Whooping Cough. A woman who has had experience with the disease, tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost some of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy.

The firm of Ellis & Murray will Boon be dissolved and Mr. Ellis will leave Rensselaer for some other state for the benefit of bis wife’s health, we understand. XMr. Ellis is one of our most popular and progressive citizens and we are sorry to learn of his contemplated removal from Rensselaer. Mr. and Mrs. George Hanna, of near Kniman, were called to ■ Flora, Carroll county, last week by i the serious illness of the former's sister. They returned home Wednesday, and the sister having become somewhat better, was taken west, with the hope that her health would be fully restored. The neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R. Keever. who were married May 9, gathered at the home of the groom near* Parr, on the evening of their marriage, thirty strong, and greeted the newly wedded pair with a fine supper and an abundance of good wishes, for which both the groom and bride feel deeply thankful. X The team driven to Penn’s sprinkling wagon endeavored to add to the runaway excitement of the week last Monday and dashed west on Washington street at an unseemly gait. Fred Parcels ran out and caught them near Parcels' barber shop at considerable risk to his physical anatomy, and no damage resulted.'/sj’hey had taken fright while the tank was being filled on South Van Rensselaer street. J Sheriff Hardy and Mrs. Logan Wood met at Burk’s bridge Monday afternoon, going in opposite directions. The pole of Hardy's buggy dropped down and his team took fright and overturned the buggy. This started the latter’s horse and Mrs. Wood leaped from the bridge into the water while the horse ran to Jamee Cowden’s farm, where it turned into the barn. Neither of the partiee were hurt but Hardy’s buggy was quite badly used up.

Everybody is going to see “A Wise Woman” at Ellis opera house to-night. Come in and carry away a bundle of those old papers for a nickel; they are just the thing for putting on shelves, under carpets, etc. The appellants’ brief in the Iroquois ditch case was filed in the supreme court Tuesday. The ap-< r Plants’ brief in the case of Frank isher vs. J. G. Perry was also filed Tuesday. Appellants' brief in the case of Wm. H. Randle, administrator, vs Samuel W. English was filed in the appellate court Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Simon Kenton bf near Surrey.met with a runaway accident while coming to town Wednesday afternoon. Their horse became frightened near the Monon crossing, east of W. S. Coen's residence, and started to run. Both occupants were thrown out and Mrs Kenton’s right hip was discolated, while Mr. Kenton escaped with a few bruises.

The petitioners in the old Iroquois ditch case have our thanks for a copy of the brief in their appeal to the supreme court. The document is very voluminous, containing 93 printed pages. The brief was prepared, we understand, under the supervision of Judge Thompson, who was the chief petitioner in the case and who is also most affected by the decision of the lower court, that the petitioners must pay the costs incurred, some $3,500.

A company of American artists beaded by Miss Marie Lamour presenting a comedy of American Authorship, which however received its initial production at the Strand theatre, London, will be the attraction at the Ellis opera house to-night (Saturday) May 18. The play referred to is Wilfoid Clarke’s brilliant comedy, “A Wise Woman,” and its presentation in this country has so far proven a duplicate of its success in the British metropolis This piece held the boards of the Strand theatre for nearly 250 nights to capacity business, aud this fact alone would seem to be an unanswerable argument of success. Miss Lamour, the charming comedienne, who is being featured in the title role of “A Wise Woman” was recruited from the brilliant corps of players at Daly's New York theatre, and the faith that was placed in her ability to make a success in a stellar capacity has so far been more than justfied by the results. The best evidence of this is that, not only do the critics praise her. but tremendously large audiences have greeted her almost every night of the season.

Serious Runaway.

kjLsst Sunday afternoon while Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Nowels of Jordan tp., were driving out of town on their way hoipe, their horse be came frightened nt a cow that was picketed by the side of the street, near Charlie Robinson’s and jumped ditch, overturning the buggy and drngging Mr. Nowels some distance. Mrs. Nowels’ left shoulder and collar l>o»e was broken, while Mr. Nowels had five ribs broken and was otherwise bruised somewhat. Both were taken to Mr. Robinson’s residence and medical attendance summoned nt once. They are still nt Mr. Robinson’s at this writing and are getting along as well as could be expected.

Dexter, aged about 18 vehrs, a son of Daniel Dexter of Morocco, was killed in a runaway at Newland, a new town on 'the Gifford railroad, Thursday afternoon. The young man was working for Harry Gifford and was using a heavy roller. The team became frightened and ran away and young Dexter was killed from being thrown and striking against a tree. The remains were taken to Morocco for burial.

George Healy Assaults M. M. Tyler.

Considerable excitement was occasioned in the city Thursday night over an alleged most unprovoked ashault by George Healy upon M. M. Tyler. The facts in the matter as near as we can learn them after careful inquiry are about as follows : Mr. Tyler lives here in Mrs. Healy’s (George’s mother’s) house, he alleging to have leased it for a year and that the year is up June Ist. A month or so ago, when Mrs. Healy desired to move back hem from Brookston, she wanted Tyler to get out, but Im, alleging that he had leased the house with the distinct understanding that he was to have it for a year, and also that he intended to move to. Rose Lawn where he is in charge of a store owned by Laßue Bros., and did not want to leave Rensselaer until school was out here, which his children were attending, did not want to get out until the year was up. Thursday evening he came down from Rose Lawn to assist in finishing packing up his household goods to move to that place. About 7 o’clock in the evening he went into Milliron’s restaurant and with Wm. Porter, the laundryman, was eating a lunch. George Healy followed him in. Healy did not know Mr. Tyler personally, but Mr. Porter introduced them and Healy at once began at him about bis moving out of his mother’s house.

Healy grabbed him by the coat collar as he sat upon the 6tool and began poundiug him, and is said to have beaten him up terribly, Tyler, taken at a complete disadvantage, offering little if any resistance to the unlooked-for assault. Mr. Porter interfered and Healy was finally induced to desist. The whole thing occupied but a few moments time. Mr. Tyler was assisted home and his injuries attended to. We are informed that two cuts in the face and forehead and one in the back of the head required several stitches to sew up, while his back was wrenched badly and a large lump is raised thereon, caused no doubt from striking against a stool or some other obstruction. A warrant was sworn out in the circuit court for Hoaly’s arrest, but before service was had on it he was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Ross Hawkins in Justice Troxell’s court. Tyler was unable appear Thursday night and the case was continued until such time as he is able to appear in court, which will perhaps not be for several days. The statement has been made, we understand, that Tyler was behind in his rent, wouldn’t pay nor wouldn’t get out, etc., but we are informed that this is untrue. LrRue Bros., for whom he is working, state that they have always found Mr. Tyler a good, quiet, peaceable citizen, who desires to treat every one fairly, and they with practically everyone we have heard speak of the affair, condemn the assault in unmeasured terms. Mr. Tyler formerly resided at DeMotte, this county, and is well known and respected in Jasper and neighboring counties. Healy formerly resided here, but for several years lived at Brookston whero he conducted a paper. He moved here a couple of weeks ago to take charge of the management of the Rensselaer Republican.
