Horatio Ropp, who lives a mile or two west of town, on Mrs. Hester Grayson’s farm, had his landlady arrested last Thursday, charged with malicious tresspass, in that she had chopped up a row of his growing corn, which, she thought grew too near her “truck patch.” The case was set for hearing one day this week, but later Mr. Ropp got cooled off and came in Saturday and dismiseedthe case..

Everything fresh and new and first class, and at lowest living prices, at Warner <fc Shead’s the new goocery store.

Robt. Vanatta, whose recent graduation from the State University was mentioned in this paper, has been employed by the Remington school board as principal Of their high school, for the ensuing school' year. They could not have made a better choice.

J. R. Vanatta and wife celebrated their silver wedding last Fri. June 30th, at which time they were the recipients of many beautiful, useful and expensive presents from their many friends. Although they have been married 25 years, John R. says he is “just as young as he used to be”. A. M. Baker and daughter, Miss Mattie Baker, now of Tacoma, Washington, are visiting Mr. Baker’s son A. S. Baker, of Milroy tp. MrBaker formerly lived north of town for a few years. He now lives at Tacoma, where his son John Baker is two times a millionaire, and who will not permit his parents to do anything but ride around and take life easy. Mr. Baker thinks Washington the finest country and the finest climate.

Miss Dollie Bufink, of Rome City, this state, who is to teach in Rensselaer next school year, is one of those who was refused a diploma by the trustees and faculty of the State Normal School, because they would not sign a paper saying they were sorry when they wasn’t a bit sorry, and everybody knew they wasn’t. We do not think that Miss Bufink or any members of her class, will lose anything by adhering to their refusal to sign an evident falsehood.

The Arlington Hotel, 6418 to 6430, Stony Island Ave., Chicago is a' most convenient place for Jas-| per county people visiting the; World’s Fair.

Ross Norman, a son of Mrs. Kritcblow, died Sunday morning, at her home north of town, of diptheria. His age was about 8 years. His sickness lasted only from the Wednesday before his death. There were some cases of diptheria in the family, some time ago, the last having got well six weeks before the boy’s sickness began, but it is probable that the germs of the disease remained in the house.

Estey organs and pianos, and Estey <fc Camp organs and pianos, on exhibition at C. B. Steward’s. A Fourth of July picnic was held in Lakin’s Grove, in Barkley township. Tne amusements consisted of foot races, horse races, dancing’&c. A large dinner was one of the pleasant features of the occasion, while music for the day was furnished by the Gillam Brass Band. In the foot race a young man named Jones, of Medaryville, defeated Chas. Mallatt much to the latter’s surprise and chagrin. Mallatt’s string band of Fair Oaks, furnished music for the dancing in the evening. Professor Would-1 ike-to-be Postmaster W. E. Jackson visited the fair last week, and when he returned was expatiating on the display of foreign exhibits at the fair, and particularly upon the foreign manufactured goods, which were marked at the foreign price, the tariff added, and the .price to, Americans figured as the result of the addition. On this he led off on a dissertation on the advantages of “free wool.” Just as he reached the climax an old farmer came in to attend to some business, and not knowing anything of the subject under discussion stopped a moment, looked carefully at the due-bill received in payment for his Reason’s crop of wool, saying “Godlemighty, wool 13 cents a pound,” and moved on to attend to his business. His unconscious remark threw a wet blanket on the learned professor, who suddenly subsided and has not since been heard say a word about the great advantages of “free wool.” Winamac Republican. Last Thursday, in the Cliff Dwellers’ side show, in the World’s Fair, three burros or mountain donkeys, met a woman on a narrow path, near the top of the canon, and the woman being frightened, she scared the donkeys and two of them fell off, and were badly hurt, one Laving to .be killed. The Chicago TYidwne, the nejxt day, gave a whole column, with big headlines, to the matter, even heading it “extra edition.” And told the story that a “brute of a man” threw the donkeys off the cliff, and that the crowd present tried to catch the man, with the evident intention of lynching him. As it happened several Rensselaer parties were in the cliff dwellers’ show at the very tiibe ? and at least two of them saw the donkeys fall from the cliff and they know that there was not a word of truth in the “brute of a man” story. The TWdioie must be hard up for a sensation. It is a great paper, or rather a great fake. Warner and Shead, the new grocery firm. GiVe them a trial.

