Carroll County Council has ap

propriated $7,500 to buy voting machines with, which is the reason •that some of the voting] machiue companies are biking their machines to Delphi to have them tried out at the coming city election. a g | Mrs. Geo.

Dr. E. 6. Bailey, of Hahnemann hospital, Chicago, came down Thursday and performed a surgical operation for Mrs. C. C. Warner, which was very successful, and she is doing finely. A nurse from the city is caring for her. A few of our Democratic brethren have consulted together and decided to put a Citizens .Ticket in the field for the coming city elec tion. They will call their conven tion for next Monday night we artinformed.

The Crown Point Star complains of anew chickens disease. It Says they begin with a sore head and live but a short time. Maybe it is a sore neck, where the ax catches them. They • usually die very quick after gettieg that. Anyhow human soreheads generally outlive most everybodi y else. The wild duck have failed so far to visit Lake county, this fall, and but very few have been seen on our marshes. The guns are their enemy, but the steam dredges are doing the final work that will eventually exterminate them in this territory, which has been one of their greatest hangouts.—Crown Point Star. Mr. and Mrs. Louis R. Feudig, of Brunswick, Ga., have arrived here on their weddingjtrip, and will visit his parents Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Fendig, for about two weeks. His bride was formerly Miss Sadie Goldberg, and they were married at Jacksonville, Florida, last Sunday. It is her first trip northward.

Omer Dowell, the 18 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dowell near Monon, was accidentally killed on Friday of last week. It was supposed he was thrown by a horse and kicked by it on the back of his head. He was first found by his mother and was dead when found. He was 18 years old and their only son. On Ohio newspaper]! says that the immortal J. N. now in his eighty fifth year, is still on the road and made his appearance in Hillsboro recently. He is we|ll remembered by men of the civil War period when he wanderedjover the country, giving his distorted views of men and measures wherever he could find a listener. The old man is now mord pathetic than ever and it is plain that within a short time his worn body and perturbed mind will be at rest, j He gave one of his peculiar lectures here a number of years ago.

The new railroad graders have struck a small sink hole, south of St. John, for which Lake'Xcounty lias a reputation, and first] and|last have cost the different railroad corporations thousands and thousinds of dollars to fill, and after all they are treacherous and need watchjng. It is estimated that the -ink hole on Deep River, near that place cost the Panhandle Comp iny $50,000, and still it settles a i utervals. This new one is not far irom the Monon’s sink hole, just north of Cedar Lake, which cast the company many thousands of dollars, some years ago. They also had another j ust south of the lake, which they finally had to buiki around.

A full grown cabbage and two quite able bodied potatoes are on exhibition at Moody & Roth’s. They were brought from North l>akota by Sam Roth’s brother-in-law. They .were labeled North Dakota all right, but jealous Joe Jackson, whose farm is in Minnesota, has turned the label around and wrote “Browu Co., Ind.” on it. The cabbage weighs 24 pounds and the Murphies 4 lbs and 14 ounces. The Irishman who was tricked by big yellow pumpkins hung in a tree, and told they were oranges; admitted they were pretty flue oranges, but said, they grow a little bit bigger iia old Irelau 1. So also potatoes and cabbage 4 grow a little bigger in,old Jasper—but not always.

The Michigan City News says two men and five dogs ran down and captured a badger, a few days in Kankakee township, LaPorte county, and which animaPi qfiite a rarity in that region. It weighed 18 pounds, which would not be large for a badger. They took it to a taxidei mist to have it mounted. They should havedooked up oiy late traveling fakers, and sold it to them for another grave robbing, pig-grunting, dogbarking, rooster-crowing, goatsmelling cephalopod. George Lowell, general superintendent of the Monou lines, states that the company would, on the first of next month, receive seven new locomotives, and of this number four would be passenger engine’s of the Pacific type with 24x 26 inch cylinders, weighing 210,000 pounds and equal in every re spect to the famous engines run on the Lake Shore road. The tanks will have 7,000 gallons’ capacity and the engines will have all the new features of recent design that are of value for passenger engines.' Three of these locomotives will be placed on the Indianapolis division on Nov. 1 to run betweeu Indiana] - olis and Chicago.

The Murray-Long building is now having its roof put on, and can soon bid defiance to the weather. The roof is a coal tar and gravel, and Donnelly Brothers, are putting it on. The Delphi high school football lads came over this morning, on the 9. 55 trains and are a fine looking bunch of boys, and were followed, at a respectful admiring dist ance, by a still finer looking bunch, but not boys, from the same place. It is now officially announced that the new north and south railroad through this state, and now called the Indiana Harbor railroad, is really a part of the great New York Central System. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Overton, of Aurora, 111., are here for a week’s visit with relatives.

The temperature was down to 27-degrees last night, the coldest of the season so far, and the freeze was hard enough to even put a crimp in the jimson weeds, which heretofore had bid defiance to Jack Frost. ' The cold wave seems t o exhausted it energy in this hard freeze, and finer weather is again with us. The ever hospitable home ol Oscar Hauler was thrown open last night to receive the large Fresh iqen cla!ss and their teachers in their first class party. About sixty-five enjoyed a pleasant evening and were served with elegan refreshments, and returned home as they came, on two over flowing hay racks. There seems to be a lack of understanding regarding the jcouneilmen at large. The candidates for couucilwen at large are to be voted for by the whole city, that is, the names will appear on all the tickets. The duties however, ot the councilman at the same as the other councilmen, but under the new law the number of councilman is reduced from six to five in this city.

The newly organized club the Bacblor Maids, last night entertained a number of their friends, in eluding the Imps, in their club room in Granville Moody’s residence. It was given in honor of Miss Flossie Gardner who is soon to move to California. Dainty refreshments were served. reports a very enjoyable time. The B. M’s. themselves spent the night in club room. The Citizens’ Ticket was too good to live long! in this cruel world, and is dead, departed and gone hence. Our Democratic friends who were trying to organize it, did not meet with the encouragement they hoped for, from Republicans, and they let it drop. They have therefore issued a call for a straight Democratic convention, for two o’clock next Monday afternoon.

The Third Assistant Postmaster General has decided] that a] piano contest the Jasper County Democrat has been conducting for some time and advertising very largely comewith the provisions of the lottery law, and that papery containing the ads are unmailable. If the affair is a lottery it is hard to say whom the joke is on the] worst The editor who is conducting it oi the various churches and Sunday Schools which were investing in it Warren Robinson arrived hornthis morning from Lamar,Colo, where he went to attend the funqra of his twin brother, Wallace. H« reports that probably the latter’: family will continue to reside a Lamar, where he had a large estat and where the widow’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Burk, also re side. Warren came back by wav of lola, with his brothers Ad am Frank, and went with Ad dowi into southeast Missouri, where An has lately bought a tract of I,oo' acres of land.

Looks like the veterans of tin civil war op north of the Kanka kee area pretty frisky lot, for their age. The old boys of Lowell and of Hebron had a big base ball game at Lowell, a short time ago, and judging from the reports both sides put up a right good game. So far as Jheard from none of the old vets are enlisting in the football ranks. They got enough ol killing and wounding when they were line-backing the Johnny Rebs and are not going [into something still more dangerous now.

According to a press dispatch from Brook, an aged man and an elder in the church of that town named Thomas Martin plead guilty to trying to kiss both cheeks of Mrs. Addison Burton, and was fined S2O and costs, it serves the old boy right, especially if he tried to kiss both cheeks at once, or if h© sought to kiss one cheek and couldn’t, and then “turned the other cheek also.” That being an application of the scripture rule that does not apply in such cases, even for elders.
