BRIEF LOCAL HAPPENINGS

FRIDAY Born Thursday. Jan. 3rd, ti Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher, near Aix, a daughter. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Williams of three miles east of town. returned home today after a few days visit with friends at Delong, Ind. Col. E. T. Jones, the fiery as well as humorous Kentucky editor of the Monon News was in town today, to accompany home his daughter who had been here on a visit. Ike Myers, former superintendent of Carroll county, has been over here a couple of days visiting his cousin, the dentist, and doing some business in the life insurance line. According to the Monticello Journal, Tony Strick faden has disposed of his saloon business in Monon to a Monticello man, but •whether by lease or purchase the Journal was not informed. Miss Bessie Davis returned to DuPauw University at Greencastle, today. So far as learned she is the only one of Rensselaer’s present college delegation whose name was omitted in the list given last week. Bert Brenner, who is quite a poultry enthusiast, went 'to Lafayette ioday to attend a poultry show there and to drum up some more exhibits for the poultry show and pet stock show here next week. Miss Rose Platt returned to Danville, 111., today after a visit with her fajher Uncle Charley Platt She is now manager ofaprosperous hoarding house at Danville. Harry Zimmerman, of Fair Oaks and dean of the Monon night operators corps of this division, is taking two or three weeks rest and spending most of it with his parents here. , Trustee Chapman and Attorney Foltz h id their trip to Hammond for nothing yesterday, as on arrival there they found Referee Bowers too sick to hear the case. He had sent a telegram about his sickness but it was not received in time. He set Wednesday of next week as the next date for the hearing. The proposed plan of printing the name of the office selling the stamp upon the face of Uncle Sam’s postage stamps Alli not materialize according to a Washington dispatch sent out the other day. The plan would involve the outlay of over 155,000, and no order to that effect has been issued by the department. Uncle Charley Sternberg came in from South Bend last night and will spend a few days seeing how the boys are getting along with the big dredge on the big ditch. They seem th be making good progress, however, as they are now several hundred feet past the Halligan bridge and fairly started on the two mile home stretch to Rensselaer. D. H. Yeoman has been up north of Wheatfield all the week helping his partner E. V. Farmer get their dredge boat ready tc start in the Wheatfield ditch. He left everything ready and it was intended to today. The bad roads with , consequent difficulty in hauling have caused considerable

Jo in Si'o hl, hia i of the Joh I Strodel Company, cf Huntington, Ind., was visiting among car mer chants last night and today. He is a very enterprising merchant and is journeying around a little at this dull season right holi days, picking up new pointers from other enterprising business men, in order to keep abreast of all the improved methods. Rensselaer is surely a good town tq meet with other enterprising and successful merchants. A Fresno county, California, jury has just awarded what is said to be the Jargest verdict ever awarded against a railroad in a personal injury ease. It gave Williard Zib--bell, or what was left of him, in his suit against the Southern Pacific railroad 8100,000 for personal in juries sustained. In July, 1905, Zibbell, who is a race horse driver, was struck by a box car in the freight yards and lost his left arm, his right hand, his left leg at ’the hip and his right foot.

Today’s gloriously bright su n shine comesas a mighty welcome change after eight successive days of unbroken cloudiness during which time not so much as a single glance has been had of the sun in this region. Il is a very rare occurence when we have so long a period) of wholly unbroken cloudiness. The - northwesterly winds which have cleared away the clouds and fog have brought considerable colder weather, but not nearly cold enough to meet expectations caused by the weather bureau’s predictions of colder weather. • The following prizes were awarded last night at the Catholic fair: Werner Miller, a hog; Leona Kolhoff, 100 cigars; John F. Walters, pair ladies fine shoes; J. J. Garrity, Mt. Ayr, toilet and manicure set; Mrs. Bertha Lesh, adjustible sewing stand; Mrs. George Borntrager, rug; James E.

Tonight’s bill of fare will be an oyster supper. SATURDAY Tha brand of imported Pacific coast weather we have been having today is the southern California article, right hot offithe bat. The following parties were awarded premiums at the Catholic fair last evening: Joe Borntrager stove, Fred Phillips furs, George ReusCh overcoat, David Hochstetler Mt. Ayr, stove, Ed.

Eger hog, Frank Weging clock, Peter Hordeman Sr., beef, James Prohasky jardi-. nier, Frank Weging hat. The statement that U. B. Kellogg was at once sentenced and sent to the pen after his conviction, tho it was sent out from Lafayette, was an error, and the Lafayette Journal today says that an effort would be made by Daniel P. Flanagan, prosecuting attorney to ascertain what action Kellogg’s attorneys intend to take. His attorneys have thirty days in which to file a motion for a new trial, and Mr. Flanagan intended to find out, if he could, what they intend to do about it Kellogg is still in jail at Lafayette. J. C. Gwin, the lumber dealer, has a hew lumber shed and office building all ready to move into. It is located Boutheast, dT his present shed and office, and on the corner of Vine and Dayton streets. The main shed is 58 by 100 feet in size, and there is an office room 14 by 14 feet and three dry rooms for windows, doors and specially fine lumber, each 14 by 30 feet. All together it makes one of the best retail lumber yard buildings in thia section of the state. He will continue to use his old sheds on the north side of the street but the old office will be abandoned.

