Ike Leopold of Wolcott, was in the oity yesterday Charles Hancock of near Goodland. was in the city yesterday on business. Bro. Schanlaub of the Morocco Courier was in the city yesterday looking for a printer. See the dainty new wash dress goods at reduced prices. Chicago Bargain Store. W. O. Schanlaub was over from Morocco Thursday and yesterday. He will go to Valparaiso Monday to attend normal. • The joint commencement of Marion, Carpenter, Jordan and Newton townships was held in the opera house here Thursday afternoon. The oats prospect in this county is not flattering, and farmers are practically a unit in saying that there will not be more than half a crop. The Brook special election last Saturday to vote on the proposition of issuing $12,000 in bonds to build a new school house, resulted in a vote of 112 for to 9 against. ' E. V. Hansford is circulating a petition to macadamize Division street from Washington street south to the gravel road. There is no street in the city that needs improving worse than this, taking into consideration the travel that goes over it, and we hope the project will go through. Judging from Saturday’s Monti-. cello Journal, in which appeared an account of a shooting scrape in a “wineroom’’ in the rear of one of the saloons of that place, and a farmer being beat oat of all semblance of humanity in another saloon, there is work for the antisaloon people in White county’s capital. Ross Sigler, son of Mr. and Mrs. -Torn Sigler, formerly of Rensselaer, but now of Tusla, Indian Territory, was married at Oklahoma City last Saturday. The ceremony took place at the residence of J. F. Warren. The bride is a resident of Indian Territory and is said to be quite wealthy.—Journal. According to the figures published in the Remington paper last week the total assessed valuation of real estate in Carpenter tp.,. is $11,118,080; and Remington, real estate $2,451,002. As. the total valuation of the entire coun--ty, both real and persnoal, is only' about $9,000,000, we are at a loss to know how Carpenter and'Remington’s assessment alone can be $14,000,000. Albert Gray of Manson, lowa, is here for a few days visit with relatives. He will return to lowa next week and will take with him his two little boys who have been living here with his brother Sylvester. Mr. Gray says that oats are looking well in his locality, but corn is looking rather bad. On his way here be saw some fields of corn where the frost last week had froze it to the ground. Charles Porter, formerly of this place, was a sufferer from the St. Louis flood. He lives across the river from the new World’s Fair city, at Venice, 111., and the water in his house was eight feet deep. With about 25 other families he took refuge in the second story of. a school building where they 'remained three days before being rescued. Writing to his brother Isaac, he says it will probably be several weeks before he can occupy bis home agaid, owing to the water standing in it so long And the damage done thereby. The Osteopaths are great on intermarrying, it seems, and it is seldom a graduate of the Osteopath schools marries anyone but an osteopath. Of the entire family . of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Robinson of this city, one boy and fonr girls, all {osteopaths, all but one have married osteopaths. The exception ie Dr. Lois Ida Robinson, who was married a few days ago to Dr. C. C. Hinshaw, a physician of the regular school at Ridgefarm, 111., where Miss Robinson has been practicing sinoe her graduation. It will not be at all strange, however, if the groom is soon 00 averted to his wife’s belief end takes up the study of osteopathy. Binder Twine headquarters, prices. Chicago fJvoRK.
