BRIEF LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

FBI BAY. A son was bprn Wednesday to Mrs. F. Archer, of Gifford. S. T. Comer and Swaney Makeover went to Lafayette on business today. Miss \ ellie McCarthy returned to Danville, 111., today after a visit of several weeks with her parents here. _ Miss Ivy Irvin returned to her home in Chicago today after a visit •of two weeks with Miss Bessie Eger. ij A marriage licenses, reported in this issue, shows that a marriage of a prominent couple of just north of town, is a certainty of the very near future. Misses Jessie Pulver and Yera Hill, of Lowell, who have been visiting at Monticello, are now in Rensselaer, guests of Dr, and Mrs. Kresler. Mrs. Kate Lewis of Danville, 111, who accompanied her son Don to Rensselaer, where he attends St Josephs College, left today for Fort Wayne, for a short visi. Mr. and Ralph Fendig left last night on their regular winter trip to the south, and will spend the next three or four months with their sons at Brunswick, Georgia, and their daughter at Tampa, Florida. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hayes, of near Blackford, left today for a ten day’s visit at Marion with their daughter May, at Muncie with their son Will, and in Wayne county with Mrs. Hayes’ relatives.

0. E. Jolly aud wife of near Francesviile, eatne over today for a short stay. He is the new owner of the Hershman store building and stock, but will not open up in business for two or three weeks yet. The local ice-packers who have had their lightning rods up for a zero wave to strike them, for some time past, seem still to be destined to wait a while, as the coldest of the present cold spell was still 18 above zero. Graves, of Warsaw, the man who has been after ex-trustees, recommends that the law be changed and that trustees be pud a fixed salary of more liberal proportions than ilhey now receive, and that their accounts be examined twice a year. He also recommends that the salaries of the advisory boards be increased. Mrs. C. J. Daugherty, wile of the sheriff of Lake county, and himself a former well known resident of this p ace, is lying at the pointofdeath at Crown Point, if her end has not already come, from sickness following confinement. The child lived but a few minutes. If she does not live she will leave three little children, the oldest only five years old. Six of hfe old soldier comrades from Rensselaer attended the fun- ] eral of Abe Campbell, at Parr, Thursday, and officiated as pallbearers. Namely D, H. Yeoman, J. A. Burnham, R. H. Grow, Prior Rowen, J. H. Thornton and Fred Stocksick. And in spite of the severity of the weather, they went with the funeral the long drive to Prater cemetery where the interment took place. The funeral services were very simple and short, as no minister was present Harry Kendall, of Fair Oaks, the party who filed the affidavits against the Brohardts and others recently, for disturbing a Christmas tree entertainment, about Christmas Lime, was down last night making complaint against Alva Brohardt, who he claims to have knocked him down, once or twice, a day or two ago. Alva was one against . whom the previous,

affidavits were filed, but who has so far avoided arrest. No promise was made when another attempt would be made to capture him. Green Thornton and Ed Bruce are the champion farm selling and "buying men of this vicinity, and though we had ptevioasly supposed that Green was several laps ahead of his competitor, yet Ed says it is not so, and that Green’s recent sale makes them j ust even, and that it is really Green’s next move, for he has not bought another farm yet. Ed, however, is JJJnot really anxious to sell again, as he is now owner of the farm next to the old Bruce home farm, and it suits him first But if he does take a notion to sell, he has a standing offer up his sleeve of about $3,000 more than he paid, a number of years ago.

The big beet sugar factory at Lamar, Colorado, of which our greatly esteemed former townsman, D. B bowels, is one of the chief magnates, started to grind ont the finished product, for the first time, on Friday, Oct. 13; and this combination of hoodoos of Friday and 13 has so badly queered the whole works, that it has been running Light aaddayeyer since, turning out a 100 pound sack of sugar every 20 seconds: This is three such sacks every minute, 60 every hour, and 1,440 every day. And that is 144,000 pounds every 24 hours, and nobody can deny but that is “going some,” on the sugar proposition. The sugar business is causing a great growth of Lamar, and about 100 new houses have been built there the past year. Mr. Newels has been handing to some of his friends here, neat sample boxes of their sugar, from the very first 100 pound sack they turned out. It is an excellent quality, of the best granulated sugar, such as our enterprising merchants here advertise at some pounds or more for sl. Mr. Nowels is confident that Colorado is soon sure to be the great sugar state of the nation, and he has good reasons for the faith that is in him.

SATURDAY L. B. Josserand, of Monon, was in town on business, today. 6. T. Plummer, of New York City, went to Chicago, today, after a two weeks’ visit with his sister, Mrs. S. C. Irwin. Mrs. Rettie Sharp is improving from her very dangerous sickness, and strong hopes are now felt that she will get up again. Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Nowels took their departure for their at Lamar, Colorado, this morning, after a weeks visit here. The present spell of weather has seemed pretty severe, because of the high wind, but the temperature has not really been at all low, the lowest last night being 21 degrees, Charles Duvall, now of Alberta, Canada, and son ofS. H. Duvall, is visiting his various relatives here. His father who is uow at Grand Rapids, Mich., will be here next week, for a visit. Robert Yeoman, who sold his house on Trout street, to A'eter Vart Lear, has bought a lot on Cullen street, just north of the Free Baptist church, of Bruce White, aud will proceed to erect himself a new house thereon just as rapidly as the weather will permit. Mrs. Ben F. Edwards, of Chicago is visiting her mother Mrs. Jos. Rowen, and her sister Mrs. Long, for a few days. Her husband is now employed in the Monon depot, at Chicago, bat they intend to move on a farm near Pontiac, Hl‘* about March Ist. Marvin Kuhns, who was pardoned by Gov. Herrick of Ohio on Christmas day, was married Saturday afternoon at Affiion, Ind*, to

i Mrs. Kate Hagans, a widow, who has long been a friend of the former outlaw. He will embark in business at Churubusco, where the officers Shot him down in 189$ when he was first captured. Governor Hanly has just announced a long list of appointments oi members of the boards tbat fdvern the various state institutions. Abiong the number was the reappointment of B. F. Louthaiu, of the Logansport Pharos, as a trustee of the Normal school at Terre Haute, and Warren T. Me Cray, of Kentland for another term as a trustee of the Northern Insane Hospital of that city.

