Mr. Adolph Gustafson and wife left last Thursday night for Boston. Mr.

Mr. and Mrs. H. Benson spent Saturday in Valparaiso. Mr. B. thinks of
disposing of his bakery to Valparaiso parties.
Ira Tillottson of the Vale, was in town one day last week. Ira is beginning
to resemble a bloated bond-holder. Valparaiso must agree with him.
Conrad Baker, ex-governor of this state, died Tuesday afternoon of paralysis
of the pleura-gastric nerve. He was 67 years of age.
Charles Campbell left Monday morning for Chicago, where he goes in search of
work. Charley leaves many friends behind who wish him success.
Dr. Riley, of Chicago, spent last Sabbath in Furnessville. He returned home
Monday morning. The Dr.'s visits in that vicinity appear to be rather
numerous, but of course, he comes to see the May flowers.
Unless Chesterton bestirs herself, the chances are that our neighbor,
Hageman, will be incorporated, become a city, and extend her limits around
the borders of this town. At least so think some of our Hagemanites.
Mrs. S. A. Harper is now in Chicago visiting her parents, and will remain
about two weeks. While there she witnessed the dedication of the new
Western Avenue M. E. Church, of which she has been a member from childhood.
Ed Schaper, the Westchester jeweler has an elegent assortment of wedding
rings, neck laces, and suitable jewelery for ladies. Young men, look over
his stock, and make the heart of your best girl glad.
Are you a smoker? Do you want a good cigar? If so, try one of those 5 cent
Caboose brand, just received by Dr. Green. They are pronounced by competent
judges as being the finest 5 cent cigar on the market.
Wilkinson & Foster, successors to G. W. Babcock & Son, agricultural dealers
Valparaiso make a specialty of putting down Tubular Wells and erecting
Windmills. All persons wishing such work done will find it their advantage
to consult this firm.
We hope this next week, by making a few changes, to be able to give our
readers, both Swedish and English, more reading matter. Rome was not made
in a day, and so with a newspsper. It takes time and money. But The
Tribune will "get there" after while.
Mrs. Perry, of St. John, Kansas, sister of Mrs. Frank Swartz, was given up
to die, her trouble being an internal tumor. Dr. vincent, who was the
family physician when Mrs. Perry lived in Porter County, was called to her
aid, and he with Kansas City surgeon, relieved the sufferer.
