Concludes the Series. Mrs. Henrietta Fichtig concluded her series of lectures on Spiritualistic Philosophy and Phenomena before a large audience at Griesel's hall last evening. The mediumistic powers of Mrs. Fichtig were confined solely to the presentation of spirit messages, which were on the whole rather unsatisfying to the recipients thereof. Her efforts to form a society for spiritualistic study and research was unavailing and she concluded her labors in Crown Point last evening.

Death of Old Settler. John Henry Holton, son of Volney Holton, deceased, died at the home of Joseph Beattie last Thursday evening after a lingering illness of some months. Mr. Holton was born Jan. 21, 1846, and has been a resident of Crown Point the greater part of his life. He was unmarried.

Tondght-the looal high school basketball sqjiad meet the Valparaiso team In a contest at their hall over Houk's shoe store, and It gives every evidence of being an exciting game, with the Crown Point team a close favorite. The locals have a stiff schedule of games later on in the season, and their endeavor tonight will be to defeat the visitors and start out with a clean score. Tho usual after-holiday lull in trade has struck Crown Point and the merchants are complaining accordingly. Not for many seasons has there been such a scarcity of work and quite a few of the skilled laborers are out of employment, with no work in sight.

Ice Is now. six inches thick and with continued favorable weather the harvest will probably be started next week.

concerned, and now its up to the loser to pay the fiddle. Not one on the commission but who are glad the job

Writes "Burglar" Poem. Nelson Gillette of Sheridan avenue, Whiting's young poet, has written another poem, "Burglars," which deals with the scare Whiting people met with about two weeks ago, when hold-ups were happening here at the rate of three in less than a week, and the thugs finished their work by holding up Chief of Police Pat Lawler. The poem, written by young Gillette, is as follows: Whiting has had an awful scare,

Burglars turn up everywhere; If you are a wealthy man Stay inside whene'er you can. If you're caught when you are out,

Lift your lungs and raise a shout,

What is that we'll see so quick?

Patty Lawler with his stick. From latest news one's sure to judge, That Patty Lawler had a grudge Against these gents who are so bold, Who rob the people, young or old, I'm told that Pat had quite a fight One very dark and frosty night. He whipped the three they ran away, , And left with Pat his last month's pay. The grocers all are full of fear Whene'er they see a stranger near. Vater has sold 'most all his guns, And his cartridges by the tons. Arm youngsters like soldiers bold. Clothe yourselves like knights of old. Put caps of steel upon your head. And hide your cash beneath your bed. Some think we'll have to emigrate, ; And move to some far distant state. Come we'll have our lives Insured, And let some soldiers be procured. And if we live or if we die Let us smite - them hip and thigh Then perhaps they'll go away, And ne'er return another day. NELSON GILLETTE.
