Seven of the masons employed at the college went to their homes in Logansport and Russiaville today to remain over Sunday.

Trustee Chapman, who has worked nearly five years in unraveling the complications in the McCoy estate, received 1 per cent of the money handled for his work, or the sum of $2,200. This is surely little enough pay considering the amount of work he had to do. Referee Bowers received a similar amount. John T. VanZant, of Indianapolis, was among the first 400 to be given claims in the opening of the Corur d’Alene Indian Reservation. He drew No. 383. Five hundred names were drawn, that of George Bailey, of Wanatah, being the last. Other Indianians who drew claims were Wm. Roller, of Peru; J. F. Buck, of Laporte, and David Jump, Noblesville. T. J. McCoy has located in Chicago. He has opened offices at the Union Stock Yards, and will engage in the live stock scalping business. A scalper buys stock on his own .responsibility from the shippers and resells the same day, if possible, at a profit. There are great possibilities for money making in the business, but it takes some capital to do business, and Tom seems to be supplied with this necessary article of business life.

Children X Cry FOR FLETCHER’S OASTO R I A Wheat raising has become a hobby with Wm. Shaw. Last year he had something like 8 acres of this crop and it averaged about 18 bushels to the acre. Billy thought that was a fairly good yield so he planned to increase his acreage. This year he> harvested about 28 acres which totaled nearly a thousand bushels, or about 30 bushels to .the acre. You farmers who wish to raise wheat will have to go to Billy and get his recipe. —Mt. Ayr Pilot. SATURDAY. 1 1 Fletcher Monnett returned to Evanston, 111., today, for an extended stay.
