Miss Rosalind G. Slaughter's school
in this township closed on Friday, with
suitable exercises for the closing day, in
which all the pupils acquitted them
selves with credit to themselves and
their teacher.
Mr.. Frank Paris has removed from
his place here to his Burnt Creek farm.
Mr.. Paris is the happy owner of two of
the finest farms in this county.
The collectors for the Columbian Ex-
position should not overlook the fine
specimens of wild hops that grow in
such profusion on Burnt creek. They
are useful as we'll as ornamental and the
rank luxuriance in which they grow in
their wild states suggest that their cult
walton as articles of commerce might be
made a paying investment.
One of the loveliest homes in Burliegl
county, is the Rock Glen cottage of Vim
B. Couch. The whole farm is like a
little vista in Switzerland, and lacks
nothing in productiveness or natural
advantages to make and ideal place of
residence. There are many trees, vines
and shrubs, clear ~everdowing water from
living springs, native fruits in abun-
dance, raspberries, cherries, currants,
June berries gooseberries, high bush
cranberries, etc., growing naturally in
the ravines. There is choice game in
the uplands, prairie chickens, rabbits,
and deer occasionally, with duck and
wild geese in their season. There are
wheat fields and hay meadows, and
hills filled with a fine quality of building
stone; with an agreeable wife and a
houseful of bright, healthy children,
what more can man desire?
Our farmers have finished haying, and
some of them are already cutting grain.
The wheat has ripened earlier this year
than ever before.
Prairie chickens are numerous, and OF
fine flavor. The early harvest has helped
to fatten them. Bush and cotton-tall
rabbits are also plentiful in the brush.
Deer are also een frequently on the
river bottoms.
Mr.. L.. Larson, the popular school
treasurer, is busily engaged IN harvesting
grain. He has a good farm and fine
crop.
Mr.. Frank Cccher is one of our farmers
who has had good success in a sheep ex-
pertinent this year.
Mr.. P. Flanagan and his sons are now
engaged in cutting grain. They have the
promise of an abundant crop.
River Notes.
The steamer Rosebud arrived Tues.
day afternoon. The Rosebud, for several
months, has been doing quite an extern
sive business between Pierre and Sioux
City, and has also taken out quite a
number of parties of excursionists. She
had quite an exciting trip in coming up
the river, suffering considerably from
contact with a snag in one place, and
will be placed on the dock for repairs.
A Gay Milliner.
In speaking of the Spencer Warnock
scandal a Valparaiso dispatch to a Chi
cago paper says: Spencer came here
about eight years ago after taking a
theological course at Wabash college,
entering the Office of Judge Johnston,
afterward forming a partnership with
E. D. Crumpacker, now appellate judge,
which was the leading law firm of this
city. Three years ago he married one of
the most prominent young ladies of Porter
county. They lived happily until last
winter, when Spencer became enamored
of Alice Mink Warnock, q gay milliner,
for whom he prosecuted a suit for
divorce. EARLY this summer he re-
moved to Chicago, forming a partner
ship with q prominent real estate at
torney. About three weeks ago he de-
serted his wife and child for the War
mock woman, going to Bismarck
