Tell the neighbors about our Great Inter-Ocean and New York Tribune Clubbing Offer.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

For One Dollar, the regular price, we will send the Inter Ocean Or N.Y. Tribune a jear, and throw in The Republican for six months. A telegram came to Rensselaer yesterday, for Ed. Deweese, of Hanging Grove tp., informing him of the death of his brother, Will, in Harrison 1 county. Another brother Frank and a sister live in-this county. He was about 22 years -old, and died of hemorrhage of the lungs. Buy your farm wagons of B. F Ferguson, and save money. Mrs. Lecklider has just returned from the city with a complete line of the latest stile summer millinery. E. D. Rhoades has just made the annual census of children of school age, for Rensselaer. He made a careful count and found 654. This is an increase of 57 over last year. The population of the town, figured on the basis of three to one, is now 1962. Renumber that we shall still con tinue our great clubbing offers with these great weeklies: The Republican and either the Chicago InterOcean or N. Y. Tribune for $1.75 per year; or all 3 for $2. The Republican and Indianapolis Journal, $2. A team belonging to Grant Clark, of west of Mt. Ayr, got scared near the Sayler mill, yesterday morning, and ran away, running into S. P. Thompson’s iron fence, at his residence, at the head of Front street, before they stopped. One of the horses was badly hurt on the fence, but Dr. Kannal, the veterinary, mended it up m good shape, and no permanent injury will result. Clothinc just’ received, prices positively lowest.

Tbe people of front street are moving to have the street graveled. Using Lafayette gravel similar to that to be used on the gravel roads. It is figured that the street can be graveled in good shape at a cost of only 15 cents per lineal foot to the property owners on each side. If this is the case the movement ought to be general. There is no liklihood that so good a chance will ever occur again. The Monon R. R. is selling the gravel cheap, because it has to be moved from the site of the road’s new shops, at Lafayette. Clarence Lecklider has a new supply of fine lace curtains, rugs &c. to sell on the installment plan, from 25 cents to $1 per week. A contributed memorial sketch of Griswold Van Rensselaer is published elsewhere in this issuelie died suddenly on Sunday, April 22, 1894, at Colorado Springs, Colo., of hemorrhage of the lungs. His age was only 19 years. His father, whose own death occured several years ago, was Schuyler Van Rens selaer, only son of the founder and name-sake of the town of Rensselaer. Like the latter he was an only son, and in his death, dies the last male member of the Ran Rensselaer family. The young man’s mother is the well known writer, Mrs. M. G. Vanßensselaer. His funeral was held at University Place Church, 10th street, New York, last Friday, April 27th, and interment made in Greenwood cemetery.

A sensational affair took place at Monon, one day last week. James Turpie, the well-known one-armed boss of that town, with the help of two of his hangers-on, Marion Jacks and James Robinson, made a brutal assault upon John Fawcett, editor of the Monon Review. Fawcett had been to Francesville, and was returning on the local freight, and as the train slowed up Turpie and his strikers boarded the caboose and beat Fawcett terribly with clubs. Fawcett was severely but not dangerously injured. Turpie’s reason for the assault was the claim that Fawcett had made some very slanderous remarks about his young daughter. Thia Fawcett denies, and the Monticello Democrat says it has a long letter from a prominent Monon man, giving quite different reasons for the trouble. It is said, however, that Fawcett has decided not to prosecute Turpie and his men. If that is the case, it looks a good deal as if Fawcett was conscious of having deserved his beating. Hu lately established paper is understood to have suspended.

The Guild brothers, Thomas M., and D. H , of Gillam tp., are taking high rank in their chosen field of labor, the M. E. Ministry. The, following mention of them is from a letter of Rev. J. N. Harmon, of Rochester, to the Morocco Courier. “Rev. T. M. Guild, known to many at Morocco, has recently been re-ap-pointed by the North-western Indiana Conference of the M, E. church, to Elwood charge for the third year. He and his estimable wife are useful and popular among the people. On the evening of Feb. 22nd, over four hundred people assembled at the residence of one of the parishioners and celebrated the twentieth anniversary Df the parson and his wife. Such a collection of people on an occasion of this kind has never been known in Elwood. The evening was spent in a delightful manner and 7 the friends manifested a slight appreciation of Mr. and Mrs. Guild, by presenting them a set of china ware for the home. Other presents of utility were also given the couple. D. H. Guild, a brother of Thomas M., is entering upon his third year as pastor of Grace M. E. church, at Marion.” B. F. FERGUSON is now prepared to make Farm Loans at 6 1-2 percent, interest per annum. Commission as low as any one else. He does his own abstracting and can save you money there. Be sure and call.

