Compliments Work of Remington Rebekah's.

KentJand Enterprise: The Remington Rebekah Degree team, together with twenty-five or thirty members of the chapter there, came to Kentiand Monday evening to perform the initiatory before the recently organized Rebekah Lodge here. The Remington team is the be~t in northwestern Indiana, and never fail to attract many members of the order from neighboring towns. The Kentland Lodge was therefore host to a large number from Brook and Goodland and some from Monticello. . The Rebekah degree work is said to be very Impressive, and many compliments were paid the Remington team sot their perfection in cartying it out. Following the initiatory work a luncheon, composed of sandwiches, f coffee, cake and ice cream, was served, fl. F. Butler of Goodland, district deputy for the I. O. O. F.i ahd J. P. Ryan of Monticello, made short talks to the new lodge rendering some good advice and many wel/i withes. The Rebekahs start out with over half a hundred members.

Attempted Suicide at Monticello. According to Monticello papers, it developed that Dr. Sangster of that place, whom it was thought had suffered h utroke of apoplexy last week, had undertook to “shuffle off" and took a dose of choral. It was on,* overdose and his spirit refused bo take flight. He was considered one of the solid men of Monticello, but it is now discovered that he was in <jhre financial straits and his creditors are many. He and his wife took a Monon. train north Monday and the creditors held a meeting to discuss what to do about their claims.

Before leaving Dr. Sangster made an assignment of all his property for the benefit of his creditors, in-

eluding his fine Stable horset? valued at $4,000. his residence and book accounts valued at $3,000, and all his household goods. It ]s supposed that he has gone back to his old home in Canada, leaving Montieello for good. Hi s liabilities are said to be only $5,000. but some of his overdue note in bank the sureties had denied signing, and the doctor admitted that he had forged their names .to the [taper. The assignment is made to B. A. Vogel, trustee. ’ Dr. Sangster was one of the democratic- city coiincilmen in Monticello and had stood very highly until now. The condition of his financial affairs and the. exposure that was threatened, is supi>osed to have been the cause for his attempted suicide.
