid. That of electricity would be somewhere between the slow motion of sound, and the rapid motion of the heat. The wonderful adaptability which electricity shows for every kind of work is due entirely to the position which its rate of motion occupies in the scale of energies. It would also appear that the reason this agent lay dormant for so many ages, and now is only partially developed, is because we have no sense which comprehends electrical vibrations.

Another Aged Man Drops Dead.

Tuesday afternoon, about four o’clock, the venerable Rial Benjamin, one of Jasper county’s oldest, best known and best esteemed citizens fell unconscious to the floor, at the home of his son, Rial P. Benjamin, and expired almost immediately. He had long been in very feeble health, but had been up and about all of the day, and in the forenoon had walked to the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. T. Randle. He had complained all day of severe pains in his chest, and had frequent applications of liniment,and other remedies,but without any relief. Just at the time of his death there was no one about the house except his son, who had been doing work in his garden. He desisted from this work at his father’s special request. Philander had finished his work and stepped upon his back porch, when his father came out and requested his son to come inside as he wished to speak with him, seeming strangely anxious about the matter. Philander promised to come iff at once and his father re-entered the house, shutting the door. Not to exceed two minutes later Philander entered the house and found his father unconscious upon the floor. He gasped a little for a few minutes, but never regained consciousness. His age was 83 years, 4 months, 25 days. He had lived in Jasper county since 1840. His wife died seven weeks before, to a day, and just as suddenly, and at nearly the same age. Tlie'funeral was held yesterday af-ternoon,-at the M. E. church.

County Board of Education.

The County Board of Education met Monday t as the law requires. All the members were present except the representative of the Remington School Board. The most important action taken was directing the County Superintendent to prepare a manual for the use of the schools of the county. The manual prepared by a state committee, last year, has not been found to answer all the needs of the schools, and the county manual will be, in a measure, supplementary, to the state manual.

The question of a uniform time of opening the county schools of the county, at the beginning of the school year, was discussed, but the plan was decided impractical, because some townships have so much longer terms of school than others. The enumerations of children of chool ages was reported.

CORRESPONDENCE.

FROM WHEAT FIELD. j Fanners have become discouragedLast Monday was a legal holiday, everybody have given up their busin«ss to prepare for the World’s fair, Guy Clark is on the sick list. Mr. Hoehn’s new meat market is near completion. Mr. Hoehn will be ready for business about June Ist. Measels have visited our town and vicinity lately. Miss Rosa Grube and Mr. Tom Maloney will close their schools next Thursday. Mr. Langdon has sold his residence and comtemplates building another soon. Mr. Bentley is erecting a small residence in west part™df town for rent. FROM DeMOTTE. Rain and mud seems to be the order of the day and is a great hinderance to farmers who intend having early crops. Misses Lizzie and Mary Burns are home from Chicago, visiting their parents. John Decker has been quite low with lung fever, from which he is now slowly "recovering. Our Holland brethren intend building a church, in the near future. They have not decided where to locate it, but think some of getting a lot of Mrs. E. M. Fairchild. There is some talk of a millinery store being located here and occupied by two young ladies from Medaryville. Mr. Samp Erwin met with quite a serious accident last Saturday. He had driven a span of young colts to Rose Lawn, to meet his daughter, Miss Anna, and had got very near home when the colts started to run and threw them both out of the buggy, dislocating Mr. Erwin’s shoulder and bis arm at the elbow, and otherwise injuring him, but not seriously. The young lady escaped without getting hurt- Mr. Erwin was getting along nicely at last reports. Preaching every Sunday evening at the M. E. church, also Sabbajth School every Sunday morning. X. Y.

REMINGTON ITEMS\ Mr. Allison took possession of his new home lately purchased of H. Dal zell, last Monday. Mr. Dalzell and' family have taken temporary quarters in the old school house until their property on the hill is vacated by the present tenants. We understand that Mr. and Mrs. Benhart Leopold will soon take up their abode in Wolcott, where Mr. Leopold will go into business. The regular service at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening, gave place to the Christian Endeavor, the services being in the form of a missionary entertainment, consisting of appropriate songs, recitations and interesting items from the different missionary fields. During the short time that Elder Carson, of the Christian church has officiated here, nine persons have received the rite of baptism by immersion. The election passed off quietly and and without any excitement last Monday. The following officers were elected: Marshal, L D.. Luekey; Clerk and Treasurer, C. H. Peck; Councilmen, second ward, C. T. Denham; third ward, Wm. Shepherd; fourth ward, Levi Hawkins.

The programmes for the commencement next Friday are just as handsome as they can be, the motto being specially beautiful and appropriate, “Thus endeth the first lesson.” The names of the graduates given in the order in which they come in the programme are as follows: Marguerite Reed, Minnie Florence' Walker, Dorthea May, Effie Isabel Roberts, Grace Gertrude Guy, Mary Estella Beal, Clara Mabel Bloom and Alice May Curtis. Rev. DeLong in his sermon said he blushed for his sex when he thought that not one boy completed the course of study. The girls are coming to the front and this is a class of which their faithful instructors may well feel proud.

Those who braved the elements last Sunday morning, and attended the services at the Methodist church felt repaid. The entire service was one of the most impressive ever held in Remington At the sounding of the first note of the voluntary, the young ladies who will graduate on Friday evening, walked into the audience room of the church preceded by Supt. A. H. Belden and Principal W. R. Murpby. v The baccalaureate sermon, delivered by Rev. A. H.

DeLoug, (by special request) was one of the best we ever had the pleasure of listening to, the text being “And Our Daughters shall be as corner stones polished after similitude of a palace.” In this connection it may be proper to mention the music. The The choir of the Methodist church has more than local fame, comparing very favorably with those of on large cities, and on this occasion they were folly up to what was expected

of them. Taken throughout it was o beautiful and impressive service. By private letter from Prof. J. C. Dickerson and wife, we learn that after mature deliberation and much thought Mr. Dickerson has concluded to accept the snperintendency of the Goodland schools that had been offered to him at the same salary that Remington was to give. There is no doubt that under existing circumstances the position will be pleasanter for Mr. Dickerson and family, but all the same Remington bates to give them np. We congratulate onr neighboring town on having secured the services of so competent a superintendent. Remington! an.
