The contract fur the electric appliancas to bg used in the Springfield & Fort Wayne Central power station was closed Monday with the Westinghouse company of Pittsburg and the machinery will be here in due time. Tomorrow bids will be received for the furnishing of the big enigne, boiler and other machinery necessary to furnish power. The contract for these essential parts of the machinery will be let tomorrow evening. The power house will be ready for business by the time the rails are down and the line will be one of the finest traction railways to be found anywhere in the country .That the company moans to branch ont and eventually became a great system is evidenced by the splendid work being done and the first class machinery being put in. It will be a perfectly equipped road when completed. At 11:30 Saturday the grand jury which has been in session since Monday, completed their work, reported to Judge Erwin and were discharged with the tha iks of the court. They returned nineteen indictments, the Largest bunch in several years and two of them are fcr felonies. One of these is of minor importance it is believed but the other is against prominent citizens and will prove ratherjsensational. The parties or charge cannot be revealed until after the arrests which will occur either this afternoon or Monday. The misdemeanor indictments are against various parties, scattered over the county. The report of the grand jury reads as follows: To Richard K. Erwin, Judge Adams Circuit Court: “We have been in session six days during which time we ha ve examined 125 winesses and return herewith nineteen indictments, two of which are for felonies and seventeen are for misdemeanors. We visited the po r farm while in session and inquired and looked into the management of same. We found thirty seven persons receiving care and attention from Jacob Graber, superintendent of the poor farm. We found that the inmates at the County farm are receiving good care and attention, they have a comfortable home, plenty to eat, warm clothing good beds, and everything is being done to fill their lives with sunshine and happiness in the time of their adversity. The stock on the farm is in good condition consisting of horses, hogs, cattle and sheep and the methods used in farming are only those that come from skilled hands. Mr. Grater's management of the farm and his care of the inmates meets our hearty approval. He is a good man, is in the right place, no tetter could be had and we recommend a continuation of Mr. Grater’s superintendency. We recommend that the board of c immissoniers make some essential and needful repairing on the heating plant in operation at the new infirmary building. A new smoke stack is needed at the heating plant, the pipes leading from the heating plant and running through the basemen of the entire building should te covered with asbestos. The large engine should be covered with a dome, which will prevent a great waste of heat. We recommend and request that the board of commissioners give this their attention as soon as possible. We visited the county jail and found evreything in good condition, prisoners confined there are receiving good care and attention. Everything is kept neat and clean, We recoin mend Mr. Butler as a very worthy official, well deserving of the trust bestowed upon him. We have done our work as expeditiously as we could. We report to the court that we have finished our business and now ask to be discharged Martin 1.. Smith, foreman.

The Plymouth Democrat makes this timely suggestion: “As cold rh ~ i-fa ' approaching, it is well to remind the patrons of the rxftil rouets of the necessity to purchase stamps instead of placing the money in the mail box. The carrier is driving all day and when he is ; compeled to remove his gloves in | cold weather to pick up a cold copper out of an iron box it makes it very disagreeable for him.’’ A con tract has teen closed te tween Ernest Sliekman the contractor of the P. Holthouse ditch, and D. M. Ritenour of Portland, whereby the later becomes the owner of the Slickman contract. As Mr. Rittenour is an old contractor with twenty-two years experience in this - (“special class of work is an honest ! capable man besides.those who will I have to pay for this improvement I will te glad to know that the work jis in the most competent hands. The : ' esti "ate for the ditch was somei thing over $8,300 and Mr .Slickman's bidder reduces this cost to $6,077 or a saving of $2300. Tne ditch is an important one and will drain 25,000 acres of land, and 430 people are assessed in its construction. Work will be begun by the new contractor and the job will be completed next ( year. The drain is fourteen miles | long and is a valuable addition to : th" large scope of land through which it travels. Mr. Slickman has always been an earnest worker for the ditch, and that caused him to figure the cost of its construction to such a low point. The Tri-State Nprmal College and Business University, of Augola, Ind., offers for a limited time a 7} months business course for -590, this pays board, furnished room in private family, tuition and use of machine.
