In spite of the fact that Sunday was chronicled on the calendar as the 15th of May, people shivered ■while walking about and tires burned in almost every home. Some people who had sharp eyes say that two light snow flurries were made matters of history in the morning, but there are others who disputed the story. The thermometer ranged low all day long, its highest mark being 50 degrees, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. At midnight the lowest temperature 37 degrees, was registered. Cars from the north on the G. R. & I. yesterday came in with snow clinging to the sides away from the san far the present at least, dispelling all desire for a trip to Michigan. Today the condition looks more favorable for a burst of spring. AV hen the daily toil is over and the sun is going down, you're □ready then to read the news that's •going on in town. If you miss the weekly paper, here's a bint will make you smile, you may find it on your daughter for the bustle's back in style. When you wash your face in soapsuds and you’re looking for the towel, while the soap is getting in your eyes, you start to swear and howl; wipe your face upon your sleeve, and remember all the while that the towel's hard to locate since the bustle s back in style. There's no good in getting angry audit does no good to swear; if your Sunday shirt is missing, and you’ve nothing else to # wear, try your hardest to look pleasant, do ya ar best to wear a smile, and remember when you miss things, that tie bustle’s back in style. *®ne of the hobos who was arrested a few days ago for public intoxication and whom Marshall Cordua "has been exercising upon Second Street by allowing the boy to push ■she broom took it upon himself to spilt Ins job. The men were all busily .engaged in front of the Nickle Plate saloon and when Marshal Cordua's back was turned this fellow dropped his broom and hastily •ran through the saloon to First ssreet then going north. A bystander raised the alarm and both •Cordua. and Night Policeman Fish>er went in pursuit. The fellow ran Xo the stone quarries north of town, there crossed the river and came in -a. round about way to Steele's Park. Fisher in the meantime had secured •.* bicycle and leisurely rode across to the Park and espiedjhis man who ,s»ave himself up- He was immediAtely brought back to town and a.gain placed to work with the balance of the gang. This man's time was up today but Marshal Cordua says he will see if be cannot get Trim to stay thirty days longer. He is also wanted as a witness in the Hower robbery case.

Mayor Coffee held a little court Monday and dolled out a little justice to one John Johnson an employee on the interurban for public intoixcation. He wSs arrested Saturday evening by Night Policeman Fisher while trying to use all the sidewalk in his navigation, he was allowed to rest until this morning with Sheriff Butler when he was brought up to answer the above charge. He made a beautiful plea in his own behalf which was soon forgotten when Mayor Coffee said one dollar and cost, not having the readv cash he will board it out w ith Sheriff Butler. He was busily engaged that morning with the rest of the tramps in cleaning up second street. That the oil business is uncertain is exemplified in the case of Jim McCormick, former Geneva oil magnate. McCormick was at one time connected with James H. Hardison and other wealthy operators at Geneva, and as himself both wealthy and successful. McCormick's company held the cream of the oil territory in the Adams and Wells county fields but he sold his interests for a good price and went to Hartford city. A short time ago MCormick was the president of a wealthy oil company in Hartford City and E. H. Sheets, a drilling contractor, did work for him. Now E. H. Sheets has $60,000 in a western bank, is at the head of an extensive oil company and | James McCormick is leasing oil; territory for him at so much a day. Sheets went out west early in the excitement over oil. He kept his eyes open and watched his chance. In a short time he made a pile. McCormick stayed in Indiana and lost out. His leases here proved unwise investments and he finally sold out to another company and pulled out for the west. Strangely enough the company that succeeded McCormick began making money right away.

The Bloomer Girls left Steele’s Park Sunday afternoon a sadder but wiser bunch, and forced to admit that they were no match for the foxy Rosenthals, and for the first time this season they were presented with a nice string of goose eggs, but at that stages they put up a nice game; tho' had the Rosenthals tried themselves there is notelling what the score would have been. A large crowd was present that did not enjoy the one-sided contest, but at times applauded each and every good play. There were only three good players among the girls and they were the catcher, pitcher, and short stop and these girls were men, who, in fact, played the whole game for the Bloomers. France pitched a good game for the Rosenthals allowing only four hits, these being wildly scattered. they resulting in naught. The game was merely a practise ‘’run” for the Rosenthals and put them in good condition for next Sunday when they play the Ft Wayne Blues. 123456 7 8 9 R H E Bloomers 000000000 0 4 7 Rosthls 016300 2 2x 14 13 3
