Wonder how many of the high-chool graduates can punctuate it so as to make good reading: “That that is is that that is not is not that it it is.”

Faroux, a French statistician, the United States now leads the world in the manufacture of automobiles.

R. F. Cummins and L. C. Justus returned yesterday from Philadelphia and other eastern points where they have been for several days on interurban business. The latter is looking after the financial end of the eastern extension of the M. B. & E., but had nothing to give out concerning the road. Mr. Cummins was trying to buy some summer cars for the line to be used at the park near Marion, but did not make a purchase.—Bluffton News. It is es;imated that the continued cold weather has killed 8,000,000 tomato plants in Indiana alone and damaged the pea crop heavily. The damage to the latter crop cannot be estimated, but the damage to the tomatto crop amounts to about 8 per cent of the number of plants set out yearly. "The condition is not alarming. It merely means that the early crop of tomatoes usually in the market by the first of August, will be from a week to three weeks late.” The first session of the new Elkhart/ superior court at Elkhart was convened Monday morning with Judge Vernon W. Van Fleet upon the bench. The session was brief, lasting but five minutes, and was held in the city hall building. The Elkhart superior court, although tied up with injunctions and harrassed by opposition from Goshen, is now an established tribunal and. unless the supreme court rules to the contrary, will have jurisdiction on a party to that of the circuit court at Goshen in all matters of law and equity. Safe blowers operated at Garrett early Monday morning, pulling off two jobs successfully. The safe in the A. C. Widmer saloon was blown and $126 in cash stolen, and at the Bert Gingery meat market the robbers sesured but 12 cents in cash, though they carried off several hams and a pile of canned fruit.

Anderson, manager of Che Western Union Telegraph office at Marion, and Miss Jessie Wilson, a telegraph operator at Chicago, will be united in marriage. Mr. Anderson met Miss Wilson during a business visit to the offices of the company in Chicago two years ago, and their wooing has been done almost entirely over the telegraph wires. They will reside in Marion.

Charles Phillips went to Sidney,. 0., today to attend the wedding of a friend.

Lutz was at Portland yesterday, where he acted as special judge in several important cases in Judge LaFollette's court. Dr. J. Q. Neptune and wife returned this morning from Chicago, where they spent their honeymoon and are now at home at the corner of Jefferson and Third streets. While in Chicago they called upon Mrs. Knoff, who formerly resided here, and her son, Jay Weldy, and they were royally entertained by the former Decaturites and received a hearty welcome, and both Mr. and Mrs. Neptune are loud in their praise concerning the pleasBecause of a desire to do better and to make amends for his past wrong, Jesse McGeath, who last week confessed having misappropriated $628 of the funds of the United States Express company with which he had been entrusted as agent, joined church Sunday. Before the congregation in the Christian church he made his avowal to turn over a new leaf by walking to the altar at the earnest solicitation of Rev. Kay ahd giving himself up to God. —Hartford City Gazette. Judge R. K. Erwin was attending to legal matters at Portland yesterday. The horse sale to be held Friday at the sale stables under the auspices of the Decatur Horse Sale Co. promises to be a crackerjack and will far outshine any former sale given by this company. A large number of big draft and driving horses have been secured and as a large number of foreign horse men will be present, the success of the sale is assured. If you are in need of a horse, be on hand early and put your bid in. It is a settled fact that Noblesville will have base ball next summer. Negotiations are now pending for a lease on several acres of the Randolph farm south of the city for a park. It is expected that the contract for the park will be signed with in a week. It will be located near an interurban stop and enclosed by a tight board fence. Charles Smith, who assisted in the management of the club Noblesville had last year, and Jack Melvin are behind the present movement. —Frankfort Crescent.

Every purchaser of a lot in Greater Bluffton and every citizen is requested to be present at the opera house Friday evening at 8 o'clock at which time the purchasers of the lots will arrange a plan for drawing chances and will have the drawing. There was a meeting of the directors of the association last evening at the Commercial Club rooms and this action was decided upon. Today cards were mailed to every purchaser of lot's, asking them to come to the meeting and participate in the prize drawing.—Bluffton Banner. The reporter on the Portland Commercial Review, who wrote up the article concerning a rebellion in the Decatur high school must have been short of news or else he has a full sized nest of bees in his bonnet. There has as yet been no trouble of any description in the high school, and everything is running smooth as can be. When the time comes for the issuance of the invitations for ahe commencement exercises the students will no doubt confer with the school board as to what should go on the same, and their wishes will no doubt be complied with in every respect. The lovers of base ball will have an opportunity to witness some good diamond work in this section of the country during 1907. From appearances the neighboring towns are preparing to surprise their opponents when the season opens. Bluffton will be represented with its usual good team; Ralph Behringer, who captained the Lebanon team last year, will manage and captain Decatur this year, and Wolf, Portland's catcher last year, will captain Dunkirk. Hartford City is getting her players together now and promises a strong aggregation. Richmond promises to have one of the strongest teams in the state—Frankfort Crescent. The case of the Dean Fruit company vs. the Clover Leaf railroad company, asking S7OO damages for alleged losses due to negligence of railroad employes in handling a car of peaches over the line in 1902, will be brought up in the courts at St. Louis this week and employes at St. will attend as witnesses. The car was turned over to the company at Decatur and agent Miller at that city says that within two hours after the arrival of the car there on the G. R. & I. it was transferred and sent out and the agent at Frankfort claims ice was placed in the refrigerators at Frankfort. Employes of the railroad at St. Louis will testify that the fruit company did not call for their shipment until two days after they were notified that the car was in the yards. —Frankfort Crescent.

Mrs. Graham returned to Monroe today after spending the day with friends. Louis Stump, who was arrested yesterday by Constable Frank Smith,was arraigned before Squire Smith last evening to answer to a charge of disturbing a religious meeting. Stump admired the charge and was fined five dollars and costs, amounting in all to twenty dollars. He paid his fine and stated that hereafter he would behave himself at church as it cost too much to cut up. S. W. Peterson, the hay man, is confined to his home and bed in the south part of the city suffering from an attack of inflammatory rhumatism. He is unable to help himself in any respect and it is necessary for some one to care for him at all times. His illness, however, is not considered anything dangerous at this time. Rev. John C. White afcd family are busily engaged at present in packing their household goods and effects preparatory to moving to Logansport, where they expect to make their future home. They expect; to have everything in readiness to move either the later part of this week or the first part of next week. Word from manager Behringer, at Frankfort, imparts the information that he has signed Burns, the hard hitting left fielder, who played here lasfi season. Burns is the man who won a home with the fans by his hard, consistent playing, and that he has affixed his name to a Decatur contract is welcome news to the fans. With Linderbeck as a side partner, two of the garden positions have been well filled. The daily papers at Frankfort yesterday announced that they would receive subscriptions of money for the purpose of supporting a baseball team during the coming summer. Frankfort usually has a crack-a-jack team and they will probably be represented by a strong aggregation this year. Many of their former sws are now playing in fast company, however, and the Frankfort line-up will be some diferent from heretofore. A letter was received this morning from Marshal Comingor, now playing with Augusta, Georgia, in which he says that he is dissatisfied with the place, and that while he has been making good, he would much prefer to play with Bluffton if he could secure a berth. He is the flinger who worked against the Cincinnati Reds last season, holding them to four hits and allowing but two runs off his teasers —Bluffton Banner.
