Stoneburner is the proud possessor of one of the most beautiful pianos ever shown in this city, and the same is a marvel or workmanship. The piano is on display at his music store on Madison street. It will pay you to look at if. Among the pitchers in the semiprofessional company playing today, Harry Hay, of Dunkirk, has without doubt the best average to date, he having pitched six games and lost but one, giving him a per cent of .833. Hay has a deceptive delivery and also a deceptive curve that always keeps his opposing batsmen guessing as to what is coming next.

E. church at one o’clock and interment will be made in the family burial plot at the Salem cemetery. The interurban people will continue the every hour and ahalf schedule Sunday, they being forced to do this owing to the heavy traffic on this day. The line resumed its old run of every three hours today, as the G. A. R. encampment is over and the traffic can be readily handled every three hours. However, on tomorrow, the every hour and a half schedule will be established, and the runs thus made. • Julius Haugk this morning received his first shipment of Logan Block for the Madison street improvement and at once started in to getting them along the street. The brick are beauties and from what is claimed of them are the real article, where it comes to street work, and the property owners along the street may feel justly assured that they are getting the best that money can buy. He expects to commence excavating next week some time. The affidavit that was filed in Squire Smith's court last evening by Mrs. John Rice against her husband for assault and battery, was withdrawn this morning by the prosecuting witness, who stated that John had repented and in the future promised to be good, and would treat her right Under the circumstances, Squire Smith concluded to grant the request of the prosecuting witness and accordingly wiped the case from the docket. The case was the result of a family jar which, when the parties concerned cooled down and concluded to avoid further trouble and notoriety.

A Kansas editor who contracted the habit of going to church, has this to say: "Ladies should take off their hats in church. No preacher can inspire a man who is looking into a lopsided aggregation of dead birds, stuffed weasels, chameleon skin, tassels and thistle down. It makes a sinner feel lost in a wilderness.” It was a Dunkirk man, it is said who took his wife to a physician. The doctor put a fever thermometer in the woman’s mouth and after two or three minutes, just as the doctor was about to remove the instrument, the man who was not used to such a prolonged silence on the part of his life partner, said: “Doctor, w’hat'll you take for that thing?” The conductors on the interurban line reported last night that an automobile was setting along their right-of-way several miles north of the city which presented a deplorable looking condition since the heavy rains. The auto seems to have gone dead on some one's hands and the owner or owners have so far failed to return and claim their property. It was announced in the public schools yesterday that each room should be represented in the Decoration Day parade by the teachers forming in the line of march. This order has been enforced in past years and is a nice and appropriate feature. Several hundred school children will thus participate and which adds another feature to the parade. Practically everything is in readiness for the horse sale next Friday as all the horses have been purchased and will be coming in all the forepart of next week and will be well groomed for the sale. A large number of foreign horse buyers are expected to be on hand and the success of the sale is assured. Fred Reppert will auctioneer the sale, which means spirited bidding. The Chicago National league team Wednesday trailed the colors of the New York team in the dust by defeating them by a score of five to two, thus capturing two out of the three games played and returning to the West tied for first place in the race for the penant. It was practically conceded that New York would win this series, but it seems as if the unexpected happened and it was a case of the worm turning. The real estate men are now the busiest people in our city, when more deals are closed than at any other time. Several of our leading firms in this business report that they have several large deals under headway, which they expect to close in the near future. It is not an uncommon sight to see strangers being conveyed to and fro and in some cases they are able to close with them, and in others they fall down. However, the transfer of property goes merrily on. Since the wool market has opened so brisk in the past few days, the local merchants are all hustling to get their share of this commodity. The price is quoted from 24 to 28 cents, the best quality bringing the later price. Several large consignments were received Friday and today and next week the merchants are looking for the season to open’up in grand style. Owing to the cold weather, a number of the farmers have been backward in clipping their sheep. Hence the scarcity of the commodity. A number of the under class students endeavored to ■ interrupt the class reception that was held last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Dugan, and for a time they made things lively in that end of the city. The students assembled at the Dugan residence early in the evening and at once commenced to shout and make all kinds of noise. Several revolvers were fired off and the din and noise for several hours was something fierce. No attention was paid, however, by the upper class students, and after several hours of enjoyment, the lower classmen dispersed. Some miscreant on last evening stole a beautiful potted fern from the porch at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Bremerkamp, and unless same is returned at once an affidavit will be be filed, as Mr. Bremerkamp is sure he can lay his hands on the guilty party. The man who stole the plant was seen carrying it away by two children who happened to know him, and they reported this knowledge to Mr. Bremerkamp. What stolen article like this is beyond our imagination to state, unless it is a case of kleptimtnia. and he had to be stealing something so took the plant. James Wright the man who Marshal Green arrested yesterday on a charge of public intoxication, was arraigned before the Mayor this morning, where he plead guilty to the charge, was fined a dollar and costs and returned to jail, where he will board it out with Sheriff Meyer. Wright is the man who was arrested a little over a year ago and refused to make an affidavit saying he was without funds and by so doing was forced to remain in jail for several months. The Adams county bastile will no doubt look natural to him.

MRS. McKINLEY SINKS RAPIDLY Her Death is Momentarily Expected and End is Near. Canton, 0., May 25.—Mrs. McKinley is worse. Her heart is weaker and more irregular and she is sinking into the last slep. The end of the battle to prolong her life is near, and her death is expected at any moment, though she may live twenty-four hours. Frequent doses of strychnine are alone keeping her alive. At two o’clock she was just alive, the heart fails to respond further to treatment. Dr. Rixey is constantly at her bedside. —o PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY ENDS One of Greatest Sessions Ever Held— Rev. Fowler Attended. Rev. Alfred Fowler is at home from Columbus, Ohio, where he has been in attendance for several days at the Presbyterian assembly, the 119th session and perhaps the greatset in point, of enthusiasm and interest ever held by that church. The session closed last evening after a rush of routine business. The temperance committee was given $25,000 for use the coming year and six new members were added to the committee. Reports on home missions, sabbath school work, educational matters and other departments were heard. — o FIRST NATIONAL BANK REPORT Shows Splendid Total of Resources and Deposits. The statement of the First National Bank of this city, showing the conditions at the close of business on May 20, 1907, appears in today’s issue and is indeed one that Cashier Dugan and the other officials of this great financial institution may well feel proud. The total resources are more than six hundred thousand dollars, and the deposits reach nearly a half million. — Amos Amstutz, of Berne, was a business caller in our city today and returned to his home this afternoon. Miss Lillie Lewton went to Monroe this afternoon to visit over Sunday with her sister, Mrs. C. L. Johnson. Mr. and Mrs John Nelson returned to their home at Monroe this afternoon. While here they were the guests of friends.
