A bad wreck occurred in the Erie yards Monday night at 2 o'clock. One of the large engines pulling a number of cars ran into some cars loaded with steel rails and the engine was almost demolished. The rails were thrown from the cars and it was a long time before the scene could be cleared up enough to permit the passage of the trains. The engine was aken to the local shops.—Huntington Herald. The strike of the Erie machinists at Huntington has resulted in a disagreement in the conference between the men and the officers of the line. The machinists can go back to work but they must do so as individuals, as the union will not be recognized. The Times says some machinists still remain in the city drawing their weekly allowance from the general strike fund, while others are moving to distant cities, accepting employment from other roads. It has been several years since good ■ winter apples were so hard to get as they are at the present time. It is seldom that they are offered for sale, and as a rule the quality is very inferior. Farmers who have good orchards say they picked and put away apples this year that in other years they would hardly use for cider. It was a ground hog case with them. They had to accept the apples or do without. Anything like decent apples sell for a dollar or better- a bushel. People over the country who are not. acquainted with the true,facts of the situation have been Inclined to blame the trustees and county superintendents for the condition of affairs that exists in regard to the shortage of school books and the red tape that is cnnected with the school depository! law. Many think that the trustees and county superintendent are ■to blame and that they could arrange matters differently if they chose. Such is not the case. The fault lies with the law itself. Every small boy in the city is making preparations to celebrate Hallowe'en, which comes on Thursday, the last day of this month. The police are also making preparations to keep the small boy in check. Last year they were able to keep the boys quiet and the latter did little damage, while all had much innocent fun. Extra police will be sworn in for the occasion. Less damage is being done every year, and youths instead of celebrating out of doors by getting into mischief, are having inside parties and other social events*. In th'e town of Albany, Alabama, a city of twenty thousand people and containing thirty-one saloons, one woman said a year ago the saloons had to go. " For seven nionths she | made a still hunt and nnSfei personaij visit to every home in the oly ana 1 told them to keep-still, frat on day to put od their and» come out on the street afifl work.

A great many farmers are complaining about the present condition of their corn. Those who cut and placed their corn on shock fear that the wet weather is causing the grain to mould, and the cold, damp weather is preventing that on the stalk from getting ripe. What the farmers need most is dry, windy weather, and hot too cold. It is thought that two-thirds of the corn this year will not be fit for market or , shelling purposes. The fistic contest between McFarI land and Goodman that will be held -peat Wednesday evening under the auspices M the Summit City Athletic £lub at the American Rink, gives promise of beiiig one of the best attractions yet held At Fort Wayne.

Under the new law the ad visory boards will met in December, and will receive bids from banks and trust companies that desire to become depositories and will make their selection. In this manner should the bank or trust company go bankrupt the trustees, however, will be supposed to deposit in the depositories the funds on the same date that he receives them or as soon thereafter as possible. The trustees will be unable to draw out any funds until he has an obligation to pay for the township.

Said the Malleable man to the Malleable girl, “For many long years we have waited, We have worked night and day for the Malleeble Folks, Is it not high time we were mated? “I have hemmered this range until my arms ache, You have fired it all yon are able, But there is never a crack or a week spot yet, It is unbreakable, unburnable Malleable.” So they plighted their troth, o’er the range they both loved, Yes, we all know it reads like a fable. In their snug little home, they are happy. Why not? They have in it their old friend, tne Malleable.
