CITY NEWS.

TUESDAY. J. H. O’Neall waßh*down from Chicago and spent Sunday his wife. . The funeral services of Marion Li. Spitler, will be under the direction of Rensselaer Post, G. A. R. Mr. and Mrs. William Cornell, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who had been visiting Mr. and Mrs. W» H. Eger, returned home Saturday. K. A. Parker, who was attending the Chicago School of Pharmacy, has abandoned the idea of being a druggist, and has returned to the Parker farm northeast of town. Dr Cragen, manager of the Rush Medics telephoned down this morning that the Rushers would be here tomorrow, without fail. They will come on the 10:55 a. m. train. Uncle Abe Leopold was at cott yesterday and reports that drilling operations for gas or oil began there that day. The cost of* the operation is met by popular subscription. JakeHeinzmann, of the Noblesville building firm of Heinzmann Bros, was in town Sunday. His firm is building Monon’s big new school house, and have the walls up to the second storv. ■ . i Rev. V. O. Fritts, the retiring pastor of the Missionary Baptist church, left for Dunkirk, the new field of his labors, today. His family, left last night, but will stop at Rossville, for a few days’ visit.

Mr. and Mrs.T. J. Sears, now of Indianapolis, are visiting relatives way down in the original home of the yankees, Connecticut. They had been at East Hampton but were going to Portland where they are likely to spend a month. Evidently Admiral Dewey made as bad a break when he surrendered on sight at the demand of the gay widow Hazen, as the Delphi Journal suggested. He has just deeded to her the borne in Washington which was presented to him by the American people, by a general subscription. The act is a hard blow at his own present personal popularity, but it can not affect his permanent fame. The deaths of Marion L. Spitler and Mrs. James A. Burnham on the same day was a very notable coincidence as the two persons, Mrs. Spitler and Cap. Burnham thus bereaved of their companions are brother and sister. That both should have been sick so long and with the maladies of the same bodily organ?, and should both depart on the same day, is a very remarkable circumstance. A big game of foot ball will take place here tomorrow. The club that is coming has the best reputation as hard and scientific players of any that have been here this year. They play with big college teams, and have even beaten the Northwestern University team which itself beat the redoubable I. U’s. last Saturday. It may well be that our boys will earn their victory before they get it. Moveover our boys are true sportsmen and know how to give and take, and if they lose will lose like men. Their victories have been many and their defeats have been * few, but all have been taken in the right spirit p and any statements that friends or members of the defeated teams have made to the contrary/ are simply slanders. Regarding the conduct of our foot ball attendants, the supporters or rooters as they are sometimes, called, there have been grounds for criticism. But there is nothing which the members of the team themselves nor the great majority of their friends are more opposed to than any rudeness or ’■ discourtesy towards visiting teams. Det us have no more of it, neither at tomorrow’s game, nor at any future game. And if the three or four chief offenders in this respect -

can not control their enthusiasm they should be invited to view the game from the safe distance of a neighboring treetop. WEDNESDAY. Mrs. Green, of Tipton, is visit, ing in the families of her relatives Mrs. J. C. Porter and Mrs. J. T. Irwin. W. W. Watson, of Lima, Ohio, the U. 8. pension agent, is here for a few days’ visit with his relatives. Elder A. H. Zilmer will begin his pastoral work at the church of God next Sunday morning. He will arrive from Plymouth Thursday morning. Ex-Prosecuting Attorney. A, E. Chizum and wife, of Morroco, have met with the great affliction of the death of their ten year old son, Harley. It resulted from scarlet fever. S. O. Duvall and son John went yesterday to Chicago, where the former will spend several months with his daughter. John will re-., main only a few days. It is understood that he is investigating an outfit for the new livery outfit himself and brother intend to purchase. There will be a ‘ Hard Times Social” at Surrey school house Tuesday evening, Nov. 28, ’99 A good “Hard Time Supper” will be served and prises will be awarded to the most oddly dressed lady and gentleman. Proceed to go towards buying decorations for school room. Everybody come dressed for the occassion and Aavq a good time. Robert Hopkins, Teacher. Rev. G. W. Carnes, pastor of Rose Bud and Egypt M.. churches, came home today from a two weeks absence in Wells county. His wife, who had been there several weeks longer, returned as far as Monon, where she stopped to visit friends. They were called to Wells county by the sickness and death of Mrs. Carnes’ father J. S. Grove. Mr. Carnes will resume his pastoral work at once and hold services at Rose Bud next Sunday, both morning and evening. B. S. Fendig is loading a car with dressed turkeys for shipment for the eastern market. It will take 2000 birds to fill the car. Jake McDonald is also dressing and loading turks for the Thanksgiving trade. The present brand of weather is discouraging to our poultry men, and they are not exerting themselves to make as big shipments as on some past Thanksgivings. The weather and too great a supply of turkeys has also kept the price of turkeys at too low a figure. The experimental well recently completed on the Sam Dobbins farm, in White county, north of Wolcott and very near the JAsper county line, proved fruitless, though both oil and gas in very small quantities were found. The well was put down to a great depth, 34 days having been spent in drilling it. One of the numerous companies that have been taking oil leases, in this region, bored the well. What was to have, been expected is now happening, the people and papers which lately were the most inordinate in their hero-wor-ship of Admiral Dewey, are the ones which are now, the most inordinate in criticising him for his precipitate marriage and more precipitate transfer of his handsome new house to his fat and handsome new wife. Well, the admiral has showed a very conspicuous lack of judgment in this latter transaction, to say the least, but plenty of great men have made much worse breaks than that in their love affairs and no one now considers them the less great on that account. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H. Graham departed for Winipeg, Manitoba, yesterday afternoon, after a few days’ visit with friends in this their former home. Mr. Graham is fairly well satisfied with his place as U. 8. consul at Winipeg. The duties of the office, though exacting and responsible are not

