Randle, Norman Warner, and Benjamin Harris. The above referred to, is here given. OBITUARY Alfred Thompson was bora in Stark County, Ohio on Ootober 15th. 1829. He was the third child of David and Eliza (McCoy) Thompson in a family of ten children. Of that family 'our brothers are still living. When Alfred was four years old the family of seven moved into the forests in Hancock County, Ohio. They endured the hardships of a frontier life and their only school was the family fireside. Later, short winter schools were supported by subscription. When Alfred was fifteen he commenced teaching school in winter. At the age of twenty one, he engaged as a clerk in the bank of his ancle Thomas McCoy in New Lisbon Ohio. On June 12th 185&he was married to Mary E. Travis at Prairie Bird, Illinois. This marriage was a most happy one. Their spirits were congenial and they were help metes to each other. They moved at once to Rensselaer, Indiana where their borne has been ever since. They have three living children, Mrs. Florence Sears, Mrs. Ora Ross and Delos Thompson aid five grandchildren. Home was to Mr. Thompson the only place. He was a wise, just and devoted father. And for over forty years there was mutual, filial, conjugal and paternal love in the family. Mr. Thompson, was daring all life, a busy worker. He tried to live as a practical Christian, oaring for his own household, aiding his neighbors and giving no just cause of offence to any one. Several months since he was stricken with what he believed was a mortal sickness. He bore up under affliction with patience and fortitnde. His mind remained clear and calm to the end. His whole family united to give to him every attention and care that could be-bestowed. All that human skill and effort could do was done to prolong his life. The living current ebbed slowly away, and in the midst of the most friendly care by his whole family at two A. M. on March 3rd, 1896 at the age of sixty six years, four months and fifteen days he went to sleep in a sure and certain hope of the Resurrection. Mr. Thompson so lived that in the silent halls of death he was sustained and soothed by the knowledge that he had in fighting the battle of life, tried to follow the golden rule. He believed and noted at all times on the gentle principle that the sonl that can be honest, nearest approaches perfection in living.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The revival meetings at the M. E* church closed last Sunday evening. They resulted in 30 additions to the church membership. f New hats, Spring bats, at Mrs. Imes. The reported drowning of Fred Lang, formerly of Wheatfleld Tp., in Lake Michigan, at Chicago, Feb. 19th has been confirmed* He was dumping a load of dirt m the lake, and his horses became frightened and dragged him in. Hia body has not been recovered. He was nearly 56 years old, and leaves a widow and four grown children. Mrs. L. M. Imes has just retained from Chicago with an immense stock of new millinery goods. is more to follow. The cqunty commissioners are now investigating different qualities of stone, to determine what to use in the new court house. In our judgement, they will make » great mislake if they positively require any one kind of store to be used. They should select several good varieties and let contractors specify in' their bids which one they are bidding on. If they are tied up beforehand to one particular stone, then proposed bidders will be largely at the mercy of the mercy of the owners of that stone, and of the local lobbyists who are legging for said stone owners. There are many good varieties of building stone, and we are satisfied that if some latitude of choice is given to bidders, that it will make many thousands of dollars difference in the contract price of the building. Dr. V. E. Loughridge, one of Rensselaer’s leading physicians, is now very dangerously sick, from a disease, or complication of diseases, which have developed since last Saturday. His principal disease, as diagnosed by our local physicians and confirmed by Dr. Morgan, of Chicago Medical College, who visited him Monday night, is Endarteritis, or inflamation of the lining of the arteries. It is a very rare, painful and dangerous disease, usually or always in the legs, and generally results in the apparent death and mortification of the limb affected. Dr. Morgan stated that in all his hospital practice, he had only seen two or three case,s and in these life was saved only by the amputation of the limb. In Dr. Longhride’s case, it was Dr. Morgan’s opinion that amputation would probably be found necessary, bnt from the results of an analysis made after returning to Chicago, he has informed the resident physicians that the general condition of the patient is such that amputation is not to be thought of at present. Besides the above mentioned, Dr. Laughridge is suffering from inflamation of the kidneys. No one but physicians and attendants are allowed to see him.
