Leroy Thomas who has been visiting his mother, the widow Thomas, of this place, for several months fast, has returned to his home in South Dakota. ~ _ Evangelist Bischcff closed his ser ies of successful meetings at the Presbyterian church, last evening. His next appointment is at Springfield, Jff. ' -

Mr. and Mrs. Watson, the evangelists, closed their meetings at the M. E. church, Tuesday night. The meetings have resulted in 50 additions to the membership of the church; a very notable increase. The evangelists have returned to their lome, Paoli, Orange Co., this state. A cordial and unanimous call to ;he pastorate of the Presbyterian church of Rensselaer, was tendered to Rev. M. R. Paradis, some time ago. He will giye his answer to the call next Sunday night, And preach a sermon appropriate to the occasion. Communion services will be held in the morning, at which service Baptism will be administered, and new members will be publicly received. We regret to have to announce that our old and much esteemed 'townsman, Henry Bruce, will probab’y have departed this life by the

time this paper reaches the majority of our readers. He had been staying with his sons at Lawrence, Kans,, all winter, and at Kansas City, Mo., oq Ins way home, was taken sick with cholera morbus, at the home of a nephew. His daughter,.Mrs. Barcus, of Rensselaer, was called to his side, and a letter written by her Monday, i;o her husband, states that his case is evidently hopeless, and that death was expected within a very few days.

Governor Matthews made his appointment, last Saturday, of a Proso ecu ting Attorney for this judicial circuit, to succeed the late T. C Annabal, of Goodland, deceased, and his choice fell upon none other than our own townsman, James W. Douthit. Of the various applicants for the appointment, Mr. Douthit is certainly as capable as any, and much more so than most of them. The David Bennett Hill style of Mr. Douthit’s Democracy no doubt had also much to do with influencing the Governor’s decision in - his favor. Mr. Douthit is the first Democratic

prosecutor this Circu t ever had, as at present constituted. He will serve until his successor is elected in 1896. I. M. Patehett, of Lte, Indiana offers Lis services as an expert pruner and planter of fruit trees, shrubs, vines, <fcc. The present month is the proper season for pruning vines. Satisfaction guaranteed, in work and prices. Address liim at Lee.

The Citizens State Bank is now a thing of the past, after an existence of about 16 years. Most of that time it did a good business, and when the fatal panic of 1893 came it was in the very highest tide of prosperity. Then its supposed close connection with the failed Columbia bank and the Dwiggins Syndicate caused such a run on its deposits that only the most strenuous exertions and honor able sacrifices upon the part of the president and other officials, saved it from total ruin. As it was, its business was so badly injured that its final retirement has been about the only course open to it. But it retires honorably, and no one loses by its retirement. It deserved a better fate.'

Millinery Opening.

Mrs. l/m. Imes desires to announce to the ladies of Rensselaer and vicinity, that her Grand Spring Opening of Millinery will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 11th, 12th, 13tb. Don’t forget the dates.

■~~High authorities-.in the wild animal line differ as greatly as common people in regard to the real character of oPthat alleged wolf scalp, from Union Tp., mentioned some time Gne day last w cek, fur instance, P. G. Barker, of Newton Co., a redoubt'able burner and a slaver of multitadipous wolves, and a worthy son of “Old Sam Barker,’’himself, was shown the scalp, ah (The at once declared it was no wolf, but a fox. As it happened another hunter of no Jess re-

nown, from Lake Co., was present, and he said that though he had not had so much experience with wolves, but he had killed 50 foxes, and this scalp he declared was no fox; and the mystery of the scalp still remains unsolved. Mrs. Mary Kroeger has filed suit for divorce, and for a settlement of property troubles, against Frederick Kroeger, one of the leading “Reformers” of Walker tp. They were both “widders” when they were married* and have no children by this second

union. The plaintiff is the monied member as well as the working member of this matrimonial firm; and she has supported the defendant and endured his abuse as long as she can stand it. She says he Is a habitual drunkard, and has been for years; that he calls her vile names ; takes away her property, and otherwise conducts himself in the superlative degree of “omariness.’ ’ The same couple had trouble over property in the court last summer. Theodore C. Potter, a very recent graduate, of Judge Wiley’s divorce academy, was married last Thursday night, to Miss Lottie Turner, at the residence of the bride’s father, Luke Turner. Sijuire W. H. Churchill performing the ceremony. Mr. Potter has been “Pottering” around the Turner domicile with more persistency of late than was strictly in consonance with the highest apparent rectitude of intentions, and it is intimated that moral suasion would be scarcely strong enough a name to apply to the preSsure that was brought to bear upon him,whereby was greatly accelerated a marriage which, otherwise, might have tarried till the robins nested agarn, several times over, or even been postponed indefinitely. The newly married couple have settled upon C. C. Sigler’s farm, near DeMotte.