excessively onerous; and it is a position that is usually retained by efficient incumbents as long as they wish to retain it. They find the climate of this far northern region to be quite pleasant, on the whole, in spite of its long and very*cold winters, and so far, it has proved to them very agreeable to their health. Joe Hordeman, now in Uncle Sam’s army in the Phillipines, has sent to his relatives just west of town, a large collection of interesting relics from that region, which are now on exhibition in Fendig’s drug store window. There are a large number of photographs in the collections several fine specimens of wood carving by natives of the islands, including an excellent Madonna and child, and a full length figure represents the redoubtable and elusive “Aggie” himself. There are also specimens of rifle and rapid fire bullets, Chinese money, a pair of ladies wooden soled slippers that Joe must have wheedled from some fair Filopeno inamorata, and variousother articles and trinkets. Dr. Ira Washburn came down with his fellow Rushersjtoday, for the foot ball game. He is a footballist himself of ancient and eminent lineage, but will have no part in today’s game, and will distribute his yells with exact impartially between his college and his home teams. Doc Ira’s army chum Dr. Ramsdell, came down Also. Col. and Mrs. E. P. Hammond and son E. P. Hammond Jr., of Lafayette, Mr. and Mrs. Reete Swain, of Morocco, Mr. and Mrs. F. B, Learning, of Goshen, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Spitler, of Brook, Mrs, M amie C. Teter, of Colorado, Mrs. Etta E. Baker, of Chicago, Mann Spitler of Thayer, were relatives from elsewhere who attended the M. L. Spitler funeral, this forenoon.

THURSDAY. There is to be a Demorest Medal contest at Mt. Ayr, Saturday evening. The Daughters of the American Revolution will meet Saturday, Nov. 25th, at 2:30 at the home of Mrs. C- W. Coen. Special business will come ‘before the Uniform Rank, K. of P. at a special meeting Friday night. A full attendance, is desired. Mrs. Carrie H. Johnson returned home to Indianapolis, today, after a ten days’ visit with Mrs. M. D. Chipman and other relatives. The ladies of the Christian church will hold their Thanksgiving market, heretofore advertised, next Wednesday, in Clark’s jewelry store. The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows is in session at Indianapolis, this week. J. M. McDonald represents the Subordinate lodge here, and S. C. Irwin and E. M. Parcells represent the Encampment. L. D. Marion’s public sale, Tues* day, east of town, had a good attendance and plenty of ready and nervy bidders, and everything offered went at good price. The Indianapolis Press, which was to have begun publication this week, has been delayed by the failure of contractors to complete its equipment and will not appear until about Dec. Ist. Geo. Cooper, and Simon Hohenstein, of Mokena, 111., are in town today. They have been making some extended purchases of land in Kankakee township, and are here on business connected with that transaction. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin E. Faris, from east of town, left for Kansas, Tuesday, to visit relatives. Miss Minnie Dutm and a neice of Mrs. Wm. Warren and Mrs. Bruce White, who had been visiting here a long time, and whose home is in Kansas accompanied them to that state. Will Wood worth got a pretty hard bump, Tuesday night, by a fall from a telephone pole, near Monon. No bones were broken but internal injures were feared at

first. He is doing very well however,'and proves not to be seriously hurt. He fell a long distance but luckily atruck'in a soft place. Chief Engineer Hall, of the Monon died yesterday morning at 8 o’clock at his home in Chicago, after a sickness of several weeks. Mr. Hall has been with the Monon Railway Co. for more than twentyfive years. He was well known in Rensselaer and has a number of close friends here who will learn With regret of his death. Marshal McGowan’s cane was Swiped the other day, from where he left it in the street, near the Makeever House. The marshal says if the finder will bring it back he will “give it to him” as a reward. He did not say which end he would give it to him with nor on, and perhaps for that reason it might be prudent for the present holder to negotiate the return by telephone. That . estimable and popular couple, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Duvall were married twenty-five years ago yesterday, though no one would suspect it from their youthful and well preserved appearance. Though they themselves were willing to allow the interesting anniversary pass without any special observance but some of their numerous friends were not, and in the evening a goodly company of their lady friends gave them a surprise party, and at which quite a number of the surprisers came in masks. The affair was well conceived and very pleasantly carried out. Mrs. Wm. Norris and family desires to express their sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors and especially to members of the Masonic and W, R. 0. orders for their late bereavement. Mbs. Wm. Norris and Family. Will Paxton, of Hammond, is intending to do some extensive traveling during the next six or months. He will go to Cuba in a few weeks and remain there about two months. Then on his return from Cuba, he will go to Europe for about a six months stay. He is going for a pleasure and rest mainly, but in Europe he will take occasion to perfect his knowlege of the German language, in the use of which he is already quite fluent. His brother John W. Paxton, of this place, is thinking strongly of making the Cuban part of the trip, also, but not tljp European. L. D. Marion whose public sale took place Tuesday, and who sold his farm previous to that time, intends soon to go to Fowler for a protracted stay with his daughter, Mrs. Martin Cook. Mr. Marion, by-the-way, is among the very oldest as also one of the most appreciative of The Republican’s subscribers. He not only has taken the paper continuously ever since it went by the name it now has, but also took its predecessors, the Rensselaer Union and the Jasper Republican. For more than thirty years the paper has gone to him constantly. Washing and ironing wanted, at home, by Mrs. Mary Richards. Satisfaction guaranteed.
