There was no frost last night, although it looked very threatening Tuesday evening. The sky was cloudy most of the night and a twenty-mile wind blew throughout the night, which probably staved off the frost and the freeze as well. The forecast for tonight is “frost, probably heavy.” If this one misses connection, we may yet save a good share of the fruit crop.

Wilson Shafer has a mother pig that is imbued witil the Rooseveltian idea of “multiplying the earth.” She gave birth a week ago to 17 pigs. One pf them was dead when Wilson found them and three have since died, leaving 13 still living. By alternating them at meal time, Wilson hopes to save the remainder and thus to help supply the great demand for pork. We have unloaded 6 car loads, over 1,000 barrels of flour since Jan. Ist, 1910.

Remember every sack guaranteed to be the best flour made or money refunded. Aristos, Gem of the Valley, of Lord’s Best, only $1.50 a sack. JOHN EGER.

Dr. Rose Remmek, the optician, left from Indianapolis last Sunday with her brother, Chas. W. Remmek, for New Yprk, where she will be with him •during the time he undergoes an operation and is convalescent from it. While in New. York, Dr. Remmek will take postgraduate work in ophthalmology. There is quite an interesting story about 'the taking of Drr-Rem-mek’s brother to New York for this operation. *He had previously undergone an operation that was only partially successful and his sister, with commendable Hoosier grit, determined to ask one of the most noted surgeons in the United States to perform the operation. Accordingly she wrote to an eminent surgeon in New York and told him the circumstances and how much she would be able to pay for the operation. He replied, advising that she have some surgeon nearer home do the work and stating that he, could not undertake it for the price she had offered. He gave her some friendly advice but she was not to be put off and wrote again and then a third time and this iime she was suc-

cessful. The surgeon agreed to, her terms and made the preparations for the operation, which will be performed in a few days. It is expected that Dr. Remmek will be able to return to Indianapolis with her brother about the Apt of June. The invalid brother was formerly a traveling salesman and himself and sister have been the closest companions during their entire life and she is determined to do all in her power ttl restore his health.

Marshall will be here and speak at the dedication and also while here he will deliver an address in the college hall at the literary entertainment in the afternoon. The announcement that the governor will A>e here will doubtless aid in drawing a mammoth crowd to the college fbr the dedication. There are many who .have never seen the chief executive of the state and who will be here to see him as well as to see the great and magnificent new church whifh is now nearing completion. There will be a number of bishops and probably at least one arch-bishop at the dedication, and it will be the best advertised and probably the « greatest crowd drawing event ever held in Jasper county. % •*'

COLLEGEVILLE.

Rev. Methadius Vornes, O. S. 8., spent a day at the college lately. A short but amusing entertainment was rendered by the C. L. S. Sunday evening. Father Weyman delivered a verv impressive sermon to the students at the services Sunday. J. Maichler has returned to his studies from Consaut, Ohio, Where he was .called by the sudden death of his mother. Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Dwyer, E. K. Fleming, of Chicago, Mrs. and Miss Mecklinburg, of Rensselaer, were college visitors Sunday. Sunday’s, rain destroyed the Varsity’s first opportunity to show their real base ball class. The game will be played April 24th. B. Westhoven received a telegram Sunday evening informing him of the death of his brother at Liberty, Ohio. He left to attend the funeral. This week will see the floor laid in the chapel. The frescoers are finishing the towers and the atrium. Next week the furniture men will be busy erecting the alters and setting up the pews.

Governor Thomas R. Marshall has accepted the invitation of the college faculty to be present at the dedication of the chapel, May 17th. The goverpor has also consented to deliver an address in the college hall at the liter; ary entertainment in the afternoon. Other well-known speakers will also be heard. The Collegeville base ball league has again been organized< Pour teams constitute the league and four games are scheduled for each week, thus giving each team two games a week. The leaders of the teams are: Cardinals, J. Manion; Imperials, L. Feily; Laurels, A. Berghoff; Royals, M. Toner. From the showing of the players in the varsity tryout games, the league bids fair to give us a good strong pennant race. Great interest is shown by the different teams and by the students generally. » ' 1 11 "I " Gross earnings of all United States railroads reporting for the first week of April amount *to $6,836,331, an increase of 9.1 per cent compared with the earnings of the same roads for the corresponding period last year.

Mrs. Leota M. Jones Subscribes To Soldiers’ Monument Fund.

In sending aid to the Milroy Soldiers’ monument fund, Mrs. Leota M. Jones, mother of C. S. Chamberlin, city water and light superintendent, writes to Mrs. Thompson from " her home in Chicago as f6l lows: “Please accept my small offering for the Milroy monument. I am so glad our dear old town will thus honor one so worthy. As I write, my mind goes back to my childhood days. I see Mr. Milroy (he was then) with his daughter Ella and I, one on each side, as he carried us at arms length across the bridge, then gave us a joyful play hour at his home. You remember my dear brother-in-law, Caleb C. Hopkins, went out to the service, with him, but his grave is among the unknown and our mother raised the two children he left, Lettie and Caly. I will bo so proud to witness the unveiling. I love our dear old home place and so often think of you in connection with my mother and I honor you for your part in bringing this matter about.”

One Policeman Dies as Result Of Fight With Desperadoes.

The fight which two policemen had at Indianapolis early Tuesday morning with two young desperadoes resulted in the death of Policeman Joseph Krupp. The assailants of the police were apprehended by reason of the quick wit of Bert .Amos and'Chas. E Huron, who saw the men take shelter In a lonely shack along the Big Four right of way and at once notified the police. The young fellows proved to be Walter Whitelock and George Douglas, of Pittsburg, and the former confessed that he fired the shot that killed policeman. The city was intensely agitated over the affair. The young men had been drinking and assigned their use of liquor as the cause of the crime that unprovoked took the life of one of the best young policemen in the state capital.
