the church, but we would suggest, for
the comforts Of its attendants, that a

Piper, who came from Illinois with
us and helped run The REPUBLICAN
for eight months. He Is in the Ledger
Office at Fairfield. Iowa. He writes
that he Is feeling well and doing well.

ID. s. Conger, one OF the old SET
tiers, who by hard work has obtained
competency. made us pleasant
call Saturday. Mr.. Conger is still
active and energetic, and will do
three times the work that can be got
| out Of those fellows that always claim
to be out Of employment because
there is no work to do.

Somebody telegraphed from
Rochester to the Indianapolis Jour.

black mailer and a liar" but IL Is
evident that some OF the women
down there are not very sweet" to-
wards the Major.
"A subscriber asks the Indianapo-
lis Journal il there Is any process by
which rancid butter can be made
sweet, and is told that the rancid
taste cannot be wholly removed but
th.t by boiling the butter and care
fully removing the scum which arises
1t can be very much improved. An-
other process Is to wash IL In a weak
brine OF pure salt. but the first method
Is probably the best.

The Mishawaka Enterprise says !:
There seems TO be a general grow
ing impression up la this portion OF
our Congressional District. that Henry
G.. Thayer. OF Marshall county. Is the
man whom the Republicans want for
their next Representative. II 1t Is
possible to elect Republican Ia this
District next year, Mr.. Thayer Is the
man to insure the biggest vote. His

but 1t is claimed that he could rely
upon a majority Of all the votes cast,
were he nominated"
