A Louisville man broke his collarbone while beating a rug. More argument for those who have tried for years to convince their wives of the dangers of house cleaning time. Always something new. A man who loves exercise has started on a 10,000 mile horse back ride. It will be interesting to learn how many miles fie makes on a bushel of oats and how his "tires” wear. a.- 1 1 — It. C. Stephenson who will perhaps not deny the drunken party which resulted in the death of Miss Oberholzer and his arrest on a charge of murder, after a disgraceful trip to Hammond, is one of those fellows who was preaching reforms a few months tigo and telling others howto be good.

S. thermometer al Fort Wayne station at three o’clock yesterday afternoon, smashing all records for the time of year and causing every one to start a search lor summer clothing. A break is promised for today and with heavy snows in the west the change may tie a very decided one.

His case was heard in federal court at Gnat Falls, Montana, and will dispose of the efforts of those who so hoped for his conviction. He will return to Washington no doubt with a determination to make the real violators be good.

The boys of today will be the men of tomorrow and it is important that they be taught their responsibilities and the necessity for preparation and clean living if they are to keep up with the rapidly moving world and win the places they now anticipate. Frederick Schafer will nerve as junior mayor of the city one hour Tuesday afternoon and assisted by ills official assistants will have the opportunity to assist the youth of now and the community 'afterwhile, .loin in paying proper respect to the boys next week. Fires in Indiana last year cost more than eight million dollars or $2.92 for every man, woman and child in the tiite. That's a terrible loss and when it is known that most of it was absolutely unnecessary, it would seem that every one would be interested in doing those things which would prevent fires. Yesterday from some cause a fire started in a furniture factor 1 a* Auburn and before it was controlled. a total loss of SBO,OOO was the
