Capt.J. M. W;is-on is getting material on the grounds for a good residence, on his lot back of the old school house, in Newton’s Addition. The building will be completed this season. „ As my intentions are to quit business, I have decided to close out my entire stock at cost. R. Fendig.

Look at Leopold’s 5 and 10 cent counters. Numberless articles can be found there, at those prices, worth five times the amount in value. Buy pure teas and fresh roasted coffee at C. C. Starr’s.

Her age was about 29 years. *She was the mother of four children, only two of whom are now living. She was the daughter of Bronson Harrington, a well known resident of Union tp.

A large force Of carpenters began , work on Emmet Kannal’s new residence Monday morning, the stone I basement of which is already com-! pleted Mr. Kannal has changed his plan and will erect a wooden house, instead of brick. Judging from the plan of the building, the house will be the largest and most elaborately constructed frame residence in the town, as well the,most costly. A man named Fred Cann was ar- •• . i rested at Milwaukee, Wis., last Saturday, for bigamy, and was taken to j Beloit, Wis., and will, it was stated, plead guilty to the charge. The case has a local interest from the fact that the second wife was Miss Kittie Hyland, of Pana. 111., but formerly of Rensselaer. The first wife, who caused the arrest, was married in Wichita, Kans., five years ago. The Presbyterian people are thinking pretty strongly of erecting a rcstdouemfortheir m imstcr,- a- 41 manse”, in the technical language of the or--1 gimlfcatioa. If the plan is carried out wo understand that Miss .Susan-Vam |Rensselaer, who is now- in -Europe, will donate the lot. in accordance Fwlth A- HVOfe't. .made by her- during ! her late vi*it to Rensselaer, offering ! to the church, as a free gift, their choice of any lot owned by her in the town as a site for the building. l i' , •••

Rev. McGuire will organise a class , i in vocal music next Tuesday evening, at the school building in Rensselaer. Four lessons each week will be given during the Normal. If a class of! twenty or more ca.ii be organized,, the tuition will be only one dollar | for the twenty lessons. This will be conducted for the benefit of the teachers anti all others interested. There should be fifty at least willing to join the class. The time is near at hand when the culture of the voice and teaching the rudiments of music will be required of every teacher in our public schools. Now is the time to begin Hie preparation, that you may not be found wanting.

John (J. Lewis, assessor of Barkley tp., has a row which needs dehorning, and needs it had. Mr. Lewis was,trying to corral a calf Monday, the progen}’ of the cow aforesaid, when the latter took a very active interest, in [the proceedings, and charging upon Mr. Lewis, she inflicted upon hint a very painful wound in the leg, tear- | ing loose, with her horn, an immense j section of the cuticle. 3lh Lewis i went backwards over the cow’s head, 'and before he had time to know how jit was done he fonnd himself on the other side of a high fence and left his dog to settle the controversy with the cow. He came ato. ee to town and Dr. Alter dressed his wound. It,is a ver}’ painful but not otherwise serious injury

F.. B. Learning, now of Goshen, this state, spent Sunday in Rensselaer, where his family are spending the summer. ;• Rev. Father Hahn, superintendent of ; the Indian School, accompanied 21 of his pupils to Chicago Monday, to start them on their way to their homes. Eighteen of the boys were Menominees from Wisconsin. There are 20 of the young Indians still remaining at the school, about 8 more of whom will soon go to their homes. It is not likely that man)' of those now going away will return to the school, as Farther Hahn is very desirous of securing a younger and more tractable class of pupils for next year.

