Erastus Fritzinger made a business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. Ixical Forcaster Palmer gives it as his opinion that this is not Indian summer. Usually the spell of weather called Indian -summer follows what is called “Squaw winter.” The first snow is usually called “Squaw win ter.” The Pennsylvania Railroad will carry free to New York all Christinas gifts for Belgian orphans and refugees of the European war. This free service wil be performed for all such freight shipped by’ organised societies between now and November 30. Charles Eganroad, a Goshen grocer clerk, has filed suit against Thomas Collins, a farmer near Goshen, for $5,000 personal damages. The two men were lifting a barrel of sugar into Collins wagon, when the farmer dropped his end, injuring the clerk. A resolution allowing the police to work tramps on the streets of Bluffton will come before the next meeting of the city council, according to the statement of Mayor Mock last evening. Marshal Fritz has asked that this be passed in order that he may be able to rid the city of the tramps. People .who persist in burning the leaves at night need to be labored with. To begin with it is always dangerous. It will be poor comfort after a serious lire to have some night firebug of that kind tell the loser that he is sorry. Then to fill a who!' town or a section of the town with the fumes of burning leaves, quite regardless of people who are ill and who may be easily affected by the smoke, is far from consideration of the rights and comforts of others. If leaves have to be burned, why not burn them in the daytime?

Now that the fanners are beginnig to gather the corn crop, the report shows that it will be far from a poor one after all. As usual corn growers cried too soon during the long dryspell this summer. The fact is that the old Hoosier state is some corn state ami grows It wot or dry about as well as any spot on the footstool. A. J. Lehman, of Fort Wayne, Is in receipt of a telegram stating that he has been willed $33,000 by an uncle who died recently in Russia. Lehman had not heard from the uncle for over three years. The local man lived in the town with the uncle, who was a broker, and when he was >a boy had became a great favorite with the wealthy man. Two other brothers live In this country, but are not mentioned in the will. Dr. and Mrs. T. J. McKean and son, Garman, of Linn Grove; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bentz and daughters, Helen, Josephine and Dorthea, of Bluffton; Mrs. Augusta Klickman and daughter, Miss Anna, of Monroe, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Yake, west of the city. Mr. Yake’s family lived on North Tenth street, in this city, until about two weeks ago, when he purchased a fine home in Root township. That farmers living within the district infected with the hoof and mouth disease will suffer a loss of many thousands of dollars, is asserted by experts in St. Joe county, as a conservative estimate providing the disease is immediately checked. Practically every farm on the Chicago road between Hudson lake and Niles, a distance of nearly 15 miles, is infected, becked hactwc cef.sedua rda E Some idea of the cost of the railroads of publishing freight tariffs may be formed from the experience of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, one of the minor systems which three times in succession has caused to be printed a certain tariff to conform to changes officially ordered at a cost of $6,000 each, only to have it suspended finally by the authorities and the entire expenditure of SIB,OOO rendered nugatory. In this same connection, the new tariffs for C. F. A. roads based on the five pep cent rate advance and to become effective on the 26th instant in others are now being received, and in the case of a single road operaing into Pittsburg they bulk together with the accompanying supplements, nearly a foot in thickness, all closely printed on both sides of every thin paper. o j DOINGS IN SOCIETY « WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.

It certainly was a complete surprise by the looks of Mrs. Jackson on opening the door, a jolly crowd of masked girls piled in. representing all manner of people from the dear old grandmother to great tall Nancy. The masks were so complete, it being almost impossible > to recognize any one. After each one . was named correctly the masks were | removed and the evening was spsnt . in pupping corn, music, singing, jolt- .

Ing and a jolly good time. The class presented their teacher with a beautiful imported celery tray, and a number of many more happy birthday wishes, —contributed.
