A number of oil and gas leases in Gillam, Wheatfield, Walker and Kankakee townships have recently been filed in the recorder’s office.

The apple harvest throughout Central New York will be one of the lightest in years. This is owing partly to the prevalence of the caterpillar, but principally to the blight of the blossoms. Western New York will produce about onefourth of an average crop. Notwithstanding the marked shortage of apples in this State’ one of the heaviest apples dealers in the Unied States, Mr. Thore of Philadelphia, who has just completed a tour of inspection reaching from Maine to Oregon, states that there will be more apples in the United States and Canada than there will be market for.—New York Ex. Luce Bond, who has spent the summer in the famous Klondike gold regions of Alaska returned home Tuesday looking hale and hearty. Luce says there is plenty of gold there but it is not on claims now accessible. His party were not successful in locating a “find” and all returned save two. He left Dawson August 25th and readied Chicago Sept. 29th, without seeing a sick day, and estimates thatljy disposing of his outfit at the price he did, his entire trip cost him less than §3OO. This is surely a cheap summer’s outing and one filled with enough hardships, excitements and hairbreadth escapes to satisfy the most fastidious. On the same boat with his party were 300 men and three women, and only one man in the lot had found gold. This man had about SIOO,OOO with him.—Remington Press.

Mrs. Sarah E. Clark of Milroy township, has begun suit for damages against her husband, Chas. E. Clark, for abandonment. They were married May 28th, 1898, and defendant is alleged to have abandoned her August 18. She asks that the defendant be compelled to pay her S2OO per year as support and after the birth of her child S3OO, per year. The firntiff’s maiden name was Blackmore, and she is now but 18 years of age. The Benton Review is authority for the statement that “Sister” Mary Travis, a lady preacher well known in the southern part of this county, died at Newcastle, Ind., last week and was buried at Gilboa cemetery in Benton county, Saturday. Deceased had but lately returned from Africa, where she spent about two years as a missionary. She was 28 years of age, was an earnest Christian, and had many friends in the northeastern part of Benton county, where she resided.

The republican organs here are attempting to make campaign material out of the fact that J. F. Major was one of the signers whoexpressed himself in favor of the building of a new court house here when the petition for and against the , scheme was circulated in the south[em part of the county. They neg- , lect to add, however, that at the time said petition was circulated the avowed intention of the board was for a court house to cost complete only about one-half the amount that they finally put into the structure. By the way. we believe the Rensselaer Republican stated very positively to its readers time and again that its cost could not exceed the 2 per cent, bonded limit, but the ring who conducted the business bonded the county for about 4 per ©ent. and paid several thousand dollars in excess of that received from the bonds. The ring organs are indeed hard up for campaign material. ~

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, our beloved fellow teacher and citiiea, Elwood W. Spriggs, answered the call of President McKinley for volunteers and while in camp willing and ready at any moment to go forth to battle in defense of the honor of his native land was suddenly mustered out by the Great General, Therefore, we, the teachers of Keener township, tender this resolution as an expression of our heartfelt sorrow and sympathy to his bereavedfamily, his only child, other relatives and many friends. Resolved, that Elwood W. Spriggs was a most excellent teacher always kind and cour teous to both parents and pupils, beloved and admired by his fellow laborers in the educational field, and in his death we lose one of our most esteemed associates.
