Elder Woodward, and Mrs. Woodward of Michigan, evangelists, have arrived and taken charge of the meeting at the Church of God. Meetings were held all of last week by Rev. Austin and the work is being continued this week and probably next week. The interest manifested is encouraging. The entertainment, “An Evening With Eugene Field,” the child poet, which was postponed, will now be given at the Presbyterian church, next Monday nigh I, Mrs. Annie Ward Foster being assisted by local talent.

It is now understood that the place will be rented to Mr. Kellner for a billiard and pool room, and that the rear room will be run as a “quart shop.” Mr. Strickfaden will open a regular saloon in one of Leopold’s rooms opposite the south-west cornor of the public square.

Hanley <Xs HuntThat is the way the sign reads on rooms 5 and G of Forsythe’s block, and of course it means that a partnership has been formed between the retiring sheriff and recorder, for the purpose of practicing law with the accompanying features of real estate, loans, insurance and abstracts. Both of these young meu have proven very efficient officials and in their new field of work will become powerful competitors with the older established firms. Gentlemen Hanley and Hunt have many warm friends and we predict succe s to issue from their business venture.

• Sigler—Makeever.
Rev. B. F. Ferguson tied the nuptial kuot that made two hearts happy last Sunday.

The ceremony was performed at the home of the groom's parent’s, and the bridal pair took the afternoon train for, Chicago, where they will visit friends for a week. Only near relatives were invited. The feast was a modestly appropriate affair. The bride cut her own cake. The table was decorated with fern leaves, and the house with carnations, roses and smitax. Their many young friends were waiting at the depot with rice and old slippers, and sent them on their way rejoicing and well advertised to the people on the train. New features are being continually added to Frank Leslie’s Popular.. Monthly. and the publishers say that the coming year will show au even more marked improvement in its character than was shown during the past year. * A Utah. Honor(From a Danville, Ilia., Paper.) Mrs. J. H.-Honan, nee Miss Mollie McMahon, formerly of this city, enjoys the distinction of being one of the few women who have been admitted to the university of Berlin. So many women who have gone there from foreign countries for the special purpose of studying have failed to gain admission to the university. The requirements of admission there are the greatest and strictest in Europe. That institution has excluded women from its walls for almost a hundred years, and now, although it is possible for a woman to gain admission, the requirements are such as to frighten a timid woman from making the attempt. Mrs. Honan’s many friends in this city congratulate her on being so successful. J. H. Honan is a brother of E. P. Honai, postmaster of Recsselaer.
Advertised Letters. The following letters are uncalled for at the Rensselaer post-office: Mrs. Dr. Redd; Mr. F. C. Smith; Mr. John Reed. Persons calling for any of the above letters in this list will please say they are advertised. E. P. Honan, Postmaster,

Norman Warner has returned from Indiana Springs at Attica, where he took his invalid wife about 10 days ago to receive the celebrated mud baths. He reports her much improved in health and intends that she shall remain for some time yet. His son Hale left for the springs thi- morning with his wife, who is also a great sufferer from rheumatism, and she will remain with the elder Mrs. Warner and receive treatment. Hale will return Sunday. It was 38 years ago yesterday that Norman Warner bought the blacksmith shop of Tom Dunlap and opened business in Rensselaer, on the bank of the mill race near where Mac Key’s marble shop now stands. The next September he moved across the street into a shop which he built where Bates’ new shop now stands. He has been in continuous business ever since, though it is some years since he left the anvil and devoted his time to the hardware and implement business. His health seems good, and if his wife was well he says he would be reasonably happy and contented, though he has not become rich in all these years of labor. A Fatal Accident. Mrs. Rebecca Wood, widow of the late Samuel Wood, of Barkley township, lost her life by falling from a buggy while crossing the railroad track at the depot just after noon on Tuesday. It appears that the buggy decame uncoupled, allowing the front of the box to fall to the ground, pitching Mrs. Wood out upon her head, and probably dislocating the bones of the neck. She was carried into the depot, but was unconscious and survived but a few minutes, being dead before the physician, Dr. English, could reach her. Justice W. K. Churchill conducted a short inquest and the body was taken to the home of her daughter, 'Mrs. Norman, but a few blocks distant. Mrs. Wood was 61 years old. She leaves 9 grown children. The funeral will take Slaoe on Friday at 11 A. M.. at brushwood church, Union township, Rev. J. L. Brady officiating. it i i tv’W-p yv yv t 5 REAL ESTATE. 3 B unk Foltz to Charles H Mullaney.
