Young Sanford Adams is thought to be improving a little. He is , still entirely delirous, however. Mrs. Harry Butler of Goodland, is making a few days visit with Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Rhoades of this city. W. W. Watson, the special pension examiner, stopped off here yesterday, for a short visit to Dr. Alter, going on in the evening. Dr. Alter’s condition shows no great change either for better or worse, although lie now rests much better than he did and also takes more nourishment. The attorneys in the big tire damage case of Brown vs. The Monon, their argument today. By argreement, they will finish their arguments today, each side being limited to 3£ hours for speaking. A Jasper county couple were married at Groodland Wednesday, Jan. 25th. They were Mr. John Stillman, whose father is also Johu Stillman, and Miss Stella May, daughter of John May. Rev. H. J. Van Duyn, pastor of Goodland Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony. The 161st Indiana regiment, at Havana, is erecting a monument, 20x20 feet at the base, with a shaft 20 feet high, in memory of their comrades who have perished in Cuba. The material is of coral rook. The whole cost will be about $2,000, and the monument will be dedicated next week. Arthur S. Lakin, of the 4th U. S. regulars, did not go to Manilla with his regiment, a few days ago, after all. It seems that he had not fully recovered from the severe sickness he contracted at Santiago, and in a letter received by his brother, a few days ago, he stated that the regiment had gone and left him behind, and his discharge was expeoted within a few days. It is understood that it has now been received and that the young man is now visiting relatives in another part of the state. SATURDAY. Mr. and Mrs. William Babcock are visiting relatives in Chioago. Simon Leopold has a specially severe case of the prevailing complaint, the grip. # * Miss Frankie Porter, the deputy recorder, has been sick for several days, with the grip.

ton, 111, today, his old horns, and will visit there for several weeks. Miss Nina Hammond of Lafayette, is .making a few days visit with Miss Virgie Austin of this city. A very pleasant euchre party was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Hollingsworth last evening. About fourteen couples were present. Mr. and Mrs. A.* Joyner of Chicago, who have been visiting their son T. J. Joyner and family, for several weeks returned home this morning. Ad and Harvey Robinson, of lola, Kansas, arrived here this morning, for a visit with their many relatives in this place and its vicinity.

Mrs. A. D. Swain of Morocco, who has been visiting her sister Mrs. M. L. Spitler for several days returned home this morning. D. A. Stoner got out yesterday for the first time after more than two weeks’ sickness with the grip. Mrs. Stoner has also been sick with it for over two weeks and is not out yet.. The big damage suit against the Monon was decided at boon today, after one of the longest,.if not the longest, trial ever held in this county. The case was given to the jury last evening and just after noon today they brought in a verdict for Brown, the plaintiff, for $5,411.40 He sued for $20,000. Rev. H. M. Middleton will present Bishop Fowler’s great appeal to the Methodist Church on the Twentieth Century Memorial at the morning service, tomorrow at Trinity Church, and will preach on “There is Life for a Look” tomorrow night. All the members of the church are especially requested to be present in the morning prepared to help lift a small indebtedness on side-walk insurance eto. -A. - . ' , . Our Rensselaer blacksmiths, usually so gentle and harmonious, are now on the war path over horseshoeing and people can get their horses shod at most any old price. The situation is not without its humors, as, for instance, a day or two ago, when one shop, which still charges $1.25 for shoeing, sent a dull file with 10 cents, and its oompliments, to another shop which has a lower price for shoeing and with it a note requesting that the cheaper shop have some of its idle hands sharpen the file, as everybody at the first shop was too busy shoeing horses to have time to sharpen files. It is reliably stated that the air of Front street, for nearly its whole length was blue with profanity for a full hour after the file and its accompanying request wap received.

MONDAY. . Corn 31 cents. Oats 22 to 26 cents. Wheat 60 cents. I Reese Goddard is on the sick list. Frank Foltz went to Lafayette this morning on business. Dr. Chas. Vick made a business trip to Goodland and Kentland to day. Mrs. James Robinson, of Jordan Tp. f is reported very low with tumors. Born this, Monday morning, Jan. 30, to Mr. and Mrs. William Mackey, in the east part of town, a son. Mr. aud Mrs. Jessa Nowels, pouthwest of town, are both reported as down with hard cases of the grip. Mrs. Geo.

They had better get together and agree on a fair and uuiform price for the work. Mrs. C. G. Daly died Saturday night at Sharon, of consumption, after a long sickness, and after being confined to her bed over six months. She leaves three young children, aged 2, 4 and 6 years, respectively. The remains have been taken back to Waverly, Ohio, her former home, for interment.

It was demonstrated Saturday and Sunday and today, that the present winter has considerable backbone left after all. Saturday night, for instance, was far the coldest of the winter so far; and S'uudi.y morning the mercury at twelve to fourteen degrees below zero, depending on the location and also on the variations of different thermometers. This morning it was just about at zero. Mrs. Della Cotton Thompson, who has been here for several weeks attending the last sickness of her father, returned home to Chicago, Saturday evening. She was accompanied by her sister, Miss Arilla Cotton, who will make her home with Mrs. Thompson in the future. Another sister, Mrs. Minnie Plummer,'of White county also returned home, Saturday. Billy Frey, who has been working in Strick’s saloon quite a long time, thumped one Alfred or “Whisky” Anderson, Saturday afternoon, and Squire Burnham assessed a fine of 25 cts and costs, or $9.35 in all. It seems that Frey has been bribing Anderson with liberal drinks of Strick’s whisky, to help clean the saloon mornings, and Anderson got mad at Frey aud told Strick about it, and Frey was discharged, and Anderson’s thumping came in as a side-issue in the way of getting even. The post-office matter in Rensselaer Is still attracting considerable attention. It is reliably stated that Congressman Crumpacker made his recommendation of Mr. Meyer, last Monday, Jan. 23rd, but up to the present time the President has not acted on the recommendation, so far as sending in Mr. Meyer’s name to the Senate for confirmation. It is understood that various protests and counter petitions have been the cause for the delay in making the appointment. Dr. I. B. Washburn tests eyes for glasses by the latest methods.

When moat needed it is not unusual for your family physician to be away from home. Such was the experience of Mr. J. Y. Schenck, editor of the Caddo, Ind. Ter., Banner, when his little girl, two years of age was threatened with a severe attack of oroup. He says: “My wife insisted that 1 go for the doctor, but as our family physician was out of town I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough which relieved her immediately. I will be without it in the future.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer. • ‘ , • Farm Loans. We are making a specialty of farm loans in Jasper and adjoining counties.
