BRIEF LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

FRIDAY. f L. 0. Alter, of the U. S. Weather Bureau at Salt Lake City, is visit ing his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Alter in Union tp. Mr. and Mrs. George Barrett, of Eureka, 111., are here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Myers and looking after his farm east of town. J. W. Walker, official stenographer of the U. S. courts of Arizona, left for that territory today, having apparently entirely regained his health, after his severe surgical operation, of 6 or 8 weeks weeks ago.

Rev. Philip McDade, a Baptist minister who lived here at one time was married on the 14th inst. to his housekeeper, Mrs. Mary Dottery of Camden. He is pastor of ,the Baptist ehurch at that place and has been a widower since last May. He is 80 years old. Blaine Gwin expects now to re--open his school in the Laura district in Walker tp,, next Monday, if no other new cases of diptheria deve lope before that time. One other case has occured, Golda Snyder, who has been quite sick, but is now recovering. Monticello Journal: Dr. F. A. Turller of Rensselaer was in town this morning on his way to Idaville to attend his father in-law, W. W. sale of personal property He goes to Chicago this evening to attend an important meeting of Osteopaths.

Edward Schoen was operated upon Thursday, at the Deaconess hos pital, at Indianapolis, for his injured kidney and liver. The operation seems to have been very successful and the News says it is thought he will be back in school dn three weeks. Jerry Simpson, the celebrated populist statesman of Kansas, died Monday, at his home in Wichita, Kans. He had been very low for several months. He once lived in Porter county, this state, and still has a brother at Hammond and a sister at Westville. The play “Her Fatal Sin” was attended by a large audience at the opera house last night. The company is one of the ablest that has been here for a long time, and they put the play on in excellent shape. Anne Hamilton, who takes the part of Carmen, the lending personage in the play, is au actress of far more than ordinary ability

Delphi Herald: Those of our people who went to Rensselaer last Saturday are displaying to the gaze of their wondering friends relics taken from Tom McCoy’s wrecked house. The wreck stands today just as it did the morning after the dynamite] went off. E. P. Honan, our former townsmen had arranged to buy the property of Mrs. McCoy and the deeds were to have passed the day after the wreckage but when Mr. Honan looked at it the next morning he didn’t want it at any price. Some 50 big boxes of dynamite were unloaded at the depot today to be used in the blasting operations of the Iroquois ditch and were still on the plaii ’i H when last heard from. If thej stuff should happen to go off, premaLun y, be nothing left of r * , s r v «i hole in the ground, «*.. what there was left of k, wuual probably get a new depot at last.

But if we didn't we wouldn’t lose much, for the hole would still be there, and it would make about as good a depot as the one we now have. 4 C. H. Sternberg is being delayed much longer than he hoped for in starting his drilling operations, in the rock work of the big ditch. The drill parts of his steam drilling machines have arrived, and are at present stored in Strickfaden’s corn cribs, near where the drilling will begin, but the tripods, or legs, which support the drills w r ere ordered from New York and have not yet been received; nor the hose which conducts the steam either. Mr. Sternberg, who is here looking after arrangements for starting the work, will go to Chicago tomorrow to find out why the other parts do not arrive. When the drills all get in operation it will be an interesting sight to our people.

Editor Bowie, of Thayer, reports that his little son John, who was so terribly burned some weeks ago, is now in a most discouraging condition. His vitality is at a very low ebb, resulting from the shock of his injuries, and he refuses to Like any nourishment of any kind. He will sw’allow nothing but a little water, and the experiment is to be tried of giving him albumin in the water he drinks, and it being entirely tasteless it is hoped he can be got to take a little nourishment in that way. Unless he can it is evident he can last but a short time longer. Fortunately the little fellow does not suffer any pain. Still another man has just died at Crown Point from a tap on the head that was not thought dangerous. It was Patrick Ryan, an unknown railroad laborer, who had been working on the new Indiana Harbor railroad. He was drunk and discharged by the gang foreman, B. H. Bright. He went away but came back to clean out the gang. He followed Bright around calling him bad name, and finally reached like he was going x to pull a pistol when Bright struck him on the head with a pick handle. He was taken to the county asylum and seemed to be doing all right until last Saturday, when he was taken with convulsions and soon died. Bright was arrested, but exonerated and released as soon as the facts were made known. He had no intention of killing Ryan.

SATURDAY Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Clark are visiting relatives in Lafayette. Joseph Schuh, one of the most prominent citizens of Kentland, and one of its oldest residents, died of appoplexy Bunday morning and was buried Tuesday forenoon. Sam English, of Barkley is getting his affairs in shape to remove to Oklahoma, where he is interested in a large cattle ranch, in a short time. Dr. P. J. Pothuisje, of Remington, has shipt>ed his goods to Denver, Col., and himself and family will follow them there next Wednesday. They expect to locate in Denver permanently. There was a gobdly delegation wenfover to Delphi ibis afternoon, to witness the football game. The number of tickets spl/1 was 51, wlr'ch was just guo inOjre than the number needed to secure the $1.15 rate for the round tri J. F. E. Cooper, superintendent of f

schools of Lake county since 1882, died at Crown Point Friday morning. He was one of the best known educators in Indiana, was’ the first Chief Banger of the Independent Order of Foresters, of Indiana, and was also a Knight of Pythias of high rank. * According to the Veedersburg News a black, snake, 15 feet long and seven inches through, has been seen iu a certain locality near that town several times lately. If not the same old snake, it surely must be the same old lie. as was told a few years ago about, a snake over west in Newton county. The length and the thickness and the color all agree to a nicety. Mr. and Mrs. Orlen Grant, the latest Rensselaer bridal couple, a distinction which will mighty soon slip from their grasp, by all reports, arrived home last evening from Chicago, where they had been for a short bridal visit, sihce their marriage iu Hammond Wednesday. Tiiey were given a serenade by the Rensselaer Band, of which Orlen is a member. They will make their home for the present with his mother Mrs. Mattie Grant, oh Front street.

