ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The weather is still- fftie and the roads could not be better, and grain Mid fire-wood continue to come in to the Rensselaer market in enormous quantities.. The Monon company has discontinued the sale of the $2 50 round trip Chicago tickets, at this point, and nothing less than full fare, $3.95 now goes. Mrs. A. C. . Anderson, on the Matheson farm, just northwest of town, is very sick with inflamation of the bowels. Her condition is very critical. - —2

The ice men are rushing in their harvest now. Uncle Rees Goddard finished filling his house yesterday afternoon. Starrand Warner <fc Shead began work yesterday, and Haus will begin filling his new building, today. The ice is about 8 inches thick, and very fine quality. The “week of prayer” is being observed this week, by the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, jointly. T he first three nights of the week the services were in the Methodist ch urcb, and the last three will be in the Presbyterian church. Next Tuesday night at Monticello, C. G. Spitler as special deputy, will institute a chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. The initiatory work will be done by the Evening Star Chapter, of Rensselaer, which has a very capable “team” for the work of the order.

Mr. Hoss, of Kokcmo, is the secretary of a poultry pet stock association. There would be a greater appropriateness in the name i! he were the secretary of a trotting association. It would fit about as well, in that case, as would “Mr. Hieronymous,” as the head boss of the average county fair.

The post office authorities are after the people who advertise extensively throughout the country “for young ladies to do writing at home.” The scheme is pronounced a fraud by the postal authorities. It is only a plan to sell a complexion lotion, and was practiced extensively by the South Bend companies now under arrest.

A new suit in the circuit court, filed Monday, is that of Jessie Hulce vs. Alvin McCurtain. The complaint alleges that the defendant seduced the plaintiff, under promise of marriage, and that on June 16th, 1894, she became the mother of a child, of which the defendant was the father. She asks SI,OOO damages. She now lives in Miami epunty. The defendant lives somewhere in the “State of Blackford.”

County Suveyor Alter went to Indianapolis Monday, to attend the annual meeting of the Indiana Engineering Society, of which he is a member of recognized prominence, as is evidenced by his having been placed on one of the most important standing committees in the society, that on Engineering and Surveying. Ex-surveyor Lewis S. Alter, now of Carpenter tp., is also attending this meeting. His high standing in the society is proven by his being a member of two of the eight standing committees, and is chairman of one of them.

Myrtie Lee Portwood, died Sun day night, at the home of her parents George and Martha Portwood, on the Iliff place, east of town. The cause of her death was lung-fever, and her age was 16 years 9 months and 8 days. The funeral was held Wednesday forenoon, at the Christian church, Rev. J. L. Brady preaching [the funeral sermon. Her sickness began the day after Christmas. Two of the younger children in the family have the same disease, but their condition is some better. The family are recent comers here, their former residence being Danville, Hl.

Last Sunday committees were appointed by several of our churches, to raise contributions for the Nebraska sufferers. The condition of these peopleja deplorable, and it is to be hoped that Rensselaer people will be ready to do their part in the good work for their relief. There is great excitement hereaabouts, regarding the alleged wonderful cures by Dr. Dowey, a faith healer, in Chicago. ‘ Quite a number Rensselaer people have taken his treatment, and Mrs. Isaac Sayler is there now being treated for an old case of paralysis. John Nowels has had a daughter there, and will take her again in a few days. Also Miss Etta Yeoman, daughter of D. H. Yeoman, has just gone there. She arrived from Florida, last Friday, and is said to be far gone with consumption. Money to loan on Real Estate in sums of SSOO to SIO,OOO. Call on or address J. M. Winkley, Monon, Ind.

J. M. Winkley, Monon, Ind. Rev. Edward Baech former pastor of the Rensselaer Presbyterian church and Mrs. Irene R. Nelson, were married Wednesday morning, Jan. 9 th., at the residence of Mr. John W. Paxton, the bride’s father-in-law. It was a very quiet affair, only relatives and very near friends being present. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Kane, of Sheldon, Illinois, an old friend of the groom. Immediately after the ceremony the newly married couple took the train for Indianapolis, where Mr. Baech is now located as assistant pastor of one of the leading Prebyterian Churc'nes of that city. Three good stoves for sale. 1 hard coal, 1 coke, and 1 wood heater. Call on Wm. Cotton. Tom McCoy “blew in” to the court room, Tuesday afternoon, looking for judge Wiley. He asked Dept. Clerk Irwin if court was in session, and that veracious official, to see what would come next said “No.” Special Judge Chilcote sat in the judges seat writing. Tom, supposing he had deposited himself there, just for a convenient seat, walked up, reached out for a shake, and in bis usual bluff and breezy way asked loudly, “What the d 1 are you doing here?” After another raw crack or two,he found that court was in session, and he abruptly subsided. He has got it in for Jim Irwin now, the biggest kind. We have now made arrangements to again club with the weekly Inter Ocean, of Chicago; and the weekly New York Tribune.

The Republican and the Inter Ocean, both one year, for $1.85. The Republican and the New York Tribune, both one year, $1.75. All three papers one year, $2.10. *The above offers apply to all—old subscribers as well as new.

The Remington Press says that James Welch of Rensselaer, has lately visited that town, with a view to establishing there a canning factory, and the Press speaks favorably of the prospects. This is confirmation, by the way, of the statement of some of our exchanges, that Davis & Rankin of Chicago, having skinned the people as long as they couldf iA the role of professional creamery locators, have now turned their attention to establishing canneries on the same plan. This' firm worked up a craze for creameries all over the country, and established them by hundreds, or perhaps thousands; most of them in communities which were not in shape to maintain them, and in all cases charging for the building and outfit, two or three times their actual value. Rensselaer has one of these creameries, and manages to keep it running'. Remington,and something like a hundred other towns in Indiana, has one, and can’t keep it running. Mr. Welch was one of the promoters of this creamery establishing bussine ss in its flowery days of sucessf ul robbery, and he is, very probably ,still in the employ of the same firm. If Remington peo-ple-dont want to be bit twice with the same snake, they will have nothing to do with any professional cannery establishing firm; and above all, avoid the fellows who loaded their white elephant creamery onto them before.
