The hot weather and the frequent ' thunder showers, while disagreeable to many, have at least made the country look like the land of Eden. The crops are marvelous, corn, wheat, oats and all the others looking healthy, with an enormous yield. James Whitcomb Riley, Indiana's beloved poet, who has cheered the hearts of every Hoosier man, woman and child, and touched the souls ut thousands everywhere by his poems of field and brook and home, has offered the city of Indianapolis a 175,000 property on which to erect a public library. It is a splendid gift from a splendid man and a building that will stand for centuries as a monument to this great man should be erected at once. Mr. Riley is in declining health end the capital city should hasten the building that he might live to see its completion and dedication. CONCERNING THE RIVER. The commissioners of the four Ohio counties who are concerned in the dredging of the St. Mary’s river met at Celina today, at which time they had promised a definite answer to . the problem which has been before the citizens for some time. At their recent meeting, just following the walk along the river, one of the members spoke somewhat favorably, but the outcome of the proposition is now very much in doubt.
