PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION

County Surveyor Alter is on the sick list this week' He is suffering from inflamation of the throat. Born. —To Mrs. Lola Shortridge, wife of John Shortridge, of Keener tp., on Saturday, June, 16 th, a son. Gen. Van Rensselaer orders his copy of The Republican sent to Litchfield, Conn., during the summer. Mr. and Mrs- J. T. Randal united with the M. E. church at this place, last Sunday morning, by letter. Miss Jessie French, of Kentland is visiting Dellie and Hattie Hopkins and other friends, of Rensselaer. Prof. Henri Levino, the distinguished artist and musican, registered at the Makeever House last Friday. J. H. Willey received another Jersey calf last week. He will soon have a fine herd of that breed. Mr. H. R. W. Smith, of the Cincinnati Inquirer, is taking his regular summer vacation with his relatives, the Paxtons, in Newton The Ladies Literary Society, in accordance with their established custom, will not hold any more regular meetings during the summer, but have taken a vacation unil October.

Dr. I. B. Moore and, family of Kokomo, was in town over Sunday, visiting with Dr. Washburn’s family. The Doctor was surprised at the wealth and thrift of the people of Rensselaer and vicinity. Marshal Platt is having a good amount of work done on the streets. The road law, enacted by the last Legislature, provides for two dollars tax for each poll, and two days work for each able bodied man between the ages of 21 and 50 years. Sheriff jiPowell, on his way to Indianapolis, Monday, was accompanied as far as Rossville by Mrs. Powell, who stopped at the latter place to visit friends. Mr. Powell stopped for her on his return but found her sick and unable to travel. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Cleveland went to Kansas last week to visit friends. Mrs. Cleveland owns a jet mocking bird which she has est in care of F. B. Learning at lis drug store. It is a bird of rare talents and attracts much attention by his musical performances.

Nick Cleaver got somwhat drunker than usual Friday night, and was locked up m jail until the next morning, when he was taken before Squire Wood and being convicted of a plain drunk, was fined one dollar and costs. The whole amounting to about ten dollars. The Bev. J. J. Claypool started for Bosville, 111., Tuesday; going by the way of Attica, this state. From Attica he will be accompanied by A. P. Green, a prominent merchant of that place, and whom, at Rossville, he will unite in marriage to Miss Esther Thompson, of the latter place. The marriage takes place at nine o’clock a. m. to-day. Mr. Berry Parris, whose return home was mentioned last week, was very favorably impressed with that portion of Dakota which came under his observation. He went no furthur than Bridgewater, in McCook county, in the South-east-ern portion of the territory. Fine grain was raised there last year, and the growing crops of the present season look well.

Dan Frazer, of Fowler, has discharged the difficult and thankless duties of prosecuting attorney, during the term of court which closed Saturday, in a manner to win the highest commendations of court, bar, jurors, and all others who had an opportunity for forming an intelligent opinion of the manner in which the work was done.

Born. —Unto James A. Yeoman and wife last Sunday morning, another son.

A. Leopold is fitting up his stone building with a new front. It will be a good etore room when the repairs are completed. Bev. Gilbert Small will preach in the Bowling Green school house on next Sabbath, July Ist, at 3 o’clock p.m.

Lost Interest in the Game.

The Monon base ball olub came over Friday and played the return game with the Comets of Rensselaer, in the afternoon. The game began promptly at two o'clock, and lasted about three hours. The Monons won the toss np and sent the Comets to the bat. The first inning was a boom for the Comets, they scored four runs and whitewashed their opponents. Then they lost their grip. Seven straight whitewashes weie inflicted upon the Rensselaer nine, while the opposing club scored sixteen tallies, six of them in the second inning. At the last inning the Comets plucked up hearts of grace and made four more Tuns, leaving the White county boys ahead with a score of sixteen to eight. Dr. Clayton, of Monon, acted as umpire of the game. He evinced a tolerably thorough understanding of the rules of the game, and, evidently, sought to be impartial in his judgements, although two or three decisions which favored the Monons, were unquestionably in error. The Comets naturally expected to meet essentially the same club they played with at Monon, but when they coma to play they found only four men in the club who played at Monon. The other five were different men, better players, and a part of them, at least, were from other places than Monon. One or two changes might have been made in the personnel of the Monon olub and nothing been thought of it, but when it comes to changing more than half the members of the club, it begins to look like “a setup job.” If, as seems probable, it was a scheme gotten up for the purpose of winning bets from Rensselaer gudgeons, it was a conspicuous failure; as our people “tumbled to the racket” and kept their cash in their pockets. Although the weather was uncomfortably hot, a rather largo crowd of spectators witnessed the game. The best of order prevailed among the spectators, and good feeling among the players. The applause was not very hearty, after the first inning. The Monons, as at present constituted, are unquestionably a strong club, and the Comets will have to get in some mighty good work to get away with the winning game. The Comets played well in the field, but for some reason, were bad at the bat clear through the game. In the evening the Rensselaer Comet Band, under the auspices of the Comets, went to the Makeever House and serenaded the visiting club and their friends. Mr. Sills, an attorney, and a member ot the club responded for the Monons with a very neat and appropriate little speech. Himself, and all his friends, were enthusiastic in their acknowledgments of the hospitable and courteous treatment they had received in Rensselaer.

Temporary Aberration. —Miss Mary Gorman, a reputable young lady of good connections, who has for a few weeks past been working in the family of F. B. Meyers, the druggist, on Friday morning of last week, while suffering from a fit of temporary aberration of mind, left town, without warning, and, as was subsequently ascertained, started on foot for Chicago. Her friends, who live near town, at one took measures for her recovery. With much trouble they succeeded in tracing her course to Chicago, but when they found her which was not until yesterday, she had recovered the use of her mental faculties and was at the L., NA. & C. depot waiting to take the train for Rensselaer. She has no clear reccoliection of the time she left this place nor of her subsequent adventures..
