Henry Hunsicker of Wheatfield, | was in the city on business Mon- I day. He was accompanied down 1 bv Mrs. Perry Hodge, who recent-! I'y received an injury to one of her eyes and came down to consult Dr. ! Washburn. The injury was | found to be caused by a small sliv- I er or twig which had penetrated I the eye-ball. The doctor removed ; the sliver and she went home rejoicing. Reason M. Dunn of De Motte. ( gives notice through the Semi Weekly Apologist that he will ap-1 ply for a license to dispense in- 1 toxicants to the thirsty of “Honest Abes’’ town at the November meeting of the commissioners. A li-i cense notice must be published in a weekly paper, and a semi-week-ly doesn’t fill the bill, therefore Mr. Dunn’s application can easily be defeated. Attorney’ A D. Babcock of Goodland, and Henry Barton and Charlie Stath of near Foresman, were in the city Wednesday on business connected with the estate of the late W. W. Watt, who was killed by a Panhandle train at the Welch crossing, east of Goodland, some months ago. We understand that an action for damages will soon be instituted against the railroad company.

His brothjer-in-law, Daniel Denger of White county.-who accompanied the party 1 , also nought a. quarter section close by Mr, Reed’s/ Both gentlemen were very fa\orably improved with the country, and say that it is enjoying quite a land boogi. They think the price of land Fill advance greatly. If Mr. Reed sells his Jordan tp., farm he will move to Dakota. old bridgtyht Lafayette, known as Browjt streps bridge, and which was built LyT.B47, was completely burned Gnliday night. Some yeare kincef/ the county bought it id far jUDie old toolhouse <bi the east ehd also burned, and Robert Trett, formerly the tollgate keeper, was rescued by the merest accident. He was delirious when dragged to safety. The cause is attributed to incendiarism. It was constructed of heavy oak timber, and originally there was a “draw” to permit the passage of boats. The county carried an insurance of $7,000. The structure will be replaced by a new steel one.—Monticello Journal.

Quite a number from Wheatfield were also in attendance, S..C. E Tyner of Monon, ably filled the Noble Grand chajr during the initiation. The new lodge starts out with a membership of 23, and will hold its meetings in the hall in the John Kimble building.

WON’T HAVE THE OFFICE.

The circuit court appointed Grant Warner, Judson J. Hunt, James F. Ellis, Lucius Strong and Robt. White as city commissionioners, in the place of those who recently resigned, to act until their successors are elected and qualified. Of those appointed only one, Grant Warner, has qualified, all the others having refused the appointment. As the office is one where a man cannot be compelled to serve, it is said, and the prospects are not bright for any set of men accepting, owing to the action of the city council in setting aside the reports of the eld board, there is no telling when a board can be secured. , Until one is appointed, and acts on the improvement about the public square, the city cannot issue bonds or pay for same, and there you are.

"OLD LANG SINE”

Morocco Courier: The other day we ran across an old friend—the Rensselaer Football Bulletin—and we just cried like a child, we were so glad. Along about a year ago, if our treacherous memory is not at fault, old George Marshall, the editor, made the mistake of his life by insulting us, and we sassed back and probably said things that hurt George’s feelings. Leastwise he didn't do a thing but stop sending the Bulletin —jist nach’ly left us to worry along by ourself and 'with what we could steal from our other exchanges. Sometimes we venture to hope that George will forgive us and send us the Bulletin again; for it’s pesky hard, yes it’s pesky hard to be treated as an alien to the commonwealth and as a stranger to the convenant of Israel. Gwagie won’t you? Won’t you send us the Bulletin, Gwagie, just once more? Oh, Gwagie!

WANTS MESSENGER PARDONED.

Starke County Democrat, Bert Messenger of Monon, a brother of William Messenger, who was sentenced to prison for life by Judge Beeman, Jan. 10, 1898, following a verdict by a jury finding him guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of Charles Nelson at San Pierre on the night of Aug. 12, 1898, was here Tuesday. He is making an effort to secure a pardon for his brother, and was here for that purpose. William Messenger has been in the Michigan City prison nearly four years, and is now foreman in the clothing department. It is said that be has been a model prisoner, never having merited punishment or even a reprimand. He is a prisoner of the first class and is permitted to wear clothing without stripes in recognition of his good behavior.

IN THE ’LESS AGE.

The coatless man put a careless arm around the waist of a hatless girl, as over the dustless and mudless roads in a horseless carriage they whirl. Like a leadless bullet from a harmless gun by smokeless powder driven, they ily to taste the speechless joy of endless union given. Though the only lunch his coinless purse affords to them the means, is a tasteless meal of boneless cod with a “side” of stringless beans; he puffs a tobaccoless cigarette and laughs a mirthless laugh when papa tries to coax her back by wireless telegraph.

Starke County Democrat. Pollard, Goff & Co., th e contractors forthe Placeditch, have nearly a mile of the big channel in th© Kankakee river excavated.
