CITY NEWS.

Minor Items Told in a Paragraph. Daily Grist of Local Happenings Classlfl d Under Their Respective Headings. FRIDAY. J. J. Montgomery is at Reynolds today. David Thompson is in Chicago today. F. B. Meyer and daughter Thena are at Monticello today. J. J. Hunt is transacting business at Chalmers today. John Greenfield is recovering from a weeks sickness.

Will and John Carr, of Brook, and Charley* Thomas, of Lowell, attended the foot ball game yesterday.

Mrs. R. J. Hawkins left for her home at Pawnee City, Neb., this ■ morning* after a weeks visit with her brother W. J. Irwin. Albert White returned to his home at Chicago this morning after a few days visit with the family of his father, Robert White. Dr. S. C. Johnson is just starting a new German class. He desires those who wish to become pupils to see him at his office soon. - 'Mrs. Rilla Wright after a few days visit with friends here, went to Monon- last night for a weeks visit before returning to her home at Knightstown, Uncle Ben Harris will probably be made a special member of the Rensselaer foot ball team. His function will be to kick goal. A kick that he gave the pig-skin yesterday it alighted in his vicinity shows that as a goal kicker he could excel any present member of the team. Most of Rensselaer’s best citizens favored the foot ball game with their presence, yesterday. Such men, for instance, as A. Parkison, J. M. Wasson, M. L. Spitler, Rev. B. F. Ferguson, Rev, D. A. Tucker, Elder W. O. Moore, Prof. Sanders, Benj. Harris, F. W. Bedford, S. O’Meara etc. The total number of people present was from 800 to 1000. Magee, the Valparaiso player hurt in Thursday’s foot ball game, appears to have received a severe blow about the temple, which caused a concussion of the base of the brain. It affected him pretty severely for a time, but he had nearly recovered by the time his train left, at 6:19 in the evening. It was not thought that any serious results would follow the blow. It is supposed he was struck by some player’B knee. There was a thunder storm sandwiched in with the rest of the night’s rainy weather, early this morning. It is an old saying to look for cold weather after a thunder storm in winter. And it

• ■ T.. -- is one Hut seems well founded. In fact, there is almost always cooler weather after a thunder storm at any season of the year. It takes a warm wave of air to generate a thunder storm, and warm waves cause upward currents in the air which cause colder currents to rush in. Hence the idea that thunder in the winter is a “sign” of cold weather to follow has some sense and reason behind it, which most weather signs have not.

SATURDAY. * Clyde Coover is on the sick list. James Antrim is at Chicago today. Mrs. Mel Abbott is visiting her parents at Delphi. Mrs. Geo. Healey of Brookston is visiting relatives at this place. Miss Mae Fox came home today from a few days visit at Monticello. Bom, yesterday, to Mr. and Mrs. Dowell, at Sharon, a ten pound boy. Mrs. Will Hoover returned home this morning from a visit with her parents, near Delphi.

Ira Rhinehart, the cement walk builder, who has been a resident of Rensselaer for the past two years has moved his family to Delphi. Mrs. J. T. Abbett and children after a few days visit with the family of Webb Reeve, left for their home at. Eugene Oregon this morning.

Zea well known in Rensselaer and for many years residents of Hanging Grove Tow nship. President G. S. Burroughs, of Wabash College, delivered his lecture, “Making the Most of Ourselves,” at the Presbyterian church last evening, as a part of the teachers’ association program. It was attended by a very large audience who listened to it with great interest and profit. Granville Moody and John Eger arrived home last night from a five days trip to Nebraska. They mixed pleasure with business to some extent, in the way of doing a little hunting. Their principal game was jack-rabbits, of which they shot 28. They brought a few home with them and had the rest sent by express. They also bagged about a dozen prairie chickens. The Monon is to have 200 flat cars forty feet long. These cars are usually long and are built exclusively to handle car sills, which are thirty-nine feet long as a rule. The ordinary flat car is thirty feet long, and all shipments of car sills must be made on two cars. The lumber business handled by the Monon from the south is perhaps as large as that of any road in the country. To day was made the 117th monthly payment on the first series of the Rensselaer Building Loan and Savings Association. The time this series has yet to run can now be figured with appoximate exactness, although not absolutely so, as it can not be known with certainty how much interest can be got out of the sur-

plus funds now* on hand end to accumulate during the next few months. It will take six more monthly payments, which will include the one for next June, and a part at least, and perhaps the whole, of the payment for July. “Mike Mikeljohn” whose real name is said to be Charley Anderson, got drunk yesterday, and late in the evening marched into Dr. English’s residence, on Cullen St, and remained until Mrs. English had summoned Marshal McGowan, by telephone. His unceremonious advent greatly frightened Mrs. English, although he made no great disturbance of any kind. Dr. H. L. Brown, Mrs. English’s brother, happened to be present and put the fellow out, but he refased to go away, and insisted on being arrested. This morning Squire Burnham gave him the customary $1 and costs, sl2 in all, which will have to be worked out at the workhouse. “Mike is a new T comer here.

MONDAY. Mrs. Wm. Collins is quite sick. Miss Iva Alber is visiting Rensselaer friends for a few days. Miss Helen Humes is visiting her sister at Lafayette this week.

Christie of Hadley, and Mrs. Underwood of New Winchester left for their homes today after a few days visit with Prof, and Mrs. Sanders. •i Elder W. O. Moore, the retiring pastor of the Rensselaer Christian church, is shipping his household goods to Indianapolis, where he will make his residence for a time, at least.

An enormous globe, turned by a waterwheel, all operated by clockwork, is a feature that attracts a good deal of attention in Ellis & Murray’s show window. It is one of the finest, specimens of the window dressing art ever seen in our city. And still another drunken man was run in, at noon today, by Marshal McGowan. He was staggering around the street up in the neighborhood of the Catholic church. He claims to be from Remington. His case will probably come before the Squire tonight. James Masker has been rushing his big hitch and feed bam along so fast that he now expects to have it ready for business about ■ Wednesday or Thursday. The cold weather has of course, interfered somewhat with the progress of the building. J. H. Willey left for Chicago today, after several days spent with his Rensselaer relatives. He has severed his connection with the eastern house he was traveling for, and has accepted an offer from the well known and old established wholesale grocery firm of Merriam, Collins & Co., of Chicago. He will travel for them in northern Indiana.
