Bend were here Saturday on business connected with the appeal of C. L. Bder, the convicted Winamac bridge grafter, to the supreme court. h fact that the Rensselaer Republican and Winamac Republican are defending the convicted bridge grafter, Bader, may look all right over in that neck of the woods, but to the outsider it does smell strong, real strong, just like a polecat was let loose in the woods and given a good strong kick.—Brook Reporter (Rep-). Trustee Shirer was down from Kankakee tp., Monday to the county board of education meeting. He said a- very heavy rain, accompanied by considerable hail and lightning fell at his place early Monday morning. Here only a nice April shower came, starting the oats up nicely and giving the grass and early garden truck an additional boost.

City Attorney John Westfall of Whiting was in town a short time Saturday while on his way to Remington to visit his aged mother. John used to “stick type” for us when we were running the Remington Press some fifteen years ago. He was then a tall, angular kid with a nose that reached out in front of his face like the prow of a schooner. When he dropped in on us Saturday, a fine looking, well groomed gentleman of about 180 pounds avordupois, wearing a French gotee nicely trimmed in the best style of the barber’s art, we scarcely recognized the boy who for nearly three years set type and “kicked” the job press for us at Remington a decade and a half ago. John seems to be prospering in the Calumet region, and we are mighty glad of it, for he is certainly a self-made man, and he has no more sincere, wisher of sucess than The Democrat editor. J
