THE WEEK’S DOINGS

FRIDAY Senior Hopkins went to Chicago today for a few days’ visit. Miss Berry, of Chicago, returned home today after a short visit with her sister, Miss Edith Berry, Miss Lettie Willis went to Anderson today for a three weeks’ visit with her sister. Mrs- Vermont Hawkins, While it would be expecting too much to expect one day’s good weather all in one piece, yet we did have enough gool weather yesterday and today to make one whole day if put together

W. S. Russell was over from Carpenter township today, and reports that farmers over at the south end have about one third of their oats orop sowed, and are at it today. Over this wav he saw no one in the fields.

Austin Hopkins and family have moved into the residence on River street they purchased some time ago, the former L. H. Myers’ property; and W. J. Wright, who occupied the place has moved into the property Mr. Hopkins moved out of, the T. J. Sayler residence, on Front street

Conrad Kellner, the saloonist, has a lengthy card in this issue, at so muoh per. Soms reports it seems have been circulated that Cooney was not running his plaoe strictly in aooordauoe with the law in sime particulars. But as it looks to us Cooney makes a fair square statement, and well oaloul* ated to convince people that he is, as he says, a law abiding oitizen,

Prof. Arnold had his dancing classes for this week last night instead of Friday night, which is the regular time, for the reason that he had a long standing engagement for April 15th. Next week the regular day will be resumed again. His classes are reported to have increased quite largely over the previou3j large number of the week before.

Earl, 8 year old son of Wash Lowmao. living on the Thompson & Lawler farm east of Pleasant Ridtre died last night, after about a week’s sickness. His death was caused by Bright’s disease of the kidneys, and this is supposed to have resulted from a relapse from scarlet fever, though if be had the latter disease it was in so mild a form that its presence was not reoognized. Nick Zimmerman, from over in ihe small end of Jordan, came to town yesterday, and run right into a wnrrant for his arrest, in the hands of Constable Vick. He is charged by Ben O’Conner “with the larceny of some ditahing tools Acccrdiag to 0 C onner siatemen t he followed the track of Nick’s buggy wheels and found the tools in the buggy. The case is set for 10 a. m. Saturday, before Squire Troxell.

It is a much coveted honor among Presbyterian ministers, whioh came to Rev. A, Golden Work, the popular young pastor of the Rensselaer Presbyterian ohnrob when the Presbytery eleoted him a delegate to tbe general assembly. It is something they all desire, bat some of them never realize their wißbes. The assembly lasts ten days, and the delegates have all traveling and entertainment expenses paid. It meets the latter part of May, and its plaoe of meeting this year is Buffalo, New York.

SATURDAY D£ English reports the advent of,a bouncing boy at Hale Grant’s near Barkley. Mrs. Simnn Kaninn who has been very siok with pneumonia is improving. Birn Friday, April 15th, to Mr. and Mrs, El. G lffiald southiast of town a son, last Thursday, April 14th. T. J. McCoy has been laid up since Wednesday with what his pbysioian thinks is a light attack of appendicitis. He is reported I somewhat better today.

The measles ooutinue to spread among the children here, and seems likely to practically ea ch all who have not previously had this disease. It is outting down the attendance in the lower school grades to a marked degree. A most lamentable fatality oc curred at Goodland on April Bth, Lester Johnson, about 12 years old, had made a toy cannon out of a bicycle pump cylinder and fired it off heavily loaded with powder, firmly wadded with paper, and the force of the explosion blew the cannon its full length in the poor boy’s brain, killing him instantly. Be was a fine manly boy, too the Herald says

What is the matter with the Democrat’s ‘‘nose for news” this week, anyhow? It totally missed the most interesting feature of its own party’s city convention, which was the enthusiastic unanimous nomination of Geo. A. Btriokfadeu for mayor. Possibly its editor swooned away from exoess of ad miriug emotion during Orator Houau’s great speech, and thereby forgot a good deal whioh took plaoe previous to that time. Tom Farden, ot Williamsport, once a business man in Rensselaer aud well and pleasantly remembered by all who were here 20 years ago, has just returned with his wife from their winter home in Mississippi. Tom it seems has invested largely iu land there, ju9t bow largely be refuses to say, but is apparently on the way to realize wealth beyond bis wildest dreams. And Tom’s dreams of wealth were always decidedly wild.

Major Peacock has had a notable addition to his household in the form of 12 fine St Bernard pups. There were 14 in the original swarm but two of them had places so far down the line that they didn’t get their first rations issued soon enough, and they departed this life. The remaining dozen are fine pups, and being regular herd book stock the Major expects them to pan cut even better than the Dixie Queen gold mine, when they arrive at doghood’s, or lady doghood’s estate. Even those "unco good” Mon ti cello editors have their troubles sometimes. Thus the Evening Journal of that city made s disparaging remark or two about the time kept by tbeir court house clock and George Wigmure, who takes ours of tbe olook made a row with the editor Ed Newton, and the two mixed, in a bntcber shop. They were separated before serious damage was done. The remarks made by the Journal about the dock were very mild and more playfnl than otherwise, and in no way justified Wigmore in making trouble with Mr. Newton about the matter. *

The Detpoorats of R •risselner are to be congratulated in tna> they followed the eximp'e of tne Republicans, and the Dem icrats are generally pretty good followers of tb6 Republicans except when they get too far iu the tear, and they nominated a nice bunch of men, clear through, on their city ticket. And The Republican will have no personal figui coming on any of them. Another good house to be built here junt as soon as possiole, will be for T. W. Grant, now of Rose Lawn. He is having moved hack his present house, on Main aud Elm street, for the site of the new one. It will be a fine house, C3sting about $3,000. E. M. Banes has the oarpenter wor»». Mr. Grant has sold his lumber business in Rose Lawn and will move baok here as soon as tbe removal of bis old house is oompleted.

