The death of Dr. Beall this morning will cause much sorrow, genuine and sincere, among the people not only of Fort Wayne but of all of northeastern Indiana. He was a capable and well trained physician, a man of the highest character in every way and a citizen of the highest grade. Our sincerest congratulations are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Paul Miller, whose fiftieth wedding anniversary was celebrated yesterday. They were married in Germany. February 6,187 S, and until four years ago when they moved to this city, resided in Root township. They have raised a large family and have done their share towards making tills a better community in every way.

A letter from John I). Williams, director of the state highway- coihmissions bids we folks of Adams county to be of good cheer with the assurance that we will soon be included in the road distribution of Indiana. We believe the east and west road through here is.as important as any in the state and should be a part of the state system and we have faith in tlu? men in charge, but we hope they do not postpone action so long that we of the present generation do not see the benfits.

Tile republican national committee is threatening to take their convention away from Kansas City because the accomodations do not seem to be adequate for the occasion. The Kansans should make a little trip down to Houston and catch the spirit now rampant there. They will build a suitable convention hall, a new hotel and other buildings to take care of a crowd that will be every bit as large and perhaps larger than.that which gathers for the republican convention.

The new postoffice appropriation bill offered in congress today contains provision for SIOO,OOO for a new building at Fort Wayne, first section .of a million to be used there, also appropriations for new buildings at Hammond, East Chicago and Rushville. Not a word is said about Decutur and for some reason or other, we seem to have tost out entirely. Among those here who migh have some influence in Washington interest in a new federal building here is also at low ebb. We are confident that if sufficient enthusiasm could be aroused here we would be included. Evidently the grand jury did not see fit to indict Arthur L. Gillium,, attorney general of Indiana, for providing whiskey for the treatment of hts sister ami in refusing to do so, very ‘probably saved the county the expense of the trial. It is doubtful if a coiivfction could have been secured under the circumstances for after all, people are more interested in common sense in law than in technicalities. It is claimed by some thut Mr. Gilliom would have welcomed such

an Indictment for it would have given bint the opportunity to proclaim his ideas of the Wright luw. Let it go at that. i Miss Blanch Merry, state attendance officer, docs not abide by the decisions of the attorney general, unless she pleases to. The decision of Mr. Gilliotn two weeks ago was very dear in saying that the selection of a local truant officer and her qualifications were absolutely in the hands of the county board of education, but Miss Merry has appealed the case to herself and decided that the law does not mike any difference. Her principal objection to Mrs. Ferd Peoples who was elected to the place is probably the fact that she is a democrat. Really it would be funny if it wasn’t serious.

The county board of education has elected Mr. Ferd Christen to be county agricultural agent, succeeding Martin Bttsche who has resigned to accept a similar position in Madison county. The selection we believe is a wise one and will meet the approval of a majority of the people. There seems to be a feeling among some of the state authorities that it is bettei to have an outside man for this position but no one can deny that Mr Busche has made a splendid record £nd has achieved much. He has interested many ill the various clubs, lias proven a valuable information bureau for those who wished to take advantage of modern scientific meth ods in farming and has made his office a popular one among many. Mr Christen will we believe do likewise. He is well prepared for the place, being a graduate of Purdue university and a student of those things which will now come under his supervision. Properly supported he will help the farmers and the community in many

A lad of 17 was paying a Sunday afternoon call to his "girl.” a miss of 15, at her home near this city. Tw4 revolvers, property of the girlts father, were brought out by her and there was a bit of play wholly meant to be harmless. The girl pointed her weapon and pulled the trigger. Yes, indeed, it was, but while the youth of her affections lies upon a bed of pain in St. Joseph hospital, in this city, the young lady continues to protest that she didn't know it. There have been thousands of instances recorded which in no essential detail depart from the ptesent instance. Nobody who points a deadly weapon in play supposes it to be loaded. Generally if is. There is no occasion to repoint the moral. The incident points its own moral, as all like incidents 'do. A wise person, meaning no harm, will point a deadly weapon at nobody. Girls of 15 and lads of 17 are old enough to know better. The injured youth, though dangerously hurt, is likely to recover—a happy auguray enough, but incidental. It might have been otherwise. —Fort Wayne Journ-al-Gazette.
