A Kansas veteran at the encampment remarked: “Your Indiana drouth aint to be compared with the Kansas drouth of three years ago. We didn’t during all that summer whip a Child or have a funeral preached. Water was so scarce we couldn’t spare our tears. In our neighborhood we had to haul water from a well nine miles to have water enough to run the ferry,” The best investment you can make is to trade at Laßue Bros. Cash Grocery.

Highest price paid for produce at Laßue Bros. Cash Grocery. A more than ordinarily expert gang of fakirs accompanied the Cook & Whitby circus, and they found the field of suckers ripe for harvest, and no mistake. The most successful game was the ancient but always flourishing shell game. It was worked principally in a side-show' tent. There were also several cases of cheating on the change racket, and other tricks and devices. The number of men who are reported to have dropped from $2 to S7O on the shell game,-is astonishing. Especially ai nearly all them are men of intelligence and good standing. Some of them good church members. I declare Charley, that man Chipl man takes the cake on engine work. This engine runs better than it ever did, gives more power and takes less coal.

Rev. Peter Hinds, of Milroy tp., was in town Monday, preparing to make another and final removal from Jasper county. If he carried out his intentions he started yesterday for Logan Qo. Oklahoma, and startad in a remarkable way. It was his intention to make the journey by team, himself, wife and son forming the party. They take with them, also, five Jersey cows.

Edward Cain, a well known farmer living a few miles south of town, was kicked on the forehead by a horse about two weeks ago, and for several days his life was dispaired of. The chances are now very favorable that his life will be but the permanent consequences of the injury to Mr Cain will probably be nothing less than the terrible affliction of total blindness. One eye was entirely destroyed by the force of the kick, and the other is so badly injured that his attending physician, Dr. Hartsell, has no hope that he will ever see out of it. It is a sad affliction for Mr. Cain.

Judge Byron Elliot was arguing the black bord cases before Judge Wiley Thursday. Honest John Brown has arraigned the-Big Four railroad forty-one times for violating the blackboard law. The penalty is $25 on each count, half of which goes to the worthy prosecutor. Judge Elliot says this is unconstitutional, while Mrs Brown says this is the only good thing about the statute . The law was made necessary from the fact that a station agent never told the truth about a train if lie could help it, and then he would Tie out of it afterward. —Fowler Leader.

We learn that a petition has been circulated in Ganeer [Keener] township, Jasper county, for signatures, praying that the Commissioners of that county, take some action towards the construction of the road through the marsh, and same is being signed by all those who can write, and some who sign thusly X. Our business men have reaped some trade from that section this season, but not a taste, had the road been completed to DeMotte.—Hebron Leader. The above is not the first intimation the Hebron paper has given of the big trade that town is expecting to draw from’ Jasper county on account of the new bridge over the Kankakee north of DeMotte. The merchants of the last named town will have to watch out mighty sharp or the new bridge they “have long been so clamorous for will be much more of a damage to them than a benefit.

Or, inquire at Republican office. 3tp The circus features of Cook & Whitby’* show, which exhibited in Rensselaer last Friday, are very goo d. A better all-around circus perhaps never exhibited in the town. It has some good performers in all lines, and in their Japanese balancers, trapeze performers, bicycle riders and hippodrome racing, it is hard to ex T cel. The street parade is very good, and made so by their large number of very fine horses. The menagerie feature of the show is not very extensive, their animals being few in

number, and not of rare or uncommon species. What they have got, .however, are fine specimens of their Jkind, alt being 1 arge, healthy and well kept looking animals. Two of their elephants are monsters. The show exhibited in the southern end of Leopold’s “New Oklohoma,” the tract previously selected, east' of J. T. Randle’s residence, having been found too small. The'attendance, especially at the afternoon performance, was very large. The peopl e from the surrounding county for miles around, coming in by multitudes. So far, as outward behavior went, there surely could not be a better behaved crowd of circus men than these are. Even among the tent men Ac., there seemed to be a complete absence of the roughness of talk and conduct which usually characterizes a circus crowd. From here the circus went to Monticello. The day before they exhibited at Hammond. Estimates of the attendance at the afternoon performance differ about as widely as at a pol itical rally. Probably 2500 would be a pretty fair estimate, however.
