Miss Florence Martin returned to her home in Ft. Wayne yesterday after a week’s visit with her cousin. Father Virigilius Krull, at St. Joseph’s college. Rensselaer people- will have tp pay 40 cents per hundred pounds for ice this season, 5 cents per hundred more than last year. Iceman Kellner has to ship in the artificial product from Frankfort, and 4D cents per hundred Is as cheap as he can afford to retail it, he says. *■ Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jacks and daughter Florence, aged 14, went to Chicago Wednesday, accompanied by Dr. Loy, to consult specialists in skin-grafting. The daughter was badly burned about the throat several years ago and it is hoped that an operation in skin-grafting will correct the caused. Later: She underwenU**»a successful skin-grafting operation Thursday, which will probably mean that she will once more have control of the muscles of the neck and much of the disfigurement be removed. Rensselaer dealers have been paying 18% to 19 cents per dozen for eggs this week, an unusually high price for this season of the year. However, the day of low prices for eggs has gone by, and the consumption of them is Increasing greatly among-the middle and poorer class of people in the cities, who have heretofore consumed a great amount of meat. The high price of the latter has caused an increased demand for eggs, and then people find that eggs at even 30 cents per dozen are cheaper eating than meat at the prevailing high prices, and are better, too. County Assessor Lewis received a long letter a few days ago from the children of Sam English, who moved from this county to near Stokes, Okla., three years ago. The letter was written principally by Miss Hazel English, and she stated that they had about 100 acres of corn planted and some of It was up. Potatoes were up also. They raise no cotton, but the girls have helped some of the neighbors out in picking cotton a few times, and Miss Hazel says she has made nearly SIOO at picking cotton, the usual price for which is $1.15 to $1.25 per 100 pounds. She made $2 per day for several days in succession at the work. They have a large j number of cattle and 150 or 160 head of hogs. Have out this year j some three or four acres of onions. Governor Thomas R. Marshall has accepted an invitation to be present and deliver an address at the ceremony of the laying of the corner stone of St. Joseph’s beautiful new chapel. The work has been somewhat delayed but preparations are being made to have the corner stone laying on May 1. Besides Governor Marshall, Bishop Donohue of Indianapolis, Monsignor O. Echlering, Vicar General of the Ft. Wayne diocese, and pastor of the St. Mary’s church of that place, will deliver addresses, and an Invitation has been extended to Senator Beveridge, but as yet he has sent no acceptance. Bishop Kouleda of Cleveland, Ohio, will be present. A large crowd may be expected from this and other towns, as the Fathers of the Congregation of the Precious Blood are sparing neither time nor effort to make this one of the greatest events in the building history of the college.
