On Sunday last Dr. Poole, assisted by Dr. hammers, amputated the right leg of Mary, the 12-year old daughter of John Bolling, above the knee. The little girl injured her leg some weeks ago, in climbing on a wagon, and gangrene set in, necessitating amputation. She stood the operation well,

and it is hoped she will recover.

The DePauw football team went to St. Louis to play the Tigers, of Missouri State University, on Saturday, and they played ’em to the time of 35 to 0, the big end of the score belonging to the Tigers. DePauw’e team seems to be too gentle to win; they have the weight and they understand the game, but they lack the dash and vim, and vigor and dogged determination to do die, that is necessary to win against agressive enemies on the gridiron. We hope they’ll let out a link or two in the

next game.

On Friday morning W. L. Denman entered upon his official duties as Auditor of Putnam county, and received the congratulations of a host of friends. We feel confident in assuring the people that Mr. Denman will prove an accommodating and efficient official, ever ready to give information to the people in regard to the affairs of his office, and that he will conduct the business of the office in a correct and capable manner, and to the entire satisfaction of the public. Mr. Joseph Mulholn has been retained as deputy auditor, and will prove capable and efficient, as he has always done. The W. H. &. F. M. Society of the Presbyterian Church met with Mrs. Jackson, on Friday evening twas the 59th anniversary of the socity in Greencastle, having been organized in November, 1836, by Mrs. John 8. Jennings. Among those in attendence at the meeting, on Friday, were five of the tlrsr memliers of the society, to-wit: Mrs. Piioebe Tennant, Mrs. Virginia Lee, Mrs. Mary Jones, Mrs. Mary Allison, and Mrs. Dolores Brandt. Mrs. G’harles Smith read the paper of tRe meeting on missionary work in Persia; Mrs. T. O. Hammond talked of the first organization of the Society, and heartily greeted those present who took part in the same, and interesting a,ul appropriate remarks were made by others. Refreshments were served and all present report it a most delightful and pleasant meeting.

Peer! Kestcrson Elopes With Peter Cooper. On Monday, Pearl, wife of Charles Kesterson, who resides in Alex. Lockridge’s property, in the northwest portion of this city, eloped with Peter Cooper, a tinner employed by Caarles Waggoner. They left on the Monon train, northward bound, at noon, and the supposition is that these wicked people were headed for the wicked city of Chicago. Kesterson was at his work as a section hand on the-Big Four, when his wife left, and he knew nothing of the affair until he returned from his labor, in the evening, and found his domicile dark, his wife absent, and no one to welcome him save “the little pug deg,” as ho states the case. He says he was much worried over the disap pearanee of his wife for an hour or so, until he found out the true state of the case, and thi n worry gave way t o joy- he rejoiced that he had gotten rid of hei when he had knowledge that she was builded on that

plan

He says also that e’en though she was a high tempered woman he managed to get along with her fairly well, as he was industrious and a steady worker, and a good provider, but the tempter came, she was tempted, and the twain hsve gone to their reward, which will doubtless be remorse long

felt.

The erring wife’s ir.arden name was Pearl Strother, and she is a cousin of A1 Strother, formerly of this city. Kesterson married her at Campellsburg, a little over six years ago. She became acquainted with Cooper some time ago, and he was a frequent visitor at her house; Kesterson heard of his visits through the neighbors, and spoke to him about it, saying that he wished him to discontinue his visits as it caused gossip. Cooper promised to stay away, and the couple then met by appointment elsewhere. The unpleasantness resulting was talked over by Kesterson

and wife, on Sunday night, when she j agt vearsaid she wanted a divorce. He agreed i , , ‘

are sure, which surpass Dr. John’s etfort last night in (dearness of expression, aptness of illustration and

goncy of logic.”

On Saturday afternoon the Theta Alumnae Club met at Ladies’ Hall, with Miss Julia Druley. Mendelssohn was the subject for the afternoon, and the conversation thereon was led by Miss Druley, the vocal and instrumental selections from his work being given byMiss Helen Bircli and Messrs Gilbert and Burlingame. After the literary and musical feast, dainty refreshments were served, and the afternoon was pleasantly and profitably

spent.

County Recorder Dan Hurst is now an Ex-Recorder, having completed his term of office on Thursday. Dan has proven a genial and efficient officer, giving careful and unceasing attention to his duties and has merited the esteem and confidence of the public in the transaction of the business of the office. He will, from this time on look carefully to the in dexing and recording of seed time and harvest at his farm, west of this city, aud we doubt not, will make good record in attending to his duf ies as a tiller of the soil. On Wednesday morning, bright and early, John W. Rains, aged 22 an l Edith E. Davis, aged 20, of Ver million, Ills., put in appearance at the Clerk’s office, as applicants for license to marry. When Major Cullen arrived he attended to their wants, and began an active skirmish to find a parson. Finally the services of Dr. Hollingsworth were se cured, and the twain were made one before a number of witnesses who had gathered in. The groom said was not an elopement; that there was no particular reason for leaving home to get married, but they just took the notion to do so, drove to Paris, Ills,, Tuesdav night, and there took the train lor this city. Farmere’ Institute. The Putnam County Farmers’ Institute will be hold at Bainbridge, on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6 and 7. The speakers a singed to Putnam county are O. M. if .bbs and W. W. Stevens, both of Salem, Ind.; there is no announcement, os yet, of tlie subjects they will discuss at the Insti-

tute.

Boland - O’Connell. On Monday morning, at 7 o’clock, Mr. John J. Boland, of Terre Haute, and Miss Maggie O’Connell, daughter ot Mr. and Mrs. Thomas O’Connell, of this city, were married at St. Paul’s Church, this city, Father McLaughlin pronouncing the marriage service. There were a large number of invited guests present to witness the marriage. After leaving the church the bridal party partook of a bounteous wedding breakfast at the home of the bride’s parents, and in the afternoon the bride and groom left for their future home, at Terre Haute, where the groom is an active young business man- He is to be congratulated on securing so charming a bride; the many friends extend congratulations and good wishes, in which the StarPbkss heartily joins.

On Monday morningOfficerDonnohue was given a pointer that a full fledged game of craps was on in the second story of the business block on the southeast corner of the public squre, aud ho imn-.edlately proceeded to investigate. He found a watcher on duty at t he foot of one of the stairways, but the other was unguarded, and he took his way upward via the litter, arid advanced so cautiously that the players were caught with bones and money on the table. The players arrested were Harry Rhoades, Bob Robinson and Delmcr Ernest; the fourth one got away before he could be arrested. The three named were paraded before Cadi Birch, and he assessed them $13.60 each in tine and costs. Rhoades and Ernest stayed their finos : and Robinson went

to jail.
