Sol Guth came over from Washington, 111., yesterday on business relating to his farm, the former Maines land. He has been making somegood improvements thereon. Mr. Guth has rented the farm for another year to James Reed, the present tenant. Mrs. Frank Foltz is again showing some encouraging improvement in health and while still unable to be taken from the house she is up some each day and able to walk short distances. Lately she has been suffering intense pain in her right arm and it has proved difficult to relieve. Alvin Clark was in from Lee this morning and reports that they did not have very much rain in that section of the country, in fact, only a little to serve as a temporary relief. Right around Rensselaer we could get along for quite a while now without any more rain.

Farm hands on the Lawler Pleasant Ridge farm had to pump water for 245 head of stock last Saturday, Sunday and Monday, owing to the very dry time and to the fact that there was no wind with which the wind pumps could be propelled. It is sure that the rain came as a great relief there. There was a little sprinkle this morning and for a time it looked like the rain might set in in earnest. The prospect has not passed yet. It is not needed here and if it would pass around and distribute the waters where most needed and give us some good, warm weather we will be real well pleased.

Mrs. John T. Winship and daughter, of Saginaw, Mich., are visiting her sister, Mrs. Delos Thompson. Mr. Winship recently sold the Saginaw Evening News, which he had owned for a number of years. He is the endorsed candidate of the Democrats of Michigan for U. S. senator and for a number of years was the democratic state chairman of that state. Frank G. Kresler today opened up for business the store he recently purchased of G. B. Porter and he enjoyed a very good trade for the opening day. Mr. Kresler will prove an aggressive merchant and having had considerable experience in the retail line and some valuable experience as a salesman on the road, he will doubtless become one of the leading merchants in the city.

Mrs. William Eger and Mrs. C. W. Duvall have planned a trip to Grand Rapids, Mich., to see two sisters of the former and to attend the big home coming which will be held in that city. Owing to the serious sickness of Mrs. Duvall’s aunt, Mrs. Sarah Hemphill, it is possible that she will not go. Mrs. Eger will either start tomorrow or Monday, going to Chicago and thence by lake.

Prosecutor Fred Longwell returned to Brook this morning after a stay of several days in Rensselaer. He is preparing the brief for the state in the Bader appeal. This is the duty of the state’s attorney-geqeral, but upon request Mr. Longwell is himself preparing it. He has in good health this summer and was forced to ask an extension of time for the preparation of the brief. He was allowed 45 days The prosecutor was also looking up some matters connected with the cases that are pending against Bader. He did not discuss these with the writer and there is probably nothing new since the indictments were returned by the grand jury at the May term of the court. Mr. Longwell was here at an opportune time and came in for a $5 fee in the case of the State vs. Morrison for provoke. He also prosecuted the case of the State vs. Healey for assault, but as the defendant was given an immediate verdict of “not guilty" there was no fee for the prosecutor. (
