Bad Boys.
COR some time a gang elf bad boys have been spending Sunday afternoons in shooting craps in the fair grounds or in utton's woods. Last Sunday Mr. Hutton discovered them engaged in the delectable occupation, and summoned constableByas That officer swooped down upon them but they had gotten wind of his approach and ran away. Several were recognized, however, and warrants were issued for their arrest. These boys in some way learning of the charges, appeared before Squire Stilwell Tuesday evening, and filing charges against each other, were fined. They thus circumvented the officers, and the cases in the Mayor's court were dropped.
Shot His Foot.
pHOF. DONALDSON BODIXE, of Wabash College, at Burt Lake, Mich., where he has been spending the summer, shot himself in the foot last Saturday morning. He started squirrel hunting with his sister, but had gone from the hotel but a short distance when iiis rifle was accidentally discharged, the ball passing through near the little toe. As no doctor was readily obtainable Prof. M. B. Thotuas Jressed the wound and the surgeon finally secured, pronounced the work artistic and effective, and said that Prof. Bodine will speedily recover.
A Tricky Equine.
OHN KENNEDY is a colored resident, who is unfortunate in the possession of au old horse, chief!y valuable for past services. The ancient steed with passing years has accumulated wisdom, and when at large cannot be captured by any one save his master. He has been roaming about the streets for some time and has defied all the efforts of policemen to catch him, and so the other day they arrested Kennedy, as the best means of solvingthe problem. It is an unpleasant rxperience for that gentleman.

A President for Wabash.
CLI^CE the resignation of Dr. Burroughs from the presidency of Wabash college, it has been pretty generally thought that the place would again be tendered to Dr. W. P. Kane.' It will be remembered that after the resignation of Dr. Tuttle a unanimous choice fell upon Dr. Kane, but owing to the fact that he had only just accepted the pastorate of the Bloomington, Illinois, Presbyterian church, and yielding to the vigorous protest of his congregation, declined the honor. Since he has become the head of the Winona assembly, he has further demonstrated hi6 ability to serve in an administrative capacity, and the committee appointed to look for a president, feel that it is eminently proper that he should be tendered the position. Many friends of the college are urging his claim upon their attention, and the press where he has served as a minister and is so well and favorabl}known, is speaking of him in unstinted tones of praise and commending his appointment. The absence of Mr. Gregg in Europe and Dr. Haines in the east has so far prevented any concerted action on the part of the committee, but it is believed that Dr. Kane will now accept the trust should it be tendered him. A stroug and progressive man is needed to take up the work where Dr. Burroughs has laid it down and carry it on, and advance the interests of the college.
The time has come in her fortunes when push and vigor is needed to keep her abreast of the times, and it is hoped that Dr. Kane is able to supply these. It is a time of growth and expansion in educational institutions and methods, pud the college that does not meet the new problem with adequate solution, may be permanently dwarfed and injured, if not destroyed. In reference to Dr. Kane, the Indianapolis News says: "Dr. Kane is fifty-one years old, and is a man of powerful physique and strong address, and has a way of impressing himself favorably on all. He is a good business man, ar^ though he is a pulpit orator of unusual ability, his work in the ministry has been peculiarly singnalized by business success. He is extremely popular with young men, and enjoys the confidence of older heads. He is spoken of as forceful but not visionary."
Farmers' Mutual.
THE annual meeting of the Farmers' Mutual Insurauce Company, of the counties of Fountain and Montgomery, was held in the court room in this city on Tuesday. The company was organized in 1877. The company is in a nourishing condition and represents an insurance of $1,300,000. The report of the president shows an assessment of 00A cents on the oue hundred dollars to pay losses or a little over 8 cents per year for the past eleven venrs. Losses of $.3,195.53 were paid during tbe past year, and all were speedily and satisfactorially adjusted. A board of six directors manage the affairs of the company. These are elected annually. The present officers are: President. M. B, Waugh: vice-president, Albert Campbell: secretary, W. J. Miles treasurer, J. M. Harshbarger, directors, N. A. Foster and It. G. Drollingor.

Up-to-Date.
T^HE end-of-the-oehtury young woman is a capable creature and quite able to take care of herself. Indeed it has been broadly hinted, if not openly stated that she has been making frantic efforts to usurp every masculine prerogative or privilege, including whiskers and apparel. If such a day should come in the near future it will not find one Danville, 111., joung lady unprepared to meet the emergency. The aforesaid young lady, not only young but pretty, appeared at the court bouse on Saturday evening and informed the dumbfounded clerk that she had come to take out a marriage license. She was very business like and matter of fact, and elucidated matters somewhat by stating that she came from Danville, 111., and as the groom of the same place could not arrive until the midnight train came in, the unusual duty devolved upon her of getting the license and have her lamp trimmed and burning, as it were, when the bridegroom came. She stated that there were no objections to the marriage. Out they chose this unique way of celebrating their nuptials. She got the license, paid for it, and then put up at a hotel until the groom should come. He came according to schedule, and was received with an ecstatic greeting. They immediately hied themselves to the home of
Squire Stilwell, whose fame as a eementer of hearts has gone abroad over the land, and in the small hours of the morning the knot was tied. The happy pair went home on the excursion train, where no doubt they received the parental blessing, and will live happy ever after. The names on the record are George S. McRoales and Maggie Parish.
Mrs. Ira Cadwallader.
AT the family home, 570, east Main street, on Sunday morning at 4 o'clock, occurred the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Cadwallader, wife of Ira Cadwallader. Mrs. Cadwallader had been ill for some time, and her death was not unexpected. Mrs. Cad wallader's maiden name was Cooper. She was a daughter of the late Sylvester Gooper, and was born on a farm near Younteville in 1847. In 1865 she married Ira Cadwallader, who with two sons, Charles and Harry, survive her, together with two sisters, Mrs. William Nutt and Miss Magggie Cooper. Mrs. Cadwallader will be jiourned by a large circle of friends. She was a woman who, by her kindly deeds and pleasant manner, endeared herself to all with whom she caine iu contact. She was a mother not only to her own children, but she has been~ such as well to Miss Grace Nutt, who has made her home with Mrs. Cadwallader almost since infancy. She was a sincere member of the Methodist chuiv-h. arid her christian character has no flaws in it. She goes to her reward with the blessings of many upon her. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from tin house,
Rev. G, W. Switzer officiating. Interment at Oak Hill.
Suit for Insurance.
A
SUIT has been filed by Isabella G. Coutant, widow ot the late Chauncy M. Coutant, against the Traveler's Insurance Company for $2y500. The complaint alleges that the husbttnd of plaintiff took out a policy for £2,500 insurance in the Traveler's Insurance Company, and some time later was accidentally shot and killed. The company has refused to pay the amount and therefore the suit is brought to recover. The sad details of the death of Mr. Coutant ere still fresh in the minds of the people.
