From Anderson comes the story of Hartford City and Anderson desiring berths in the Indiana-Ohio league next season. The writer says there will be eight teams in the league instead of six and that Hartford City and Anderson will fill the vacant berths. Local followers are not very enthusiastic over entering such a league as 1.-O. If Hartford City has a team it will doubtless be an independent aggregation. A little wind storm could blow the league away now. —Hartford City News. Earl Forst, son of Emory Forst and wife, of this city, narrowly escaped drowning at Lake George last week, where he went to spend his outing. He was out in one of the “bicycle boats” when a cog wheel got out of working order. He stepped back into the boat to fix it and the boat over-j turned. Earl was thrown into the water and could not help himself be- j cause he got tangled in the rigging. Fortunately he was near shore and a farmer was able to reach him in time, to rescue him. He would have been gone in a few minutes. He arrived home last night to spend a week. Bluffton News.

“Bismark,” of Berne, the only real and original glasseater,was in the city Wednesday evening very much under the influence of tangle foot and entertained a large audience at the G. R. and I. and L. E. and W, depots. He was on his way to Celina, to attend the fair. He was exceedingly full but when any one would make reference to his drunken condition he would become angered. He said the devil had him and that he could not overcome his desire for booze. He is regarded as a clever joker among strangers, when he is not reminded of his bad habits and furnishes no end of fun for those who give him an ear.— Portland Sun. About midnight last night Mr. and Mrs. Sam Valentine, of south Morgan street, were awakened by the barking of their house dog and after commanding the animal to be quiet they returned to sleep. This morning the cause of the dog’s disturbance was learned, when going into the parlor Mrs. Valentine discovered the screen partiaJly removed from the front window of the house. It is supposed that a burglar attempted to effect an entrance into the house through this window but was frightened away by the alarm raised by the dog. Trampled grass on the outside of the window showed that some one had been at work there. —Bluffton Banner.

I J. S. Bowers went to Geneva this morning to look after business affairs. G. C. Steele, of the Racket store, returned from Toledo last night where he bought the largest stock of holiday goods ever brought to Decatur. He witnessed the $25,000 fire in the heart of Toledo business district which destroyed a four story brick building. The whole business district was threatened at one time. Eight fire engines worked four hours to gain control of the flames. Tonight's program at the electric theater is one that will please beyond expression. It appeals to your sense of humor and yet. it is too lifelike and real to be simply laughed at. Cohen’s fire sale is the title of the play, and it is the clever invention of a merchant to stiumulate his waning trade, and to say it worked is putting it mildly. It’s a hot number, not a dull moment in it from start to finish, and should be well patronized.
