The company agree to heat the building through- out to 70 degrees when the ther- mometer is 25 degrees below zero out doors. This company has a wide reputation throughout this and other states for heating public buildings, and from the manner in which they do business we feel sure will give satisfaction. The company promise to commence in a few days. Our fellow-townsman, John T. Smith, was in Adrian Saturday even- ing and made a telling democratic speech to a large audience. During his speech he was frequently inter rupted and annoyed by the hoodlum element of the republican club and party of the town. We are informed that, to the disgust of the democrats and better element of the republican party, these hoodlums hauled their log cabin through the streets and, stopping in front of their club room, a short distance from the speaker's stand, set up a howl and did all in their power to drown out Mr. Smith and brake up the meeting. Of course the respectable and decent part of the republican party at Adrian did not approve of the course the hood- lums adopted, and felt ashamed for their party to think that agentleman and invited guest to their city should be treated in such a manner.

A couple of tough looking eustom- ers were brought up from Rich Hill Monday evening and placed in jail, on the charge of belonging toa gang of burglers, and it was supposed they were making arrangements to do the Hill up in a scientitic manner. The Review has this to say of them: “These fellows were searched, and after being deprived of a large size screw driver, a chisel, a brace and several bits, a quantity of fuse, a lot of powder and a revolver, well load- | ed all around. they were locked up, and will have a hearing this after- noon. The utensils all but the pis tol, powder and fuse, we understand were taken from the carpenter shop of Porter and Long, which was bro- ken into some time during the night.” | Our fellow-townsman, Capt. J. W. | Hannah, was nominated by the republican convention at Lamar last week for congress. Capt. Hannah is a clever, sociable gentleman. an en- terprising citizen and a good neigh- bor, and the republican party might have gone much farther and secured While we congratu- late Capt. Hannah on his preferment by his party, our only regret being worse material. that so excellent a gentleman should be chosen for the slaughter. On Saturday evening the Capt. was given | an ovation by the citizens of Butler, irrespective of party, at which the Flambeau Club, the white and col- ored bands and the the young men’s Harrison and Morton club assisted- Messrs. Huckeby and Denton, of Rich Hill, Capt. Hannah. Messrs. Lamb, John T. Smith and O. D. Austin made short talks. Everything passed off in the very best humor, and the Captain can well feel proud of the demonstration of friendship given him by his home people. A Quick Robbery. Saturday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock; the residence of H. H. Nichols, in the south part of the city, was entered by sneak thieves and robbed of $20 in cash. A five dollar gold piece, wrapped in the bills taken, was dropped on the floor and left. The money taken had been put in a toy sugar bowl and placed on a shelf in one corner of theroom. The house was thoroughly searched, even to the pockets of Mrs. Nichols’ dress hanging against the wall. The fami- ly had not been away over three- quarters of an hour, as Mr. Nichols informs us he and his wife left the house about seven o'clock and re- turned about a quarter to eight. Mr. Nichol lives in a thickly settled part of town and it is strange that a burglary of this kind could be per- petrated so early in the evening and not be seen. Mr. G. D. Arnold, of Summit township, and Miss Nettie E. Trumbo were united in marriage at Seymour, Indiana, Tuesday, Aug. 28th. The ceremony took place at the residence of Mr. T. Carter, grandparent of the bride, and was solemnized by the Rev. A. Ogle. After partaking of refreshments the bride and groom, with the best wishes of their host of friends, took their departure for their future home near this city, arriving Friday evening. Mr. Arnold’s neighbors and friends, hearing of the event and also that the couple would arrive home Friday evening, made all arrangements to give them a royal welcome, and right well did they do it, for a finer supper was never set before a king, while sweet strains of music from the Butler Silver Cornet Band lent enchantment to the oc- casion. We feel sure Mr. and Mrs. Arnold will ever cherish this kind remembrance of their neighbors and friends.
