The school teachers from over the county are present in praotically full force, today, to attend the annual 2 days meeting of the Jasper County Teachers’ Association. A novel tend no and profitable plan has-been adopted, for today, whereby.the Rensselaer city schools continue their regular work, and the visiting teachers from the rest of the county, spend their time visiting them and obseving their work. That fake wholesale cattle stealing story, from Jasper and White counties, which we copied a short time ago from an Indianapolis paper, and corrected, continues to extend and develope. It finally took the definite shape by fixing the number of cattle stolen, at 200, the loss at $15,000 and A. McCoy, the unfortunate loser. As we said before, there was no truth in the story, and the only which could even have suggested it, was the shipping away by Wm. Tanner of the Qattle iu his care, as related at the time and Mr. McCoy had no interest in any of those. Mr. McCoy has been bearing from the story until he is tired of it. The last time he had heard from it, it had reached Kansas City, and was still traveling. ■ SATURDAY M. F. Chilcote is in Chicago today.

The latest reports from Ed Mills of Purdue University, now sick with diptheria, are that he is out of danger and is expected to make a rapid recovery. He is at St. Elizabeth’s hospital. There was one other case at the University. Fowler Republican.—lt is ported that one of our Fowler school-marms was married at Rensselaer on Thanksgiving, and some of the small boys went up to charivari her three times last Monday night. She will say nothing herself, but if it be so, why here are congratulations,'aud we want to say that the fellow whoever he is, has got one of the most intelligent dearest little schoolmarms in this part of the state. Again, and for the third time this year, if we remember rightly, Rensselaer has lost its oldest male resident, by death; and the remark applies also to the whole of Jasper county. Uncle Micah Sayler, was we believe, the oldest man in Jasper county. His age was 88 years, 1 month and 14 days. There are at least two women in the county who are older. Grandmother Callow, in Rensselaer, is some months over 88, while “Granny Wilkins,” as she is called of Remington is over 100 years old. There was a very large audience at the opera house last night, to hear H. W. J. Ham, the “.southern orator and humorist,” and the second number of this season’s lectura course. He is a good deal of an orator, but he is a whole lot more of a humorist. In fact as an entertainer he is just about incomparable, and we doubt if, on the whole, a better pleased audience ever went away from the opera house. He will be at Goodland, tonight. The visiting teachers attended theiecture in large numbers. The county superintendent called the attention of the new trustees to the fact that no teacher in the public schools should permit pupils to go about the school premises and remain in the school room in a dirty, slovenly condition It is very disgusting and obnoxious to those who keep themselves neat and tidy, and where unclean pupils are constantly in the same room with others, it is a fruitful source of disease. Let the teachers insist that the pupils keep clean. Parents must not forget the very important part they play in this matter: —Fowler Republican. There is something very touching in the sweet and child-like simplicity with which our brother the Reformer tells us that he didn’t known ‘how to charge for the county ballots, even after the work was all done, Very touching indeed that he should not know how to fix. a fair price on a job, even after all these years he has been running a print shop. Poor Bab! Poor Bab! He is one of the guileless ones of earth, for a fact! But if he don’t know how to charge for job printing himself he knew mighty well where to find some one who did. when he called Harry Strollm. Harry can charge all right, for a fact. He is a pastmaster in the art, of charging; and especially when the public has to pay the bill. MONDAY. Wm. Washburn is transacting business in Knox today. G. K. Hollingsworth is in Monticello on business this afternoon. Hiram Day is at Parr building a brick engine room for W. C. Babcock’s elevator, at that place. Remember the Methodist ladies serve their famous annual dinners and suppers next Thursday at Liberal Corner.

Mahan, who has been the guest since Wednesday, of her mother Mrs. James Donnelly, returned home today. Verne Robinson left Saturday night for Washington, D. C., where he has a position in the Government Printing office. Mrs. Lizzie Hitchcock, whose health has not been good for somo time, went to Chicago this morning to consult a lung specialist Bartlett and May gave their play “A Woman in the Case” to a fair Sized audience, at the opera house, Saturday evening. It is a burlesque show and a very good one in its line. The Maccabee Ladies of Rensselaer “Hive” held a special meeting Friday evening for initiatory and degree work, and expect to initiate a number as their next meeting night also. Mr and Mrs. Alton Meek and children, of Brookston, who have been attending the Chicago Stock Show, stopped here for a few days visit with her mother, Mrs. A. E. Brown, and sister, Mrs. A. K. Yeoman, returning home Saturday evening. L. B. Josserand, of near McCoysburg, has rented out the cultivated portion of his big farm, and will therefore make a public sale on Dec. 19th It will be the biggest sale of the season, so far, and the stock and implements offered are also of the beat quality. George Strickfaden has gone to Chicago today to make final * arrangements for the old men’s championship game of bowling, between W. N. Jones, of Rensselaer, and Mr. Hoyt, of Chicago. The game will take place at Hammond, and it is expected to have a match between the Hammond and Rensselaer teams, at the same time. A While going down the last flight of steps into the basement last Friday afternoon at the new school house, some 10 or 15 girls fell, all in a bunch. One of them, Nellie Moody received a badly sprained ankle, which will lay her up for some time. Another, Florence Sayler, had her face quite badly bruised and skinned.
