Stolen From Beery church on Sunday evening. December 23, one rockey mountain goat fur lap robe, light color. Will pay $5.00 for the return of robe and $5.00 for the thief upon conviction. Robert Case, Maglev, Indiana. 42t2 Mitws Grace and Lizzie Peterson entertmned Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Helga Larssen of Norway, and the occasion is said to have been one of the most enjoyable ever given in this city. Miss Larssen is a singer of note and is now touring the United States with one of the best known concert companies. She is a graduate of several foreign schools of music and also of the Chicago conservatory where she met Miss Ina Everett of this city some two years ago, and with whom she is now a holiday guest. The affair Tuesday evening was an Exchange party and merriment and sociability were most noticeable. Refreshments were served and in fact, nothing was left undone to make the evening a happy one for the foreign guest as well as all others present. Miles Roop, seven years old, and youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Roop, is lying very ill at their homo on Sixth street. About two weeks ago the little fellow was stricken with appendecitis and sank very low. | Physicians worked with him incessant- | ly and finally succeeded in mastering . the disease. For a day or two hope was bright in the breasts of parents and loved ones and then hemorhages of the stomach set in from some unknown cause and since that time he has grown gradually weaker until last night, when it was said that all hope had been given up and the probabilities were that he could not survive many hours. He has suffered terribly and for a number of days has taken no nourishment of any kind. He is an exceptionally bright little fellow and a favorite among bis young playmates. John W. DeLong, Chicago & Erie agent here for years is today removing his family from this city to Fort Wayne, where he expects to reside during the future. He was transfered from the agency here to Boliver about three months ago and being dissatisfied with the change began looking about for some other business. John is a first class fellow in every way and a thoroughbred hustler and a new and in fact better position was soon forth coming. The Haz.en Publishing Company, one of the largest and best in the world, offered him a position as state agent, and Indiana as territory. He excepted at once and offered his resignation to the company to take effect January Ist. The change to Ft. Wayne was made because of better accomodations in many ways and although we are sorry to loose him as a citizen we wish him the success that his energy will surely bring.
