The amount of freight now being handled by the Monon is unprecedented. The engineers and fireman are complaining of not getting a sufficient rest between trips. - The company has fourteen extra engineers and seventeen firemen on the extra board.

McCoy, Granville Moody and Addison Parkison went to Chicago this morning with the intention of buying several car loads of Western feeding cattle, if they can get them at a low price. The hot and dry western weather is still forcing the cattle from the drougth districts to market, and the feeders in the more favored districts are buying them up at a very low price. Mrs. Candis wife of Am on Bricker, who reside on the Springer ranch, near Kniman, died this, Wednesday morning, at 4 o’olook. The Bricker family removed here from Chebanse, 111., in the spring of 1900, and the death of Mrs. Bricker is mourned by all the acquaintances of the family. A husband and four children survive. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed. John Wilken, the traveling salesman for the Bnrt-Terry Stationary Co., of Lafayette, was in Rensselaer today, for the first time since receiving his injuries in the Wabash railroad wreck near Logansport, four weeks ago. John’s injuries as mentioned by The Republican at that time, consisted of the dislocation of his right shoulder and the breaking of his right wrist, in addition to this a large splinter was foroed entirely through his right arm and another splinter cut a severe gash in his left side. His olothiug was torn from him and he lost a pocket book containing $36.75. He is by no means recovered from his injuries and is making no effort to do business, but was tired of laying around home and came here for a day’s rest among several acquaintances. The Wabash has no't yet settled with the injured of the wreck.

There was a good deal of lightning, some thunder and a little rain last night. The letter not more_than a tenth of an inch. Up about Parr and east and west from there, there was a fine shower, and just what was needed on the sandy land, where corn was beginning to curl for want of it. There wbb a great electrical display there, along with the rain, but it was mostly up in the clouds and no cases of strokes have been reported.
