This street was certainly in need of this improvement and the residents living there are glad it has been made. Willshire is proud of the fact that four new brick business buildings are being erected in their prosperous little town and well they may be, for this kind of progressiveness makes work for the leborers and speaks well for the town in general.

The Park Hotel opened Sunday morning under the new management Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Diller, and under the existing circumstances did a nice business. The hotel is nicely located and has been arranged comfortably in every respect and we predict that the new proprietor has more business than he can handle in the near future. Arthur Krueger, of Ft. Wayne, formerly a lesident of Cecil, Paulding county, is under arrest as a suspect in connection with the murder of Marshal Cory, of Woodburn. He was taken into custody by the Ft. Wayne officers and, at the prison, has told a story which so clearly defines his movements on the day of and since the murder that it is believed he is innocent. He is being held, however, for a thorough investigation, by reason of the fact that he was at Woodburn on the night of the tradegy — Van Wert Bulletin. G. T.

Those coming from the church lent a helping hand and the fire was put out, after burning the roof off the summer kitchen and doing some slight damage to the balance of the house. —Bluffton Banner. L. D. Bell of this office, went to Ft. Wayne last evening, where he underwent a little surgical operation, having fourteen moles removed from his face, and he at present represents a smallpox patient. Dr. Wells did the work and from the appearance of Mr. Bell's face he did his duty in a proficient manner. By the way, girls, the operation made a handsome man out of Bell.

Reports sent out from Frankfort rather indicate that the Decatur team did the baby act in quitting the field Sunday, and that they did it without cause. However, they fail to state that for eight innings they took the best of every decision in an effort to win even if they had to steal it. While we do not uphold Linderbeck's act of throwing the ball away, it was no doubt a case of forbearance ceasing to be a virtue and Frankfort will have to change her tactics or lost her heretofore reputation of a fair town. Decatur has the best ball team in the state and Frankfort knows it better than any team we have met. A horse and buggy, the property of Perle McMichaels, a I’,'rmer living south of town, was stolen from the south side of the hitch rack Saturday night. No clew has been obtained to the identity of the thief. The horse was hitched at the rack early in the evening .and the owner was doing some trading around town. At 10 o’clock Perle was ready to go home, but the outfit was missing. The authorities were notfied, but no clew could be found. The farmer and several friends stent all day Sunday searching for the stolen property, but with poor results.—Hartford City News. If all the fruit dealers in the city follow the example set recently by the commission merchants, the people purchasing the large bananas will get less for their money than those who take the last from the bunch. The commission merchants have adopted the plan of selling bananas to the dealers by the pound. The bunch is weighed and the stem and all is thus accounted for. The retail dealers are taking the same course in some places by selling the fruit by the pound instead of by the dozen. Os course they have the large and heavy stems left on their hands, but the retail price per pound is made to make up for the cost of the wasted part. It is expected that within a few months stamp vending machines will be placed in drug stores for the convenience of the public. A very important communication from the postal department is that in the near future these vending machines and automatic stamping machines will be manufactured for the government for the sale of stamps. The machines will be placed in drug stores, where up to now stamps have been sold as a matter of accommodation to the public. This will do away with a great source of annoyance to the druggists, who are now compelled to waste the time of their clerks by selling stamps, in which there is, of course, absolutely no profit.

Mrs. George Hauser went to Indianapolis this morning to be the guest of her daughter, Mrs. William Lyman for some time.

Mayfield, of McKeesport, Pa, arrived in the city today and she will visit several days with John Smith and family. Mrs. Dorsie Moorehead, of Wren, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. G. W. Dull for the last few days, returned to her home this afternoon. City Attorney Strong and Attorney Hildebrand, of Columbia City were in our city today inspecting the street work that is under way. The city of Columbia City has several miles of street to let in the near future and these gentlemen desired to ascertain what kind of work was being carried out in our city. They seemed much pleased with the manner in which contractor Haugk did his work and may recommend the same plans and specifications. oLet No One Boast. Nevertheless, let no one boast. Just as every man, though he be the greatest genius, has very definite limitations in some one sphere of knowledge, and thus attests his common origin with the essentially perverse and stupid mass of mankind, so also has every man something In his nature which is positively evil. Even the best—nay, the noblest—character will sometimes surprise us by isolated traits of depravity, as though it were to acknowledge his kinship with the human race. In which villainy—nay, cruelty—ls to be found in that degree.—Schopenhauer. nufnan itdiUie. "Why are guests so habitually discontented?” asked the landlord. “They’re not really discontented,” answered the clerk. “They merely want to convey a favorable impression about what they are used to at home.’’— Washington Star. The Hymn He Didn’t Want. A young man who was to be married in church to a Miss Way,' after a courtship of four years, privately requested the choir not to open the service by singing, “This is the Way I long have sought.” mutation or ebony. There are two processes, says the Carriage Monthly, in use in the imitation of ebony. Take a fine grained piece of wood, use French black polish, made black w’ith fine coloring matter, or good air drying black varnish may be applied. This, however, gives only a superficial coloring, and when the edges W’ear off the light colored wood shows. The other method is to wash three or four times any dense wood with a boiling concoction of logwood. allowing it to dry between each application. Then wash with a solution of acetate of iron, which is made by dissolving iron filings in vinegar. This stain is very black and penetrates into the wood so that ordinary wear and chipping will not show the original color. Ants the ideal Communists. It would perhaps be pushing metaphors to an unwarranted extreme to speak of “dignity of labor” in connection with the occupations of ants. But if by the phrase we mean that labor is the honorable lot of all citizens, and that all labors of whatever sort are upon the same level of respectability, then we might venture to apply tbs saying even to the labors of an ant bill. For therein all are workers, from the newly fledged callow to the veteran of a second summer.—Henry McCook in Harper’s.

An Epitaph. In a little churchyard near Llanymynech, Wales, is a tombstone with these lines upon it: In crossing o’er the fatal bridge John Morgan he was slain, But it was not by mortal hand. But by a railway train. John Morgan was the huntsman to the Tanatside harriers and paid the capital penalty for taking a short cut along the Cambrian line. Intelligent Strength. It is known that the largest church bells may be set in motion by a man or even a boy who pulls the ropes attached to them at proper and regular intervals, even when their weight of metal is so great that the strongest man could scarcely move them sensibly If he did not apply his strength in de terminate periodical intervals. —Helmholtz. Not Literal. “Papa, this paper says a lot of men In office had their heads cut off. Did they cut them off with an ax?” “No, my boy; with a sharp move.”— Baltimore American. Never Did. Railroad Superintendent—That new engineer doesn’t use much coal. His Assistant—l know. He used to be a janitor—Brooklyn Eagle.
