D. D. Coffee fell while coming' down street last evening and as a consequence is housed up with a broken leg. He slipped on the iced pavement in front of the Lucky building on South Second street and fell heavily. As is well known Dave is no light weight and he was unable to catch himself in any manner. He jumped up quickly and walked on down street but with each step the pain increased. He went to the office of Clark Brothers, who soon informed him that the smaller bone of the left leg was broken just alwve the ankle. It was also found that his ankle had been thrown out of place but had sprung back. The leg was bandaged and he was taken home. His physicians l>elieve he will be able to attend to business in a short time although he might have very serious trouble. The handsome new home of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Bryson was last night the scene of a very pleasant dinner party, in which twenty-five invited guests participated. The afternoon was devoted to a quilting bee, in which the ladies contested with all the skill at their command. They were attired in the dress of younger days, and really looked quite giddy. At six o’clock a six course dinner was served, which was complete and touched the spot just right. Mr. and Mrs. Bryson have an elegant home and are royal entertainers. Those present were J. C. Patterson and wife, W. H. Nachtrieb and wife, F. M. Schirmeyer and wife, C. A. Dugan and wife, H. A. Fristoe and wife, Harry Daniel and wife, W. F. Brittson and wife, Chai mer Schafer and wife, L. G. Eiling ham and wife. Mesdames A. <l. Smith and C. K. Bell all of this city, Mr. ami Mm K. A. Huffman of Manon, and Mrs. W. J. Vesey of Fort Wayne. Last Saturday’s Bulletin, Van Wert, told how happy the Hoop boys were while on their way to jail as follows: “Two more members of the Willshire gang, wanted for the theft of goods from the Banta store, were brought to town today, and are now confined in the countv jail with five of their fellow robliers. ’Andrew and Chauncy Roop whose homes are in Willshire, were captured in Decatur. They accepted their arrest as a matter of fact and when driven through town sang “Good-by My Old Kentucky Home. Andrew was arraigned liefore Squire Priddy, pleaded guilty and was hold to the court of Common Pleas in the sum of one thousand dollars. Chimney will probably be given an opportunity to plead during the afternoon. There are two members of the gang still at large. Both have decamped, one to Missouri and the other to Michigan.” They may change their tune somewhat before they “come marching home" and it’s to lie hoped they change their ways.

The Burt House barber shop has ' been remodelled this week and now presents a fine appearance in fact the shop is right up to date and is metropolitan in every respect. Mr. Townsend has enlarged and rearranged the > room and otherwise improved things i in general, and the genial proprietor > Nick Miller has likewise done his i part in making the place a credit to > our city. He has purchased entirely new furniture of the very latest patern the chairs being the hydraulic autof motives which are the most improved i in the market. He is also adding a i sterializing outfit and is thus able to s guarantee cleanliness. Within a short i time he will have a compressed air . machine and you can secure as good i service as is given in Chicago, New i York or any where else. The shop is i now a two chair parlor, and number two will be in charge of J. W. Meibers a barber of no mean ability and who ' can well take care of most any work * in the barber line. The shop is a credit - to our city and Nick deserves praise • for his efforts to keep in line with twentienth century ideas. i 2 Wasner and the Flayer. ' When Richard Wagner was conductor of the Royal Opera in Dresden, the 1 orchestra of that institution, though ' one of the best in Germany, was fir from being as good as it is now, a id I Wagner bud a good deal of trouble In making it follow bis Intentions. Some years later, when lie was living a>, an I exile in Zurich, he undertook to rain the local orchestra. After a few atj tempts he exclaimed. “Gentlemen, you have Just given me a great pleasure; you have played exactly as badly a,i the Dresden orchestra.” 1 The Zurich players laughed, and the ' Idea thill they might piny better than ’ the royal musicians in Dresden so tiled ' their zenl that they actuully succeeded 'n doing It. Polished Furniture. When a polished table Is stained by a ! hot disk, one restoring process is to use * first wood alcohol and then linseed or ’ olive oil. This treatment is excellent 1 for keeping any polished furniture In ! order and Is one of the few things for 1 which wood alcohol may be used. The ' latter Is cheaper than the pure and for | certain domestic uses Is quite as good. ', A Special Occasion.

See Agent. M. A. Hainin. 40-8 From a Hotel Landlord. Dear Sir: I had no faith in testimonials or advertised medicines until I took Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, my attention being called to it by a letter from some who had been cured of what he called chronic constipation, and 1 began taking it for my case. If any one who reads this has constipation or stomach trouble, I earnestly recommend Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. My own experience and complete cure prompts mo to promise that you will find it will do all it is claimed for it. Resp., L. O.
