Ed Touhey was released from the Adams county bastile Saturday, where he had served sixty-three days on a conviction for assault with attempt to rape. Ed left Saturday evening for Wooster, Ohio, where he has accepted a position with his brother-in-law. Just before the return of the jury in the case in which he was being tried on a paternity charge, Howard Hiatt fled from the court at Wabash and he cannot be located. He had been in attendance at the case all day, but evidently feared the result of the jury’s deliberations and skipped out. The jury found for the defendant. True Fristoe, while wrestling with several of his friends, had the misfortune to throw his thumb out of place, which may deprive the Columbian club of his services at Ae show this evening. The injury is to his right hand and although not serious, is very painful. He is doctoring the same and trying to get it in shape for this evening’s performance of “Santiago.” Jesse Sellemeyer returned Saturday from Huttig, Arkansas, where he has been in the employ of a large timber concern. Mr. Sellemeyer says that he does not like the south very well, and that he was tickled to death to return home. He is undecided what he will do at present, but says the first thing he expects to do is to take a long needed rest, as he has been working hard every day since he left this city six months ago. Norman Lenhart and Charles Patton were at Clear Lake over Sunday fishing. While there they made arrangements for the ground upon w’hich they will pitch their tent.

The horse sale on Friday, May 31st, promises to be a cr'ackerjack, as a number of well bred horses have already been purchased and are quartered at the sale stables rbady for the slaughter. A force of scouts are out over the country looking for good thoroughbred animals, and they fully expect to have something ike one hundred and fifty first class animals on hand when the sale opens.

Julius Haugk, who received the contract to pave Madison and Third streets, started work this morning and says he will push the same to completion as rapidly as possible. The work of distributing the brick along the street is now under operation, and the removal of the curb, which will have to be redressed, is also being done. Mr. Haul's is confident he will complete the street within the required time and this week expects to start excavating and will then employ a large force of men. The latest production of True Fristoe, the musician, will be rendered this evening at the Bosse Opera House when ‘'Santiago" will be produced for the first time. The song “I’m the Butler” is original in every respect, and is one of the best he has ever produced. While the music to the, “Red Cross Girls" is catchy and up to date, this also being written by Mr. Fristoe, while the words were written by Henry Thomas That these two songs will make a hit is a foregone conclusion, and the composers are entitled to credit for their ingenuity. Sheriff Lipkey and Marshal Carlisle returned yesterday afternoon at three o’clock from Richmond, where they had taken William Linn. They found the most of the Wells county people getting along nicely, but Charles. Jones, who was removed from this city some months ago, grows steadily weaker and seems to be sinking rapidly. He has got so weak that he is no longer violent. Mrs. Kane, the south side woman who was removed during the winter, shows no improvement. As to Terrell, the hospital authorities report that “He is just the same.”— Bluffton Banner.

All grades of wheat are quoted in the ninety mark, and within a few cents of the dollar and that a raise will come Is the opinion of all grain men. Harvey Myers, who resides in the south part of the city is in a serious condition suffering from an attack of pneumonia. He has been sick for several weeks and no hopes for his recovery are entertained. His case is in charge of a trained nurse and he is being given every care and attention.

Pitcher Geyer arrived today from Columbus and is resting up so as to be ready for the preliminary exercises tomorrow. He is a husky chap, and is reputed as*tielng a fine pitcher. He is a south paw and will fill out the team in nice shape, as a left handed pitcher is always a hard proposition for any tern to bat against. Here's hoping Geyer has the goods. The old soldiers are making great preparations for the grand army encampment to be held at Ft. Wayne the 22, 23 and 24. of this month and a large delegation will attend from this city. Arrangements have been made to carry the old soldiers relief corps and their families for reduced rates and the tickets are now on sale at the Everett Hite & Sons’ store, and those desiring to avail themselves of the rate are requested to purchase their tickets at once as on the day set for the opening of the reunion full fare will be charged. A number of people outside the above named parties will attend the encampment. All the interurban roads entering Fort Wayne enjoyed a heavy passenger traffic yesterday both in and out of Fort W’ayne. The Decatur line was forced to put on several extra cars to handle the crowds and cars on the other lines were all crowded. Travel on the Fort Wayne-Logansport line was rendered unusually heavy by the fact that 250 members of the local council of Knights of Columbus went over the road to Huntington, where they attended some iniatiatory ceremonies of the Huntington lodge and where the Fort Wayne team conferred some degree work.—Journal-Gazette. Sister Alphonsa, for many years mother superior of St. Rochus hospital, died of pneumonia after a four weeks’ illness at St. Joseph’s hospital Sunday night at 9:30 o'clock. She was sixty-two years of age, and entered the order of Poor Handmaids of Christ in girlhood, devoting her entire life to the service of God and suffering humanity. When the hospital for consumptives was established here some years ago Sister Alphonsa, one of the best nurses in the order, was placed at its head and her management was most successful.— Journal-Gazette. Sister Alphonsa was quite well known in this city.

Nachtrieb, the druggist, while walking in the woods near this city ran onto some ginseng roots that was growing wild. This root is worth sixteen dollars a pound and would be a nice thing for any one to stumble on in quantities. However, that this root is growing wild In this soil goes to prove that it would be no task at all to raise it. The divorce proceedings that were instituted against Benjamin Amerine in the Kokomo superior court did not materialze, as Mrs. Amerne anticipated, but the defendant was dismissed. Several serious allegations were contained in the complaint and not a single one was substantiated, consequently the case was dismissed. L. C. DeVoss represented the defendant and from all reports he was too shrewd for his opponents, besides he seems to have had the side of the case that deserved to win.
