K B. Wilson and family have departed for their future home at E. C. English and wife, of Chicago, are the guests of Harry Brown and wife this week. L. W. Henkle and son L. W. Jr., have returned from California. Harvey remained in that state. If you know anything you wish others to know, tell us. We can tell more people in a week than y»u could in a year. Rev. Abraham Moorhatch, a native Persian and a graduate of die McCormack Theological Seminary, of Chicago, will preach at the Presbyterian church next Sunday, morning and evening. He will also .lecture at the same place Monday evening. The admission will be free, but a collection will be taken. Everybody invited. A bad small boy at Goshen crawled under the bed when his mother wanted to punish him. She couldn’t get him out, and she left him there until his father returned that evening from the city. When the father came and was told about the case, he started to crawl under the bed to bring forth his disobedient son, but was almost paralyzed when the little fellow asked: “Hello, pap; is she after you, too?*’

An exchange which has been investigating the matter, says: ■•The latest postal laws are such that newspapers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid, and then orders it discontinued, or orders the post master to mark it “refused,” and have a postal card notifying the publisher, leaves himself liable to arrest and tine, the same as for theft.” The Chicago Record tells how one can spend a day at the World’s Fair after he arrives in the city, for 90 cents. This is in vast contrast to the statement of an Indiana paper in which it was editorially announced that SB6 per dtiy would be required. Here is the Record’s figures: Car fare, 20c; admission, 50c; lunch, 20c, total 90c. The car fare can be reduced to 10 cents for the round trip by taking the elevated road or cable, which would reduce the amount to 80 cents. The Record also makes an estimate for those who have money to throw away, and places the amount at sl4. You can pay your money and take your choice. There is much of unusual and enticing interest in the studios of the Columbian Celebration Company, in Chicago, say those who have been allowed to inspect the interior of this building. In this building is being prepared all the novel scenery to be used in the production which will be given in “The Chicago Spectatorium.” The building itself occupies over 400,000 square feet of ground and inside its walls can be* seen nearly complete reproductions of the three caravels that left Palos in August, 1492, for the New World. Also a miniature forest which was imported from Jamaica, W. L; a faithful copy of the monastery of La Rabida and many other sights of as great interest. Work on the scenery is progressing very rapidly and this department will be ready .even before the building, itself, is completed. Considerable excitement was caused Sunday afternoon by a runaway. A team of horses hitched to a top buggy took fright when on the bridge crossing the river and ran down Washington street at the top of their speed. When near the Makeever House the team turned to take the street running north and the buggy struck a tree, tearing it to pieces and throwing out the occupants, consisting of Mrs. Emerald Aldrich and two other young ladies. No one but Mrs. Aldrich was hurt. She was picked up unconscious and carried into the Makeever House and placed under the care of physicians, who pronounced her injuries not fatal. Her head was badly cut and bruised, and she will fepl the effects of the injuries for some days. The cause of the horses taking fright was by a runaway team approaching them from the rear. The ladies began screaming with the above result.

Town Cowi. Good pastures adjoining town can be secured for the summer. Only a limited number will be token. EL L. Brown, If Pestiat.

CORRESPONDENCE.

GOODLAND. Eggs 12|c. Corn 35@36c. Oats 27@30c. Butter 18@20c. Fred Gilman was in Chicago Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Ot Clark, of Rensselaer, were the guests of Dr. Lovett and wife Sunday. Ben Hines is now master of the mush stick and dish cloth because Mrs. H. and Dolly are visiting at Attica for a week past. Ben says he can ride a freight car lots better than he can make his own mush.

Mr. W. A. Harrington, who has been dangerously ill, w T as in town two or three days last week shaking hands with his many friends. The town board could confer a great favor on at least a few people in the south part of town by putting in another lamp or two. Will they do it? We would like to call the attention of the town board and also the school board to the fact that they have no right to contract for any job of work, bid off any contract for another or be connected, directly or indirectly, in any work for pay or reward. We refer to the letting of the contract for the janitor work at the school house for the next year. It is far better the town board and school board both go a little slow in this matter. Miss Haskell, of Fowler, visited the Misses Harper over Sunday. Mr. Jas. Cones, a former resident of this place, but now of Indianapolis, was the guest of his brother-in-law, Wm. Banes, Saturday and Sunday.

Some twelve or fifteen of our bicycle sports made a flying trip to Remington, Fowler and back to Goodland. We are unable to say just what time they made it in but we know that Tom Hartley and his new SIBO wheel came out ahead. Attorney Ira Yeoman and boys, of Remington, drove over to Goodlaud Sunday and shook the hands of many old friends. We are sorry to announce that Mr. A. Williams, whom we mentioned some time ago as having accidentally shot himself, has gone to Indianapolis for an operation. Drs. Lovett and Collnar made a thorough examination last Sunday and decided that to be the only alternative.

The 5:45 a. m. train over the C. & I. C., and making close connection with the vestibule at Momence for Chicago has been taken off. For meanness the C. & I. C. and C. & E. I. are equal to any road in the state. Now it only behooves the people of this section to make it a point to take some other road to Chicago. The Pan Handle and Monon afford good accommodations and their trains arrive at Chicago two or three hours earlier. Let us all go over the Pan Handle and Monon. Mr. George Sapp had a shoulder badly fractured while in the bicycle race last Sunday from Goodland to Fowler via Remington.

