Mr. Light returned to Brook Wednesday evening. beacon McCabe, of the stock buying firm of J. J. McCabe & Son, of Brook, stopped over on his way home form Chicago where he had been marketing some cattle, Friday. His cattle were on Thursday’s market, which was not a good one by any means. i V. O.

Hemphill has let the contract to M. V. Brown for the erection of a fine large cement block house on the site .of the old dwelling lately torn d6wn on Front street. It is to cost about $4,000 to $4,500 complete and will be modern in every way. Mrs. Hemphill and Mr. and’ Mrs. Honan will occupy it when completed. Live stock shippers/ have been having a rocky road so travel the last couple of weeks, and some of them have been losing as much as SI.OO per hundred on cattle marketed ak Chicago. The market has been so erratic that it is impossible to forecast it even a day ahead. Several loads from this point have lost the shippers considerable money. ’ / Judson E. Maines did not attend the congressional convention at Monticello Wednesday. He was a delegate and fully Intended to go, but his brother, who lives on the farm north of town, got into an argument with some bumblebees, and they put some unanswerable propositions up to him. So unanswerable were they that George could not work Wednesday. M At the home of Mr. Judson H. Pel-kins Wednesday, occurred the marriage of his brother Reuben E. Perkins of Mishaw-dka, Ind., and Mrs. Cecelia Perkins of Morris, 111. Mr. and Mrs. Perkins will make their home in Mishawaka where the groom is a well known retired farmer.

Dougherty of Montic silo, a brother of John and George Daugherty of this city, is in a very serious condition, and is not expected to recoyer. He is afflicted with something resembling dropsy, which has lately affected the heart to such an extent that he almost smothers at time. W. H. Ritchey called to see him while at the congressional convention Wednesday, and found him scarcely able to talk, and gasping for breath. S. H. Hopkins of Barkley tp., returned Monday evening from a few days visit in Carroll and Clinton counties. He states that he was greatly surprised at the appearance of the corn there. Most fields are extremely poor, lots of it being but a few inches in height. The wet spring, followed by a drought baked the ground when it did become dry and the corn did not grow as it should. Wheat is extra good there and oats are turning out fairly well although the straw is short. C. D. Hanger, a traveling salesman living at Morocco, was a delegate from Newton county to Monticello? where the next congressman for the 10th congressional district was nominated Wednesday. Mr. Hanger stopped off "at Rensselaer on his way back. He says that Thomas R. Marshall doesn’t look very formidable, but when he gets unlimbered, Oh Lordy! how he makes the fur fly. Jim Watson will know that he has been to a horse race when the November election is over. The ball game here Tuesday between the Remington and Rensselaer K. of P. amatuers drew a good crowd, but Remington easily won out by a score of 27 to 9/ Dennis O’Reilly of the visiting team, used to be a crack player, and he showed that he had not forgotten everything about the game even now. Gus Merritt, who did th? pitching for the Remingtonians was also good. Some 41 members of the Hebron lodge came over In seven big automobiles and witnessed a part of the game. They staid and assisted the local lodge In degree work at night. A ; ver/ pleasant time was had. Refreshments were served after the degree work was over.
