lone Of the best -four mills in South
ern Indiana, its capacity being about
75 barrels Of -four per day. 1t is
owned by two as straight and square
business men as the world contains
MIR. Edward A. Bohnert and Mr..
Albert Bohnert, brothers, and ma
tives Of Jasper, Who conduct the
business under the firm name of
Bohncrt Brothers. They are sons
of the late Wendolin Bohnert,
sturdy blacksmith and farmer, and
one Of the pioneers of the town, who
died Feb. 10, 1876. The mill also
grinds corn, and the firm deals
largely in grain and seeds in addi-
ton to their milling. They handled
last year 10000 bushels Of grain,
and shipped 200 cars Of -four, wheat
and seed, the business aggregating
probably $4,000. The owners were
both farmers when they bought the
mill in 1890.

Miss Theresa Eckstein, and has two
both boys.

Dubois county to the front Of com

in making Jasper the jewel of the
State for hcalthfulncss, and busi-

The records of the Board of Health
show hat the deaths in Jasper in
1892 were Ii, and in 1893 only III.
or only four-fftl : of one per cent. OF
population in 1892. and 11-2O Of
one per cent. in 1898. This is a
record for the health of the town

itants or over in Southern Indiana,
and demonstrates that as a health
resort il is up to the standard of the
most favored places in California.
The citizens of the town have be-
come so accustomed to its beautiful
surroundings that they hardly
realize themselves the bless
ings they receive from being per-
mitted to reside in so healthful a To-
cality, surrounded by so many clc-

possibilities as are patent immedi-

Jasper is situated on the banks of
Patoka river, one Of the most rapid
flowing streams a the West, with a
fall averaging about six feet to the
mile, thus carrying off with each
Spring rise of the water all deleteri-
Gus accumulations, and leaving its
banks in clean, hcalthful condi-
ton. This accounts for the healthy
appearance Of residents of Jasper
generally, and for the small ratio Of
sickness and mortality prevailing
its limits. The stream abounds
with the best fish--thc spirited and
