CITY AND VICINITY

Mrs. Mary Lyons of Delphi came yesterday for a few days visit with Mrs. Joe Halligan. The light snows of Thursday and the heavy one of last night brought a total of nearly four inches.

Landis, of Delphi, was renominated for Oougress from the 9th district, at Frankfort, Thursday. There was no opposition, and he was nomiuarod by acclamation.

An anti-pass bill has been introduced in congress. The bill provides that it shall be unlawful for any state, district, county or municipal officer to accept and use any free pass or reduced rate of fare from any common carrier. The penalty for doing so is a fine of from SIOO to SSOO. Kentland Enterprise:—lt is generally understood that Hon. Jesse Wilson of Bensselaer will be a

candidate for State Senator in this distriot. provided the apportionment law is held unconstitutional. Mr. Wilson made an excellent member of the lower house at the last session of the legislature, and would doubtless make a fine Senator.

The bodies of the three duck hunters from S mth Chicago who were lost in Lake Miohigan several months ago, and one of whom was Gas Eokstrom, formerly of this vioinity, have *nevhr been recovered, and parties were looking for them during the thawing weather, a few days ago, bnt with-

out Buooess. One of the men had a large sum of money with him. The Kentland Enterprise says the intense freezing of the "past winter” has bulged up and badly oraoked their cement walks. No trouble of that kind has been reported here. The ohildlike faith of the Enterprise in speaking of the season as "the past winter' is to be envied. Over here we are still apprehensive as to what the weather man still has np his sleeve in the winter line.

The arrest was made by the sheriff of White oonnty and the town marshal of Montioello. Boyd worked here in the Democrat office several months, and after leaving was said to have been working in the Journal offioe, at Montioello. While here he seems to have been straight' enough, exoapt for some occasional tendencies towards boozing.
