Quite a large number of our citizens took advantage of the half fare rates on the Monon, last Thursday, but not nearly so many as would have done so had the Monon published its reduced rates sooner. If the railroads would do the right thing and give the people regular half fare rates'to Chicago, the tide of travel to the World’s Fair eity would be immense and unceasing. It would be better for the people and better for the railroads.

The very favorable weather of the last two weeks has made a wonderful improvement in the prospects of the com crop; and if the balance of the season remains inoderately favorable, a big crop will be harvested. Oats are also promising a big crop, except in some very low lands. Hay is a better than average crop. Wheat will be a small crop, owing to its having been winter killed in many places. Still there are many fields of excellent promise. Potatoes are immense. Good house, with bam,, to rent Enquire of Micah Sayler.

She was 75 years old, and her death occur ed Sunday night. She was buried in the Catholic cemetery, south of town • Miss Nellie Kelley lost a valuable and much prized gold watch and chain, Monday night, losing it, as she thought, while on her way home from the Presbyterian church. She had just called at The Republican office, Tuesday morning, to advertise the loss, when Milt Chipman, the janitor of the church, dropped in and said the watch was at his house, having been found in the church, by his daughter Myrtie. It is needless to say that the information was very welcome news to Miss Kelley.

Henry Barlow, one of Milroy Township’s best known citizens, died of old age, last Friday, June 16th, at his home in that township, at the age of 76 years, 10 months and 23 days. The funeral was held last Sunday, at Banner school house, Rev. Peter Hinds, a life-long acquaintance, preaching the funeral sermon. The funeral was the largest ever held in Milroy township, and the procession which followed the remains to the place of interment, the Benson cemetery, was a mile in length. The deceased has lived in Milroy tp. some 8 or 10 years, previous to which time he lived in Shelby county. Ex Gov. Chase and John W. Paris, the indicted officers of the Paris-D wiggins bank at Greentown, gave bail one day last week to answer the indictments. Paris, president of the collapsed concern, deposited a bond whose indorsers were worth $250, 000, and the bondsmen of the ex-gov-ernor represented $2,000,000. Chase demanded Immediate trial, insisting that the state prepare for action at once. That could not be done as the court calendar for the term is filled, trials already being set for every day of the term. All the bank cases went over till October. Prominent attorneys from all parts of the state volunteered their services in Governor Chase’s behalf, as a manifestion of love and respet. Should he accept all that so offered their services, the courthouse would not hold them.

Mrs. Rosa Seib, of Chicago, who is visiting F. J. Sears and wife has brought the particulars of the death of her brother, John B. Eaker, which occured June 10th, at St. Louis. He was in bathing in a large tank, in a natatorium, in company with 18 or 20 other young men, and sinking to the bottom was out of sight several minutes before his absence was noticed. He was then found and taken out of the water, but all efforts at recuscitation were fruitless. An inquest was held and the decision arrived at was that death resulted more from an attack of heart disease than from drowning. - The fact that his father died suddenly from heart disease is thought to be a strong proof that Johnny’s death resulted from the same cause. The unfortunate young man spent several years in Rensselaer some time ago, and is well remembered by many of our people.

We saw the World’s Fair last week, or‘at least as much of it as we could see in five days. It is not only the greatest and best show now on earth, or that ever-was on the earth, but it is the greatest and best that ever will be on the earth, where any adult readers of this paper will be likely to see it Nearly everything is complete, everything is ideally well managed, accomodations are abundant and prices reasonable. Remembers Clarke does fine watch repairing. Wm. H. Nichols, of Rensselaer, has been granted a divorce from Hannah Nichols. He alleged abandonment and cruel treatment, such as bad names, shaking fist in his venerable countenance, and, unkindest slam of all, saying a young man named Marion was a “better man” than plaintiff. It was a plain divorce, without any trimmings, al : though the plaintiff is not restrained from retaining his maiden name of “Yankee” nor from marrying again within two years if he gets a chance.

Some of our readers are curious to know what Prof. Swing, who was bounced put of the Presbyterian church for heresy, has to say about a similar treatment meted out to Prof. Bnggs. Here it is. “Professor Briggs is as far ahead of the Presbyterian creed as night is ahead of day. He believes in reasoning, not accepting all the statements of the Old Testament as facts, and it is only a question of time until the Presbyterian church believes as he does." Although the Presbyterian church has occasionally expelled some of the rubbish from, its creed it still retains plenty of it, and within the next few years they will be compelled to throw it all overboard A diagnosis of the vote is interesting. It shows that more than a hundred voted to sustain Professor Briggs, and if a vote of the ministry of the church was taken, one-third of them, I think, would concur in the Briggs belief. It will take about ten years, probably, j to bring the greater portion of them to believe substantially with 'professor Briggs.”

The statement was published in the Pilot last week, that two large silk flags, won by the Republicans and Democrats respectively, of Barkley tp., at rallies four or five years ago, had been left with Mr. Renicher, of that township, for safe keeping, and when they were wanted a short time since, to decorate a church for Children’s Day, it was found that Mrs. Renicher had tom up the flags for carpet rags. The only basis for this statement was the fact that a number of small, cheap flags, used orginally to decorate a large wagon for a Republican parade, had been left at Mr. Renicher’s and had come to grief in the manner mentioned. The big flags won by the Republicans of Barkley tp., are well cared for and will wave in splendor iin many another victorious RepubliIcan delegation from Barkley town- ] ship, and over many another victory of the grand old party of patriotism, prosperity and progress.
