They have every reason to think this, the evidences are there, the spirit is broadcast and the opportunity is afforded for rapid advancement in every department <ff" business. The greatest and most conclusive evidence of Monroe’s advancement is the fact that her business institutions are flourishing. The bank though in its infancy, represents deposits of large amounts of money, is well managed and is paying neat dividends to its stockholders. The* Monroe Grain, Hay & Milling company does a great business and its future success is assured by the support already given it.

Indicating the progressiveness of the Monroe merchants a new hitching rack has been extended in front of the Monroe stores and is conveniently arranged so that farmers will have no difficulty in tying their horses. A. B. Bailey has begun the construction of a new home in. Monroe. The structure will be of cement block and when completed will be handsome and convenient. The new home being erected by James Hendricks is rapidly nearing completion, and will soon be readv for occupancy. The branch of the Berne Lumber company, located at Monroe, and managed by W. S. Smith, is doing a good business. Many people in the vicinity of Monroe are building homes or improving their properties. — ! —o— Mrs. Eli Meyers returned last evening from Fort Wayne. Attorney Chauncey Lautzenhlzer, of Berne, transacted legal business In I our city today, and returned to his home this afternoon. The franchise for which the Bluffton, Geneva & Celina Traction company is asking has been re-filed in commissioners’ court, with changes which it is thought Will make it ac- ! ceptable to the board of commissioners. Instead of speaking of drainage at high crossings the franchise was made to read all crossings, and instead of speaking of certain work to be done in a workmanlike manner, it is added “and to the satisfaction of the board of commissioners.”— Bluffton Banner. The many Berne friends of Prof, and Mrs. Guy C. Latchaw of Findlay, Ohio, will be interested and pleased to learn that Mrs. Latchaw will graduate from the Findlay Conservatory of Music the 21st of next month. Her husband is professor of voice culture in said college. Tomorrow night Mrs. Latchaw will give a voice recital at the college. She has | about 20 selections on her program which she will sing. If the weather | permits, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Egly and son Henry and wife and E. D. Engeler and family will leave for Findlay an automobile tomorrow morning to hear the recital.—Berne WltneetX “■ |

>? — "" 1 11 Michael Maurer, aged 54 years, a bachelor living on a farm about onehalf mile east of Vera Cruz, met with an accident while blasting stumps with dynamite on his farm Thursday morning that will probably ’result in him being blind for the remainder of his lifetime. He was found at his home about 5 o’clock Thursday evening by Elmer Baumgartner, who was driving past the Maurer home. The man heard the man passing the house and being unable to reach the door he rapped on the window and called the attention of Baumgartner ,who at once summoned a physician. From the story told by the man it appears that Maurer owes his life to little less than a miracle. Maurer states that he went to a wood he was clearing early Thursday mbrning. He had worked for several hours and had placed one charge under a stump that did not go off. Thinking that the fuse had gone out Maurer stooped to the ground to remove the charge when the dynamite ignited blowing the charge and falling debris into his face. The greater part of the force is thought to have gone into his eyes, although his head and face are badly cut and bruised. The top of the head is also cut in several places. Pyhsiclans stated today that had the man been one foot higher from the ground death would f have been instantaneous. He knew nothing of what had transpired until about the middle of {the afternoon when he awoke from unconsciousness and found himself weakened and entirely blind. For some time he was unable to move, but finally got to his feet and started to walk, finding the barn on the place. ‘He stated that after he had found the barn he knew the exact direction of the house thinking he could go there and probably summon some one from the road which he did. He was brought to the city today for treatment for his eyes and the physician stated that there > was but slight hope of saving the sight of either. Besides blowing the debris into the eyes the iris of the one mem: ber was torn loose and the other injured so that a hemorrhage in both chambers of the eye. He will be given the best medical skill in order to save the sight, but from his condition now this is futile. —Bluffton Banner. o Attorneys Peterson & Moran filed a new case at the clerk’s office today, in which the plaintiff is John E. Taylor and the defendants are William H. Taylor, Jacob and Mary J. Drake, a petition for partition. —* £> - _ 1 In the cause of Ellen V. Louthan vs. Howard T. Louthan, divorce and alimony, an answer was filed to the plea in abatement which was filed by the defendant a few days ago. The Fort Wayne Electric Works vs. William G. Speiicer, suit on contract, the motion to compel the defendant to make his cross complaint more specific was sustained and the defendant was ordered to comply with same. Eliza Hartman et al vs. Clara D. Hoffman et al, partition suit, the final report was filed and taken under consideration.

There are but three weeks more o’ the April term and it Is not likely that they will be very busy with, y the exception of the Studabaker-Faylor case, which will probably come up one week from Monday. The four Allen county saloon cases appealed from the commissioners’ court, took up the greater part of today’s session, and the arguments were very interesting. Real estate transfers: Byron F. Ault to Mary M. Garlinger, 32 acres Wabash township, $2,500; John C. Moran, commissioner, to John T. Sprague, part lot 290, Decatur, $150; James H. Browning et al to John S.
