The Congressional Primaries.

The primary convention to choose delegates to the Republican Congressional Convention were held in this county last Saturday, and were very largely attended. In fact the very, general interest taken in the matter by Republicans all over the county is a very striking proof of the high estimation in which the rival candidates are held by their respective followers. That both of them are fully deserving of the highest esteem is a proposition few Republicans will deny. The large attendance at these caucuses is also - another evidence of the great zeal for their party’s interests now prevading the rank and file of the Republican army, everywhere.

At the Marion township convention, which was held at the court house, there were 229 voters present gnd taking part in the proceedings, besides a number who arrived just too late to cast their ballots. The result of the convention was the election of the three delegates favorable to Mr. Johnson. Th vote for the Johnson delegates was 118 to 108 for the Landis delegates. The delegates elected were Harvey W. Wood, A. G. Hardy and J. F. Warren. The candidates for delegates in the Landis interest were J. I 11. S. Ellis, Chas. W. Coen and Wm. C. Babcock. It was probably the largest township caucus ever held in the county. For delegate from Jordan and Newton tps; Jas. F. Irwin, a Johnson man, was elected, by a vote of 19 for him to 13 for the Landis candidate. For Hanging Grove and Milroy j townships Alfred Armstrong is the : delegate. H&is a former resident of Delphi and an enthusiastic Landis j man. Vote 18 toD. In Barkley, R. B. Harris. He is instructed for Johnson. Union tp., J. I. Babcock. He is for Johnson. In Walker, W. D. Meyers was elected delegate. He is also a John- j son man. In Carpenter township there was about the livliest fight in the county. The Landis men seemed to be in the lead until about the last day, when the Johnson men got a double action move on, and they worked so vigorously that they carried the convention by a vote of about 120 for John- j son to 80 for the Landis delegates. , The delegates chosen are Ed. M. ! Green, George Welch and S. P. Thompson. The delegate from Kankakee and west half of Wheatfield, is J. H. Tilton. He is for Johnston. The Gillam delegate is Capt. B. R. Faris, another Johnson man. No report l has been received from Keener and west Wheatfield. It is generally conceded however that the delegate will be, for Johnson, and this will leave the county 13 for Johnson to one for Landis.

The Circuit Court.

The March term of the circuit court closed last Friday forenoon. Not much business ofpublic interest was disposed of, since our last issue. The damage case of Mrs. Geo. Dexter vs. the town of Rensselaer, was sent to Newton county, on change of venue. All the numerous damage cases against the various railroads were also venued from the county. The new Three I cases go to Newton county and the L. N. A. A C._, cases mostly to Benton county. Only two jury trials were held during the term. The Hopkins vs. Rogers case was mentioned last week. The amount in dispute was $7.50 and the costs to the losing party were about $75. The second jury case was that of David Gleason, a road supervisor, of Keener tp., versus James Tabor, a neighbor. The plaintiff claimed that the defendant borrowed a road scraper and kept it for about a year, and for the usufruct thereof, to the value of $2 the suit was brought. The defendant won the case, and the plaintiff as in the one previously mentioned, is in for about $75 costs. There is no appeal allowed in cases of this magnitude. The judge has made a thorough revision of the rules of the court, which will appear in the next term docket. ■ ■ A— Ten different makes of Sewing machines, At Steward’s.

The Town Board.

Monday night was Town Board meeting night, an i the session was held after the adjournment of the Republican convention. The principal business on hand was disposing of the large quantities of “twofer” cigars and oranges and “tbreefer” banai as set up by the successful candidates. Some mihor matters wtre disposed of between spells as follows; j Tbe street committee was directed j to put Up a few gasoline lamps in remote regions north of the depot and ;in Leopold’s Addition. The Elec- ! tiic Light company not having dyI name power enough to furnish any ; more street lights. The marshal was ordered to notijfy W. C. Shead to 'tie up his too demonstrative dog. The matter of the petition for a rebate to property [owners on the improvement of Washington street, was postponed until the building of th® gravel roads becomes a certainty. The el rk was directed to purchase “Thornton’s Municipal Law” for the use of the Board. James F. Antrim was appointed election inspector for the west precinct, and John R. Vanatta for the east precinct. Edward Morlan will put up the booths and cattle chutes.

