This, however, is only one of many instances demonstrating the gcod results of ad vertising in this paper. A Bremen young man who attemt ed to play a practical joke on his best girl a few evenings ago will have considerable to meditate over for several days to come. He went to the home of his girl, rang the door bell and theg, quietly stepped inside the hall. When his love arrived in the dark hall he caught her by the arm and without warning kissed her. After releasing her he laughingly entered the parlor, and it is said he then turned all colors of the rainbow, when he discovered he had made a great mistake and it was the young lady's mother. It is said icicles now accumulate on the young man’s forehead when he thinks of his terrible mistake. - Bremen Enquirer. The Cobweb social at the residence of

; Sudden Death of George Kern. | The news of the sudden death of | | George Kern last Monday morning m a'shock to the community. The genial 'l and hearty host of the Hotel Kern, never known to have a sick day, robust, ! ruddy, the picture of perfect health, out L upoh the streets apparenfly well as ever one day, and the next day lying cold in ‘ | death-—this is one of those unaccount- ' | able deeds of mysterious providence that come to bewilder us helpless creatures; of this mortal sphere. Although it was | | not generally known, yet for some weeks . | ’ Mr. Kern had been troubled occasion- l ally with his heart and had consulted a ! f physician who found upon examination ! that he had organic disease of the heart though nothing to an alarming extent. | Sunday morning Mr. Kern took his w gun and dog (his favorite bird dog had been killed by the cars just the Sunday | before) and went down on the Kankakee to hunt, taking the 6:40 milk train. He hurried to the train and was uncomfortably warm while riding and afterwards became chilled out on the marshes and at night upon taking the‘ evening train to come home he was 80 bad he had to be assisted. All that/ night he received the best of medical‘ skill but with no avail; at twenty | minutes after seven Monday morning he l breathed his last. He was a member of | the K. of P.'s, Maccabees and Foresters and also of the Masons at LaGrange, his former home, and to which place his remains were taken for burial. The funeral survices were under the management of the K. of P. lodge., dele- ‘ gates from which accompanied the funeral party as far as Avilla, leaving here on the 12:42 B. &O. train, Wednesday. At Avilla they were met by representatives of the K. of P. lodge of LaGGrange who took charge of ceremonies and the funeral was held at LaGrange on Thursday at 2 p. m. George Kern was born in Munich, Bavaria, Feb. 3, 1860. He was left an orphan when very young and at the age of 14 years came alone to this country. | He was married Oct. 13, 1885, to Mate Lampson who is left with their three little daughters to mourn his loss. Mrs. | | Kern's father, H. W. Lampson and her | sister, Leila, of LaGrange, came vnmedi l ately upon receipt of the sad news, but | aside from his sorrowing wife and childv! ren Mr. Kern had no relatives living. 1 Mrs. T. J. Wolfe, who has been quite gick for several weeks, is improving.
