A ton of dynamite fell off a wagon in Hammond the other day, but the special dispatch says it didn’t “detonate.” It is supposed that he meant to say that it didn't go off. To be sure it went off the wagon, but it didn’t explode, bust, roar like thunder and blow' up the town or blow- it down. It was a good thing it didn’t “detonate.” After enjoying all kinds of weather in the last two or three weeks and some kinds that were not enjoyable, the weather man let loose a July day on us Wednesday, October 2, and by reliable thermometers, the temparature was caught at 86 in the shade at 1 o’clock. But what will it be tomorrow? White gowns and shirt sleeves were the order of the day and spring fever wa’s rife all around the town. People who are in the custom of using soft coal for fuel during the winter are very apt to experience considerable difficulty in getting a supply which will last through the season. The reports which come from the mines are to the effect that a strike is liable to take place at any moment and that the supply of coal which will be shipped will be smaller than usual on account of the poor condition of the motive power on all the railroads. The engines are in bad shape and with the eoming of cold weather very few cars will be handled on the eastern roads if the engines are not attended to.

Van Wert and Rockford played an interesting game Tuesday afternoon, at Washington street park.

Hocker and family left this morning for Westfield, in Hamilton county, where he will take up his work as pastor of the Methodist church in that place.

Fowler will leave Saturday for New Tory City to meet her husband, Dr. W. N. Fowler, who is returning home after spending the summer in the far north where he was physician and surgeon to the Walter Wellman expedition.

The committee on arrangements for the Elks' fair is already getting things in shape for the event. Yesterday they were down to the piano factory .where the event will be pulled off, measuring the building so they could make some plan for placing the displays that will ■be made by the Bluffton merchants. It is expected that every merchant in the city will have a display of some sort on exhibition. —Bluffton Banner. Chief White Eagle, who is selling medicine on the street, has on display in the show window of the Holthouse Drug company two of the largest rattle snakes ever seen in this section of the country, together with a moccasin, a very dangerous reptile. The snakes have been gazed upon by hundreds of people today and the old settlers who look them over say they are the largest they ever saw. The snakes are alive and in a healthy state. Statistics furnished by Miss Mary Stubbs, state statistician, show that 13.8 per cent of the women in Indiana are bread earners. According to the very latest figures, the total number of laboring women is 21,024. The figures show that there has been a big increase in the number of working women in the state since 1880. In 1880 the total number of working women in the state was 57 6,685. They occupy places in almost all departments of labor. The closed hunting season began Tuesday, October 1, and until Nov. 10 it will be unlawful to kill anything but wild duck wild geese and woodcock. Not even a rabbit or squirrel may be killed within this period, without being liable to a penalty. It is alleged that some farmer in southern Indiana was Instrumental in getting this section passed, as he claimed that during corn cutting time that teams were liable to be frightened by gun shots, or some one might get hit by the bullets of hunters. A number of ladles from Decatur, namely: Mesdames G. Berling, J. Fullenkamp, G. Wemhoff, F. Smith. P. Colchin, F. Gass, Vm. Harding, H. Myers, P. Kinney, G. Krick, came to town last Thursday and overwhelmed our popular tailor, Chris Meyer and family, it being the tenth anniversary lOf his wedding.

At one minute past midnight Tuesday morning railway mail clerks throughout the country began the weighing of the mails in obedience to a general order of the postmaster general.

It "as " the fifst time ' n the history of the postoffice department that the weight ing of all mail matter in all trainl over all routes on which mail clerks are employed was required.

Rasty Witham received a letter today from Jim Pierce, saying that he had the misfortune last Sunday to break a finger while playing ball, which will put him out of commission for the rest of the season. Notwithstanding the fact that the council at their last regular meeting adopted a resolution to oust the two night policemen they were on duty and say they will so continue until the mayor discharges them. Affairs in this line are certainly complicated. The heavy rain today stopped all work on the progress of the cement sidewalks that are going in at this time, but as soon as the weather permits the work will be pushed rapidly to completion. Work was also stopped on the Seventh street improvement. Miss Hazel France while playing with several little girls fell, striking her forehead on a large stone, cutting a very servere gash therein. A physician was called and it required two stitches to close the ugly wound. She w y as able to resume her school work today. The ball game Sunday between Decatur and Rockford promises to be a warm affair and a battle royal will be witnessed. Several new faces will be seen on the local team, while Rockford is coming loaded, for bear. The game will be played at Steele's park and will be called at three o'clock prompt. “A Crime in the Mountains" the subject for the new show at the Electric theater tonight is most interesting to witness. The pictures show what actually happens in mountain regions and to people in his section it is novel to see. In connection with this film, two other shows are given and ail will please you. The White Eagle Medicine company, that has been holding forth on the street for the past several days, are drawing the crowds and from all appearances are doing the business. Their display of snakes in the show window at the Holthouse Drug company are also coming in for their share of the attraction. Warren Kiser, of central Kansas, visited in Ossian this week after an absence of twenty-nine years, visiting his old friends. Mr. Kiser and William Kline left here in 1878 for Kansas, where they have since resided. During their sojourn in the Corn cracker state they have each amassed a comfortable fortune. It is said that either of the gentlemen can write his check for twenty-five thousand dollars and have it honored by any bank in their county*—Bluffton News.
