Charles Hansen, the blacksmith, has purchased James Thompson’s wagon shop and will run it in connection with his blacksmith shop. Mr. Thompson is intending to move to Oklahoma, it is reported. Cards have beep received announcing the marriage of Prof. Eugene W. Bohannon, a former superintendent of the Rensselaer public schools, to Miss Mary Carney, which will take place at Mankato, Minn., April 18th. A new school rule is to have all who don’t know the answer to a question raise their hands instead of those who do. It rests those who have come prepared to recite and it gives the unprepared something to do.—ldaville Observer. Charlie Thomas, better known as •‘Butch” Thomas, was married at Fargo, N.

A number of Kentland citizens were in Chicago last week for the purpose of interesting capitalists in the construction of a new railroad from Hammond to the mineral springs near Attica, or the coal fields south of there, the projected road to cross the Pennsylvania line at Kentland. Fred N. Vance, of Crawfordsville, who is under twenty years of age and a student at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, has been notified that one of hjs pictures exhibited at Paris in the Academy Julian, has been given the hignegt award of any picture exhibited by an American artist. Judge Beeman, of Starke county, has ruled in favor of the construction of the Kankakee river ditch. It is estimated that 200,000 acres of land will be reclaimed at a cost of $200,000. The ditch will be fifteen miles long, forty to sixty feet wide, and twelve feet deep. John R. Ward, of Monticello, well known in Rensselaer, has been appointed adjutant general of the national guard by General Durbin. The office pays $1,500 per year. Ward was second lieutenant of Company I, 161st Indiana, Col. Durbin’s regiment in the Spanish-American war. He is 29 years old. A band of gypsies, who made themselves a nuisance here last week, were egged by a number of boys, who were encouraged by some of the business men, it is said. There is surely other and lawful means of ridding the community of such characters, if their presence is not desired. Lawlessness is never justifiable. C.T. Stewart has been negotiating with John Makeever, of Rensselaer, for the lease of the Makeever hotel, “Cooney” demonstrated his ability as a landlord during his short management of the Union House and his many friends would be glad to see him at the head of a large hotel.— Brookston Gazette* The town council of Remington has granted a franchise to the Hklleck Telephone Company for an exchange there. It is stated that considerable encouragement has been given the project there, and that the exchange will be installed there before many weeks. It is also stated that their system will be enlarged here in the near future. John L. Turner, of Carpenter township, left for Rocky Ford, Col., last Friday. He left here in the morning and upon his arrival in Chicago, he was robbed of his pocket book, containing S3O in cash and SI,OOO in notes by pickpockets. He returned to Rensselaer on the next train and notified the banks of his loss and stopped the payment of the notes, after which he again departed for the west. Mr. Turner is wealthy so that his loss will not especially inconvenience him. According to a Lafayette paper, A. Lewis, the cigar manufacturer, is contemplating moving his factory to Lafayette. He is endeavoring to form a stock company with a capital of $12,000, one-third of which amount Mr. Lewis will take. If successful in floating the stock the factory will be removed to Lafayette. Mr. Lewis has beenlocated here for some years and hasregularly employed a number of bands, and his removal would be a loss to the town. The cause for such removal could largely have been prevented by the merchants pushing the sale of his goods.

Buncoed The Teachers.

A couple of slick young men have been working among the country school teachers of southern Indiana and have doubtless succeeded in doing a good business. They passed themselves as representatives of the “Teachers’ Library Association” of Chicago, stating that their object was to place within the reach of the teachers of Indiana, literature that would best aid in school and literary work. They agreed to furnish what they called a circulating library of fifty books. This was to be within reach of the subscribers for one year, when it would be exchanged for fifty other good works. The life of the contract was four years No money was asked down, but each subscriber was required to give an individual note for $8 50, and pay a small yearly fee. As they represented that the scheme had the sanction of State Superintendent Jones, they had but little trouble in getting a large number of notes. The notes are now turning up in banks for collection, and inquiry developes the whole scheme a fraud.

Sampson Erwin was born in the state of Virginia, Sept. 8, 1827, died April 2, 1901, aged 73 years, 6 months, 24 days. When a small child he came with his parents to the Wabash settlement, in Tippecanoe county, this state. He spent his life in Indiana, with the exception of about four years in Kansas at the beginning of the Civil Waraud five years in Tennessee. A year ago last November he came from Tennessee to Wheatfield, Ind., where he died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. W. Shaffner. He was married Jan. 22, 1850, to Rhoda Welsh, who died Aug. 12, 1900. They were married a few months over fifty years. Triey leave six children, three sons and three daughters, as follows. J. E.

Dluzak Wins.

In the case of Jacob Dluzak against James A. Blay on trial at Delphi, the jury returned a verdict awarding Dluzak SBOO damages The suit for damages grew out of the beating which May gave Dluzak and his subsequent prosecution on the charge of stealing corn

Local physicians, say the White Pigeon Journal, were called in counsel this week in a peculiar case. A little girl had drank a pint of kerosene oil. The doctor thought she would die until one of them hit upon a happy antidote. They slipped a yard of candlewinking down into the oil, lit the upper end and during the evening the little girl lay upon the sofa performing a useful service for the household and had fully recovered by bedtime. Fact! Ask any of the doctors. General Funston, who captured Aguinaldo, is a nephew of the late William Funston, who lived two and a half miles north of Logansport in Noble townsh.p and who died only a few months ago. He is also a relative of Captain Frank Swigart and T. P. Swigart, of Logansport, and Jesse Swigart and Clay Swigart, of Clay township, Cass county. The general’s mother was, before her marriage with his father, Edward Funston, a Miss Lydia Mitchell, ofNew Carlisle, Ohio, and is a full cousin of the father of the brothers Swigart above mentioned. The Funstons left Ohio about twentyfive years ago and located in lola, Kansas, which is still the General’s home. Sol Bloom, the Chicago music dealer, claims to be the originator of the Order of Buffaloes, which is spreading over the country. He says it was formed in San Francisco by five theatrical men, who called themselves Buffaloes, but had no more definite organization. The five began taking in others, and gradually the mock ritualistic ceremony formed itself. He says the order is about to enter New York where it is expected that a big harvest of 11 cents will be reaped. A principle of the organization is not to return change when an initiation fee is paid. Vice President Roosevelt paid $lO for his, Mr. Bloom said, the money being spent in entertaining the crowd which happened to be present when he took the degrees.

