The warm lavs are inakin:s business for the people who tell door and window screens. Flies and other insects have mile their apparance and the screens are needed. Many screens have to be renewed every season, although if they were cared for through the winter it is probable they would last longer.

Miss Merle Burdg returned yesterday from a business trip to Bluffton. Shafer Peterson has returned from a two days’ business trip to Cleveland. A number of out-of-town people were in town yesterday witnessing the ball game. William Foughty left early this morning for Newark, 0., to be a witness in a trial at that place. Mrs. Lafayette Ellis returned last night from a visit with relatives at Muncie, Anderson and other cities in the gas belt. Miss Clara Schultz who has been working at Ft. Wayne for some time is in the city on a visit and will return to that place next Sunday. Work is progressing nicely in the ballasting of the interurban bed. When the ballasting is completed the road will be as good as any in this section. Columbia City was to have paved two streets this year, but when the bids were opened the price was considered too high and now the city council has wisely decided to wait until next January to let the contract. At that time of the year contractors are keen for jobs and material men are selling cheaper than when the rush is on.—Garrett Clipper. Girls have been advised that if their best fellow overstays his time when he comes to see them, spring this on him and if he does not “take a tumble” he is too stupid to ever call again says an exchange. Here it is: Take any number between nine and one, multiply by nine, cross out left hand figure, add thirteen, add the number you started with and watch the young man's countenance. All postmasters have received orders to begin on July 1 and continue for six months before the departure of the train. This is to enable the office force to weigh each class of matter separately, a record of which must be kept and forwarded to Washington. Patrons of the office are requested to take notice that unless mail is brought to the office 30 minutes before train time it will not be dispatched until the next outgoing mail. A rumor started a run on the Van Buren bank Wednesday that for a while threatened seriously. E. N. Blackburn, cashier of the Marion National bank, came over with a, wad that soon settled all fears. Then just to assure the depositors that everything was all right the bank officials called a bank examiner to go over the books and make a statement. It seems there was no cause for the excitement.

Hon. W. P. O’Neal, of Richmond, is visiting Dr. C. B. Wilcox. Dr. Wilcox will lecture on Savanarola at the M. E. church Sunday evening. An ice cream social will be heir next Saturday evening June 29th at Honduras in the interest of the Christian Union church. All are cordially invited to attend. Mrs. James McMullen and daughter Marie, Miss Georgina Lauer and Miss Marie Miller, of Ft. Wayne, who came to attend the St. Joseph commencement exercises, are the guests of Dr. Costello. Her is the latest —A farmer has made the discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows the onions being so strong, brings tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such volumns that the roots of the vines are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of the drouth. The remains of Vilas Corey, the three year old son of John Corey, of Berne, were taken through Portland Friday, leaving here on the noon train for Hume, Ohio, where burial will occur on Saturday morning. The following people accompanied the remains: John Corey, his two sisters, Miss Edna Corey, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas and Bert Ibbotson. —Portland Review. Rural route carriers report that the rains and hot weather of the last few days have been working wonders; with the crops. The corn is growing remarkably fast, but it has been almost too wet for farmers to plow it as they would like to. Those who have new ground in corn, difficult to plow', are afraid the weeds will get ahead of them. The oats crop is heading. It looks as though there would be a good yield of wheat, and the outlook for a large hay crop is good. Recent rains, while they have not been so welcome to the farmers as might be, are making an abundance of early fruit. Charles B. Mclntyre, for the past fourteen years an employe of the Clover Leaf railroad, had his right leg cut off, below the knee, while attempting to get on the foot board of a switch engine at Madison, Wednesday evening. Mr. Mclntyre was taken to the Heinretta hospital where the surgeons amputated his leg above the knee. The injured man is well and favorably known by the employees and they speak of him in the highest of terms. When the news of his calamity reached here his friends could not believe it for they knew him as one of thd most careful of men.—Frankfort Crescent. This w'arm weather will make the old swimming hole an attractive place for the small boy. Not only that ,it will also increase the desire on the part of the young man to take a punge in the stone quarry or the river. Every year there are many sad cases of drowning reported just because there is carelessness about this thing of going swimming. Fear is one of the things that boys and young men never entertain while the swimming season is here, and frequently it is the fellow who is the best swimmer who goes to the bottom and loses his life. The lad who cannot swim has sense enough generally to remain close to shore or in water that he can readily chin. It is a good time to advise people who go swimming in deep water to be careful; the advice may’ not amount to much but it is good just the same. County Health Officer Dr. Louis Severin drove to Markle this forenoon and made an examination of William Schwartz, the laborer, who was found to be afflicted with smallpox one week ago Monday. He found the disease had vanished, the scales over the pox sores having been removed yesterday by Dr. Fisher, of Markle, the attending physician, and pronouncing the case completely cured, lifted the quarantine from the house. There seems to be but little chance that the disease will spread farther than the one patient, as the time has passed for those who were exposed to the malady to become affected. The members of the Schwartz family were vaccinated as soon as the nature of his illness was learned and none of them show' signs of being attacked. Bluffton Banner. O--FUNERAL MONDAY (Continued from page 1.) assisted by Rev. Wilcox. Interment will be made in the Maplewood cemetery. The deceased has lived in this county since she was six months old until five years ago, when she w’ent to Ft. Wayne to live with her son-in-law, S. D. Crist. Her health has not been of the best for several years past and the news of her death did not come as a great surprise to her many friends here. No doujt a large number of Decatur people/will attend the funeral services.

