Policeman Thomas Buckmaster who filed the case against Nicholas Schafer last week for obstructing the view from the street into his saloon after eleven o’clock, appeared before ’Squire Smith last Thursday and had same dismissed. It is claimed the obstruction was a picture which had been put up carelessly, and with no .intention of violating the law Simeon P. Beatty left this morning j for Bluffton, upon his initial trip as representative of the Maryland Casualty Company. Sim is special agent and will look after the appointing of agents, boiler insurance and otherwise take care of the company’s interests in this part of Indiana. He will also visit other towns in the gas belt and will from now on be absent at least half the time. Pat Conn, an insurance man of Van Wert, well known here, has gone irretrievably wrong. He has, according to reports, forged notes amounting to over $i>0,00(). His aged mother, who was considered quite wealthy, has given up all her money and property to help him out, after he threatened to take his own life if she did not do so. Conn has been going the pace that kills for several years, but no one ever suspicioned the manner in which he was securing his funds. After hanging fire twenty-four hours or more the W. P. Rice estate east of this city, consisting of about 800 acres of the best land in the county was sold to A. R. Bell Saturday afternoon at three o’clock. The consideration was $14,525. and immediately after the sale an injunction was filed in court to prevent the confirmation of same. The matter will be disposed of Friday and much interest is being manifested by friends of both parties. Samuel Moser, the Illinois murderer. who at one time resided in this county has been found guilty and his punishment fixed at twenty-one years hard labor. Moser murdered his wife and three sons last May, claiming as his defense that the Amish church, of which he was a member had come between him and his family and had turned them against him. His attorneys pleaded insanity for their client and that fact probably caused the jury to be lienent enough to save him from the gallows. The trial last three weeks and the jury deliberated eleven hours. Moser seemed well pleased with the verdict and said “I am satisfied”. At an early hour last Thursday morning the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Shackley in Root township, together with all the contents was destroyed by fire. The house was owned bv Samuel Dutcher and was worth about S6OO, being insured for $.350 in the Continental. Mr. and Mrs. Shackley were marfied only a short time ago and had been keeping house but a few weeks. They were away from home being at the home of Mr. Shackley’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Shackley. where Sam was doing some work. The origin of the fire is a mystery as no one was about the house and no fires were lighted. There was no insurance on the contents. It was decided at a recent meeting of the Elkhart county bar association that every applicant for admission to thn bar shall first he examined as to his educational qualifications in at least the common school branches; that he shall pass a satisfactory examination as to mental and moral standing and as to his qualifications in not only statutory but the common law; that he shall be examined by a committee appointed by the court unless application is made for admission on a diploma from a reputable law school; that no member of the bar association shall reccommend any person for admission who does not desire to be admitted under proof of qualifications and a disregard for this portion of the rules shall Ire sufficient grounds for expulsion. Rueben Briner will sell at public sale at his residence nine miles southwest of Decatur, within two miles of Craigville, at ten o’clock a. m. on Wednesday, March 20, the following property: Two head of horses, four head of cattle, cow, fresh soon: heifer, fresh in fall, yearling, two years old; seventeen head of hogs, two brood sows, fifteen bead of shoats, lot of chickens, five turkeys, three ducks, two sets of double harness, saddle, Deering binder, Deering mower, riding breaking plow, breaking plow, sulky corn plow, two double shovel plows, spring and spike tooth harrows, sulyy hay rake, pair Ixib sleds, cart two-horse wagon, spring wagon, fanning mill, dinner hell, stone, hay in mow, shredded fodder, barrel cider vinegar potatoes, household and kitchen furniture and other articles. The usual terms of payment will be given Portland Cement. The farmers of Adams county, who are contemplating building barns this spring, could do no lietter thing than to make their floors and granaries of Portland Cement. Mr. G. W. Rupright of Prebit* township has already purchased .30 barrels of cement from me, and says that he thinks it the cheapest thing for him to use. I understand that several other barns are to lie built in the same neighborhood and those* who are building content plate using Portland Cement. It will last hundreds of years where if you use plank you will have to renew them every few years, and put up with the annoyance of ruts and mice. In the long run you will find cement by far the cheapest. I have at all times a large stock of cement on hand, and will be pleased to quote the lowest prices to anyone wishing to built. Your patronage is respectfully solicit ed. Respectfully, 52t4 J. D. H ale.

A BOY AND A RIFLE. And the Trick lhe Father Played to Make the YonnKater Careful. Exact statistics on the subject are lacking, but It is certain that the man who “didn't know it was loaded’’ kills and malms annually a grr.it many persons. The only safe rule with a gun is never under any circumstances to point it at anybody. One should always act on the itssumpiiuii that it is loaded. Unfortunately, though, an average human being learns only by experience, and where a gun is concerned that often entails an awful price. Bearing thia in mind a veteran sportsman of tills city adopted a unique method of impressing this lesson on his son. This is how he told the story: “I want my son to be a sportsman, so that when he gets to be as old as his father he may have as many pleasant memories to look back to. Therefore, on his sixteenth birthday I gave him a rifle. And Instead of reading him a long lecture on the necessity of handling the weapon carefully, I put up a job on him that would be far more effective. After he had spent a couple of hours fondling It and cleaning it and ex induing the mechanism, after the manner of healthy boys. I contrived unknown to him to slip a blank cartridge Into the breach. “Then 1 called him out into the yard anil holding my hat in front of me, asked him to show me bow be would take aim at it. There was an explosion, and he fell In a dead faint. You may think It mean of me, but I allowed him to think that only the badness of his alm or some Intervention of Providence saved me from death. The lesson he learned will last him through life, because a terrible fright accompanied it. Some day when he gets old enough to have a boy of his own, I shall tell him of the trick I played on him.”—New York Herald.

KISSES. | With little I shut your cy«: i J would not have them seeing and wise, Eor, could 1 choose, 1 would haw >ou lx Blind ever, as now, when you look on me! A wreath of kisses to crown your head, That the whole world’s crown should adorn instead, To keep your thought of me ever kind, Al now, when your darling eyes are blind. In each of your hands I shut a kiss. De ycu fee! hew soft and little it is* So hold it gently that it may live, Le»t your hands ask more than my bands can give. A kiss for an earring in each dear car, And now when I speak you can only hear The heart of my heart's heart laugh and cry, Not the foolish words it is stifled by. A kiss on your mouth, and it bears no charm * To bring you to good, to keep you from harm; It has no mission, yet let it be; The rest were for you, but this is for me! —Pall Mall Gazette. Allowed Plenty of Time. Speaking of the late William Travers leads me to remark that, bo far as I am personally aware, only one of the classic stuttering stories about him is actually true. I had the honor and happiness to reside at Newport for a year or so once, and at the time Mr. Travers was a summer resident there. He certainly stuttered a good deal, but he did not go around habitually discharging staccato witticisms at the world, as you might suppose he did from all the stories you hear. But the one story that I know about Is this one: Travers was at a garden party one afternoon when a young lady said to him, “What time is It, please, Mr. Travers?” Travers took out his watch, wabbled his mouth awhile, blinked and Anally said, “It’ll be s-s-s-s-six o’c-c-c-c-cloek by the time I can say It!" It really lacked five minutes of 6 when he began.—Boston Transcript. i Santa Clans Is unknown in Spain. The three Magi are supposed to be the children's gift briugers.
