’ .Glendor Starner, four years old, fell through the ice in the Tippecanoe river near Bloomingsbiirg Sunday afternoon and was drowned. An older brother, Glendon Starner, in attempting to save him, narrowly escaped drowning. ■ wilT be here Saturdays night. This is one of the greatest present day dramas, and Mr. Fred Gordon and his splendid company will present it in an admirable manner. Rensselaer theatre goers should not miss this real treat Morgan Dick, for many years a member of the Soldiers’ Home at Marion, was found dead in his bed in barrack 6 yesterday morning. He did not get up at the breakfast call, and his comrades who tried to wake him found that he was dead. Mr. Adams is a witty man and at the same time a deep thinker. His points are made in a clear and forceful manner, and the jokes which he intersperses come in just at the right time and are an exact fit. He won for himself a warm place in the hearts of our Chautauqua goers.—Galesburg Republican-Register. county people are’ faring well in Lake county. Ernest Shortridge is the present county clerk, Charley Daugherty has served as sheriff and has been appointed postmaster at Crown Point, and now Henry Whittaker is the prospective republican nominee —forsiieriff. —All of which shows that the voters in Lake county have mighty good judgment in making selections. The Mock Trial was given at Valparaiso Monday night and the Vidette takes a column and a half to write it up. If It is as funny as represented there is a rare treat in sight for Rensselaer people when the trial is presented here. Prominent people will be in all the important parts. The performance w r as given at Monticello last evening by the ladies of the Presbyterian church. During slippery weather pride causes a person to walk on the sidewalk, w’hile prudence causes one to take the middle of tba street. Rensselaer people are largely classified in th,e prudent division. Notwithstanding the fact that there has been a lot of ice on the pavements for several weeks, we belieyeefhat there has not been an accident of any consequence in Rensselaer. Those who had heard Dr. Adams expected a good lecture, but were unprepared for the great treat given. His “Grapes of Gold” abounded with gems of thought and was interspersed with enough stories to vividly bring out the points which the speaker desired to express. The lecture was a message of qheer and goodwill to mankind, and a plea for the cultivation of those faculties that make for the .best that is within us.—Valparaiso Vidette.
