Other speakers are l)r. J. N. Hurty, of Indianapolis, Ex-Senator Halleck, of Rensselaer, and John Ade, of Kentland. The next bar docket of the White circuit court will contain the name of a new law firm, Spencer, Hamelle & Cowger. The new member is Clarence R. Cowger, who has had his office with Spencer & Hamelle ever since he was admitted to the bar. His admission to the firm indicates that he has been making good. Suit was brought in the circuit court last week by the Indianapolis, Frankfort, Delphi & Chicago Traction Company to quiet title against John G. Beeghler to a strip of land wanted by the company for its right of way. It is .a strip 50 feet wide lying along a public highway northwest pf Frankfort. John B. Hemphill, an old resident of Wolcott, died at his home there Sunday at an advanced age. He was a charter member of the Wolcott Masonic lodge, and his funeral Tuesday w T as in charge of that order, W. H. Hamelle of this city conducting the ritual ceremony. Interment was made in the “Dobbins cemetery about five miles north of Wolcott. ' W. R. Warne has closed up his business as manager of the Monticello Ice Cream Company on account of unsatisfactory returns on .his investment and will take a rest. He concluded it was better to close while solvent than to continue at a loss. The Icecream part of the business was yielding a fair profit, but he 'says he could not compete with the large concerns in butter making. He may open up an exclusive icecream business later on.

Leonard Turner is passing through a siege of typhoid fever at the Methodist hospital In Indianapolis. His condition is serious, and his friends are very uneasy about him. He has a special nurse and if skilled treatment and careful nursing avail he will pull through. The jjvord received Tuesday evening was a little more favoralble than in the morning. He was still delirious but had been refreshed by deep and was able to take some nourishment. • "Tell Van Pelt,” says James Sprague, “that he has nothing on me when it comes to sleeping after greatness. He lodged in Gen. Rosecran’s old headquarters, but I si- pt in an old tavern at Washington where President Washington had slept.” Mr. Sprague probably can beat the record in another respect. He still has his black doeskin wedding coat and it is in good condition. It was made by Montlcello’s old-time tailor, W. B. Keefer, who was at high tide in business here about fifty years ago.
