REMINGTON ITEMS: The I. O. 0. F. and the Daughters of Rebecca gave a reception in their pleasant hall last Friday evening, where an interesting programme was carried out, and elegant refreshments were served and where everybody had a good time. It was given in honor of Prof. Belden and wife who will soon leave us for the new work in Anderson. They will take with them the best wishes of the entire community. Mr. and Mrs. John Tharp of this place attended the funeral of Mrs. Duvall in Rensselaer, last week. A better idea of the great Columbian Exposition can be gained by reading, “A Remingtonian at the world’s fair in last week’s Press than by all the multitudinous articles that appear daily in the Chicago papers. It is well worthy of the perusal of everybody. Prof. J. C. Dickerson was in town over Sunday enroute to his home in Mitchell from Goodland. He expects to move to the latter place in about two months. We repeat what has been said in former items, that Mr. Dickerson and his energetic wife, will work a revolution in the schools of our neighboring town.

A number of our ertixens will probably HQ to Goodland on Thursday to hear Robert Burdette lecture on ‘‘The rise and fall of the mustache/*' —~ The burning of three barns in quick succession seems to point to incendiarism. If such be the proven fact life will fare badly with the malefactors. Rev. A. H. DeLong was called to Wolcott last Sunday to administer the rite of baptism to twenty persons, the majority of whom were im- ; mersed.

Smith is also remodling his commodious dwelling and many others are painting, building new fences and otherwise beautifying their homes.

Charles E. Peck has bought the desirable property of Joseph Larsh on N. Ohio street. Day in the Methodist church last Sunday, was oUe of the best entertainments of the kind ever given here.

The financial result was fifteen dollars and fifty-five cents. Mrs. Albert Bellows was in town Monday of this week for the first time since last winter. Her many friends will be glad to learn that she is rapidly regaining her keallb. Mrs. Bell, of the vicinity of Downer’s Grove, 111. is visiting her sister Mrs Saipuel Huggins.

CHARRED WITH MURDER.

John Eckert, the man who was m company with Ambrose Rude when the latter lost his life on the Kankakee river, some weeks ago, has been arrested charged with murdering Rude, and is now in jail m Valparaiso. Both men were residents of Starke county, living about four miles south of San Pierre, and Saturday evening, May 20, went fishing. They secured a boat and started down the river together. About 10 o’clock that night Eckert called a neighbor living a short distance from the river and told him that the boat that Rude and himself occupied, tipped over and that Rude was either drowned or swam to the other shore. He started away, as the neighbor thought, for help, bat instead went borne and went to bed. The neighbor waited all night for the help which he supposed would be furnished and it was not until late in the morning that he summonedhelp, Eckert not returning. The body was recovered in the afternoon of Sunday. Mrs. Rude and intimate friends cltim that her husband was murdered, as braises were found on the head, nose, and over one eye. Eckert was with Rode when the latter drew $l5O from the North Judson bank a few days before the fishing excursion and it is .pid, knew that Rude had it with him. The body when found, was in a bayou on the Porter oonnty aide of the river, henoe the arrest of Eckert was made in that county.

Boycotting the Fair.

One of the acts of the Christian Endeavor Convention, in the afternoon session of last Wednesday, was to adopt a resolution which not only strongly censured the World’s Fair authorities for opening on Sunday, but which also pledged those favoring the resolution to stay away from the fair entirely, week days as well as Sundays, and also to use every endeavor (Christian Endeavor) to prevent others from attending. In other words, deckring a boycott. It was a foolish, narrow, unmnided and unChristianlike resolution, and although no one had moral conrage to rise up and vote against the resolution, at the risk of a personal excoriation from some of the more zealous than wise persons who were trying to push the resolution through, it still is much to the credit of the good sense and good hearps of the members of the Endeavor society present, that only a very light vote could be drummed up in favor of the resolution- And even when a second attempt was made to get a respectable showing of members upon their feet, in favor of the resolution, the result was no greater than the first attempt. Small as the vote wgs, in favor of the resolution, it would certainly have been much smaller, had not a number voted for it under the erronious idea, that the boycotting pledge referred only to attending the fair on Sundays. In marked contrast with this boycotting resolution are the utterances upon this same subject of Rev. James L. Hill, D. D.. of Boston. Mr. Hill is one of the leading trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. He is also one of the editors of tiie Golden Buie , and what be says has the full weight ot authority. He says: *

“The Christian Endeavor has issued no boycott on account of the Sonday opening of the World’s Fair,” he said. “Stonewall Jackson once told some advisers that he had made a fortune simply by minding his own business. The strength of the Christian Endeavor is that it minds its own business. We make a specialty of minding our own business. * We strive to help the church—as the Sonday school helps it. It has been said that John Wanamaker indorsed the boycott of the Christian Endeavor. There is no boycott—there will be no boycott. There is great intensity of feeling in regard to the question of Sunday opening. If it closed on Sunday we shall rejoice, bat there wilt be po boycott—it is not of us, it is an uncanny word—we have abjured it.”

A “Chump.”

The following conversation between two of Rensselaer’s bright young ladies was overheard the other day as they were walking on one of our streets: “I was so shocked last night. I don’t believe I will see Tom if he calls this evening.” “What did he do?” “Why, last evening be suddenly took hold of me, twisted me around into his arms and forcibly kissed me a dozen times. I don’t believe yonr little Wille ever insults you that way, does he?” “No; he’s a regular chump.”

About Your Baggage.

A prominent railroad official has issued the following instructions to his patrons regarding World’s Fair baggage. Everybody should read and remember them: Don’t take any. Use satchels and carry them. If yon must take baggage plainly mark with yonr name and some address in fall. Check it yourself. Don’t allow anyone else to do it. See for yourself that the number on the duplicate given yon is the same as that on the one strapped to yonr trunk. Check it to Chicago. Don’t check it to exposition grounds or suburban stations. Keep memorandum of check numbers and initials with date and points at which they were obtained. Take the expressman’s badge number. Don’t give yonr checks to the transfer agent on train going into Chicago unles he gives yon a claim check in exchange. Coming back, don’t give yonr baggage to expressman' unless he gives claim check in exchange. If yon should get a depot claim check, be sore to get it exchanged at the depot for yonr railroad check before yon leave Chicago. Call on C. B.
