U A book for the gay; just what you want; sent securely sealed for 50 cents,” was the wording of the advertisement The “gay” young men who nibbled at the bait and received a neat pocket bible by return mail are not saying much about it, and no oomptamts have been filed with the postoffloe authorities. In our account of the Beech-Nelson wedding, last week, our typo made us speak of Mr. J. W. Paxton, at whose house it took place, as the “father-in-law” of the bride, whereas toe relationship is thatof a brother-in-law. Mr. Paxton is an active citizen but he has not hustled fast enough to yet reach toe dignified position of father-in-law to anybody. The auditor’s notice of real estate advertised for delinquent taxes appears this week. The delinquencies are few in number, although there are a few moee’than last year. This year the only township that'has no delinquincies-at all is Hanging’Grove. Last year Marion tp., was the only one that had that distinction. J. F. Wuteon, who solddiis farm southeast of town a few months ago, has bought lots on Weston street, south of and across the ditch from Wallace Robinson’s place, and intends erecting a good residence there in the spring. J. W. Paxton has bought lots adjoining, and will also probably 4>uild himself another house, there, next season.The owners of the miE at Lowell have been wanting to deepen the outlet of Ceadar Lake, so as to give them more water power. The land owners about the lake have objected, and a law suit-bas resulted. *The decision of Judge Gillet is against the mill owners.

There will be an aterectioa at the Opera 'House next Monday night that will mo doubt patek the house. Manager Eger has hsd the good fortune to-, secure the mammoth production of Uncle Hiram, direct from their long runs in New York and Boston.

and a ; railroad train crossses the stage in -less than ten seconds. NelsondJandle is improving from a severe -spell of sickness from bladder trouble and fever. ..A very notable fact connected with this sickness, is that it is the first timehhe was ever sick. It is the first time a doctor was ever nailed for him, and as it happened it war the samd day he was 50 years when the doctor «was called. Few indeed-are the men who live 50 years without needing a doctor. >

The wife ot Nick Zimmer died last Sunday, at her home in Jordan tp., of long fever. Both she and her husband are well known 4n Rensselaer. -She was a very estimable woman. 'She leaves quite a number of children, most <ft whom however are old enough to ear® for themselves, the youngest being about 12 years old.

The Valparaiso Jfassenper says the 'list of executive pardons for convicts for 1894 gives Governor Matthews the highest record of any governor in tiie history of the state, exceeding Gov. Chase’s high record by 80 per •cent. The record shows Gov. Mat- 1 thews in 1894 has pardoned, paroled or commuted eighty-one people. The majority of these entries are for pardons and paroles. In 1893 Gov. Matthews pardoned fifty-nine. From Dec. 28,1891, to Jan. 9, 1893, Gov. •Chase pardoned sixty-three and the following year he pardoned thirtyfour. A fall of “Black snow” or rather dust accompanying snow, occurred ever nearly the whole state, fast Friday night, and scientific men are much exercised at the cause. Some attribute it to ashes

f rom some distant volcano, and some even to “star dust” from meteors, but the more general as well as the more reasonable theory, is that it was dust picked up by the winds in the dry portions of the west and carried in the upper currents of the air and deposited here during the snow storm. Xt occurred in this immediate vicinity, but other snow following, it was covered over before it attracted much attention. Its black streak may be found by digging down a few inches, most any place.

The State Supreme Court last Friday affirmed the decision in the case of Anson Wolcott, of Wolcott, against the Pan handle Railroad.

There is a man here talking canning factory on the joint stock plan. In view of the fact that there are said to be something like a hundred canning factories lately established in this state, and that other states are following in the same line; and that the well managed Brookston cannery has been compelled to make an assignment; and that the Monticello factory is unable to sell its output at a paying price, it will be the part of wisdom to hesitate some time before putting a cannery here on such terms. If any one comes here and wants to establish a cannery with their own capital, then “Let ’em Go Gallagher.”
