ADDITIONAL TODAY’S LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

Call and see our nice northern-, grown sand potatoes, in two and onehalf bushel sacks, for 50c a bushel by the sack. JOHN EGER. IH. F. Parker and Cleve Eger went to the Kankakee river this morning to hunt ducks. They will be absent until the last of the week. Harry has not failed to be on a duck hunt on St. Patrick’s day for several years and he invariably gets his full share of birds. We want to figure with you on youi Spring Fencing bill. Electric Welded is the best and our prices are the lowest. ’’’ROWLES & PARKER. Pullins Bros., Jasper county’s pioneer fine poultrymen, are today shipping five fine bronze turkeys to J. M. Muirhead, Gentleman’s Seat, Pittsworth, Queensland, Australia. The port of export will be Vancouver, British Columbia. The birds will b< enroute for a considerable time and have been provided with suitable feed and watering troughs and a bag of feed was strapped to the large cage in which they were shipped. The cage was divided into five compartments, each turkey being kept by himself. It is understood the Pullins Bros, got 8100 for the five birds. For this week only, our large package of oatmeal, without a china dish, only 17c. Our regular 25c package, with a china dish, 20c. JOHN EGER. Chas. Morlan did not feel very much impressed with the homesteading prospects in Montana, especially for a man with a good sized family. He thought that in five years proving up a claim involved pretty severe hardships and required quite a little capital and that at the same time his children would be denied first-class school advantages. He looked- over the country at Williston and Minot, N. Dak., but came to no conclusion. His brother Frank accepted employment at Williston, getting 35 cents an hour as a carpenter. Near Minot several farmers were discing and harrowing fall plowed ground and there was not a bit of snow on the ground when he left there. My coats to all suits are all hand tailored thrubut and there is never any break down to them, if you wear them for 10 years. Also guaranteed never to fade. G. EARL DUVALL.

Rensselaer is evidently not the only town where school boys get into bad practices. Sunday night thirteen boys were arrested at Monticello charged with having entered various vacant store rooms and houses and carried on bad practices. They would first take possession of one room and then another, vacating each after the officers had frightened them away. They used the residence of R. J. Million as a rendezvous during the temporary absence of the occupant and did sever-, al dollars worth of damage. Sunday night thirteen were apprehended in an old house east of the dam, between the river and the race. The sheriff and marshal raided the room and put the "boys under arrest I want to figure with you on your spring suit or top coat and I will show you where I can save you from $3.00 to $5.00 a suit. Pure wool serges, fancy gray worsted and cassimeres, SIO.OO, $12.00 and $15.00 a suit.. C. EARL DUVALL. Johnny Hanks, our last year’s baseball pitcher, who has been attending St. Ignatius academy in Chicago, has quit school and great disappointment is felt in the athletic circles of the school, for John’s strong left arm had been counted on to make St. Ignatius the small college baseball champions. It is not known what Hanks intends to do, but it is probable that he will get into some good semi-pro team, with a view to working himself into major league company, which seems within his reach. Hanks was only 17 years of age last year and his performance was little short of remarkable. He has speed, good judgment, a careful study of his batters and is himself a great sticker and base runner. St. Ignatius is scheduled to play St. Joseph’s, in Chicago, on May 12th, and in Rensselaer on June 2nd. If you want a swell tailormade suit or top coat, be sure and see my line, as I carry the best and largest line in the county. 2,500 or 3,000 yard and a quarter length samples to pick from. All at reasonable prices. C. EARL DUVALL. •
