Dr. Albion J. Miller To Leave Rensselaer.

Dr. Albion J. Miller, for several years a physician of this city, has decided to remove so another location, where he considers the opportunity better for building up a paying practice. He is not at liberty, he says; at this time to give the name of the town where he will locate, but he considers his opportunity there to he first class. The field about Rensselaer has been overcrowded with young men in active practice and while ~ Dr7~Miller Has had RHarge.jJieiitfileJieJias.JiQt. succeeded as well as he had hoped. This city was his boyhood home and he acquired his education under the greatest difficulties, but with commendable grit he earned his-way through medical college. He first located at Dyer and then moved to this city, where he has been for the past five years. He contemplates leaving here on the *2 o’clock train, Saturday, May Ist. His decision to leave will be regretted by his many friends and the friends of his family.

PIANO FACTORY IS A GOOD THING

Fred Phillips aqd A. F. Long Like the Latest Thing Offered Us In Factory Line. Fred Phillips and A. F. Long were very favorably impressed with a factory proposition which they went to Chicago to investigate Wednesday anfl came home very enthusiastic about the matter. " The factory they went to see is the Marquette Piano Co., manufacturers -particularly of -a piano playeiv-whicb-is the invention of the man at the head of the factory. * The company also manufactures pianos and has been in business for the past four years. It is doing a good business and Messrs. Phillips and Long found forty men at work. They are in crowded quarters and as they Want to enlarge their biisiness they are anxious to get outside the city, and it is probable that Rensselaer can secure them by donating them a factory site and erecting them a building at a cost of about $15,000. No definite proposition came from them, but it is thought that this is about the amount they will require. They have been negotiating with one or two other commercial clubs but will probably come to Rensselaer and look the town over about the Ist of May. They will enter more extensively into the piano manufacture and will probably employvfrom 60 to 100 men within a year or two and the proprietor feels certain that he could guarantee that within two years he wduld have 150 men working at the factory. The piano player, Mr. Phillips says, is the finest manufactured. A meeting of the commercial club will probably be called to consider the matter, and it is probable that one of the pianos and players , will be shipped here and be placed on exhibition at Mr. Phlllipq’ store.

Some Happenings Over the County of Jasper.

Henry Misch, the assessor of Wheatfield township, has made a record for getting through with the labors of listing property in this county, having completed it Wednesday and filed his report Thursday with County Assessor Lewis. It is well and neatly done. His object in expediting the work was to permit-him to accept a position with the government surveying corps, and he will leave for Oklahoma next Monday, where he has been assigned for work. Lambert Collins, the assessor bf Kankakee township, has been sick and unable to pursue his work and now be has asked that a deputy be approved to complete his assessment Qf property. County Assessor Lewis pent a bond to Mr. Collins to have filled out for his deputy. As the time is short the deputy will have to hustle to get all the property listed by the first of June. James Rodgars, the assessor of GUlam township, was in tpwn Thursday to secure an order of the court to have the sheriff sent to Medaryville to look over the bank books of that place for evidence of sequestered money, not given In for assessment. He had already secured an order of the Pulaski court. He is of the opinion that certain Glllam parties have failed to give in their Hooper in bank for assessment. A number of remonstrators against their assessments in the Kirkpatrick ditch mot in Rensselaer Thursday and occupied the office of County Assessor L*vl« jfhUe trying to harmonise their objections and in an effort to
