It is stated on reliable authority that when the county council holds its meeting in September, no appropriation will be made for cleaning ditches •and no tax levied for ths purpose as ■contemplated by the law now in effect. The present law is one that is very obnoxious to farmers over the country. They have opposed every attempt to enforce the law and while a good many ditches have been cleaned nnder its operation, yet every one has met with strong condemnation.— Bluffton Banner. This story is told of a cub reporter on his first assignment on a daily. He handed in the following: A man killed a dog belonging to another man, The son of the man whose dog was killed proceeded to whip the man who killed the dog of the man he was the son of. The man who was the son _of the man whose dog was killed was arrested on complaint of the man who was assaulted by the son of the man whose dog the man who was assaulted had killed. A young lady was being criticized for marrying a man up in years instead of a youth. “My observations have been,” said the young woman, “that it is better to be hitched up with an old horse that knows how to pull the load than with a colt that can’t do anything but prance and kick and want to run away. ’’ ’Squire Srifith officiated at a Sunday wedding, *t his home in the west part of the city, uniting Mist Agnes Odell and .Walter Sudduth in the holy bonds of wedlock. The young people are both of this city and expect to make their future home here.

Property appraisement of Indiana corporations for 1906 as made by the state board of tax commissioners shows an incease of approximately $16,000,000 over the valuation for 1905. Os this amount $12,000,000 is due to increased valuation of steam railroads. The remainder of the increase is distributed among electric lines, telephone and telegraph companies, express companies, pipe line companies and other smaller corporations. There are comparatively no reductions in the appraisement of 1905. , Auditor of State Bigler is sending to the prosecuting attorneys and undertakers in every county copies of an opinion rendered by Attorney General Miller that “ ‘graveyard’ insurance companies, organized for the purpose of paying funeral expenses and death benefits to the members are contrary to the insurance laws of the state, whether the assessment is before or after the death of a member. Prosecutions will be instituted against companies that refuse to quit business.” Probably 106,000 annual complimentary interstate railroad passes will be cancelled and not re-issued January 1, 1907. Instructions are now being sent out by presidents of all the principal systems that, by reason of the passage of the new commerce Jaw, free transportation after January 1, must be. limited to'the classes exempted in the rate measure. This cuts off the annual passes that have been issued to thousands of persons with personal, business and other connections that have been favored in the past. Mr. and Mrs. B. F.

Butler i£ Hoffman the cement sidewalk contractors have commenced work on the west side of Second street and expect to have the entire square completed in a week.

Cummins were in Niles, Ohio, yesterday and they saw the new cars on the frames, being built.

A doctor prescribed rest and change for a small girl, saying that her system was upset. After he had gone the little girl said, “I knew I was upset, mamma, because my foot’s asleep'; and things must be pretty bad when you go to sleep at the wrong end.” It is rumored that several of the employes at the City Plant are thinking seriously of tendering then- resignations to the City Council at the next meeting.

A Little Sound Adviee Will Help Many a Sufferer <n Fort Wayne. No woman can be healthy and well if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass of in the urine when the kidneys are well are retained in the ho ly when the kidneys are sick. Kidneys and bladder get inflamed and swollen,. crowding the delicate female organs nearby and sometimes displacing them. This is the true cause of many bear-ing-down pains, lameness, backache, .sideache, etc. Uric poisoniug also causes headache, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness And rheumatic pain. When suffering so, try Doan’s Kidney Pills, the remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get better, and health will return when the kidneys are well. Mrs. Martha Messinger, of 321 West Williams Street, Fort Wayne, Ind., sayp: '“I suffered with my back for nearly twenty years. There were dull heavy bearing flown pains in the hips extending to The lower part of the abdomen. I did everything for it but Anally lost all hope of ever being cur. ed. My attention was called to Doan’s Kidney Pills by seeing them advertised 1n the papers and recommended by Ft. Wayne people, so I made up my mind to get a box. I had not used the box before I felt so much improved that I was encouraged to continue with the treatment. I kept on using Doan’s Kidney Pills until I had taken three boxes. For this small expenditure, I was cured.”

Portland is to give q big lawn social Thursday evening for the benefit of the association, so that the national Sport may be continued for a short time longer in that city. With the salaries Portland is paying and the size crowds they are drawing, there is no wonder that the management had. to resort to giving lawn socials; The wreck train on the Erie, passed through our city about noon today headed for the east.
