The past week has again demonstrated the lack of houses to accommodate the influx of new citizens who would like to become a part of our city. A real estate dealer stated that he could rent twenty-five houses in about that many minutes. Our citizens should awaken to the needs of the hour. Good rental is an easy way to make your surplus work, besides it brings more people into oup midst, and the indirect results from an increased population makes every one thrive and prosper. It will pay well to push the house building industry. The petition for the Fort Wayne & Springfield right-of-way five thousand dollar subsidy is being circulated, and thanks to an enterprising and generous people, is being freely signed. The general concensus of opinion among all classes of our people, is that it is right to help a worthy cause, and that the right-of-way for this railway extension is worthy, and should be given them without question. The brick streets are being cleaned and they sure look good. If they will continue thus throughout the summer,

UNCLE NATE NEEDS COUNSEL I “Uncle Nate” is reported to be feeling pretty good over his (Cromer’s) victory. He is even talking about harmony and intimates that it would be well for the rank and file and public to make no investigation or noise about the exact figure stipulated in the deal that tempted Cromer to nominate your Uncle Nate for a place on the congressional ticket. “Uncle Nate” even wants to forget it. This fact has caused many green-eyed and suspicious people to conceive the thought that it was no Sunday school contribution that passed over the political counter and is now safe in the coffers of the wily George— the absolute dictator in the Eighth congressional district. The people, however, are curious, and if we mistake not, they will never rest until the whole nefarious deal is laid bare. “Uncle Nate” should prepare to face the people square. If he expects them to trust him, he must necessarily trust them. He should begin his campaign by a humble confession upon the altar of true statesmanship, and that confession should embody every detail of the congressional convention and his nomination. Nothing should be omitted’. The muckrakers are abroad in the land, and a false step now, means oblivion and political obscurity even before the ides of November are permitted to pass judgment.

OSSIAN BOY BADLY INJURED. Crushed Beneath a Bale of Hay—Leg Broken. Russel Hanna, aged four, son of John Hanna, an Ossian harness maker, was dangerously injured Monday afternoon by being caught under a heavy bale of hay. At the time of the accident he was at the barn of Mrs. Frank Jackson, watching Cecil Rex and one or two other men move a number of articles from her barn. He was standing near a wagon when Cecil Rex was placing some baled hay upon it and one of the bales slipped and fell squarely upon the child. He was crushed to the floor screaming and when the bale of hay was removed from his body it was found that he could not rise and an examination showed that one of his legs was broken between the knee and hip joints. He was picked tenderly up and carried to his home across the street, and a physician was summoned to give the necessary medical attention. The child passed a very restless night and this morning was rolling and tumbling in such a manner that it was thought it would become necessary to place the broken limb in a plaster parts cast. It is not thought that any serious internal injuries were received, as was at first feared. —Bluffton News. SALE OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS.

Today, for instance, I was approached by a well dressed elderly woman with the request to show her tome cups and saucers. She did not want china ones—something in porcelain, for ‘common everyday use,’ she said. I brought out samples, and finally her choice simmered down to a plalp white and the other a white with a dull grayish green figure. As if to account for her decision she said to me In a most confidential tone: ‘I guess I*ll take the gray ones. They won't show the dirt so soon.’ ’’—New York Press. Perils of Crinoline. The dangers of the historic crinoline are illustrated by a story told by Lady Dorothy Nevlll in her “Reminiscences.” Going too near the fireplace, her voluminous skirt caught fire, and in an instant she was in a blaze. There were no men present, and the women could not help her, because if they had gone near enough to be of use their own skirts would have been ignited. Fortunately Lady Dorothy had sufficient presence of mind to roll herself in the hearth rug and thus subdue the flames.

Farmer's Son—Cracky, what a place for a ball game!—Kansas City Independent. Pity the Poor Wolf. “Why is it,” asked the fox, “that you always look so gaunt?” “Oh,” replied the wolf, "it’s all due to the business I'm in. I always have to keep away from the door until there’s nothing left in the house to eat.”—Catholic Standard and Times. The New Yorker. “You New Yorkers don’t seem to know anything about the rest of the country,” said the visitor. “The rest of the country?” echoed the New Yorker. “What’s that?”- - Philadelphia Ledger.
