Elkhart will soon have a general “hospital. John Bittner was visiting in the city yesterday. Several Interesting social events are scheduled for next week. Moses Stroud, Wells county pioneer, is dead at Nottingham. Mr .and Mrs. Anthony Grusenmyer, •of Logansport, have been married 52 years. J. R. Carper Las let the contract for a SIO,OOO artificial ice plant at Kendallville. Harvey W. Harahman, of Dunkirk, may establish a co-operative glass factory at Portland. An administrator has been asked for the estate of Frank Bender, who has been missing from Elkhart since 1900. Miss Marie Patterson and Ross Mills attended the show “The Thief” and saw Margaret Illington at the Majestic. Charles E. Emanuel, 65 years of age, a well known Auburn attorney, died Thursday afternoon after a brief illness from heart trouble. Rev. Tinier and wife have returned the former having attended Masonic doings at Dunkirk, O„ and the latter visited with her sister at Venedocia. Mr. Murray, of Orland, will establish an ice cream factory at Lagrange. The German-American alliance at Peru has “resolved” against a “dry* county. Within half an hour from the time he stood at the open grave of his mother in Greenwood cemetery at, I jigrange, Charles S. Chesbro was arrested on a charge of wife-desertion. The Elks at their regular session last evening initiated Fred Martin into the mysteries of Elkdom and made him a full fledged Elk. Fred seemingly enjoyed the work as much as those who witnessed it. The handsome flag which the Maccabees tents of Kendallville, Garrett, Auburn and Butler were contesting for at the third interurban meeting of their association at Auburn Wednesday evening, was won by the Kendallville delegation.

Alva Tritch, who was recently murdered by three Sicilians in a quarrel | in Lagrange county, until three weeks ago resided in Elkhart. He was summoned from that city to Helmer, Lagrange county, on account of the sickness of his father-in-law, George Helmer. The river is gradually receding and if the present fall keeps up and we are visited by no further rains the St. Marys will soon be confined to its original channel. While on its recent ramapage it has caused a loss of several thousand dollars to farmers along its course. The meeting held last night at the M. E. church was very interesting. Dr. Miller delivered a powerful sermon, and his singing was highly appreciated by the vast audience. The auditorium was packed to its capacity. Dr. Miller will deliver a lecture to men tomorrow afternoon, and it is thought that many will be in attendance. The Fort Wayne & Springfield Railway company is one of the very fortunate roads that the recent high waters have not interfered with, and their traffic has not been delayed in the least. It is fortunate that this line is built the distance it is from river else they would be experiencing the same trouble as other lines have. Applying at the county clerk's office at Bluffton for a license which would permit them to wed on Wednesday evening, Henry Musselman and Miss Dora Sprowl, two prominent people of Liberty township, left fifteen minutes later a sadly disappointed couple of lovers. The clerk informed them that they would have to wait twenty days longer or until the young man becomes eighteen years of age, which will be on March 15 next. The couple were accompanied by the parents of both, and they told the clerk that they were entirely willing that the marriage should take place, but the clerk told them that the law would have to be followed ... .j. • I

Mr. Brittson is prospering there, and his parents, too, like the country. C. O. France will leave Monday morning for Fort Wayne, where he will take up the work of soliciting the trade for the famous Center ice cream. This company sold lots of cream in the summit city last year, and expect to excell their record this season. It is expected by the city dads that by the first of April that the contract will have been let for the new city hall and that by the first or middle of July the building will be ready for occupancy. The building will be complete in every respect, and will be a Credit to our city.

If the present good weather keeps up for several days Street Commissioner Stults expects to get his street sweeper ready and give the brick pavements a thorouogh cleaning. This would certainly be a step in the right direction, as the streets certainly need a cleaning now if ever. Frank Freeman, arrested at Wabnsh for intoxication, wrote a note to the sheriff telling him he was tired of life and then filled a bath tub in the jail with the intention of drowning himself. He took one plunge, but the water was too cold and he abandoned his idea of self-destruction. Friends in the city have received word from Fred LaDelle that he is playing before crowded houses in Cleveland this week. Next week the LaDelles will be at Columbus. Also from Henry Thomas comes th£ information that their company is doing fine. He is connected with the Fenn Amusement company, who are now touring Illinois. Farmers from many parts of the county report that their stock, particularly horses, are suffering from a scourge of lice at the present time. What causes them and why they should appear on so many different farms at once cannot be explained and as the weather has been bad for the use of the usual lice killer the animals will have to suffer until warmer weather. —Bluffton News. The endurance bowling contest that is to be pulled off next Wednesday at the Palace alleys, is causing considerable excitement and the jfans who love this sport are anxiously awaiting the time for the contest to start and are now trying to pick the winners. The bowlers interested are among the best in the state and the team that wins will be compelled to stay the limit twenty-four hours. R. B. Wood, editor of the Wolf Lake Trolley, who prides himself as being a minister, a printer, an editor and a man with no less than nine avocations, has announced that he will take the lecture platform. Here are titles of his lectures: “Skiddoo,” “Grit, Grace and Gumption,’’ “Frills and Frazzles,’’ and “The Churchman the Lodge man and the Christian.” He says in his own newspaper: “We wish to say to all our brother editors that, if there is any worthy cause which you want to aid, we will gladly offer our services very cheap, as we realize a man must make good so as to get a reputation. If you wish to impose on your people send us word.”
