Judge Field, vice president and general solicitor of the Monon, and Harry Kurrie, general attorney, are today hunting at Parr- on the Kurrie and Thompson farms. More than $1,000,000 in gold will be given to employes of Crane A Co., the Pullman company, the International Harvester company and the Illinois Steel company - for Christmas. Latest figures show that there are 86,212 people who own stock in the Pennsylvania railroad. They are widely scattered throughout the world and about brfe-half of them are women. Gov. Dunne, of Illinois, lia.4 prepared a proclamation, which will be issued in a few days, quarantining Illinois against nineteen states in the matter of tuberculosis dairy cows. Indiana is included in the list. ■/ , Albert J. Beveridge, former U. S> senator from this state, will be the chief speaker at the rally that will conclude the state conference of the progressive party in Chicago Tuesday. His address will be given at the Progressive Club. The superintendent of the heating plants at Purdue University came to Rensselaer yesterday to make an estimate on the cost of heating the Rensselaer school buildings. Based on his report an adjustment will be made of a Jfriefldly controversy between the school board and the city council. The city heats the school buildings from the light plant and an equitable rate for the service is sought by both the council and the school board. Hives, eczema, itch or salt rheum sets you crazy. Can’t bear the touch of your clothing. Doan’s Ointment is fine for skin itching. All druggists sell it, 50c a box. Frank Hill went to Parr today to be Jim Babcock’s guest and to spend the day quail hunting. When Frank was younger and game morie plentiful and his desire was greater and he had more time and before IK learned the game of checkers, Frank was some hunter, but of recent years he has seldom followed the nimrod’s pursuit, but an occasional day is mighty fine sport. We are afraid that Frank will not be able to fill all the orders that he took at the depot this morning, however. Laurant puzzled and delighted the audience with his unique feats in magic. All who saw him last night will be glad to see him again. —New Orleans Picayune. At High School Auditorium, Wednesday evening, Dec. 17th. A fellow who signs his name Sam Sunshine and gives his address as the Y. M. Chicago, has written to Postmaster Tull at Monon, and asked that the p. m. assist in finding him a wife. He modestly suggests that he prefers a rich farmer’s daughter, whlclj shows that Sunshine has an eye to business that should lead to his ultimate success in life even if his matrimonial desires are never fully realized. Sunshine says he'is a cook. If he will also plead guilty to being a launderer and housekeeper and seamstress and dishwasher that might help to land him a “perfect lady” for a wife. Laurant and his magic were in every sense high class and artistic, clever and mystifying. The most remarkable feat performed was to disappear from the center of the stage and appear on the floor of the theatre.—Omaha World Herald. At High School Auditorium, Wednesday evening, Dec. 17th. Roy Stanton and sister, Miss May, returned Thursday from Flora, where their brother, George, who lost his life by burning in the barn on his farm at Rockfleld, was buried Wednesday. Mystery surrounds the burning, although there is every reason to presume that his death was accidental. He had returned from hunting and had fed corn to the pigs in the lot near the barn. It is believed that he discovered the barn on fire and went in to release a calf and was overcome by smoke. There was no reason why he should take his own life, as his domestic affairs were happy and his financial affairs in good shape.
