S/J. F. Bruner, Jesae Nichols and B. Steward attended the I. O. O. F. grand lodge, at Indianapolis this week. /Mrs. Alfred Hoover returned Tuesday from Chicago where she has been taking treatment for tbe past two months. She is apparently considerably improved. The Goodland Plaindealer, while a little off meohanically at first, has continued to improve until now it is one of theneateat and newsiest exchanges that reach our table. In Lake county about 10,000 votes were cast at tbe late election, and of this number only 111 votes were cast for the prohibition ticket. Lake county presents a very fertile field for temperance workers. XDeloß Thompson, cashier of the Rensselaer State Bank, has just bought another new automobile, this one being a Mitchell 20-horse power runabout. Its cost was SI,OOO. He still has his $3,000 big White Steamer. The 13-year-old son of ‘ Doc” Hicks of Morocco was shot in the leg above the knee while out rabbit hunting Saturday by the accidental discharge of a gun, and the bone was so badly shattered that amputation was necessary. He was out with three other boys of about the same age when tbe accident occurred. Last Sunday, at 8 o’clock, death called an old resident, in the person of James Kendall. The deceased had lived for many years one mile east of Foresman, and was well known in this place, especially by the older residents. The funeral services were conducted at the church in Foresman. Burial was made ip the Goodland cemetery. Goodland Plaindealer. Of the 1,016 townships in Indiana 661 are without saloons. In sixteen counties there are Baloons only in one place and thirteen counties have saloons only in two places. In Tippecanoe county, for example, there is not a saloon outside of Lafayette, and yet farmers of the county are required to pay the burden of the cost of the crime and insanity caused by the saloons in Lafayette. During the last eighteen months there have been twenty-eight murders in Terre Haute and twenty-seven of them. were connected directly with saloons. Lyle Nicol, the 16-year-old son of Hugh Nicol, the atheletic director of Purdue University, was kicked in the stomach in a high school football game at Lafayette last week and died the next day in great agony. The father was preparing to go to Madison, Wis., with the Purdue football team for Saturday’s game, but the death of his son compelled him to remain at home. A dispatch from Lafayette says that the death of the boy will probably kill football in the public schools of that city. It is something out of the ordinary for us to have two feet of snow and a severe thunder shower all in the same week, yet that was precisely what occurred here last week. The snow of Monday seems to have been confined principally to northern Jasper, as very little fell in any other section of the country. Friday night quite a heavy thunder storm came, with sharp lightning and a great deal of rain, carrying off tbe last of the snow. No damage from lightning was done here, but a big barn on Robt. Anderson’s farm, west of Chalmers, is reported to have been destroyed, with most of its contents, causing a loss of some $1,500. Henry C. Dahncke, foreman for B. J. Gifford’s farms, while returning from Wbeatfield to Newland last Monday night was waylaid soon after he left the former place and badly cut aud bruised and left in an unconscious condition in the roadway where he was found the next morning nearly dead from his injuries and exposure. It is reported that the assault occurred while Dahncke was driving along the road, his team suddenly stopping and on getting out of his rig to investigate he was attacked and stabbed four times. One of the cuts is said to have nearly severed the jugular vein and he was also badly beaten. No cause for tbe assault nor the identity of the assailants is known so far as learned.
