The picture show “Where Are My Children?” presented at the Princess Tuesday afternoon and evening, was a very good picture, one of the best shown here in some time.

John Turner, an employe of the Monon Crushed Stone company, saw him fall and went to his aid. His jaw was fractured and a deep gash cut in his cheek.

The price of Irish potatoes took another jump this week and are now retailing in Rensselaer at SI.BO per bushel, with the prospect they will soon go to $2. The crop is very short all over the country on account of dry weather and the early frost, and it would not be surprising if $2.50 ,per bushel would be reached next spring. But sweet potatoes were apparently a good crop and large fine ones can be had for $1.50 per bushel. J. J. Montgomery was in Chicago on business Tuesday and Wednesday. While there he witnessed one of the largest fires in the city for some time, the burning of the Oilmette grocery establishment at Madison street and the Chicago river. Many tons of oleomargarine were stored in the -building and gave additional incentive to the flames. Also many large tanks of ammonia were stored therein and added to the danger of the fire, but it was conquered before an explosion occurred.

FRIENDSHIP OF MAN TO MAN

What is greater than the friendship that exists among men? The young Grand Rapids man had carefully explained that he must go to Kalamazoo, but declared that he would surely be back for 7 o’clock dinner as usual. He did not return as per schedule. The hours dragged by and his wife became anxious. Finally she telegraphed to six of her husband’s friends in Kalamazoo, asking them if the missing man was there. With the dawn came a farmer’s wagon, dragging in a broken down motor car and the husband. Almost at the same moment a messenger boy arrived with six telegrams, and all of them read: “Yes, Walter is passing the night with me.”
