Mrs. William Conrad and daughter, Miss Luella, and Miss Hulda Prange left last evening over the Clover Leaf for St. Louis and then to the state oi Arkansas, where they will visit with relatives at Stuttgart and Crock’s Bluff. Hon ex-Editur Cale Fluhart thinks some o’ returnin’ t’ th’ republican party an’ he wants t’ know if it’ll be all right if he jest drops a pustal card instead o’ writin’ a letter. How’d you like t be a rear-admiral on a Zeppelin a day like this?—Abe Martin. Dr. J. N. Hurty, state health officer, reports that there is an epi demic of diphtheria among rabbits in several counties of Indiana and in Switzerland and other countries rabbits have died by the thousands from the malady. At first the disease was thought to be the foot and mouth disease, but is now believed to be diphtheria, to which the rabbit is susceptible. Hunters or others find ing dead rabbits are requested tc report their finds to the health cf vers. While the quarantine, both federal and state, because of the hoof and mouth disease among cattle in the central west, is hitting hard the move ment of freight over several railroads, especially those running through Fort Wayne, the Clover Leaf according to reports received here yesterday, is getting more than its share of the business. Meat packers in Kansas City and St. Louis are us ing this road much more than usual now because it is a little farther from the zone of cattle infection, and through meat runs on the Clover Leaf are becoming very common, as the meat is sent to Toledo and east from there.—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

William PhlUey of Valparaiso visited with his hlster, Mrs. 11. L. Coverdale, at the George Dutcher home north of the city and stopped off in Decatur for a visit with relatives enroute to Celina, Ohio., where he will visit with a brother, Eli Philley, In the lakes of northern Indiana there Is a great abundance of cisco which come to the surface only for ten days in the fall, according to Captain Fleming of the game department. The peculiar fish that never bite on bait began coming to the surface Saturday. The game department allows fishermen to seine cisco as that is the only way the fish can be caught. Simple and significant as a match is, its manufacture is a complicated »nd elaborate process that can be carried on commercially only by means of a succession of ingenious machines and devices that must work at all times with the utmost precision and delicacy. Recent improvements in the process of making square matches make it possible to turn out matches from a single dipping machine at the rate of more than 600,000 an hour, and a green log is made into matches and packed for shipment in less then two hours. The process is fully described, with numerous illustrations, in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. An unsinkable sailing lifeboat, which is fitted with an auxiliary motor, is described, with illustrations, in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. The craft is built with a rounded bottom and broad beam, quite similar to the lines of a dinghy, while its top is decked. Two-leaved doors in the deck are opened when the boat is right-side up, its occupants sitting iii the hold. When a wave strikes the craft and capsizes it, the doors are automatically closed. The passengers are then within the craft. An aperature in one of the sides furnishes them with air, while it is also possible for them to open one of the deck doors on the up side. In this way they can loosen the mast, and by throwing their weight to one gunwale, right the craft again. For a wife to run off with another man is under any circumstances bad enough, but when she takes it into her head to desert a spouse with a good, plain and honest name like Charles Harris to abscond with a fellow who signs Buddy Custard to his checks, it is adding something to the injury. In a divorce complaint just filed in the superior court by Charles Harris against Carrie Harris, the plaintiff says his wife, to whom he was married February 11, 1907. deserted him October 29, 1909, at Paris, Ky., and went off with the said Buddy Custard. He begged her to return, but she refused and is now, according to the complaint, living with Mr. Custard as his common law wife in Dayton, Ohio. Adultery with Buddy is alleged. A daughter of the estranged pair, aged seven years, is stated to be now with her grandmother.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. For the transportation of wounded soldiers when conditions are such as to render the use of an ambulance impracticable. a double litter for carry ing two persons has been invented, which may bo strapped to a horse’s back. The device is described wit” illustration, in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. Two ordinary stretchers are suspended, one on either side of a horse, by canvas straps attached to heavy springs which fasten to a pack saddle. Sectional bars extend in front of and behind the animal, forming a framework which holds the stretchers securely while a breeching and breast strap keep the apparatus in place when it is being carried up or down a hill. The two springs upon which the whole contrivance is swung absorb the jolts, and brace straps, connecting with the harness underneath the horse, prevents a swinging motion. — —o MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY. Reports have been circulated in the city through some source or other that the management of the Crystal theater has given up the popular “Million Dollar Mystery.” Manager Parent desires to state, however, that this report is entirely wrong and that the sixth episode of the interesting story will appear as usual tomorrow afternoon and evening. This episode is entitled “The Coaching Party of the Countess.” In addition to this an Edison comedy entitled. "One Touch of Nature,” will also be given. For this evening, a two-reel Essanay feature, entitled, “The Motor Buccaneers,” and featuring Francis X. Bushman will be given. This feature is filled with exciting and startling actions and keeps the interest at high pitcli during the entire show.
