Contrary to the style of most romances, “The Romance of Coon Hollow” came to a sad ending in this city Sunday, when the company disbanded for the lack of 1 the coin of the realm, which did not‘flow abundantly into its coffers. The show chine here Saturday morning from Columbia City;> where it got a frost, one of the real March frosts, too.

Several property owners are circulating a remonstrance to be filed against Madison street improvement tomorrow evening’s special session. The Interurban cars all day today experienced some very serious trouble in making their regular trips and every car ran late, this being due to the power house at Fort Wayne experiencing some trouble with their machinery and also to the fact that the heavy rain put the right of way in a bad shape. The electrical storm last evening stalled the cars some place between this city and Fort Wayne and they had considerable trouble in getting into this city. Officers from Huntington Saturday evening seized a lot of liquors which they found in the place of Charles Regedanz at Roanoke. The proceedings were brought under the “blind tiger” act, and a charge of having liquor in his possession with intent to dispose of it without a license will be placed against Regedanz. Armed with a search warrant, the officers descended upon Regedanz just as he was arranging his stock of liquors about the ice in preparation for a brisk evening's business. You can tell at a glance whether a woman is well groomed: and if she isn’t, she is lazy. She may comnltin of not having enough time to keep her person and her clothes in order, but you will always know better. If her hair or teeth or nails are neglected. and a loose braid is protruding from her skirt, you will know she I has cared more icr sleep than for the neatness of her body or her toilet. Or if the hem of her gown is dusty or there are disfiguring spots on her jacket or skirt, you will know she has been too lazy to brush them before hanging them away. The un- i tidy woman is the unhealthy woman, nine times out of ten, and it is her fault.

Some time ago the people of Venedocia and the business men of Delphos made request to the officials of the Clover Leaf to make some arrangements for the stopping of their trains at Venedocia whereby the people of that town could be enabled to come to Delphos to do their shopping and return home on the same day. The officials have granted the requests and from last evening on, the Commercial Traveler, No. 5, due here at 8:05 will make a regular stop at Venedocia every evening. The accommodations were very poor heretofore, it being impossible for people to come to Delphos over the Clover Leaf and return the same day. Now they can come on passenger No. 2, and return on No. o.—Delphos Herald.
