Mr. Horton states that with the completions of his contracts at Monon and Wolcott, will end their operations in this locality, as they intend to concentrate in the south, where there is more work. jt,.-.

Steve Comer called our attention Saturday evening to a peculiar and unusual halo about the moon. It was not so noticeable when he called as it had been before and others noticed it when it was at its brightest. The phenomenon consisted of several rings about the moon, all of different colors, Rink, yellow, golden, purple and blue of different shades. The moon was very bright and the varicolored circles added much to the beauty of the celestial orb.

A. F. Long attended a banquet at the Blackstone hotel in Chicago last Thursday, given on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the graduation of his class at the Illinois College of Pharmacy. Of the 44 who graduated at that "time only 9 were present ho enjoy the silver anniversary of their commencement. Notwithstanding the fact that only 20 per cent of the class were on hand at the gathering they found it very interesting and the affair will dwell pleasantly in the memory of each for a long time. Abe had seen none hf those who attended the banquet Since the commencement and it took all a long time to couple names and faces in a way to revive the acquaintanceship of a quarter century ago. It was learned that 8 members of the class have died and the present whereabouts of some of the others are not known to the secretary of the class association. Mrs. Long accompanied her husband to Chicago and spent two days with friends.

W. D. Bringle, the dyed in the wool democrat, of Jordan township, was in town yesterday. That we almost passed him by as a stranger and a good republican (about nine out of every ten strangers are good republicans) was due to the fact that he was shorn of his September crop of whiskers. We asked what became of them and he informed us that in a feeling of pity and generosity that came over him, he donated them to the Roosevelt forces In Washington, V D. C. No doubt this act of charity bad much to do with the Roosevelt primary landslides in Oregon, Nebraska *and Pennsylvania a short time ago. If there are any other good old democrats who wish to contribute thusly to the campaign, Roosevelt will be glad to meet them. “Billy” is very proud of hi* ability to grow a beard and very seldom does a winter go by that he doesn’t give evidence of his prowess.

Last year Professor Nowak sang at the business men’s banquet at Detroit The Detroit Journal said of him: “A great and pleasant surprise to the audience was Mr. Nowak’s singing. He held the listeners charmed and spell-bound by bis beautiful add sonorous rendition of the “Toreadore Song” from Carmen. His style and manner of singing is that of the Italian school of Campanarf, and quite naturally so since he is a graduate of Prof. Frank Milton Hunter of the Conservatory of Milan.” The Manistee, (Mich.) Dally News, in reviewing a concert given there last year, prints this appreciation: “Mr. Nowak appeared in two numbers, “My Phantom Double” by Schubert and an “Air from Oeberon In Fairyland.” Mr. Nowak possesses a deep, powerful voice of great compass and his tones are round and hill and exceedingly pleasing. In the air from Oberon he was heard to special advantage.” We shall have the pleasure of hearing Prof. Nowak on May 2, at the Christian church, and his appearance ouggt* to attract all the music-laving people of Rensselaer and the vincinity. .
