Our school took a half holiday last week. 1 The first and third grade, on Tuesday all ■ going away in sleds? the former visited 1 Miss Fleming's school, the latter theschool 5 al Berne. On Friday the second grade done likewise, they surprised the school of Win, I Wetter, of French township. To say that > the children enjoyed themselves would not tell the story. This is a new departure from our school days dated 1853 while theirs is of 1893, and we generously figure in the progressive age. i During last Friday night we were aroused from our slumbers by a noise seemingly unearthly. We arose in haste to search for some wrecked safe in the town. We first examined the store of Hoffman & Gottschalk, then the store of Heller & NeaderJiouser, finding nothing out of order, we ; again went to the rear of the store of H. & G. where Edwin Heller found us and demanded who was there. We identified ourself; we soon learned that Mr. Heller had heard the same disturbance and was watching for the depredator, upon learning that Mr. H.'s opinion was in unison with our own, that a safe had been cradked, we , at once repaired to the business house of i Anderson & Anderson, but found all quiet; , we reported to Heller and returned to bed , only to be routed again by the opening of . i doors of our own domicile, dressing once , . more, we came down to find an outer door open, we struck a light and went in search ( of the burglar, looking through various ( rooms aijd found none, we again visited ' the store and retired once more, which ‘ made going to bed number four for one ( night, and on arising the next morning we ( learned the cause of the trouble to be a ton : or two of ice falling from the roof of Heller ’ and Neaderhouser’s store, carrying the ' spouting with it, and when about two or three hundred pounds of ice struck the cellar door, is when we supposed a large ' safe was wrecked. The same evening ' Messrs. Allison, Gottschalk, Hocker, Walser, Hppkins and Ashbaucher with their ladies were callers on I’. Hoffman and family, The gents looked some over town when it had been just about time for them to take their better halves home and return with a kit of burglar tools and cause our disturbance. Monroe Melange. V. BWSitncoke was at home last Sunday and Monday. The Methodist persuation of Monroe are holding a protracted meeting and it js hoped that all the old sinners will be cor- ' railed and harnessed. Some thief or thieves drove a team into 1 Chris Hocker’s barn yard on the farm on Thursday night of last week and loaded up ; a load of corn aud oats and got away with it. No clew’, as usual. i Jonathan Burkhead drove into Monroe one day last week, hitched his team and ; stepped into the store to warm, when he was ready to start home his whip was . gone. Stolen. No clue, as usual. Jonathan stood on his ear. , It is strange that all the buggies and , wagons that go into Monroe must be lan- ’ sacked by some thief and stripped of whips, robes and blankets In broad day light, and f not be caught is very mysterious. f Frank Hartnett is fixing for the coming cold wave that he is expecting about Maj’ e by filling his coal bin full of seven'dollar s nut coal, and hauling it from Decatur.

Tliose who are not in a position - to know can hardly realize to what extent ' s preparations are going on for the accommodation of visitors, and yet great as the '*■ preparations are. there will be many who will be compelled to put up with just what n they can get and not what they would dei- sire, and to avoid many disappointments d and inconveniences, I would suggest to persons who expect to come here and bring it thtilr rathily aiid Who expect to enjoy the lair in all its many points of interest, une. incumbered and unrestricted, I would sugil gest that they at <#i<-e negotiate; with par- ' ties who have rooms to rent. Engage your , () rooms as.early as possible, if you put it off until the last few weeks, the probabilities are you will have to gp twenty-five. or thirL ty miles out to get anything like suitable ls rooms. As to board, no arrangements need be made before hand. Eating houses will II be plenty all over the rity and on the grounds. What you do want is it good | le place to sleep after a day spent in walking | re many miles, pushing and crowding gbout I y through the throng, you will find it the I is source of a great deal of satisfaction, if you. k know that yon have a good fied to go to , and just where, to go to get it. The flow*}

