Rome City cottagers will be required to pay about 40 per cent more for transportation over the Grand Rapids and Indiana in 1913 than they paid in former years. Notice was received at the local ticket office this morning that 100-mile ride books would be placed on the market April 1 at an advance of $lO over the price in effect last year. The notice made no reference to special rates on Sunday and it is presumed that there will be none this year. This information will be most unwelcome news to a vast portion of the population of Fort Wayne, who in years past made much , use of the 100-mlle ride system of transportation, whether they wejje cottage owners or mere occasionq/sojourners at the resort. —Fort Wayne Sentinel.

The police are investigating and have a clue that may lead to the arrest of the party unless the wheel is returned quickly. Quite an exciting time was experienced this morning at the Carroll feed store, so much 90 in fact that it even made the redoubtable Clayson find a safe spot on top of a counter. The cause of all the excitement was the little white ferret finding the rendezvous of five full grown rats. It didn’t take very long for the ferret to make a cleaning up, but while he was doing it there was an exceedingly large amount of excitement going on. •ecatur theater goers familiar with the fascinating story or Christian martyrdom as told in “The Light Eternal’ - will be given an opportunity of seeing this big drama at the Bosse opera house on Tuesday evening. The subject matter of this famous book Fabiola, has been handled in a manner to create a play thoroughly delightful to regular theater goers, while the more devout religionists proclaim it superior to all former offerings of the kind. To the poetic beauty of the writing has been added exceptional skill in stagecraft—resultant in a fervent poetic drarM bordering on the thrills of melodrama. The scenic investure and costuming is above reproach and the acting is unusually strong. The principal roles are played by Louise Dunbar and John Milton, both of whom are well known in Decatur through the remarkable run of this play at the Majestic theater, Ft. Wayne, where twenty-one performances were given to over 25,000 people.
