Last Thursdsy evening it wai quietly rumored that certain local sports of Ft Wayne were coming to this city on the |it4 a. m. train on the G. R. & I to have a prize fight. These mysterious whispering! among the would be-sporti of this City attracted the attention of quite a number and before up. m. it was generally known all over the city. The rumor had ft that a load of saw dust had been hauled to the fair grounds and that a ring had been pitched and only awaited the arrivi' ot the principals. As it neared train tim< the excitement became very great. Perr < Miller and Frank Foreman went up to the depot to meet them, but neither being used to staying up so late they fell asleep and were awakened up about 4 a. m. in the morning. Perry wanted to know who had won, but when the operator told them it was the first day of April they slowly wended their way home thinking, “Chn such things be.” 6111 Bosse and John Yager took a position in a box car on the side track where they could see without being seen, and after the arrival of the train, from which no one got off, they, being old timers, took a bee line for home up the back streets. The bans Par’eil Club kept open and were going to give the Fort Wayne peo pie an elegant reception. About half an hour after the train had arrived some one happened to think that it was the first day of April. Whereupon Charley King opened his eyes, Dave Studabaker pricked up his ears, and Dan Niblick said he knew It all the time. In a few minutes the club rpdm was dark and its member had fled. Up town Will Christen and John Peter•Op and several others where making their headquarters at Coffee’s restaurant. About tn., after Mike had sold out everthing , to the eating line, told the boys that he ' ’WOuld have to close up and causually observed that it was the first day of April I This caused a general stampede, and in two minutes not a soul could be seen upon •the streets, except Bill Geary, the night . Watchman making his rounds. George Schroeder, of the Bert, kindly • nformed his guests ot the coming fight, but about a o’clock a cigar drummer from Dayton made some remark about April •nd went to bed. One by one the rest followed, leaving George to keep the vigil watch of the night. When last seen George was standing on the corner of Second and Monroe streets gazing to Ward the railroad. It Is safe to say that this was the greateat April fool ever penetrated in the city, but it was impossible to find any one who had waited to see the prize fight the next tooming. k. Deserving Praise.

4 W. C T. U. Notea. There will be a prayer meeting held in the hall to night at 7:30 and to-morrow at 2:30 p. m. All are invited. A letter fiom Yokohoma states that leading Japanese capitalists of that city and a part ot Japanese in Chicago, are completing the 1 ecessary arrsn,emenfs for the establisnment of a Japanese Sake brewery with a capital of $250,000. This is the principal intoxica'ing drinks of the Japanese, brewed from rice, and will of course stimulate a “great industry.” If the Congress of the United States had the Interest of the people at heart this thing would be forbidden before it gets a foot hold, but Congress wdl do nothing of the kind, no matter how much appealed to unless indeed the patrons and promoters Os the ‘(great American indurtry” of beer making should see that their craft is in danger and should step in and forb'd it. which is sincerely to be hoped they will Eyen Satan inadvertently brings about the overthrow of evil occasionally. This is a case in which the old, oft repeated quotation [applies: “I hear a lion in the lobby roar, say, Mr. Speaker shall I shut the door and keep him out? or, shall I let him in, and trust to luck to get him out again?” Had lager beer been prohibited at its incipieacy America to day would have been a comparatively temperate country, but that deceitful drink which lures a man on until he has lost control of his will and so blinds him that he does not see hir danger, is the gigantic curse of this or any other country where it is used. If ten glasses will produce full intoxication as : t will in many cases, then one glass will make the drinker one-tenth drunk, for it is the alcohol that is in the beer which people drink it for. Remove the alcohol from it and who would drink the filthy slop. Yet thousands who drink it im agine there is no harm in it, and would not drink whisky under any circumstances, until after months or years of beer drinking when beer is discarded for something stronger. Think of it ye moderate beer drinkers. Wanted —Two million boys! One family out of every five must contribute a boy to keep up the supply! Will you help? Talk it over with your wife and de cide which of the boys be. Have you given your share to keep up this great public institution thrt is helping to pay your taxes and kindly electing your pub lie officials for you? Have you contributed a boy? If not, some other family has had to give more than its share! Is this fair and right with your neighbor? Will you selfishly vote to keep the saloon open to grind up boys and then do noth ing to keep up the supply? Send'either Charlie, Fred or Dan. Your wife will easily know which one she would like to see used up in this manner for the public benefi!—The Advance. State Statisticion Peele has collected statistics from seventy-six of the ninetytwo counties showing the real estate school fund, chattie mortgages and me chanlcs’s liens. In the seventy six coun ties in 1 891, 32.509 real estate mortgages were filed, representing $37,681,629. The number of mortgages satisfied was 13,058, and the amount represented $6,374,809 The statistician has also compiled his figures on social statistics. On this subject all the counties were heard from except Cass and Greene. The statistics show that there are in the county poor asylums 339 insane persons and 445 who are idiotic. The figures also show that during 1891 2,235 divorces were granted in the state. Os the complainants 1,532 were wives and 689 husbands. Following is a rule for testing the heat of an oven, and it may prove of interest to the good wife who is troubled a with burned bread, pies and cakes. It origniated in France, and it might be well to cut this article out and paste it in your scrap book. “Try your oven with a piece of white paper; it too hot the paper will blacken or blaze up; if it becomes a high brown it is fit for pastrv; if it tarns a dark yellow it is fit for bread and the heavier kinds of cake; if light yellow the oven is ready for sponge cake and the lighter kinds ot deserts.” Ira and Grade Simcoke, of Monroe, were visiting their aunt, Mrs. A.
