Dr. I. M. Washburn may join them there later. Harry Wade returned last Friday from Mississippi.

He left this morning for Colorado, expecting to prospect in several parts of that state. Bert Sparling also returned from the south. He did not invest while there. Harry E_. Folk, the genial court reporter, is on hand and wears the same “old smile that won’t come off.” Harrv hails from the state of Ohio and naturally is interested in the big “doings” in Adams county, yet he- gets some consolation reciting the trials and tribulations of our twin cities of Gary and Hammond. It is hard for some of the “boys” to convince him that there is a difference between vote buying and the herding of ignorant foreigners just before the election.—Kentland Enterprise. A. A. Gorbet was down from DeMotte today. He is expecting Mrs. Gorbet back shortly from Gilby, N. Dak., where she has been for some time with her daughter, Mrs. Eva Hellengreen, to whom was recently born a baby daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Hellengreen went to North Dakota last spring at about the time his parents, Mr, and Mrs. John Hellengreen, went. They had a poor year, owing to the drouth, but will remain there another year at least and give that section of Norh Dakota a thorough trial. P& Mr. and Mrs. George Michael have been visited for the past few days by her two brothers, 0. L. and V. H. Sanderson, of Colorado. They left this morning for their home, which is in the San Luis valley, where Dr. I. M. Washburn has investments. They are splendidly pleased there and believe it is a country that will develop into a garden spot of rare productiveness. They shipped from there to Chicago 1,400 head of sheep, which they had fattened. They have been following this business for some time, with considerable profit. An East Chicago policeman named Steve Keri shot and killed Peter Jayzyk, a young Russian, Sunday night. Jesyk and others were drunk and were singing and making a wild noise. The officer remonstrated with them and they sht upon him, beating him severely. He drew his revolver and fired. Jazyk was struck and fe’l, after running a few feet. The policeman was so severe!} beaten that he had difficulty in reaching a nearby saloon. The dead man bad been in East Chicago about two years and had a bad reputation. Under date of Jan. 10th Mrs. H. L. Hendricks writes as follows from Aberdeen, Wash.: “Find enclosed 1J.50 for renewal to The Republican. We are having pretty good weather out here at present for this country; are having our first snow today, and it is about 2 inches deep. It will not stay long, as it is already thawing. We have some Rensselaer people here, among them Mort Murray, who has been here all winter. Last Sunday Ben Welsh spent the day with us. His -sisters, Gertrude and Ella, are teaching school out here. Miss Ella has been very sick, but is better now. This leaves us all enjoying good health. Will close, wishing you all a happy New Year." J. L. Babcock has been over from Wells county for the past week, spending part of his time in Illinois. Wells county looks mighty good to him and the many improvements that have been made there have made that county one of the best in the union. Bluffton, the county seat, has two interurban railroads, one running through the town north and south, and the other east and west The farmers there are the greatest beneficiaries, he says, of the electric railroads and one who has not lived in a community where there are electric roads hardly realizes the extent to which they are put to use. After the north and south road had been built about five years there was no trouble in building an east and west road and Jim says that the farmers along the road and the business men In Bluffton about all subscribed for stock and took almost enough to build the road.
