More Jasper County Fancy Cattle Top Chicago Market.

A number of Rensselaer people saw sixty head of fat cattle as they were driven through the city Tuesday to be loaded for shipment to Chicago. They were greatly admired and commented on by people in general, and stock feeders in particular, and it was predicted that they would bring the top market price when sold. They were the property of Frank Hill and were fed in Jordan township. Wednesday the cattle were sold by the Ward Commission Co., for which W. A. Burns, a former' Rensselaer boy, has worked for some years. The cattle averaged 1,510 pounds and brought $7.95 per hundredweight, that being the highest price paid this year for Indiana cattle and the best price paid for any cattle on the market that day. A short letter from Mr. Burns says: “This was a mighty fine bunch of cattle and Mr. HilL deserves pinch praise for the way he has handled them and, in helping to make Rensselaer one of Indiana’s best feeding points.” Mr. Burns also briefly mentions the Moody and Parkison cattle, which brought fine prices recently and which were handled through his firm.

Valparaiso Booster Has Brood Of Own Hatching, Says Paper.

Although regarded habitually reliable and trustworthy, it is almost too mudh to swallow the following from the Valparaiso Vidette: For several days neighbors out in the’ neighborhood of Frank Ludington's farm have been waiting and watching for the time to come when his famous old rooster would be the proud keeper of a. brood of downy little chickens. This Is the rooster which, hen-like, took the job of sitting on a nest of eggs. Last Friday the eggs pipped, and by Saturday eight chickens had seen the light of the world. Yesterday a man from Valparaiso stopped to look at the curious combination, just to see if it was really true. There the rooster was, by this time with ten of his own and an extra one. thrown in which had been taken away from an old hen to give to £he motherly old rooster, that the lone little chick might have brothers and clumsy old fowl of the barnyard, with his long tail feathers and the dangerous spurs on his legs, taking good care of the brood. And he clucks in a deep bass voice, and has never raised his head to crow since he took to his nest.

Gary Millionaire Brings Salt for Divorce From Young Wife.

Louis A. Bryan, 53 years of age, a multi-millionaire of Gary, and the most prominent citizen of that mushroom city, has brought suit for divorce from his young wife, 27 years of age, whom he alleges has been cruel and unfaithful to her martial vows. She was formerly Miss Ethel Thayer., Bryan years ago purchased a lot of swamp land and sand dunes where Gary now stands. He was able to sell real estate at his own price and became immensely<wealthy. His first wife was an invalid and the Thayer girl, who had lived with them since •she was 13 years of age, became the companion of Mrs. Bryan. The latter died and last Noyember with great eclat he married Miss Thayer. They have not been happy and now she is said to be in Chicago and to Ibe dickering with lawyers for a fat slice of her spouse’s wealth. He evidences a great amount of chagrin at the unhappy termination of his marriage and says that he did his best to hold the love of his young wife and lavished

money on her freely. She retorts by saying that he was cross and "an old bluffer.” She intimates that he did not spend his money on her quite as freely as she thought he should, but she admits that while he was taking her on a pleasure trip through Mexico and Cuba she lost $5,000 worth of jewelry which he had given her, also a “bit of a gold purse worth about $2,000, and a little change, between SSO and $100.” Mr. Bryan is only 53 and none too old to try again, but he had better look for a housewife the next time, instead of a gusher.

Neighbors and friends to the number of about 125 gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Morganegg, of Barkley township, last Tuesdhy evening, and reminded Chris of his fiftythird birthday anniversary. Everyone took well filled baskets and all participated in a bountiful supper. Young folks as well as old came, for the next day was the sixteenth birthday of Miss Kathryn Morganegg, and so both were celebrated the same evening. Everyone had a good time, and left wishing both many more happy birthdays. Col. M. W. Lynch, a distinguished looking gentleman of the southern type, is registered at the Makeever house today. He simply registers Oklahoma, but his home town is Stroud, a town of about 2,000 population. He came here with the expectation of closing up a real estate deal. Col. Lynch states that the drouth and recent hot winds have greatly damaged the cotton crop in his section and that it will be scarcely a half crop and in some sections almost a total failure. Col. Lynch is engaged in farm buying and selling and in the money loaning business.

September 14th—Francesville. September 15th—Wadena. September 16th—Monon. Among the local players will be Tom Jensen, Sherm Parks, Jess and Elmer Wilcox, Harry Swartzell and probably John Morgan.
