HOW HUNTINGTON WORKS IT. Wet Goods Delivered by Express —Orders Sent to Fort Wayne. Huntington, Ind., March 25—The refreshing product of the Huntington Brewing company is now delivered to homes and other places in this “dry city by the wagons of the United States Express company. The red and yellow wagon elaborately decorated by the brewing company a few weeks ago, in anticipation of a big business here, has been abandoned so far as this city Is concerned, but will be used in Fort Wayne. The promoters shrewdly sidestepped every possibility of detection and now consider themselves perfectly safe and Huntington and the community surrounding is being flooded with order blanks. A peculiarity of these blanks is the fact that the word beer is not mentioned throughout the entire line ®f explanation. They are headed the Huntington Bottlery, 606 West Main street, Fort Wayne, Ind.’’ The prices of the warious sized cases follow. In explanation of the statement that out of town orders must be accompanied by an extra dollar as deposit for case and bottles, Manager Hoch says "out of town” means out of Huntington and not out of Fort Wayne. Thus the fear of many who have received the friendly blanks are allayed. Only the price of the booze itself is necessary. The agency through which the beer is sold is located in Fort Wayne, though the order blanks have been sent out of Huntington.

Meibers, who about four weeks ago fell with a scaffolding and crushed and tore the ligaments of Jiis left foot, is not recovering as rapidly as he would like. Very soon after the accident he went out with crutches, but as the foot healed slowly, the doctors held a’consultation and decided that the foot should be put in a plaster paris cast. This was done a week ago and he has been confined to his home since. It goes rather hard with him to be shut up this fine weather, especially since the fishing season is on.
