Tile house at Collins in Whitley county in which three peopile died within forty-eight hours of black diptheria will be burned to prevent a further spread of the disease. The house has been appraised at $25 and the county will have to pay this amount to the heirs. The coroner, however, states that the county can well afford to pay the $25 as the shanty cannot be fumigated. Concerning the plans for the future of the C. B. & C. and a request of security holders for time to reorganize the Huntington Herald says: “if the organization which asked for time buys the road the plan is to pay all the amount bid before four months and to start immediate repairs on the road, so as to have it in shape for Winter traffic. The latter organization probably would undertake to extend the road to Union City or beyond. Sunday dinners by parcel post is the latest, innovation in South Bend. So far. the plan has proved to be really successful, and it probably will be continued indefinitely. The originator of the plan is L. D. Pangborn, a farmer in Knox county. Every Saturday he is sending into South BenJ, from 100 to 200 roasted four-pound chickens, stuffed yrith dressing ami packed in dough, the package being in an air-tight can, which is so arranged to keep the fowl piping hot lor twelve hours.

The nose assumed a shape much similiar to that of a mushroom I soon-after the mishap. Dr. S. A. GoodIm dressed the fractured nose.—Bluff iron News.