A notable event occurAl m Gillam | Tp. on last Thursday, June 29th. The friends and relatives of old uncle Eli Faris, who was 80 years old thardaj’7gavo him a birthday sur- ; prise by going in to the number of I 106 with well filled baskets and set- j I ting a tabic in the grove, at which, I GO persons could be seated. Of the I number present, about 60 were relai tives and the rest were his old neighi bors. The place of the meeting was I at the residence of his eldest son, J.. I T. Faris, with whom he now resides, j One very pleasant feature of the event was, that all of his living brothers, five in number, and his only living sister were present. Of the five brothers, three have past the three score and ten period and the ; sister is in her seventy ninth year. The youngest brother being fifty six . years old. The conbined ages of the ' six brothers Eli, Elias, James, Ani drew, William and George with the sister Mrs. Wright, being 493 yean.

Another Triumph! ‘ ' v G -r/WyGr Zflmi. ffljG l '' 'IE'S • 1-1 fa. ijSa > ' The DEERING- JOINTED PLATFORM a marvelous success. THE BINDER TRUCK SUPPLANTED. With the Jointed Platform the farmer can fold up hU binder in five min* utes and drive off without lifting the machine or unhitching the horses. In all other respects the Deering has no superior.

The Deering Mower, Is another triumph and has as many points of superiority as the binder. Come and . see them at our store and be convinced. HAMMOND BROS.

AU work on the new shops of the I Monon at Lafayette has been sus-j pended. There is a hitch between! the city and the company as regards certain rights, and neither party has as yet signed the contract The Monon management say they will go no further until all matters in dispute are settled and the contract signed. The prospects are that the company’s shops will remain at New Albany for some time to come.

H. D. Spurgeon, who is a plasterer by trade, exhibited a unique musical combination in the public square, last Saturday. It consists of a fine concertina, which plays, mechanically, by simply working a treadle, a very large number of times, and in connection is a mehanical arrangement by which the operator plays a bass drum, a tenor drum, a triangle, and a number of bells, all at the same time, and all in unison. The combination is one of Mr. Spurgeon’s own invention, made to while away his time when he has nd work to do. He is a childless widower, and with a strange history. He has been three times married and all three times bis wives died with cancers. He formerly lived in Remington, and afterwards in Good land.

Sheriff Frei I rich, of Lake county, j is having more than a full share of j tribulation these days, in the shape of damage suits. The _ Coluinbiaif Athletic Club, of' Chicago, has sued him and his bondsmen forsGo,ooo on account of the breaking up by him of a prize fight, or “Athletic contest” so-called, at Roby. The two principals in the fight, who were arrested, j have sued him for $20,000 each, and I their referee for 810,000. In addition to this the Dwigglns firm have sued jaim for 840,000 in the United States court. Several weeks ago the sheriff nabbed a hand satchel, while I on board a train, belonging to the | Dwiggins’, which contained contracts for Griffith lots aggregating between $35,000 or $40,000 in value. If all these parties get judgements for al they are sueing for, it will make Suite a hole in the Lake county lieriffs salary for the next two years, even if the fee and salary bill is soon (knocked out by the Suspreme Court,

Connubial Bliss.

, On Monday, July 3rd, the Rev. B. F. Ferguson joined in wedlock Chas. Fay, aged 19, and Mary DeLaney aged 18, both of Union township this county. The parties are young and this being their first experience in wedding ceremonies, it is not surprising that the] waves of connubial bliss swept over their young hearts in such a tumultuous storm as to make them entirely forget to pay, or even thank the reverend gentleman for his official services. Later on “when the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder’s in the shock” we hope the parties will remember Mr. Ferguson with a bundle of hoop pools or some hoosier pie fruit.

Pettit’s Health Failing.

Late reports from the northern penitentiary are to the effect that Bev. Fred Pettit, the wife murderer, has been confined to his bed for the past six weeks and is in a precarious condition. He had just undergone a surgical operation, and the doctors expressed but little hope for his recovery. The reports concerning his declining health have not in the least been exaggerated, and it is the genj eral belief of the prison officials that •he will never live to hear the decis- | ion of the Supreme court in his case.
