WEDNESDAY LOCALS

J. A. Hamilton, of Goodland, president of the local company of the Chicago «&: Toledo Transfer R. R., und brother of R, A. Hamilton. the engineer, arrived here today, to look after the interests of the company. He reports things moving along in good shape, and that two surveying corps are now on the line. One between Angola and Toledo, the other between Rochester and Wprsaw. A marrying epidemic seems to have struck the distinguished old soldiers lately and the peculiarity of the epidemic is that those afflicted with it marry women very much younger.than themselves. The latest victims are Major John B. Glover and ex-Governor Will Cumback, and now it is reported that Milton Garrigus, commander of the Indiana G. A. about to marry a girl 19 years old. He is 72. In accordance with Mrs. Lizzie Hitchcock's wishes her little boy, Frank, now wholly an orphan, is given to her sister, Mrs. Minnie Alvey, of St. John’s, Ky., and is there assured of a good home. She will take the little fellow with her, when she goes home. He has long been Grand-father Bedford’s inseperable companion and his departure will be a hard blow to him*

Mrs. Mary E. Swain, of Richmond, state president of the Woman’s Relief Corps, has just issued a complete roster of the department and in this connection announces the list of vice presidents. Mrs. Viola Thornton, of Rensselaer, is named vice president for this district. The appointment of Mrs. Mary E. Watson, as patriotic instructor, hae already been mentioned. Charles Downing, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, has written that the premium list of the State Fair, Sept, 16-21, 1901, just published and distributed, has attracted more attention and aroused more favorable comment than any similar list ever promulgated by the agricultural board. “People who are familiar with premium lists,” he said, “have told me that our list is the most attractive that has] been put forth by any fair association this year,” Tuesday’s Lafayette Evening Call presented a fine portrait of Hon. E. P. Hammond, formerly of Rensselaer. The Call states that Col. Hammond would have been an applicant for the place of U. S. district judge had Judge Baker, the present incumbent been appointed to succeed Jhe late Judge Woods, on the court of appeals. Judge Baker will retire in a year or so, on acoonnt of passing the age limit, at which time, if Col Hammond is a candidate be will stand an excellent chance of success.

W. H. Eger, the hardware merchant, is not any longer going to permit his brother, the Mayor to monopolize the queer pets in the family as well as all the political honors. Will now owns a talented young parrot, and which though not quite so well educated as his brother’s ancient bird, is much better tempered, and tractable and easy to learn. He got it from St. Joseph’s College, where its talents for whistling and other loud noises had proved to be a hindrance to he work of the college.

Mrs. Hugh Gaffey, of Barkley tp„ is quite dangerously sick. Dr. I. B. Washburn made a.professional trip to North Judson, yesterday. Mrs. James Jordan, who has been quite sick for some time with enteritis, is slowly improving.

Mrs. Fred Grischow, of Michigan City, is visiting her old friends, Superintendent Clark and wife, at the.county asylum, for about two weeks. Mrs. G. W.

Ferguson was the lucky man that negotiated the sale of Uncle Joe Parkinson’s farnu, at peasant Ridge, to Mr. Gardner, of Harvey, 111. The old post-office building got up a great spurt of speed after it got on to Cullen street, and was hull down on the horizon yesterday afternoon, and now has entirely disappeared from view. The recent near proximity of rain storms seem to have mitigated the heat today, to some extent. Still it is above 90 in the shade, and that is hot weather, the best you can make of it. Walter and June Waldorf, of Chicago, are visiting their aunt, Mrs. G. K. Hollingsworth. Miss June, though only 12 years old, is an accomplished pianist, and plays the most difficult compositions with ease.

Mrs. Eliza Rock, of Toledo, Ohio, arrived yesterday afternoon, to visit her daughter, Mrs. W. R. Nowels. She is 82 years old, but stood the trip very well, considering her age and the heat of the weather. The big steam roller is now at work on that portion of the street improvement on Cullen street south of Harrison. Sayler & Company, the contractors, are pushing all their different pieces of street work here right along. Mrs. F. B. Meyer returned to Water Valley today, to join Mrs. Nate Reed, now of Michigan City, in a camping sojourn. The Reeds are about to move from Michigan City into some point in Illinois. Mr. Reed is engaged as a land agent now. Summer showers are again becoming frequent. This plaoe had a light shower last night and some miles northeast in Barkley, there was a regular soaker. Some miles east also they had a good shower yesterday afternoon. James Chapman cf Milroy tp., is doing some tall talking about some tall wheat he raised this year. He got the seed from Canada, and says some of the stalks were five feet high, with heads large in proportion. He thinks it will thresh 50 bushels to the acre.

Ike Glazebrook’s building, on Front street, formerly occupied by the Rensselaer Laundry, is being fitted up for the new cigar factory, and Mr. Hopkins, the manager, will go to Chicago tomorrow to buy the stock. Hence it is evident that the factory will very soon be in operation. Capt. E. Ross Smith, 22, of the 159th Indiana during the Spanish war, and captain in the 30th in the Philippines, was granted a divorce in Washington Saturday on his complaint that his wife, whom he married two weeks before his departure fer Manila, grew indifferent during his absence. He was tbe youngest captain in the army. Elder A. E. Pierson, now of Rome City, spent last night in Rensselaer and is now visiting in the vicinity of his old home, at Parr. He has been in very poor health lately, being afflicted with the dropsy, and is just out of a hospital at Fort Wayne, and expectsto return there for further treatmentThe Lowell Tribune says Col.

Gifford has been there in the interests of his road, this week, and that all he asks of Lowell is the right of way. The Tribune says, very rightly, that Lowdl people will make a great mistake if they let the road pass by on either side when it is to be had on such easy terms. And indeed they will make a most tremendous mistake. Cocoanut taffy, newsboy lemon gems, iced Homestead cookies, lemon cream biscuit, fig-bar, chocoate creams are all fresh at Starrs Gollmar Bros. & Schuman’s 2 big shows united will give an exhibition here July 29.