Only one accident of any moment ! occurred at Rensselaer during the Fourth bf July celebration, and that was quite .serious* and might easily have been worse. Henry Jones, a boj' of about 17 years old, son of W. N. Jones, had driven the Makeover House hack to the depot to meet the 11:02 p. m. train, and was returning with the hack to the brick livery stable. When near Goff’s restaurant, Iwq 'young fellows on horse-baeky came riding around the corner from the livery stable, at a fearful rate, and before they could turn or check their horses, one of them ran, full tilt, into the hack. The horse the young man was riding, went down and over and over, but the rider was not hurt, so far as known. l r oung Jones, however, was thrown out of the hack, and the wheels ran over his head, and gave him two pretty bad cuts, while he was otherwise pretty badly shocked and bruised. Dr, Hartsell dressed his injuries, ans he is now pretty well on the way to recovery. The young fellows whose reprehensibly careless riding caused the accident, live somewhere east of town.

Dl*. Washburn, who is taking a special and high class course in surgery ii* Chicago, to get hold of the new methods which have totally rev- : olutionized that branch of the healing science during the last tweuty!five years, witnessed a remarkable ,surgical operation in one of the hospitals there, one day last week. The operation was bone-grafting, and itj had never before been attempted in this country, although it has been performed several times in Europe. A large section of the bone of a man’s leg* below the knee, was removed, being diseased, and in the place of 'the removed bone, was placed finely broken fragments of'tho bone of a

dog’s leg. taken from a living dog, while under the influence of chloroform. It is supposed that, if. the operation is successful, the broken fragments of the (log’s bone will unite, and form a new bone in the man’s leg. If the dog’s bone in the man’s leg should retain its native agility, it would be awkward for itl new owner, as it would be a bad running mate for the old, purely human, leg. It any case it is but reasonable to suppose that a man with a dog’s leg would be peculiarly subject to the accident of barking his shin.

i Impressive Ceremonies at The Sejr Catholic College. 4—~ ~ ~ *. - ... —; —— - ! The laying and blessing of the j corner-stone of the new' St Joseph’s f College building at Rensselaer, took j place last Sunday afternoon, with imi pressive ceremonies and in the pres- ! ence of a yery large concourse of people. The ceremony was conducted by the Very Rev. Vicar-General -H- j Bramnaer, of Ft. Wayne, acting for J Bishop Dwenger, who is in Mexico, 1 for his health. He was assisted by j Rev, Henry Di'ees of Carthagenia, Ohio, Provincial of the Catholic Or- ■ der of the Precious Blood, Rev.

Thomas Eisenring, of Ft Wayne, the resident priests. Father Hahn and Dick, and by the newly converted ■pupils of the adjoining Indian School - After the corner-stone laying, the ceremony of which was in Latin, the foundation walls of the building were blessed by sprinkling with holy-water. Following this an extended ifn d able address, made bv the Vicar General, and also a few remarks regarding the plans and purpose of the proposed college, by Rev. Drees. A portion of the latter’s remarks in which he requested the kindly co-operatiou of the town of Rensselaer in making a better road from the college into the town was especially appropriate and deserving of the consideration of our people. The corner-stone Bad a square cavity in which were placed in an air-tight glass vessel and hermetically sealed, papers containing brief sketches of the national and state governments as they exist to-day, copies of newspapers, <fec. The college building is 135 by 55 feet in dimensions, will be three stories and a basement in height. The basement is completed and is of stone* mostly from the quarries southeast of town. Above the basement, brick will the material used. A considerable start has already been made in the work of laying the brick, and large force of men is now engaged on the work.

THE LAYING OF A CORNER-STONE.

The building will be completed and ready for opening as an institution of learning, by Sept. Ist 1391. It will at the first have for about 129 students. The institution will be open to any who wish to j avail themselves of the privilege,.although its primary purpose is the iiting of candidates for-the priest-hood for the higher education of the universities. By the liberality and exertions of the ladies of the church and of the community generally, an excellent dinner was spread in the grove near the building and nearly 300 persons were diiied. at the nominal price ot 25 mitts each.

In this connection Rev. Father Dick requests us to express the sincere thanks of himself and bus colaborators for the liberal assistance accorded by the people of Resselaer and surrounding country, on this occasion.

