Attorney William Darroch returned to Kentland today after a short stay here. He fell recently and quite severely bruised himself about the arms and shoulder's and consequently was not feeling the best. He says that Kentland is going right to the front Two new bank buildings were erected within the past year and.the one erected by the Discount and Deposit Bank will be occupied within the next week or two. The new watherworks system there is a fine one, he says, and regarded by those who have investigated it to be one of the .most efficient in the state. The electric lighting system has also been reorganized and better service than formerly is expected, but Mr. Darroch thinks the town should have tried hard to make some arrangements to secure the lighing system also and to have run it as Rensselaer does in connection with the Water plant.

The Republican has been unable today to get into communication with Dr. H. J. Kannal to ascertain the amount of insurance carried on his residence property so severely damaged by fire yesterday morning, but It is understood that the report published yesterday that he carried $7,000 insurance on the building is not correct, but that the amount was only $4,000. Since the building was damaged far in excess of this amount, he will, no doubt, receive the full face value of the insurance. The contents of the house were insured for SI,OOO and they were somewhat damaged by the hasty effort to get them out of the burning building. It Is stated that The Republican's estimate that it would take SIO,OOO to erect a house like the Kannal bouse now is far too low and that at the time it was built the cost was in excess of $15,000. This being the case, it is probable that the damage is in the neighoborhood of SIO,OOO.
