A man entered a restaurant, took a seat, and after a little deliberation, asked the waiter for a plate of "fly specks.” The waiter reported the uncomplimentary request to the proprietor, whereupon the latter approached the customer and informed him that they did not serve “fly specks.” “Then,” was the reply, "why don’t you take them oc the bill of fare?”

Dr. W. N. Fowler, of Bluffton, may not be a member of Walter Wellman’s polar expedition party. The Chicago Record-Herald publishes pictures of those who will accompany Wellman, but the doctor’s likeness could not be seen. It will no doubt be a source of disappointment to Doc, as when he left home he was enthusiastic over the idea of traveling to the north pole in an airship. If Wellman sticks to his announcement he will sail the latter part of the week. The Indiana Spiritualists’ association Tuesday closed up the financial affairs of the camp meeting, just closed, and are much pleased with the showing made.

It is said that a movement has been started among the interurban lines of Ohio and Indiana, looking to an agreement in the matter of the selection of an express company to operate on all the lines. The argument is advanced that by having one company operating on all the roads an exchange of business between the lines would be greatly facilitated. The funeral of David Burk, the young man who died Tuesday night at eleven o’clock from the effects of an attack of diptheria was held this morning at nine o’clock, the affair being strictly private owing to the nature of the case. This order was made by the board of health, who did not desire to take any chances concerning the welfare of the public health and ordered undertakers Gay and Zwick to make the funeral private. An eight-hour day, with overtime for more hours, including Sunday, and an increase in wages, are the demauds by the Toledo Railway Clerks’ Union in a new schedule and working agreement presented to the local railroads Tuesday. The increase demanded amounts to 10 per cent on the Lake Shore railroad and 20 per cent on the Michigan Central, C.. H. and D., Pere Marquette, Clover Leaf Ohio Central and the Wheeling and Lake Erie. A reply within ten days is requested.

There is a young man in Boston who can trace his family back several generations. His failing is a desire to be thought a descendant of one of “the old families.” One thing in which he takes particular pride is a continental uniform. He was showing this to a young lady the other day. "My great-grandfather wore this suit when he gave his life to his country during the brave days of the revolution, ’ he said. The young lady inspected the uniform carefully, but could find no bullet hole nor saber cut. She turned to him with a charming smile, “Oh, was the poor old gentleman drowned?” she asked.

> There may be reason for criticism when members of a base ball team become intoxicated through over indulgence in strong drink, out what ‘ is to be done when the boys are ’ made drunk by excessive running of bases? Twenty-one to naught was 1 the score in Fort Wayne Labor Day, ' when the “peerless Shamrocks” went down before the Van Wert champions. Makes one think of the “flying dutchman” of childhood to stand and watch ' players rapidly encircle the base ball diamond twenty-one times and then with the head “swimmin’ ” lay on. the ground long enough to gain their mental equilibrium.—Van Wert Times. 7)ne of the chief supply agents for the blind tiger in the village of Roanoke was put in the city lockup this afternoon by Chief Stouder, who took three pints of whiskey from him before depositing him in the bastile. The old man has been in the habit of I I coming to the city recently and stock-

ing up on fire water and then returning to the peaceful town of Roanoke and dispensing it. So not only do the people of that little town have a suit case brigade, but they also keep a traveling agent on the road all the time in case some of their other means fail them. Once before this man was placed in the lockup. Then he had five bottles on his person. He declared today, as he wobbled from one side of the bench to the other, that he intended “to have all his whiskey back, just see if I don’t.”

The Bluffton Horse company suffer, ed a heavy loss Sunday morning when Hercules, the big sorrel stallion, belonging to the company died in its stall at the Gilbert and Bentz barn from strangulated hernia. The owners did everything in their power to save the valuable animal’s life, sending to Fort Wayne for Dr. Landshore and to Warren for Dr. Emmick, both noted veter. inaries, to aid Dr. Laidlaw, of this city, in treating the case. The horse was well worth $2,500 and the comnany had been offered and had refused that amount for him. He was an imported Belgium, was seven years old and weighed 2,200 pounds. —Bluffton Banner.
