Rev. Charles J. Armentraut, of Evansville, has accepted a call from the Monticello Presbyterian church, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation recently of the former pastor, Rev. Rice who had been there for many years. John Sigler and wife, of Wheeler, and their niece, Miss Jessie Arnold, of Valparaiso, arrived on the 2 o’clock train"today and will go to Mt.

John Nagle and sisters, Josie and Celia, children of George Nagle, of Plymouth, were here yesterday to attend the funeial of their cousin Joe Miller. John returned home today, and the young ladies will remain tor a visit of about two weeks with relatives. M. J. Pierson, son of Henry Pierson, from over near Brook, was here a short time this morning on his way to Ft. Wayne, where he is attorney in a case that comes up there for trial. He was stationed at Ft. Wayne for some time but is not now certain that he will re locate there. Miss Winnie Crouch, a deaconness from the Young Women’s Bible Training School, oo Chicago, and who for the past three weeks has been staying with Miss Cordelia Monnett, went to Watseka, 111., today, to begin a weeks’ lecture course in an effort to interest young women in the school she represents, A. K. Sayler closed the deal while in Big Rapids, Mich., last week tor the 140 acre farm he had favored when he visited there before, and he will move there next spring. The farm is 21 miles just north of Bfg Rapids, a hustling city/ 016,000, inhabitants. Bayler thinks land values are certain to increase there within a short time. County Auditor J. £[. Leathermau and County Clerk O. O. Warner, owners of a NO acre farm in Carpenter tp., have decid-

ed to engage quite extensively in sheep and have just purchased of County Treasurer 8. R Nichols fifty head of ewes and yesterCay went over into Newton county and purchased of Geo. Ade and his brother Joe, two thorobred Shropshire rams. Geol Fulks is the farm tenant. If President Roosovelt had come to White county instead of going to Louisiana on his hunting trip he might have bagged a bear. There is one roaming in the Brown timber north of Wolcott and was seen by Mr. and Mrs. "Chas. Danford one day this week, while they were in the woods looking for smaller game. Mr. Danford says he was within shooting distance of Bruin, who looked to weigh about 175 pounds and was of the brown bear species. As he did not have with him a rifle Mr. Danford decided not to try a shot at the bear. It is probable that his bearship is a refugee from some circus or else once upon a lime belonged to some Dago bear trainer. —Wolcott Enterprise.

ty.' stating that he understood it had been advertised that he had been made an heir to some property in Germany.

Two pedestrians of rather superior order were in jail over night and given their bieakfasts this morning, and in consideration of the accommodation performed about two hours at street cleaning this morning under the supervision of Marshal Parks. One was a stranded Thespian, his show troupe having busted at Flora. He wanted to get back to his wife’s relation in Chicago. He was a song and dance artist but the marshal decided that a few hours on the streets would be more lasting than a vaudeville act and let him help the other ”£ellow who made no other claim than being an honest working man. Both were fairly well dressed.

Dobbins Played Great Foot Ball.

( From reports in the Bunday papers Homer Dobbins, last year's star high school football player, seetns to have been about the whole thing in the Wabash end. of the Wabash-Michigan game at Indianapolis last Saturday.

Michigan team named him as being responsible for the small score they made while be was in the game. X

He was removed and another player put in his place, the object being to give all the older players a chance to play in the game, but it was mighty bad policy on the part of Coach Cayou, and the Indianapolis Star points it out as the serious mistake of the game. Of coure, it is understood that there is lots of favortism in college athletics, and it is practically impossible for a new man to get into the game at all, and it is this fact, no doubt, that keeps Dobbins from playing half back, a place he is so particularly fitted for. His playing marks him as the best man on the Wabash team, and probably the best young player to enter any college of the state in recent years. It is very unfortunate that the three years agreement will keep him out of many of the games to be played by Wabash this year.

A Certain Cure for Croup-Used for Ten Years Without a Failure.

His children have all been subject to croup and he has used this remedy for the past ten years, and tho they much feared the croup, his wife and he always felt safe upon retiring when a bottle of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy was in the house. His oldest child was subject to severe attacks of croup, but this remedy rever failed to effect a speedy cure. He has recommended it to friends and neighbors and all who have used it say that it is unequaled for croup and whooping cough. For sale B. F. Fendig.

May Buy His Way Out of Army.

Charley Wiltshire came over from Columbus Barracks, Ohio, and returned io Chicago today. He had only a five days leave, and is spending part of it in Chicago, where he had been located for some years before joining the regular army. is not exactly displeased with the regular army, but he finds that he can do so much better on the outside that he is of a notion to buy his release, which would cost him 1120, and accept a good position he has had offen d him at Columbus. He is wearirg ! the new regulation uniform, which I is an olive-drab color and the same i goods and pattern as the officers’ uniform, except that the canvass leggings are worn. He carries an ebony swagger stick, tipped with nickle and about twentyfonr inches long, which serves the purpose of keeping the hands out of the pockets. He will be eligible to take an examination for a Mon at the end of two yeanf service, which is only six months away, but he does not know tha* -he will do it. He has been opting as company clerk since entering the service, bat receives only the private’s pay, which is 113 a month. Charley is too intelligent and a high-class a young man to devote many years of his life to the army at that price, and it is not improbable that he will get out shortly.

A windy day exhibits the real shape of the youth with the broad seated trousers. It might be a good idea and aid the morals of the city if one or two females were ordered to leave town.. At least one character has remained her% far beyond the period of toleration, and it has been wondered for a long time who would eventually get stung*. Traffic to t'.'.e never-close-up boozeries of the river section is apt to fall off if the Newton county grand jury is able to procure ■the™ names of Rensselaer Sunday visitors there. Newton county is doing a good turn to"KensseTaer by helping to clean up the river border of its own county. 1 purrrpKiii pie SCaSOft, 1116 only trouble with pumpkin pie is that ypu get it on your ears so badly when you eat it. Young fellows who call on, their girls these nights should have some consideration for the fellow who hustles the fuel. Widowers are said to be in the lead in the number of persons who have committed suicided. It is probable they are afraid that in a moment of weakness they might get married again. Women find lots of trouble in selecting a new hat, and their husbands find a lot of tronble in paying for them. When the Lord has provided a doctor and anti-toxin, He has done a large part of His duty in a diphtheria case, and there is no record of His ever having worked any miracles with any of the various faith fanatics in recent years.

BRIDGES BURNED NEAR REYNOLDS

[Continued from Frat Page]

!tbat it would have gone down under the weight of the train, and had the engineer not decided to investigate the Monon creek bridge the entire train would have beeS vfrecked there. It Was a very fortunate escape. ‘ Bert Josserand, who formerly lived near Renrselaer, resided very mear the. place where the train was (halted and he relieved the hunger of the passengers, especially the babies and children, by taking them a large dish pan full of cookies and several gallons of fresh Milk. He refused to accept any pay whatever for it. It was a very generous deed on his part Detectives wilt probably be jrat on the case without delay.
