LOCAL HAPPENINGS

FRIDAY Miss E. Warfield, of Monticello, is here for a tew days visit with Nelson Randle and family. Bob Wartena, who has been working in Hammond, has been layed off for a short time and will spend the time with his parei'ts here. W. R. Stewait and wife, of Toronto, Canada, have been visit ing her uncle, Fletcher Monnett and family, for the past week. Today Mr. went to Chicago on business, and Mrs. Stewart will remain here for an indefinite time.

Deferring to the action of the federal courts to let the creditors of the Parker bank at Remington elect a trustee, Judge Hanley postponed on the receivership for that bank’ until Jan. 25th, when it will be dismissed if the trustee plan of the Referee is effected at the meeting of the creditors on next Saturday, Jan. 18th. Rev. B. F. Ferguson, representative of the orphans home at Westheld, and Deputy Sheriff Joe O’Connor took the little Greiser boy to the orphans homethismorning. His foster parents made one last appeal for the custody of the child, going before the judge and asking that the boy be brought to their home that they might bid him good bye, but this request was refnsedand they went to jail to see him there where he seemed happy and contented.

A girl and young man both of whom had steady jobs were married the other day. The day after hey were married the girl said to ler fond husband. ‘‘Oh George, now that we Rre married the»e is only one thing I regret and that is I will have to give up my fine position.” The found young hueband stroked the silken tresses of his young wife’s hair and soothingly replied: “Now darling don’t worry you need’notjgive up your position. ' i’ll give up mine.”

Judge Palmer is over from Monticello today on business. Asked if le was going to be a candidate for the state senate, he said he had no thought of being, and that there was only one thing that would bring lim out and that was every one being for him. He did not consider this at all likely. Should Curtis D. Meeker again be a candidate for the lower house, White county will probably be ready to aid Jasper in the nomination of Attorney A. Halleck for the state senate. The Monticello Herald indicates as much.

The democratic state reorganization was a merry scrap, and about everyone of the district chairman and qpny of the others who attend ed the meeting carried political daggers and indulged in the rear stabbing process from beginning to end. The tenth district had nn dergone a slight reform desire and the busy district chairman, Kirby Risk, was willing to take the state chairmanship off the hands of the Taggart-O’Brien forces, and there were others who would have liked to depose Tom Taggart from the party dictatorship. But they were not smooth enough for the wily proprietor of the French Lick casino, and while they were gouging each other, Tom landed enough votes to set his dependable ally, Stokes Jackson, into the chairmanship. It was certainly a great]love feast and everyone left the meeting vowing vengence on some one. Wise Tom, poor Kirby, unfortunate democracy.

The largest lot and lowest prices on embroidery ever offered in town at the Chicago Bargain Store. No matter about what others advertise, Wildberg will do better. 2 f • There wjll be a dance in Warder’s hall Thursday night, Jan. 16th. Good music and good order. A great many 25 and 35 oent embroideries In The Murray Go’s 10 detft Mie next Friday Jan. 17.

SATURDAY A 13 years-old son of Chas. Weiss of Newton tp., is recovering from an attack of lung ft ver.’ .■ Born. Friday to Mrs. Chas. R*»ip, at the home of her latiier, I'M. Bnow r in Barkley tp., a daughter. Mrs. Maria Hopkins continues to { make t-ome slight improvement, her condition beingsomrwhat mote encothaging today. A J Bellows and wife have re turned from a visit Ot about fhrte weeks with their daughter, - Mis. C. L.. Murphy, in Chicago.

Lewell is talking about a saner kraut factory soon to locate in that ; city, but the plant is not far enough advaueed to send out an odor. Tom Taggart’s, baud wagon is well greased. And it is large enough to haul the temperance Democrats as wei 1 as the breweis. —Oxford Tribune.

Robt. White, now a street car conductor at Joliet, 111., visited friends here this week, and left to day for Converse, Ind., to visit his sister, Mrs. M. C. Jones. Mrs. Sparrow, of Monon, who tried to commit suicide Thursday, afternoon is reported to be some what better this morning and now stands a good chance of recovering. Ollie Cooper, who lives with his mother in Barkley tp., not far from Gifford, was kicked by a horse last Tuesday, and suffered the fracture of both bones of the right leg just above the ankle. Miss Bessie Moody, took htr music class, Misses Elizabeth Spitler, Martha Long, Ruth and Mamie Parkinson, * and Gladjs Beam, to Chicago to hear Padeiewski, who will appear at Orchestra Hall tomorrow.

