THURSDAY.

Mrs. Aggie Lee, of Rose LawP| is visiting relatives her. She said she w-ants to go. Go where? To Opera Hou*e, Friday night Noah Zeigler, of Benton Co. arrived here last evening, on a landhunting visit. Granville Moody was in Chicago yesterday and purchased another car load of feeding cattle. Mrs. W. S. Peter, of Monticello, came today to visit her daughter, Mrs. H. W. Prince, northwest of town. Mrs. Sarah A. Platt was called to Wheatfield today by the serious sickness of her brother, John Knight. Thomas Robinson continues to improve slowly, and confidence that he will ultimately recover is quite strong. Rensselaer Odd Fellows in considerable numbers are at Fountain Park today, attending the' district meeting and picnic. Mrs. James Parkison and children went to Mt. Sterling, 111., today, to visit her father, W. H. Collins, for a few days. Elias Arnold and wife, of Barkley tp. returned yesterday evening, from a several days visit with relatives in Chicago Heights. Mrs. Joseph Chaudoin, a mile north of town, who had practically recovered from typhoid fever, has suffered a relapse and is now in a serious condition. The Citizen’s Band went to Lafayette last evening and will play for the street carnival today and tomorrow. There will be no open air concert here this week. Sheriff Hardy left 6n the night train, last night, with Fred Glackin, to take him to the reformatory at Jeffersonville. His sentence is from two to fourteen years. Dr. English was in DeMotte this morning having been called there in consultation with Dr. C, MRice, of that place, by the serious sickness of Mrs. Joseph Tyler,

Miss Clara Fendig went to Wheatfield this morning to visit her cousin, Simon Fendig. She will teach the Herrington school, in Wheatfield tp.. which opens next Monday. David Cockerill, some miles northwest, is now very low with his sickness from dysentery, mentioned some days ago. His sister, Mrs. M. A. Webster, of Westville, is by his side, caring for him.

About fifteen went from here and a number of others from Surrey and Parr, yesterday evening, to attend the yearly association of the Free Will Baptists of the district, at the Badger churoh, southwest of Brookston.

The Lafayette Carnival is attracting a great many Rensselaer people. Thirty went there Tuesday, fifty-one yesterday and thirty today on the 10:55. Those who have returned report large crowds and plenty of amusement. Will H. Daugherty shipped the boss load of hogs for this region, to the stock yards last week. They netted $1,266.35, which we believe is the most money received for a single car load of hogs from this vicinity for a long time. Mr. Daugherty can easily remember when it took three car loads to bring as much money as this one load did. H.P. Overton, teacher of the James School, in Marion tp., a few miles south of Rensselaer, was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by Frank Cochran, a patron of the school. He is charged with assault and battery on Clarence Cochran, a 13 or 14 year old boy, son of the above mentioned Frank Cochran, and whom it appears, Mr, Overton punished, perhaps with undue severity. The case is set for trial this evening, before Squire Troxell.

four years ago and had not used any other since, took one of the south-bound trains here yesterday. She said she was “MrsRobinson of New Yawk,” and that she came here intending to bring 10 people, and to give a show. But she chanced to pass the school house, and there was jeered and hooted at ,by 100 kids, more or less and as she stated never so maltreated iu all her mortal existence. . Hence this town lost the wonderful advantage of her 10 people and their show. Judging the 10 people from Mrs, Robinson of New Yawk as a sample, we think the town ought not to be wholly inconsolable over the loss. But she was hot! Hot enough to have furnished steam for the locomotive clear to Monon. She seems to have given the kids plenty of provocation for hooting at her. She is probably a little “daffy.”

Honoring October Brides.

The first event in honor of the October weddings occurred Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Harry R. Kurrie, given in honor of Misses Luella McCoy and Della Harris by Madams Harry R. Kprrie, Charles C. Warner and Ray D. Thompson. An elegant lucheon was served at one o’clock, which was followed by a shower of wooden utensils; each article being accompanied by a verse or poem composed by the donor. The table decorations were white and green, while the favors and ices were in heart shape with decorations of lover’s knots, wedding bells, cupids and darts. Miss Rae Sloman of Coldwater, Michigan was also a guest of honor. Miss McCoy and her bridal party went to Lafayette in the evening, where a series of entertainments will be given in her honor.

The City Council.

Cement Walk was ordered along the east side of Franklin streets along blocks 17 and 20 bo connect ’with the walk on Oak street. j An ordinance was introduced and passed under suspension of the rules, by unanimous vote, 'requiring the cement walk, ordered some months ago, affecting the proI perty of Mrs. M. E. Thompson and ' others, to be put under construction | within five days. If this is not done the marshal is to have the walks built and their cost taxed to the property. . A library tax ordinance was passed under suspension of the rules. It levies only one fifth of a mill on each SIOO. John A. Penrod was contracted with as inspector of the construction of the brick streets, at $4 per day. C. p. Nowels was granted a permit for a brick and frame wash room at the Nowels House. The Makemself ditch matter came up. It developed that the city engineer had not got the plans and specifications prepared in time for letting the contract, as advertised; and as it was thought too late to readvertise it and construct the sewer this season, the petition was dismissed. The matter will probably be brought up by a new petition early next spring.

Czolgosz Promptly Condemned.

Leon Czolgoez had his trial at Buffalo Tuesday, and was promptly convicted. Thursday he will be sentenced to death in the electrical chair, which is now the only legal method of inflicting the death penalty in New York A considerable time, four months if we remember rightly, must elapse between the conviction and the carrying out of the sentence. It is a pity that the miserable wretch can not be executed as promptly as he has been tried and convicted.

After a Big Herd of Horses.

Alt Padgett left Wednesday for Adel, Oregon, and will bring back a whole herd of western horses. He has 200 already contracted for and expects to buy 150 more, after he arrives there. Homer Hardy, of Remington, went with him to assist in .the work. Homer’s brother Chris Hardy, lately of Arizona, also went with them, but expects to stop off in Utah. Mr. Pagett expects to be gone about five weeks.

Foot Ball Challenge. Delphi Journal: Rensselaer claims to have the best amateur foot ball team in Indiana this season, and wants to arrange games with all teams claiming a right to the title. Delphi would like to test their strength if we had a representative team of ’96, when they all looked to Delphi for the fine points of the game. Even Rensselaer was trampled under foot, and speaks for the first time of revenge. The home boys are going to organize next Friday evening and will undoubtedly send out a line-up that will make the Rensselaer combination play her best men. We have the stuff here, so look out Rensselaer.
