Dr. J. B. Herrick of Rush Medical college was down from Chicago Wednesday to see Uncle Ralph Fendig. who has been sick for a long time. He did not hold out much encouragement to the friends of the sick man. 1 Rev. Kindig was up at Roselawn Monday night to speak for the anti-saloon forces there. The latter are making a desperate effort to rid their township of the five saloons nowmnning there, and, who, judging from all the deviltry that we hear of from that part of the country, are running in a most wide-open manner. The 5-montns-old babe of Mr. and Mrs. George Ropp died Saturday at the home of its grand-par-ents, Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Ropp, in Rensselaer after a several weeks’ sickness from what the doctors declare was oonsumptionP The funeral was held from the house Monday at 10 a. m., conducted by Rev. G. H. Clarke of the Christian church, and interment made in Weston cemetery. Through the efforts of Bro, Robey, editor of the Benton Review, Fowler merchants have inaugurated a mid-week sale day for every Wednesday, to induce their farmer patrons to come in and thus relieve the regular Saturday rush somewhat. Special inducements are offered for this mid-week sale day, and no doubt the experiment will prove a great success. The move is worthy of emulation by merchants of other towns.

’yfff. Volney M. Peer, son of D. M? Peer of near Kniman, and Miss Elizabeth Jungles, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jungles, also of Kniman, were united in marriage at the Catholic church in Kniman at 10 o’clock- a. m. Tuesday, Rev. Father Miller, pastor of the church, officiating. There was quite a large number of, relatives and friends of the contracting parties in . attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Peer will reside at Brook where the groom is employed in the terra-cota works. The remains of Mrs. Marie Stanfield .of Chicago, accompanied by a large number of relatives, were brought here Sunday on the 10:55 a. m., train for burial. The funeral was held at 11:30 from the Baptist ' church, conducted by Rev. Kindig of the M. E. church, and interment made in Weston cemetery. Deceased was a former resident of Rensselaer and lived with her son-in-law at that time, J. 0. Carmichael. After the death of the latter’s wife she went to Chicago and lived with her daughters there, at whose home she died. She was about 82 years of age. S/The cold weather of the past two weeks reached a climax Tuesday night, when the mercury dropped several degrees below the freezing point, and some scattering flakes of snow fell during the day and that folio wing, -pit is generally believed* that the buds of peaches, plums, pears, cherries, etc., are frozen beyond possible redemption, and it is likely apples have shared thesame fate. Thursday morning a white frost covered the ground, but during the day the weather moderated considerably and it whs thought we might have a spell of spring weather again. These hopes were dissipated yesterday, which was about lb. worst yet. -d \ ■ ■

TRffv. Father William Hordeman of Frankfort, visited his father, Peter Hordeman, Sr., and other relatives here Tuesday. l_Siinon Hookstetler, engineer at the Babcock & Hopkins elevator, has recently bought the Geo. Barens residence property on Forest street, and has moved into same. The price paid was $1,300, all cash. The deal was negotiated by U. M. Baughman. Jack Stanley who occupied the property, has moved into Mrs. Randle’s property across the street in the next block west. The S. B. Moffitt dredge, being operated by Gundrum and Taylor, the contractors on the Moffitt ditch north of Fair Oaks, was burned to the water Monday evening, and totally destroyed. Loss is estimated at $4,000, and no insurance. Fire is supposed to have started from hot cinders. The dredge was owned by Moffitt, the original contractor, and only about | mile yet remained to be cut on that section of the ditch. A new dredge will have to be built to finish the work.

The Lake County Times, the republican organ of the city of Hammond, says the efforts of the Chicago ministers to induce Mayor Busse, the newly elected republican mayor of the Windy City to close the saloons on Sunday are likely to stand a poorer show than under Mayor Dunne, the retiring democratic mayor, Busse, says the Times, was elected by the saloon vote, and the platform on which be was elected contained a “personal liberty” plank; that personal liberty in Chicago comprehends the open Sunday. Michael Kenna, the notorious first ward aiderman and saloon keeper, is reported to have himself thrown 3,000 democratic votes to Busse, and the latter’s biggest gains were in the ssiloon wards.

NOT MUCH DOING BY THE CITY COUNCIL.

At the regular meeting of the common council Monday night but little business was done outside that of allowing the usual number of claims.

Useful In the Sickroom.

A novelty of recent origin Is the “liquid shaker” herewith shown. It Is a hygienic device designed to rest upon and overlap the edge of a vessel in which liquids are to be shaken. It comprises a disk composed of two layers of cork, between which is a sheet of rubber to render the shaker

LIQUID SHAKES.

waterproof and nonabsorbent. This treatment also renders the cork aseptic. Around the edges of the disk are guides, whereby the shaker is held in position on the rim of a glass. A alight pressure on the shaker causes the periphery to yield, forcing the center into the vessel. This action has the effect of expelling some of the air, creating a vacuum, which holds the cover tightly upon the rim and prevents leakage of the liquids, however hard the vessel and cover are shaken. The device is also useful In a sickroom or In any instance where a vessel containing a beverage or medicine is allowed to stand exposed to the jxissible deleterious effects of the atmosphere.

A Strengthening Jelly.

Put an ounce each of sage, ground rice, pearl barley and gelatin (previously soaked In cold water) into a saucepan with two quarts of water. Boil gently till the liquid is reduced to one-half. Strain and set aside till wanted. A few spoonfuls of this jelly may be dissolved in broth, tea or milk. It is very nourishing and easily digested.

Why a Cheetmit Pop*.

A boy wants the editor to tell him why a chestnut pops open when roasting and why the popping makes a noise. The chestnut pops open tiecause the air in it Is expanded by the heat at the fire, and the pressure becomes so great that It bursts the shell. The notee is caused by the sudden rush of air to . fill the partial vacuum produced by the explosion.—Chicago News.
