James Niblick, the affiable proprietor of the Central Grocery, was passing out the best cigars in town last Saturday in honor of the arrival of his birth day.

N.” known to our citizens, is sick at the home of his nephew in Champaign. 111. The Gazette of Champaign, says it is thought that an abcess is forming in his throat which may end his career. He ridicules the science of medicine, and it is impossible to get him to take any remedy. A physician was called to see him a few davs ago and it was only after a great deal of parleying that the sick man submitted to an examination—Fort Wayne Journal. A blessing in the shape of a real good laugh, or better yet, one continuous one, comes with the advent of the New York success “My Friend from India.” It comes to the opera house the evening of Jan. 20. and those who have troubles can well as ford to leave them at home for A. Keen Shaver, the barber, who under takes to allow himself to lie passed off for a student of Theosophy has troubles galore, and one can hardly imagine the funny series of ridiculous, lauhgable situations that the author has woven into one comedy in three acts.

An unknown man was found dead on the outskirts of a small Kansas town a few days ago. A search disclosed a revolver and one hundred dollars in cash on the unfortunate man. The coroner held an inquest, and it took seventy five dollars to defray the expense and bury the body. The police judge fined the corpse twenty-five dollars for carrying concealed weapons and confiscated the gun. The local newspaper got nothing for publishing the obituary. The Fanners' Institute which met at Bosse's opera house last Friday and Saturday was unquestionably the largest and most interesting ever held in the county. Interesting talks were made by a number of persons who were thoroughly posted in every department of the farm and the session was an immense success. On account of the failure of the secretary to furnish us with a report we greatly regret that we are unable to furnish our readers with a complete account of the pr< ceedings. During the next week we may according to Parson Hick's prepare for weather about as follows: The regular change to warmer will advance from the west, causing more rain, snow and sleet, about the 17th to 19th. It will be safe to count on a severe cold wave out of the north-west as a sequel to these disturbances causing blizzards in the north and west, and sending high barometer and cold far ■ south. The same changes, ending in I similar phenomena, will Ire natural | from about the 23rd to 26th. — Berne. Sam Schindler and wife were at Bluffton, Monday.

Fred Eichenlierger and John Bixler went to Decatur Tuesday to file a new affidavit against Frenchy or "Frisco Jim”, and we all hope that he will have to enjoy the pleasure of jail life for many days yet. John Glancy, who is working north Os Grand Rapids. Mich., on the bridge gang, was reported badly hurt Friday of last week. His wife, who went up there Sunday on the midnight train, reported back that his injuries were not as bad as at first reported and that he would be able to come home in a few days. Institute Report. The third institute of Washington township was held at school No. 2. At 10 o’clock a. m. Supt. Brandyberry called the house to order. Miss Edna Barnett, teacher of No. 2. conducted the opening exercises by songs and a short scripture lesson. The roll was called which showed all present eachanswered with aquota tions from Whittier. Plato’s Republic was then taken up by A. W. Graber in the form of a paper. J. A. Parent followed in a discussion of the subject. Some of the thoughts brought outwent that a woman should have as good an education as a man, and that women in many cases are far superior in shrewdness. Cora V. Hower presented an orignal poem entitled "Winter.” “Social Elements.” This subject was handled by Misses Florence and Rose Johnson, each read very interesting papers, which showed that in order to succeed one must pursue the vocation laid out for him in order to meet with great success. The next thing in order was dinner which was served by the the teacher at Mr. Steele's. The first subject in the afternoon was a recitation by Miss Laura Steele. Arithmetic was then taken up and discussed by J. T. McKean who presented some very strong arguments on "Short cut Methods.” Life is too short to waste away with long analvsis of problems. Most of i the memliers were in favor of analysis. Miss Edna Barnett discussed the ] subject of "School Management” 1 which was ably discussed. In order ito govern a school you must govern i yourself first Ijcfore you can govern others. J. A. Parent. Sec'y.
