It is intimated that the Monon railroad will agaiu demand a three cent rate of its passengers and bring the present two cent rate law to ju supreme court test, a similar law in Massachusetts having reoently been declared unconstitutional.

Several of Miss Hardy’s friends from out of town will be present. George Lowmau is over from Amboy, Ind., for a few days visit with his mother and other relatives.

The death of Henry Reed, father of Barton Reed of Gillam, occurred at Lafayette Saturday evening, he being at the advanced age of 81 years. He was born in Bntler county, Ohio, and during the last fifty years has been blind. The Lafayette papers speak of him as being cheerful at all times and an interesting converationalist.— Francesville Tribune.

Three candidates for the republi can nomination lor sheriff have been announced in the Republican and the selection of any one of them by the convention that is to meet meet here on March 16th will guarantee a strong, well qualified candidate, deserving of the concerted party support The Republican takes pleasure in presenting the names of men of snch high standing in the citizenship of the county. The republicans of Indiana having passed and enforced the present laws that make it possible lor a community to rid itself of saloons it now looks funny to see an assembly of democratic editors advising its party In the state to take the initiative in formulating temperance legislation. The republicans will sec to it that there Is no going backwards in this matter, and will probably receive the same opposition that has always come from democratic quarters. John Tigler, who lives southwest of Franoesviile about five miles was stricken with paralysis, Thursday of last week whiles eating lunch at the Frohm restaurant. He was taken to office of Dr. Kel-

* ; sey where temporary relief was given and later removed to the residence of Charles Schleman. Mr. • X+'Ji Tigler is past sixty years of age, his condition is critical and little hopes are entertained for his recovery. TTp was, reported better Tribuue. The Democrat, in publishing a statement of the consolidation of the Republican and Journal, makes several incorrect statements]*as re gards the division of between the parties composing the new company. This has not been con sidered a matter that the| had any r interest in, and the Republican did not include it£in a statement of the consolidation. And now we do not care to 'state what the partnership] conditions are, but the statement* in the Democrat is far from right.

Sunday was a very beautiful day but the ice had not yet all disappeared from the pavements and it was difficult getting about.
