ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

B. F. Fendig is at Indianapolis attending the Masonic grand lodge, representing Prairie Lodge, of which he is Worthy Master. _ Mr. J.H. Francis, of LaPorte, accompanied by his grandson Master George Francis, came here Tuesday, on a visit with their relatives and friends, and to attend the graduating exercises of the Rensselaer High School. Mr. Francis has lately returned ..from a winters trip to California and the Pacific slope. Clothino just received, prices positively lowest. Fendigs Fair. An important damage suit from Lake county has been brought to this county, on change of venue. The plaintiff is M. J. Orcutt, now of

Hammond, and he sues the Monon R. R., for $5,000. Some years ago Orcutt was riding from Englewood to Hammond. He paid his fare, 10 cents, as he claimed, to the brakeman, and when the conductor came around refused to pay him and was put off

the train between Hegewisch and Hammond. The tramp of a mile or two gave him rheumatism, malaria, snake-bites, chronic indisposition to labor, and in short a full assortment of ills of the flesh, not to speak of the great mental suffering that his noble and high spirited nature underwent on account of the humiliation of being bounced bodily from the train. The case has already been tried three times in Valparaiso, but each time the jury failed to agree. The plaintiff if we mistake not, is the same M. J. Orcutt, who formerly lived in the vicinity of Monon, and acquired some notoriety in connection with the Mary Baker fasting girl fake. Considerable excitement was caused in town yesterday morning, by the bringing to town of a load of the material that is being used on that part of the College Road gravel road now under construction. Indifferent larts of the wagon was material from different parts of the hill, and the material varies a great deal in quality. lEjpme of it is evidently too fine to make a good road, and the men who brought it in say the finest is the most abundant. The coarse part might make a fair road. Opinions differed on that point, but the great majority of those who examined the material, were decidedly of the opinion that none of it is very suitable :'or the purpose. Joseph Adams, who lives near the hill, made a pike of the best of it, in his barn-yard, ast fall, and he says it is no good. Says it wholly fails to “pack”—a necessary quality in good road material, Others, again, say that in time it will lack and make a better road than coarser material. The judgement of a disinterested expert is really needed in the matter.

It is said that the seventeen year ocusts are due this year. The entomologists say the advance guard may be expected during the last days of May. It will be in full force about the middle of June and will gradually diminish toward the middle of the following month. No alarm need be occasioned by the coming of these rare visitors. The injury that

they cause is mainly confined to their slitting the smaller twigs of trees in rows of borings of several inches in extent. The slits are placed at. near intervals, and are covered with pencils of fine torn-up fibers, which serve as a covering or protection to the eggs, from ten to twenty being deposited . beneath them. The harm to our fruit trees seldom amounts to more than a moderate shortening-in of the branches. In nurseries and young orchards trees are occasionally killed by the

attack. In fact, it is mainly owing to the fact that these insects are called “locusts” that their visits excite apprehensions of damage. And the name locust, as applied to them, is a misnomer. Cicada is their proper name, and they are in no way related to the real locusts; the grasshoppers being the fellows that properly should, in this country be called locusts.

Letters Can Be Mailed at Trains.

A number of papers have of late - published an item to the effect that .letters could not- be mailed at trains. The item was erroneous and the postoffice department has sent to all the railway mail service employees cir- : dulars calling attention to the postal I regulations requiring postal clerks ■to accept ail prepaid mail matter offered them at their cars, and to forward it to the destination. Equities have been received at the departI fflent from every section of the country indieatiDg~a"mTsundef 7 standing, due, it is stated, to the p üblication of a number of articles ih’coTrtcfiy intimating that the section of the regulations making the obligation has been repealed. The rule is declared to be still in force and refusal to comply will render clerks liable to dismissal unless special authority has been given.

The One Thing Needful.

Rensselaer is a beautiful little town. It is a peaceful, friendly, sociable little town. A goodly place in which to live—we know indeed of few that are more desirable in that respect. Those few that are more desirable places of residences are so because they have that which Rensselaer has not, and most needs —a good college that is open to people of all classes. We can scarcely hope to ever become a great business center or a great manufacturing center, but a good residence center we already are, and a great one we may yet be. To secure the location here of a good college, would be the sure and certain course

to become such a town. Will it be dore, and can it be done ? For the first part of the question, we give it up. For thrr latter part, we say we believe it could be done if our people would put forth an effort commensurate with the prospective benefits. The town has its full share of public spirit and more than its full share of wealth. Can not some way be found or made, in which this wealth and public spirit can be utilized in locating and maintaining here a good collegiate institution. A town of from 5,000 to 10,000 people, with a high grade college, open to all classes of people, is about the best place on earth for a residence.

Still Open.

The Republican’s remarkable offer of three papers for $2.00 or two for 11.75 did not close with the year 1893, but it will not be open indefinately, as our contract with the Inter Ocean and Tribune is limited. Those who want these papers on these unusual terms should secure them now and get the benefit of them while hey have time to read.

A terrific thunder storm struck this place Tuesday evening. During the” storm lightning struck the windmill at Mr. Parker’s house, but fortunately did not do any special damage, beyond stunning some of the neighbors. Mrs. Wm. Barnes whose illness has been frequently mentioned, died Monday, May 14th, Rafter a long and painful sickness. She had been confined to her bed for fifteen weeks. She was only twenty old. She leaves a husband and two small children to mourn her loss.

The Republican’s arrangement with the Inter Ocean by which it has 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 $8 paymenton The Republican, will positively expire June, 1, 1894. All who want the benefit of of the Inter Ocean with the Republican on thesg 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 SI.OO, which is the regular price of the I/iter Ocean alone. This last offer is intended~mainly for new subscribers but will be extended to present subscribers, who are not

in 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.
