Three Injured in Auto Wreck At Lowell Wednesday Night.

Two young ladies and one man were quite severely injured in an auto spill near Lowell Wednesday night. It seems to have been a joy ride. The machine belonged to Lew Wpod, the well known Lowell baseball manager. It had been in the repair shop and Joe Whitaker, the machinist, was trying it out and had invited Miss Edna Mahler and her sister and Frank Erown to take a ride with him. They went out on the Cobe race course and are reported to have been running at a frightful rate of speed. East of the grave yard turn coming towards Lowell two teams were met and the driver tried to go around them and one wheel Went off the grade and the car was carried down the embankment with all four passengers. Edna Mahler and Brown were riding in the rear seat and were both thrown out. The former landed in a barbed wire fence and suffered a bad gash over the eye and across the cheek and a long gash down the neck and was otherwise cut and bruised. Is. required 24 stitches to close up the wounds and the young woman, who was one of the prettiest girls in Lowell, will be frightfully scarred. Miss Dean Mahler ana Frank Brown were considerably bruised, but Whittaker escaped injury. The car was badly wrecked.

Light Snow Hits Indiana And Makes Every One Shiver.

“Jt snows,” cries the school holy, But not with delight, For “Thank Goodness,” say the old' folks, “The snow is but light.” Indiana is in the grip of a temperature slump that has sent shivers through all who were caught with their summer usiderwear an and has made the improvident wonder where their summer wages went to. A little flurry of snow occurred this Friday morning just to let us know that the method was not forgotten. Let ’er snow, let ’er blow, the merchants of Rensselaer are well stocked with good saleable winter goods and a spell of cold weather will be appreciated. The farmer needs some cold land also some wind to help dry the corn and everything is cheerful notwithstanding that the first cold spell is a bit severe.

Entertains Company By Cutting a Bee Tree.

.. _____ ■•; . » Monon News. Eli Wood and wife spent two days with Harvey Wpod, near Rgpsselaer, last week, and while there a tree was felled on the latter’s place for the purpose of securing the honey. It proved ,to be a capital find, as the hollow in the three contained a solid pack of fine honey for a distance of nine feet. The bees were smoked out in order to enable the attacking party to secure the booty without being stung. About 140 pounds of honey was taken from the tree and Mr. Wood brought a bucketful home with him. In the early days before the forests had been invaded, the cutting of bee trees was a common occurrence and the pioneer in this way had. his table supplied with honey. But Mr. Harvey Wood makes a specialty of bee culture and has honey for the market, so that the tree incident of last week was more to show his brother Eli a good time than to get the supply of sweets.— Monon News.

Entered January 1, 1897, a* tfecond-claee mail matter, at tbe poet-office at Beneeelaer, Indiana, tinder the act of March 3, 1879.

A Hallowe’en masquerade was held at the home of Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Harper, of the M. E. church Thursday night. There were 102 present, al-' most all of them being masked. Each was measured and charged a cent for each foot of height, which was a very light charge for the libera! serving of pumpkin pie, apples and coffee. *There were some very novel masks and costumes introduced and the guests all seemed to have a fine^time. The Epworth Lepgue gave the'party.

A. J. Harmon and family arrived in Rensselaer Thursday evening and will remain here during the winter. He has been engaged since last spring In the real estate business in Mitchell, §.-Bak„ and Mrs. Harmon and the children have been living at LaSalle, 111. Rus will engage in the auctioneering business 'in Jasper county this winter and return to Mitchell in the spring. He reports considerable activity in Davison county real estate and some former Jasper county people have figured in it. Jasper Kenton, who about five years ago bought a section of land there, paying S2B per acre for it, sold out about ten days ago and got $65 per acre for his land. The only trouble with Jasper is that he don’t know where he can find another investment for his money that will be as good as the one he sold. Mason Kenton, who made one good trade after going there, and then bought another farm, paying about ,$57 for it, is reported to have recently refused an offer of SBS per acre for his farm. Other former Jasperites seem to have enjoyed, a substantial advance in the valuation of linds and to .have had good crops each season and fine prospects for the future. We will have another car of Michigan sand-grown potatoes in 2»4 bushel sacks, weight guaranteed, 70c a bushel in one or more sack lots.

BURGLARS ROB THE STATE BANK OF WOLCOTT.

jh Blow Open the Safe, Securing Eight Hundred Silver Dollars, arid Escape in Stolen Rig. Burglars entered the State Bank of Wolcott at one o'clock this, Friday morning, and blowing open the safe with nitro-glycerine, secured eight hundred silver dollars and some small" change, and made their escape. The explosion was heard by a number of citizens, but no attention was paid to the noise, as it was thought to be made by passing Automobiles. The safe, which cost about $1,500, was almost ruined, the door being blown off and destroyed. After the robbery the burglars stole a horse and buggy and escaped. The rig was driven to the outskirts of Monticello and abandoned, where it was found the next morning. The burglars probably boarded an -early morning Train there and may have passed through Rensselaer on a north bound Monon train and reached Chicago before the burglary was discovered. The«Amnk is owned by a stock company, Dubell being the president of the institution. The bank was insured against loss by burglary. The citizens of Wolcott are much excited over the robbery.

HEAR LANDIS SATURDAY; BIG REPUBLICAN MEETING.

Former Congressman and Eloquent Exponent of the Tariff Will Address Audience at 2:30. Hon. Chas. B. Lantlis, of Delphi, a former congressman from the 9th Indiana district, and the man who was engaged in a severe political contest in 1894 in this district, when by compromise both Landis and Johnson withdrew and Dr. Hatch was nominated fo‘r congress. Mr. Landis made his speech at Irvington Wednesday night and the Indianapolis Stkr publishes it in full. It sparkles with the Landis sort of oratory, is brilliant, witty and bristles with facts that will make his auditors think. Mr. is a republican of the uncompromising sort, the kind that believes in making the party right and maintaining it against the efforts of democrats to factionalize it. In his Irvington speech he said: “I want to say to you that if the people of this country forget or ignore the results, the lessons of the last democratic free-trade administration, it will bring about a condition of affairs in the midst of which Mary will be vine-clad as well as the cottage.” If the day is favorable Mr. Landis will speak on the court house lawn; if unfavorable in the opera house. At 2:30 o’clock Saturday afternoon. Come to Rensselaer and hear one of the best orators in the United States,

Survey of Lower Iroquois Has Reached Point Near Ade Farm.

Douglas Clark, trustee of Wheatfield township, returned to his home this Friday morning. He reports that the progress on the lower Jroquois survey is rather slow but that the engineer and commissioners are trying to make it very exact and hope to be very equitable in the assessments, Hugh L. Gamble is the engineer. Oglethorp Beagley, of Brook, is the other commissioner. The survey has reached a point near the George Ade farm in Newton county. The survey made about three years ago by C. J. Hobbs is being followed in the main, although a number of slight changes have been deemed advisable. With the approach of cold weather it is probable that not much more will be done toward the survey this winter.
