There was a family re-union at James Yeoman’s place, in Newton Tp., luesday, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. 8. B. Yeoman, of Nebraska. About 100 persons were present. The Presbyterian church has secured the services of the efficient and successful Presbyterian evangelist, Rev. Horace C. Keeley, who will begin a series of Gospel meetings at tue Presbyterian church, beginning Sept. 12 th. Dr. Washburn received a letter from Mrs. Moles, of Muncie, Tuesday. She says her daughter, who had the small-pox is getting well fast, and that she has not been worse at any time than she was when she left here. She says the doctors still differ as to whether the disease is chicken-pox or small pox. The j doctor says that it the disease does not appear by next Sunday in any one exposed, the probability is there will be no more cases here.

The subject of small-pox was the one absorbing matter of discussion in Rensselaer the latter part Of last week, and for a day or two this week. As time passes however, and the danger of the further occurence of the desease in the town grows less, the excitement and altVm grow proportionately less. The town Board held a special meeting Monday afternoon and issued an order, published elsewhere, requiring that all teachers and pupils produce evidence of having been vaccinated since 1890, before they can be admitted to the public schools. This order upon the part of the Board has caused a great increase in the vaccinating business, as all the town doctors can testify. The Town Board acting in the capacity of a Board of Health, took the farther precautionery measure of ordering the School Trustees to postpone the date of school, opening for one week, or until the 11th day of September. It is Odd Fellow’s Day at the World’s Fair, Sept. 2Gtb, and members of the order are everywhere, preparing to make it the biggest day in the history of the fair, as well as the biggest day in the history of the order. At the Philadelphia Centennial the Odd Fellow’s procession com tained 107 bands and was three and “One-half hours in passing a given point. The demonstration at Chicago is expected to far exceed that at Philadelphia. September 23rd has been selected as the date for Indiana Odd Fellows to go to Chicago, preparatory for the 26th. Greatly reduced railroad rates, probably one cent a mile, will be secured. Ten aerts of vacant jland, admirably situated for the purpose, have been secured lust south of the fair grounds for a camp of ten day’s duration, and where Odd bellows and their friends can be comfortably lodged for 10 cents a night. This includes tents, mattresses &c., all that the parties need to take being blankets and towels. Iroquois lodge of Rensselaer will go in large force, probably not less than 60 members at least. The lodges at Remington, Wheatfield,Mt. Ayr and-Francesville will probably also join with Iroquois lodge on this occasion. The camping arrangements will furnish a and their friends to spend a week or ten days at the fair at very little expense.r* C. B. Steward has been selected as Jasper county marshal for the 25th, with full powers until that time over all branches. He is trying to work up a big attendance from this county and with every prospect of success.

ToTeacta aafi Sciiool.PatjM It is ordered by the BoariL^iTrustees of the Town of Renssifeer, Ind., that no pupil or teacher be permitted to enter the Public School of Rensselaer until they have produced .to the Superintendant of the schools a certificate from a practicing physician that such pupil or teacher has been properly vaccinated since 18110. z<=>. In Testimony Whereof I hereunto set my hand ° affixed the seal of said Board at Rensselaer, this 28th day of August, 1893. M. B. Alter, Attest: - Pres. Board. Chas. Guy Spitler, Town Clerk.

A new swindle upon honest and unsuspecting farmers has been brought to light, and this is the way the scheme is operated; Swindler No. 1 calls upon a farmer with a patent wagon tongue and informs him that, having made a big thing of it, he is on his way home, with only this county to sell. He tells the farmer that he cart have it for §250. and if he wants it to write to him. In a few days patent right man No. 2 comes along. He has heard the farmer has lhe right of the county for the patent wagon tongue, and as he has made a big thing of it in Pennsylvania, he wants to buy the right of the county and offers the farmer 8400, and pays 8.10 to bind the bargain. The 1 aimer writes to No. 1 and sends him his note for §250. He never hears of either of the men again, but his note comes up for collection in a neighboring town, and Mr. Farmer is out 8250. —Bluffton Banner.

