Mrs. Erwin is a sister of James Welsh of Marion tp., and Henry Welsh of Remington. It is rumored that the Wheatfield Telephone man is figuring on entering into an alliance with the campaign fund collector of the Barnacle in establishing another daily in Rensselaer. A combination of this kind would, without doubt, cause the rest of the newspaper men here to take to the woods.

Funeral services were conducted at the Christian church yesterday forenoon, by Rev. A. L. Ward. Interment in Weston cemetery. Owing to changes in their affairs our old correspondents at Wheatfield and Dunnville are no longer able to act as such. Both have done excellent work,, both in their writing for The Democrat and in extending its circulation in their respective localities, and we wish to thank them heartily for what they have done and hope their future may be full of good things of this life. The case of ther state vs. Dr. A. E. Kirk of Parr, for practising medicine under a fraudulent certificate and charging that he erased the name from an old certificate and substituted his own, came up in the Clay circuit court Wednesday.

Excellent Entertainment by the Schumanns.

The Daily (Bloomington) Telephone: Th Schumann concert company appeared last night at the college hall. The program was entertaining in every respect, The selections rendered by Miss Letitia Kempster were excellent, and her rendition equalled that of any artist who has ever appeared in a similar company in our city. The harp solos by Miss Alice Meade Martin were especially enjoyable. The voices of the quartette, composed of Miss Simpson, Miss Westfall, Miss Grewisch and Miss Dewey blended perfectly. For part second the quartette gave the kitchen scene from “Martha” in costume. This is the first time this has ever been attempted by a ladies’ quartette, and their rendition of it waa good, especially Miss Simpson as Plunkett. She not only says the part, but is a fine actress. Mias \\ estfall as Loenel, Miss Dewey as Martha, and Miss Grewisch as Julia, took their parts well. Miss Greewisch’s rendition of Deuga’s “If Thou Dost Love Me” was one of the best numbers on the program. She has a remarkable sympathetic voice which she shows to good advantage. The Schumann program is superior to any previous tour, and the entertainment was the eqnai of an}' that has been here for some time. The company will give an entirely different concert to-night and lovers of music should not miss this opportunity to hear such a program. At Ellis’ opera house, Thursday night, Oct. 26..
