Land Prices Soaring,

HAGERSTOwN, Ind, Jan. T.
Some recent extensive sales of
real estate in this vicinity indi-
cate that the day of low prices
for land is past. From SO to
800 an acre marks the range of
prices. Many valuable farms
have changed hands lately, and
the inquiry for frst-class farming
land promises we'll for an active
future demand. One noticeable
fact is that numbers of farmers
are returning to their country
homes. which they left some
years ago to come to town. Few
farmers who leave the farm to
live in town grow to like the
change, and their return is but
an accomplishment of their de-
sire, and not brought about by
necessity. Some of the most
beautiful homes in this county
are country homes.

Captain and crews of the steamer
Sparta and the acht Parker are

heard of since Thursday, and it is

twelve miles from shore.
The yacht Alberta was sent in

berta returned without word.
Several boats will be sent out to-

obtain some clew. if possible, of
the fate of the missing ones.
Some of the best known yacht

The last named is vice president
of the Hammond Packing COM
pany, while Mr.. Keim has been
connected with the department
store since it was started here in
1887. He will become managing
director. Henry Siegel will
henceforth own the controlling
interest in the big store.
Frank H. Cooper opened a
clothing and hat store in Peoria
in 1865. In 1887 Cooper and his
store had outgrown Peoria and
the outfit was moved to Chicago,
where, with Henry Siegel and
Isaac Keim as partners, Cooper
reopened at State and Adams

the present building occupied by
the firm of Siegel, Cooper & Co.,
in 1891, and that year the depart
