His brother Chris Amsler, of Fairbury, 111., was also here for several days and may also purchase land and locate here. He returned home this morning. The Tharp Bros., foAierly of Rensselaer have just sold the Monticello eleotric light plant in Monticello, which they have owned for some years, to Barnes and Harris, the former of near Monon and the latter of Antwerp Ohio. The prioe was $12500 including 160 acres of land north of Monon. (jhen Tharp will remain in their service permanently and Fred for a time, at least. John Sch cfield’s two little girls bertha and Bessie, arrived from Kansas City., Mo., last evening and today have gone to Monon with their mother, with whom they will reside. Their father recently had his right arm badly crushed in a Kansas City machine shop, in which he was working. He is in a hospital and about to have the arm amputated on account of bloodpoisoning. Down atCrawfordsville the Elks, by way of a special attraction for their coming street carnival are offering as prizes to any young couple who will be publicly married on the grand stand, about everything in the housekeeping line except a pair of twins, and the Monon road now supplements the prizes by an offer of a free round trip to Chioago to the bridal couple.

The whole quarry force at the Hely stone crusher, at Monon, went out on a strike a few days ago. The men claimed that they had been working 10| hours a day, and they struck for 10. The whistle had been sounding at 15 minutes before 7 in the morning and before one in the afternoon. The other morning when Mr. Hely was at Louisville, the men all refused to start in until 7 o’clock and the foreman told them to quit, and notified Hely. He gathered up a cargo of negroes at Louisville and brought them up and put them in the places of the strikers. An exohange says: “The shirt waist man and the net waist girl go hand in hand today, and the people year after year keeping throwing their clothes away. The coat and vest are laid to rest, and where is the fleecy shavil? And clothes get fewer and thinnerwhat will be the end of it all? Oh, what will the shirt waist man take next from the things he has wear? And what will the net waist girl throw off from the shoulders now half bare? The shirt waist man and the net waist girl go rollicking down the way. Have we started a trend that’s going to end in the old fig leaf, some day? Today at Cedar Lake occurs the annual picnio of Chicago Odd Fellows, or rather Cook county Odd Fellows. The list of prizes offered fill eight pages in a good sized pamphlet. Prizes .are offered for all sorts of games and foot races, oldest members, tallest members, the biggest fidi, best climber and about everything else. A party of five distinguished Odd Fellows came from Chicago Friday evening, on the milk train and met here A. C, Cable of Ohio, the Grand43ireof the Odd Fellows of the world, who was on the 6.32 train from the east. Those who came to meet him were Col. E. M. Corinin, vice-president of the pionio association, D. H. Chapman, chairman of the executive committee, Mrs. Effie A. Glazier, past president of Illinois Rebekahs, Mrs. M. J.
