Just how they are able to figure this out is not of vital importance, among the great number of ball fans at least, the only fact of interest to them being that they can see a ball game on Sunday, between the hours of twelve and six. It’s a funny old world. Senator Penrose, it seems, is one of the four members of the senate finance committee who favored the reciprocity agreement. Like Lodge, he sees the cloud on the horizon. Also, as the Pennsylvania steel and iron schedules do not figure in the treaty, he can afford to make this little bluff for popular favor. The Indiana general assembly will close in another week. While they have passed some important laws, the greater number of those desired by the people have not been finally acted upon. It behooves the boys to get busy and it is safe to say they will work almost night and day from now

on until the close. While we hear the same talk of doing nothing, the fact is that this session is no different from any others. The real work of a sixty-one days' session of the legislature is always done the last few days. When the work has all been tallied up it will be found that the party in power has kept its promises. ABOUT THt SICK Miss Victoria Stone Doing Well Since Operation— A Severe One. MANY ARE ILL Mrs. A. E. Scott is Better— No Cause For Apprehension. 'Squire J. H. Stone returned last evening from Fort Wayne where he has been with his daughter, Miss Victoria at the Lutheran hospital, where she was operated upon Thursday. She is getting along as well as possible under the circumstances. The operation which was performed by Dr. Duemling lasted about an hour and a half, closing at twelve o’clock. Adhesions had caused displacement of the stomach, and a double operation was necessary there being two incisions, one six and the other eight inches. Her brother R. C. Stone and his wife of Muncie, and her father, ’Squire Stone of this city, were with her at the hospital at the time of the operation. The case had at first been diagnosed as floating kidney and it was at first thought that no operation would be necessary, and that a cure could be effected by treatment alone, at the hospital, but the operation was later found necessary.

Erwin Las received a letter from his brother-in-la*, Horace Callow, who, with his family went from here in January to West Plains, Ma, to make their home, hoping that the climate would prove more agreeable to their health. Mr. Callow stated that he had purchased an eighty-acre farm in the vicinity of West Plains and intended to engage in the fruit and poultry business, to which the country is remarkably well adapted. The farm has a ten-acre orchard already planted and Mr. Callow will have an Ideal farm for the business in which he intends to engage.

Hench, Ohmig Bird and Charles Dalman have returned from Indianapolis, where on Wednesday evening they attended the reunion of the democratic members of the Indiana assembly of 1893 —the last democratic legislature prior to the body now in session. One of the features of the reunion, heid at the Denison hotel, was an epic poem contributed by Judge Erwin, who in 1893 was serving as a representative from Adams county iti the leg-

islature. The poem was virtually a history of the session, and woven into it were the names of all the democratic members, the bills they introduced and some of the foibles and characteristics of the various personalities. Printed and autographic copies of the poem were later distributed among the members. J. E. McDonald of Ligonier, presided as toastmaster for the occasion, and among the speakers were Senatorelect John W. Kern and Judge Samuel M. Hench. A permanent organization is to be formed among the “survivors of 1893.” Allen county members at that time In addition to those present at the reunion were Dr. J. D.
