This order now has a nice home and are fully equipped and ready for business. Gus Rosenthal left tlfis morning for Chicago, where he expects to make his future home.

We have a strong selection of players for this season and with good support will be able to meet such teams as Bluffton, Hartford City, Decatur and Fort Wayne Shamrocks. We have a letter from Joe Nonnemacher. stating that he will be on the twirling staff for us this season. Joe delivers the goods.—Van Buren Eagle. B. A Daugherty and a company of others, known as the Pleasant Valley Horse company, on yesterday purchased a big, handsome, brown Belgian stallion of Frisinger & Co., that weighed in the neighborhood of 2100’ pounds. The animal is a beauty and is one of the best horses ever brought into Adams county by any firm. The animal brought something more than a dollar a pound. The warm weather and the rains of the past few days have had the asual spring effect on the grass and the lawns all over the city are now beginning to assume their usual spring and summer garb of brilliant green. The buds on the trees and lilac bushes are beginning to swell, the "pussy willows” are out and spring seems to be in the air. The first case of spring fever, however, has not yet been reported. Clifford Bales, the well kno-wn Montpelier base bal player, has signed a contract to play third and first base for the fast independent base ball team of Delphos, 0., this year. Clifford is in fine condition and as long as he is as light on his feet as he is at present he plays a good fast game of ball. The Delphos team is always one one of the strongest playing independent around this part of the country and have a number of old men signed this year.—Bluffton News. Contrary to one opinion given by Attorney General James Bingham in February, to the effect that the trust companies of the state could not do a general banking business, in a second opinion given by Mr. Bingham under date of March 16, he holds, in effect, that trust companies may do a general banking business, a conclusion j that is to all practical purposes exactly opposed to the former opinion. One woman says that there is only i one thing to remember, one thing to i forget, if you want always to be young. The first is the power of right thinking, which can rebuild and remodel one's life and character, and the things to forget are—“regrets.” Nothing is so truly useless or such a handicap as regrets of any kind, and it is the first thing one must learn to eliminate if one wants to be fifty years young.

"A sanitary Bible,” said the dealer; “you see, it’s bound in celluloid and can be readily washed and disinfected. It is for use in such antiquated law courst as still require their witnesses to 'kiss the book.’ Book-kissing has often caused serious disease. But with our sanitary Bible, which may be disinfected after each kissing, the witness's health is absolutely safeguarded.”

During the first week in April the interurban railway will run a car between this city and Fort Wayne every hour and a half, this being brought about owing to the Prince of India showing at Fort Wayne, the Evangelical conference, the Boston American league, at Fort Wayne and the school teachers’ convention at South Bend. The new siding will be placed in at the nine mile house, this being the place the cars will pass. The nine o’clock car last evening had a mishap near the nine mile house that resulted in the car being stuck there for several hours. The accident was caused by the car striking a yearling calf and in some manner the air line was disconnected and the car refused to budge an inch. The freight car was sent to its relief and they arrived in town some time after twelve o’clock. The damage to the car was slight and it was making its regular trips today. The dress skirt worn by Mrs. Bert Barley of Bluffton, caught fire as it came in contact with a red-hot stove, and the woman saved herself from burning to death only by the exercise of presence of mind. She made an attempt to extinguish the flames with her hands, but was unable to do so, and then ran to a bed, jumped into it and wrapped the bed clothing closely about her. The flames were soon smothered out completely, and Mrs. Barley escaped with a badly burned hand. James B. Stogdill has decided to engage in business in Fort Wayne and has rented a room on Harrison street, just one block west of the court house, which he will occupy beginning April 1. His son, Carl, will be associated with him, and they will operate under the firm name of Stogdill & Son. The business in which they will engage will be identical with that in which Mr. Stogdill has been engaged in Willshire the last four years past —pianos, musical merchandise and jewelry. Fort Wayne is a good field and a growing city, and none of our readers will doubt the ability of the Stogdill firm to succeed in their new location and new venture. —Willshire Herald. The appearance of the Black Crook Jr. company under the direction of Harry Hastings at the opera house night of Saturday, March 23, is announced. The company is one of the largest and most expensive of its kind on the road, and present a lively and leasing entertainment of vaudeville which has all the charm of novelty. The company which includes several clever comedians, headed by Curtis & Adams, and a big chorus of handsome and talented girls, present two laughable skits. The first is laid in the ball room of the Hotel Astorbilt, while the closing burlesque which is called “A Midnight Supper,” deals with that phase of life in New York after the theatres. The olio presents five big feature vaudeville acts.

Mary Eighotz, three years old, of New York, is turning purple. The doctor says she is suffering with a disease known as purpura hemorrhagica. The child's mother first noticed the changing color three weeks ago. While bathing the girl she detected small purple spots on various parts of the body. Alarmed, she applied home j remedies, but the spots continued to ’ spread. The child's body presents the; appearance of being tatooed. Almost the entire body is covered, with the exception of the face, which thus far has not been affected. While most of the time the blotches are of a mellow purple, they occasionally change to a deep plum color or a dull red. Some blotches are as large as a penny, others are no lai-ger than a pinhead. The disease is probably caused by a rheumatic germ. o REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Reported by the Decatur Abstract & Loan Company. Money to loan on farms and city property at the lowest rates of interest.
