From indications this section of the country will come in for its share of wind and thunder storms. John E. Teeple, the aged citizen who suffered a stroke of paralysis a few nights ago and fell and broke his hip, is reported slightly better, if any change is manifest. There is, however, but little hope for his permanent recovery. Prof. Beachler has received word that the Decatur high school will very probably be placed on the credit list of the Michigan university, permitting from the high school here to enter that famous university without an examination.

There w’ill be a great show at the Star theater this evening. The first reel is to be “The Rogue's Heart’’ and the second "Virginius.” Beside this, Mr. Stoneburner has arranged for the Decatur orchestra of ten pieces who will furnish special music. It's a great nickel's worth and as John says will be a big night at the Star. Elsie Pearl Martin, the girl at the county infirmary whose case has attracted so much attention, is reported by the physician in charge to be getting along nicely and is able to sit up some. Her complete recovery now appears assured. The authorities say that there have been no particularly new developments in the case. —Bluffton News.

Peter Moser, aged 78, received a stroke of paralysis at the home of his daughter, Mrs. David Hirschy, southeast of town Tuesday afternoon. He was sitting in a rocker from which he fell to the floor. He was picked up in a paralytical and unconscious condition. It is feared that he will not fully recover from his present disabled condition, this being his second attack of paralysis.—Berne Witness.

R. & I. passenger train at Lagrange Tuesday just as the passenger train from the south was leaving the station. A box car prevented his seeing the approaching train and before his machine could clear the tracks it was struck by the locomotive. Mr. Blough was struck by the cylinder head of the engine and considerably bruised. D. S. Brown, who was also in the automobile, jumped out before it was struck. The machine was considerably damaged.

Marion, Huntington, Wabash, Bluffton and Kokomo will cetrainly be in the Northern Baseball League, which will be formed of either six or eight clubs, the number depending altogether on what prospective applicants for places in the league do within the next few days. At this time it seems almost certain, according to local authorities, that Decatur will make good, and it is possible that Loganport and Lafayette may come in the new organization. A meeting will be held Friday in this city which will definitely settle the composition of the new league and it is expected that the latter part of this month will see baseball played as it should be played in Marion. —Marion Chronicle.

Mrs. Bennett is enjoying her visit in this country immensely. Officers were compelled to use force in removing Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lusch, of Huntington, to the county infirmary. The aged couple are ill and destitute, but the idea of the poorhouse was so repugnant to them that the husband made threats of killing neighbors who sought to have them removed there. The husband is 64 and the wife 72 years of age. The Wabash county council will meet May 15 to make an appropriation to defray the expenses of the autopsy ordered by the court on the remains of Mrs. G. E.

Feldderjohann returned this noon from New Knoxville, Ohio, where she attended the funeral of Ben Schoerlucke. Mrs. Schoerlucke is well, but the mother, Mrs. Henry Schoerlucke is very sick from worryover her son’s sudden death. It is hoped that she will recover soon. The entertainment to be given one week from next Wednesday night at the Woodmen hall will be very interesting.

Huntington county is 75 years old having been organized May 5, 1834, and the anniversary was celebrated in the schools Wednesday.

L. B. Stevens and E. L. Murray, this city, will leave for Colorado Monday with their families, where they will be located temporarily and possibly permanently. Both of the men are interested in a mine in Gunnison county and are going there for that purpose. While Mr. Stevens may possibly return within a few months, Mr. Murray will more than probably be located there permanently.—Bluffton Banner.

Miss Helen Fonner went to Willshire today to visit with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Colter, of that place. Mrs. Joseph Shroll went to Bluffton, where she will make an extended visit with her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Hughes. Mrs. Dr. Tillotson returned to Delphos after attending the funeral of the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hite. Yager Bros. & Reinking toaay sold the handsome player piano, known as the Autopiano, to a Kendallville man and the same was shipped immediately. This instrument is different from the piano player in that the player is a part of the piano and does not have to be attached. It is quite a piano, and can be used without the player. The firm received a new one today-, and it can be inspected by calling at the store. Dr. J. H. McKenzie and other prominent citizens of Lima, Lagrange coun- j ty, are pressing the movement to change the name of the postoffice at I Lima to that of Howe. When the matter was up for consideration a few weeks ago it seemed then that a great majority of the patrons of the office were opposed to the change. A poll taken of the citizens at that time showed 39 men in the town of Lima in favor of the change and 79 against it. In the country the poll showed 26 patrons for the change and 204 against it. The latest information is that sentiment in and around Lima is rapidly changing toward making the change, and it will be made, provided the people and patrons of the Lima office themselves demonstrate that they want it done.
