The County News.

G : pspondents should be careful as to the matter they send in their communications. If you have any little grudge against persons, do not send it to us. We want the news and not the neighborhood gossip. We have received several letters of comphint from our readers this week, who think their names have been used unjudiciously. We try to cull the interesting matter from all oui' correspondence, but sometimes we overlook an item, which no doubt was intended as a slur upon some individual. So please do not forget this and will save you trouble as well as ourselves.

DEDICATED.

The Sew Chapel of St. Jo^erli , » College at Collegeville. For somo the Catholic dencmiuations of this vicinity have been looking to Sunday. Oct. 22nd, when the dedication of the new chapel at St. Joseph's college would occur and well may they be proud of the occasion, because it is one that will long be remembered by. those who had the pleasure of witnessing the interesting Ceremonies as conducted by Rev. Father Walters, of Lafayette. Immediately after the dedicatory service, solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Aug. Seifert, C. P. P. S., rector of the college, with Rev. Benedict Boebner, C. P. P. S., and Rev. John Mageleisen, C. P. P. S., as deacon and sub. deacon. It is useless to dwell upon the eloquence of Father Walters as a pulpit orator, for his sermon was one of the most impressive and appropriate that his hearers have ever listened to. In the afternoon, solemn vespers were chanted in the new chapel. The Columbian Literary society had previously arranged a most interesting program, it being the occasion of the first anniversary of that organization, which was as follows* Mountain Moose Galop. , St. Joseph’s College Band. Inaugural Address Pres. E. J. Mungovan. Medley, espaeially arranged by Prof. llaniinerspach.. .St. Joseph’s College Band. 1 aper. "Columina” J. F, Cogan. Come Mhere the Lillies Bloom St. Joseph's College Band. Esspy, ••Government”T. M. Conroy. The Passion Waltz. Trio for piano, cornet and violin Prof. C. liammerspaeh and lleaiy Bros. Recitation.. ... James F. Connelly. Solo, “My Old Kentucky Home”...Ed. Mtigg. Oration. "Columbia”.. .James P. Fitzpatrick. Hail Columbia... .St. Joseph’s College Band. World’s Exposition Marell, Trio for Piano. Cornet and Violin Prof. C. Hammerspach and lleaiy Bros. It was certainly a treat for the audience to listen to such an elaborate program. It was a grand success in every particular. The musical part of it was especially entertaining. The band, under the able direction of Prof. Hammerspach, is making rapid strides towards perfection. They were ably assisted by the Healy brothers, whom all know are pleasing performers upon the instruments which they so skillfully handle. Prof. Hammerspach is certainly a genius in the manipulation of the ivory keys of the piano. He has the touch and expression of a master, and all were highly entertained by his playing. To take it all in all, it was a day that wiil not soon be forgotten by those who assembled to pay tribute tp the erection of so handsome a structure as St. Joseph's college.

State Alliance Meeting.

The state meeting of the F. A. &I. U. was held at Indianapolis, last week, and a very interesting time was had by those assembled. Wilson Carey, state president, delivered his annual address, dwelling at length on the present situation, and presenting the way out of the difficulty. His reasoning was logical and fair to all. both rich and poor. The meeting had a better attendance than was expected. This being the year of the great fair, also a time that finance is hard to procure, led the members to expect a small attendance. The members report throughout the state, that the principles are still cherished and held in fond rememberance and more clearly and favorably understood by the people. Bros. Templeton. Stockwell and others offered many suggestions for the good of the order. State officers elected and installed for the ensuing: Bro. D. A. Yeoman, of Rensselaer, presidant; Sister Mary E. Welsh, Rensselaer, vice president; Sister Alice Potts, Greenfield, secretary or treasurer; Bro. Thos. S. East, Anderson. Lecturer; Executive Committee, James WClsh, Rensselaer, chairman; N. W. Webster, Cicero, secy.; L. A. Stephens, Anderson, Treasurer. * .*

All that honesty, experience and skill can do to produce a perfect pill, has been employed in making De Witt’s Little Early Risers. The result is a specific for sick headache, biliousness and constipation. A. F. Long & Co. At the state meeting of the Farmers’ Alliance at Indianapolis, last week, Jasper county got there in good style. We notice the election of D. H. Yeoman as state president and Mrs. Mary Welsh as vice-president. The oldest inhabitants are now remarking that they never saw such fine weather as we have been having. This may be Indian summer, so look out for we will have some squaw iy weather after a while.

The young folks at Monticello did not have as good a time as they expected on Halloween. They stoned a house occupied by a family named Stafford, one stone breaking a glass in a window, and hitting a child asleep in bed. and seriously injured it. The. father seized a shot gun and poking it through a hole in the window, blazed away, the result of which was, that a young lady there is having a physician to extract the shot from her carcass. There is nothing like having a good time.

Mrs. A. Oppenheimer and daughter, who have been visiting relatives here, have returned to their home in Nev/ Orleans. They stopped here on their way from Ontario, Canada, where they have been spending the summer. They were accompanied to their home by Miss Tillie Fendig who will spend the winter with them. '
