Tom Cain returned yesterday from Indiana Mineral Springs, almost entirely recovered from his rheumatism. Sept. 1 is the date set by the, Newton county commissioners for the letting of the contract for building the new court house at Goodland. >|LUp to and including yesterday rain has fallen 11 of the 18 days of this month. Some days but a few drops fell while at other times quite heavy rain came. The Monon’s excursion to Chicago last Sunday took IDO people from Rensselaer. The train was composed of 17 coaches all but two which were well filled when it pulled out of this station. Quite a number from here attended the Lafayette race meeting and carnival this week. Duvall Bros., Wm. Smith and A. Padgett had horses entered in the races. Padgett’s horse got fourth place in Tuesday’s race. Thursday the Smith horse, owned by Tom McCoy, won first. v on the basement for the K. of P. block has been pushed rapidly this week. The excavating is practically completed at this writing and good headway is being made on the foundation walls. We understand the contract for the building is practically closed, for about $25,000. Anson Chupp, one of the pleasant and obliging grocery clerks in the Chicago Bargain Store, has been taking a vacation this week in which he has combined business with pleasure, and last Tuesday was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Tucker, at. Hortouville, Wis. Anson was to return home with his bride yesterday, and will at once begin housekeeping in the groom’s property in the north part of town. The Democrat extends congratulations >1) epnty Prosecuting Attorney W. H Parkison went to Indianapolis Wednesday and secured the requistiou papers for Samuel L. Howard, foreman on the Warren Springer ranch, iu the northern part of this county. Howard is alleged to have embezzled some S3OO of Springer’s money. He was arrested last week in Chicago bnt refused to return here without a requisitiou. The papers were sent to Chicago Thursday afternoon and Howard will probably be brought back to-day. r*A goodly number of Rathbone Sisters gathered at the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Harris on Division street, Tuesday evening, tlie occasion being a surprise in honor of their daughter, Mrs. Charles Roberta of Carpentersville, 111., who ia here on a visit. The evening was very pleasantly spent with music and games until a late honr. Delicate refreshments of ice-cream and cake was served by the committee, after which the company dispersed, feeling it was well to have been there. The old paper mill at Tioga, including what remained of its contents, has been sold to Condo & Jenkins. The building brought SBO, the iron wheels, etc.. 10 cts hundred. The mill will be torn down and the iron converted into junk. Thus passes out of existence what was once a flourishing industry and a valuable adjunct to Monticello, and it is a sample of hundreds of other small paper mills over the country since the advent of the paper trust It is to be hoped that some one will now secure the splendid water power at that place, and utilize it iu building up some permanent industry.—White County Democrat. Mrs. May Bherrann went on the excursion to Chicngo last Sunday, with her children, and while there the boy, Roger, joined his father, who resides in the Windy City. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman were divorced about a year ago ami the latter was given the custody of the two children and continnedHo reside here. The boy, who is about ten years of age, had told his playmates that he was going to Chicago last Sunday to stay with his father, and tlmt the latter had sent them money to go up on. The mother and ohildren went and the boy staid with his father, whether or not with the mother’s consent we know not, but the report that was circulated here that the boy had been lostve believe to have been without any foundation whatever.
