The case of the state against William Fronefield will be heard Friday morning in Squire Stone’s court and will no doubt prove sensational in many respects. The case was filed by his wife on a charge of assault and battery. The Rose store was sold Saturday evening to Dr. Mrs. C. Kuntz and will be managed now by her son Ed. Miss Eltie Rose still works in the store for a short while until the new proprietor becomes accustomed to the run of things.—Berne Witness. Burt Green, who has been assisting Treasurer Archbold in making collections of delinquent water rents, reports that his duties are almost completed and that by the end of this week everything will be closed up and all delinquents that are out will be in the fold. The amount as collected by Mr. Green aggregates no mean amount and was worth looking after. Attorney A. P. Beatty will represent the property owners along Madison street this evening at the council room, who are desirous of entering objections to the amounts assessed against them upon this improvement. The assessment, according to the version of the city engineer, is all right and equal and should stand, and it may thus be approved by the council. The session will be quite interesting this evening.

“Bismarck,” the glass eater, dropped into town yesterday and at once went to a physician for a prescription for medicine to scratch his throat. He received an order for a half pint of aqua and went to a drug store to have it filled which was promptly attended to and directions given him to take a spoonful morning and evening. It was in the afternoon and Bismark did not wait till evening to take the first dose, but only one dose fooled him. —Berne Witness. Damsite is the name of a new town in Texas, recently included in the list of postoffices. It is a vilage located j on the 10,000 acre farm of Col. Cecil Lyon and associates in the Texas Panhandle. They have their own system of irrigation, and are not selling the land, but will cultivate it, employing about 200 farm hands. A commissary store is conducted as a part of the farm enterprise, and a large amusement hall has just been finished. The aim is make Damsite a model community. Official information received by the loal machinists, since the convention of machinists at St. Louis, is to the effect that the grand officers are more determined now than ever to win the strike on the Erie system. The convention had confidence in the integrity of President James O’Connell, and re-elected him for two more years with increase in salary.

James Hurst has been engaged by the interurban people to manufacture cement block for them and on yesterday finished setting up the machinery at the gravel pit, where the blocks will be turned out. Mr. Hurst is well qualified to handle this business and the interurban people could have made no better selection. The fast Rockford, Ohio, team, if all arrangements can be made, will be seen here next Sunday, and a warm game may be expected. The locals will be strengthened by the presence of Way and Railing and Witham and will present a very formidable lineup. The Rockford team comes highly recommended, and are capable of putting mp a fast game. Mr. Fraizier, the book agent, representing Colie’r and Co. who sold a number of sets of books here, made a mistake in delivering his ‘World’s Best History” to Rev. Hessert, giving him two sets of volumes 5 to 8 and omitting volumes 1 to 4. It is probable some other purchaser has the wrong volumes and the exchange would correct the same. The pictures of the members of the base ball team are now on sale at the Corbettt cigar store, where any one desiring can secure one. The proceeds of these pictures will be applied on the debts contracted by the management this season and what remains will be placed to the credit of the assocition for next season. The pictures are fine and every fan should have one. While making the excavation for the new cement sidewalk in front of the Dr. J. M. Miller residence, it was necessary to take out a large tree, and in order to do so it was necessary to place a small charge of dynamite under the same in order to free the same from the earth. The dynamite did the work, and the tree was literally torn from mother earth and deposited in the street.

Tom Railing arrived last evening from Tecumseh, Mich., where he has been playing ball all season and will spend the winter in Decatur. Tom assisted the Tecumseh team materially in winning the pennant and they appreciated his services very highly and he will no doubt return to that city next season. Tom is looking in excellent shape and looks as if he had passed through a very successful season. L. A. Hoithouse left his morning for Indianapolis, to attend a meting of the managers of the various members of the Indiana-Ohio league, and close up all business pertaining to this association for this season. President Kling at his time will no doubt present Mr. Holthouse with the pennant, but what it will be he has no idea. The members of this association will also make arrangements for next sea son. In response to a call tor the police Marshal Bohnke went to the south end of town this morning to see wnat was wrong. The cause of the excitement was that three Italians went to the home of a woman in that part of town and begged for something to eat. The lady became alarmed at their actions and called for the officer. Bohnke did not make any arrests as the men said they were waiting on a train and showed their baggage. Kokomo, of the Indiana-Ohio league, of which Bluffton is also a member, defeated the Marion Wabash Valley team at Kokomo Sunday twelve to one. Kokomo used three pitchers to give Marion a show, but the boys from the tin-plate city could do nothing with the IO boys. Blankenbaker and Underw’ood officiated in battery work for Marion. Twelve co one in that game; eight to two and fifteen to two in the Bluffton-Hunt-ington games give about as good a line on the class of ball played by the two leagues as can be drawn. — Huntington Herald.

Frank Rnuyan w 7 ent to Muncie this morning and from there he will go to Indianapolis to attend a meeting of the managers of the 1-0 league with President Kling. Each of the managers will receive back their hundred dollars that he deposited as a guarantee of good faith and assurance that he would stay in the league when the latter first opened. Plans for another league next year may be discussed at the meeting. Financially the Bluffton team has Keen a success during the league, the management breaking away even. The league as a whole comes out a little to the good for the league season.—Bluffton News.

Mrs. Bud Brokaw left this morn ing for Lake Gage, wher she will remain a few days for a recreation. J. B. Stoneburner last evening sold a handsome piano to the St. Marys Catholic schools in the music department and the same was installed this morning. This is the second piano Mr. Stoneburner has sold to this school in the last year. The new cement sidewalks along Second and Winchester streets are going in at a fast rate that part of the city will soon appear in excellent style. The cement w’alks will continue to the Chicago and Erie railroad and are just what have been needed for a number of years. The walks will also add materially to the appearance of the property and also to its value. Julius Haugk. who recently received the contract to construct Seventh street from Adams to Monroe, started in this morning to make what excavations that are necessary. The old stone that can be used will be cleaned and placed back on the street and the property owner given that much credit. Mr. Haugk needs men to push this improvement and any one desiring work should see him at once.

What a grind this life is. We barely get one paper printed till we begin the next. The farmer doesn’t get one crop out of the way till he is preparing the way for another. The merchant does not get one batch of goods sold till he orders another. The housewife has the same old tasks over and over each day. It is grind, grind, grind every day, every year, till we grind out our grist and fold our hands for the final rest. But who would say that life is a failure because of this grind. Some do become tired and ’take their own lives and some wish it was over sooner than it is. But they are exceptions and often the abnormal or even crazy. Life has more of a song than a funeral dirge, more of sweet than bitter, more of blessing than misfortune, more sunshine than cloud, so why go moping around as though there were nothing to live for?
