Granville Moody Receives News Of Sister’s Death in Boston.

Granville Moody received a telegram 'Thursday informing him of the death in West Neston, a suburb of Bostpn, Mass., of his sister, the widow of Commodore ClifToPd Fyffe, of the United States navy. Mrs. Fyffe was 65 years of age. The body will be shipped to Urbana, Ohio, for burial Monday, and Mr. Moody will leave for there in tipie to attend it. Judge Hanley returned Thursday afternoon from Kentland and will return there next Monday for the final two weeks of the term which promises to be very busy. On Wednesday night Judge Hanley witnessed the praduction by Kentland home talent cf George Ade’s play, “The County Chairman.” He pronounced it a fine success, splendidly produced. The pi ly was repeated Thursday night at Kentland, making the fifth performance there, the others having been given a year ago, upon the completion of the opera house. Tonight the company, accompanied by the Kentland band and Sheldon orchestra, will go to Watseka, where a crowded house will greet them. It would be a nice thing if Manager Ellis could induce the Kentland people to come here with the play and we have no doubt that quite a society event could be made of it with a packed house. B. S. Jordan, of the Jordan Dramatic Co., of Chicago, was in Rensselaer this morning and arranged to put Rensselaer in his circuit for regular visits in a scheme of weekly theatricals. The Jordan company has the Mabel theatre leased in North Chicago and has been playing regularly in stock. They will hereafter occupy the theatre only for Saturday night perfdrmances and have decided on five of six towns where they plan to spend the remainder of the week. These towns are Rensselaer, Remington. Monticello, Fowler and LQwell. The show will open up here Friday night of hext >veek, Jan. 27th, with the comedy-drama, “Under Arizona Skies.” There seems every prospect that the plan will prove successful. Although Mr. Jordan is a young man he has had much experience in the theatrical business and is successful, which should go a long way toward making his show a big crowd bringer. John Gangloff returned last evening from a visit of about a month at Washington and othe£ points in Illinois, where he lived before coming to Rensselaer. He reports that there is considerable activity in land selling there and that prices range from S2OO to S3OO per acre, much more than the land is worth if figured as an investment from which an adequate return is to be made. He was in the good land, but mud road district, and during the soft weather it is practically impossible to get through. The roads broke through out there last week and farm wagons had mud on the wheels as wide as a half bushel measure is across the top. John had a fine visit.
