He returned Tuesday, but Mrs. Bringle remained a fqwdays longer. Mrs. C. A. Gundy and son were Rensselaer visitors the latter part of last week. Charlie came through the scarlet fever all O. K. They were ordered in during his illness but

there Was no danger card put up and consequently a number went in that did not know he was sic-k. But there has not been any new cases broken out yet. The writer got the sad news a few days ago from his sister, .\'lrs. S. B. Moffitt, of Minot, X. D., that their youngest daughter had passed away on Sunday, April 23, from tuberculosis. This makes the fourth to die since they left Indiana, three boys and one daughter. They certainly have the sympathy of all who knew them.
