The barn on the James Rice farm in Kirkland township was burned to the ground Thursday night and the loss is a heavy one as Mr. Rice did not have a dollar’s insurance. The contents of the barn which were also destroyed included four head of horses, a reaper, binder, buggy, hay and grain and the sum lost will aggregate $1,500. W. H. Fnstoe’s condition remains about the same and while he is quite ill he has so far succeeded in keeping above hoard in good shape. His appetite is good and he is still able to sit up during most of the day. Mr. Fristoe is past the seventy-six mark and has hundreds of friends over the county who hope to see him entirely well soon. A missionary from Persia has been in our city for several days and is assisting the Pentaeosters in their meetings. Services are held nightly on the vacant lot, corner of Monroe and Eleventh streets. The meetings must be interesting as they are con tinned until long after midnight and some of the citizens in that neighborhood are complaining of loosing their sleep. There are boys, almost young men who deem it smart when going along the streets to utter oaths loud enough that all those within some distance may hear it. They seem to think that their hearers will then consider them of some importance but how sadly mistaken they are for their hearers’ characterize them for just what they are -foolish lads, lacking in common sense and decency. The law regarding the transmission of money to Canada and Cuba has been changed so that domestic money order blanks, the same as are used to transmit money in the United states, will be used instead of the international, formerly in vogue. Canada and the United States are constantly coming into more desirable co-opera tion in the matter of mail service, of which the above improvement is an other important proof. The newspaper man is sometimes inclined to put on a long face and look as if he hadn’t a friend simply because some person has found fault with something they saw in the paper. But after all there is no occasion for worrying over such matters. ’Tis the common lot of man in business. The merchant does not please all his customers; the postmaster, too, is kicked and cussed for alleged mistakes, the railroad agent is frequently backed up in the corner by some old woman and given to understand this and that and numerous other things; the butcher is forever reminded of his tough beef that is half bone, and even the preacher finds it hard work to please the membership and the congregation with his best sermon. Aud thus the weary world wags on.

At the regular meeting of the tribe of Ben Hur Thursday evening officers for the ensuing year were installed as follows: E. M. Peoples, past chief: Harvey Harruff, chief; James L. Gav, scribe; S. G. Peoples, keeper; Earl Butler,captain; Benjamin Ault, guide; Mrs. Shackley, judge; Mrs. Hay, teacher; J. C. Sutton, Ben Hur; Phillip Miels, rabbi; Mrs. Dailey, Mother Hur.

Boknecht, Barney Meyer and C. A. Lamar. The crickets have agpin made their appearance in the city in countless numbers. They will ’be found the thickest about the street lights and stores that keep their lights burning all night. They were very thick last night and they are also making their appearance in the homes of the city. \\ here they come from no one knows, but seem to settle over the city in showers. They are harmless, but very annoying. Newspaper reports state that the pest has appeared all over central Indiana and in a number of places streets and sidewalks become black with them after night. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., was once immensely surprised. “Through long suffering from dyspepsia,” he writes, my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, but" she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can eat anything. It’s a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver.” For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach and liver troubles it's a positive guaranteed cure. Only 50c at Page Blackburn’s. a A car load of maniacs, soldier boys, who enlisted out of patriotism to fight for their country, only to lose their reason in the far away Philippines, passed through this city Tuesday afternoon, says the Hartford City News. There were eighteen of the demented soldiers, all of whom were more or less violent. It was all that five stalwart guards and an officer could do to keep them under control. They had broken everything they could get hold of and the guards had hard work keeping them from breaking each other's heads. They were on their way to the national hospital at Washington. A north Missouri editor is responsible for this sublime outburst: “Our heart swells up with gratitude and our voice is choked with emotion, like a muley cow with a turnip in her throat. The world after all is a happy one, and us we gaze from the window of our editorial monastery at the sunkissed landscape, sweet visions of milk and honey, humming birds and molassas, brick cheese and ambrosial nectar rise up before our astonished vision like a calf before a circus prosession. Last Saturday one of our subscribers came in and paid in cold cash and cold blood, three years’ arrearages and two years in advanced.” Good Advice.—The most miserable beings in the world are those suffering from dyspepsia and liver complaint. More than seventy-five per cent, of the people of the United States are afflicted with these two diseases and their effects, such as sour stomach, sick headache, habitual costiveness, palpation of the heart, heart-burn, waterbrash, gnawing and burning pains at the pit of the stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue and disagreeable taste in the mouth, coming up of food aftereating, low spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and get a bottle of August Flower for 75 cents.

The farmers east of Alexandria! are much frightened over the finding of a large quantity of nitroglycerine stored in the fence corner a short distance from Barney Maynard’s house. It seemes the nitroglycerine companies have adopted this plan of keeping their explosive since the recent decision of the superior court enjoining them from storing it in their magazine north ofjthe city. The farmers are going to prosecute the Empire company. The People’s Restaurant was sold last Friday to B. J. Terveer who is acting as trustee for several parties who are interested in the concern and will very probably dispose of the property within a few days as several are after the bargain. The stand is one of the best in the city and will bloom forth a winner before iong. Mr. Helm will remain here and may go into business again. Mr. Sawyer left Monday for Lima, Ohio, where he will look after a good position that has been offered him. Stomped Them. She stamped her feet in pretty rage. “Ha, ha!” sneered the heavy villain.

The nineteenth century also beheld a great cr number of large and brilliant comets than did Its predecessor. The finest of these were the comets of 1811, 1843 1858, 1881 and 1882. In the year 180( only one periodical comet was known Halley’s. Now many are known, of which at least 17 have been seen al more than one return to perihelion.

Pra.ant Co.tume. In Ireland. A certain number of peasants In the wilder and remoter districts of Ireland still wear something like a national costume. About Lough Mask plenty of the lasses are to be seen In picturesque red petticoats that artists loved to bring Into their sketches of Irish life. A sprinkling of the old high hats may be seen. The older fishermen wear them, but the younger school shun such antiquated beadgear, as the English peasant of today does the smock frock. —London Express. Water.
