However, don't organize merely "or the purpose of providing the organizer an easy living. Conceit may help in running a bluff, but both amount to about the same thing when called.

i Miss Frances Dauer is visiting with | friends and relatives in Fort Wayne. | Tradition, however, is no older than | some of the other fool stories one hears from time to time, . It is the private opinion of apes- . simist crusader that there isn’t much chance of exterminating whiskers and dandelions. George KJnzle, superintendent of the local telephone company, is in Ft. Wayne today attending a district telephone meeting. The asylums arc crowded, and occasionally one hears a curbstone orator who compels the conclusion that they should be enlarged. Mrs. Amos Fisher went to Fort Wayne today noon to be with her sister, Mrs. Minnie Lewtou, who is ill. Mrs. Lewton had been quite ill but had grown better. She Is not so well again and is bedfast. She is thought to be suffering from tuberculosis. A circular has been issued showing that the estimate attendance at the California exposition will run even with that of the St. Louis fair. The season attendance at the latter was 12,805,000.

Great Britain has promised not to interfere with shipments of sugar beet seed from Germany to the United States with the provisions that it is proved that such seeds cannot be secured except in Germany, that no question of an exchange of commodities with Germany be involved, and that the seed be shipped through some neuaral port, such as Rotter dam.

Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Gerber returned tills morning from a week's trip through the east on a honeymoon tour, and will soon be at home in the Gerber residence on North Second street. A large crowd of Decatur people are expecting to go to Ossian this evening, tliis being Decatur night at 'he McCombo-Clase tabernacle meeting. Among the Decaturltes will be the Men’s chorus, which will give several selections. Rudolph Steury of northeast of Berne drove to this city this morning and when near the railroad south of town, the axle of his rig broke, necessitating the taking of the vehicle to the repair shop. Fortunately no one was hurt in the accident. In the June Woman's Home Companion, which is called “The Bride’s Number,” appears an article on wedding etiquette. The following is an extract taken from the article: “The earliest hour is eleven: high noon, followed by a wedding breakfast. Many fashionable weddings take place at four and even five in summer weather, but the evening wedding is rare. The hour of the wedding is somewhat ruled by the time-table if a wedding journey is contemplated, but often may be arranged by staying over night at a hotel and leaving the following day.” A Geneva special says: “The local option election in Wabash townshin. Jay county, in which the township went dry will, when the saloon at New Corydon is closed, abolish the auto service which has run between here and New Corydon on Saturday nights to enable the thirsty ones here to secure a supply for Sunday consumption. The outcome of the local option election soon to be held at Montpelier is being watched by numbers of thirsty ones who go there io quench their thirst. The nearest oasis for residents here will be Chattanooga, Ohio.” Armed with a thirty-eight calibre revolver, Frank Humphreys, a mentally deranged resident of Pierceton, went to Warsaw to carry out his threat “to clean out the court Bouse.” Humphreys, who was born and reared on a farm near Pierceton, recently got it into his head to become a lawyer and after defending himself in a suit in which his wife procured a divorce, he put out his shingle and advertised for business. After a fight, in which Sheriff Huffer was assisted by three other men, Humphreys was disarmed and handcuffed. He was locked in the county jail and was adjudged insane at an inquest. Symptomatic anthrax, a fatal disease of cattle, has made its appearance on the farm of John Good, three and one-half miles northwest of Syracuse, in Benton township. Three calves have died since Wednesday night. The disease is both contagious and infectious and can easily be carried from one farm to another, and is nearly always fatal. It is also communicated to people, especially through eating meat from infected animals. Heretofore the disease has appeared in the United States only lu Texas. The Good farm is under quarantine and precautions taken to confine the malady.—Ligonier BanV r - Two extra freight trains running on passenger train schedule, and loaded with live stock bound for export to one of the warring nations of Europe, passed through Van Wert early this morning on the Pennsylvania railroad. The first train consisted of forty cars and the second had thirty-eight cars in it. The stock, which is from the | Armour packing plant in Chicago,, is 1 being sent to New York at top speed and none of the cars will be unloaded on the entire trip, in order that connections may be made.with an outgoing vessel. Employes of the Armour company were on both trains to feed and water the stock. —Van Wert Bulletin. PLANTS FOR SALE.
