The color is still quite had. N . W. Duvall has again engaged in the bu6s business, having purchased the Nowels House buss of John Jones. SAir.

Quite a number of the business men are objecting to the blocking of the street in front of their places of business during carnival week, and it is possible that the hootchie-cootchie shows will, be placed on the south and east sides of the public square, as suggested by The Democrat last week. Leonard, the 7-year-old son of Harry Alter, who formerly run the tile mill north of town, now of near Russiaville, Howard county, was completely disemboweled by a revolving hay rake last Monday and died in great agony three hours later. One of the long wooden teeth of the rake ran clear through the boy’s body. Fred McColly of this place, ana Miss Alice Wartena of Hammond, formerly of Rensselaer, were quietly married at 8 o’clock Sunday morning, at the residence of Rev. T. A. Hall, pastor of the Christian church. They will take up their residence at once in Frauk Weber's property on the corner of North Washington aud Clark streets. A sensation which shook Rensselaer social circles from center to circumference was sprung here last Saturday when a prominent society woman was openly charged by her husband with unbecoming conduct with a young unmarried man and prominent lodge worker, who was a boarder in the family. The husband left the wife and the p. 1. w. sought another boarding place. Public opinion seems to favor the idea that the husband is a “little olF’ mentally, and had no good reason to suspect his wife of any indiscretion. For the good of all parties concerned it is to be hoped that a reconciliation will be effected between the husband and wife.
