This will be welcome news to her many frienls.

They made the round trip in Mr. Gay’s automobile, and experienced no trouble in making the trip. The various depots have complied with the license ordinance and have turned the faces of their weighing and chewing gum machines to the wall.

Clarance Kintz, formerly of this city, who has been working at the cigar trade at Lima, for some time, went to Geneva this afternoon for the purpose of looking over the field for putting a cigar shop in that enterprising little place.

The majority of the saloonkeepers in Fort Wayne used discretion Sunday and suspended business, but there were about twenty-five who failed to remove the screens so that a good view of the interior of their places could be obtained and these will answer under affidavits that are being preparel by Prosecutor Dan B.

In accordance with the agreement among the members of the local association the saloons were closed during the morning hours and those who opened for business did so on their own hook in the afternoon and will be compelled to fight the cases against them without financial aid from the organization. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. Freight business on the Chicago & Erie has taken a sudden drop. The usual spring declines was unexpectedly deferred by general prosperity in traffic affairs.

Wabash freight men say their road is handling a great deal of prairie hay into the western portion of Indiana from western points. On the Erie out of this city the number of trainmen has not yet been reduced, but retrenchments are expected by another week in the train department at least. —Huntingon Herald.

Miss Egly quite recently completed a full course of vocal training at Findlay, Ohio, and has made a decided hit wherever she has rendered selections. She expects to get a class in the city and no doubt she will prove to be an exceptionally good instructor as she is devoting her whole time to this line of work.

Mr. Haugk is getting the sand in as fast as possible, as the brick layers keep him on the jump continuously. The hardware men are at present as busy as can be disposing of harvesting good. The season is now on in full blast and many of the farmers need things in this line. The sale of binder twine has started on in earnest and this feature alone means much to the hardware men. Mayor D. C. Anderson, of Huntington has dismissed the libel suits filed by him some time ago against the News-Democrat. The suit resulted from the publication of charged that the mayor had been intoxicated in public places and a sensation was caused by the matter being made public.

They express the belief that if all leaks are stopped the supply of gas will be about the same during next winter as it was last. They are also expected to visit this county —Bluffton Banner. Every farmer who has wood land from which the large timber has been removed and who do not care to clear off the land, should plant youngest forest trees, oaks, maples, hard and soft hickory, or any timber taht will grow into money. This would be a heritage for coming generations of untol value. It should be remembered that at the present time three trees are being cut down to every one that is being planted. How long can this process continue before our country will be an open prairie shorn of its beauty and protection. No farmer who owns real estate can afford to neglect this.for as a question of fuel alone it would be a valuable investment.

ELOPED WITH A NEGRO GIRL. Wabash Minister Causes a Genuine Sensation. A report is afloat about the Rev. Young, who a few months ago created a sensation among his friends by being arrested on a charge of wife desertion that is far worse than plain wife desertion, and if true he should be captured and punished to the full extent of the law, says the Wabash TimesStar. The Rev. Young, it is said, by those who claim to know, is now in Indian apolis, in company with a colored girl, Hattie Farley, of this city, on a pretention of preaching there. The report has it that Young is no regular preacher, but that he uses that pretention in order that he may live easy. It will be remembered that some time ago Young was arrested in this city on a charge of wife desertion. At that time Mrs. Young was living with her parents in Huntington, having been left in almost destitute circumstances at Lagro by her husband. Young squared himself in court by promising to take his family and provide for them. He moved them to this city, locating in the northeast portion of the city, where they now live in destitute circumstances. Young claimed to be a Holiness preacher, going from town to town preaching the gospel. Those from whom this report comes, claim that Young is in love with the Farley girl and that it was for her he deserted his wife the first time. Both the Farley girl and Young disappeared from the city two weeks ago, claiming they were going forth to preach the word of the Lord. It has since been learned that they are in Indianapolis together. The wife and four small children, the oldest being but twelve years of age, are destitute and the oldest child has been canvassing the town during the past few days soliciting aid. If the above story is true and Young has so deserted his wife, leaving in company with the colored girl, the law should be dealt out to him to its fullest extent. The cement sidewalk in front of Dr. J. S. Boyers' office has been completed and adds materially to the appearance of his property. His neighbors should now follow suit and they will have a nice square. The walk was put in by contractor Tom Peterson. At the meeting of the State Bar association at Indianapolis, there is likely to be some lively discussion in state, and some of the attorneys, it is expected, will turn their attention to the supreme and appellate court system of Indiana. It is declared by leading lawyers that the “criminal code of Indiana is rotten.” The finance committee of the common council yesterday paid off several thousands of dollars of outstanding orders and also made their last payment on the engine and dynamo recently installed £it the city plant. Since going into office, this council has reduced the city’s indebtedness several thousands of dollars and has re-established their credit. Will Winnes had his fortune told last evening and the lady who read the same informed Will that Decatur would win the ball game this afternoon by a score of five to three. Will is confident that this will be the result, ar he said she told him of numerous other things that were true. His friends are all taking his dope and are banking on the team winning todays game. Marshal Green was busily engaged yesterday in a little target practice, and as a result three dogs were killed and by this time have been turned into fetrtizer. The killing was the result of several complaints made by property owners in the north part of the city and as no one claimed the animals, the marshal made short work of them. By his work of yesterday Marshal Green showed that his aim is sure death. In a report showing the relief given the poor of the state by township trustees during the year 1906, the board of state charities finds that the number of women aided was 11,057, and the number of girls helped by trustees was 9,138, making a total of 20,375 females. Relief was furnished to 18,237 men and boys. In 1906 the trustees gave aid to the amount of 3233,612.70, which was a reduction of $16,271.98 from the expenditures for 1905. According to the Hartford City papers, Billy Hardin, formerly with the Bluffton team, was assaulted Sunday evening by his wife, while he was in company with several of the Hartford City belles. It seems that Hardin did not know that his wife was in the city and consequently was very much surprised when she made her appearance on the scene. From all the reports the two young ladies also came in for a piece of Mrs. Hardin's mind, and also some very rough usage. o -■ FOR SALE —A creamery; good locaI tion. Inquire at this office. ts
