ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Simon Fendig, the popular little Wheatfield druggist, was in the city Wednesday. Elder L. E. Conner will preach at the church of God next Sunday morning and evening. John Ulm’s wife, who has been lingering so long with typhoid fever, died at her home in Jordan township last Sunday. “Jack” Warner has moved his wagon shop into the rear of Glazebrook’s blacksmith shop, where he will be pleased to serve all his old customers. The W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. Jennie L. Wishard, Saturday, Nov. 3rd, at 3p. m. promptly. Notice the change in the place of meeting. All members are earnestly requested to be present. Henry Brockaway, of DeMotte, having become violently insane, has had to be placed in the county jail to await admission to the asylum at Logansport. Mr. Brockaway and his family have the sympathy of all in their great misfortune. Those free excursions “Mac” has been running are not so free after all, as he is now soliciting contributions from Democrats and Populists to help him out. This is surely a mistake in our old friend. It does not show him up as we have been pleased to represent him. Miss Eliza Tuteur was returning home from a party at T. J. McCoy’s, Wednesday night, she was tripped by a wire the hallowe’en miscreants had stretched across the walk, and her left arm was broken above the elbow. Drs. Washburn and Hartsell were called. We call the attention of our readers to Mr. W. I. McCollough’s letter in this issue. Benton county candidates are surely looking far ahead and are trying to work up some very fine schemes. It should be remembered. that it was Benton’s county treasurer that got that opinion from Judge Wiley declaring the Fee and Salary law unconstitutional. Wednesday night being Hallowe’en, the spirits were out playing havoc with everything movable and immovable. It is well that the 31st day of October comes at least once a year, to give the smart boys about town an opportunity to show off just a little. Fun is fun as long as it is funny, but when it ccmes to destroying property, and obstructing sidewalks with wires to trip the unwary and break their limbs, the funny part all vanishes. It is the duty of the town board to see that the work of Wednesday night is not repeated again in this town. These tricks of the “tads” are really chargeable to the “dads.” Fresh bread every day at ; Lakey & Sayler’s.
