More Money in Sight for Goodland Fowler Bank Creditors.

Grant flail’s visit to Bloomington, Illinois, was prolific of good results. He closed up the sale of the Arkansas land to Mr. Prince and received cash and yotes for the full amount of the sale. He also found a man who will take up the notes if he can have them all and the receiver will rebate the interest up to the time of maturity, a matter of a few months over a yentr and amounting to perhaps abouW2y--000. If this were done the depositors of the Fowler bank would be paid in full within thirty days. This would also give the Goodland bank the sum of $13,672, which, if we understand the situation rightly, would also enable that institution to ,pay out in full at once. Mr. Hall is of the opinion that this is the proper method of proceedure at this time and feels, that the depositors should have their money at the earliest possible moment. Judge Lairy, of Logansport, is opposed to the plan, however. He is willing to discount a part of the notes, but not all of them, which means that the man with the money will take none of them. If there is any further delay in the matter the responsibility of it will rest with Judge Lairy. Another year’s delay in the settlement of the affair will profit the depositors not a penny and the expense of the receivership for the additional time will practically eat the amount of interest which will accrue. If the question were left a vote, of the interested parties at least 99 per cent of them would vote to rebate the interest and pay the depositors the money for which they have waited so patiently.—Fowler Review.

A sheriff’s sale covering three pages .ofanewspaper is z something unusual. Yesterday’s issue of the Hammond Times contained a notice of that length. It is a case in which the town of Gary* is plaintiff and Haus Hold et al, defendants. The surveying crew of the interurban line will be back here the first of the week to begin' work on the line north of here. They .have completed the work south of Rensselaer and the work north is expected to proceed rapidly. The crew will be here a week or ten days. “Kid” Churchill, an- old Rensselaer boy, now of Oklahoma City, is here on business and for a visit with old friends. He is having bills printed for a public sale to be held on the Churchill farm west of town which was recently purchased by B. Forsythe. The sale will take place Wed/ nesday, February 23rd.

J. M. Lesh, of Menominee, Wis., is visiting his son, Dan, and family. Mr. Lesh moved from Union township to Wisconsin about three years ago and is very enthusiastic over his new location. His son, who had a public sale last week, has bought a farm adjoining his father’s and will move to Wisconsin the last of the month. Uncle Johnny Jenkins, of South Newton county, has been in poor health all winter, and is on a gradual decline. Mr. Jenkins is ninety years of age and his ill-health is mainly owing to his age. He came here from England about fifty years ago and has lived in Newton county during nearly all his residence in this country. O. O. Hammerton held a public sale Thursday preparatory to his removal to Cincinnati. The sale amounted to nearly SI,OOO. It was erroneously stated in a previous issue that Mr. Hammerton intended to remove to New Albany. His run as mail clerk is between Chicago and Cincinnati and he is making the change so that he can be at home oftener. The basketball fever has broken out in the high school again. A series of games was started last night. The seniors and sophomores played the freshpen . and juniors. It was a well played game from start to finish. The seniors won by the close score of. 24 to 19. Kirk played a star game and without him the freshmen would have outclassed the seniors. Dr. Rose Remmek, who has been in Indianapolis for some tiine has returned and will be in her office in the Harris block every du/ from 8 a. m. to sp. m. Phone 403.

A Big Automobile Factory and Some Regulations.

The big factory of the Buick Motor Car, Co., of Fli|jt, Michigan, covers 44 acres of floor space. This includes a building 800 by 360 feet, three stories. It is said this is the largest building in the world devoted entirely to manufacturing automobile motors. The sipn of 0,000 has been expended on the floorelone in this building. Almost as imposing in size is the building which is devoted to the production of sheet metal. This is 830 by 152 feet. This building will be three stories in height like the present building of the Buick plant, the Buick maintains its policy of limiting all possible operations on each model to one building devoted to that purpose. At the Buick a new model means a new building. One of the other numerous buildings is a hardening room, 311 feet by 70, in which under the direction of P. T. Rickhelm, president of the American Gas Furnace Co., an absolutely new, though thoroughly tested system oF hardening is installed. The additions have brought the firm’s roll of employes up to a total of 9,000. An idea of the immensity of the Buick plant may be gleaned from the fact that its payroll will cost close to $400,000 a month during the coming season, for which it has already made arrangements for a total budget of <520,000,000. A new testing department is established, in charge of a chemist of national reputation, at which samples of all materials, notably the metals, will be submitted to rigid investigation and where the firm will maintain a metallurgical experimentation bureau. Designs of all the cars pass through the hands of experts, for ratification and plans for the standardization of parts.

This Time the Farmer Got the Worst of It.

The Indianapolis News prints that a farmer of Salem, N. J., brought two hogs to a local butcher and offered them for sale. A price was quickly agreed on, and the farmer said he would sell, but wanted the hams and shoulders. To this the butcher agreed and after the weight had been taken jthe__desired parts of the hogs were cut off and handed to the farmer, who asked for the balance coming to him. After figuring a moment the butcher replied, “You owe me $2.85.” And the farmer had to pay it The butcher had bought the hogs at wholesale price and charged the farmer retail rates for the parts he re_served. In effect the farmer had made the butcher a present of two hogs, and had then paid him $2.85 for certain parts of them.

Ayr, moved to Savoy, 111., yesterday, where he expects to make his future home on a farm. Mr. Taedtey moved here from Illinois eleven years ago, and is returning to his old home.

‘Charles S. Baker, of ML Ayr, • Stricken With Paralysis. Mt. Ayr Pilot. Chas. S. Baker was stricken with partial paralysis last Saturday and at the hour of going to press was very low. He has lain in a sort of stupor since attacked and can talk but little and has no control whatever over the left portion of his body and but very little over his right. He has been unconscious most of the time, occasionally rallying a little and apparently recognising those about him. The attack probably began working on him on Friday as he was out that day in his automobile and frequently seemed to lose control of the machine. He is generally a cautious driver and his peculiar actions were the cause of some comment by those with him and were not understood until the following day. Mr. Baker is well along in years and has always seemed very hale and hearty, displaying evidence of a strong constitution, but whether he can survive this stroke or not is a question, the indications being about equal in his favor. He is a veteran of the civil war and once before was similarly stricken, but recovered after a short time. The attending physician announces that he may live several days and probably completely recover. Don’t fail to attend the next lecture course number. The Columbian trio of blind musicians is one of the best on the road. A packed house should greet them. -
