* lls ses Besne Baird and Jessie W ilson of Portland, were the guests of Miss Bertha Heller Tuesday for a few hours on their way to thGfc, ln da V School convention at Bluffton. The Portland city council is giving the question of more brick streets some consideration, and may conclude to favor Tuckertown with this improvement, in the due course of time. she railroad companies.■ are busy* right now making rates to the Kansas City convention. It will cost some thing like 515 from this city and return. a rate that will will not admit of much complaint. A Decatur young lady Miss Mae Berling, has been asked to deliver the opening address at the commencement exercises of the Academy of the Sa. ,ed Heart to be held at Fort Wayne, Tuesday evening, June 26. The entertainment by home talent at the Baptist church last Thursday evening was one of the best ever given in the city, and those who attended were given a rare treat in the way of excellent music and reading. The death of Mrs. Crist Bultemeyer occurred at her home in Preble township last Thursday morning. She had been ill with pneumonia about a week. The funeral services were hold at Freidheim Sunday morning. A continued session of tie- citv council was held at their rooms on street Friday evening and the time was taken up with a discusssion of the Barret law. No business of importance was transacted. The Evening Banner at Bluffton, is doing the Sunday School association mating in metropolitan style, in which much ability and practical newspaper genius, is displayed, all of which reflects great credit upon that newspaper. Peter Russel has been having his troubles this week by having attempted to make trouble for some fishermen. He has at present changed his postogice address and the chances are his smiling countenance will not Ire visible here for several days. The business Karnival at Bosse’s opera house last evening under the auspices of the ladies of the Christian church was well attended® and was very interesting. The entertainment will be repeated this evening and should enjoy a lilieral patronage. Bluffton is this week entertaining the Indiana Sunday School association, and we are free to admit that a better figld for this evangelical cause, could not have Ireen selected. They need considerable coaching, in the Sunday school line, and we hope the improvement contemplated will be realized. The case is a bad one, and 6 drastic measures will have to Ire im- • posed.

The Elks karnival at Marion this week seems to be the attraction that is attracting. Many thousand Elks and their friends have been present. I he next annual meeting will be held in Fort Wayne. P. G. Hooper has sold his Second street property to Jacob Atz, j#e harness man, for the very snug ("sideration of Mr. Hooper will at once erect a handsome residence on the lot just south of his former home.

Allison of this city and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Morrow of Bluffton will leave on the morning of July sth for their northern homes at Odem Michigan, where they will proceed to enjoy the summer. I his is the l:>t week of the present i court term, and it will be followed by a vacation lasting eleven weeks or until Septembe|)3. This is practically the only vacation during the court year. The practing members of the bar will now have plenty of time to go fishing. Hon. Henry S. Fargo, candidate for the nomination for congress before the democratic convention at©Hartford City, July 18, has gone as far as to have himself reproduced in Editor Cox's Evening News, and the only supposition remaining is that he is® in the fight to the finish. © The president of the Indiana Sunday School Association is none other than W illiam C. Hall of Indianapolis, a traveling salesman who makes this place frequently. From the tone of his address as president, we are lemf to beleive that he is right at home in the Sunday School wqrk. Del Locke and .11 B. Stev ens were t havi ne to Montpelier today to attend a meeting of the board of directors of the Oil Belt Traction Co., but were so busy they could not get Eastern Capitalists are here looking over the proposed route with a view rebuilding the line.—Bluffton Banner. • - < One new criminal case and one civil case grace the dockets of the circuit court this week andareentitled as follows: State of Indiana vs Ed, N.

Tony Wahl, of Lafayette, Indiana was the guest of B. J. Terveer and family over Sunday. Mr. Wahl is the proprietor of a Jewelry and Music store in his home city and he had with him a phonopraph which entertained his friends here ven* nicely. The instrument was the clearest we have ever heard and his selection of nearly 100 pieces were the chokest on earth. @ Frank France after a three weeks visit with friends here left Monday itft<*fuoon Ga., where he will again assume the management of the three hotels ®of that thriving city.
