He expects to return soon and resume his contract carpenter work with M illiam illetts, Mr. Gwin will move into Mr. Banta's house to live. A couple of i.’.en from Morocco are working out the Railroad Co s. taxes by hauling gravel. They are putting it on the north end of the road leading south from gravel west of here.

Mr. Banta's loss is a great one and he has the expressed sympathy of his many friends here. Messers Richcreek. Holmes, Willett and Hopkins attended Lodge at Rensselaer last Thursday evening.

Remarkable Recovery of Monon.

Indianapolis Journal. —W. H. McDoel, receiver of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, yesterday filed his final report in the United States District court. The road was thrown into the hands of a receiver March 24, 1896, and Judge Woods appointed Mr. McDoel to the position. The history of the case is well known, the receivership being forced to rid the company of certain obligations that had been? inherited from a former management. On Jan. 23, 1897, the court ordered a foreclosure sale of the property on March 10, and it was bid in by a company incorporated as the Chicago. Indianapolis & Louisville Railroad company. The receiver makes an itemized report of receipts and disbursements during the period the property was in the hands of the court, winch was a few days over one year. During his receivership he expended 51,337,778.01 in improvements of the company. As receiver he disbursed a grand total of 83.41!,594.27. Judge Woods allowed him as compensation for his services during the time the road was in the hands of a receiver 815.500. The new company took charge of the property June 30. 1897. At the time of the sale of the road it had an indebtedness of 8286.501.38, which the hew management assumed. Tha receiver now has nd assets, money or other property belonging to the trust in his possession. Under the reorganized.com pany the road will continue to be known as the Monon. This receivership will be remembered for its brief duration. In fact, it i.§ stated that there has never been a case where a road of any importance has been placed in the hands of a receiver, foreclosed, sold and put into the hands of a reorganized company in so short a time.

A Barn Made of Straw.

A barn that is attracting much attention all over the state, is being built on the farm of William Kerlin, in Carroll county. The barn is being built (of baled straw and will be 30x50 feet in size. Mr. Kerlin put down sleepers and is building the walls out off the large

bales of straw on the same principle that a brick wall is built, only there is no inorter used, but long, sharp wooden pins are driven down through the bales to hold them together, and it is said that it makes a solid and substantial wall. For the roof there are rafters put up and covered with rye straw. He is putting in windows and doors, and excepting the walls and roof, the building that of any other you may see on the farm. The novel structure is attracting considerable attention of people passing the road. It is said that there are hundreds of these buildings in Germany and that they are very warm and durable, and will last for many years.

The Monon Don't Want It.

"The Monon does not appear at all anxious to close that much discussed deal with the Midland people," says the Wabash Tribune: “Harry Crawford is very anxious that it should be consummated; owing to the hard times of the last year or two, many farmers have been unable to pay the rent for the ground used as truck patches along the right of way. A big damage suit is threatened over near Lebanon because of the semi annual passage of a hand car last

August which instantly killed a fine Buff Cochin hen which had selected the weeds between the rails as a suitable place to set. Environed by such threatening embarrassments, no wonder Mr. Crawford desires to make some change. The Monon people regard the property with disfavor; they were under the impression that the six hand cars used on the system were in good repair and when they discovered that there were missing brakes, taps, etc., they wisely concluded not to make the purchase. Mr. Crawford must still figure as a bloated railroad magnate.’"

Rev. C. D. Jeffries, pastor of the Presbyterian church left this morning for a two weeks visit with his family at Apple Creek, Ohio. Next Thursday afternoon, Watseka and the Rensselaer foot ball .elevens will battle for supremacy at Remington for a purse of’Bso.
