Kellogg, the Brookston man who swindled Prof. Michael of Lafayette and some two score Rensselaer people out of several hundred dollars on his Canadian land scheme last spring. Some of the indictments charge grand larceny and some with obtaining money- under false pretenses. .HU. .. I, —■ ■ ■■ ■,■■ Elizur Sage, the Rensselaer 'nephew of the late Russell Sage, received bis share of the dead millionaire’s' estate, $50,000, Saturday. Mr. Sage is undecided what be will do at present, but the report that he intended to go to Dakota, he says, is incorrect. He may buy a farm in Jasper county and move onto it.

TWO-CENT HARES COfIING. The Pennsylvania road has announced a 2-cent rate on all its lines, taking effect November Ist, and in addition to the reduction in fare they will make their 1000mile books transferable —a convenience that will be greatly appreciated by the public. An extra charge of 15 cents will be made when fare is paid on trains, where the price of tickets is $1 or more. This is likely only the forerunner of a general movement by the railroads toward lower fares, brought about partly by legislation and partly by interurban competition. Everything for men and boys to wear. Rowles & Parker.

COUNCILMAN BROWN AGAIN. Dr. H. L. Brown Selected as Successor to Hdnry Hildebrand. At the regular meeting of the city council Monday night Dr. H. L.
