From Remington.

Gotlicb Stoller, a young man living five miles south of town was 1 found dead in his barn by one of his neighbors Monday morning March 10th. On that day one one of his neighbors, Mr. Chas. Burling, noticing a loose horse there and knowing that Stoller never turned out his horses, went over to see about it. On going into the stall to get the hitter, he found the other horses in a famishing condition, and Stoller hanging by the neck in the stall where the loose horse belonged. Stoller was hanging in such a way, that had he straightened up the least bit there would have been no pressure on the haulter. He was not quite twenty-five years old and unmarried. The Bazar held by the Ladies Aid Society of the Christian church was a succtss both financially and socially the receipts of the evening being thirty-six dollars. One feature of the evening was the /‘Orientals” to the number of about thirty coming in to a late supper. The Union Sunrise prayer meeting held at the M. E. church Easter morning was very well attended. An interesting program was given by the Epworth League and Endeavor societies. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hartley who were called to Michigan by the dangerous illness of Mr. Hartley’s sister have returned home, leaving the sister in a somewhat improved condition. W. A. Traugh has returned from his Oklahoma trip. It is perhaps needless to say that he did not get his claim 'set.tjed as it is a contested case.'

Mr. Alison was taken with a very severe attack of rheumatism Wednesday evening. At present he is much better and again able to attend t<? business. The Epworth League Social held at Mrs. Shepherd’s last week was a very enjoyable affair. It was an egg social and the eggs with appropriate quotations were sold at five cents each, i Mother Trish, the state Evangelist of the W. C. T. U. delivered a course of three lectures at the Christian church last week. They were very interesting and well attended. Mrs. Alice Braddock will return to Chicago this week again. She has rented ftier property here and takes her household goods to Chicago, where they will reside for the future. The Easter entertainment held by the Sunday schools at the Christian and M. E. churches were well atteflded and very injecting, consisting of sringS, irecitations and other »ppi'opF‘ate exercises. The Christian S. S. also rendered an Easter cantata in a very creditable manner.
