Schooner, of Marseilles, came today to attend the funeral of Claud Leek. Sam Duvall 6tid sou Charley left today for thei# ffdttte in Alberta, Canada, after a Visit of Consider, able length aitlt their numerous relatives here. The morning Subject Battle Pres byterian cbureh will * f A Man’s own Badness.” Hvhffiftg subject “D niel a OhanMwf study.” Everybody welcome. "Work of drilling blast holes in the river was resumed again yesterday, after a delay of two days to repair the damage to the engine and pipes done by the lightning Monday. B. J. Moore, in charge of the river blasting force, was called to Monon today, by a message that his mother Who is in her 84th year, had fallen on the icy street and fractured two ribs, and otherwise injured htrself. Low and Charley Harmon went to Ottawa, 111., this afternoon to attend the funeral of their uncle, Joeeph n Harmon, their father’s youngest brother. He died yesterday after an extended sickness of stomach trouble. The funeral will be held Saturday. It is stated that the report of the committee that has been investigating the state officers will recommend the creation ode new office to belfttuwnas the state controller, whose -duty wiU be to audit all transactions between the departments. The suggestion came as the result of the ,8 her rick and Storms disclosures. Wm. Coovert, aged 93 years died yesterday morning at his home in Mt Ayr, of a complication of diseases resulting from old age'. He had been totally blind and quite feeble for five years. He was an uncle of Mrs. Benj. Harris and Mrs. Will Wisbard. of Rensselaer. Two sons, J. H., of Richmond, and J. L., of Valparaiso, came to attend the funeral to be held at 10 o’clock Saturday morning. The Montioplfo Democrat, which mentioned . Ijtensselser’s big boy, now speaks of one over at Ih>,val Center, whom the Record of that place thinks is the champion big boy. He is 15 years old. 6 feet tall and weighs 175 pounds. He is quite a sizable kid, for a fact, but our Moore boy is two years younger and though not so hrgn up as the Royal Center boy is much broader out, and weighs 12 pounds more. Evidently our boy has the Royal Center chap badly beaten. v ;The George Keister illegal liquor sale oase came up before Squire Thorntons at 10 o’clock this morning, but was continned till afternoon. The jury box had been filled by spectators in the oourt room, bat the defense objected to them, on the ground that they were too much interested in the case, or else they would not buvo been there. The adjournment w ts therefore granted, * to permit the Constable to pick np a jury outside the court room. The . trial was ‘ not finished when we wfent to press.

The band concert at the opera house last night was a very success ful affair,’ in point of performance, though it had to be given without the aid of Prof. White who had been called to Marion as a witness in a law case. The attendance was hardly what it; should have been, bat better thing are hoped for next time, which will be in two weeks. The members greatly appreciated the encouragement they received from St Joseph’s college, there being some 12 or 15 professor and students present. The only dogomobile in Jasper oounty and probably in Indiana, is seen on our streets these icy days. It is composed of p big yellow dog at one end and a small, bat lively boy at the other, and is thrown into gear, so to speax, when the boy’s band ‘‘engages” as the machine with the dog’s |tail, the boys feet being provided with skates. When thus they go down the center of the icy' streets at about a 15 miles per hour speed,. The dog, which is big and strong, seems to enjoy the experience as much as the boy, and testifies his pleasure by load and joyous barks. r ' r ~~i — rr ~ ~-~y i —> : —. The Mrs. Dr. Morris, whose recent ejectment from the White House, after she had refused to leave until she had seen the President who had Reclined to see her, and whose case was used by TiUman in bis blackguardly attack on Roosevelt, has relatives in Rensselaer. She and her brother, Congressman Hall, jo lowa, are second cousins f Mrs, Kindig, wife of Rev Dr. H. L. Kindig, pastor of the M. E. church here. Mrs. Morris and her brother are at enmity, and it was through him, it is -said, that Mrs. Morris’s husband lost a position at Washington, and on account of which she wanted “to see tho president

The ease of the little Seeleyville boy, Richmond -Byers, whose abdnetion in the spring of 1904 was familiar to onr readers at the time, H v • . . : because of searches made for him then ip this vi inity, his just been brought to public attention again. A barber in some place ia Missouri got hold of a stray boy whom he was sure was the little Byers boy, asd so Informed, his parents at Seeleyville. [The description and pietnres seemed to tally so closely that gi eat hopes were raised that it was the right boy, and a friend was sent to Missouri, to bring the boy back. When he arrived however it was seen at once that it was not the right boy. Mr. Byers himself had no faith in the new diseovery, bnt his wife had her hopes raised tp a high degree and her disappointment was correspondingly great. People by thousands had assembled at Seeleyville when the supposed lost boy arrived.