The Gravel Road Bonds Sold.

Thp county bonds for building Marion Township gravel roads were sold Tuesday afternoon, as per advertisement. They were bought by Lamprecht Bros., <fc Co , of Toledo, Ohio, for a premium of S7OO. This is the same firm which bought the Wheatfield ditch bonds, a few weeks ago. They were represented by Mr. Hawkins, of Indianapolis. Their principal competitor was the Indiana Trust Co., of Indianapolis, represented by G. K. Hollingsworth, of Austin & Co. Other bidders were Spitzer & Co., of Toledo, Ohio; Deets, Dennison <fc Pryor, of Cleveland ; Seasongood & Myer, of Cincinnati; and two bids were received by letter. One from N. W. Harris & Co., Hartford Conn., and one from S. P. Townsend, Chicago. The bonds will not begin to draw interest until Nov. 15th, and the purchasers are allowed to retain the interest until that time, from the amount paid for the bonds. At the amount of premium paid for the bonds, the net interest will be a little more than 5| per cent.—five and fifty-seven hundredths, to be exact. The highest bid by mail was $468, and but for the competition of Mr. Hollingsworth, this would have been increased but very little.

WILL EXPIRE JUNE 1ST.

The Republican’s arrangement with the Intefi> Ocean by which it has been able to offer both papers one year at the remarkably low price of $1.75, or a free copy of the Inter Ocean, for a $3 payment on The Republican, will positively expire June, 1, 1894. All who want the benefit of of the Inter Ocean with the Republican on these terms should take notice and send in their orders before that date. The campaign just opening will make the Inter Ocean doubly interesting and desirable. It ought to be in the hands of every voter, and now is the time to secure it with the Republican at the lowest possible outlay. Republicans can do the party good service by calling attention to this offer and urging their friends who are not taking either paper to take advantage of it between now and June Ist. And for a special campaign offer, we will send the Inter Ocean for one year, and The Republican for six months, both for $1 00, which is the regular price of the Inter Ocean alone. This last offer is intended"mainly for new subscribers but will be extended to present subscribers, who ,are not m arrears. To those in arrears the 11.75 rate for both papers one year is the best our contract with the Inter Ocean will permit us to offer. The young people’s supplement in the Inter Ocean with fine colored pictures, every week, is worth the whole pnee of subscription, to any family having children.

The War On the Iroquois.

THE GREAT BATTLE OPENED MONDAY. But the Whole Matter May Be Transferred to the Circuit Court. The move mentioned last week, to raise money to compromise or fight the Iroquois ditch, resulted in the pledging of about SIOOO. This was not a large enough sum to have es fected a compromise with, and therefore it was decided to fight the matter in the courts. As a result of the decision Hon. E. B. Sellers, of Monticello, who managed the fight on the Wakarusa so ably, was engaged principal attorney for the remonstrants. He is assisted by R. W. Marshall, of the local liar. The ditch is represented by Mess. Thompson & Foltz.

The hearing of the case opened Monday afternoon, in the circuit court room, before the county commissioners. People affected by the ditch, and nearly ail in earnest opposition, were present from all parts of the county nearly, and in such large numbers as to crowd the room to pretty nearly the limit of its standing capacity. * The forma.ity of calling the names of all th e parties assessed for the benefits occupied a good part of the afternoon. They are some 1390 in number and each name was mentioned to the sheriff, by Mr. Foltz, and the sheriff then called the name three times in succession. Naturally it was a tedious operation. Following this, the attorneys for the remonstrants then filed a motion to dismiss. This was over-ruled without argument. A written request for dismissal of the proceedings was then filed signed by 20 of the 64 original petitioners. This too, was over-ruled. Mr. Sellers then introduced the principal remonstrance and bill of exceptions, signed by a very large number of affected parties, and took occasion in so doing to state that he did not intend nor desire to make more than a formal fight for the dismissal of the ditch before the Commissioners, but intended at once to appeal to the circuit court. On request of Mr. Thompson the court took a recess of two hours, to permit him to look over the paper just filed by the remonstrants. Uncle George Kessler, the quaint and picturesque old patriarch of Barkley tp., was too infirm to attend the trial in person, and therefore sent in the following written protest: Aprile 30th 1894 to the Board of the Comishors of Jasper County, that I opposed to the Iroquois dich Swindle forever and forevermore in Amen and Amen George Kessler.

The attorneys for both sides agreed that the commissioners should order the ditch established, without extende i examination, and "that an appeal should be taken and the main case be beard by the circuit court. Some affected parties, not represented by attorneys, have preferred a hearing by the commissioners, however, and their final decision as to their action has not yet been annoucect.
