Spriggs, of Walker township, was, held in Rensselaer yesterday at almost noon, there having been a delay in arriving here. The service was conducted by Rev. W. G. Winn at the Chiatian church and burial made in Weston cemetery. John J. Porter, of Carpenter township, has missed very few republican county conventions during many years past, but he was unable to get over to the convention Monday owing to illness. His Son, Burr Porter, was one of the delegates and the convention did not forget John J., but elected him a delegate to the state convention.

Mike Kuboski has set a new record for moving. Yesterday he moved from the former Dr. Horton property to one of the Makeever houses on Division street and before the day was over had decided to move out and today moved to the house which Lem Hammerton vacated on West Harrison street. Mr. Hammerton moved to the house Mike vacated. s Arlie Bowen and wife are getting ready to move to Montana and expect to start about the 10th of April. They have not yet determined positively on a location, but will probably take out a claim with a view to permanently locating there. Arlie is a good worker and a good farmer and will doubtless mlake a success as have the many other frontiersmen who have gone to the northwest from Jasper coun ty. W. L. Wood, of Parr, returned yesterday from Cadiz, in southeastern Ohio, where he was called about a week ago to attend s the funeral of his aunt, Mrs. Mary Mahan, aged 75 years. The spring rains caused some high water in that part of the country and there was more or less trouble because of washouts, although'the day of his return there was no delay. He traveled for some distance along the Miami river and the stream was out of its banks in many places. There has been a lot of moving the past two or three days. Kenneth Rhoades and wife moved to the property which R. A. Parkison purchased and in which Ernest Lamson has been living. Simon Leopold moved to the house Harry Jacobs vacated. Philip Blue is storing his household effects preparatory to going to Canada. Editor Healey moved to the former Mayor Spitler house on South Cullen street. W. L. Frye will move to the house vacated by Simon Leopold, which fie recently purchased. Marshal W. A. Shesler went to Hammond Saturday and visited over Sunday with his daughter, Mrs. C. B. Brunsdon. His son, John Shesler, came down from Chicago and met his father at Hammond and then W. R. returned to Chicago with John and visited Northwestern Dental college Monday, seeing Rensselaer’s other students there, namely, Rue Parcells, Lloyd Jessen and Dale Warner. The college is conveniently located in the loop district and many of the students are earning their way through college. C. T. Boicourt returned last week from his .prospecting trip into the south and southwest. He did not get into New Mexico, as he had at first intended, owing to the fact that there are so many Mexicans along the border states since the Mexican war started and they are so objectionable to live among. He has not decided definitely on a location and probably will not before fail. Mrs. Boicourt, whose health has been quite poor, is somewhat improved since she came here front Wolcott and they will probably remain with her mother, Mrs. W. P. Baker, for some time.

T. W. Grant, who solicited money last week to eare for the body of Hairtey Brown, the Ladoga young man who lost his life while bumming from Chicago to his home, used only such sum as was necessary to combine with the money Brown’s old and decrepit- uncle -brought here, to have the body shipped back to Ladoga. Mr. Grant refunded the money pro rata on the following basis. To all who had given $1 he refunded 50 cents, to those who had given 50 cents he refunded 25 cents and retained all from the 25 cent contributors. He then had loft SI.BO, which he turned over to the board of associated charities. We feel sure that Mr. Grant’s disposition of this matter will meet the approval of all those who had contributed to the fund.
