City News.

Charles Garling south of town is sick with a bad ease of erysipelas in the face. W. S. Parks eurprieed his family by dropping in this afternoon, from California, considerably ahead of his schedule time. The 9:55 8. m. train north was about eight hours late, today. As usual, the trouble occurred down on the C. H &D. end of the line. Miss Roberts, one of the city teachers, is sick with tonsilits and her room, the 6th year £rade, is dismissed today. Mrs. B*n Oglesby and children of Medaryville came Saturday to spend the Holidays with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Baas.

Cooney Kellner is just opening a finely arranged billiard and pool room in the building adjoining his saloon, formerly occupied by J. C. Carmichael’s harness shop. Henry W, Howe, of Chicago visited Rev. A. G. Work over Sunday, and Saturday evening addressed a special meeting for young men and boys, at the Presbyterian church. This forenoon he gave a talk to the city high school. Not a vestige of the big and solid depth of snow of a week ago is now to be seen. The open weather is bad for the holiday trade, but good for people where coal is scarce, which is about every place except Rensselaer. An Ohkosh, Wisconsin, man, wm fined 1500 for three kiflßea he gave a girl in that city. Lord, he can get them four for a quarter in Fowler, and they’ll be good, too. —Oxford Tribune. The Independent telephone men representing the counties of Benton Warren, Newton and Jasper, Indiana; Vermillion and Iroquois, in Illinois, held a meeting in this place yesterday afternoon. —Oxford Tribune.

Isaac Glazebrook is on the anxious seat of happy expectancy these days. The reason thereof is the impending addition to his horse family of a veritable Dan Patch colt, which is due about in time for a New Year’s present. Grown Point Star: —John Stowell, of Shelby, who has lived on the Kankakee marsh for 40 years, died on Wednesday of last week, after passing bis 76th year. He was born in Ohio June 13, 1826. He spent three years in the 73rd Infantry and was captured and put into rebel prison during his

AMERICA’S BEST Editorially Fearless. Consistently Republican. News from all of the world—we’d written, original stories—answers to queries articles on health, the home, new books andon work about the farm and garden. The Weekly later Ocean Is a member of the Aaaaodated Press, the trtateai ( ymnw* receiving over 2,000 special correspond-mte thron-YEAR-ONE-DOUAI Babaoribe for the REPUBLICAN and the WEEKLY INTER OCEAN one

service. He leaves five living children. His remains were buried at Lowell . G. W. Spitler got a pretty hard bumping last Thursday, while working on the big baru on Mrs. M. L. Spitler’s Newton county farm. The scaffolding gave Way and George tumbled about 18 or 20 feet, He got some ligaments torn loose in his heel, an ankle sprained and a twist of the wrist. Fred Hartman waa on the scaffold also, and started to make the same trip, but stopped himself at a way station by catching hold of a brace and was not hurt.

Mrs. Nancy Snodgrass, whose home is in Rensselaer, is now, if we are correctly informed, lawfully named Mrs. Nancy Thomas. It is stated that she was married to a Mr. Thoxap, .at Plymouth, this state, about two months ago. For some reason this matrimonial venture did not prove agreeable and and the lady left him about three weeks after the wedding. She is now staying with relative at Mt. Ayr, as we are informed. The Bureau of Forestry states that in an average year sixty human lives are lost by forest fires, $25,000,000 worth of property destroyed. 10,274,080 acres of timber over and young forest growth worth 175,000,000 is killed. These appallingjfaots should be sufficient arguments for better protective legislation in the states of the northwest. Remington Press: * Mrs. Hattie Shepherd who is now visiting her son Ernest at Ithica, N. Y. writes that she will start today to join her husband at Redlands, Oalif. Her mother Mrs. Lockwood is visiting relatives at Terre Haute, and will probably go to California to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Shepherd as soon as they get settled and her health permits of the trip.

The board of state charities in its reports for several years past has called attention to the continuing decrease in the number of inmates of county poor asylums. While the decrease is small, it is worthy of note because of the increase in the population of the state, and which is more remarkable, because of the great decrease in recent years in the amount of relief furnished this class of people in their own homes by township trustees. But the explanation is easy enough, it is all owing to Republican prosperity. This year there were 3,046 persons in poor asylums, 65 per cent being males. -Oneof our growing young men has been parting his hair in the middle and otherwise following the dictates of fashion, much to his old fashioned father’s disgust. The father took a good look at his offspring at the supper table last night and then said with great scorn: “You look like a fool.” After supper an old friend of the family dropped in, and during the conversation remarked, "John, your boy looks very much like you.” "That is just what dad was telling me,” interjected the young America. And the father has come to the conclusion that the new form of heir dressing hasn’t affected the boy’s brain as yet It is said that the straightening of the Kankakee river between LaPorte and Starke counties will reduce the length of the water course from 42 to 18 miles. The new channel will be 70 feet wide and will cost $120,000. It will bnng the water down on the lower reaches of the river with a rush, and while it will not cause a higher average of water below than is now experienced, it will cause more sudden and frequent rises, and thus probably compel the Porter, Jasper, Lake and Newton county owners of the Kankakee valley land to follow the example of the LaPorte and Starke county owners, by straightening- the river. Mrs. B. Forsythe left for New Philadelphia, Ohio, this morning, called by the sad and wholly unexpected news of the death of her mother, Mrs. Kate Smith. She died very suddenly, Sunday morn- 1

ing, and it is supposed of heart failure. She was about 65 years old and the widow of Dr. Thomas Smith, whose death also occurred hot long ago. This makes, in fact, the third time within a year Mrs. Forsythe has been called back to her old home by death of her nearest relatives, she having also lost a sister within that time as well as both her parents. One sister is now all that remains there. Mrs Smith’s funeral will be held Tuesday. Elmer Dwiggins has returned here from Remington, with bis sons, and Mrs. Dwiggins will join him in a few days. They will visit their relatives here for about a week, and then go to New York City, which place will be their home for probably quite an extended period- It is ten years since Elmer last saw his native Rensselaer and he is greatly and agreeably surprised at our town’s developement in that time. And of the numberless fine oompli-'' ments our beautiful court house has received, none have been more remarkable than his. During the last six months he has been all over France, the land, par excellence, of beautiful and tasteful public buildings, and be says there is not a city in that whole nation in which the people would not be proud of a building as handome as our court house. He speaks interestingly oC South America and says that in Buenos Ayres, where he lived several years, there are at least 300 fine days in every yean ‘