HOW THE DAILY PAPERS GOT IT.

The following in regard to the discision in the Gifford district drain age law matter, which appeared in the Chicago and Indianapolis dailies, last Thursday, will be of interest to to our readers, especially the statement that the contemplated gigantic Kankakee River, drainage project was to have been effected under this law: Rensselaer, lud., April 4. —Special Telegram —Judge Wiley, of the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit, today decided the district drainage law of Indiana unconstitutional. This law was passed by the Legislature of 1893, and is similar to the Illinois law. It was framed by Benjamin J. Gifford, of Kankakee, 111., a large land owner in Champaign and Kankakee counties, Illinois, and in this county. ..The case decided today was the application of this law in the the drainage of his 20,000 acre ranch in this county, It was under this law that it was expected to drain the Kankakee River marshes, involving a half million acres of land in this and adjoining counties. The decision has a far-reaching effect throughout Indiana, and will render invalid all proceedings commenced under the law.

WORDS WITH THE BARK ON THEM.

j Editor Rett-bi/ican. —I see by the ; columns of your paper some allusions jto gravel roads, drainage, etc. Will I just say these improvements are very needful in Jasper county, for the ; health and convenience to all, as well ! as financially, if conducted on upright ; principles. But if conducted to till i the wallets of a few king frauds and 1 as many of their hirelings of like ilk as they can control, is ah injury and 1 a drawback to this county, as it al- ! ways has been. Contractors in bridges, ditches, etc., have run along with loose reins, just as their desires led them, and always had the needed aid by some Barrister of like foul principles, There nmst be a reform and honesty be adopted in place 9f fraud „ So it may be a general benefit to all taxed for the purpose named, roads and ditches, and the tax levied on sSUrid jUdg6lfienr“and honesty. On this latter basis Jasper county can be improved. And on the swindle or fraud plan, to rob honesty to fill the craving wallets of a few, Jasper will remain a mud hole—just the right sort of a place to deposit fraud and its servants when their ungodly work is ended here on earth. I don’t name any persons, they themselves should know when they try to rob and lie and such like, without being named. But they have marked themselves sufficiently. Hopeing they may become more honest if they can possibly see what honest}' is, in their seared condition. Please, editor, write up the principles of honesty in a more vivid form than I can. Perhaps those would-be lords of land and purse of other men’s, and widows, may yet see aod retract before they will be given over entirely to believe lies and practice tb& same altogether.

End of tbe Whlic County Court House. ilonticello Herald. Mr. Amos Johnson, of Wolcott, began Monday to execute hia contract of tearing down the old court house, and no event short of a balloon ascension has ever Compared with it as a drawing attraction on the public square. If Mr. Johnson could have conducted his operations under a tent and charged an admission fee, his ticket sales would have yielded him more than hia contract — Elisha Warden with his Arehimidean lever and chains was employed, and the first attempt to pull ihe structure (iown was made by liitchtng on the northeast corner of the building at the top of the [wall. It failed to budge, and the point of attack was changed to the north wall of the old auditor’s office, which was pulled out with a crash. But the rest of the wall remained, and then the clerk’s office wall was pulled out, and still the roof was supported by the intervening column of brick and mortar. This was next pulled out, and then there was a tumble that shook the earth, but the other walls still "stood, and the same process was rtquired on the west and south sides before the offices and court room were leveled to the ground. By ttiis time the day was gone, and the peristv le with its Corinthian pillars, tesselated brick floor, mediaeval stairway and kiJndried board ceiliDg was left standing in us majesty all alone over night. Next day the work of pulling down was finished, though the nortbaast corner refused to yield until a charge of dynamite was applied under it.

Ia these hard times a majority of our people are practicing a more rigid economy than for many years. Nearly every family has a supply of old gar ments or goods, which can be used to advantage in such times, and made to look almost like new by coloring over with Magic Dyes. You can depend on them for fast colors that will not crock or fade out, like most other dyes, and unlike other brands nearly alt the colors will dye cotton, wool, silk or linen with same package instead of a separate package for cottons which renders them far superior for coloring mixed goods Simp j« directions.
