The hitch chain along the west side of the public square is badly out of repair, and there is a disagreement as to whose duty it is to repair it. The Commissioners think that the original understanding Jwas that the town should keep up the west chain; while the Town Board thinks that their duty extended only to keeping the street alongside it in good condition.

M. E. Baylor has recovered from the injuries inflicted by the strikers, and is now back at Hammond. He denies that he gave any provocation at all for them to assault him. He says that, being out of employment he frequented the Monon depot at Hammond, a good deal, on the chance of seeing old acquaintances from Rensselaer, and seeing him thus loitering about, the strikers thought he was actirg as a detective, and pounded him accordingly. His boarding house has been boycotted, and he is thus left in a bad shape financially. i::.;:..;

The game of ball between the merchants on one side and the bankers and brokers on the other, last Thursday afternoon, was the sensation of the week. At two o’clock the clubs formed and marched to the ball grounds in a double line. The merchants in red uniforms and with red umbrellas, and the bankers in blue with bine umbrellas. They were "preceded 1 >y~ ihcrcoriiet band, and in the rear J. H. S. Ellis and Dr. Vic Loughridge bore between them an immense demi-jolm labled “Arnica.” Charle}’ Warner and O. A. Yeoman were the umpires, and they suppressed back talk and enforced obedience to their rank rulings, the one with an immense ‘4>o\vie” knife, the other with a revolver. The game began

a little after 2 o’clock and lastecF four hours. That the playing was of a very high order of excellence is evident froffr the fact that when the game closed one of the nines, the merchants, had made 73 runs, while their opponents had scored 4G. Wtyen it is remembered that such noted professional clubs its-“ Old Anse’s” Chicago Colts, usually make only two or three runs during an entire game, while the clubs that oppose them make only Bor 10, it will lie seen how far our Rensselaer amateurs excell the best of the professionals. Nearly all the players were able to be on the streets the next day, but the most of them showed an evident disinclination to haste in their movements. The winning club received, by way of a prize, free tickets to the play Ingomar, at the opera house, Saturday evening. A fat man’s race, at the close of the game, was won by John Thomas, of Mt. Ayr, with Charley Crosscup a good second. As Thomas would not run unless it was previously agreed that the purse, $5, should be equally divided between the first and second runners, Crosscup did not hurry himself very bad to get first place. Joe Hammond was also a starter in this race, but he early fell by the wayside. A big crowd witnessed the ball game.

Those who do not like to use ice- as prodigally as some do in beverages, and yet like a “cold tea” will find that they can have it without ice, says a writer in the Boston Post. If yon have do ice, put the amount of tea required in a pitcher in the morning, and pour over it only enough water to cover it; let it stand for three or four hours, and you will find that all the flavor is extracted from the leaveSi When you wish to serve, pour fresh water, as fresh as can be obtained, upon the tea, and will have a delightful glass of tea, with none of the bitterness of boiled tea about it, and sufficiently cold.

WHAT “OLD-MAN-ON-THE-CORNER” LANDIS THINKS OF NORTHERN JASPER.

Delphi Journal. - X was up into Jasper county last Week, at DeMotte, a small place in the northern part of the county. DeMotte is situated in the Kankakee valley. The little town is on a sand ndge hut all around is black loam and rich promise. Ten years ago that whole country was a swamp. It is rapidly being reclaimed and the time is not far distant when the lowest places will be drained. And then the people of Indiana willeuddenly awake to a realization of the fact that the stretch of swamp extending from South Bend to the state line, averaging in width from eight to ten miles, and comprising over a million acres, has suddenly been transformed into the most productive territory in the state. The reclamation of this land is rapidly going on. Dredges are working out immense channels that carry off the water rapidly. I saw land last week that could have been bought by the mile for one dollar per acre ten years ago that is now worth $25 per aere. Then this land was covered with water. Now the corn on it is up to a horse’s back. Shrewd speculators gobbled up this land at a mere soDg. One man owns 18,000 acres in one stretch.

The Kankakee valley will some day do the gardening for Chicago. The soil is adapted to gardening. Plow it up and harrow it and it is just like a large garden that has been carefully raked. It is a black, sandy loam averaging from one to six and eight feet in depth. The soil is much the same as that in Holland and the valley is attracting ands of people from that country. They are the very best class of immigrants. They are industrious, thrifty and law-abiding. They come to this country to make it their home. They settle down to business. They work and save and accumulate. They obey the laws as they find them. They are natural gardeners. I predict that in a very short time the Kankakee valley will be a succession of beautiful farms and gardens, that a railroad will run its entire length and that special garden trains Will carry to Chicago early every morning the fruit and vegetables of that section. And after it is all over the people who have been going to the Kankakee swamps to hunt and fish will wonder why on earth it never occurred to them to pick up one or two sections of that land when it was cheap. Ten years hence a section of land on the Kankakee will be considered a fortune.

