Magley family at Monmouth was much frightened last night to receive a telegram from their son, Lloyd, a student in the Indiana Veterinary \co|lege at Indianapolis, asking them to meet the train with an automobile. He had left for uis school work last Tuesday, after spending a few days vacation here, and as nothing was in the telegram to say what the matter was, everything from an accident to a severe illness was imagined by the worried friends here. About a year ago he was very ill of pneumonia in school. When he arrived here he was found to be suffering from a choking sensation in the throat and he was taken home, put to bed, given warm drinks and local remedies until a doctor arrived. In a short time he broke out with a very pronounced case of measles. The story that the Clover Leat railroad company was about to remove its shop from Delphos to Decatur, proved untrue, through the investigation of Judge B. J. Brotherton, on behalf of the Commercial Club of Delphos. No request for an appropriation to change the Delphos Division point has been made by Receiver Ross. Mr. Brotherton learned this through a conference with the attorney for the receiver. The agitation prevalent in official circles of the road a number of years, for the removal of the terminal from Delphos, still exists but it has advanced no further than when it first came up, Mr. Brotherton learned. Delphos’ interests will be looked after in case a petition should be filed with the court, which is not considered likely, in view of the bankruptcy proceedings in which it now figures.—Van Wert Times.

CLAIRVOYANT PROF. GIFFORD A WONDERFUL MAN Seen at his parlors, the remarkable enigma was surrounded by a moultry throng waiting to know what the future held in store for them. Some wanted to know if they would soon marry, others if they would be successful in business, others if their domestic troubles would soon cease and still others wanted to know ■ I about sick ones, and thus the whole , job lot of them striving to know what the future holds in store for them. Each one emerged from the consultation room with broad smiles upon their faces. Prof. Harry Gifford is a most wonderful man. He was born with a strange and remarkable power, not intended to gratify the idle curious, but to help men and women 1 in the every-day affairs of life. He 1 has read for some of the most prominent people of this country. Asked if he told the future, he said: “I tell the past as well as the future.” He says the very approach of a stranger is vibrated and revibrated to his senses. That as soon as q caller is seated before him their trou- " bles, worries and anxieties appear in a hallo around them and he is able to advise them and tell scores cf things that seem impossible. He says that he can never tell before he reads for a person what he will be able to see for that person. It is said that during the course of a reading he actually tells your name. He has decided to stay a few days longer. His parlors remain open to the public until 9 in the evening. Now at J. H. Stone’s. 215 So. Second Street. GROCERIES WILL CLOSE.
