County Surveyor Price has received letters from Webb City, Mo., stating that his brother Charles H. Price is gradually failing and can live but a short time. Charley has never recovered from his late serious sickness of typhoid pneumonia, and it has now developed into consumption.

Jasper Kenton returned Wednesday from a two weeks prospecting trip through Oklahoma and Kansas. He visited former Jasper county people at Oklahoma City, Chickasba, Olvestee, Chandler and Wellston, also visited J. Y. Parkison at Bucklen, Kan., and spent a half day in Wichita. Except for the climate he saw no section of the country that he liked as well as that about Mitchell, So. Dak., which he visited on a former trip. J. W. King received intelligence a few days ago that his sister, Mrs. John Nyce, formerly of this county, but now of near Hastings Neb., was quite severely injured in a runaway accident. The team which she and her husband were driving became frightened at some school children, ran away and threw Mrs. Nyce out and broke two of her ribs and otherwise bruised her up badly. She was getting along as well as could be expected at last reports. Rev. H. M. Middleton writes us from East Chioago and says that the item published in a Chicago paper some days ago regarding his son Fred being missing from his home in Hammond and copied by The Democrat, was without foundation; that Fred has received a promotion in the Hammond packing plant and is now their yardmaster, on the night torn. He says Fred stands high with his 'employers and has not lost a day’s time in several months. The Democrat is pleased to learn that the story is unfounded, as Rev. and Mrs, Middleton are very estimable people and have a host of friends in Rensselaer and Remington who would be sorry to have anything more added to their trouble.
