Mrs. Farrow accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Matson, to Chicago, on Wednesday. John Higdon is expeced home from New York to-day. His brother, Prof. Jas. Higdon, is reported convalescent.

The Roachdalc Bank was assessed at $25,000. * The Greencastle Water Works Co. was assessed at $75,000. The Greencastle Gas Co. was assessed at $10,400. The Greencastle Street Railroad was assessed $150. The Greencastle Electric Light Co was assessed at $11,000. Sun Stroke. Monday afternoon Willis, son of Mr. James Wright, of Floyd township, was prostrated by the extreme heat. Doctor Terrell was summoned and gave him all possible attention. At last accounts the young man was still unconscious, and suffered greatly at times. It was hoped, however, that he would recover. The facts as we glean them are that Willis had gone out with the team to haul a load of wood. After an absence of about an hour and a half his mother became anxious because he had not returned, and went in search of him. She found him in the wagon reclining on the seat, unconscious, and the team was wandering along eating grass. Willis had apparantly been very sick, and had vomited freely. He was in a critical condition at last accounts.
Cutting Scrape.
On Saturday morning a resident of North Greencastle named Kelley re ported to Deputy Prosecutor James that while he lay peacefully on his downy couch wooing the god of sleep a tramp of daring mein and with blood in his eye entered his domicile and demanded a square meal. KTelly said he could not furnish it, and the tramp vowed he would have bread or blood. He drew' his deadly dirk, Kelley grasped his knife, and the conflict began. In the melee Kelley was cut in the arm, and he vows he slashed his opponent in the back. No one saw the conflict; noone saw the tramp; Mr. Kelley is the sole authority upon which this tale of blood is based.
Mrs. Tompkins is breaking ground, preparatory to building a new residence, on Bloomington street. Mrs. Anna Murphy is here from California visiting her sister, Mrs. John T. Christie, and other relatives. Arthur, the 9-year old son of Geo. Winkler, fell out of Cooper’s barn, on Sunday, and received a bad scalp wound which was sewed up by Dr.
Leatherman.
Some men W'ould sooner w r rite P. M. after their name than A. M. The reason is, doubtless, that P. M. has a liberal annual salary attached, while A. M. is purely honorary. The Evansville Courier of last Monday says: The Greencastle StarPress is in line with unrattled Democracy everywhere when it declares that “the repeal of the Sherman law should be closely and firmly coupled to a silver coinage law that can and will maintain a parity between gold and silver coin.” Dr. G. C. Smythe was called to Quincy, Ind., on Saturday, to conduct a post mortem examination of the remains of Richard Mugg, a farmer who had died the day before, and the family were not satisfied as to the cause of death. The examination disclosed the fact that death was caused by cancer; the liver, stomach and kidneys all being affected. Henry C. Kelly and family, of Dallas, Texas, M. H. Kelly and family, and Fred Davis, of Aberdeen, South Dakota, and Master Raymond Pruitt, of Chicago, are visiting A. T. Kelly and family. They picnioed at Fern, on Wednesday and had a most enjoyable time. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Kelly and their visitors go to Annapolis, Parke County, in a few days, and hold a family reunion at the residence of Mr. Kelly’s father. In harmony with the duty of the day, and by way of impressing that duty upon the minds of all concerned, the following serious rhyme is presented: Lives of great men oft remind us honest toil don’t stand a chance; more we work we leave behind us bigger patches on our pants. On our pants once new and glossy now are patches of different hue; all because subscribers linger and won’t pay up what is due. Then let all be up and doing: send in your mite be it so small, or when the snows of winter strike us we shall have no pants at
all.

Shot in the Nose.
On Saturday night a social was given in Carpentersville, by the Odd Fellows, and those present were having a good time until one Dan McHergue made his appearance on the outside and demonstrated a disposition to create a row. He failed to ar range matters to his satisfaction for some time, but finally interviewed Bailey Wiles. The latter said he understood lhat McHergue was spoiling for a light, and after a few words Wiles knocked him down; as he attempted to rise he was again promptly floored. McHergue then pulled his 32-calibre pistol and banged away at Wiles the bullet struck him in the lower part of the right nostril and ranged downward toward the back of his head. A surgeon was summoned and the wound was dressed. Wiles’ injury is considered quite serious but
not fatal.
