Friday and was taken to Fort Wayne Saturday for burial. 'Tom Gallagher has gone back to his old job of braking on the P. F. W. & C. railway. Dr. Moore had smallpox about twenty years ago, and somehow the people with all their talk can’t convince nim that he is liable to have it again. A. 8. Jones is now able to sit up again.

Medical authorities believe that the drouth in Indiana will produce typhoid fever to an alarming extent this season. Barnum A~BaUey’s show at LaPorte last Saturday drew quite a crowd from this locality. The menagerie and

performance were above the average. Al Cripe has a bird dog pup only ten weeks old that goes after game almost like an old timer. The pup has never had any training. This beats the record. Hon. L. W. Royse, republican candidate for congress, will hold meetings in this county, according to present arrangements, September 10th to 15th and in October from the Bth to the

L »rne>f Aylesworth, of Valparaiso, died from the t fleets of excessive cigarette smoking.

Those who make careful calculation say they can make more money by selling corn and feeding wheat. They estimate that one bushel of wheat in feeding hogs is equal to two bushels of corn, and that at the present price for hogs they can get 75 cents per bushel for wheat by putting it into pork. Attica Lodger. A dispatch from LaPorte states that the summer resort hotel at Holmes Island, Pine Lake, near that city, was destroyed by fire with all its contents Sunday afternoon. The building was owned by Airs. J. B. Holmes, of Chicago, but was leased to Samuel C. Hough, atone time general passenger agent of the Lake Shore road. He had refitted the hotel and his loss was considerable. Rev. Father Kroll, of Chesterton, has resigned his pastorate of the Catholic church of this place.

Kroll will devote the most of his attention, here- । after, to the Catholic school of Ches- | terton, of which he is principal.
