The United States Supreme Court has just decided the railroad tax law of this state valid. All the railroads in this county except the Pan Handle had paid their taxes, but under protest. Had the law been invalid, these taxes would have to have been refunded to the railroads. The Pan Handle will now be compelled to pay up. The amount that company is owing the county is $7,222.02. Of course that includes state, county and township taxes of all kinds.

S. W. Collins, of Albany, this state was in town from Wednesday until Monday, organizing a company to drill an oil well in the Jay county oil field.

According to the b<st information attainable, the load of material exhibited in town last week as a sample of the road material in the Kannal gravel hill, was not a fair sample of the general quality of the material. The most of it is much better than the sample shown, which was from a part of the hill which Mr. Watson, the superintendent who had rtpeh ed. Mr. Watson, the superintendent, is a gentleman in whose judgement and integrity we have the fullest confidence, says that the material now used from the hill will make a good gravel road, but possibly will be rather slow to pack.

Give him a trial.

The Renssi laer Building and Loan Association has more money on hand, than it knows what to do with in the first or old series. The Replblican believes that it would be to the interests of all concerned for the directors to make liberal offers for stock of the old series and to i etire the same. The third paragraph of section thirtythree, of the by laws says. “The Board of Directors shall have the privilege, during the continuance of the Association, to buy stock of the members, for the benefit of the Association. Stock when so purchased shall be cancelled.” It is mathematically demonstrable that it will be more to the advantage of the Association io buy-and retire stock, at prices equivalent to ten per cent, interest on the paid installments, than to loan the money at 8 per cent, to outsiders. The bylaws authorize the payment of only 8 per cent, to withdrawing stockholders, but there is no limit except the discretion of the Directors as to what lump sums they may offer and pay for stock, at any time.

He Likes It Mower and More!

Messrs N. Warner <k Sons, The six foot cut Standard Mower that I bought of C. A. Roberts four years ago this season, for $65 has given entire satisfaction in every respect. I have cut from 140 to 160 acres each year, using my lightest team to do the work, cutting from 12 to 15 acres a day with ease. Expense on mower for four years $1.50. I have been asked if I was to buy another mower if I would buy a Standard. My answer is yes. I think there is none better on the account of its simplicity and durability, doing good work, light draft and no weight on neck yoke. Wm. M. Hoover, Rensselaer, Ind. The Standard is sold by N. Warner A Sons.

What Will They Do? Editor Republican—The populists made their ticket early as they did two years ago, so as to be ready for Democratic indorsement. There were a few democrats who opposed the indorsement two years ago, and they are more’ numerous this year, but we expect them to do it all the same. They (the Coxeyitcs) hope to thus demoralize and capture the majority of the democrats and with the few dissatisfied and disgruntled republicans to capture the entire county and in time the state and nation. Now since the little family jar at Hammond they expect the Johnstonites to knife Landis and in turn the Landis men to knife those on the county ticket who supported I am of the opinion the republicans can “get together” much easier than the democrats and Coxeyites possibly can. If James Wesley Douthit can compass the indorsements he will do it without regard to principle. He swears that “votes count” A number of democrats have said that if the democratic party indorse the Coxey ticket they will vote the Republican ticket. They are the class of men who regard principle above success. We can afford to waite and see what they will do. »* •

As over heard by our reporter. “John please get some sugar at Black’s; he gives more for the money tnan the other dealers; to economize we must be careful to get our money’s worth of everything—and Oh! John, don’t forget to stop at Long & Co’s, drug store for a bottle of Brant’s Balsam, it only costs a quarter and it cured my cough so quickly before. I have confidence in it, besides it is economical to use, the bottles are extra large, while the doee is only a half teaspoonfuL Get Brant’s of Long & Co.
