The Rensselaer steam laundry is moving its works today, into its own new building near the old creamery building. Edward T.

The 8 days old child of Alfred Anderson, living near the railroad, died last night at 8:30 o’clock. The funeral was held at three, this afternoon. A little daughter of C. G. Spitler fell and bruised her face quite badly, this afternoon, while hurrying to get off the track from an approaching train. Her injuries are not serious. Judson J. Hunt has been appointed administrator of the estate of the late Jonathan Peacock, to succeed Dr. M. B. Alter, deceased. The bond required of Mr. Hunt was for SIO,OOO. Bev. F. M. Watkins, lately of Warren, 111., has accepted a call to become the settled pastor of the Free Will church here. He has arrived here and expects his family by tomorrow. He will preach at the church Sunday evening. Louis Hopkins, of Chicago, is visiting his Rensselaer relatives today. “Bee” is as busy as a bee, these days, preparing for an important and very auspicious event down at Danville, 111., next Wednesday, in which he will take a leading part. Rev. W. H. Applegate, a Christian minister who has been resid-

Be Careful f. No woman can be too careful of her condition during the period before her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endangers'her life and that of the’child. It es with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. * MOTHER'S FRIEND is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside. External applications are eternally right. Internal medicines are radically wrong. They are more than humbugs —they endanger life. Mother’s Friend helps the muscles to relax and expand naturally—relieves morning sickness—removes the cause of nervousness and headache —prevents hard and rising breasts—shortens labor and lessens the pains—and helps the patient to rapid recovery. . From a letter by a Shreveport, La., woman: “I have been using your wonderful remedy. Mother’s Friend, for the last two months, and find it just as recommended." DruczUtaaen It at St per bottle. THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO. ATLANTA. GA.

ing here for some months, has accepted a call to become the pastor of a congregation at McComb, Ohio., He will remove there at once.

• The suit of Mrs. John M. Ott, against the town of Remington, for damages for injuries received by a fall on an alleged defective sidewalk, has been dismissed at the plaintiff’s motion, “without prejudice.” It is thought in some quarters that it is intended to recommence the suit, and in such a way as to have the. benefits of certain new laws which apply to suits of this kind and which are more favorable to the plaintiffs than the former law. The Milk train is now carrying mail both ways, every day but Sunday, Elmer Wilcox, the mail clerk on that train, is not yet in danger of nervous prostration from over-work, put he sends in a pretty good bunch of letter mail every run. It probably is much more important proportionately, to the smaller towns along the line. In one respect the milk train mail will take the lead of any other train through Rensselaer, and that is in taking out the paper mail produced here. In fact it is already evident that the great bulk of Rensselaer papers sent to other towns in .this and other counties will hereafter go out on the milk train.

SATURDAY. Frank Foltz is at San Pierre on business today. Miss Lily Peregrine returned to Dunnville today. Charley Sigler, of Hebron, is visiting Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Goff. Mel Laßue came home today from a business trip to Pontiac, 111.

Miss Effie Miller, of Chicago, is spending a few days here the guest of Miss Gertrude Hopkins. C. C. Brown, now of Pulaski county is here visiting his mother, Mrs. A. E. Brown, for a day or two. Homer Kessler Asst. Gen. Agt., for the Union Central Life Insurance Co., was here on business today. ' Mrs. Chas. Watson and children joined her husband at Danville, 111., today where they will make their future residence. D. J. Thompson has returned from his winter’s stay in Florida, and reports that the weather he left there was much like that he found here. Mrs. Hattie Burton started yesterday evening to her home at Denver, Colo., after a two weeks’ visit with her father, Rev. D. J. Quston, southeast of town. Mrs. Leota Jones went to Indianapolis this afternoon where she will consult her brother-in-law. Dr. Barnes, an eminent physician in regard to her health and then go on to Greenfield for a few days’ visit with friends. Capt. G. W. Payne is in town today looking up some business matters, being his first visit since his return from Florida. As before stated the Capt. has bought property and is building a residence in Monticello. Delphi, according to the Herald is to have a “Board of Trade” in a few days, where as the Herald says, people can speculate on margins. If the Herald will call it a “Bucket-Shop,” whete suckers can get relieved of their cash, it will be much nearer the truth. A big string of Gipsy wagons went through town this afternoon, and are probably camped west of town. They claim to be working towards Chicago were a big meeting of Gipsies from all over the country is to be held in a few weeks. Dr. J. A. Lovett, of Goodland, has been appointed to an import-

says be will, remove to Washington with his family, at t an early day. The appointment is all right. Judge Thompson has named, as the appointive members of the board of tax reviewers, W. O. Roadifer, of Remington, and S. D. Clark, of Wheatfield township, both very satisfactory appointments. They are divided in politics, Mr. Roadifer being a Republican and Mr. Clark a Democrat. An interesting feature of Uncle Isaac Sayler’s 90th birthday, of last Tuesday, and not before noted, was the taking of a picture in which four generations were represented. Uncle Isaac himself, his daughter Mrs. Julia Daugherty, his granddaughter Mrs. Bertie Thornton and great-granddaughter Lona Thornton.

Dr. Johnson now holds the county record for 8 new girls in 24 hours. He reports: Born, Friday April 21st at noon, to Mr. find Mrs. Chris. Westfall, southeast of town a daughter, Bom Saturday, Apr. 22, at 2 a. m , to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Arnott, of Sharon, a daughter. Born, Saturday Apr. 22, at 11 a. m., to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Osborn, at the residence of Fred Hartman, in town, a daughter.

