RENSSELAER, JASPER COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JUNE 4,1893,

Hiram Day, whose sir-name is Hustler, is building still another house, on his lets on Weston street, south of Wahington. i Carpets sewed at Williams’, 3 cents a yard. Mr. French, purchaser of the Leroy Sayers property, corner of Cullen and Rutson streets, will build a good residence there, this season. The Ladies Literary Society at their last meeting, adjourned for a vaca-, tion until the first of October. Mrs. C. W. Coen, President. Rev. Weaver has been seriously sick this week, but his many friends will be glad to learn that he is much improved in health, and will be able to be up soon. His sickness was nervous prostration, caused from over work.—Wolcott Enterprise. C. A. Dean was back from Washington, 111., seveal days last week, having come in company with a party of seven men from his locality, who were looking for land. It is probable that a part of them, at least will invest in farms in this vicinity.

B. F. Ferguson will make you an abstract of your real estate for as little money as any one. Young Peoples Chistian Endeavor annual convention for the district composed of the counties of Jasper, Newton, Lake, Porter and Starke will be held at this place on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. These conventions are quite important gatherings. “Gloria water” cures salt-rheum on the hands rendering them soft and white. For sale by Mrs. M. J. Winegarden ! A good many people wended their way to the depot last Sunday afternoon intending to take the 4 o’clock train for Chicago. They then learned of the change in time and that their only chance for Chicago until the next morning was to take the 7 ;55 train and be landed in the sinful city at about 11 o’clock at night. Double-breasted suits in summer weights are very popular this year. We are showing a beautiful line of which you should avail yourselves. R. Fendig.

The several church and religious organizations that are threatening to boycott the World’s Fair if it is opened on Sunday are antagonizing the common herd and thereby doing the cause "of Christianity an irreparable injury. Boycotting is an unrighteous principle and the world is taking cognizance of the attempt to accomplish an object by force that ought to be treated with prayerful consideration. —Rochester RepublicanOhio produces men large of statue as well as large of brain. Four Ohio born men, all natives of Darke county, happened to meet together in Rensselaer, the other day, and compared their respective heights. Uncle Simon Phillips was one, his height is 6 feet 2 5 inches. Dennis Gleason, the horse-buyer, was another, his height is just the same as Uncle Simon’s. Wils Porter, the third man, measures up 6 feet | inch. Mr. Banta, the nursery agent was the' fourth man. He is an even G feet.

M. Mr. John N. Chapman, of Chicago, National President of the B. Y. P. N. will be present at the evening session and address the people. All are cordially invited to attend. L • 0. Steining, Secretary.

The much talked of change in the Monon’s time table went into effect last Sunday. The changes are much more obvious than the benefits. In fact Rensselaer is considerably the worse for the change. There is one more train each way every day, but the number that stop at this station is less than it was before. The only

trains that now stop here are, going south, the 10:53 a. m. mail, the milk train at 6:23 p.m. and the passenger at 10:37 p. m. Going north, the morning mail at 5:46 a.m., the milk train at 7:37 a. m. and the afternoon mail train, now deferred until 7:55 p. m. Besides these are two trains each way, which do not stop at all.

Fred Coen, an /alumnus of the Rensselaer high school, came back to see his brother Ben, graduate. Fred is now assistant cashier in a bank at Vermilion, Ohio. For Rent—House and barn. Enquire of Wm. Cotton. Thos. Cummings, a big darky tramp, is serving a 15 days sentence in the “workus,” for plain drunk. He was sent from Remington. B. F.:Ferguson will sell you Building and Loan stock. Williams is selling carpets cheaper than any house in town.Dr J. W. McClure, of Memphis Tenn., who is here trying to organize a class in a lightning calculating system, will give a free lecture and entertainment, at the court house tonight, and which is said to be very interesting and instructive. The doctor is a notable individual from a physical stand point, being 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing 310 pounds.

Have you seen that beautiful line of children’s suits, handsome jerseys, pretty three piece suits, nobby double breasted. Call in and inspect them. R. Fendig. An eleven year old son of Mel Garriott, near Blackford, was kicked in the head by a horse, on Tuesday afternoon, of last week. His skull was f ractured and some of the brain substance was exuded. Dr. Alter, who is treating the case, reports that the boy is doing excellently, and likely to recover. Are you going to the World’s Fair? If so, you should procure one of our nobby spring suits. The latest styles and colors. R. Fendig. Valparaiso Vid etteDevelopments in the Hebron bank failure show about $25,000 in liabilities, while the sissets amounts to $16,000. This makes possible a settlement at about 60 cents on the dollar. All of President D wiggins ’ property in Lake and Porter counties is being covered by attachments as fast as found, and local investors expect to be paid out dollar for dollar. See the new and large line of fine baby carriages, at Williams’. Lowell Tribune:—At a meeting of the dispositors of the Commercial Bank, last evening, it was decided to elect two trustees and release the receiver as soon as possible. It is figured and is thought the dispositors will realize thirty two cents on the dollar on the money and notes now on hand, and from the securities offered the depositors will probably receive the balance of their deposits or nearly so. The best of workmanship mid fabrics, combined with style and make up has been an aim in selecting our spring and summer line of clothing. Call in and inspect them. R. Fendig.

