The injury while not healed entirely, is mending . nicely and all danger of blood poison is over. The interurban railway this morning shipped the largest shipment of freight ever shipped over the line ,since its operation. The shipment being thirty-five thousand pounds to Ft. Wayne. This speaks well for the interurban line, especially for the freight department. Thomas Buckmaster is walking about the streets with his right hand done up in banadages the result of running a large splinter in his hand while doing some carpenter work. A , part of the splinter still remains in , the hand and for a time it was feared , that blood poison would set in. However, this danger is past, and the in- , jury is healing nicely.

Shelton and Edwin Fledderjohann returned this morning from Huntington. Ind., where they leased a locomotive engine and purchased one for the use of the local line in hauling out gravel to ballast their line between this city and Ft. Wayne. The engines will arrive in a few days, and the work of hauling out the gravel will be started at once, and the line will then be put in perfect shape for fast running. If enumeration statistics of Terre Haute are correct that city is now the third in size in the state, a position heretofore held by Ft. Wayne. The enumeration this year shows an increase of 3,900, which is equivalent to a population in crease of 15,000. The superintendent of city schools of the three largest cities in the state form the state board of education and the board will now be made up of the superintendents from Indianapolis, Evansville and Terre Haute, the Ft. Wayne superintendent retiring. The people of Bluffton are evidently content to let the Roosevelt special train go whizzing past this station just as though we were a flag stop. This was made evident when not a single person responded to a call for volunteers to meet last night and arrange the preliminary plans of a stop over. It had been expected that the president’s train could be stopped long enough to give the people here a chance to see him. However, as the train will not likely go through Bluffton till somewhere near 9 or 10 o’clock, few cared to wait up and run the chance of not seeing Teddy after all. —Bluffton Banner.

Word was received today from Linn Grove announcing the death of Mrs. Fred Meyers, of French township. Death resulting from appendicitis. Mrs. Meyers had been sick but eleven days she being unable to withstand the ravages of the disease. An operation was to have been performed yesterday but as she was in no condition, the doctors refused to perform the same. She was a well known lady, and had a number of friends here who will be grieved to learn of her sudden demise. Owing to the advanced price of wheat in the Chicago and Toledo exchanges, the local merchants are quoting wheat today at 85 cents per bushel. What it will be tomorrow depends solely upon how the price is regulated in the two above markets. The Chicago and Toledo markets closed strong again today, September wheat at one time reaching $1.00%, which is remarkable. All local merchants, however, are firm in their belief that it will go higher yet. How would you like to own several thousand bushels right now. In completing his annual inspection of the factories of Marion, state inspector Williamson finds that there are over 1,000 more employes in the Marion factories than when the last inspection was made a year ago and he also finds that the men employed are working under the best of sanitary conditions and appliances. John Walters, 70 years of age and a pioneer resident of Huntinfcton county, died Tuesday morning at his home west of Warren as the result of injuries sustained Sunday afternoon, when he was kicked by a horse. Uncle John Studabaker is again able to be at his office and although he is bordering on ninety years of age, is nearly helpless and almost totally blind his mind is as clear on business matters as at any time in the past twenty years. On coming to his office yesterday he resumed business where he had left off when he was taken sick, and seemed to know just what to do and how to do it. His mind is still capi able of managing his various affairs and he goes at them with a vim that • is surprising in a man of his age.— Bluffton News.