It is now evidently a settled fact that Speaker Reed will retire from Congress and from political life generally to engage in the practice of law. It is also quite generally conceded that the speakership will now come to a western congressman, and A. J. Hopkins, of Illinois is most prominently mentioned. He is in every way well qualified for the place, and will be eminently satisfactory to Indiana people. The fact that any one play would draw three crowded houses in a town the size of Rensselaer speaks well for the popularity of the play and the ability off the company. Last night the Alexander Leonard Company presented “The Flying Squadron” for the third time in our city to a big house. -The cast is taken from incidents in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and is full of thrilling events, from the sinking of the Maine to the destruction of Cevera’s fleet at Santiago. The company will close the week’s engagement tonight with “Camille,” and will go from here to Hammond.

We,... t Do you take cold with every change in the weather? Does your throat feel raw? And do sharp pains dart through your chest? Don’t you know these are danger signals which point to pneumonia, bronchitis, or consumption Itself ? ' if you are ailing and have lost flesh lately, they are certainly danger signals. The question for you to decide is, “Have I the vitality to throw off these diseases?”* Don’t wait to try SCOTT’S EMULSION “as a last resort.” There is no remedy equal to it for fortifying the system. Prevention is easy. Scott’s Emulsion prevents consumption and hosts of other diseases which cttack the weak and those with poor blood. SCOTT’S' EMULSION is the one standard remedy for inflamed throats and lungs, * for colds, bronchitis and consumption. It is a food medicine of remarkable power. A food, because it nourishes the 4 body; and a medicine; bei cause it corrects d hummed conditions. - York 1 • ■ ’

Thoe. Boyle, the saw mill man is in town today. The recent burning of his mill at Smith’s Valley, Johnson county, was about ■ 7:30 in the evening, a half an hour after the men had gone away, and was supposed to have been caused by a spark from the engine. The loss was |4OO and no insurance. Mr. Boyle went to Indianapolis the next day after a new mill, and now has it set up and in operation. Reed Banta, of this vicinity, who is now managing the Smith’s Valley mill is going to change places with the manager of Mr. Boyles’ other mill, at Sheldon, 111.

MONDAY. Rye 40 cents. Corn 30 cents. Oats 24|-26| cents Wheat 60—65 cents. Will Paxton, of Hammond, spent Sunday here. Walter Imes, of Hammond, visited here on Sunday.

Ed Warren has gone to Chicago on business connected With the Keener gravel roads.

Miss Sadie Ellis returned to her home yesterday after a visit here with her brother J. H. S. Ellis. The Monticello people are now expected to have their big time in honor of Company I, of the 161st. regiment, on Wednesday, May 3rd. The family of Rev. Watkins, the new Free Will minister arrived Saturday evening. They will occupy Mr. Kennedy’s house, on Clark street. Rev. N. H. Sheppard has gone to Walkeiton today, to attend the funeral of a sister of his first wife, Miss Josie Robbins, whose death occured Sunday. Rev. H. M. Middleton administered the rite of baptism to 14 candidates, Sunday; ten by sprinkling at the church, and four by immersion in the - river. An entirely unfounded report is in circulation that a certain Rensselaer girl had gone away with a member of the Leonard theater company. There is no truth in it.

Geo. Freshour and J. T. Faris, of Gillam, together with a brother of the latter, F. J. Faris, of Concordia, Kansas, were in town today. They report oat sowing in Gillam as about finished.

The Monon Route people are working on a new time card which will probably go into effect next Sunday. What the changes will be and how they will affect Rensselaer can not yet be learned.

Rev. A. M. Craven, D. D., the India Missionary, gave an interesting lecture at the M. E. church Saturday evening. The attendance was much less than it should have been. The doctor preached an able sermon at the church Sunday morning. J. C. Williams, a photographer formerly located here, but who has been established at Warsaw, this state, for a number of years past, died there about two weeks ago. We have received no particulars of his death, further than that “heart failure” was assigned as the cause. The county jailTinow empty of prisoners for 4ne firat time since Mr. Reed has been sheriff, a period of over two years. The last two prisoners went out today. One was Stephen H. Powell, of Newton ceuufy, who has served a three months sentence and SIOO fine, or about 180 days in all. The other was Dog-tax Turner, of Nubbin Ridge, who has been in 11 days. A horse belonging to Mrs. lek Yates, of Pleasant Ridge, ran away yesterday, afternoon, in the west part of town, and finally badly wrecked the buggy it was hitched to, by running into some trees, in Benjamin & Magee’s addition. The harness was also badly used op, bat the bores was not

hurt. The horse got frightened at a children’s swing and broke loose from wßere it was tied . The recent death of Mrs. Florence Sayler, was the fourth of Mrs. Mattie Bowman’s children to die with consumption. Of her four remaining children, two, a son and a daughter are at home and are both in very poor health. Another, a daughter, who is in Kansas, is very sick. The other, Sanford, now in Colorado, has recovered a reasonable degree of health since he went to that state. Preliminary field day exercises will be, held at the Stock Farm next Thusrday at 4 o’clock. The High School boys are preparing for the contest next month for the medals of the Northwestern Indiana Athletic Association. They will be assisted by some of the best athletes of town. There are 14 events, including foot races, bicycle races, pole vaulting etc. 10 cents admission.

The Alexander Leonard Company completed their weeks engagement here Saturday night, with a very creditable production of the classic drama, Camille. The company is a large one, consisting of 14 members, and is also a good one, being probably, taking them clear through as good a repertoire company as ever filled an engagement in our city. Personally they seemed to be entirely honorable and estimable people. Financially their engagement here came as near being a success as anything in the theatre line short or an uncle Tom’s Cabin or patent medicine combination could be expected to achieve.
