If the people here think they are • having trouble with the floods, what do you think they are doing in the lowlands, where each spring brings suffering and great loss to property when the high waters come? Perhaps we are pretty lucky.

M. Parrish, R. D. Reynolds, Joie Talbert, Miss Mary Schafer, Mrs. Anna Sheline, Harold O. Warren, George Williams.

The "bug-house” puzzle is now the rage. Everybody is trying to put together the pieces which represent a checker board. It’s some job, but if you can't possibly work it out, we can tell you how. The schools will have the annual spring vacation next week and many of the children are planning visits with friendls at. a distance. The greater number of teachers will attend the state meeting at Indianapolis. Miss Imo Sowle was hostess at a delightful Easter luncheon in honor of Miss Alma Honecker, who is soon to leave for Toledo, Ohio. Other guests were Miss Blanche Biggs and Miss Emma Cook of Berne.

The church was decorat- • ed In beautiful Easter colors and evi eryone present enjoyed the program given. A communication has been received ■ giving the particulars of the trouble arising in the fight between the fort eigners and the American employees of the Erie track gang Friday, but in- . asmuch as the communication was not . signed and as we do not print any- , thing of this natui4 without the sig(i nature being attached, it is necessary for us to withhould the article. About a dozen families living on Water and Berhing streets, where on | account of the G. R & I. railroad • levee the flood conditions were worst, " | were compelled to move, either up- •, stairs, if they could, or altogether out ■| of the house.

Kilburn, superintendent of the Faith Home, a place of refuge for unfortunate girls at Indianapolis, who I with his wife has visited this city regularly to solicit funds, was arrested .at Indianapolis Saturday afternoon and placed under $3,000 bond, to await a hearing on a charge of grand (larceny, and conspiring to commit a i felony. It is charged he and several . others misappropriated $575, which amount, it is alleged, was paid by a I Lafayette man for the cause of his daughter. Mr. Kilburn claims he received none of the money in person, and that $l5O of the amount which came into his hands was turned over to the home, for which he holds a receipt showing such disposition of the same.—Bluffton Banner RESERVOIR REPORT FALSE. The report that the reservoir had bursted at. Celina and St. Mary’s, O„ caused a considerable scare to parties along the swollen river this morning, but a telephone call to those places soon quieted the fear of add!i tional damages. Information from those places is that the big reservoir is bolding and there is no danger of a break. These reports are circulated every time the river gets high and always without foundation.
