Marshal Cord u a arrested Joe Ostemeyer bartender for Joe Tonnellier Saturdav on a charge of selling liquor to a person after haring an order not to do so.

The old Foster farm in St. Mary's township has been sold to John H. Green of Noble county. Indiana, the considenition being <12,00.’. Tne farm is one of the best in the county and [is located near the Willshire oil field being but a tnlie from the famous Culley well. There are Ist acres in the tract making a little over sixty five dollars per acres. Jay county farmers it is learned were given a chance invest in the Dewey feed cooker which ; -t an Aoams county farmer nine hundred dollars of hi- money and learned’him a few things that will be of use to him in the future. The cooker salesman was in This city for several days and drove over different parts of the county with his reported ‘mortgage lifter" So far as is known no Jay county farmer took hold of his bait. Farmers with green whiskers are not so plentiful in Jay county as they were a few years ago and it is seldom that one ever falls prey any more to an oily tongued hornswcgaler. Since John Franks, the Noble townnship farmer gave up three thousand dollars to a pair of good looking[crooks three years ago Jay county citizens usually require recommendations from strangers. —Portland Reivew. The musical entertainment given last evening by the Arion Quartett for the benefit of the Queen E-ther societv of the Methodist church was one of the best ofjit- kind that haever been given in this city and revealed to the muiscal talent the 1 fact that thisjquartete is hard to j beat and on? can rival with anv like organization in the state The class of £ music rendered was from the best composers and was music that is today considered by expert musician-a- the best and the quartett was applauded at the rendition of each selection. A particular feature of the program that will bear especial mention wa- the . reading given by Rev. H. E. Pontius who proved his ability and he was liberally applauded for his excellent work. A large crowd was in attendance and each and every one are loud in their prai-e of the entertainment. Clark W. Dinius vs Chicago AErie railway company complaint for damages was filed in circuit court by Spencer Ar BranyanDinius asks damages in the sum of >15,000 for the dislocation of a hip and the amputation of a foot at the ankle while employed as brakeman by this railroad March 4, 1&04 while the train was switching in the yards at Ohio City Allen county. Ohio. The complaint sets forth that on that date plaintiff was assisting in switching. A brake was out of repair on one car and in making a coupling he was obliged to cross the track. In doing so his foot struck a crosstie and he fell. The track was in such a con- j dition, being hollow between the rails he was unable to roil away from the approaching train. Consequently he was run over, his left hip was dislocated and hi- right foot was amputated at the ankle — .Huntington News Democrat.

Low Rates for Homeseekers and Colonists Twice a Month. Many farmers in the Northern and Eastern states are selling their high priced landsand locating in the Southj west—in Missouri, Arkansas. Louisi- ' ana and Texas. Manv who have been unable to own their homes in the older , country are buying land at the low i prices prevailing in the new country—ss, $lO. sls per acre and up. These lands are mostly cut-over timber lands, some of them possessing a deep rich soil producing corn, wheat, oats, clover, cotton, fruit and vegetables. Well improved farms are scattered throughout this country. Many places with small clearings and some improvements can be bought very cheap. Our descriptive literature gives a fairly good idea of this country. It tells about the soil, crops, climate, people, schools, churches, water and health. It contains maps showing locations of counties, towns, railways and stleams, and gives names and addresses of real estate dealers in the towns. Reduced rates for homeseekers and colonists are in effect first and third Tuesdays of each month, byway of St. Louis. Cairo or Memphis and" the Cotton Belt Route. Let us send you our literature and quote you rates. Address E. W. Laßeaume, Gen. Pass, and Ticket Agent, Cotton Belt Route, St. Louis, Mo.