The residence of V. B. Jenks has received a new coat of paint. Some of Goodland’s best business men are talking of forming a joint stock company and building a line ground floor opera house. There seems to be but little trouble for church going people to patronize a musical entertainment in this place if the proceeds are all to be dumped into the church treasury, but if it is to pay for an organ or piano or some other charitable . institution, the church members as a mass stay away. Davis, the fad failure, has gone to Marion, Ind., and has engaged in the real estate business. The last heavy rains stopped our farmers frora planting corn until the fore part of this week. The pension .examining board at Fowler, has been reorganized, and Dr. W. H. Gray, of Wadena, has been appointed as the Republican member. Jack the Ripper.

IROQUIS.

Oats are looking a little better than they were last week. Corn is being planted, but some are not done plowing.

The Sage ditch was as high as ever last month. Grass is growing and most people havo turned their stock upon it. Mrs. Mary Thumb, of Dakota, was the guest of John Putt and family the latter part of last month. John Putt has his yard plowed and seeded and a new net fence around it. Cow Boy.

SORGHUM VALLEY.

Health is generally good with a few exceptions. Mrs. Tharp is reported on the sick list. Messrs. Sherman Thornton and Frank Rowen spent Saturday and Sunday at home. Mr. and Mrs. Felix French visited relatives in the valley Sunday. Mrs. Clint Hopkins, of Rensselaer, spent last week with her sons, Reet and Cale, of this place. Miss Leota Alter visited our school last week. School Boy.

WALKER AND KNIMAN.

The farmers have commenced planting corn. Mrs. Spry, of Lake Village, was visiting at W. P. W oodard's this week. Mrs. Jacob Breyfogle is on the sick list. John Brady, of Momence, 111., was in our town on business Wednesday. Lemuel Stockwell has returned home from Chicago, where he has been visiting the past winter. Cora Draste, of Rose Lawn, was visiting her sister Ella this week. F. M. Goff has commenced work on his new residence and when completed will be the finest in our town. Several of our young people attended the dance at Wm* Grube’s, at Stoutsberg, Saturday evening and reported a good time. W. P. Woodard made a flying trip to Kentland on Tuesday last.

Wm. Hoile and family were the guests of J. W. McGlinn’s on Sunday. Herman Flugel and Silas Mooney started for the wild west Monday. They got as far as Fair Oaks, when they returned home. They think Walker is the best place yet. J. W. McGlinn, our popular candidate for post master, dined with Congressman Hammond on Saturday last. He says there is no doubt but that he will get the office now as Hammond has the record of his entire life. W. D. Hudkins, of Kewanna, Ind., was visiting here this week. Our Sabbath school is in a flourishing condition. Our creamery started Monday and several of our citizens are seen wending their way in that direction for fresh butter-milk.

It is a common thing to see a dozen men and boys playing marble on our streets at any time. We think they could engage in something more useful. Our business man says it’s impossible for him to get goods from Chicago on account of the World’s Fair. More Yet.

AIX.

The late rains have delayed the farmers in plowing. From the cold breezes we are having we judge that winter is hardly over yet. There were services at the Brushwood Chapel Sunday evening. Mr. Castsr, Jr., of Blackford, is quite a musician. Letters now days are quite romantic when sealed with a kiss. There were thirteen persons baptised at Brushwood last Sunday. Mrs. Geo. Henkle was thrown from her buggy Saturday while going to her father’s, Mr. Braskett’s. We did not learn whether she received any injuries or not. We wonder what has become of “Butterfly” and “Silkworm.” Rumor says there is to be a wedding in this vicinity shortly. We sincerely hope it be

like the one that didn't happen. Ciodia Price was the guest of Miss Grace Burns Sunday. The Nichols family have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. Logan Woods is having his house and store room remodeled. Misses Laura Williams and Lillie Garriott attended the commencement at the Barkley church Saturday evening. The Young People’s Christian Endeavor Union meets every Tuesday evening at the Brushwood church. Bonnibell.

BLACKFORD.

Our little town is on a boom. Mr. Casey was here Friday selling dry goods. Meeting at Brushwood Chapel was largely attended last Sunday night—mostly by boys. The Christion Endeavor society is still held at Burns’ school house every Thursday night. Meeting at 11 a. m., Sunday School 3p. m. All invited. Solomon McCurtain is not much better at this writing. Some of the people of this vicinity have their corn planted. We believe it is better off in the crib while it is so cold. Monkey Wrench.

WHEATFIELD.

Some of our farmers were wearing a smile on their faces last week to think warm weather had come, but now if you can see a man smile over the weather he is out of his head. Wm. Miller was called to Chicago Monday by a telegram announcing that his mother was dying. She died the same day and will be brought to Wheatfield the 17th. Interment in Wheatfield cemetery. Several of the Wheatfield boys got the bounce on the I. I. I. road last week. We understand they got a little too “gay.” Mrs. Nathan Keen’s sister from Lafayette, is visiting her this week.

The saw mill is moving from here to Shelby where a large lot of timber is ready to be sawed. A large dance was given at the residence of Mr. Grubes, three miles west of here, last Saturday evening. Sabbath school every Sunday at the Christian church at 10 o’clock, and at three o’clock at the school building. Since last week we have learned it was Mrs. Keen’s brother that was dead, instead of Mr. Keen’s nephew. Our operators, F. H. Scott,. Charles Adamson and John Tilton, took a scout to the World’s Fair last week. Our livery man’s boy was kicked by a horse last Friday and had his skull mashed in behind the right ear. Dr. Turner and Aganoe , from San Pierre, dressed the wound. They think he will pull through all right if inflammation doesn’t set in. North Star.
