THE BEAUTY. SPOT OF DECATUR Willard Steel Has Spent Years in Labor and Much Money on the Park. The only additions to beautiful Steele’s Park is the completion of the boulevard around it arrangemens for which were made when the grounds were laid out. The park is til? one beauty spot o£ the City, and for this no one deserves any thanks but Mr. Willard Steele, the owner. He has spent years of time, and thousands of dollars in money in making it clearly the most beautiful and ornamental addition to this city. Stangers simply marvel at the grandeur there contained, and with the boulevard complete, there would be no end to the beauty there to be beheld. Citizens of Decatur have appreciated Steele's Park, but they have signally failed to show that appreciation to the owner of the park, and to the man who has devoted the years and money to make it what it is. The time is here to do this, and it should be done substantially and by a popular subserption toward the building of this boulevard and the completion of the most beautiful spot in northern Indiana. Now is the time to show Mr. Steele that his efforts and labors are appreciated. ARE MAKING GOOD IN IOWA M. and Mrs. Fred LaDelle Mystify Fort Dodge Theatre Goers. A feature of this week’s performance at the Lyric, is the work of the LaDelles couple, magicians. The strangest and most mystifying acts ever seen in the city are put on by these two. A fold of silk cloth is shaken before the audience to show that there is nothing in it, then pigeons, chickens, a bouquet of flowers and other objects are pulled from among its folds to the utter astonishment of the audience. Artcles tossed in the air are made to disappear; animals. birds and all sorts of articles are brought from nowhere; folds of doth and large flags are pulled out of a small cylinder, a bottle, from the center of an apple and from other small spaces. Altogether their work is the most mystifying act of the kind ever produced here. —Fort Dodge (Iowa). Messenger.

CLOVER LEAF’S NEW TRACK Are Replacing Entire Line With Heavier Rails. The Clover Leaf is preparing to lay 100 miles of new seventy-five pound steel rails on the second and third divisions of the road this year. The first consignment of rails is being received this week. Nearly all the first division, extending from Toledo to Frankfort, was relaid with the same class of rails last year, and by the end of the present year the company will have practically a new track nearly the entire distance from Toledo to St. Louis. Last year the company put down about 257,000 new ties and this year it is planned to lay 160.000 more, together with about fifteen miles of new siding. Iu the matter of rolling stock the company is keeping pace with road-bed improvements, and the physical condition of the road is rapidly nearing the standard obtained by the best trunk lines. Improvements completed last year included a fine new freight house, team tracks and many other conveniences in connection with the St. Louis terminals. , Montpelier has opened a market for large and husky rats. Not exactly Montpelier, but a Montpelier saloon keeper has. At the present time he has 350 of the little rodents and every small boy in that town who owns a sky terrier is tearing up the barn floor looking for marketable rats. It is the intention of the saloonkeeper to pull off a rat killing contest and of course the first thing to do is to secure a supply of the little rodents. The date for the rat-killing contest is not set but if it is not pulled off pretty soon the market price for well fed rats will be forced down to the very lowest by an over production.