town hotels have all their sleeping apartments engaged. Temporary lodging houses are being built all over the city, especially on the South side and In the vicinity of the Fair grounds. These are being engaged long before they are completed. Private families are arranging to let rooms, contracting with parties from a distance and soon all desirable locations will be taken, and those who do not secure rooms four or five weeks In advance, will be compelled to go either outside of the city, or to take rooms in a much less respectable locality The prices for rooms without board In that locality known as the best part of the city, that is, the most respectable part, and in easy distance of the grounds, ajp about as follows: Single room with single bed, one person, <1,85 per day; double room jvlth double bed, one person, <2.85 per day; same with two persons, <8.00; double room with two double beds two persons, <3.75 per day. The same room with three persons <4.75 and the same room with four persons <5.50, per day. These prices will no doubt advance as the time for the opening of the fair approaches. The fact that many of the daily papers here insist that there will be no advance In prices of board or room rent is not evidence that it will be so. Already prices are advancing and will continue to do so despite all efforts that may be brought to bear to keep them from it. The demand for rooms seems to be greater in the southern suburbs than elsewhere. The distance from the down town densely populated districts and away from the stiffling atmosphere of the city, coupled with its close proximity to the Fair grounds irprincipally the cause of the South side being mostly favored by parties engaging rooms so far in advance. It is a wise forethought and one that will not be appreciated until they live in Chicago during the heated term. * # * Chicago, 111., Jan. 30, 1893. W. C. T. U. Unction. A new law called theEvansDispenary law has been enacted in South Carolina which is quite sweeping in its provisions, and is to go into effect ou the Ist of July. The act provides that after that date the manufacture, sale, barter or exchange or the keeping and offering for sale, barter or exchage of any spiritous malt, wine, termehted or other intoxicating liquors or any compound or mixture thereof shall be unlawful. The penalties for violation are extreme. The payment of a United States tax or the posseesion of liquor in sufficient quanity to Indicate an intention to sell, is to be regarded as sufficient for conviction, and upon conviction the first offense shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars and imprisonment in the county jail for not less than ninety days, nor more than one year. All places where intoxicating liquors are sold, bartered or given away in violation of this act or where persons are permitted to resort for the purpose of drinking such liquors are to be declared common nuisances. A state dispenser, whose work is overlooked by a state board of control, coni|K>sed of the governor, attorney-general and comptroller-general and who must give a bond of <IO,OOO forthe faithful performance of their duties is appointed to sell under great restrictions, such chemically pure liquors as may be thought to be needed for medical and other uses. The elimination of the saloon from politics seems to be one of the best features of the law. Mrs. Avery, of Limona, Fia., has offered 160 acres of land and a cottage to be used as a home for orphans, under the direction of the W. C. T. U. The National-American Woman’s Suffrage Covention, recently held in Washington, D. C. was the twenty-fifth anual convention of that body and was well attended and interesting. The writer is under obligations to Mrs. A. J. Hill for copies of the Washington Evening Star containing full reports of the convention. Married The Other Fellow. Findley, 0., Jan. 28.—There was a romantic marriage here yesterday afternoon at the home of Clyde Spear, city passenger agent of the Finley, Fort Wayne & Western road. Miss Louise M. Conlisk, of Toledo, was engaged to be married to-day to a young gentleman of that city?and the preparations were all completed. The marriage, it seems, was designed to please the young lady’s mother rather than herself. But several month ago Miss Conlisk saw and fell in love with Fred C. Boyd, traveling passenger agent of the Clover Leaf route, and a disturbance followed in the family. Mr. Boyd was forbidden the house and under the orders of the mother, preparations for the wedding went on. By arrangement Mr. Boyd and Miss Conlisk met at the Toledo & Ohio Central depot, came to Findley and were married at the house of Mr. Spear. They left for Chicago on their bridal trip last night, after Mrs. Conlisk was notified no.t to proceed further with the wedding arrangements. Therp is another chance left for the jiltet suitor of Miss Conlisk. There are several young ladies in Decatur who were—to all appearances—betrothed to Mr. Boyd, and we would advise the aforesaid deposed suitor to come hither and elope with one of them and play even. Bryant had a genuine sensation last Sunday night which sadly surprised the good people of that sleepy little burg. A Reverend “Zyers" so he called himself, has been warning the people of the wrath to come and leading sinners to repentance by his inspired eloquence. Sunday night after a rousing meeting the worthy minister was visited by John Baker of Big Rapids. Michigan, who claimed that the preacher had eloped with his wife. The parson was arrested and taken to Portland where be gave his name as Morse, and said he bad a wife and seven ceildren at home. lie now languishes in the county jail under a bond of s3oo.—Geneva r AVi> eliONe our friends not our relatives,” has become a trite saying; but that Is hardfor turning ttjxin those to whom Fate has also dented any voice In I the choice of ourselves, aau),' without JterI haps a thought of the pain we may be fn- ■ Hiding, trampling upon their teiuterest feeling, their most delicate scruples, and ■ their dearest hopes and aspirations with a ruthless brutality that eau be excused only oil the ground so often given that “we never guessed limy would mind so niffeh.” -Ex.

Did you ever notice how froqvently It occurs that yon are by some problem as to what step you ought or not to make up your mind and acted to talk upon that conclusion, you are annoyed by doubts and fears as to whether you have done the right thing or the opposite? Then again, don’t you remember how, when some other fellow comes to you for advice, you generally give it at once, and how very seldom it is that you have any doubt as to the wisdom of the advice have bestowed? It’s alright however, because we, very few of us know the other chap.—Ex. Comrades, the time will soon be here for Memorial day, a day set apart for the holding of services in commemoration of those of our comrades who have listened to the bugle cull of the Great Commander of t.s all. Let each comrade prepare himself for the occasion. Each ex-soldier in or near this place should bo ready to devote that day to the service of keeping in memory those who sacrificed their lives for the country in which we live.
