Judge Pritchard of the Fourch Federal Circuit has won a great deal of “unsavory notoriety” by his action in the case of N. C., which he restrained by a writ of injunction against enforcing a passenger rate law of two lad one-fourth per mile. Pritchard holds this rate to be confiscatory notwithstanding that other states are enjoying a cwo-cent a mile rate, and yet no railroad has gone into bankruptcy on account of it. On account of the abundance of hay this year the market price dropped today. First class new timothy hay now brings from $9 to $lO a ton, and clover and timothy mixed is being bought at from $8 to $9, and clover from $7 to SB. For a while this season it looked as though ifiost of the excellent hay crop would be spoiled by the rain. Wether for a time was quite unfavorable for the havesting. But most of the hay has been saved and proves to be a very good crop.

A man who has opinons of his own and courage to advocate them will be sure to have opposition in this world, because he runs across or contrary to other people's opinins. Don't worry about what other people say. Life is too short for that. Some people will abuse you through envy, others for the want of principle, and some be. cause they honestly differ from you; but if you keep right on, openly, manfully and intelligently, and with your proper dignity of character, honesty of purpose and self respect, those who differ from you will respect you. There are 1,319 savings banks in this country with 3,027,192 depositors, and the average amount due each depositor is $433.79. lowa with 494 of these institutions leads the list, but the number of patrons is only 335,527 while New York with 134 savings funds has 2,637,235 depositors. The deposits in New York are correspondingly high, and the average blanace is $506.25. The best average balance is shown in Ohio, where it reaches $539.89. Rhode Island ranks second in point of average balance. Arrested when he arrived in Indianapolis from Crawfordsville, in the company of Grace Graves, 17 years old, with whom he was reported to be “eloping,” Robert Bowers, alias Bert Harris, is what the police believe to be a good “catch.” A sensational feature in the “elopment” is the fact that Bessie MCollum, in the guise of Bowers' deserted wife, followed the runaway pair, accompanied by Chief of Police Pruitt, and herself landed behind the bars at police headquarters before she had been in the city an hour. The Graves girl is being held pending a full investigation of the affair. —Frankfort Crescent. A letter was received last night from the head officers of the Knights of Pythias lodge from Major General Arthur J. Stobbart. the highest Py. thian official in the United States, saying that the Huntington lodge was conceded the largest membership in the uniform rank in the world, the total number being 201. With this much to their credit the entire lodge have been laboring earnestly in their preparations for the dedication at Indianapolis next week when they are counting on going far to the front in several other ways. They haven t much to say at present but they simply smile and say, “Wait and see.”— Huntington Democrat.

Joe Volmer left this morning for Anderson to transact business. Mrs. A. W. Dull, of Willshire, returned to her home last night after visiting with her son, G. W. Dull, for a short time. The Murray hotel is gradually nearing completion, and they will soon be in shape to handle all kinds of business in perfect style. According to the new Indiana law, children must be named at time of birth. There must be no delay or the attending physician in making his report to the board of health, which in turn makes a return to th estate board may come to the front with a name. Word from Charles Lose and Will Berling states that they left Jamestown, Vinginia, last night for Washington. The boys will be gone for two weeks yet, and they have six cities to visit before returning home. Miss Kathryn Goffrey, of Ft. Wayne will arrive this evening to be the guest of the Nichols’, on Mercer avenue for two weeks. Miss Goffrey is taking a vacation, she being chief operator at the Home Telephone company. The claim that the pure food law is constitutional is probably based in part on the theory that it interferes wih he right of the people to eat and drink what they like. So does the outrageous practice of pumping out people who have taken notice. A number of people will visit Ft. Recovery this week to attend the harvest jubilee that begins Wednesday an dlasts three days. Prizes of all kinds will be offered, and the committeen on arrangements have spared no effort in planning a great big gala occasion. The public schools of this city will open in about three weeks and already the school children are getting ready and planning for the opening day. The j summer vacation has passed very rapidly, in fact too rapidly and many will be sorry to hear the bell ring which announces the opening. According to the report of Treasurer George Irwine, of Kosiusko county, filed with the county commissioners, the county depository is short $13,000. The report shows that but $2,629 is on hands. The treasurer admits that his accounts are badly muddled, but denies the shortage. Very unfavorable wheat reports come from Minnesota and the Dakotas, but it is hard to believe that there is not some exaggeration in them. On the first of the month the reports were not bad, and since then dispatches from various parts of the country have agreed that wheat conditions ivere improving.

Kid McCoy, who won fame in the pugilistic world a few years ago, passed through the city yesterday afternoon enroute from Buskville to Ft. Wayne. He rode in a mammoth racing automobile painted red.

The “Huntington Rubber Co.” is the name of a new institution the business men of Huntington have landed without the use of a single dollar of their factory fund. The com. pany is doing u't- n-..'s at Kenton at present and th-. Huntington factory will be a branch. They will employ one hundred men after getting started and will manufacture rubber heels for shoes, rubber pads for horses and insulators for telephones. There has been a violent outbreak of a new form or advertising* in Memphis, says an exchange. This is a scheme adopted by salesmen of cheap books and small articles to cover the sides of their small suit cases with as large and florid advertisements of their wares as the dimensions of their suit cases will admit. Os course, these “ads” attract a great deal of attention, particularly when the bearer of one of them enters a car, where every one seems to be willing to look at anything rather than to stare out of the windows. McCabe University, of Muncie, is about all in, and it is not likely they would acknowledge the fact unless it w-ere true after having made such a splurge regarding it. Dr. Winchester former president of Taylor University, of Upland, and who was chosen president of McCabe university of Muncie, is expected there this week. It is with his coming, efforts will be made to inject life into the almost extinct project for the opening of a new institution of learning in Normal City. — Hartford City Gazette. The parlor as a parlor will soon be a relic of the past. The very name seems to suggest stiffness and lack of comfort. The new house, even the most modest ones, will have the best room, the one in which th whole family gathers, a warm, sunny place, a home room in its truest sense. The next generation will not waste space on parlors. Perhaps a little library, for privacy, will also be indispensable to many. This cheery; room of ’.he future will hold rhe piano the general books, the picture, work baskets and everything that serves to make home a haven of rest for loyal hearts. Speed the day.

She was visiting at that place and was stricken with typhoid fever, and was unable to battle with the disease. Dr. Smith the father,was called there a few days ago, on account of her illness.

The trip there was taken secretly and none knew of the wedding at the time. They are both quite youthful, Mr. Berry being but nineteen and his bride considerably younger. The 800 bottles of beer and between fifteen and twenty gallons of whiskey and a quantity of imported drinkables confiscated in a raid on The Inn, Johnson & Son’s plac eat Lake Wawasee have been stored away for safekeeping by Constables Rapp, Hire and Cory and Marshal Clemens. The threatened arrests in connection with the raid have not materialized. Practically only about a half square remains to be completed on the Madison street improvement when the same will be ready for the city engineer to examine make his report on the same have the street accepted and free the contractor. This improvement has been rapidly pushed by Mr. Haugk and is claimed by many that the street is one of the best in our city, which speaks volumes for the contractor.
