Jim Maloy has a new race horse. Iris and dandelions are in bloom. This is the pleasantest day of this seasoh. Two funerals were held in Rensselaer last Saturday. J. I. Purcnpile <fc Co. have 200 barrels of salt for sale. Seven criminal causes are docketed for trial in court next week. ■ Fine red-horse are now caught by those who fish on the Iroquois rapids. Rolls of salt stuck together with •a little butter sell for 25 cents a jpound in Rensselaer. Ladies can get any kind of head■gear, from a wire hairpin to a S2O hat at Mrs. Halstead’s store. The regular May term of the Jasper county Circuit Court will commence its session next week. Marshall P. Warner starts next Monday for Idaho, to spend the summer months in the hill country. Horace E. James is a candidate for Clerk of Jasper county, subject to nomination by the people at their Primary Election on the 33th instant. If they do not trim ladies’ hats and bonnets in neat and becoming taste at Purcupile’s millinery store, then are we no judge of such matters. Mr. David Nbwels and Mr. Isaac V. Alter were parties in a personal encounter with fists, which occurred in Justice Harding’s office last Friday. A company of halT a dozen or so gentlemen have about matured plans for holding a horse fair at Rensselaer on the 2d, 3d, and 4th days of July. Norman Warner has moved his stock of farm hardware and tin ware into the room in Liberal Corner building recently, by C. C. Starr. Madam, you can have that ugly, yellow, old hat nicely bleached, pressed, trimmed over and made as neat as new, at Mrs. Halstead's millinery shop. Dr. Patton, of Remington, lias formed a partnership with Dr. J. S. Hood, of Kentucky, for the practice of medicine and surgery at. Remington and in the surrounding region. Why permit your poor, patient wife, to go bare headed and bare, footed, when Purcupiles offer ladies’ shoes and ladies’ hats and bonnets so cheap? Should think you would be ashamed of yourself! The Central Committee of the People’s party will hold a session in the Court House Saturday afternoon of this week, to make preliminary arrangements for holding their Primary Election on the 30th instant. Notice is given by the Auditor that on Monday the first day of June, the Board of Equalization of Jasper county will meet in his office. Any who have greviances that may be redressed by this Board, should be ready to present them for hearing and decision at that time. The corporation election of last Monday excited interest enough to bring 114 voters to the polls. It resulted in the choice of G. W. Terhune, G. A. Moss, E. L. Clark, Peter Rhoads and J. M. Hopkins for trustees, Thos. O. Chesnut, treasurer, N. W. R.’eve, clerk, and P. Dunlap, assessor.” * - Those are mighty mean youths who enter a man’s premises, throw down his outhouses, dig up his garden, trample down his shrubbery, cut to pieces his property and throw portions of it into the river, only for fun because he is a “d-d Jew,” yet just such mean youngsters live and “cut up” in Rensselaer. The largest stock, most extensive assortment, best quality and cheapest boots and shoes for tnen, in Jasper county can be seen at J. J. Purcupile & Co.’s store in Rensselaep ’J’his is susceptable of demonstration, and there is no need of .going barefoot, unless you prefer ’to do so. » Nine out of every ten persons whom we have heard express an opinion upon the subject, speak in pojnmendation of the People’s! platform, published in these col-I unins last'week. From present indications if she Primary Election on the 30th instant results in nominating a good ticket, t tierce is no doubt of the Movement having a successful issue in October.

It is probable that the Auditor will call together the board of Commissioners in special session on Wednesday, the 13th instant, to consider the petition of the Jasper ; County Ditching Association to appoint a board of three appraisers to assess benefits and damages to lands arising from the proposed operations of the company. Go to Mrs. D. T. Halstead’s new millenery establishment for bargains in corsets, gloves, hose, ruches, handkcrchifs plain or fancy, pins, needles, hooks and eyes, combs/ thread, hair ornaments, dress trimings, silk floss, , braid, bustles, hoop skirts, and muslin trimmings of all kinds.

Martin, the adopted daughter of one Woosely in Milroy township, went before Justice Jeffries at Remington last week and made deposition to thq effect that she discovered herself in the unfortunate condition of maidens that have loved, not wisely, but too well; also that Thomas Sayler, of Newton township, who taught school last winter in the district where she lived, was author of that particular event now begiuiug to cast a shadow o’er her pathway. The necessary documents, in such cases made and provided, were issued and placed in the hands of Constable Pierce for service. But ere that worthy officer could propure an interview with Thomas, he had been warned by a courier of approaching danger, and departed without leaving his prospective postoffice address. It is reported that as sooi} as i| became known that Thomas had traveled, not less than three little black valises were gnpapked and their contents spread out to a,r, while their owners mentally exclaimed, ’lis conscience makes cowards of us all.