Ex-Rev. Fred Pettit was yesterday interviewed in the prison North, and he appeared to be quite cheerful and said that he felt confident that the Supreme Court would grant him a new trial. The story that he has been suffering with hemorrhages of the lungs is purely fiction. He has not had a hemorrhage since he entered the prison gate and, aside fiom being somewhat emaciated from his confinement, is looking well. He praised the prison officials, and said they made life for him as pleasant as possible under the circumstances.— LaFayette Sunday Times.

The cause of Porter & Wishard’s renormous shoe trade is because they sell the Henderson and give satisfaction. ( The president has appointed John M. Turner, postmaster at Monticello. Gustav Lowe was the man recomended by Congressman Hammond, but he was passed over. Turner was the man voted for at the late popular election in Monticello. This action on the part of the administration in ignoring Mr Hammond’s recommendation is likely to give that gentleman a good deal of trouble. The democratic voters in other towns in the district will be sure to imitate their Monticello brethren by hold-, ing elections for postmaster, regardless of what may be Mr. Hammond’s wishes in the case. A movement for such an election is already on foot among Delphi Democrats.

Joe Hardman moved into his bandsome now'house, on Cullen street, yesterday. The sale of marriage licenses took a sudden boom at the clerk’s last week, and curiously enough, in the first three sold, the grooms were all named Cooper. Mt. Ayr people observed Memorial Day in good form. Capt. Cbilcote, of Rensselaer, was the . principal orator of the occasion. "A" word to the wise is suflie ient We bought our carpets of the manu facturers, paid cash, got discount saved jobbers profits, and give oui patrons the benefit. Porter & Wishard. Mr. Allen R. Spalding, of Lafayette, and Miss Anna Weathers, eldest daughter of Mrs. C. G. Weathers, were married at the home of the lat- , ter, Monday evening, by Rev. J. C. Rhodes. The groom is an engineer on the Big Four R. R. and was a widower, the bride having been his house keeper for some years. Marriage licenses issued since last reported. j. J John D.

Wanted—Ladies to assist me in selling the famous “Gloria Water,” for the complexion. Terms liberal. Address Mrs. Mary H. Watson Pleasant Ridge, Ind. Manager branch office. The family of Rev. J. C. Rhoades is having more than a full share of trouble this week. Mrs. Rhoades is sick with a severe case of the measles, and their two-year-old girl is suffering from a fall from an upstairs window, received Tuesday forenoon. The little girl is considerably brusied and hurt, but, not nearly so seriously as might be expected from the extent of the fall. The Monon’s early morning train out of Indianapolis, was wrecked.at Broad Ripple, Monday morning, and the engineer, George Plant was killed. The fireman, Clinton Williams, was severaly but not dangerously hurt. The accident was caused by a horse.on the track. Mr. Plant was one of the oldest and best engineers on the Monon. The reason Porter <fc Wishard sell so many carpets is because people like to buy where they can get the best bargains. A good lodge of Knights of Pythias was organized at Medaryville, last Monday night. A “team” from the Rensselaer lodge performed the initiation work in the second and and third ranks; and Wheatfield lodge in the first rank. Thirty-two members were initiated. The name of the new lodge is Medaryville lodge No. 392. Some 16 or- 18 members of the Rensselaer lodge were present and report a very pleasant time, and free-handed hospitality upon the part of the Medaryville br'ethren. B. F. Ferguson will be pleased to show you The Mosely Folding Bath Tub. Now in his office.

Memorial Day was very creditably observed in Rensselaer Tuesday, as always when the weather will permit. At 2 o’clock a pd'cession was formed at the court house, under the direction of Capt- J. A. Burnham, Chief Marshal and Assistant Marshals J. B. Neal and W. II • Gwin, and marched to Weston Cemetery. The procession consisted of the band, Sunday Schools, Fire Company in uniforms, Uniform Rank, K. of P., in uniforms, Women’s Relief Corps, Rensselaer Post,

G. A. R., citizens in carriages, and on foot At the cemetery the exercises consisted of the appointed ritual of the G. A. R., several apropriate songs and an address by Capt. R. W. Marhall. The attendance was large, including many from the surrounding country. The town was appropriately decorated by flags and bunting.

