PAID LAST OF LOCAL MATCH CO. CLAMS

Attorney For U. S. Match Co. Left Checks for Enough to Pay Last Indebtedness Here. E. B. Zigler, of Elkhart, attorney for W. W. Sterling and the United States Match Co., was in Rensselaer Thursday morning and paid the last of the claims of local creditors. Attorney G. A. Williams had the claims of J. C. Gwin & Co. and the Rensselaer Lumber Co., amounting to between SSOO and S6OO. Mr. Zigler left checks to cover these claims. Attorney J. A. Dunlap has a claim of the Central Rubber & Supply Co., of Indianapolis, amounting to about $670. It is on this claim that the factory buildings are ordered sold at public auction, the sale to take place next Thursday, Feb. 27th. Mr. Zigler saw Attorney Dunlap and tried to arrange for a postponement of the sale with a promise of a later settlement and Mr. Dunlap called up the Indianapolis office of the creditors but they refused to be longer put off and if the claim is not settled beforehand the buildings will be sold next Thursday. The sale does not include the land but the improvements only. The company has been whittling away on the’ claims for some time and it is very pleasing for the two lumber companies'to have received their pay in full. At one time these two claims aggregated in excess of $3,000.

ONE OF HOMER BABB’S ASSAILANTS IN JAIL

Homer Heath Arrested and Held Here in Default of Bail—Partner Left at East St. Louis. Homer Heath, better known by the nickname of “Simp” Heath, one of the Remington young men who recently assaulted and robbed Homer Babb, at his home nesr Fountain Park, was arrested at the home of William Lyons at Remington at about 11 o’clock Wednesday night. Heatji was seen at Goodland that day by Jasper Guy, of Remington, who reported the fact after his arrival home. Marshal Rush and Constable Thomas, of Remington, learned that Heath had started to that town ' and when they arrived at the Lyons home found him in conversation with his mother. They arrested him and he was lodged in jail over night. The next day a preliminary hearing was given him and he pleaded guilty, talking freely about the crime and blaming it all to Louis Ford. He said Ford planned the hold-up, slugged Babb and that they left together, walking to Sheldon, 111., where they cajight a freight train and went to St: Louis. Heath said that Ford stiff had Babb’s watch. His bail was placed at S3OO, which he was unable to give and he was brought to Rensselaer Thursday afternoon and lodged in jail.

Squire Bussell Gets in His Work on Another Couple.

Zelpha Z. Jeffries, of McCoysburg, who was 15 years of age last August, and Jesse Ford Brown, of Barkley township, who was 17 last October, will be married tonight by Squire Bussell, of Hanging Grove township, who is getting to be the busiest marrying squire in the county. The youthfulness of this couple would ordinarily be the cause of objection, but there seem to be reasons for the waiving of these objections and from the prominent part a justice of the peace was playing it is evident that it is high time, for the ceremony.

Took Money From Bank— Lost it in Burned Home.

Newton County Enterprise. The dwelling house on the Fred Mashino farm, west of Lake Village, was destroyed by fire Friday night. The house was occupied by the Gehardstein brothers, formerly of this township, and they were away from home at the time of the fire. They were expecting to move in a few days and had drawn $450 out of a Momence bank and placed it in a bureau drawer at home, and this went up in smoke with the house and furnishings.

A good letter was today received from Augustus Phillips, who had a Trick coming because his Republican was not reaching him regularly. He said: “I can’t stand that, for the old paper is just like one of Abb’s company dinners, I sure miss them. Get away from home awhile and see for yourself. I don’t forget home and therefore I want the paper, both the Tuesday and the Friday paper (I think they art paid for?). I see by the last one that they are trying a frontier day in Rensselaer again. Must have been a close shave. I am getting along fina having a great rest from the arduous work in which I was engaged so long and I am well pleased. I get terribly homesick sometimes, but I don’t know when I will get back there. 1 want to go to Europe this summer and if I do I will run home for a week. My best to you and to all Rensselaer.”

A very disastrous sleet storm occurred in Chicago and northwestern Indiana last night or early this morning, doing a great amount of damage. The Western Union did not have any wires in operation out of Chicago for some time and it was almost noon before the Rensselaer office got into communication with that city. J. J. Montgomery, who returned home from Chicago on the 11:32 train, states that the sleet was bad at Hammond but had largely disappeared at St. John. Matthew T. Taggart, of South Bend, was badly injured in an explosion in the laboratory at Purdue university, Lafayette. He was experimenting with some chemicals whsn the mixture exploded. It Is feared that he will lose the sight of both eye*.

PRAYER IN SENATE HALTED BY O’NEILL

Minister Charged With Making a Political Speech When Asked to Make Opening Prayer. Rev. J. R. Henry, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist church of Indianapolis, was offering a prayer Thursday at the opening of the state senate when the gavel of LieutenantGovernor O’Neill struck the desk and Mr. O’Neill said: “You are here to make a prayer and not a political speech. The clerk will proceed with the reading of the journal.” Rev. Henry asked Almighty God to Speed the day when the state would break its partnership with the liquor traffic and cease filling the penitentiaries, jails and poor houses with the victims of rum. This was not very different from many other prayers that have been offered in the senate but Mr. Henry continued: “And we pray to God that the partnership between the state and criminals shall be dissolved.”

Bang went the gavel of the presiding officer. The minister brought his prayer to a sudden close and hurriedly left the senate chamber. The incident caused a big sensation, for it is the first time a minister has ever been called down whilf making a prayer in the legislature of Indiana. In speaking of the affair Mr. O’Neill said: “The prayer was an insult to the senate. I did not r& gard it as proper conduct on the part of the minister. His reference to rum and the liquor business was all right. I agree with everything he said on that subject and I did not object to that part of the prayer. But when he prayed for a dissolution of the partnership between the state and criminals I regarded that as going too far and casting an insult in the faces of the senators, so I stopped him. He was supposed to be offering a prayer to God for His blessing on the senate and not to bq making a political speech. God does not need any advice on politics and that was what this minister was offering.” Rev. Henry had made a similar prayer in the house before going to the senate chamber.

HOW TO ARRANGE PARTY FOR CHILDREN ON FEB. 22.

For a children's Washington party decorate the room prettily with flags and pictures of Washington and Mount- Vernou. Have a paper hatchet in which there is a pin for each child. Blindfold each child, oue at a time, and have him pin the hatchet on the nose of Washington. A large cheap print may be obtained for this purpose. This will make lots of fun. Award a cherry log cabin box filled with candied cherries. Then have these riddles—children just love to guess them: What holds all the snuff in the world? No one knows (nose). What makes a man baldbeaded? Waut of hair. Why is it impossible for a bare beaded boy to cut down a cherry tree? Because he hasn’t a hat yet (hatchet). In what age do we find the happiest men? Marriage. To what island should women be banished? The isle of Man. What is the name of the meat popular ship in the world ? Courtship. . . Where is a good place for a hungry man? Sandwich Islands. Where should a person go to find happiness? To the dictionary. ' What would you do if you were caught with a stolen watch? Give It up.
