Because the Indiana militia is not preparing to take care of army wagons, tiie war department has halted a proposed shipment of twenty-five wagons to tiie state for the use of the militia.

Managers of the local moving picture shows have received orders from the state fire marshal telling them tc stop any one from entering the show if they are wearing roller skates. The orders came since the roller skate fad spread over tiie state and is in compliance with the state fire prevention law. Some boys and girls have a habit of skating into the show before removing their skate: and in case of a fire, it would be mere difficult for them and the other people to get out quickly. A remarkable find was made b; Mrs. 01 McCullough, living south o. the city recently. While she was pre raring a chicken for dinner, in cut ting the chicken open. Mrs. McCul lough was surprised to find six large eggs, which weighed over fourteen ounces. One of the eggs was unusually large, being more nearly the size of a duck egg and had a double shell. The hen in which this unusual assortment of eggs was found was of the common Plymouth Rock variety. The eggs are on exhibition at the Cronin drug store.—Hartford City Times. Bessie Ross, the young girl who lost her right hand several- months ago while at work in the Banner laundry in Fort Wayne, has been given judgment against the laundry for the sum of $2,000. She brought suit for $2,500, but the case was compromised at the sum named. The young girl was helped by the people of Fort Wayne, who contributed to a fund that aggregated $1,950, and tiie Citizens' Trust company was appointed guardian for her. With the additional sum she secured from the laundry, she will have enough money to almost get along on the interest. Within the next ten days all dispatchers and operators who handle trains on the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad between Fort Wayne and Grand Rapids will use the telephone instead of telegraph instruments as has been the custom for years. Four crews are now at work under Division Operator Betts, installing the new system. Nnder the old system of keeping a line on the location of trains along the road, te legraphers had to be stationed at every side track and every station, in accordance with the block signal system. The inauguration of the telephone system will result in a material change, and will mean that at least twenty operators will be out of a job. Linemen are now working in the vicinity of LaOtto and will read’ this city soon. A party of linemen from Kalamazoo is working south and the two gangs will meet in the vicinity of Howe.
