The ice moved down the river Sunday. There was the customary gorge at the bend near the creamery, but it broke away again before it reached very large proportions. Its vestiges remain in the shape of large piles of ice on both banks of the river. Dr. Kuderling, the dentist, will be at the gtMakeever house again on Tuesday and Wednesday, March the 12th and 13th.

Teeth extracted free and makes a guaranteed set of teeth for $6. Gold fillings sl. Silver fillings 50 cents. Laßue Brothers have bought of the Vanßensselaer heirs the tract of land just across the river, extending from the bridge down the river to the creamery. It is not unlikely that S. M. Laßue will build a residence this season upon that portion of the tract which fronts on Washington street. The demolition of the old building on Van Rensselaer street next door south of McCoys bank, was begun Monday morning, to moke room for the new brick building E. L. Hollingsworth inputting up there. The new building will have two rooms, one of which will be occupied by Mrs. M. E. Lecklider’s millinery store, the other by Ferguson & Chapman’s real-estate office.

The papers have been filed in the Clerk’s office here, in the case of Miller Ward vs. the town of Monon. The suit was begun in White Co., and sent here on change of venue. The complaint states that in July 1893, Mr. Ward was tripped on a loose board, in a side walk, in Monon, and falling, received serious injuries. Towit, a dislocated thumb, a rupture and an injured spine. Damages are asked in the sum of $5,000. Jerry Healy has bought of Alfred Thompson 35 feet on Vanßensselaer, street, opposite the public square, and upon which now stands a part of Worden’s blacksmith shop. Jerry’s brother, John Healy, is building a shoe shop for his own use on a part of the lot, and if present negotiations do not fail, E. N. Hyland’s building, now on Odd Fellows’ lot, will be moved upon the remaining pait of the lot. The price paid 1 for the 35 feet was $1,500, which is about $45 per front foot.

T. J. Sayler received a telegram Friday night, from his wife in Colorado, saying that their little girl was thought to be dying with diphtheria. Mr. Sayler took the next train, but after getting as far as Chicago he telegraphed out, and got answer back that the child was much better. He therefore returned to Rensselaer. J. F. Watson made his contemplated removal into town, from his former residence a few miles southeast of town, the latter part of last week, and now occupies Mrs. Flo Sears’ house, at the south end of River street. Mr. Watson has bought lots on Weston street, south of Makemself ditch, and will build a residence on them this season, we understand.

A succession of proposed moves, mentioned in a previous issue, took place last Thursday. Elias Hammerton moved from Wm. Baker’s farm, to near Francesville. Mr. Baker moved to his farm, Nelson Randle moved to the Baker property, on Main street, which he now owns, and J. F. Irwin moved in from Jordan tp., into his house in Newton’s addition just vacated by Mr. Randle.

Quite an extensive colony of people bound for the new farms in Gifford’s district, stayed in Rensselaer last Friday night and resumed and com pleting their journey the next day. There were 14 wagons in the train, loaded with household goods, pigs, poultry <fcc. They also had a considerable number of cows and over 60 horses in the outfit. Some of the families came from . Illinois, and some from Benton and Fountain counties, this state. There is a very notable dearth of good farms for rent now in Jasper county, and several good renters that we have heard of, have been unable to find any suitable farms, this year. We can but think that the time is now here when owners of large stock farms will find it more profitable, as well as much better for the community generally, to divide up their big ranches and, if they do not want to sell, then to rent them out to good men.

The Lawrenceburg Register says: The farmer has some advantages he never counts in reckoning up his profits. His home to live in, the products of his garden, poultry yard and dairy which have been consumed in his own family. Until he lives in the city awhile he does not realize what these luxuries cost when every thing must be paid for. These are among his profits. THE MODEL The ladies of Rensselaer who wish to purchase a new Spring Suit, should visit the “Model,” and see their latest novelties in Dress Goods, and Trimmings to match. The pretty line of Spring Capes, and Ladies Waists, and Dress Skirts. Remember our Carpet Department —the finest line in the City, before you purchase new carpets. No trouble for the Model to show goods.

The present management of Governmental affairs reminds us of the machine that was invented to take the bones out of fish—the bones coming out of one funnel and the flesh out of another. A hungry man placed his mouth at the flesh funnel to take a meal of fish, but carelessly or ignorantly turned the machine backward. The result was the man was filled so full of fish bones that they protruded his entire body, and he was unable to change his shirt until the bones were all pulled out.— Rochester Republican. Chas. Vick moved Tuesday afternoon, from the house on south Division street, recently bought by John Jones, of E. L. Hollingsworth, and into the John Halliday house, east of Henry Harris’ place. Mr. Jones has moved from J. C. Passons’ house on Scott street, into the house, Mr. Vick vacated; while Mr. Kahler, will in turn move from C. W. Duvall’s lately purchased house on Weston street into the house Mr. Jones moved ou f of. Mr. Duvall will move into his house, and be in turn will give room for Abe Simpson, who has bought Mr. Duvall’s former house. The last move in this chain, so far as known, will be the moving into the house Mr. Simpson vacates, of Elkanah Galbreath, of Barkley tp., who has bought it. It is indeed a “moving tale.”

Quite a Tennessee craze exists in DeMotte and vicinity. A number of parties have gone there already, and many oth rs are contemplating going. Squire J. M. Troxell, has large intesests there, but has not, as yet, fully decided to permanently remove there. Our former townsman, Samp Erwin and his sons will all go there shortly, having already purchased several farms in that state. Rev. F. M. Elliott, of Crawfordsville, addressed a Union meeting, at the Christian church, Sunday afternoon, in the interests of the Children’s Home Society, of Chicago, of which he is an assistant secretary. The object of the society is to find good homes, in families, for homeless children. It is a most commendible organization and is doing much good work.

It is said that in Goodland, which is getting such a big reputation for its cheap electric lights, that the lights are all shut down at midnight, and that consequently those whose evil inclinations lead them to prefer darkness rather than light, have the latter half of the night for their own especial use. This fact of early shutting off, if fact it be, will also account for a good deal of Goodland’s “cheapness” in the electric light line. In Rensselaer the lights run until daylight, good and strong. All night lights are a good thing to keep the streets lighted till morning, also to keep at least one light in every business room, and besides great use is made of the lights in the morning, especially in the winter, in families. A. Ettlinger, of Joliet, 111., has been buying large numbers of fresh milch cows and fat cattle in this vicinity for some time. Parties having cows or fat stock for sale will do well to see Mr. Ettlinger, at the Makeever House, Rensselaer, or his agent, Wm. Ervine.
