James Harkless and family of Paulding arrived in the city yesterday and are attending conference to-day. “Jimmie" was fomerly book-keeper at the De rntur National Bank fora number of years. According to a newspaper report a skunk recently broke up a Christian science meeting in Georgia. The leader of the meeting was unable to convince his followers that they onlyimagined they smelled something. Moser makes a tpscial rate on photos to those attenoing conference. \our picture is an appropriate present which will be highly appreciated by friends and acquaintances. All work furnished promptly and guaranteed to please. The’committee appointed for reception of Company B. met yesterday afternoon and adjourned until Tuesday evening at Grand Army Hall. At this meeting all citizens are requested to be present and meet the committee. Miss Blanch Galbreath, who has teen the guest of Mrs. F. V. Mills for several weeks left yesterday morning for her home at Harlon, lowa. Miss Galbreath made many friends while in the city, and a number of them gathered at the Mills home on Mercer street Friday evening to bid her a good-bve. The Municipal League, recentlyformed at a meeting at Huntington, followed closely after by another at Marion, will meet for the third time in Fort Wayne, Thursday, May 18, at which time and place an organization will be completed. The object of the association is for the apprehension of criminals and other violators of law and order. Rev. U. D. Shackleford was a most welcome caller at this office yesterday and we hereby acknowledge receipt of same. Rev. Shackleford was the minister of the M. E. church at this place from 1867 to 1869, and his stories of incidents of those times are indeed interesting. He speaks most flattering of the marked improvement in our hustling little city. While going the round yesterday, he was in charge of our popular City Engineer, Harry Knoff, who was a member of the Methodist choir at the time Rev. Schackleford was minister of the charge at this place.

Henry Hart and family of Fort] , ayne arej the guests of friends in the city. Mayor Kinsley of Hartford City,! is under arrest for shooting to kill l Carn Capper, a young fellow of that city. The shooting took place about eight o’clock Thursday evening near the home of the former. The affair seems to be wrapped in a mystery which the public, as yet, is not premitted to gaze upon, but in all probability the mayor will be releived of a great deal of responsibility, which is now reflected upon him. Stella Mayhew is always welcome to her many admirers amongst theater goers. Her numerous darky songs and banjo solos are enjoyed by all. She will be seen in her original character this season as the good hearted and lovable old black aunty in “On the Suwanee River” and will introduce some of the latest and best negro melodies. At Bosse’s opera house, Wednesday, April 12. Advance sale usual place. 2 Among the senior members of the North Indiana Conference, now in session here, is Rev. J. B. Nash, of Monroeville, who is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lehman. Rev. Nash is one of the very oldest members of the conference and has been on the superannuated list for a number of years. No one is more interested, however, in the annual meeting of the workers for God and church than he, and he is a regular attendant at each and every meeting of that body. The attorney gives an opinion that according to the new law governing the distribution of township funds among the poor, no applicant for assistance can receive over 515 a year for all purposes, except only for burial purposes or medical aid. If necessity demanns the outlay of more than 515 for any one person, that person is to be considered a fit subject for the poor farm and sent there, and allowances discontinued. Under the old law some of the township wards drew this amount each quarter.

On the Suwanee River comes to the Bosse opera house, Wednesday. April 12, in a new departure in the line of Southern dramas. While it introduces some colored people in the plantation scenes, it does not in any way depend upon them to attract attention to the disadvantage of the story and the interest of the audience. The scene in which the colored people are introduced is a perfectly natural one and in it are introduced the songs, dances and pastimes of the plantation hands. When the scene is finished the darkies are no more in evidence. This is as it should be. This kind of talent is all well enough in its place and when not overdone is aniustng and interesting. Advance sale usual place.

S YOUR Want EAR nl Please. If you want a GOOD SUIT for spring or summer wear, get it of a responsible house and pay a fair and proper price for it. If a cheap and shoddy garment is offered to you at a price that seems to be very small, don’t take it, it isn’t worth while. These are the facts: Our clothing is made as well as it can be made: it is properly cut and i trimmed and finished, it is of the best materials and ; ] it is sold direct to the wearer at the lowest price that is possible. We are showing a magnificent stock of SPRING SUITS and most of them are marked at prices way below their real value. mt bum ? Dppp' 01 übb b.
