Local Happenings.

FRIDAY Miss Jesse Stephenson returned to Chicago yesterday, after a visit of two weeks with her mother here. Thos. Crockett and W. F. Pow- • ers returned today from Ft. Wayne where they attended the Q. A. R. encampment. The Lowell Tribune in writing up the St. Joe base ball game, says could not defeat ten men, when one of them was the umpire. As the score was 8 to 1, it does not aeem probable that the tenth man -did it all. Monticello is getting the base ball fever right now, and have strenghtened up tlieir team for two -days this week by hiring two players from Logansport. St. Joe goes op against them Saturday. Father George Heldman, the eloquent and patriotic priest at the college, will go to Elwood Sunday to deliver the memorial sermon to the G. A.R.The service will be held in the Catholic churoh at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Attorney Geo. E. Hershman today vacated the office he has been occupying in the L O. O. F. building, preparatory to his removal to Oklahoma, where he will take up his future residence. He will visit his father in the north part of the county for about three weeks before leaving for the west Contractor E. G. Warren, who is figuring on the contract to build the new Christian church at Kentland, ! went to Chicago today to confer I with the church building committee in the office of the architect The church is planned much the same as the new Christian church, here, but is not so large. Its cost will be about SIO,OOO. Extra fancy Michigan potatoes all sound no sprouts 80 oents. CHICAGO BARGAIN STORE. Those who attended the G. A. R. -encampment at Ft Wayne report a very pleasant time. The parade

Thursday was a fine one, the day being very beautifhl. Comrade Crockett brought us a copy of tie Journal-Gazette of today which is practically all devoted to a report of the encampment. Kokomo gets the 1908 encampment. Word comes from Chicago Heights that on Wednesday evening of this week Mr. John Sharp, son of Joseph Sharp, of this place, and Miss Lizzie Watson, also formerly of Rensselaer, were married there. Both had been working there for several months. They are very excellent young people and their many friends here will be pleased to learn of their marriage.

J. F. Irwin, was driving in the the country Thursday and ran over a rattle snake which he brought to town. Some high school boys were not slow to realize its zoological value and took it to the school house where it will be stuffed and placed inthe large natural museum. Seven rattles and a button constituted this snake’s accumnlation. A new Indiana law provides that whoever throws or dumps any tin cans, old iron, brush, boxes, tools machinery, vehicles, rubbish, brick, wood, logs, glass bottles, jars or debris of an sort upon or within the limits of any publlo highway, except by the direction of the township trustee, is liabel to a fine of SSO.

Joseph Guest, the itinerant peddler of groceries and especially of coffee, tea and spices, who was arrested here yesterday and fined for failure to take ont a license, soon wearied of his expressed intention of laying out his fine in jail. He was very angry when arrested and talked so fast he telescoped his words, but he made it very plain that he proposed making the city pay dearly for his incarceration. The inhospitable appearance of the jail, however, soon brought him around to the cashing np point. He then went about town- completing his deliveries. Many people here have thoughtlessly been a patron of Guest for’many years, paying him as much and often more for goods than the local merchants sell them for. The aggregate of his business was not large, but the local merchant pays taxes here, spends his money here, contributes to local charities, is interested in the welfare of the city, and deserves the business of the townspeople. The ordinance requiring peddlers to take out a license has been drafted with a view to the protection of the home merchant and should be enforced. Persons should take a local pride in building up the commercial interest of the city by giving the store keepers all their trade to the .exclusion of peddlers from oat of town.

... - ± O. F. McKay made a business visit to Hammond today, Mrs. A. G. Catt went to Thayer today for a short visit with her parents.

