Washakie, Wyo., to Fort Missoula. Mont., to which place his military command has been changed. He is a commissary sergeant in the regular army. Miss Ora Eviston, of Butler, lad,, who for the past two years has been teaching school at Raton, N. Mex., where Miss Letha Wright also taught, arrived here Saturday and remained as Miss Wright’s guest until this morning. Both of the young women Mexico mountain climate, are very much delighted with the Rev. H. L. Kiudig has been suffering for a fdw days with rheumatism, and Sunday evening was feeling so' poorly that he was unable to leave the house. Rev. J. C. Parrett, of the Presbyterian church, adjourned his services or rather transfered them to the M. E. church and a union service was held with Rev. Parrett in charge. Charles R. Seese, better known here by the name of “Jerry” Seese, who has run the engine for the moving picture show since it was in stalled here by Mr. L. W.

Jerry proved himself to be a good fellow and he has many friends here who regret to have him leave. Eddie Karnatz, the tailor, will run the picture machine in the future. Frank Kresler has had one of his buses repainted by Jack Warner, the real artist in that line of work. It presents a very handsome appearance. Some culprit wanted to see. how hard the paint was and scratched through it with a pin. If Frank eould have captured the fellow in action he would have forgotten the restrictions of the law long enough to have shoved his foot full force against that part of the anatomy that is used most in sitting down and discussed least at dinner parties. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER S OASTORIA This is the first really spring like day we have had fro a long time, and an occasional straw hat has found its way out of the closet and on to the head of some daring citizen, who takes a chance at insulting the weatherman and causing him t< punish us all by sending a snow, storm. The ground is still quite wet, but plowing is being pursued and corn planting will ensue as rapidly as the soil can be put in readiness. Spring is really here,' but it is not as gentle as the kind ambitious poets used to write about. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Tli Kind You Han Always Bought Signature of Monday was quite a busy day at the court hduse. Court was In session; the county commieeioners on .

han4 for their May meeting; the county board of education, consisting of the trustees, was here; the township assessors were here to respond to a call to meet the state statistician; the election inspectors appeared with their reports of the Saturday election and tax payers were on hand from all over the county to settle with the county treasurer, it being the last day for settlement without the penalty. Mrs. Mary E. Lowe returned" Tast Saturday from Koss, Mich.,, vfhich is just across the line from Wisconsin, where she owns 400 acres of timber land. Jim Lefler also has 400 acres near her land, and himself and wifr have i been there for the past few weeks. He is clearing up some of the timber and Mrs. Lowe thinks they both have a fine proposition there. Jim and his Wife have been boarding at a hotel since they went there, but will occupy a house on Mrs. Lowe’s land as soon as it is completed. A letter received by relatives from Ray Osborne, stated that his father, J. Frank Osborne, who recently underwent the operation at a Chicago hospital for cancer, is now feeling fine and is suffering no pain for the first time in several months. As before stated, it was necessary to remove a part of the bone of the left jaw and this will considerably disfigure him, but he will be able ts largely cover it up by letting hb beard grow. He will probably not return from the hospital for some time yet. Probably the most symmetrical tree in this city is a plum tree in the yard of C. W. Duvall. Its highest point is two or three feet below the gabel end of the house, and its lowest branches are just above the head Of a standing man; high enough to permit the grass to grow beneath its liberal shade. The large branches jeave the trunk near the ground and spread out as evenlj as though trained in the direction ir which they were to go. The thick branches and heavy foliage make the tree resembl§ a semi-spherical ball. Now the tree is In full bloom and is the admiration of all who see it.

The K. O. K. A. baseball team is quite an active organization and under the instruction and guardianship of Rev. Parrett are becoming a well organized team. Cope Hanley and Tom Padgitt are the catchers, Virgil Robinson and Howard Clark the pitchers, and Fred Rhoades, Fred Hamilton, Noble York and two or three others furnish the balance of the team. Last week they defeated Simon Thompson's Thunderpumpers and yesterday they played them another game with an 11 to 11 score They will fce pleased to meet other teams and will give some of the older teams a hard tussel. Minus Irwin/ the Brookston baseball pitcher, who occupied the center of the diamond for Loweil for three years and made it the best team in northwestern Indiana, is pitching for his home town this year. So far he has pitched three games and not a score has been made off him. Last Sunday and the Sunday before he pitched against the Lafayette Y. \t. I. team, and they garnered three hits in the two games. Irwin is 39 years of age. He would like to come to Rensselaer this year if a good supporting organization could be procured. Rensselaer people would patronize a good ball team this year, and it couid make some money. A "peerless leader” is all that is needed. Jesse J. Fry, formerly of Roselawn, arrived in this city yesterday He is now with a railroad company that is building 750 miles of road in Central America. Ko Is greatly in love with the country, over whi ih he has traveled extensively on horseback. He was in Honduras recently when the metropolitan papers were printing stories about the horrible insults that were being heaped upon American citizens there. He pronounces these stories altogether false and says they are simply manufactured out of whole c'oth to rospond to the public desire to read sensa tional stories. He says that a man or his wife are safer in Honduras than they are in Chicago. He unqualifiedly pronounces the Palmer stories In the Tribune as without foundation. , • We are thp only store in town that Is now and have been for years selling the leading brands of 5 cent cigars 3 for 10 cents.