OUT OF THE HARBOR

INTO THE SEA.” Is Now the Class of ’93. The class of ’93 graduated with all honors, at the opera house, last Thursday night. In spite of the fact that an admission fee was charged, the building was filled to the limit of its seating capacity. A very excellent effect resulting from the charge of an admission fee was that there was SUehtire absence of the element which has almost always, heretofore, made a vast amount of disorder at Commencement exercises. In this case the most perfect order prevailed, from beginning to end. The graduates were eight in number, feur boys and four girls. Bright and promising young people, whose very creditable performances, Thursday evening, proved that the class of ’93 averages well with all former classes in intellectual ability and extent of mental developement. After a brief opening prayer by Rev. B. E. Utz, and a solo by Dr. Brown, Miss Effie Cowden gave her essay upon the rather odd subject “Black the 'Heels of your Boots.” The idea of the writer was to show that people devote too much attention to matters which show the most prominently and neglect others which are of less apparent prominence, but which have a really greater effect in moulding the character of the persons. or in winning the respect and confidence of others. Frederick S- Tyler treated of the “Unity of Nations.” He showed how much progress the enlightened nations of the world have already made towards unity and harmony of sentiments * and how much still remained to do before the sublime vision of the poet could be realized: “When the liattle flags were furled In the I’artliament of man, the federation of the world.” “Weaving a Life” was the title of Miss Flora Harris’well written essay. As its title indicates, the essay showed how the daily acts, thoughts and wishes of each individual were woven and combined together to form each person’s history and character. Another rather strange sounding subject was “Mother’s Apron Strings” chosen by Chase Kelley. He 2 showed what a wise and true and ever faithfill friend and courseljor the mother always is, and how well and wisely the young man chooses who loves, honors and obeys his mother ; and what harm comes to so many youths from allowing themselves to be turned away from that guiding star, by the foolish pride which fears to be accused of being “tied to mother’s apron strings.” Miss Maude Irwin choose the modern and practical subject, “The World’s Fair” for her essay. The wonderful scope, beauty, success and probable far reaching influence of that crowning achievement of Ninteenth Century civilization, was depicted in glowing language. Frank L. ’Hoover’s oration was upon the subject “School for Scandal.” He first treated the subject in a very humorous manner, and one that was highly appreciated by the audience. Then in more serious strain, he depicted the vast harm

done by the wagging tongues of malignant scandal mongers, in all ranks and stations of life, and in all times and places. Miss Daisy Warner gave tne “Class History.” She briefly sketched the general history of the class, from its first entrance into the high school with some 45 members, until with constantly diminishing numbers, the senior year was entered upon, with only the eight persevering ones,

who remained faithful to the end. Short biographical sketches, with more or less fanciful predictions of their futpre careers, were then given of each of the graduates. B«nj. E- Coen spoke upon the subject “Immigration” treating it, as it is, one of the vital questions of the hour. The great and ever increasing dangers of unrestricted im-

migratjon, with the evils that are threatening the very foundations of government and society, were shown. The urgent necessity which exists for shutting out the great tide of ignorance, indolence and depravity which certain parts of Europe and Asia are spawning upon our shores was strongly urged. At the same time warning waagiven of the danger of going to far m the principle of exclusion. Desirable immigration is one of the greatest and most Jndispensible sources of our wealth and well being and should be carefully encouraged. The musical features of the evening, besides tnose already mentioned, were a vocal solo by Mrs. J. G. Campbell, a piano sclo by Mrs. Delos Thompson, an instrumental duet by Prof, and Mrs. Baas, and a quartette by Mrs G. K. Hollingsworth, Miss Nellie Hopkins, W. B. Austin and H. L. Brown. The diplomas were presented by M. F. Chilcote, in behalf of the School Board. Another innovation upon 1 ormer practices was that the bestowal of floral and other presents was deferred until the audience was dismissed. The stage was handsomely decorated with flowers and plants. Also with a very large and beautiful executed banner, tearing the class motto, “Out of the Hai tor,! Into the sea.” 1

Two Mills in Motion.

Rensselaer which has been without a flour mill since the burning of Saylers’ mill last winter, now has two finely equipped, modern, rpller process mills, m full operation. Both mills were started up Monday, for the first time. Both are provided with the very best machinery, of the latest and; most impoved make, and both have new buildings to put the machinery in and new engines to run it with. In sac:, Rensselaer is “way up in G,”' or “clear out of sight,” in respect to milling facilities. The Sayler mill is now making about 50 barrels a day, with a capacity of - 75 barrels, and the Nowels mill about 40 barrels, with a capacity for 50 barrels.. Bring your wheat to Rensselaer and give the new mills a trial.
