People who have read the justly celebrated Hicks weather predictions, and have meted out their wrath upon the head of the forecaster when his predictions failed to pan out, have no doubt not been aware of the fact that the object of their maledictions, Rev. Irl Hicks, was a dead man. Mr. Hicks, is is very much a dead man. He has been in that condition for ten years, so that there can now be no doubt as to the sincerity of his olaim that he is dead. The forecasting foundry, however, did not shut down upon the demise of the founder. His mantle of prophecy fell upon the shoulders of Irl’s brother-in-law, who for the last ten years has been telling the people to look out for hot weather in the summer, and to prepare for snow and chilblains in the winter. — North Jud6on News,

W. W. Wishard has just sod his farm in Jackson Tp., Newton Co., to John Hanes, of Broolf, It contains 1(H) acres and the price is, $12,000, which is $75 per acre. It is the highest price a farm cf its size ever sold for in that township. Jack Essen, of Brook, worked up the deal, Members of the endowment rank Knights of Pythias, are watching with great interest the up-heaval in the affaire of the insurance branch of the order. Those carrying policies in the rank are worried whether they will have to stand a big assestment or if the rates will be permanently raised. Comrade S. E. Yeoman is among those whose name will be in the hat when the great shake-up occurs the 6th of August, in Oklahoma. He has forwarded the proper papers, to have hiß claim filed to his son-in-law M. E.. Spitler, at Oklahoma City. Hebron News: —Lowell is trying to get the Gifford railroad located there. Grading has been done north of the river near the range line road southwest of Hebron and the route was expected to be laid out toward Cedar Lake, but the course may be changed. Hebron should have had Jhat road. The firm of Wallace Bros. Co., of Lafayette, has now begun work on installing the steam heating plant for the two sohool houses. The contract price is $4,500. This and the improvement made in the specifications makes quite a reduction over the terms offered by the Chicago firm.

Rensselaer is to have another circus after all these years. It is the Gollman Bros. & Schumans combined shows, and is to be here on July 29th. It is a wagon show but said to be a good one. The advance agent, Fred H. Seymour, was here today, arranging the preliminaries, such as billing privileges, newspaper ads, etc. Indiana now has but two living ex-lieu t-governors Will Cumback, of Greensburg, and W. S. Haggard, whose term expired with that of Gov. Mount. There are no living ex-governors. State Senator L. P. Newby served as lieutenant governor when Lieut. Gov. Chase took the governor’s ohair upon the death of Gov. Hovey.

The incorrigible inmates of the Indiana Reform School for boys at Plainfield are to be transferred to the Indiana Reformatory. The matter was explained to Gov. Durbin and be has approved the plan. Some of the hoys have been at the school two or three times. Their influence is regarded as detrimental to the younger inmates. The boys to be Bent to Jeffersonville range from sixteen to twenty years of age. At present there are 571 inmates of the school, and at least fifty will be taken to the Reformatory. R. W. Spriggs, otherwise Charley, and hiß son Sammy arrived home yesterday afternoon, from a week's stay at Whitehall, Mich. Spriggs and his little Sprig fished some, while there, as anyone, who knows them might have known they would, and they brought back a 9£ pound pickeral, as a specimen of their captures, just to piake fishing cranks around town envious. They report that .one man hooked and huDg onto a 27 pound muskalouge, during their stay there. A muskalonge is a good deal like a pickeral in build, and it. is like breaking a bucking broncho from the Bad-Lands to handle a big one. The removal of the speaking stand nud seats from the center of Weston cemetery has enabled the cemetery trustees to lay out eleven new and very desirable cemetery lota. These have all been sold at SIOO each, or five times the price of ordinary lots. The money realized from their sale goes into the general cemetery fund. The trustees have in contemplation the erection of a “tabernacle” in a

portion of a vacant ground in the front of the cemetery, for public meetings, funerals etc. In case it is not decided to erect the tabernacle in the early future, a temp orary meeting place may be arranged in a shady place in the lately purchased addition on the west side of the cemetery.

Freshour, of Gillam tp., has been very sick for two weeks past, according to the Medsryville Advertiser, and although somewhat better is not yet out of danger. Four freight cars jumped the track at a switch frog, a little east of the depot yesterday, and caused considerable trouble and delay in getting them back and straightening the trackA remonstrance to the proposed saloon near the depot is already being circulated. Any applicant for a saloon license in the third ward is likely to run up against a successful remonstrance.

E. L. Hollingsworth returned this morning from a week’s sojourn at Charlevoix, Mich., where his family is passing the summer. As always, he returns enthusiastic in his praises of Charlevoix as a place of residence. Mrs. Mary E.

During Mrs. Thomas Willey'6 funeral this morning, Mrs. George Sigler of Mt. Ayr was overcome by the heat, at the cemetery and had to have the care of a physician. A little earlier at the church, Mrs. Abel Grant nearly fainted from the heat, and had to be assisted out of the building. The old ship De Kight is now fairly underway for her permanent moorings near the depot. She safely rounded the first stake buoy at Makeever House lightship, at 3 p. m., and turned into Cullen street. She still shows a great list to port and nothing but the constant vigilance of her sailing master prevents her going over on her. beam ends W 7 ord comes from “up the line” that Col. Gifford is crowding the work on the northern extension of the Chicago & Wabash Valley R, R. to beat the band. The people of Lowell are very anxious to get the road to hit their town knowing a good thing when they see it, and recently sen fa company of business men over the completed portion of the road. Mr. Gifford’s original intention was to hit Cedar Lake on the east side, leaving Lowell several miles to the west.

The excursion to Michigan City was a record breaker for Sunday excursions from Rensselaer, for recent years at least, if not for all past time. There were 825 tickets sold here, and 4 or § got on who had no time to buy tickets. There were also quite a number of kid 6 and kidiets in the crowd, thus raising the total to 350 to 400 people. Those from here made a good sized excursion in themselves, filling 5 cars to their full seating capacity. The return train got back about 10:30 p. m. Gollmar Bros. & Schumans arrived here Saturday. There was one thing about the company that was commented upon everywhere and that was the absence of profanity and roughness on the part of employes. Neither was there the usual misrepresentation. Ev-' eryone from manager down was gentlemanly and oourteous. Gollmar & Schumans have nothing connected with their entertainment or company that the most particular can take offense at.— Fayette Co. Union, West Union, lowa. At Rensselaer July 29. Governor W. T. Durbin, last week appointed Hoh. W. S. Haggard, of Lafayette, a trustee of the Indiana soldiers’ home to fill the vacancy created by the death of Colonel John Levering.