Circuit Court Notes.

The Jasper circuit court convened Monday. Roy Stevenson was fined §1 and costs on plea of guilty to assault and battery. Vern Jacks was the complaining witness. Stevenson took Jack’s cornet apart, and Jacks caused his arrest. Chas. Cordray, who was bound over to court on surety of peace proceedings, was let go on his own recognizance, himself or bondsmen to pay accrued costs. In the case of Frank Frogge, of Morocco, charged with importing voters, his bond was declared forfeited as he failed to appear for trial. Frogge is supposed to have leaped over into Canada. In the case of the SIO,OOO damage suit of Frank E. Babcock vs. Geo. E. Marsnall, the defendant filed a demurrer to the complaint, which was sustained, but plaintiff was given until next Monday to amend the same. Plaintiff has also asked for change of venue from the county, which has not yet been acted upon. A new trial has been granted in the case ofMericavs. S. R. Nichols, and a change of venue granted to White county. This is a suit on a lease and went against Meric’a at the former irial.

SHE MEANT WELL.

Dot Pat a Dumper on the Young Muu'm Euthuaiajim. The young man who aspires to the intense was walking with the young woman who doesn’t quite understand all he says, but nevertheless thinks it is simply grand. “Look on the glories of the western sky!’’ he exclaimed. She seemed puzzled for a minute and said: “Let me see, you face the north—that’s the way our house fronts—and then on your right hand is east and on your left is west. Why, it’s ,the direction we’re walking in, isn't it?” He looked a trifle gloomy, but resumed: “How the great masses of color are piled one upon another in nature’s lavish and transcendent art!” “Yes,” she sighed. “It makes me think of Neapolitan ice cream.” “And there, close and closer to the horizon, sinks a great crimson ball, the setting sun.” “Right over there?” “Yes.” “Straight ahead of us?” “To be sure.” "Well, I’ve been wondering about that for the last five minutes. You know, my little brother is so mischievous. He broke my glasses this afternoon, and I am so near sighted that I couldn’t be sure whether that was the crimson setting sun or somebody playing golf.”—Washington Star.

He Had Done It Himself.

Mabie —George loves me more than he used to. He takes me out twice as often since summer began. Her Scoffing Brother (who knows something)—That’s because ice cream doesn’t cost half as much as oysters!” —Comic Cuts.

The Result.

Greene —Why did they discharge the messenger boy? Brown—Well, you see, Dr. Bungle sent him to the drug store with a prescription, and on his way there Scribbles, the author, gave him a poem to take to The Daily Bugle. The boy got the two mixed and Bungle’s patient received such a mixture that he died. Greene—What became of the prescription? Brown—Oh, it was printed as Scribble’s poem and made such a hit that he got SSOO for it, and the paper signed a contract to take all he can write for a year at $lO a line.—Cleveland Leader.

Another Traffic Episode.

“Miss Giggins,” said the young man with the obtrusive hatband, ‘‘were you ever engaged”— “Mr. Scadson!” she exclaimed, as she blushed a rosy red and sighed. “You have no right to ask such a question unless—unless”— “I merely desired to know,” he went on in a cruel, monotonous voice, “if you were ever engaged in conversation with Professor Fossil. He’s a wonderfully brainy man—you ought to talk to him.”—Washington Star.

Here's an Old One.

“I paid $4 for that dog.” “That seems a good deal for a dog like that.” “But the dog has a wonderful pedigree.” “How far back do they trace it? To the dog that Noah took on the ark?" “This dog’s ancestor didn’t go on the ark.” “Why not?” “He had a bark of his own.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Political Pointer.

“Henry,” she said to her troubled husband, “you know I have joined that new progressive club, and I mean to take some intelligent part in its discussions. What do you think would be the quickest and surest way of purifying politics in the entire country?” “My dear, I should most certainly urge the propriety of a second deluge.” —Detroit Free Press. In an old church in Ross, Herefordshire, England, there are two thriving elm trees, which naturally sprouted from the pavement of the edifice and stand one at each end of a pew. This pew was, many years ago, occupied by John Thyle, who spent a great deal ot money planting elms in Ross.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

All the stranded actor wants Is a show. Curiosity has a peculiar way of getting the better of discretion. He who rules with a rod of iron should select a malleable one. The dog who chases his tail tries his best to make both ends meet. The man whose mind is not made up should never air his opinions in public. A bachelor always feels sorry for a pretty girl who marries some other man. J When a man of mature years acquires the cigarette habit it is easy to see his finish. Possibly the world may owe every man a living, but it has too many preferred creditors. Noah was evidently in the pickling business—at least he filled the ark with preserved pairs.—Chicago Daily News.

Excusatory.

Mentor—You had a great time of it last night, no doubt, but if you knew you were going to have such a headache this morning I guess you would have been more temperate. Slyder—Oh, I don’t know. You never can tell, you know. I might have had a headache if I hadn’t had a time last night.—Boston Transcript.

“’Times aie awfully dull; we must do something to attract the attention of customers.” “Well, let’s us go into bankruptcy."— Chicago Record.