George Strick faden is over from Muncie today, and when he goes back will take his family with him. They will live in the hotel for the present, arid’he will not mave his household goods, but leave them in his house here until he has de-, cided whether he is likely to remain in Muncie permanently or not. He stares that his brother Tony has sold his saloon at Monon and will now go to for ■ several weeks and give all his time to having his eyes treated, which have been very time, and one ot them having nearly lost its sight. Mrs. V. O Patterson, who was here visit! g and other relatives during the holidays, was formerly Miss Pearl Blue, daughter of sir. and Mrs. Phillip Blue, of our city, and the fact of her marriage was not generally known here until her visit' She has been teaching school at Broken Bow, Neb., this season, and on Thanks giving Day was married in Omaha to V. O. Patterson, of New Boston, HL, at which place she taught last year. After the marriage she went back to Broken Bow to finish out her teaching contract and her husband returned to his business at New Boston. Mr. and Mrs. Homer Faris, o Wilsonville, Neb , left for that place today, after a few days visit with various relatives here, mostly of the Porter family. He is a son of Calvin Faris, a former well know resident of the immediate vicinity of Rensselaer, but located in Wilsonville for quite a number of years. Homer still knew a good thing when he had seen it, even tho it may have been many years ago, so he came back to Indiana for a wife. She was Miss Clara Klepter, and their marriage took place on New Years Day, at Oaklandon, near Indianapolis. They came here directly after the wedding. Rufus and Martin Warner, or Thunder City, Idaho, are here visiting their various relatives of the Warner family for a few day. They were bom in Rensselaer but left here 29 years ago, when about three and two years old respectively. And they are not only thus considerably older than when they left here, but evidently some larger, as Rufus is six feet two in bight and weights 240, and Mart is close after him five feet 11 inches. Thunder Ciiy is on their land and they have a saw mill on it which they are'about to replace with a larger one which they bought at St. Louis on this trip. They are sons of Martin V. B. Warner who is a brother of Norman, J. P. and M. P. Warner, of our city. ' MONDAY. The new day operator and general assistant to Station Agent Beam arrived and began work Sunday. He is E. E. Erwin, and he came from Mitchell, Ind., here.

Dak., today, after some weeks visit in this vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Goff went to Chicago today, aud the latter will also visit friends in Crown Point for a few days, before she leaves for Hot Springs, Ark., for the rest of the winter. Henry Whitaker. of Hammoud. formerly of this county, was Friday reappointed by Gov.

E.. church will hold their monthly “At Home” at the residence of Mrs. L. C. Benjamin bn north -Cullen street on Tuesday afternoon from 2to 5. Strangers are especially invited. The body ©f Mrs Daisy Willis Hawkins arrived Friday evening from Anderson and the funeral was held Srturday afternoon, at Trinity M. E. c hurch, by the pastor Rev. E. L. and was largely attended. Inter meut was made in Weston cemetery. x Estel and Ray Markin arrived home Sunday iiom their summer's stay around Mitchel. S. Dak., and to which place "they intend to re turn next spring. When they left there the thermometer was 12 degrees below zero and a foot of snow on the ground. When they reach ed here it was 60 degrees above zero, and a foot and a half of mud on the ground. EL B. Osgood, coroner at Brocton, New York, is holding the body of a young man who suicided there, on Dec. 8, in hopes to locate his relatives. His name was E. C. Krausgrell or E. C. -Kraogrell, and the coroner thinks, he may have c>me from some place in this region. He was about 25 years, old, and 5 feet 10 or 11 inches tall. W. A. Rinehart was in town again today. Tom likes his out door job connected with the prison farm all right. Mr. Rinehart is said to have told parties here that Tom has at last had his eyes open and that he now says if he had it to do over again he would try to keep his promises to the bank creditors and let them had the money he wasted on the Lafayette attorneys. He now blames them mainly for the plight he is in. Sunday was a remarkably fine day for the time of the year, tho it lacked the elements of sunshine to make it perfect. The temperature reached 61 degrees, and was very uniform all day. No one thought of needing an overcoat, and occasionally men and boys were out in their shirt sleeves. Today started in plenty warm, but soon began to rain, the rain being ushered in by several claps of thunder. W. H. McDoel, president of the Monon lines, has just completed his twenty second year of official service on that road. He begau as general freight agent, then was made general superintendent and in 1897 was elected president of the company. Since his election he has been a careful student of the needs of the road and has done much to develop its business and place the property on a paying basis. Persons from away who attended the Mrs. Hawkins funeral Saturday were Charles Farmer, of Anderson, Mr. Hawkins’ uncle, and Mrs. Ida Hawkins, his sisterin law, from Logansport. Their two little girls, Rheba-aged four and Mary aged two, and the baby of two weeks, are all at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. I Willie, here and will be given a home with them for the present. The baby was prematurely born, but seems well aud strong and with good prospect for growing up. F.
