Y., stating that his brother, Elmer, had lost his wife. She died Monday, Jan. 25, and burial was made at Kansas City, Mo, No particulars regarding the cause of her death were received. Zura Snedcker, daughter of Mr. sand Mrs. A. B. Snedeker, had an other attack -of appendicitis Monday night and was ebnfined to her bed all last week. This makes a number of attacks she has had since last summer and from the severity of this one, another attack may necessitate an operation. - Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Baker, of Frankfort, got off the milk train Thursday morning and made arrangements at once to have a car load of household goods moved out to the Halligan farm, north of McOoysburg. Mr. Baker has 'bought the Lawler timber and intends working it up this year and had rented this house so as to 'be near his work. But it seems he had rented the house and never seen it and when the household goods were pulled up there they found the house in an unfit condition to live in, so consequently had to pull on to Rensselaer, where they found temporary, quarters over Warner Bros, hardware store. Elvin Bussell returned home Saturday evening from a two weeks’ visit with James Lefler and family. There there he visited two big logging camps, w r hioh were very interesting. One camp was running a force of 85 men. They are now getting the logs cut and hauled to the big Menominee river. They build ice roads and haul a whole carload of logs at one sleigh load and drive right out on the ice to unload. One of those timber jacks there will handle a log alone, that here it w’ould take two or three men to handle.

Miss Jennie Comer came from: Wesley'hospital, Chicago, to spepd.l yesterday and today.

The “charity ball” to be given Wednesday evening of this week is given by the Rensselaer Orchestra and not the Van Rensselaer Club, although the orchestra is largely composed of Van Rensselaer Club members. The orchestra is composed of ten pieces and the members have been practicing hard for a long time and are generously donating their services for the dance. This will be their first public appearance.