The Gifford Agreement Under Act of March 4th 1893. Mr. Editor: —I do not feel that I deserve any such imputation upon my integrity as would be implied in the thought that I would or that any one could exact a repayment of any sum collected by me on the voluntary agreement of any one of my friends with the excaysftpjMOa ditches referred to iu the organization of the Gifford Drainage district. Whatever the contract and law requires is always reliable. Two thirds of us land-owners mutually agreed with each other that I should be compelled to comply with all such private contracts. This was a lawful matter and is a part of the organic charter of the district. Section 23 and 22. For my personal receipts of payment the district officers must issue their order. Sec. 21. Each order of the district must be taken in lieu of any assessment by the County Treasurer, Sec. 20. My receipts are vouchers to the district while its orders are vouchers to the county treasurer. Thus the books of the district, the Treasurer, and my own must.tally. This is as plainly as I can state it: Why should this purely technical matter trouble any one? I have tried to do drainage work cheaply and to treat everyone fairly. I think you must see that because the County Treasurer may not see his way clearly to accept my receipts directly, rather than the order of the district, which such receipt would command, it ought not to be any reflection on my integrity.

/mak es honorable amends. In last week’s issue of the Peope's Pilot, Mr. Clark, the local editor, published the following personal statement: A GENERAL EXPLANATION. My article in last week’s Pilot, in reference to statements made by the Republican, was written without sufficient investigation as to the facts. After investigation I am convinced that the statement did great injustice to all parties therein mentioned. I wish now to say that I am fully satisfied that all the allusions in that article, to any alleged occurrences in Mr. Ralph Marshall’s law office, so far as they reflect in any manner upon either Mr. Marshall or Mr. Mills, were entirely untrue and uncalled for, and that whatever may have occured in their law office, of a questionable nature was entirely without the knowledge or consent of either Mr. Marshall or Mr. Mills. In reference to certain events said to have taken place in the office of the Republican, I now state that I know that if the alleged occurrence did take place in the office of that paper, it was entirely without the knowledge or consent of G. E. Marshall, the editor of that paper, nor did I intend in my article to convey the impression that I thought Mr. Marshall was a party to, or had any knowledge of the alleged occurrence and I believe he never even . heard a rumor of such occurences until the publication of last week’s Pilot. In my mapy years acquaintance with Mr. G. E. Marshall I have always found him a man of strict integrity, and I now withdraw all assertions to the contrary. Leslie Clark. We see no occasion for extended comment upon Mr. Clark’s statement. We will say this, however, and in all kindness, * that justice and fairness and a decent regard for the rights and feelings of others, is the best course even in dealing with a business or professional competitor, and if theyouthfni local editor of the Pilot will adopt that course, he will find that it will gain him more of value in the esteem of good men, than it will lose him in the applause of blackguards.

We would also respectfully request those owing us to call ’aT the WWWe we will be very glad to see you at your earliest possible convenience.

One Day at the Brock Reunion. “Vet.,”ln Goodlard Hciabl. The reunion opened up at Brook rather unfavorably, owing to the death of one of their members. The funeral of Billy Shihs cast a gloom over the entire assembly, be being a member of Crook Camp of S. of V. The band and-many of the singers attended funeral. The welcomingaddress was delivered by Rev. Clark, who not only tend, ered the veterans the freedom of the town, but free beds es well. The reponse was given by Rev. Bebout in a very pleasant vein. Then followed the speech of the day by Hon. Charles Landis, of Delphi, why gave us an address that will be long remembered by all who heard it, and those who failed to hear it missed a treat. Greeley Davis, of Kentland, led the singing, giving us several old army songs. Greeley likes to sing and we all like to hear him. The band returned from the funeral in time to furnish music for the afternoon exercises. Camp-fire opened at 8 p. m. with a speech from Hun. R. W. Marshall, who gave us a good one and told sevi'i’al amusing stories of array life. Comrade Marshall is not slow as a speaker and if he can fight as well I want to be on his side. At 10 pm. Comrade Bcagley formed the old vets in line and marched them up town, where they were furnished free beds by the citizens. Only a few remained in camp, j

for rot. I would invite attention of all tenants desiring good -farms, to the Haddock marsh which will be ready for cultivation next spring. There has been constructed across this marsh three large deep ditches, and probably as many more will be constructed yet this fall. It ii known, by the action of the water, that these ditches will not be subject to over-flow. This land is new, very rich, the buildings new and commodious and the rent reserved very moderate. ; This tract of land will be divided as I far as possible into farms to suit appli-; cants. All or nearly all of the marsh ! will be ready tor cultivation next spring. Houses will be built as farms may be taken. Roads, school-houses, and other public improvements will re-! ceive prompt attention as fast as j occasion may require. All tenants desiring farms should look at this tract of land. B. J. Gifford.
