Last Sunday evening Dunnville was in an advanced state of acute fermentation. The foundation of society was seemingly gone and turmoil peculiar to an excited populace ensued for a very brief time. It appears by all reports, which was corroborated by the actions of the duelists, that b> being overfed they had stored away in the fighting part of the anatomy an unlimited amount of muscular energy which they thought must be used up. So the two boys of about the same fighting calibre, deemed it just and right to quarrel and if possible to knock the air of Eden out of their moral nature over a little insignificant .misunderstanding. So they quarreled .and they foamed; all of the time putting me tn mind < f a couple of deranged and badly abused soda fountains. Their actions portrayed a desire on their part to whittle one another, but this was defeated by a few Dunnville boys disarming them, leaving them only nature s ■weapons. Did they fight? Why, no! They kissed and made up and in the presence of ail smoked a pipe full of

Andy Anderson is running a threshing machine. Noah Frame talks of driving through to Oklobotna this fall. Mak Sulivan is working in the Model Mills forW. Stockwell & Son. Charley Crawford and wife, better known iieie as Adam and Eve, visited in Manchester Sunday. The wheat crop here was much below the average this year and some fields were a total failure on account of the ravages of the Hessian fly. Corn, however promises a good yield. Lem. Stockwell went to see his best girl on the evening of the election and stayed three days. He first cast a ballot on which were ths names of no one but democrats, which probably caused him to forget himself and stay longer than he intended. The democratic congressional primaries was held, Jiere on election day. The Hon. James D. Richardson was renominated without Opposition. We are proud of our member from this district and trust him big enough to be Bryan's successor to the presidency. The elections passed off quietly here last Monday. The contest was for county offices and for the local officers in the civil districts, which corresponds with the townships in Ind. All the officers elect are democrats, the republicans having no candidates. It looks a little strange to see the ex-Jasperites who were republicans in Indiana working and voting the democratic ticket here. Leslie Clark of the Rensselaer Journal, and G. B. Calahan of Rose Lawn, have purchased the subscription list and good will of the Rose Lawn Review, and the first issue of the paper under its new management appeared this week.

Frank Christian, residing in Illinois, but owning a 320-acre farm south of Remington, has begun suit in the circuit court against Curtis, Taber & Co., and McCray, Morrison & Co., Remington grain dealers, to collect some S4OO for grain sold defendants by plaintiff’s tenants, Truitt, Truitt and Sullivan, and which plaintiff alleges he had a claim by reason of said tenants failing to comply with terms of lease. William B. Chilcote of this city has begun action in the Jasper circuit court for divorce from Lydia V. Chilcote, alleging abandonment. The complaint alleges that the parties were married July 3, 1871, and lived together as husband and wife until Oct. 4, 1897, when defendant without cause wholly abandoned said plaintiff; that her present address is Sibka, Wardenia county, Minnesota; that the fruit of said union was six children, the youngest of whom is now twelve yrars of age and resides with defendant. James W. Douthit is plaintiff’s attorney. The remains of the man killed at Fair Oaks last week were exumed and shipped to the deceased’s sister in Massachusetts, last Friday, she having telegraphed money to pay the necessary expenses. It is now claimed that the man got on the night train at Cedar Lake, where he tried to purchase a ticket for Fair Oaks, but as the train made no stop there the agent would not sell him a ticket for that place, but did sell him a ticket to Rensselaer. It is thought by some that he attempted to jump off at Fair Oaks and struck the switch guard, which caused his death. It is also claimed that the man had worked about a year ago for the Halsteads, west of town, under the assumed name of Henry Atwell.
