Morine, the 16 months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Chisom, died at their home in Englewood yesterday morning at 7 o’clock. The remains were brought here last night for burial. The Mormon elders were here Saturdav'night and Sunday and held meetings on the streets as advertised. Quite a large number of people listened to the singing and their talks, bnt we do not think anyone was converted to the Mormon faith. Mrs. Frank Parker and 1. D. Walker were called to Trafalgar, Ind.,'Thursday by the death of their h’alf-brother, David L.Pritchard, a former resident of this county, who died of typhoid fever, He was 54 years of age and leaves a wife and four children, three of whom are married. Lafayette papers think Tom McCoy will be paroled by the parole board which is in session this week.

Through the efforts of W. B. Conkey, head of the big printing plant at Hammond, the Monon will install a 10-ride ticket between Hammond and Chicago for $2.50, good for any passager.

The latter ticket can be used both going or as a round trip ticket Mrs. Frank Dewese died at her home in Mt. Ayr Monday night of typhoid fever and other complications, aged 37 years.

Benton Review: Mrs. Duhme has placed the management of all her Benton oounty land in the bands of the Lafayette Loan and Trust Co, They are collecting the rent this and have given the tenants notice that the rent next year will be one-half in place of two fifths •as heretofore, and of course any tenant that wants to plant anything but corn and oats will as usual have to pay cash rent. The Duhme land is considered to be the poorest in the country, the polioy of the owners being to rob the land and spend the money in high living. The tenants on this land this year are averaging very small yields, and have all lost money unless a big corn crop and high prices help them out of the hole.
