Undertaker W. J. Wright received a telegram yesterday from Edgerton, Ini, stating that the corpse of the child op William Greenfield would be shipped from there So as to reach here on the 2:01 train today, but it did not come and no further word was received. Mr. Greenfield wes well known as “Uncle Billy” Greenfield and moved from here about two years ago. The public sale of Jas. L. Myers, of Parrwas postponed today on account of the inclement weather. Mr. Meyer is right back with another set of bills which the Republican is printing this afternoon. His new date is Friday, Feb. sth. He has added to his previous list another good horse, another cow, a last fall calf and a. few other things. Phillips and Spitler will be at the points. The weather forecast Is for colder weather Saturday. It began to rain yesterday afternoon and continued all evening and all night, and this morning the rain turned to a soft and mushy snow that melted almost as fast as it fell. Next Tuesday is ground hog day and the bad weather may keep up long enough to make the little varmint prognosticator stay under cover. In this country we are prepared for almost anything in the weather line and we usually get a great variety. F. Richard Schaaf, jr., who was the republican county chairman of Lake county, has, so the Hammond Times says, been determined upon by Congressman Crumpacker fcr postmaster of Hammond, a position that pays $3, 500 a year. Shortly after the election Schaaf was taken sick with typhoid fever and he is still In a Chicago hospital. During his sicknevs his friends prevailed on Congressman Crumpacker to make the appointment, and it is apparently a very popular one.