DATES ARRANGED Decatur and Bluffton to Meet Wednesday FIRST GAME TO BE PLAYED HERE Return Date at Bluffton on Friday— Big Doings in the Base Ball Line. The deed is done —the battle day is fixed. Decatur and Bluffton, rivals for half a century, will meet on the ball diamond here next Wednesday afternoon at 3:30. It will be a ball game, every inch and will be fought with a stubbornness that will make every fan for miles around hold his breath. Both towns have as good ball clubs as will be found in the country and both will try to win. Managers Behringer of Decatur and Clem Kain of Bluffton talked over the ’phone about two minutes this morning and concluded the arrangements, Bluffton to come here Wednesday and we to return the compliment by going there Friday. It is expected that a number of games will be played between the two teams during the season and it is possible that a double header will be played on July 4th. Arrangements as to the umpires and other details will be made within a day or two and announced. Suffice it to say at this time that you can see the greatest ball game of the season here next Wednesday. q YEAR FROM TODAY (Continued from Page 1.) full of interest until the hour the nomination is made. It would not be worth while to attempt to conceal the fact that many of the most influential men of the party beieve today that the president will be forced to accept another nomination. On the other hand the president’s most intimate friends are firmly fixed in the belief that he meant what he said when he declared on election night of 1904 that he would not accept another nomination. It is true, too, that the president has on many occasions within the last few months repeated with emphasis the announcement that he is not to be considered. Assuming that the president is out of it, which one must admit is purely an assumption, the field is most inviting to men who aspire to occupy the White House. Assuming that the convention’s committee on credentials follows precedents set by former conventions there will be 992 delegates in the convention. This means that the candidate who wins the prize must get 497 votes. Here is how the voting strength of the convention will be distributed: Alabama, 22; Arkansas, 18; California, 20; Colorado, 10; Idaho, 6; Illinois, 54; Indiana, 30; lowa, 26; Kansas, 20; Kentucky, 26; Louisiana, 18; Maine 12; Maryland 16; Massachusetts 32; Michigan 28; Minnesota 22; Mississippi 20; Missouri 36; Montana 6; Nebraska 16; Nevada 6; New Hampshire 8; New Jersey 24; NewYork 78; North Carolina 24; North Dakota 8; Phillipine Islands 2; Connecticut 14; Delaware 6; Florida 10; Georgia 26; Ohio 4n; Oklahoma 14; Oregon 8; Pennsylvania 68; Rhode Island 8; South Carolina 18; South Dakota 8; Tennessee 24; Texas 36; Utah 6; Vermont 8; Virginia 24; Washington 10; West Virginia 14; Wisconsin 26; Wyoming 6; Alaska 6; District of Columbia 2; New Mexico 6; Arizona 6; Hawaii 2; Porto Rico 2. It is not at all certain that the convention will permit the territories and the non-contiguous territories to have the representation here given them but in any event the convention will be made up of about 990 delegates. oMrs. Laura Gazette, son and daughter, of Little Rock, Arkansas, are visiting her sister, Mrs. B. W. Sholty. Mrs. Gazette was formerly Miss Vincent and resided in this city. Mr. J. W. Rusk, of Mansfield, Ohio, has joined his wife and sons here for an over Sunday visit with Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