Messrs. Scribner’s Sons announce that Stanley’s great work, “In Darkest Africa,” was published Saturday, June 28, and simultaneousl}” in England, Germany, etc. They expect to begin shipping soon, hence those who would secure the earliest delivery should subscribe at once. The great question that is coming to the front to-day is the civilization and commercial development of Africa, just as ilj was three centuries ago in Amtifpp.. Stanley’s recent discoveries, as made *kirown in his look, will greatly change previous ideas. The full text of tliese discoveries have been kept a secret, mid will only be revealed in this book. Sian ley’s letters to his friends and to die newspapers, and even his one article in Scribner’s Magazine, only faintly hints at the wealth of information and interest purposely retained for his book.

Most Successfully Celebrated

The Fourth of July in Rensselaer. Another surpassingly successful : Fourth of July celebration is to be recorded to the credit of Rensselaer. The weather was entirely lovely and the attendance very large ;-how large we shall not undertake to say. As compared with that of last year, some good judges estimate the crowd as twice as large, while others, perhaps equally as good judges, think that not more than half as many were present as were a year ago,—which statements only illustrate the fact that human judgment is still imperfect, aud liable to err, oven in this eighteen hundred and ninety-first year of grace and of the Independence of the United .States the hundred and fifteenth. For our part, suffice ft to sav, there was an immense attendance and all was good behavior and good nature. In regard to the entertainment furnished, the promises of the committees were carried out in good faith, and in every important particular. . v. ~ , ■■■

The parade at 10:30 was very fine, the principal features being a Targe band of young Indians, from St. Joseph’s Normal School, a big wagon load of very comical Negro minstrels, delegations from the townships and a “Wild West” display, consisting of a large number of young men on horseback, in the costumes of cow-boys and wild Indians. They and the Negro minstrels were gotten up regardless of trouble and expense and deserve great credit for their success. The exercises at the speakers’ stand were brief, as not all the speakers advertised were present, but otherwise .entirely satisfactory. Judge Hammbrkl presided with his usual grace and dignity; Rev. R. 51. Sim-" mons made a prayer; the Declaration I was read by C. W. Posfill, and very excellent, and instructive addresses were made by Profs. F. W- Iteubelt and H. L. Wilson. Music, vocal and instrumental, agreebly interspersed the exercises.

The races and other sports, in the afternoon, were- very spirited and exceedingly interesting. As usual in athletic contests, the young Indians got away with most of the honors. The hundred yards s print race, in which there were 0 starters, 4. Whites and 2 Indians, was won by the young chief, Oshkosh, in 11 1 sec’s. Prize 15. In the next race the contestants had to pass through a headless barrel, midway of the cojursc. It was won by Joo Daybird, of the Indian school. Five starters, all white but Joe.

The barrel race was next. The participants had to wear a headless barrel, during the race. Four white boys and two Indians started. The two later, ons Gibeucncsse and Joe Daybird, tied the first heat; but in in the second, Daybird got a bad fall and his competitor took the race. In the three-legged race, four pairs started, two of which were Whites and two Indians. Gne of the later Joe Daybird and Roderick Jiarion, took the race.

In the shoe race for boys under 12, the contestants had to start barefoot and half way of the distance, fish their shoes out of a tub with the others, put them on, lace them up, and then complete the race. Bertie Rhoades, son of Marsh Rhoades, took the prize. The potatoe race bad nine starters, and was won by Oshkosh. The game of base ball between the Whites and ludinns was hotly contested. The Indians played the best ball, but their failure to understand certain parts of the rules, lost 4hem the game. The score was 22 to 21. Purse $lO. of which $7.50 went to the winners mid $2.50 to the losers. The display of fire-works at night was truly magnificent, although it lost much of its attractiveness by ‘.he slowness in fireing off, the people growing exceeding weary during the long waits between pieces. The extent of this weariness may be judged from the fact that nine tenths of the people* went away before the last and finest piece was fired, i The two drums and a fife offered \ as a prize to the largest township delj egation, was carried off by Union tp., | which showed up with a compact delegation of 15 or 20 vehicles and considerable body of boreemcn.
