We took a little walk up to the Conter Ice Cream factory yesterday and were rewarded for the trouble, by eating all the fresfi cream we could choke down and likewise by being shown over the up-to-date plant. It's a dandy and they are now doing real business, the busy season just commencing. A new brine freezer, installed at a cost of over SSOO, does the work rapidly, better and all together more satisfactorily than ever before. 1 Twenty-two people, so we are reliably informed, who were changing . cars here last evening, and who did not have time to come up town for a lunch, were forced to satisfy them1 selves with cheese, crackers and such eatables as could be obtained at the Sam Hite grocery. This was due to • the fact that there is at present no eating house in that part of the town. The Park Hotel is out of commission and the restaurant not opened. It looks like a golden opportunity for some person, who would like to get ’ into the business. .

Decisions have been given at Kokomo and in Miami county in liquor cases involving the same point that Judge Sturgis was called upon to decide at Decatur, namely as to the time the local option law became operative.

The ordinance also provides that there shall be no more than twenty-nine saloons until the city attains a population of 15,000, and that breweries dr their agents shall not directly or indirectly control any of the saloons. The ordinance was referred to the city attorney for an opinion as to its validity.

Snearley, of Roann, for whpse death the husband is charged with murder. There was a “gentlemen's agreement’’ to preserve secrecy regarding the contents of the report, and nothing of its nature was allowed to become public. A deal was closed this week between A. S.