No success has yet been met with in tracking down the party or parties who lured from his home and brutally murdered Wayne Hale, near Wheeler, in Portercounty, several weeks ago. His wife has been not exactly under ar rest ever since the murder, but de tained by the sheriff, at his residence. She has just been indicted by the grand jury, as an accessory before the fact, and has been releas ed on bail of SI,OOO. o> The Indianapolis Star df Monday contained a pitiful story concern ing little 12 year old Eva Detrick * of this place who was picked up on the st reets of that city penniless and thoroughly willing to be sent home. Word was sent here and her legal guardian M. H. Groves went to the city Wednes lay to look after her. She had run away and accompanied little Gertrude Klause to Indianap olis on Monday previous, but found life in the city a bitter experience for one of tender years without friends. Mr. Groves found a gopd home for the girl in the home *of the Sheriff and left her there pending her good behavior.—Reining ton Press.

MONDAY

Rev. w. H. Flagg the pastor, began a series of meeting at the M. P. church, Sunday night and] will continue every evening this week. There was a fairat the theater performance at the opera house Saturday night, and a good bunch of actors. Their play was A Wife in Name Only, and resembles its title in being a play in name only, or pretty near it. Mrs. A.‘ Oppenheimer and daughter Belle, of New Orleans, who have spent the {summer with with her daughter Mrs. .B. 8. ( Fendig, left for their home today, i Mr. and Mrs. Fendigj went with them as far as Chicago, where they will remain for a few day. 1 Alt Padgett has arrived home from the racing circuit, leaving the horses to come in by freight. | The horses and their latest records are Bourbon J. 2.191; Fair Oaks, 2.151; Dan P. 2.08, Kindest Kind, 2.13. On the whole the horses have had a very It has rarely happened of recent years that Rensselaer did not have several football players on the big teams. Now we seem to have only one, but he is a good one. We refer to Frank McCarthy who plays left end on the Indiana University team, and he was right in the thick of the fray last Saturday when the Varsity and Purdue broke even ou a hotly contested game. The score was 11 to 11. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Moore had the misfortune Saturday afternoon to lose something over $lO of his hard earned money, which Mrs. Moore was carrying in a hand pocket-book. However as it turned ofit the lost pocket book was found by honest people and with its contents was restored to them this morning. The finder was a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Day.

F. E. Cooper, tne just deceased superintendent of Lake county, was at the time of his death, the next oldest county superintendent in Indiana, in respect to length of continuous service in the office, he, having been in the office since 1882, or 23 years. The one superintendent who exceeds this record is the superintendent of Union county, and he has been in office continuously since 18’3, or ever since the office of county superintendent was first established. Fredericks. Case, one of the injured boys on the Purdue football train wreck, of two years ago tomorrow, has just sued the Big Four R. R. for $15,000, in the Tippe canoe circuit court. He sustained a concussion of the spinal cord and various injuries and claims to be still incapacitated. He is probably about the last of the badly injured in this wreck whose claim against the railroad has not been settled or sued on. Our own badly injured, young townsman, Emory ..Mills, is understood to have effected a private settlement with the company, but the exact terms of which have never been made public.

Politics In the Tenth.

Perhaps there is not a district in Indiana where politics is not as prominently to the fore alright here in the Tenth congressional district where almost every man of any prominence has spells when the bees buzz in his hat. Just now the daily papers are telling of those who aspire to succeed Congressman E. D. Crutnpacker and whether true or not it is evident that Mr, Crumpacker, should he desire a renomination and election, will have a more difficult task confront him than last campaign. It is stated that State Senator Will R. Wood of Lafayette has a desire to be a member of congress, while Mr. Dyer a Lake county politician has similar views concerning himself. All kinds of stories are afloat concerning obligations due one politician to another and the shaping of political machinery is likely now under way for next year.—Wolcott Enterprise.

To Thoroughly Investigate.

A dispatch from Indianapolis says: * Gov. Hanly today named J. W. Noel, a prominent Indianapolis attorney George W. Durborow and State Auditor Warren Bigler as the members of a commission to commence at once a thorough and searching investigation of the state auditor’s office during Sherrick’s entire incumbency, from January, 1903, to Sept. 14, this year. Noel and Durborow each receive $25 daily. Further than this the governor will say nothing. It is confidentially believed that Bigler has found large errors that may put the former figures of the shortage in the background. If not this, it can hardly be surmised why the governor should take this unusual step. If possible, the investigation will be completed before Sherrick’s trial begins which was set for Nov. 27th.
