Lecture On Holy Land At the Presbyterian Church.

Mr. William H. Hamelle will deliver an illustrated lecture on the Holy Land at the Presbyterian church this evening, February 23, under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge of Rensselaer. Mr. Hamelle is a thorough student of the Bible, Bible history and Bible scenes. Two years ago he visited Je rusalem and the Holy Land, studied the various points of interest, gathered the material and secured the stereoptican views that make his lecture very interesting. The lecture is free to the public and it will be highly appreciated by every Christian and student of the Bible.

J. A. Driscol, of Liberty, Ind., and Miss Alma Garvin, of Cambridge City, arrived here this morning expecting to address a meeting of farmers at a farmers’ institute. They learned after their arrival that no meeting had been arranged for. County Superintendent “dr SchooliPLamßon, acting with instructions fyom S. E. Sparling, president to the Institute, had notified Prof. Latta, of Purdue, that the meeting had 1 been canceled but in some manner the speakers did not learn of it. The Remington institute has also been called off on account of the weather conditions. Mr. Driscol discusses soil, poultry, stock and dairy subjects and Miss Garvin handles domestic science topics. Their visit here was not altogether a loss of time, for they went to the schoolhouse and talked for a short time to the high school pupils.

Only a few of the freight trains are running today. The trains are now getting a little nearer their schedules although moat of them are still some belated. No. 32 was two hours late today. The mdlk train, which was about twelve hours late ta its run from Chicago Wednesday night selaer until 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon on its return trip to Chicago, had reduced its belated condition to 8 hours by Thursday night Thia morning it was only about 40 minutes late and would note have been that late if it had not been required to wait at Monon to permit No. 36, two hours “late, to pass it Take It all la all the trains have done very well and the train crews have worked like beavers to get thipgs back to a dependable schedule again.
