DEATH CAME TO WILLIAM DANIELS FRIDAY MORNING.

Excellent Citizen Passed Away After Long Sickness—Barkley Resident For Many Tears. William Daniels, for several years a resident of Rensselaer and prior to removing here a farmer for many years in Barkley township, died this Friday morning at about 5 o’clock, having passed from sleep to death. He has been a sufferer for a long time and'for several months the farm ily had realized that he could not last long. Drqpsy and Bright’s disease 'were the causes of death. Prior to two years ago he had been strong and in excellent health. He Was 68 years of age and served during the civil war in the 9th* 135 th and 134th Indiana regiment He was one of the kindliest and most universally liked citizens of Rensselaer.

Some Real Christmas Cheer At the Monon’s New Depot.

Agent Beam was willing to consider the new depot as sufficient Christmas joy for himself, but a little occurrence or two has served to make his. broad smile more extensive than usual. General Manager A. H. Westfall, of the Monon, sent him a new clock, which should serve to save him d lot of trouble answering questions. Til? old one had been on a strike so some time and just refused to enter into any peace agreement that would cause It to work. The new clock is better in appearance and promises to work uncomplainingly 24 hours a 4ay, week in and week out with only an occasional winding up. Then came an even greater surprise. A fine, big mirror was presented to Mm for depot use, arid now hangs inside the office. It was a gift from Operators Frank Busha and Elmer Wilcox and Mr. Beam’s son Don, and Drayman Grant and Busmen Wasson, Frye and Kanne. Not only the gift Is pleasing but also the spirit of the givers, as it demonstrates the high esteem in which Mr. Beam is held by those with whom he is associated.

You are invited to come and bring all your shooter friends. The Rensselaer Gun Club will conduct another blue rock shoot at their traps in Rensselaer on Thursday ; Dec. 28th. A dozen ladies participated Thursday evening in an enjoyable dinner party given by Mrs. Mary D. Eger, it being her birthday. Following the dinner an exchange of presents was conducted and a merry time enjoyed by all. A very small error sometimes causes a very material change in tbe thing affected. In a brief mention of the death at Hamilton, Ohio, of John J. Egbert a railway mail clerk, the accidental insertion of a figure “J :L caused the item to say that he had been a mail clerk for 471 years. It should have said 47 years. He was 66 years of age and began running on the road when only 19. Miss Elizabeth Spaulding returned yesterday to take charge of the Western Union office, after an absence of two months.

PERRY GWIN WRITES ABOUT EL PASO, TEX.

Is Now Working ns Reporter on the Paper of Which John Walker’s Brotlier is City Editor. El Paso, Tex. Gentlemen: I stopped off in El Paso five years ago on my way to California and to say that I ,\yas surprised in the m >ny changes that had taken place would be putting it mild. El Paso, the now, has lost none of its glamor picturesqueness of El Paso, the old, with the old adobe low-roofed buildings on the banks of the silvery Rio Glrande. The contrast has been sharpened by the development of the new city from one story adobes to towering concrete and steel buildings. The progress of El Paso has been largely due to geographical conditions, El Paso, as the name implies (the gateway) is the gateway to Old Mexico, New Mexico, and Texas. There is not a city half its size within 600 miles. It is the shopping, qenter of the southwest The retail stores and wholesale houses carry a line of goods that for completeness of assortment is not equaled by any other American city of the size of El Paso, 45,000. El Paso and vicinity, the Rio Grande valley and highlands and the mountains . adjacent in all directions, possess geographical and topographical features the best for health. It has an altitjide of 3762 feet which, combined with abundant sunshine, atmospheric drypess and perfect natural drainage, makes possible a pleasant and satisfying residence, with an absence of all unhealthful influetifces.

El Paso has a ceuntry road built of asphalt that is 54 miles in length sCnd runs up over the mountains and down into the valley below that is a paradise for motorists. , A very nice diversion is to go across the Rio Grande river over into Jaurez, Old Mexico, and see an old adobe town that has all the quaintness of medieval Mexico as was seen by the Crusaders. The guides will point with pride to the Cuestra Senora De Guadalupe old mission, that has stood for centuries, its outline unchanged, with its bells calling the faithful to worship as was done in the days of Spanish monks. The old mission was barricaded during the recent war and was the main point of attack by the Insurrectos Other sights of interest in Jaurez are the market place, the plaza, the bull ring, where four bull* are killed every Sunday before a large crowd of lace-gowned senoritas and gaily clad officers and cavaliers. In the narrow streets bf Jaurez you will see the picturesque Mexican woman wearing her mantilla and the men wearing high sombreros and highly colored blankets thrown oyer their shoulders. A large race track has been recently built at a cost of 9300,000 which is now having racing by the thoroughbreds and gambling wide open. You can see 200 qnd 300 people playing keno at one time in Jaurez and all other forms of gambling. I am pretty sure there will be another Insurrection in Mexico, for the people are starving down there and the only way they can get anything to eat is to insurrect and plunder. The property is controlled by 3,000 people In Mexico and they are well educated, and indolent I am reporting on the El Paso Herald and Norman Walker, a brother of John Walker, is the city editor on this paper. The Herald is the leading paper of the southwest with a daily circulation of 18,000. - , With kindest regards to my friends in my native village, I remain Yours very truly, A. PERRY GWIN.

Halligans Given Judgment Against Sim Dowell in Iowa.

Joseph Halligan received a telegram from Bedford,* lowa, today, stating that himself and brothers had been successful in their suit against Efim Dowell, formerly of this county, and that the deed Dowell had made of hit farm to his wife had been set aside and that they had been granted a judgment in the sum of $2,640. This Is a sequel to the famous cattle case in which Dowell, William Tanner and the Halligans were involved several years ago. A judgment had formerly been secured against Dowel), but payment had not been made. Some time ago James Halligan went to Bedford and the case was tried in the Taylor cdurt and the judge had withheld his finding and judgment until this time.

Washington Street Should be Paved in Business Section.

The muddy and sloppy condition of Washington street from the river iridge to Cullen street during much of the fall and especially during the past week, should argue strongly for i pavement that can be kept free from the wretched condition now prevailing. Few towns the size of Rcdsselaer that do not have better business streets and as the condition of this street has been bad for some time and can not be endured much longer, it seems that the coming year would be the proper time to pave it either w r ith brick or asphalt. It will add greatly to the appearance, the comfort, the cleanliness, the convenience and the pride of our city and the cost would be justified because of these reasons. That Cullen and Forest streets will

Marshal Mustard informs us that the decline o 4 the street has been extensive since the depot was established in its present location only a little more than a month ago.