Ross Porter is slightly better again today. He had quite a serious back set just as ho was first recovering from the pneumonia and for several days was in a rather serious condition. He is now probably, out of danger. There has been considerable talk at different times about Rensselaer having a base ball team next year,

and now would be the pr .per time to form an organization and begin selecting talent foi the teaiii. There are to be plenty of teams in this section of the state and a good team here would probably pay out. A. J. Hickey, of LaPorte, will probably have no opposition as district republican chairman. T. E. Bell, former state senator, of Hammond, has decided, after giv ing the matter some thought, not to be a candidate. The republicans of the tenth are certainly having smooth sailing, with not a ripple on the placid political sea. This must be very disconcerting to the democrats who are having war at every corner, both in the district and the state.

Free Wood, the colored barber, who dropped 1150 on the Wheatfield foot race, when Sportsman was defeated by Claud Hastings, and who later took S4BO worth, of the Hallett, Okla, cross roads proposition, has decided that fates are not altoget her against him, for he has just been successful in getting a $35 tailor made suit of clothes for the very astonishingly reduced price of 71 cents. This is a greater mark down than most of the January sales, but that is just what it cost him.

E. E. Brock, one of the Hallett, Okla., town site agents, who has lingered here since the visit to Hallett, of J. F. Bruner, altho he

has probably been nnable to make any new sales, left this morning for his home in Oklahoma, and along with Cole and other agents will probably hunt up other fields in which to operate. Judged by the opinion ot Oklahoma residents, in which the majority of them say that Hallett is a good place to steer from, the farther away from Oklahoma the agents get, the better chance there would be of selling. And probably all the local investors will thihk the same thing before they get the lots I>aid for. A meeting of the temperance people ot White county at Monticello is called for next Wednesday. Jan. 15th. Its object is to effect an orI ganixation to make White nrmnty

altogether saloon free. There i« ooesaloon at Monon,- e«ab<Khed there since the blaiiket remonstrance became effective, the at torneys of the present saloon keeper having found that tie could operate under an application for license filed abcut seven years ago The other saloon* are at Reynold*, but the temperance .people. Hmik they can get rid of both ot these b> a diligent effort. And they ate generally not only ed about j the business in White cuuutv, bm I assert their desire io aid in the* present nation wide, mightv move ment against the Jiqftor traffic. • A. L Clark, formerly the pas,tor ot the Monon iftethodist church, now the head of the teiepnune com pany at that place, is at the head of the movement.

MONDAY Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haskel 1 , Sunday morning, a boy. . August us Philips, the actor, started back to New York. Sunday. Delos, the nine year old son of Noble York, is sick with pneumonia. —— ~ Miss B*rtha Walker, a young lady ab »ut 27 years of age, died ab Monon Surday, 01 measles. J. Q Alter is visiting with his daughters, Mrs. E. E. Frites ar.d Mrs. Gaylord Newels, at Dtlohi. M. F. CcKliu, of Duluth, Minn., arrived here today for a shot t visit with the family of N. J. York. Born, Monday morning, Jan. 13th to Rdph Moore and wife, of near Pleasant urove, a daughter. The township trustees are in session today, many of them bringing in their annual reports for publication. Rev. J. A. Miller returned, to Denver, Ind., today, having con • ucted services Sunday at the Mt. Pleasant Dunkgrd church.

W. M. Kessinger, of Romney, Ind., returned home today after paying a short visit to his brother, G. A. Kessinger, south of town. Frank Ham, who recently traded for a drygoods stock at Chenoa, 111., and who has been there conducting a sale of the same, was home over Sunday with hit/Tamily.

Mrs Robert Michael, who has lad snch a serious time with the arge double carbuncle on her neck, is now recovering very nicely, and :.8 able to sit up most of the time. One of Chas. Eldej’s little twins,, about 4 months old, died and was buried Sunday. It had >een weak since birth and at the time of its death weighed only about four pounds. Frank Hardman has decided to give up his forestry course at Wabash College, and is home for a few days preparatory to entering the University of Illinois, where he will study architecture.

Rev. A. G. Work writes from ?enton, Mich., that everything is opening up nicely there and he is well pleased with the place. He says that the people have given him a cordial welcome and the prospect is very encouraging. August Rosenbaum and wife have closed a deal for the opening of the Nowels House, now the property of J. H. Chapman and Warren Robinson, and the repairs of that building will be begun at once, with a view to having it completed by the time the republican convention is held here on Feb. 4th.

The failure of the Parker] bank will not effect the Fountain |Park assembly. W. O. Smalley] has been elected president of the company and over two-thirds the attractions for this year’s assembly are already under contract] and the work of filling the remaining places on the programed being done.

Harmon Busk, the engineer who figured in the 31-71 wreck on Spitler’s curve last fall, 'had his band mashed off Saturday morning. He was going over hisjenglne, prepartory to making his run|and the engine hostler, not knowing he was around, started to back thejengine, the “monkey motion”’camo, down across Rusk’s hand and mashed it so badly that it was Amputated at once.
