Bull is making very slow improvement, and It is believed she is not quite so well today as yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. John Link and son, Robert, of Fort Wayne, are visiting with Mrs. Barbara Spulier and Mr. and Mrs. Frank McConnell and other relatives.

That the freight business of the Chicago and Erie railroad will jump thirty per cent upon completion of the double tracking project, which will give that road facilities, possibly ' for handling that much business, is considered a fallacy by Superintendent W. M. Wardrop, of the Pennsyl vania system. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Schroeder, who has been very ill of lung fever, is still In a critical condition and the outcome cannot be fore tald. He was very bad again last night, but this morning is resting bet ter again. Another operation wUI be held to drain the left lung at the back, the operation several days ago, being to drain the lung at the front. The marriage of Miss Lydia Gerber and John Feichter. jr.. took place at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Christian Apostolic church north of Vera Cruz.

Mr. and .Mrs. Jeff Gerber, where the wedding supper was served. Nearly the entire number of guests pres ent at the wedding were guests at supper at the Gerlier home. The new ly wedded couple received the hear tiest congratulations of the entire community. Both Mr. Fiechter and his wife are well known and highly respected In Harrison township, east of Bluffton. They will make their future home on the Little farm, five I and one-half miles east of thia city.— Bluffton Banner. He says that Inasmuch there is only a certain amount of trunk bus! new. should the Erie be able to ob tain the increase of traffic .it would I hurt the other lint's operating through I the same territory. "But it is imp<* sibh'." said Mr. Wardrop." for a road to build another track and automatic ally secure by that action a large percentage of existing business. While It inay lx» equipped to handle It expe dlouely. it will take years of work to obtain the desired Increase. And too. the operating department if they worked years couldn't increase the baalne**. That is work of an entire!' different nature. The Erie railroad runs some very fast freights, end en joys the patronage of conalderable number* of *hippen». But they cannot get thirty per cent, more buaineaa by merely building more tracks.’ The Fort Wayne Journal Gaxettc. ... a " - THE STORK'S STOP A fine ten pound boy w»s born Hun day evening lo Mr. and Mrs. George Meyer* of Marshall street.
