Reports from the central portion of this state indicate that some damage resulted to fruit and growing crops from a hail and wind storm which swept over the country Monday night. A flurry of snow fell at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The falling weather in this section Wednesday afternoon was a mixture of rain, snow and sleet, but the storm was not of a violent nature. However, all the storms have caused fear of damage to the fruit crop which has been well-budded. The buds yesterday morning were considerably blighted and had a decaying appearance. It has developed that the name of the young man arrested at Redkey Tuesday charged with attempting to burglarize the Holthouse & Co. store the night before, was not Reno, but McKinney. The fact was revealed by a membership card showing him to be in good standing in the Eagles lodge with his dues paid up until next September. This, when first arrested he concealed, in order that his identity ifiight not become known. This was later found, and he then admitted that the name he had been using was that of his stepfather — Portland Commercial-Review.

Even in these days three times three tailors by putting their heads together might be able to make one of those nice men who come in so handy as part of the decoration scheme to match the parlor furniture, but not so many tailors as that are needed to make a presidential candidate. It is handed to us by a wise man as a serious reason why we should elect one of the candidates that his coat is always wrinkled. Evidently a secondhand clothing man could come nearer making a presidential candidate who was looking for popular votes than could a score of artistic tailors. — -Or — NOTICE OF SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
