The new flag, which will be the old one reorganized and officially recognized after July 4, 1896, by order of the war department, will consist of six rows of stars, eight stars in the first, fourth and six’h and seven in each of the other three rows. The 45 stars represent each of the several states, it eluding Utah.

| No intox eating liquors are to be | used as a beverage on the state soldiers’ home grounds at Lafayette nor sold there and smoking is restricted to certain quarters. Each inmate must bathe once a week at least, parlor matches cannot be used on the premises, male inmates must wear uniforms, and pensioners getting s6per month or over must purchase their own clothing. The annual report o! Purdue university shows that 552 young men and seventy-eight young women attended the university last year. Fifty seven took the agricultural course, 123 the mechanical engineering course, sixty the course in civil, engineering, 176 the course in electrical engineering and fifty-seven the course in veterinary science. One who has tried it says it pays to cultivate wheat. In the experiment, this farmer removed every other fluke from his drill, thus sowing double the quantity. He then cultivated the wheat after the spring rains and was rewarded with forty bushels to the acre, while the remainder of the field sown in the ordinary way only yieldel twenty to the acre.

John K/Gowdy, of Rushville, was re-elected chairman of the Republican strte central committee, at a meeting of the committee at Indianapolis, Tuesday. This result Will be very gratifying to Jasper county Republicans, almost to a man. Mr. Gowdfy w&s brought up in the vicinity of Rensselaer. Mr. Gowdy was elected by acclamation, the name of Mr. Nebeker not being presented. The Republican state convention will be held May 7th. . “My children,” asked the Sunday school teacher of a class of little ones, “can you tell me who led the people of Israel out of Egypt and through the wilderness?” The answer was not forthcoming as the earnest questioner ran down the class. At the last he pointed to a half-scared boy and repeated the question. “Wasn’t me; my folks jist moved from Missouri last week.” Attorney T. S. Fancher, of Crown Point, has commenced proceedings for another great Kankakee ditch, which he says will complete the drainage in that territory. The canal will begin pn the north shore at the county line, between Lake and Porter. It will be ten miles long, and with all the dirt thrown on the east side of the ditch, along the county line, and on the south side down the river, it is expected to .keep all the overflow of the river from the marsh this side.—Valparaiso Messenger. _

An exchange thinks that the factthat horses are not now being raised in as large numbers as before is sure evidence that in a few years they will be scarce and high, and that a great many farmers who have given up the raising of horses and sheep will scon have an opportunity to regret their action. It is the law of supply and demand that as an article becomes scarce .its price increases, and the reaction will soon come. This will especially be the case with sheep when the Republicans restore the tariff on wool. »•

There will be thousands old style bicycles thrown upon the market, this spring, to be sold at about one-third their former price, but the up-to-date wheel, known as the pattern of ’96 will command from S7O to SIOO each. Improvements are constantly being made, but wheii the patents expire and all the new ideas are utilized a good wheel will be within reach of the poorest people,

The Messenger gives the following as a sample of a Valyaraiso man’s lack: “A man who believes in the old saying ‘see a pin and pick it up; and all day long you’ll have good luck,’ saw a pin in front of the postoffice this morning. Bending down to get it his hat tumbled off and rolled into the ditch; his eyeglasses fell and broke on the pavement, his suspenders gave way behind; he burst the button hole on the back of his shirt collar, and he all but lost his new false teeth. -- Miss Louisa MutweilCr, post mistress at Georgetown, lad., for fifteen years, has lost her job. Recently a postal inspector visited the office and found that she was addicted to the morphine habit, and that for ten years past she had allowed the mail to accumulate in the office without making an effort to deliver it. Over twenty bushels of letters and papers were found in boxes under the counters of the store. She will not be prosecuted, as she is supposed to le insane.

According to an exchange the Small Brothers, publishers of the late Saturday Night Review, of Logansport, late deceased, are now fully persuaded that the number 13 is indeed a hoodoo of the most pernicious, and insidious quality. The paper made its appearance on the 13 th day of the month, it was the thirteenth newspaper in Logansport, it suspended publication on the thirteenth number of the Becond volume, the proprietors resided on Thirteenth Street and the night they decided to suspend publication they sat down to supper with thirteen at the table.

Paris Exposition companies are being organized in various places. The plan is for a given number of young men to pay a stipulated price per month into a common treasury until the spring of 1900 when it will aggregate a sufficient sum to pay the expenses of each one of the members to attend the Paris exposition if he wishes to, if not he can draw out his money and use it for any other purpose. Some arrangement of that kind could be made profitable in Rensselaer. It would at least prove tr Wim young men what an easy matter it is to save money if they will determine to do so. The price the average smoker pays for cigars would enable him to do the Paris Exposition in great shape.

Mary L. Clark, whose sickness was lately mentioned in this paper, died last Sunday evening, at the home of her uncle Mr. Henry Mackey, in the east part of town. The cause of her death was consumption. Her age was 12 years and 9 months. She was the daughter of H. B. Clark, of Gerdon, Ark., but her health being poor in the south, she came to Rensselaer last September to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Mackey. Funeral services were held at the Christian church, Monday morning, after which the remains were taken to Attica, Mr. Mackey’s former home, for interment. Mr. Clark, the dead child’s father arrived in time to attend the funeral but too late to see her alive. Her mother has been dead a number of yew»*

Please do not ask it. 1 Provisions of Law Relating to Taxation; “The owner of property on the first day of April of any year shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser on the first day of April shall be considered the owner on that day.” Purchasers of PERSONAL Property as well as Real Estate should remember that ‘TAXES FOLLOW THE PROPERTY when the taxes thereon remain unpaid. ‘COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes cannot be paid without settlement of the taxes.’ % tefrak, ‘lt is the duty of the TAX-PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires to pay taxes, in whose name assessed and in what township or town it was assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from the tax-payer’s omission to so state.’ q The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of April of that year and unchanged a® taxed. Transfers after the first day of April of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes. * - Those who pay taxes on property in trust, and whose taxes are complicated suck as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid the rush of the last few days, as it requires time to m&k* the divisions and separate receipts. ROAD RECEIPTS must be presented in payment of FIRST INSTALLMENT. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY of FEBRUARY, 1896. J. C. SWIN. County Treasurer.