G. E. Murray now gives |notice that he will move his stores into his new building on January 22nd. He has spared no money, pains nor brains, in the construction of this building, and when he gets into it he can truly say that but few merchants in place of this size, are in better built, or more convenient and well arranged places of busi ness, then he. And it will be his own building, too, always a great source of solid satisfaction to any enterprising business man. Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Clarke, of Buchanan, Mich., are now here for a lew days visit with friends and relatives ot the latter. was formerly Miss Myrtie Chipman, and a resident of onr city most of her life, and for several years omof the operators at our telephone exchange. She was married to Mr. Clarke last June, although very few people here had been informed ~ mt - r ----- * t s-w-iv. .f» V# V uer marriage, until this vist. Mr Liarke is an engineer at the water works at Buchanan.

The Medaryville Advertiser has the following concerning Mrs. J G. McGimpsey, who was formerly Miss Lillian Nowels, of Rensselaer: “Mr. and Mrs. J. G. McGimpsey, of Plymouth, lad., were here several days this week, the guests of the former’s mother, Mrs. Mary C. McGimpsey. It will be remembered that while on their way homo bound from their last visit here Mrs. McGimpsey was painfully injured, while on the train, near San Pierre, and she stayed a number of weeks in a Chicago hospital. She has almost completely recover ed and it in only at sudden changes in the weather that she still feels the effects of those injuries. The Monon Co., we understand, paid her a round thousand dollars, to pay the doctor bill,etc.”

A large andience greeted Luty Tyler Gates, at the opera house Friday night, she being the third number in the Library Lecture conrse. Lain has some able asher company, bat they are really thrown in for good measure. They are good features, but really not needed, for she is a whole show by herself, and a mighty good one, too. She had the audience coming her way from the first glance they got of her sweet, smiling, almost baby like face. They would shout, langh and encore at the first indication of a smile, and prepare to shed tears at the first sign of a pathetic look. But she is too wise and kind«nd too genuinely a good feeler, herself, to deal mnch in the pathetic, and what few stories she tells in that line, have a good ending, and most of her pieces are fanny from start to finish. Lula is aLulu, and no mistake; she is a marvel and the best entertainer in her line that ever struck this town. Ebba Iljertstedt, the yonng Swedish violinist, is also a marvel in her tray and does things as queer as her name, with here violin, and produces from it such a wonderful variety of different: sounds, as coold scarcely seem possible. The singer and the pianist in the company, are also pleuty good enough aud all combined, they put up au entertainment which fully bears out the statement of the Slayton Bureau agent, (that it is the best of the whole scries.

HONDA!. i 'i*i Rev. iL. R Harper has gone to Michigan, to begin a series of evangelical meetings Born this Monday, Jan. Bth, to Mr. and Mrs. N. Littlefield, on 0 alien street, a daughter.

Clarke, of Buchanan, Mich., left for that place | this mtorniag) after a week’s visit with friends and relatives here. Anson Cox went back to his work at Chicaga Heights this morning, after a couple of weeks’ stay with his family here. J. E. Bislosky has completed the erection of some very good coal sheds at his location on Front street and evidently expects to be a permanent fixture there. ■ .1 J. W. Williams has gone to Chicago for a week’s stay to visit his daughter, Mrs. C. H. Porter, and to attend a meeting of the National Retail Furniture association, to be held there four days, this week. Roy Grayson, who mixed in a fight in the Levee about a month ago, and since then has kept him self in the secure fastness of Barkley tp., where he is working, ventured in last Saturday night, and Officers Vick and Parks waltzed him up to Judge Irwin’s Office. He plead guilty and got $1 and costs, $10.40 in all which he paid. A. D. Washburn, who lately made a trip toTexasand Oklahoma with his brother, bought 320 acres, of improved land, near Altus, Oklahoma.

John Hunter, a young man engaged in the carpenter’s trade went to Chicago this morning, on tne early train, suffering from a severe attack of appendicitis, and intending to go to some hospital, as a prompt operation was considered necessary, if his life is saved. He was accompanied by a youflg man from Tennessee his own former home. Hunter was married here on Christmas day, to Miss Theresa Lorentz. The Chicago p ipars say that th Weather Bureau has sent notice that a temperature of ten below zero is dne in that city tonight. If it gets there on schedule time, it can be expected here not mnch later. By the way, the weather seems to be playing its old prank of getting colder in a streak of country in this region than any place else. Thus both the Chicago and the Indianapolis papers state that the coldest yet experienced this winter either place is far above zero. Yet the official thermometer here registered half a degree below zero the morning before Christmas; and Harvey f>exter, who keeps close the weather up in the cold corner of Uuiou township, says his thermometer hit two below zero that same morning, which is good evidence that the official mark here was not too low.

The church people saw the point when the minister read from the pnlpit the list of donors to the building fund andjjsince the dedication of the church there have been no mail orders sent ont ftom tba Kansas town..
