He has recently purohased bis partner, Mr, Farmer’s, interest in said oontraot and is now the whole thing himself. Mr. Farmer goes to work on a contract of his own near Chalmers. Mrs. Edward Hollin fell on the ioe Thursday morning and broke both bones of her right arm above the wrist. Since Tuesday the streets and sidewalks have been a glare of ioe, the worst seen here in a quarter of a century, and it ia surprising that more serious accidents from falb have not resulted. On the evening of Jan. 29, at her mother’s residence in Marion, Ind., Miss Mary Michael was married to Alva Miner of Findlay, 111. They will reside in San Luis Valley, Colo. Mr. Miner is a teacher and has been teaching at his home in Findlay. The friends and relatives of the bride here extend congratulations. From present appearances the sporting editors will be kept busy reporting republican meetings, and these reports will occupy a prominent plaoe on the sporting page. A great mill was pulled off at the Florida State convention Thursday, the fighting being general and fieroe. Two sets of delegates were chosen to the national convention at Chicago. ' s Olr. Grant Rishling of Rensselaer, and Miss Frances Baroe, daughter of Mr. end Mrs, Lyman Barce north of town, were united in marriage Wednesday evening at 6:45 o’clock at the residence of the officiating olergyman, Rev.

T'Febrnary came in like a “roarlag lion,” and Saturday was about the worst day of the winter thus far. Saturday night the mercury got down to the lowest point so far, and Sunday morning registered 5 below zero, Some ioe was put up Monday and Tuesday by private parties from the river of 6 to 7 inches in thickness, but Tuesday night a rain and sleet nearly spoiled the ice and the rain fell more or less all day, coating streets and sidewalks with ioe and rendering it extremdly difficult for pedestrians to get about. Ja VINDICATION, THEY CALL IT! |SA Q d now the republican papers 4f this district are gleefully shouting that their late district chairman, Henry W. Marshall of Lafayette, has been fully vindicated, exonerated, etc., of any connection with the asphalt street paving steals in Indianapolis, the Kentland Enterprise even going so far as to say that he bad “had a hearing and was fully exonerated from any participation in the alleged frauds.” Nothing could be further from the faots. He has had no trial or hearing whatever. A late ruling of the supreme court regarding the wording of an indictment made it apparent that the indictments against Marshall, as drawn, would not stand, and the prosecuting attorney dismiased the pending indictments and stated that new bills would be returned JvTbia has not as yet been done, perffape will not be, but the aboves are the true facts in the matter as reported by the Indianapolis republican papers. TheDemoorat doesn’t pretend to say that Mr. Marshall ia guilty, that ia for the jury to decide if he is tried, bnt it mast have been evident that the grand jury and prosecutor thought he waa else the indictments would not have been returned.
