Bicycle Repairs of All Kinds.

Riders of bicycles in Rensselaer and surrounding country, as well as towns adjoining, should understand that they do not have to send their wheels away to have them repaired, or to have broken or worn out parts replaced. A.X. Willis, the old experienced gun and lock-smith, of Rensselaer, is now prepared to do all work m the bicycle repair line, in a neat reliable and workmanlike manner. He keeps on hand wood and steel rims, rubber tires, inner tubes, spokes, nipples, valves, stems, cement of all kinds; in fact is fully prepared to repair any ordinary break in bicycles, and at prices which the same repairs would cost at the factory, and the customer is thus saved the cost of expressage, and also the delay when the wheels are sent away or repairs ordered from a distance. Patronize home institutions and save time and money in so doing.

W. S. Sanders, who has been here with a feather renovater for the past few weeks, left this week for Rensselaer where he will engage in the same business. Sanders is one of the kind of fellows that when he comes among you, you want to keep him. His work has been first-class and we believe he could always secure a patronage here if there was any to do. He will return again and has made a reputation that will secure him a welcome and business. It pays to deal with the people as Sanders does so that they are always glad to see you come back.—Veedersberg News. Estey organs and pianos, and Estey A Camp organs and pianos, on exhibition at C.

Our DeMotte correspondent seems jealous about the broad imaginations of their correspondent to the Wheatfield Sheaf. “Stick to the truth” is his motto. “Verily! Verily! Cast the big beam out of thine own eye so that thou canst see clearly to see the mote that is in thy neighbor’s eye.” For instance the seven babies bom in DeMotte since July Ist. Now we are willing to recognize their great ability of improvement in that line, but the fact is that the majority of the alleged babies were in our town celebrating the Fourth on that day and were large Enough to “Hurrah.” Do not go beyond the history of your town. A noble maxim. “Stick to the truth.”

We will soon have a new trustee and we hope that he will open our school-houses for public worship granting equal rights to all and special privileges to none. An Illinois man was in our town this week. He said he came out to look after a farm which he purchased 1877, but as he had never seen the land he bought he feared he would have some trouble finding it. He did find it however in Section 3 of Walker Tp. He is the happy owner of the sand ridge known as King hill, Mr. Jensen, of Chicago was in Dunnville Thursday, We see the Pilot states that Rensselaer has the best choir in the state.

Mrs. Seomo is the guest of Mrs. C. Rasmerson. Turner and Jackson who purchased a new thresher last year had so much trouble with it they had to report to the Company of whom Uey purchased for help to run the thing.

Mrs. Hilderbseth and Mrs. Amburg are the guests of Mrs. P. Behles.

N This is encour-' ageing news to our citizens, if it proves to be a positive fact. Mr. David Winslow, Section Boss, on the C. 4 E. I. R’y met with: an accident on the night of the 22nd of

July, 1895. He had been contemplating of his present] position and bis responsibilities all] daylong. Worn out with toil and] care he arrived home Ma h’ B 8Uf ‘ prise about 60 people, old and young bad taken possession of his premises. In the front room ha. noticed an elegant new rocking chair, he then circled to the left and marched by the right flank movement and tried to surround the fort, but lo and behold there stood the table loaded with lovely cake and delicious ice cream. What could he do? double quick time and he charged for the kitchen, he looked with astonishment at the large quantities of cake and a multifarious diversity of ice cream. He had been a soldier in the army, remembered how he drew his rations there. Finally an explanation by his friends convinced him that he was 45 years old, and ah unconditional surrender of bis premises for the evening was expected. Negotiations for peace was speedily effected Everybody enjoyed themselves and wonderful harmony pervaded the home of Mr. and Mrs. Winslow.

The Fisher Inquest.

Coroner Wright completed his hearing m the inquest over Benjamin Fisher, whose accidental death was detailed last week, last Wednesday afternoon, and handed in his verdict Saturday. —-About only points of evidence, of interest, and not reported last week, were given by S. A. Royster, the night operator. He talked with Engineer Taylor, on that gentleman’s first return trip, and the engineer told him that Fisher was “pretty well between the ties” and he did not see him until within a few feet. James Maloy, who was recalled, testified to hearing the engineer say this to the night operator.

T. J. McGowan, who examined the scene of the accident the same evening, confirmed the evidence of several others as to the indications that Fisher was busy working when struck, and was dragged about 35 yards. The following was the finding of Coroner Wright: State of Indiana, ) oc County of Jasper, j ’ I, the undersigned, Truitt P. Wright, Coroner in and for said County do publish the following as my verdict in the case of Benjamin F. Fisher. It iff my judgment that the said Benjamin F. Fisher came to his death on account of injuries received upon We track of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago R’y., on the 19th day of July, 1895, about the hour of .0:30 A. M., and at a place about one lalf mile south of the station of Surrey on said Railroad; that he was struck by an engine of said Railway Co., upon which engine Wm. F. Taylor was engineer. I further find that if said Fisher was engaged in his usual duties as section hand upon said railroad and that at the time he was struck by said engine was engaged in shoveling gravel and ballasting said track, that the said engineer and said Railway were free from fault. If on the other hand said Fisher was lying unconscious between the rails of said rack, that said engineer and said Railway Co, were guilty of negligence in not slacking up said engine and train so as to protect said object and said Fisher. Truitt P. Wright, Coroner Jasper County.
