| A copy of the Morning Oregonian of
Nov. 10 contains the news that Mr.. N .
Is. Crane, who is member of the grand
jury in that state, suddenly fell from
his chair while that body was in session
and was picked up in an unconscious
condition. At first it was supposed to
| be apoplexy, but his physician finally
decided il to be case of exhaustion,
| and strong hopes are entertained of his
complete recovery.
Columbus Engle returned from his
hunting trip on Sunday morning. and
in the afternoon received telegram
from Dowagiac announcing the sudden
death of his sister Polly, who has been
well cared for by him during the many
years since her reason was partially de-
throned. She had been making visit
10 her brother Ben during Clum's alb
sence, and was i'll but few days with
inflammation of the bowels. The re-
mains were brought back here and
the funeral services occurred yesterday
at the house.
The lecture on "Acres of Diamonds"
by Russell COnwell, to occur Dec. 7th,
will undoubtedly prove the literary treat
of the season. Mr.. Conwell is pastor of
the largest Baptist church i'm the United
States, located in Philadelphia and has
been one of the leading attractions in
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau for IL
years. A Washington paper says of
him: THE wheel of time has carried
under the great lecturers of 20 years
ago, until Talmage and Conwell are al
most the only popular lecturers living
who may be said to have national
reputation"
A portion of the profits accruing to
Johnny Cook from his recent law prac-
tice, has been disposed of in very un-
expected manner. Some night-maraud
er, who evidently thought the good
farmers pocket-book too plethOric,
about two weeks ago entered the bed
chamber where he was sleeping the
sleep of the just, and secured the nice
little sum of $50. Johnny says he thinks
the thief used chloroform, but honest
labor and clear conscience make
sound sleepers, and SO we imagine the
sturdy Alliance leader would not be
easily awakened A like tax was levied
upon Mr. Jewell, a neighbor, but the
exact amount taken is not known.
The Union Thanksgiving service was
both pleasant and profitable. The open
ing prayer by A. II Bailey was followed
with beautiful rendition by the choir
of "How Lovely is Zion" and the Scrip
ture reading by Rev Mrs. Barton was
from the Book of Psalms. Rev. Clizbe
took Acts xiv: II as the text of an inter
esting discourse which he prefaced with
the remark that he should depart from
the usual custom of discussing social
and governmental questions, and fol
low the good, old fashioned method of
considering Gods goodness and bounty
toward us during the past year. The
general supervision of the exercises de-
volved upon Rev. Jones, who also as
sisted in the singing.
On Thursday pleasant home wed
ding occurred at the residence of MIR.
and Mrs. G.. f. Chappell, at which time
their only daughter Clare was welded
to e.. F. Harrison, secretary of the
Electric Light Co. The ceremony Oc-
Cured ut high noon, Rev. Clizbe oflici-
ating, and was followed by an old
fashioned Thanksgiving dinner with
many modern accOmpaniments, after
which the bridal party repaired to the
depot where the young couple took the
train for Chicago, attended by many
congratulations and good wishes. The
rooms over Chappelrs store were pre-
pared for their occupancy during their
absence, and Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison re-
turned from their bridal trip on Satur-
day evening, at once beginning house
keeping. We extend our best wishes
for their future prosperity.
