4iat time- it may be a good plan to put them ou h ; s track. They are used to kicking Philippine Ladrones oat of worse hiding places than that. Uncle David Hilton, whose home is broken up by the death of his wife, has not folly decided on his future plans. However he intends to divide his household effects between his two daughters, at Chicago and DeMotte, and will visit with {them for some time. Later he hopes to get transferred from the state soldiers home at Lafayette to the national home at Marion, in which case he will spend most of his time at the latter place. There is a streak of country up in Barkley, in the region of J. N. Baker’s place where all the rains have missed them, pretty nearly, and even on Sunday night they got hardly more than enough to lay the dust. On Mrs. Mary Nichols’ faim a sort of peat bed got on fire in April, from a brush fire, and there has not been rain enough since to put the fire out, aud it is still burning. All persons who hunt oat of the township they live in must have an annual license, and which costs one dollar. Applications for these licenses must be made on blanks of a*regular form which are furnished by Z. T. Sweeney, state game and fish commissioner, of Columbus, Ind. Asa matter of convenience to would-be applicants, Mr. Sweeney has sent a supply of these blanks to The Republican and anyone can procure one by calling at this office.

Today was western excursion day and the usual large number left here. C. J. Deau and his brother-in law, Wm Vedder, went to Mitchell and other points in South Dakota, and Miss Oka Pan coast went to Waverly in that state. Misses Bessie Burk, Clara Parker and Harriet Sayler went to Denver and other places in Colorado, and Zern Wright went to Gettysburg, S. Dak. He has gone ouly on a short pleasure trip. The intelligence came by telegraph, today, of the death at four o’clock this morning, at Brunswick, Ga., of Mrs. Amelia Brochardt, sister of Ralph aud Nathan Fendig, ot our city. Her death was evidently very sadden as the first notice that she was sick came in a telegram Monday, while a letter written only a day or two before contained no mention of her being in anything but good health. Her age was about 62 years. She never made her home here, though being an occasional visitor, the last time being three years ago.

The U. 8. regulars who are marching on Jasper county camped last night down near tne south end of Jackson Park, where the Chicago world's fair was. Tonight they will be at fi’th street, and their next jump will land them over into Indiana, where their first camp will be at Gibson, southeast of Hammond. Their band gives concerts every evening, and perhaps will favor Rensselaer people in that way, when they get here. They appear to get up and start on their marchs before daylight every morning, aud complete their day’s stunt by noon, aud thus have all the afternoon to rest.

“Comrade Fox, the mail-carrier'’ is no more, and now he is simply Charley Fox, the section man. Comrade’s fall from his high estate as an official of the United States government down to the position of a not less useful but still far less glorious station of a gravel picker and spike drivertbr a railroad company, has been gradual but,sure. It began when he lost the contract for carrying the mails from the depot to the post office, some months ago. and after all, when that was lost all was lost. For when he could uo longer make his spectacular hourly or bi hourly dashes through town behind his little flea-bitten roan broncho, it spelled “lehabod. the glory has departed” for Com rade. He still had the job of carry ing the daily mail to Aix. though there was no glory and but little lucre in that job, and now the last blow has fallen, and that.too, has been taken from him. The department has issued „ notice that after this week, there will be no V> ‘ ’ •'! . T y
