James Dorner, well known in Elk circles, was elected Exalted Ruler of the Fort Wayne lodge last evening, to act during the coming year. The election was a warm one, but James won out by a nice majority. Mr. Dorner is well known in this city. The warm rains will set all kinds of I vegetation to growing. The plant life in which the farmers are most concerned just now is the growing wheat The eold weather in February found the fields bare and the wheat was injured to some extent. The rains will set every live root to growing. Soap has been in use for 3,000 years and is twice mentioned in the Bible.

The soap found in the shop had not lost its esI ficacy, although it had been buried 1,800 years.

The traveling man and the Clover Leaf agent could arrive at no understanding in relation to the trunk in which it was claimed some samples were desroyed.

What the traveling man will do will be known later. A. G. Emshwiller, prosecuting attorney for this district, was in the city this morning.

Witnesses have been summoned to appear on the day named in the Allen county courts. —Bluffton Banner. The rejoicing of the Indiana oil producers over a reported big raise in the price of crude oil was of short duration. Last week all of the metropolitan papers published quotations showing the ten cent raise, but the Standard corrected the quotations in Saturday’s market reports and gives the price quoted at 89 cents, which is the price quoted after a two cent raise a few days ago. Any deals made Friday in oil properties on the strength of the big advance probably would be contested and the ten cents difference in price would make a big difference in the value of properties. The raise was on Pennsylvania oil only. A certain young preacher was much disliked by his congregation for his foolishness and conceit. He considered himself greatly persecuted and, meeting an old German friend of his on the street, began to tell his woes, ending up by saying: “And Mr. Brown the church warden, actually called me a ’perfect ass.’ My cloth prevents me from resenting insults, but I think I should refer to it in the pulpit next Sunday. What would you advise’” ■ Mein frendt,” said the old German, with a twinkle in his eye, “I know not, i but I t’ink dot all you can do vlll pe ! youst to bray for dem as usual!"

Mrs. J. B.

A number of local horsemen went to Bluffton today to attend the horse sale at that place. It is said that two hundred horses were offered for sale and that some of the horses were of high class stuff. Spaulding's official guide contains a fine picture of last season's base ball team that won the championship of Northern Indiana. The picture shows the grandstand, players and a part of the crowd. It also gives the names of the players and the per cent of the team for last season. Dick Burrell, the news man, has informed us that he has secured new quarters with the interurban people and will move into their new depot as soon as the same is ready for occupancy. He expects to put in a full line of candies, cigars and tobacco, and will also keep his customers well supplied in the news line. Soon after the opening of court at Huntington Thursday, the state moved a dismissal in the case against Frank E. Fults, former trusteee of Dallas township, who was accused of misuse of township funds, and the action was ended. The action against Fults, which was backed by the Graves Auditing company of Warsaw, followed the payment of a judgment for SI,OOO on a civil case. An eighteen-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Burkhart of Huntington, suffered severe injuries of an unusual character in a fall from its cab Wednesday evening. The infant struck upon its face in such a manner that two of its front teeth were forced into the upper jaw nearly out of sight. Physicians used forceps to remove the embedded teeth from the jaw bone, and it is believed the injury will not be permanent. The new pure food law is stirring things up all along the line in the matter of butter from the smal retail dealer back to the very creamery itself. The law provides that "no dealer in food or drug products will be liable to prosecution if he can establish that the goods were sold under a guaranty by the wholesaler, manufacturer, jobber, dealer or other party residing in the United States from whom purchased." The retail dealers are therefore demanding such guaranty of butter merchants, who in turn are requir. ing the creameries to guarantee their output. For violating the new blind tiger ' law, Roy Anderson was fined SSO and Thrsuday afternoon, and his accoinThhursday afternoon, and his accomplice, Charles Flower, drew a fine of SSO without the jail clause attached.

Now that the robins are with us and everything takes on the appearance of spring the professional tramp begins to take to the road. During the past week many way-farers have been seen about town going to back doors for something to eat. The tramps who spend the winter in the cities in some cheap lodging house, or who remain in the south during the cold weather period of the year are ready for their season on the road. Railroad detectives and policemen in the cities will have plenty to do. Shortly after May 1 a new series of postage stamps commemorating the three hundredth anniversary of the settlement of Jamestown, will be consigned to the postoffices of the country. The local office will have them on sale. The one-cent variety will show a picture of Captain John Smith, and the two-cent design will have a picture of the exhibition grounds. The remarkably warm weather and the warm rains of the past ten days have revived the barren looking wheat fields wonderfully, and farmers who had counted on plowing up some of their fields for oats are now expecting fairly good yields of wheat where two weeks ago they expected nothing at all. The grass is growing as rapidly as it does usually the latter part of April or the first of May. The oldest inhabitant can not recall the time when such ■weather prevailed in March. The Jewish feast "of ~ the Passover which celebrates the delivery of the old Hebrew nation out of bondage, began Friday and will last for eight days. This feast almost corresponds with the Christian feast of Easter and this year, being as Easter is a movable feast, it comes on the 15th day of the Hebrew month Nisan, as early as it ever comes in the Jewish calendar, depending on the full moon. During the feast orthodox Jews will not have any leavened bread upon the table, but will eat a sort of cracker or bread made without yeast.
