NMr. and Mrs. M. I. Adams received a letter from their daughter, Mrs. dJert Goff of Belle Fourche, So. Dak., a few days ago, stating that she had been thrown from a horse she was riding and had an ankle broken. pSquire A. H. Dickinson of Carpenter tp., was over yesterday. A nice little rain fell over there Thursday night, but here not enough to lay the dust, and it is badly needed all over the country. Mr. Dickinson said he expected to commence planting corn next week. The farmers over there are most all ready to plant but think it a little early yet. President W. R. Scudder of the Hamilton Life Insurance Co., in which several Rensselaer Y ar_ ties bought stock, was in town Wednesday with Dr. Foxworthy of Indianapolis, the latter medical director of the Commercial Life Insurance Co., of IndianapHe is reported to have stated that he had instructed the Union Trust Co., to dismiss the suit agaihst Marion I-Adams, on the latter’s note given for stock in Scudder’s company.

Marion I. Adams and family of just east of Rensselaer got a good view of what they suppose was the noted Halley’s comet Wednesday morning. Mr. Adams had gotten up at about 4 o’clock and on going out of doors noticed that it was quite light in the cast. He saw a rather oblong light, several times larger than a star hanging in the easterg sky, and called the rest of the folks out to see it. From the descriptions given of the comet all were unanimous in deciding that the strange light was the much-talked of Halley’s comet, which is occupying much of the astronomers attention these days* The naming of George P. Haywood to succeed To tn Burt, deceased, as postmaster at Lafayette by Congressman Crumpacker, has not added any to the strength of the republican party in Lafayette or Tippecanoe county. Haywood is at the head of the Lafayette Journal and the Hay-wood job printing house, and is very unpopular with a large element of his party. The Leader says of the appointment: “The appointment is one of those silent agents a famous physic arc presumed to labor while you slumber. Let the republicans do the kicking. It won’t do them any good, but it may help him unseating Mr. Grumpacker. See.” /

A Hamond paper says that A. F. Knotts, wh<2 has just returned from a business trip to Indianapolis, .says thaft he found the republican party in a terrible plight as a result of an J imbibing of too much irisurgency, and that prominent' republicans at the state capital are prophesying the state will go democratic next fall by at least 50,000. As Mr. Knott? ’? a republican and a former representative from Jasper and Lake counties as well as former mayor of Hammond, his words will carry great weight with his party in this end of the district, where he is being urged to run as an insurgent candidate for congress against the regular Stand-pat nominee, E. D. Crumpacker.
