A number of farmers in town today report that very few are able to work in the fields yet on account of the moisture. Editor Bartoo, of The Remington Press, is back on the job again after being laid up for a couple of weeks with stomach trouble. Sanford Rogers, a married man living at Monon, died Wednesday ait the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn., where he had been taken for treatment some two weeks ago. Leslie Clark, of The Republican, went to Martinsville today to spend a few days at the National Sanitarium before accompanying the republican editors of the state on their trip to Corydon and Louisville. Mrs. Lucy Shields, widow of James Shields, died at Monon Thursday morning. She was the mother of Mrs. Bayard T. Clark, of Pueblo, Colo., and of Miss Stella Shields, who taught school in Rensselaer a number of years ago and who now lives in California. Ensign Homer Graf, who graduates this week from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md., will arrive here tomorrow for a visit with his unde, Sergeant J. M. Sauser.

Erhart Bixenman, who has owned the opera house in Lowell for some time, has disposed of it this week to a man named Babcock, who traded a farm of 368 acres near North Judson for the business place. The farm is valued at $23,000, which has three sets of buildings and growing crops, and the opera house was put in on the trade for $12,000. It is said the deal will be closed at once. Dreyfull Bonham was plowing on his farm near Switz City, when his playshare caught on an old iron chain and brought to the surface a tin can containing many silver half dollars. Mr. Bonham made a search of the spot and dug up $159 all in half dollar pieces. The old can, the rusted chain and the discolored condition of the money and the date on the coins, some running back to 1854, indicates that the money had been buried many year.—Bloomington World. Under the new laiw land owners along highways shall, between June 15 and September 1, cut down all briars, thistles, burs, docks, tall grass, shrubs and other growths which in any manner obstruct the view of any highway. By so doing the land owner will receive $1.50 a day, the work to be done under the supervision of the road supervisor in charge of the road district If the owner fails to do this, on his own volition or on complaint of interested parties, may cause the weeds to be cut down and the charge made a lien against the property. A report of the last federal inspection of the National Guard of Indiana shows the companies of the state to be quite generally in a very weak condition and federal support was withdrawn from ten companies and their equipment ordered turned in and stored until a reorganization can be effected. The third regiment to which the Rensselaer and Monticello companies belong got by the inspection but were ranked as poor. An effort is to be made to revive deeper interest in tfie citizen-soldiery of the state and to bring the companies to a much improved condition by the next inspection, which will be in 1916. The companies are warned that failure to comply with the law which requires them to conform to the “organization, armament, training and discipline of the regular army” will mean the withdrawal of federal support As a brigade the guard is held not to be a federal asset and the first and second regiments may be consolidated before the forthcoming camp.