One day last week Isaac Parson Jr., son of Isaac Parson Sr., of the Monon News, went down to Monticeilo, and under the observing and critical eye of his father, the afore said Isaac Sr., he handsomely thrashed Orville Rothrock, the young man who, some weeks ago, horsewhipped C. C. French, of the Brookston Reporter, and on the same day, greivously insulted and threatened the elder Parsons; and all on account of those? those two editors having commented somewhat freely upon the characteristics of their deceased editorial brother, John Rothrock, of the Monticello Democrat, and father of Orville. The cause of the thrashing Just administered to young RtAhroek by young Parsons, was the said insults and threats to the senior Parsons. as already mentioned.

Still the buying and selling of Rensselaer business property keeps active, and Van Rensselaer is a storm storm center of buying and selling and building this spring. Two important deals were consummated on that street, the latter part of last week, not counting the arrangement made by Jerry Healy for putting the Hyland building on his lot. B. For-

sythe “rounded out” his building site, by buying of J. F. Iliff a 19 foot strip lying along the north side of his I recently purchased Halloran corner, paying for the same SSO a front foot. And thereby set a new mark for the value of side street frontage. The strip contains the shed portion of Mr. Iliff’s livery stable, and this building Mr. Iliff reserve?. Following this deal, or concurrently with it, was the purchase by Mr. Iliff of Dexte & Cox, their lot and building just, north of his stable. The lot is 50 feet by 150 feet deep, and the exact price is not stated, as the machinery <fcc., went with the trade. 1 Dexter <k Cox will remain on the lot for a few months, and then continue their coal bnd wool business in some other location. Mr. Iliff contemplates building a big livery barn on the new lot, next year, and the turning of his present barn into a farm implement warehouse.

THE SLICKEST SCHEME YET.

That "Free Conceit" [iy the Come Ilanil. Fulls in TTvo Hundred Dollars. ■ y • ■ ■'y- ■: - '.. ■ ~~~~ Nothing draws like a tree show. The entertainment given by th< RensseLaefCof net Baa'iUlasi' Wednes day night, was Free with a big F And it Drew with a big D. It drew to beat a 100 ton Mogul engine, a prickly porous sticking plaster, or a t venty-four per cent, judgement note. v

It drew 500 people to start with, and pretty soon it drew a dollar, on the average, from every one of the five hundred people. And this is how it was done: “Old Brer Rabbit, he lay low,”'as as Uncle Remus says. So also “Old Brer Weaver,” the band master, he lay low. Bui he kept up a “dell of thinking.’’ And he devised a “free entertainment’ - and it was a dickHailing good one too. And it was a great snap for the people. And they came by the hundreds, and th£y enjoyed the beautiful music, and the artistic exercises, and suspected naught of the wily scheme that had been laid to catch their more or less willing or elusive dollars. But by and by Rev. B. F. Ferguson arose to respond to the subject, “The Band.” In his own eloquent and inimitable manner, he explained what a fine thing for a town like ours a good band is, what a fine band we might have with the proper encouragement; how great was the need of new instruments and handsome uniforms, and then he asked the people to raise SSOO, to be used in the manner indicated. The size of the sum asked for quite took the breath from every person in the audience, except from one fellow in the gallery, who had, wind enough left for a long, low whistle. And the whistle brought down the house. All the same, the sympathies of the people were with the movement and pretty soon Tom McCoy, in front as always, started the ball rolling with a $25 subscription. Geo. Strickfaden and Geo. Hollingsworth, were right after him, with equal sums. C. C. Sigler, with the grace of long experience, then came into the jack-pot with S2O. Then Robt. Randle and B. F. Ferguson sized up to the sls mark. Then “Nehimiah” became tenhigh Meyer, and then Ellis <fe Murray, The Model, Sayler46 Collins, M. L. Spitler and about all the lodges and social organizations in the town, got in on the ground floor, at the same $lO figure. Then followed such a rush of fives, and threes and twos and ones, together with .a liberal hat collection, that the whole sum then and there contributed was about $419. The next few days, subscriptions of parties not present raised the whole fund to $540, —and it is now in order for the man in the gallery to withdraw his whistle.

The band boys fed good over this magnificent donation, and well they may. But they deserve it and will make good use of it. They also feel properly grateful and thgy want The Rerliimcan to say so. They want to thank everybody that helped the good work; and with a double measure of thanks to Rev. Ferguson. We understand that a full list of subscriptions is being prepared, for publication next week.
