The commissioners have been busy today settling with the school corporation of the city, their treasurer George W. Woodward having same , in charge for the board. Outside j ,of this and signing up the appro-' priations needed by the county during the coming year, nothing else was done. George Tester is now viewing the situation with one eye. George has been bothered with a growth on his eye, and yesterday Dr. White of Fort Wayne, and Dr. Keller of this city performed an operation on the affected part. It proved successful, and already George feels some better. In a few weeks the bandage may be removed and his sight will be as good ae ever.

Under the custom and usages of the Roman Catholic church, it will not be necessary for Rt. Rev. Bishop Alerding, as the head of the diocese of Fort Wayne, to officially announce the election of Pius X. as the successor of Leo XIII, as pope, and while the greatest interest was manifested at the episcopal residence in the action of the sacred college, there will be no promulgation of the result by the diocesan officers. Bishop Alerding is at his summer home on Sylvan lake, and Rev. Father Bathe, the chancellor, was the only member of the bishop’s official family at the episcopal residence when news of the selection of Cardinal Sarto as detailed by the press dispatches, was transmitted there Wednesday. To a reporter for the Sentinel Rev. Father Bathe stated that so far as he was aware, Bishop Ak'rding would not deem it necessary to issue an official notice of the election in as much as it could only confirm an announcement that had already been given the widest publicity. The chancellor said also that no special services in , honor of the coronation were in contemplation. Fort Wayne Sentinel.

The English name for Sarto, Pope Pius X, is Joseph Tailor. He is a great preacher and learned man, whose future means much to the civilized world. Mrs. C. J. Lutz and Miss Nellie Schrock entertained Tues, [eve“’g at the home of Miss Schrock. The event was a slumber and breakfast party and the guests numbered Misses Gusta Cramer, Emma Jackson. Catharine Christen, Harriet Wertzberger, Laura Albaur and Jean Lutz. They enjoyed themselves as only girls can, various games and - ’ fording abundant pleasure for the evening. Refreshments were served and at —, well sometime soon, they retired and slept the sleep of the just. Rising at five (just think of it) the party went to the home of Mrs C. J. Lutz, where a six o’clock waffle breakfast was served and. and, and, well we weren’t there but it made us hungry to hear them talk about it. It was entirely informal and from all reports it was thoroughly enjoyable. Cal Myers told Decatur reporters Monday of a most thrilling adventure in a wreck, on the South western railway in which three people were killed. It must have been a pipe dream though his face and clothes show he was in some kind of a mixup. In speaking of the report the Fort Wayne Sentinel says: Decatur newspapers Monday evening printed hairraising accounts of an alleged accident upon the Fort Wayne and Southwestern interurban line, which appear to have been manufactured out of a tolerably whole area of fabric. The brilliant-hued rumor was submitted this morning to Auditor Louis McFerran, of tl|e ( Southwestern line, and after that I official had recovered his breath he I declared that the rumor was wholly . untrue: that there had been no trouble of any sort upon the interurban, much less an accident in which people were killed. “It has been a year since a car upon the Southwestern struck even a cow,” said Mr. McFerran “let alone , injuring human beings, and I am totally unable to understand how ' such a rumor gained currency.”
