Entered January 1, 1897, aa second-class mall matter, at t>« port-office at Benssalaor, Indiana, under the act of March 3, 1879.

Charles Meyers, who was the senior member of the merchant tailoring firm of Meyers & Secor, during its short career in Rensselaer, was in, Rensselaer a short time Thursday. He left here some time before Mr. Secor determined to close the store, and this was his first visit back. His home is at Goshen. Mr. Meyers said he dropped in on some business relating to the adjustment of the business, of which C. G. Spitler is the receiver. He was not here long before Marshal George Mustard had his eyes on him, and had arrested him for leaving Iwo unpaid board bills. One was on complaint of George Fate, to whon SB.OO was owing, and the other E. E. Powell, who had $4.50 coming. Meyers was greatly surprised, he said, because he thought Mr. Secor had paid all his bills as treasurer of the company. Poor Henry Secor claims that he was the goat for about everything. Meyers paid up and thus savedi himself from going to jail, the beatTng of a board bill being about the most serious thing a man can do in the way of failure to pay his debts.

Hartford City Has Sensational Elopement of Married Barber.

William Allmon, a married barber of Hartford City, is alleged to have eloped Tuesday evening with Mrs. Katie Cain, deputy auditor of that county. The Times-Gazette, of that city, relates the story in a sensational manner. Allmon went home Tuesday evening and insisted that his wife and her mother go to church, saying he would call for them when church was out. Mrs. Cain, who was herself deserted by a husband a few years ago, kissed her little son goodnight and told him she was going to attend the Ben Hur lodge. While Allmon’s wife was a| church he moved his trunk to the railway and he and Katie “flew the coop. They were traced to Chicago. Allmon wrote a letter to his spouse telling her that he had gone for good. He sent her $55, but did not promise to send her any more. Mrs. Caln was a capable clerical officer and popular except for her alleged relations with Allmon, which are said to have existed for some time. The Hartford City paper tells of various escapades in which Allmon had engaged, relating one in which he scaled a high beard fence in broa' daylight to save his life from the wrath of a husband who appeared unexpectedly. He had also been named as a co-respondent in a divorce filed and his reputation seems very unsavory. Mrs. Allmon refused to file an affidavit against him and the police have given up their search.

Meyers Dropped In; Paid His Board and Out Again.

Dr. Cook Don’t Know Whether He Was There or Not.

Dr. Frederick A. Cook is not like Jim Jeffries, Theodore Roosevelt and Eat Nelson. He can come back. He now frankly admits that he may have been mistaken when he came back from the frigid north with the claim that he had reached the north pole. In a remarkable article in Hampton’s magazine, he says he was half mad from the cold and hunger he had endured and while laboring under this distress he set up the claim of discovery. Cook knows he has been called the greatest liar and imposter of all time, but he asks that the public read his plea and have confidence in him. Dr. Cook expects to return to the United States with his wife and children on Dec. 22, so as to spend Christmas here. Dr. Cook is now in Europe and his children are in a convent in France. Captain Robert E. Peary, the explorer, who was the first to pronounce Cook a fakir, has nothing to say about Cook’s magazine article.

Judge Wason and Principals Go Over the Puncoast Ditch.

Judge Wason, who is hearing the suit known as the Pancoast ditch, is trying to get at the bottom of it. Not the bottom of the ditch, but the bottom of the facts connected with the suit brought by remonstrators to its construction. Accordingly this Friday morning the judge,’ the lawyers, the principals, the court stenographer and a number of witnesses went to the scene of the proposed drain and spent considerable time looking oVer the ground. The rabbits tn Newton township thought it was an annual round-up and are said to have scampered... away half frightened to death when the (party approached. It begins to look like this term of court won’t accomplish much beyond some ditch litigation.

SUCCESSFUL IN FRUIT BUSINESS IN OREGON.

Former Publisher of Republican Enjoying Prosperity on Rogue River Valley Apple Farm.

George E. Marshall, for twenty-five years the editor and publisher of the Republican, is t.OO modest to write back here and let his old friends know how successful he has been. That he had prospered abundantly was known because of a number of people who have heard from there, but the full extent of his success cotfid hardly be appreciated without visiting his beautiful farm, which lies right in the city of Medford. Truman F. Palmer,, of Monticello, visited Medford a few months ago and from him we learned much of the success at tained by Mr. Marshall. He said that the city of Medford had boomed and grown until it had almost surrounded the Marshall fruit farm of something like 60 acres hnd that paved streets passed along two sides of the farm. This has contributed to the increased value of the farm and enabled Mr. Marshall to subdivide a portion of the land and sell it for building lots at prices ranging up to $3,500 an acre, but the investment he made there a little over three years ago would have been a splendid one had it depended alone on the fruit product. The most recent testimonial of his success is contained in a beautifully illustrated booklet booming Medford, and which was given out at the Chicago land show. Dr. I. M. Washburn attended the show Thursday and brought a copy of the book home with him. The following is the paragraph that refers to Mr. Marshall:

“From not more than thirty-five 18-year-old D’Anjou pear trees, occupying considerably less than one acre of land, G. E. Marshall harvested 604 full boxes of packed fruit, or just a car load. These sold in New York for $2,750 gross. The average gross price per box was $5.46. Highest price on 46 boxes, $6.75. Net average in Medford (about) $4.50. Several of these trees packed 25 or more boxes, thus netting about $112.90 a tree. The net returns per acre was not less than $3,200. From two acres of 18-year-old Bartletts Mr. Marshall had 1,250 packed boxes. They brought practically $2 net per box, or $1,300 per acre. Three acres of Winter Nelis yielded Mr. Marshall 1,500 boxes at $2 a box.

Father Alerding Honored on Tenth Anniversity as Bishop.

At Fort Wayne on Wednesday, Nov. 30th, Rev. Father Herman Joseph Alerding was honered by the celebration of the tenth anniversary of accession to the place of Bishop of the Fort Wayne diocese of the Roman Catholic church. The celebration was conducted on rather extensive plana in, honor of the distinguished prelate, who ten years ago came from Indianapolis, where he was pastor of the St. Joseph’s church. At the dinner held Wednesday noon Rt. Rev. J. H. Oechtering presented the bishop with a handsomely engrossed address in Latin, a superb gold crozier studded with amethists and a purse of SI,OOO, the gift of the diocese clergy. He was plainly moved by the unexpected tokens of high regard and in acknowledging the honor his voice trembled perceptibly.