There is a canning factory at DeMotte. Jacob Troxell, who lives there, who holds the scales of justice and who is a valuable citizen generally, took me out to look at a few of their tomato and potato patches. There are fields of from ten to twen ty acres that are now waist high. There are acres of onions and cabbages. The canning factories will be busy this summer. And think of the canning factories there will be along this rich and fertile valiey ten j’ears hence. Think of the wealth, of the gardens, of the farms, of the homes along this valiey. Think of its beauty and richness and glory and think how proud the Hoosier state -willbeof it all. And ten years ago they were almost giving this land away 1 It waS then synonymous with frogs, dog fish, snakes, water lilies, reeds and rushes. I don’t know of" any people who are getting more out of life than the people up around DeMotte. They all seem to be happy. The families are large, are well clothed and have lots to cat. They are all patriotic. You ought to have seen them turn

out on the Fourth. —They came to town in delegations from the country with horns tooting and flags waving. They sang, they cheered, they fired the old anvil. They listened to the speaking, and when everything else was over they cleared the platform that was carefully laid, an orchestra appeared and the young people wound up the day’s festivities with the dance. I don’t know how long they danced, but at two o’clock in the morniDg when 1 happened to “come to” for a second the strains of a “quick and devilish” tune came floating through my window and I heard the caller sing out, “all join hands and circle to the left.” I imagine it was “sun up” when that orchestra played “Home, Sweet Home.” , I like to go to the country on the Fourth. There it is plain, unaffected patriotism without any side issues. And after all, the fields and farms, dotted with school houses and churches, are the safeguards of the republic.

THAT SPIRITUALISTIC EXPOSE AT MONON.

Tne fact that a spiritualistic medium had been exposed at Monon wm briefly alluded to last week. Thu following detailed account of the affair is from the Monon N ewg: Harry Fross, the proprietor of the Arlington House at Monon, is a firm and enthusiastic believer in modem spiritualism. On several occasions since he has been proprietor of ttat Arlington Hotel, seances have been held there, in the parlor at the south end of the building. During nearly all last week a medium, by the name of Mrs. Ida Karr, and her husband, K. J. Karr, who reside at 146 south 4th street., Lafayette- Ind., were stopping at the Arlington, and giving seances and other illustrations (ts Spiritualism, creating considerable excitement and with prospects of making converts to the cause of Spiritualism. 50 cents were charged for admission to the seances, and other charges were made for what is commonly known as fortune telling, through tbe influences of the medium with the spirits. These seances were attended by many of the best people of the town, and the churches felt that harm might probably come from it, that the young and unsuspecting might be misguided and their future welfare jeopardised. Last Monday night was fixed for an extended seance and several leading citizens were expected to be present. Capt. Ward, ex-Post Master from Monticello, Ind., came over and with his wife was present at the seances. Mr. Jas. H. Turpie is not a believer in Spiritualism and went to the seance, which was held in the usual place, a part of the appearances being in and from the south east room of the parlor. Mr. Turpie watched closely each appearance. To use his own words: “hirst act was Mrs. Karr going into an apparant trance in the presence of an audience of sixteen, slipping behind the curtain into a small room adjoining the parlor; next the voice of a little girl they called Mattie, the sister of Mr. Karr, who died sometime ago; but to close ob* servers, a voice spoke in the voice of Mrs. Karr, tbe pretended medium. Mattie called persons in the audience by name, saying she was glad they were present. Next was the appearance of what they called Happy Charley, with a tin horn cracking the guests on the head. Next came the drummer boy, with his tenor drum, whom they called Jimmie, that they claimed was killed in a riot in Crawfordsville. Next came n party called the Doctor, the spirit that controls this medium, who died in Wisconsin many years ago. Next came the form of a lady who claimed she was the sister of Capt. Ward, of Monticello. Next came the form of a lady, who had not yet given her name, and before she gave her name, Turpie gave a leap and landed between her and the door to the anteroom and with his body and arm shoved her out in the crowd. Sbe gave a scream and tried to get bade in, the room. He pushed her back again into the audience and presented her to the audience as Mrs, Karr. At that point her husband pulled the organ from the Hall door, through which she escaped to the hall where she met Mr. Park hurst, the druggist, who saw her spring into her room No. 7. When Mrs. Karr had thus disappeared her ante-room was vacant, no one being in it but Turpie, with Mr. Karr’s husband standing on the outside of the door, and Turpie on the inside of the ante-room, Karr having his revolver pointed in Torpie’s face.

* * * The Medium was confined to her bed Tuesday morning, from nervous" prostration, and her friends seemed to feel alarmed on account of her condition. The affair caused great excitement and has been the theme of conversation all week. Turpie gave Karr warning to leav* town by 9 o’clock Tuesday morning, or he would have him arrested far threatening to use a deadly weapon. He <3 id not go as warned and a warrant was issued for his arrest at 9 o’clock Tuesday: but Karr bearing of what was going on hired a rig from Long & Son and skipped out from the alley in the rear of the hotel. This affair will undoubtedly be ft serious back-set to Spiritualism in this part of the country.