SATURDAY

Milo Miller, of Mt Ayr, whose arrest was mentioned, gave bail and wis released. It is understood that his brother, Wm Millef, went on his bond. Roy Shepard announces that he leased the paper for a year, and that Mr. Kilt will remain as one of the editors bnt have no business interest in it during the time. Mrs. S. A Hemphill Las been quite dangerously sick for a number of days, with bronchitis but today her Symptons are considerably more favorable. George Ade and bis traveling companion, O. O. Kent, of KentI and, are going to start on another long trip, this time to France, Italy, Egypt ® n d the Nile. Their steamer was to have started today. The coldest day we had this week Tom Richardson telephoned in frpm his place in Barkley, that {he had just seen a robin, aud that

he felt sore we would have some weather soon. ,We seem to be having itall right A. J. Bellows, of Carpenter Tp., now sojourning in Chicago with a daughter, has rented A, Parkison’s tenant house on Forest street, now occupied by A. D. Washburn, and wiU move into it as soon as the latter moves toKentland. about t March Ist Goodland Herald: Mr. and Mrs Geo. Bales started for Virginia Monday where they will visit with relatives of Mjr. Bales. It was reported later that they met with au accident in the nature of collison While on their way, but no one was hurt. We were not able to obtain lull particulars. Rev. J. B. Bair, the retiring pastor o 1 the Baptist church here, has traded his residence here for a stock of goods at Beaver City, in Newton county, and will move over there at once, and his son Floyd will have the active management of the store. Mr. Bair himself will continue his ministerial labors, as pastor of a church at Beaver City. “Oh, how would you like to be the ice-man?” Probably not extra well this balmy spring day if you were depending on old Boreas and the river for your ice supply. But if yop expected to handle artificial, ice you oould like Unde Marsh War ner, “still smile and smile and be a willin’ ’’—for the warm weather to continue all winter. Footballl has been abolished at Harvard pending a reform in the game that will make it acceptable to the board of overseers. It is thought that many colleges and schools over the country will follow in Harvard’s lead. The game is pot to be passed up for all time, bnt merely long enough to work ont needed reforms. There was «n error made infja previous issue in stating that Mrs. Lizzie Kaub, our former primary teacher, had gone to Kansas, to stay with relatives. She had been visiting her brother T. J. Richardson, of Valma, and is now visiting Rensselaer friends. She is preparing to go west in a few days, however, and expects to spend the winter with another brother in Nebraska.

A. D. Washburn mid family, who for several years have been much esteemed residents of Rensselaer, are preparing to move back to Kentland, their former home, in a short time, and will occupy property he has recently purchased there. He is to have charge of G. 0. Kent’s large interest at, Kentland who is away ranch, of his time traveling.; Today,s high temperatnre was a record breaker whether it proves to be a “weather breeder” or not. Attwop.rn. it was 67 degrees. The highest January temperature daring our four preceding winters was 56 degrees, on Jau. 29, 1903, aud the highest for any of the three winter months during those four winters, and also including the present winter np to today, was 57 degrees, on Dec., 281904. Thus today ißfnll 10 degrees warmer than on any of thirteen proceeding winter months; and 12 degrees warmer than on any day of the four former Januaries.

MONDAY.

Miss Edna Thompson left for Colorado, this morning, for several weeks’ visit, at different points. Geo. E. Murray and Charley Simpson, head of his future grocery department, went to Chicago today to buy goods. Born, Saturday Jau. 22. to Mr. and Mrs. Ord Yeoman, on the Wallace Murray farm, in Barkley Tp. a son. The total rainfall in the two days rain which ended this morning, was 1.44 inches. That it did not turn to snow before it quit was one time when wo were lucky. The weather bureau prophecied a drop in temperature in Chicago Saturday night, of 60 degrees, but the drop did not some, bunt a large fall in temperature is almost inevitable aft<sr the unusual heat and heavy rains. Rev.* W. H. Flagg’s meetings at Rosebud church, practically closed

Sunday night and resulted in eight addition to the church. A “Good Night” service andLord’ssupper will be held Thursday night. Dr. J. S. Bitler who was expect ed to begin revivals meetings at Trinity M. R church failed to reach here. He was detained in South Dakota where he had been called last week but telegraphed from there that he would be here next Wednesday and will hold his first service Wednesday evening. So that he is expected without failure on next Wednesday?

Last Saturday, when it was 67 degrees here it was 65 in Chicago, and that, according to the weather bureau records, was the warmest January weather since 1876, a period ot 30 years. The phenomenally warm weather extended all over the country east of the Mississippi. The heat continned all night, the lSWest reached Saturday uight being 52 degrees. Neighbor McEwen, of the Democratic Sentinel, in his paper of Jan. 13th, reprints his salutatory when he first blossoming ont as as editor, just 50 years before. That was as the editor of a paper in Clinton, Clinton county, Penn., and he has been in the newspaper business ever since. In Ibis old time salutatory, he devotes most of it to defining his political principles, and to expressing his unfaltering devotion to the Deqjpcratic -party; and he prances and snorts like a war horse, smelling the smoke of battle afar off, when he speaks of the opposition party, and tells ot what he is going to do to it when he gets in action. And as evidence that his fight was effective, he now adds that Clinton county went strongly Democratic that fall. Bnt unless politicians were very much different then than from what they are now, we venture to say that he got mighty little thanks or reward for swinging his 'county in line for Democracy.

G. W* Strickland, bow of Laurens lowa, was visit ing old acquaintances hero Saturday, having made a Short stop while on his way back from a visit around from his boyhood home in Warren county. He formerly lived some miles northwest of town for about 8 years, bnt moved to lowa 12 years ago. While here he was in the ditching business, making a narrow bat deep open ditch with a huge plowlike. machine, propelled by a capstan worked by horses. He still follows the same occupation in lowa, there being a great demand for ditches in that part of the state. It had been 20 years sinee he visited old scenes in old Warren, and though he coaid not exactly say that he came unto his own and his own received him not, yet he did pretty nearly have to produce an affidavit every time to make his old neighbors believe it was him. The explanation was that when he left
