Sherman Kunkle, of Monmouth, was a business caller to our city yesterday. Tice Baker will leave this morning on a tour throughout the southwestwhere he will look for a location to go into business. Mrs. Costello, wife of Dr. Costello, accompanied by her little daughter, Agnes, attended the graudation exercises of the St. Mary's high school Thursday afternoon—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. Henry Hower, of Jewel county, Kansas, is in our city the guest of friends and relatives. Mr. Hower formerly resided in this county and will be better remembered by the elder generation. He is one of Kansas’ prosperous farmers and says he enjoys the west immensely. He will remain here for a month visiting with and greeting old friends. The horse sale was a crackerjack yesterday, and something like one hundred and fifty head of horses were disposed of and will now go to new homes. A number of foreign buyers were present, and the bidding was spirited. Auctioneer Fred Reppert handed out the talk and his efforts always brought the required amount. The next sale will be held in two weeks. Don't forget “Uncle Rube” at Bosse's Opera House, Monday, April 22nd. It is a laughable comedy drawn with plenty of music and not a dull moment in it. A strong cast will interpret the piece assisted by a large chorus and the Pony quarette. Admission 25c. Benefit of the ladies aid society of the Christian church. Secure tickets from them and get them reserved at usual place. Board opens at 9 a. m., on the 22nd. Don’t forget the date. The next attraction will be that laughable yet dramatic comedy “Ole Olson.” The company is a rare combination of good acing and singing. The actor entrusted with the title role this season has a voice of much sweetness and described as a ricb sympathetic baritone, while his acting is magnetic and full of delightful quaint comedy for which he excels. His songs include: '‘strawberries,’’ “Northland Lullaby,” and “Open Your Mouth and Shut Your Eyes,” giving him an opportunity to show’ his ability as a warbler. Return engagement Opera House.

Graber of the ! county farm this morning sold to David Gerber, nine head of steers for $722,70. The farm also has ready for market over sixty head of hogs.

A company to publish it has j been incorporated by Thad Butler, (John S. Glenn, H. E. Rosebrough, ■ George S. Morris, Morton Stults, -H. . D. McClelland and Henry F.

He has also bought a farm near Craigville, placing it in charge ’ of his son, H. H. Bell.—Bluffton Banner. An unusually large audience heard Mr. Amos W. Butler, of Indianapolis, president of the State Audubon society, last evening in the assembly room of the court house, when he jspoke on “The Migration of Birds.” He reviewed the evolution of. the va- . rous bird families in the state and showed a thorough knowledge of the 1 life characteristics and habits of the ivory-billed woodpecker, the raven, ' the wild ducks, turkeys and pigeons 'long since replaced by other species i now common in the state. —Fort I Wayne Journal-Gazette. The Ninth Congressional district of Indiana continues to be the banner ; rural route district of the state. On ' April 1 the Ninth district had 225 routes. The Sixth district comes second, with 194 routes; Eighth district is third, with 193 routes. The Thirteenth district is fourth, with 191 routes.

Under the new laws it is possible I for the commissioners to order gravel ( road improvements with a great deal less red tape than formerly. Es- • pecial provisions are made for roads ; covered for a distance of three miles by rural routes and for roads three miles in length connecting two other roads. The state is coining to the rescue of the postoffice department fat the matter of good roads for the rural carriers and while the postal de- ■ partment threatens to take away, any routes on roads that are not up to date, the state is making it easier to get road improvements.

A. C. Butcher, of Monroe, has answered the stamp problem to perfection, and his results are absolutely correct in every respect. He admits that he spent some time in figuring out the result, but that in the end he was rewarded with the results that proved out to be correct. His answ’er to the problem is in our possession. The work of stringing the wire on the interurban through the city was commenced this morning and should be ready for use by Tuesday of next week. The new track has all been laid and the work of refilling and putting back the brick is now under operation.

Miss Jennie Mylott left this mornThe' farmers of this county are generally well pleased with the outlook for a good wheat crop. It is safe to say after consultation with a number of those well able to judge, that at least seventy-five per cent of the crop in this county is in good condition. The remainder of the crop is poor. A few farmers have plowed up their wheat to sow the ground with oats. The late sowing caused the most of the failures. There are some fields that will make a full crop, due also to late sowing, and for the reason not enough seed was sowed. Perhaps less wheat has been plowed up this spring than in several years. The acreage is larger than last year. o Violin Recital at Bosse’s Opera House, Tuesday evening April 16th. FOR SALE —All kinds of vegetable plants. See Mrs, Gloss. 91-3 t

E. Earnest Bergman, pastor. Last Sunday was a big day for the Sunday school.

Bert Trolley Wheels. It has now been settled without question, says the that the best trolley wheels are those which contain no lead. The constant arching of the wheel and wire burns out the lead and causes the wheel to wear rapidly. If a trolley wheel is found which contains lead it is certain that it will wear out rapidly. It is very difficult to obtain scrap metals on the market which do not contain lead. For this reason trolley wheels must be manufactured from new metals. Fame. "There’s three ways,” observed the philosopher on the cracker barrel, "for a man to hand his name down to posterity. He’s got to be a great warrior, or a great statesman, or a great rascal; and, by jocks, once in awhile there’s a man that’s all three!”

GOOD HEALTH IS ENJOYED By People Who Live in University Addition. While God's saints stay in this world, it is eminently proper that they . should seek a home as much like heaven as is possible, provided the work- to which God has called them does not forbid. Some men and women are called of God to live in the darkest parts of the world, where the surroundings suggest hell rather than heaven. But we are writing to those who can choose their home. Many persons are looking for a place where the sanitary conditions are the best; where they can have good religious privileges; where the society is conducive to religious enjoyment and spirtual growth; where the eye and ear are not pained by outbreaking exhibitions of sin; and where the youthful members of the household may be educated according to the highest intellectual and spiritual standards. We firmly believe that the immediate vicinity of Taylor University is just such a place as we have been describing. The university is one mile from the village and railway station of Upland. A more healthful place could not well be imagined. The writer of this has resided in several states, and in many different parts of one of the great states of the Union, and has never seen a locality which he regarded as more salubrious than this. There is nothing whatever in all this region to pollute the atmosphere. —From editorial by C. W. Winchester, president. o MISSION HALL. There will be preaching at the Mission Hall Saturday evening 7:30. Prayer and praise meeting Sunday afternoon at 2:30 and Sunday evening at 7:30 preaching again. Mrs. Mathens, of Lima, Ohio, will preach Saturday and Sunday evening. The interest in these meetings are growing. We expect other workers with us soon. All are kindly asked to attend these meetings and to take interest in these meetings. Chancey Stetson, Leader. o Important Notice to Taxpayers.
