Mrs. S. B. Holmes, who has been here for the past week, Js now ekpecting her husband to come at almost any time. iMr. Holmes and family moved to Jamestown, N. Dak., about four years ago and the move proved a very unfortunate one for them, as for a number of others who went to Jamestown and vicinity. Not only did they fail to raise paying crops but both Mr. and Mrs. Holmes had sickness that added to their misfortunes. Last fall they shipped their household effects and some stock back here and their two sons came also, Mr. and Mrs. Holmes going to%he home of their daughter, Mrs!\E. F. Thomas, in Minneapolis. Shortly before Christmas Sidney went to Homestake, Mont., where he expected to take out a claim but be has returned to (Minneapolis and Mrs. Holmes expects that he will come on to.

WINTER SLIPPING AND NO ICE YET

Local Dealer May Install Manufacturing Plant il There is No Natural Supply. Prank G. Kresler, the fee dealer, ordered another ear load of factory ice today, it 'being needed by the butchers and restauranteurs. The temperature ds about 60 above zero and the weather is more like May than January. There is not a particle of frost in the ground and except for an excess of moisture farm lands could be plowed. The prospects of getting a supply of natural ice is poor, although good tee is frequently frozen in February. In case there is no cold weather and no ice to harvest it is quite probable that Mr. Kresler will install an ice manufacturing plant. There is a question about the practicability of an ice plant where the demand is no greater than it is in Rensselaer, but It will be a condition and not a theory that will confront Mr, Kresler if there is no natural tee. A plant installed would probably cost from $7.000 to $12,000. The expense of buying manufactured fee shipped in is so great and makes the price to the consumer so high that it will create a hardship to all ice users and will probably affect the prices of meat, butter, etc., while a Rensselaer confectioner remarked a few days ago that he would be compelled to raise the prices on soda water and cream products if the ghipped in artificial ice had to be used. It is probable that a plant here could supply some tee for other places and it might be developed into a big industry. In many places bottling works and tee cream factories are established in connection with the ice making plants.

Ed Lane Established as Life Insurance Agent.

•Vice President Ooverdale, of the Peoples' Life Insurance Co., of Frankfort, who came here to straighten out some tangles for which Roy A. Stanton, a former agent of the company, is held responsible, returned to hi® home this Wednesday noon. He states that the —company—has—s2oo,ooo worth of Insurance in force in this county and much other business in prospect and he has appointed Ed P. Lane, trustee of Newton township, as the local agent. Policy holders or’ others who wish any information about the company or who were left in some uncertainty by Stanton, arc asked to see Mr. lane, who will explain all matters and take care of their interests. Stanton was at Monterey when last heard from. He has settled a number of his local accounts in full or in part and his automobile, which had been attached and advertised to be sold is still at the Main Garage, several of the attachments having been satisfied by him. Stanton remains quite a mystery and poor business methods more than intentional dishonesty seem to have been the cause of nis downfall hem J

B. Forsythe Sells Onions Tor $1.26 a Bushel.

B. Forsythe is shipping a car load of onions today. He has sold al that he had left, getting $2.25 per hundred'pounds, which is $1.26 a bushel and he has until Feb. 15th to make delivery. The moderate weather has been against the onion market, Mr.JPorsythe reports, as the, consumption is only about a quarter as great in warm weather as it is in cold weather in the city of Chicago. Mr. Forsythe feels convinced that the price would have gone to $2 or better if a reasonably cold winter had made its appearance.

Jail is Being Vacated; Will Be Empty Soon.

The Jasper county jail has had several prisoners during the past two or three months, but unless some Hew ones are brought in to take the places of those who a.e now getting out the fail will soon be empty.

Two local young men wbo have for years been frequent imbibers of John Barleycorn, have recently been released after serving jail sentences. Tom, Tanner was released on bail after a week’s incarceration. John Archer has been taken to Kentland for his trial on the charge of chicken stealing and James 3L Willis will be released on next Monday, Fdb. 2nd, after serving 90 days in jail. The only other prisoner is Victor Greenwood, the young man who was caught in the G. E. Murray & Co. store after he and another man who escaped had fitted themselves out with new clothes. He will be tried at the February term of the Jasper circuit court.

Prosecutor Fred Longwdl said when he was here two weeks ago that he would file an affidavit against Willis in Kentland charging him with perjury, based upon his sworn Statement at bis trial that he was not outside the corporation the night that the crime was committed. Since the trial a young man has been found who says that he saw Willis stop his car along the road between the river road and the county farm road, north of the farm residence of Henry Paulus. If this affidavit is filed it is possible that Willis will no more than see his shadow on Feb. 2nd and then be compelled to return to the fail until bond can be supplied him. There is a feeling quite general here, however, that further punishment would be a greater hardship on bis poor parent? and his family than on himself and that it will be just as well to let him out without further attempt to convict him. His wife and children and his wife’s sister have continued to remain here, living with his parents, and it is understood to be his plan to go at once to Springfield, Ohio, to which place his household goods and some of his garage effects were shipped soon after he entered upon his jail sentence.

Hammond Merchant Tried to Steal a Stock of Goods.

A Hammond merchant after purchasing $9,000 worth of high class merchandise during the month of December, tried to settle with his creditors for 25 cents on the dollar. Creditors hired lawyers to look after their interests and one of them went to Hammond and in company with an officer went to the store. All the merchandise exhibited was of a cheap kind, while the better class goods he had purchased were no where in sight. The books showed that the charged articles were all of the poorer quality. Three bright headed nails were noticed just beneath the show window and a board held by them was removed and it was found that about $5,000 worth of goods were concealed. In the basement empty boxes which had been nailed together concealed a ledge in the Wall and here a lot more goods were concealed and the merchant who was trying to defraud his creditors is apt to get a trip to the penitentiary. •

CAN'T DENY IT.

If This Had Happened Elsewhere Instead of Rensselaer Ton Might Doubt It. is The average man is a doubter. This is not surprising—the public have been humbugged so frequently they are skeptical. Proof like the following will stand investigaGharies Malchow, Harvey St, Rensselaer, Ind, says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came up so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. The small of my back was the part most affected but often the pain extended through my shoulders and even into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney ,PiUs and on getting a supply at Fendig's Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I. knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my. back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since then when having similar attacks and I never failed to get relief’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
