J. H. HELLER. Manager. New York City's assessed valuation now is so great that the city can increase its bonded indebtedness to over a billion dollars. Strange as it may seetn this debt is larger than the debt of the United States. And another remarkable thing is, $560,990,134 of this debt was created during the administration of Mayor McClellan. The money was all needed for public improvements and was well expended as New Yorkers bejieve.—Columbit City PosL — —- After twenty-six years of married life and raising a family of three children, James Galey, second vice president of the United States steel corporation, is asking for a divorce. He doubtless is emulating the action of the president of the company in desiring to spend the money which his wife helped him save, upon some dashing young woman of the world. The possession of ill-gotten wealth is demoralizing, corrupting and debauching.—South Bend Times. *»„.t 1. .. .5 J I Newspaper dispatches already bear out the claim of the democratic editors last week, when the declared that Senator Shively would be in actuality the leader of the minority of the senate. The dispatches now mention the retirement of Senator Money, in which event the Indiana senator would unanimously be chosen to succeed him. That such leadership would not only be pleasing to his friends in the west, but it would mean that safe and sane leadership and that statesmanship that would inure to the benefit of the country, and at the same time would stamp the Indiana senator as a statemsan worthy of a place in the hearts and affections of his people. ■ "...JI »!. RECEIVED SAD MESSAGE. Mrs. D. M. Hensley this morning received a message from Conneaut, Ohio, that her uncle, Mr. Loren Wellman, aged eighty years, died last Saturday, the funeral being held Monday. The message was received here too late for any from this city to attend the funeral. Mr. Wellman was a veteran of the Civil war, and his many injuries received then, undermined his health, which with the infirmities of his great age, caused his death. c FOUND —A pair of nose glasses in case at G.

With the red flower caps on the chandelier lights, and with red hearts strung in festoons from chandeliers, curtains, and on the walls of the J. H. Bremerkamp home on Seventh street, the party given Monday evening by Miss Genevieve Bremerkamp for Miss Pearl Baumgartner, who leaves soon for her home at Linn Grove, was very suggestive of the Valentine holiday, which is no near at hand. Twentytwo guests responded to invitations for this happy affair and found therein much pleasure. A heart contest was a novel one, in which each guest was given a heart-adorned box of candy hearts, from which he was obliged to forfeit one of the heartsweets for every question answered with yes or no. Lula Atz and Omer Parent won honors in this. Another I interesting amusement was one in which large red hearts, on each two of which were written the halves of names of flowers, were given each of the company, who were required to match the halves of names, and then write a description of their partner thus found. These were afterward read and the honors awarded to Miss Lulu Atz for the best description. Luncheon was served on little tables arranged throughout the rooms, partners being secured for luncheon by matching cut postal cards. During the evening the pleasure was further enhanced by music, rendered by Misses Agnes Meibers, Naomi Niblick and Agnes Kohne.
