Bollinger assistant cashier. —Berne News. > j J. B. Stoneburner is offering another L prize at the Pictorium for the month of September and now expects to give . twenty dollars’ worth of merchandise. Stoneburner is a hustler and is cer tainly striving to treat the people 5 right as well as giving them a first ’ class performance in every respect. ' The coal bins belonging to Girt I Reynolds that have been under con- ( struction for several weeks past, are nearly completed and within two weeks Mr. Reynolds will be comfortably situated just south of the Clover Leaf tracks, and ready to fill all or- ■ ders for coal. This firm has many ’ orders ahead and their success is assured. Wheat, for the first time in several weeks, today advanced over the dollar mark in the Chicago exchange and now seems doomed to go higher. This commodity has been running up and down the scale for a month and has again started on a boom. The local grain merchants fully expect to see this commodity go higher than it is now quoted. From all appearances the work of putting in the interlocking switch system at the junction will be completed the later part of this week or the middle of next The system is one of the best manuafctured and will cost the three roads in t heneighborhood of ten thousand dollars, which is no mean amount. However, the safety connected therewith is full worth the price paid for the same.

Charles Railing, the painter, who received the contract a few weeks ago for painting the court house, informed us today that he would complete the same by this evening. This place of justice looks one hundred per cent bet. ter and now presents a very attractive appearance to the public. The task was no mean one, and took considerable nerve, especially when it came to painting the steeple. Mr. Railing is certainly entitled to much credit for his work. The show that was presented at the opera house last night was enthusiastically received by all who were pres, ent. The escape of the famous Biddle brothers furnished the subject for what proved to be the best show of its kind that has ever been presented in the city. Willis Evans, in the juvenile role was the best Hebrew char, acter that has been seen here, and he was given applause after applause for the clean manner in which he performed. D. A. Gossette deserves special mention in assuming the title role as well as J. Francis Berus as the heavy man. Every character was strong, however, and they will be wel. corned back at some future date.
