Newton county is excited over another new railroad which it is alleged is headed that way. It is called the Indiana, Illinois and Minnesota,‘and is being surveyed through Momence to Lafayette, striking Morocco, Brook and Goodland. Cards are out for the marriage of Ms. Lonis Gilbranson and Mrs. Dora W. Timmons, a couple of the northeast part of the county, to take place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schrader of Tefft, to-morrow, June 18, at 2 o’clock p. m. A charter has been granted for the first National Bank of Goodland. The organizers are Morton Kilgore, present postmaster of Goodland, Paul Weishaar, Dr. B. W. Pratt, W. J. Stewart, Harry F. Little and John L. Cook. The capital is $25,000. An old man, evidently a tramp, who by his peculiar actions has been scaring women and children nearAix for the past week, was finally landed in the poor house Thursday. He is evidently demented, and claims to be Charles J. Kiser, 111 years old (really about 75), and is of German nationality. He doesn’t appear to know, or will not tell, where he hails frorm * W. F. Michaels of Jordan tp., S. A. Brusnahan of of Parr and State Chief Ranger E. P. Honan and G. A.

Mr. Mihoaels also expected to visit his sister in Cass County, Mich., before returning. Bernard Mininger, aged 19, of Lowell, was found lying beside the railroad track about a mile south of Lowell Saturday morning, dead. He had gone to Hammond the night before to visit friends and started home on one of the night trains.
