Joe Hardman was called to Warsaw this morning by word that his father, P. J. Hardman, now 82 years of age, had suffered a stroke of paralysis, that vas quite certain to result in his death. The Monon is to receive three new modern steel bottomed baggage ears sixty feet in length this week. They are of the most approved pattern and will be put in immediate service on the thru trains. C. J. Deau and W. L. Porter started for Mitchell, 8. Dak., this morning, where Mr. Porter expects to buy a farm. They were accomp anied by G. A. Daugherty, who will prospect in Dakota, Montana •and Wyoming.

Bimon Leopold and family moved to Francesville yesterday, where Simon is engaged in business. The house they occupied on Division street will be occupied by J. B. Fletcher the Chicago Bargain Store clothing salesman. Will Moore, now of White Hall, 111., near which place he has charge of one of the large Nelson Morris ranches, was here a short time Sunday evening and Monday morning, visiting his father, Squire Moore, and his brother, Austin.

Levi Renicker’s wife and mother started for Pratt, Kans., this morning to visit relatives. Levi accompanied them as far as Chicago. Mrs. Mattie Blankenbaker, of Canada, Mrs. Vv ill Herron and son and Mrs. Ellen Herron, of Morocco, were the guests of Theodore Warne and family Saturday and Sunday at their home near Parr. Mrs. Ellen Herron will remain with them this week and go from there to Bedford, Ind., to spend the winter with her daughter. Attorneys Foltz, Williams and Halleck and A. L. Branch went to Kentland today to attend court. A number of young fellows, and some not so young, whom it is thought might know something about the small regard the river saloon keepers have for the Sunday closing laws also went to Kertland to testify before the grand jury. The two saloons of Kentland will close Monday night, November 4th, by expiration of their license. Unless Mr. Houser is successful in his suit to break down the remonstrance Kentland will then go on the dry list with Goodland Brook and Morocco.

East Chicago has cancelled their foot ball date for next Saturday, and Frankfort has cancelled the date they had for the Saturday following. The First Regiment, of Chicago, has scheduled a game for Nov. 2nd, which, so far as Manager Kiplinger now knows will be the first game. Every team seems to be afraid of the team here, probably by reason of the superior teams the city has had in the past. Werner Miller and wife, living" about three miles north of Rensselaer, were notified Monday evening at about 8 o’clock that their son Joe, who had been woiklng as a carpenter in Hammond since Sept. 16th, had been struck by a train and killed. None of the particulars could be learned, and Mr. Miller took the early train today for Hammond, expecting to bring the remains home on the 2 o’clock train this afternoon. No arrangements have been made for the funeral.

The city council last night passed a resolution confirming the former resolution relating to the improvement of Weston and Dayton streets from Harrison street north to Elm street, which is the street second south of the railroad. The improvements calls for a 30foot wide macadamized street with cement curbs. The engineer was

instructed to prepare plans and specifications and present the same at a special meeting of the council tonight. It is thou »ht possible that a part of this improvement may be made yet this year. Erastus Peacock became the possessor recently of a two dollar bill that was issued by the Farmers and Traders Bank of Rensselaer on March 1, 1845. It bears the signatures of W. J. May, President and E W. Hathaway, cashier, and of W. Qnadis, deputy auditor of state, and of one or two other state officials who wrote their names so wrechedly that they can not be made out. This was at a h'me .when each state had Its own money and its own banking system and the money was secured by a pledge of public stocks. It was printed on a good quality of paper and is well preserved. The printing is on one side only, and the engraved part pictures several farmers cradleing wheat. Mr. Peacock received the bill from an old friend, Col. Will Walker, who is employed in the state house at Indianapolis and he says there are a great many of the bills there, having been preserved after redemption,. It is quite a novelty and weli worth being possessed.

It is said that about twenty farmers living in the vicinity of Crown Point are looking for one J. J. Kearns with blood in their eyes. It seems that Kearns represented that he was a salesman fop Sears, Roebuck & Co., of Chicago and took orders for merchandise amounting from $25 to $75 each. Only a portion of the goods came and these were a cheap inferior quality worth abont one third the price charged. Where the fellow could not get the cash, he took a note and these were promptly discounted at the local banks where as they have passed into the hands of an innocent/ purchaser they will have to be paid. A representative ol Sears, Roebuck was there the latter part of the week and said that that firm employed no travel ing salesmen and had no one of Kearn’s description in their employ and therefore assumed no responsibility in the matter. The men who patronized the fellow are simply out their money, and we don’t know as they are entitled to much sympathy as there are plenty of home merchants who have done business for years on the plan of “your money back if goods are not satisfactory.”

WEDNESDAY Squire J. H. Thornton and son Goffry went to Danville, 111., today for a few days’ visit. W. C. Quinn returned to Chica go this morning after a short visit here with his sister, Mrs. L. A. Harmon. ■ Mrs. V. O. Patterson returned to her home in Boston, 111., today after a visit of about two weeks with her parents, Philip Blue and wife. George Sigler, of Mt. Ayr, has been very sick with what is prob ably a case of pneumonia, and he was considered in a very dangerous condition last Saturday and Sun day, but is now slightly improved. Mrs. M. E. Corliss very pleasantly entertained the telephone company employees at her home west of town yesterday evening, the party consisting of the “Hello” girls and the linemen. A dainty supper was served. Mrs. M. B. Leslie, of Connersville, will begin a series of revival meetings tonight at the First Baptist church. They will continue for an indefinite time and an invitation is extended to everyone to attend the meetings. Uncle George Kessinger is in quite bad health at his home near Wabash, and has just been visited by his former physician at Rensselaer. It is probable that he has a cancer of the stomach and his condition is such as to give but little hope of improvement. Mr. Kessinger removed from this county last spring. Marion Churchill started back to his home at Randall, Minn., this morning. He has about decided to return to Rensselaer to make this place his future home, and if he does so he will engage in the dry goods business. Marion has pros-
