Letter to Sylvester Galbraith.

Rensselaer Ind. Dear Sir: There are several way a of cheating in milk. An old fashioned way is to water it. Nobody waters it now. A better way is to take out the cream-rich milk with the cream all taken out is good as poor milk with its cream all in. But we needn’t go into particulars. You don’t rob your milk and your customers. Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with. Good paint is as rare as goodjnilk; for human nature is much the same in milkmen and paint men. Yon are just and true with your milk; so are we with our paint Devoe Ready Paint is twice as good as pure whitelead; lasts twice as long There’s twice as much butter in it. Yours truly . ... F. W.

Joe Paxton, whose arrival here from Kingman, Kans , was mentioned, has sold out his banking and other interests there, and is looking for a new location. Possibly he may locate here again. Monon engine No 111, which was so badly wrecked at Chicago a couple of months since, > has been rebuilt at the Lafayette ’shops and is being broken, in on a freight run on the main line. It will soon be put in the passenger service on the Indianapolis division.

He ran against the veteran justice, James Wiseman, and beat him 60 votes. Tom was in today and qualified.

Another eurmer thunder storm, greatly delayed in transit, arrived here at an early hour this morning. Some tremendous loud claps that oocured during its progress showed that the thunder had not lost its strength by long keeping. The rainfall was .55 of an inch.

Mrs. Josephine Vedder, Squire Jaoob Troxell’s youngest daughter, has been at death’s door by typhoid fever, for three months, at Bozeman, Montana, but some hopes are still held that she will recover. It is probable that some of the family will soon go out and see her, from here.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Randle arrived home yesterday p. m., from a trip to Mexico, Mo., which place they have now definitely selected as their future residence, and will move there about Dec. Ist. It is a fine country town of 6,000 inhabitants and surrounded and maintained by a fine farming country. Mr. Randle will buy a farm there but they will live in town and he will efigage in the real-estate business.

The spell of zero weather which has prevailed, over a great scope of northwest country, and even 20 below zero in Manitoba, seems to have spent its force, and will not make its predicted visit here. Instead the Bummer thunder storm of last night is followed today by balmy summer weather, and a temperature of 70 degrees in the ahade. That is unusual weather here for Nov. 11th. and so also, is it unusual to see willow and peach tree leaves waving green and luxuriant on the trees, still unblighted by frost as they do now

Have you seen the beautiful pattern hats at Mrs. Purcupiles, also cheaper trimmed and untrimmed hats, nobby and stylish. (Dome in and see them if you do not want to buy you will be cordially welcomed Mrs. Purcupile.

The family of Wallace Robinson, at Lamar Oo)o,. has also had a case of typhoid fever recently. His young son was very bad with it, but is now recovering. Uncle Alfred Crisler, who had a paralytic stroke some time ago in Goodland, had another this morning, at the home of his son-in-law, Wm. Wishard, on Cullen street.

The Indiana Folks Company gave a very pleasing performance at the opera house, last night. It is, in fact by general consent one of the most entirely satisfactory, and wholly unobjectionable plays given here for a long time. They are good actors clear through, but Old Men Young, tUe old farmer, is about the best Reuben that ever came down the pike. From here the company went to Frankfort. Grandfather H. M. Babb is very poorly these days and not able to be out nor to sit up much of the time. The cancer on his hand still-

troubles him greatly, in spite ©f the long and terrible ordeal he went through last summer, in at-, tempting its cure, and he also is afflicted with a stomach trouble.

Bome mischeivous boys stole a whole tub of ioe cream, in the brick form, from Robert Randle’s place, last night, where it had been ordered for a party. The boys ate some of it but threw the other away, scattering it pretty nearly all over town. This morning a line was got on the boys and the ice cream was paid for. There have been too many of this kind of pranks going on for some time, and the boys had better stop before they get into a more serious trouble.

Some 25 or 30 dead game sports paid good wealth to the Monon railroad to transport them to Shelby last evening, somewhere in the vicinity of which they expected to witness a ‘-sparring contest” between Kid Landis and some Frankfort lad. The latter is said to have flunked and the match to have fizzled.

Judge Hanley made his first appearance on the bench this forenoon, when he opened court about--10 o’clock. There was no business to be however,, except one or two small probate matters required his attention. John W.

James McClintic, a nice old gentleman from Brook, came over vesterday afternoon and paid the fine and cost of his obstinate son William, whose case for violating ihe truancy law has been related. The amount was sl3 86 in all. William walked forth at liberty and today has resumed his regular occupation as a worker in the Barens horse stocks factory and a faithful and industrious hand. May be our 30 or 40 full blood and high grade sports who went to Shelby last night are lucky that they are not now looking out on a cold and unsympathetic world through the -bars of Lake county jail. We learn that the sheriff of that county, with eight deputies, was on hand, ready, it is presumed, to arrest the whole push, in case the fight had been pulled off, instead called off. As it wds he secured only the ring ropes and some other paraphernalia.