When it comes to hard winters and late spring, the present is not the first, by any means. Thus our townsman, Wm. Clift, reminds us of the winter of 1890 and 91. It was not only a very oold winter bat it held on late, and there was bitter freezing weather way into April. As a oiroumstauoe shewing bow oold it was during the winter he remembers that he was then living down near Danville, 111., and an old fellow in the neighborhood had often said he wanted to die some winter when there was four feet of frost iu the grouud, in order that the sextou who dug his grave would have to earn his money. Well, he died that winter, and, snre enough the sexton had to pick and pry his way through four solid feet of frozen it'll it d'ggfng the phaoant old party a permanent planting place. Mrs. Henry Watson, whose recent return from Chicago was mentioned, is now in a sad state of suffering and danger from the oanoer on her face. It has already eaten into some of the small arteries, causing dangerous hemorrhages, and a large artery is in danger of rapture at any time. Remington Press: At the Presbyterian oburoh next Wednesday evening, April 20, at 7 p, m. will ooonr the installation service of Rev. E. B. Whitney as pastor. Rev. H. O. Rice of Montioello will preaoh the aermon, Rev. A; Golden Work of Rensselaer will give tbe charge to the people, Rev. 8. F. Stitt of Chalmers will charge the I pastor.

Special music will lie furnished by the Rensselaer orchestra at the Christian Church tomorrow evening. The subject as has been announced will be “Paul the Christian” in the morning. At night “Religious Shams.” Monticello Democrat: —Mayor Jamas H. S Ellis of Rensselaer has been re-nominated by the Republicans of that oity for mayor for another term. Mayor Ellis seems to have given complete satisfaction during bis pr* sent term.

The weather out-weathered itself Friday. From 34 degrees in the morning, the temperature jumped to 00 by noon. That was a raise of 26 degrees in half a day. At noon a very short turn was made around the half mile post, and then it started down the home stretch with even greater speed than in reaohing the tarn. By six o’clock the home post of 34 degrees whs reaohed again. Tbue the temperature rose 26 degrees in one half day and fell 26 in the Huooeeding half day, and we venture to say that is pretty nearly a record breaker for quick action up anddn*n. It was going so fast when the winning post was past, at six o’clook, that it could net stop going, and tais morning it whs down to 27 degrees, or five degrees of freezing, Bnd a fall of 33 degrees since the previous noon.

MONDAY Miss Mary Eger returned home 'oday after a year and a half’s stay in Denver, Colorado. Mrs. W. H. Gardner returned today after a few days’ visit wita her sod, B. O, Gardner. Misses Kathryn Jones and Nan Callahan pf Lafayette spent Sunday wrth Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Powers. Miss Clara Raise, of Perry, lowa, retu ned home today after a w*-eks visit with Miss Irma and Juno Kannal.

Samuel Stevens, whose home is at Cropsey, 111., is recovered from a sever« 1 weeks’ sickness from malarial fever at Frank Rowan’s hotel, ne«r the depot. Peer Van Leer, who has been woiking with Hi Day’s plastering forcrt for quite a long time past, left today for Kingman, Kans. Mrs. D. F. Grant is very seriously sick atjier home in the northwest part of town. Her condition, in fact was at times been such that her recovery was dispaired of. The latter end of April is only 12 days away, and Winter, the old villian, still lingers in the lap of spring. Saturday mght and Sunday morning, for instance, brought another very hard freeze with a temperature down to 23 degrees; or nine below the freezing point. Today is alright for warmth, if it will only last.

TOO MUCH MEDICINE. The system continually wronged by over-eating and oveft drinking, and the debilitated condition aggravated by dosing with harsh nauseous drugs and medicines

The excessive and indiscriminate use of medicines, in these days, cannot be too strongly condemned. The food you eat if properly digested, is all the tonic yon need. Only common sense is needed. The food must be digested and the bowels must not be allowed to clog, rreserve your health by preventing these conditions. Constipation aurely leads to indigestion, biliousness, etc., and these conditions when neglected affect the condition of the blood, debilitate the system, rendering it susceptible to more serious ailmenta, and less able to resist such attacks. If yonr stomach has been abused by overeating, weakened by drugs or sickness, you won t have to stop eating or diet yourself. All you need Is something that will aid the stomach in its functions and relieve it from being constanUy irritated by undigested food. The purest and simplest remedy lor this purpose are the California Prune Wafers, a natural dissolvent made from the pure, fresh fruit, a general laxative and sweetener of the stomach—no' other medicine is necea•ary. When you are Bilious, It is aslgnthatyour Liver is out of order, and the poisonous bile, instead of being excreted from the body through the intestines^is taken up in the blood. As a result of biliousness, the entire

Decided Not To Operate.

Dr. Arthur D- Bevan, head of Department of 3nrgery, of Rush Medical College, aud a very eminent specialist in his lines, and his assistant, Dr Bmitb, came down from Chicago, Sunday, prepared to operate upon T. J. McCoy, for appendicitis, if it was thought advisable. On oarefnl examination, however, they decided that there was no immediate necessity for the removal of tbe appendix. They foand Mr. Mo Co? getting along very satisfactorily, and with every prospect for recovery.

It is considered however that an operation will be advisable after recovery, in order to prevent a probable and more eerions recuronce of the attack; as it is recognized that there is a permanently inflamed condition, which has no donbt caused him trouble heretofore, but before it was not evident enough to recognize; and as long as the appendix remains it will be a source of danger. lost Retweer Rorsse'aer and the Ir:c tiidge mt c t.si 1 shopping bag ooatainiDg a pocaet book with about $1 20, a rosary and a pair of glaaaea and a book written in Polish.
