In Negaunee, Mich., the competion between rival telephone com panics is so great that ’phones are being placed in private houses free of charge. As soon as they add a compensation to the privilege of placing ’phones in hou-es, then we will move there. A peculiar state of affairs exists in Detroit, Michigan.

In France it is proposed to adopt the ? decimal system in reckoning time, one hundred seconds to the minute, one hundred minutes to the hour and ten hours to the day. The change will require shortening up the second in order to have the accounts balance. According to the present reckoning there are 86,400 seconds in a day, under the new systen 100,000. The earth will not change its speed to suit French figures. A movement has been started at Indianapolis for the organization of a people’s church on a very liberal basis. One person interested has spoken of it as “a church having neither politics nor religion” but that is too broad. It is to be organized on the basis of inculcating principles ofmbrality and humanity entirely independent of religions faith. The experiment is a somewhat interesting one, and many persons will watch its progress with curiosity if nothing more. ? Don Blake of Muncie, eighteen years old, yesterday was transferred to Michigan city to serve a sentence of one year for thievery. When but sixteen'years old he was married. One year later he became the father of twins. At eighteen he had been divorced/ had served a sentence on the “stone pile” and was under sentence to state prison, yet he complained to the sheriff that “this life is tame.” The sher iff promised that fqr the coming twelve months he would find his time fully occupied. An Indianapolis special to the Fort Wayne Journal says: “The Supreme court Thursday heard oral argument in Hhe case of W. E Hinshaw against the state. The case came to the court of appeals from the Hendricks county circuit .court. Hinshaw was convicted of the murder of his wife and sentenced to the southern Indiana penitentiary for life. He was a minister and lived at Belleville, Hendricks c®unty. Hinshaw claimed that the murder was committed by burglars. The prisoner is now confined in the penitentiary, although an appeal was taken within the legal time after the announcement of the verdict and sentence of the court.

Jacob Trimm has taken a position I with Byers & Baker, cigar manufacturers of Monroeville, Indiana. It is also said that Jake is making preparations to take a fair Van i Wert damsel under his wing, and try and make her happy while she | lives. Good boy Jake, there are others. School boys and snow balls came near causing a runaway on Main street Friday afternoon t.ia! might have resulted seriously.' We have no censure to make as we were boys once ourselves, and it will not pay to get mad, and people who make threat* at the small boy should remember that he must be caught before the threats can be carried into execution. The Decatur Democrat wants the city council of that place to put a license on advertising fakirs or ped Ilers, just as other peddlers are forced to pay. Good scheme. Any fakir can go around, get up a little advertising device, clear from 810 to $25 in a day and skip out, while the newspaper man must get sup port if he can, and if noq starve to death.—Portland Sun. Harry L. Troutman, for many years connected with thy Bluffton Banner, has purchased the Markle Journal and will publish a paper that is all his own.. Back iu the | dark ages, Harry was one of the Democrat employes and has many friends - and acquaintances in this city. He has been connected with the trade and profession since infancy and knows the ins and outs to perfection. Here is wishing him the best that runs loose. 1 Dora Erwin received a letter from Representative Kelley informing him that he had received he caucus nomination for assistant clerk of the House As we had already bestowed that honor upon Dick, inow b comes necessary 7 to retract and deposit it in the proper place. The Indianapolis Sentinel was our authority in the matter so we ere not to blame. As there will be no salary to draw, it is very 7 likely that Dick and Dora will not quarrel over the empty honor. Ten young ladies of our city decided thev could n>t talk enough and accordingly met Thursday evening and organized a “Conversational Club.” Sophia Mangold was elected president and Hattie Moore secretary. The object of the club is to improve their conver tion and keep themselves well versed iu current topics of the day. Now boys look out anv time you are met, expect to be talked to death as one of the young ladies confidentially informed us that she was going to practice on you.

When your home merchant presents you.with his bill, don’t allow the hair on your spinal column to raise like porcupine quills, and look as though you had been insulted. The chances are he trusted you for a shirt on your and groceries to keep your family. Speak kindly to him who has accomodated you, for you must remember that you like to have others pay yon cheerfully. A man whose temper rises to ninety degrees in the shade when asked for a just account and feels his dignity has been trampled on, is a good man—not to trust. An editor of a western paper is mourning the loss of two subscribers. Number one wrote asking how to rear twins safely, while the other wanted to know how to rid his orchard of grasshoppers The answers went forward by the next mail, but by accident he transposed them into the wrong enve opes, so that the man with the twins received this answen “Cover them carefully with straw and set life to it, and the little pests after jumping about in the flames for a few minutes, will speedily be settled,” while the man plagued with grasshoppers was told to “give caster oil and rub their gums with a bone. The young men both married and single of oiu neighboring cities are organizing what is known as a “mock congress.” The business of this body will be to imitate the high salaried gentlemen sent to Washington by the people. Each member will represent a state and speeches will l>e made and votes taken on important questions, just as they occur iu congress The young men of Decatur would find this a.very interesting way of amusing themselves, besides learning the usages of parliamentary law and other points that might be of vital importance to them in after life Os course we can not all go to congress but let’s pave the way in our youth, so that if we should ever be called upon to save our country we will pe ready.