If Japan keeps her head, as we think most probable, there will never be any difficulty between that country and this, but each government’s ambitions for the beet national results will be inspired to higher accomplishments by the industry of the other. Meedames J. Q. Alter, Maria Hopkins, George Maines and J. C. Porter, members of the local Ladies of the G. A. R. Circle, and Meedames P. W. Clark, Will Childers, John Duvall and Jesse Nichols, of

C. ladies returned home this afternoon. The Auditor of State is watching the over draft reports sent in from various banks with a supervision that is surprising even to the most conservative banker. As a result many banks are getting notices to cut down their over drafts and depositors who occasionally over checked their account are now finding their checks not honored when the money is not on deposit to make The payment. This law was enacted to stop such financial failures as the McCoy bank at Rensselaer and the Gilman bank at Goodland when the over draft of one individual was $40,000, not speaking of the dozen of other over drafts of the other banks.-Praneesville Tribune The funeral of Mrs. Charles H. Price took place at 10 o’clock yesterday morning. Rev.

Two Splendid Senmons Suday.

Large andinnees attended hoth special services Sunday, that of Memorial at the M. EL church in the morning and of the Baecalau reate at the Christian ehmreh in the evetHwy.—; ’ 1 v '.r: : .. . ..i'.;— R. D. Utter, formerly for several years pastor of the M. E. church at this place, now retired from active pastoral charge, and who makes his home in South Bend, preached the Memorial, and was given the closest attention of the large audience. It was a sermon that combined the highest type of patriotism to conntiy with righteousness, and picturing the advantages of American citizen ship that deserved our loyalty and made ours the best country beneath the sun, he praised God for the victories of our past wars and in the most eulogistic language ad vocated the planting of the American flag always higher, improving the government that is founded up on it, anS holding just above it the cross of Jesus Christ. This fine historian and scholar, though suffer ing from a recent severe attack of the grip, never appeared to better advantage, and the service was one long to be remembered.

The seating capacity of the Christian church was taxed to the utmost in the evening. The special music by the High School chorus under the direction of Miss Queen Perry, the petite and competent little music instructor in the schools, was very fine. The program as printed was carried out. Rev. Clark advised against ambiton tin t sought either riches, pleasure or glory for what they alone represented, quoting from men of international fame and of all the ages to show that disappointment is the unvarying result of their accom plishments. The real ideal should be for the doing of things that will make the world better, accepting such rewards as a life of usefulness is sure to receive from the Giver of Life. First let the scholar view the future and its needs and then seeking the advise of the Lord labor with zealous determination not to be rich, nor to live a life of pleasure, nor to live for the plaudits of men, but having made the world better by their living, to find the sweetest happiness in a consciousness of having lived aright, that in the judgment day they might have said to them, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.’’ Itching, torturing skin eruptions disfigure, annoy, drive one wild Doans Ointment brings quick relife and lasting cures.

MAKE MEMORIAL DAY PERMANENT.

*•' 11 • •• "• ' ns all help to make Memorial Day or Decoration Day, as it is generally spoken of, a perm a net in-titntion. The heroes of that fierce civil strife are fast pas-*img away and the time is fast coming on when there wiH be none of theee patriots who can perform the duties necessary t.» a proper observance of the day. We read much at American patriotism, and we believe in it. We believe that the hearts and minds of the American people have imbedded in them the deepest appreciation of the sacrifices of these grand old men, and that a touch of pathos must control every loyal breast when we see the faltering foot step* of tho»e once buoyant boys and contemplate their finaL passing from, scenes of aCti Vliy^— ■ ■=^-—Jr. \ve are a nation of hero worshipers and we love to lay our garlands of love and honor on the graves of oar nation*s saviors, and as we do this in memory of their valiant deeds we arc apt in retrospect to wonder what conditions might have been if onr heroes bad been less faithful and leas ardent. The thought serves to make us more appreciative and should do termiue us to contribute liberally* of our effort to perpetuate their memory. Let us all give approval to the observance of Memorial Day to the point of making personal sacrifices that we may aid those in charge ot the program, that the work may not be too heavy for these year bent shoulders.

Some organized effort must eventually be made to preserve the hallowed ceremonies of this dearest of all American days, and then it will be that the Sons of Veterans an order that has had so difficult a task in keeping to the front, must reorganize and find its greatest purpose and its chief delight in the labors that surround the observance of Memorial Day. Until that is made necessary let us aid the old soldiers who are left to us. Lot us all be a part of this year’s ceremonies.
