The idea of equipping trams with I telephones seems impossible, but it j is being done.

The entanglement at Berne caused by the disagreement between the citizens and the contractors for the brick street put in last summer is slowly unraveling, under the advisement of C. J. Lutz who is serving as attorney for the town of Berne. Several meetings have been held recently, at which time al) sorts of compromises and propositions, looking towards a settle ment have been offered, but all found to be objectionable by one side or the other. However, at a meeting held Friday afternoon for a similar purpose, and upon advice of Mr. Lutz, a committee was appointed to confer with the contractors, Thompson A Case, and ascertain the best possible means of a settlement, and it looks now as though some agreement will eventually be reached.

The famous old Teeple gas well was tested last Friday and the guage ran up to the 405 pound mark in less than an hour. The well was capped and the company still think it will some time pay them handsomely. Two foreign looking peddlers struck town Saturday with a wagon load of apples and proceeded to sell them at 51.65 per bushel to all who would purchase. They made a house to house canvas and it was a question how they could sell their goods at the price. It developed that their profits were in giving short measure, but thev dealt the dose out to a lady who noticed the graft and promptly noti fled Marshal Hart. The fakirs were taken before Mayor Beatty who told them in few words what they would have to do, “cough up the money they had overcharged or pay a fine’’ and they dug. They left town shortly afterwards. Mrs. Frank B. Porter died at her home on Mercer street about seven o’clock Tuesday evening after an illness of but four days duration.

Mrs. Porter's condition had been quite serious for several days, but it was thought she could live and her death was a sad surprise to her many friends. She was twenty four years old. a thorough Christian and lovable woman and her death just at this time is sad indeed. Her parents reside near Steele in Blue Creek township. The sympathy of everyone is with the heart broken husband. Short funeral services will be held from the home at eleven o’clock this morning and further services at the Steele M. E. church at two o’clock this afternoon. The Evening Banner, of Bluffton, of Monday's issue shoots one at some imaginary young fellow from here as follows: A young man from Decatur wrote over to his sweetheart in Bluff ton last week, asking permission to call on her Sunday evening. She answered, expressing pleasure at his coming, and directing him to ring up a certain number on his arrival in town. Now this Deeaturito was a for getful fellow, had lost his letter and triisl to recall the 'phone nutnlier with the following result: "Hello, give me 402, (pause). Hello, is this 102.’ Is Louise in?" “B rrr ■" (rung off). He tried again. “Give mo 502." "Hol lo! is this 502? Is Louise in?" He was told that no such lady lived there. Not to be thwarted he ventured another number, 102. “Hello! is Louise in?*' “No, old Kato is in." 1 don’t want old Kate, I want Louise." The answer came: “Well, there's no such horse in the barn.” And the j hostler at Tom Souder's barn turned to Tom with the question: "We never had a horse named Louise, did we Tom?”
