J. P. Keifer, a well known fanner . of south of the city, was engaged last r fall by the Purdue experimental station of Lafayette, to plant five differ* i ent kinds of wheat, the test being one to discover the beet yield for this section. Mr. Keifer did the planting as ' required, and one of the kinds of wueat was planted on the Emile Wilder farm on route six, where it was threshed yesterday and proved a yield of thirty-five bushels to the acre. (Julius Heiderman will move into his new home within two weeks, and is now busy with plans for that important event. The new home is a two-story structure, with all the modern improvements and is one of the most convenient and best to look at houses you will see in this section where pretty homes abound. Seven cases of typhoid fever within a short distance is causing considerable uneasiness south of town. The patients while all very sick are being cared for in the best manner possible. Two children of Mrs. Peter Hess are quite ill, one of them. Miss Frances, being very low. The two children of Joseph Heiman are getting along as well as is usual at this period of the tedious fever. Mrs. Peter Heiman and Mrs. Tony Hackman are both quite sick, but it is believed they will soon be on the road to recovery. There is considerable Improvements being made along route six, the farmers being busy just now, many of them at least, in cleaning up their fairms and adding new barns and buildings at various places. I ■ ’ — O-— The special session of the city council called for Monday night failed to materialize. Mayor France was in his chair at the appointed hour, seven o'clock, and Councilmen Isaac Chron* 1 later and Jacob Martin "were oft hands, but as four are necessary tor a Quorum

and the other members have business affairs which detained them,'there was no meeting. An effort will be made to have aspeclal meeting this evening, but it could not be ascertained whether or not this could be, and it may be that the matter of regulating the dray ordinance will go over to the regular meeting next Tuesday evening. Attorney Beatty was present at the meeting last evening and had in his possession a petition signed by 140 leading business men and citizens asking that the ordinance be repealed and there is a general opinion prevailing that this may result. The draymen are interested and there was quite a number of them present last night. In the meantime it is likely that no further prosecutions will result until the matter is adjusted. Indianapolis, Sept 14;—Governor Marshall has taken up with the state board of pardons, as result of a recent incident the question of providing publicity for petitions received by the board, for pardons or parolee for persons convicted of the more serious crimes. The governor believes, he told a member of the board, that communities are in danger of being imposed upon by the methods which have prevailed in . dealing with these petitions. In the midsummer meeting of the board, a petition was received for the parole of Edward Taylor, of Switzerland county. The petition was acted on favorably, and a parole was recommended to the governor. The executive was in the act of signing a parole when the attention jof an attorney from Switzerland county, who was in the room, was called to the paper, with the result that the governor was apprised of the fact that Taylor had made threats, and had kept them up, to the effect that he would, if released, return to Switzerland county and kill a number of persons whom he held responsible for his conviction. On this showing, the governor recommitted the petition to the board, and it was considerd further in the meeting just closed. What recommendation the board saw fit to make in the recent session has not been made public. The governor’s plan, which has received favorable consideration from members of the board, is to give to the newspapers of the state the names of prisoners in whose behalf petitions have been received by the board in order that interested persons may know of pending hearings. The board has believed, in the past, that these petitions should not become public matter until they are acted upon, with the result that frequently cases have been heard, recommendations made, and the governor’s signature fixed to pardons or paroles before the public became aware of any steps taken toward liberating the prisoners concerned. As a further step in the movement to obtain greater publicity the governor will recommend to the next state legislature that the statute creating the pardon board' be amended so that the board shall be required to publish as a legal advertisement in a newspaper published in the county in which a serious crime has been permitted, notice whenever qny petition for the release of the perpetrator of the crime is received by the board. For two months or more Marshal Butler has had his weather eye out i for Ira Imler, who is a deserter from the United States navy. Monday he got his first trace of him, and the tip proved wise, the officer going to his boarding house in Fort Wayne and making the arrest. He has been in Fort Wayne for some little time, being a brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad. Marshal Butler found his man and made the arrest without any trouble, and he was apparently relieved also as he feared that every officer he saw was looking for him. He joined the navy at Plymouth a few years ago, and after enduring hardships of such a life, he became tired, and when the opportunity presented itself he deserted. He says now that he is glad to return and serve his time and thus free himself from the obligation taken at the time he enlisted. Government sleuths are always on one’s track and he would never have felt the freedom from arrest and return to the navy. Marshal Butler took him to Indianapolis that night and turned him over to the officers there. Three people were badly injured, one of them possibly fatally Saturday evening, when a motorcycle driven by Abe Boegley of Berne, collded with a buggy near the John Steiner farm in French township. Boegley is an architect, and has been superintending the construction of a new Reformed church at Vera Cruz. Saturday evening after completing his work for r the day he started to his home ft Berne on his motorcycle. He is accused of being a reckless driver. At 1 any rate he was tearing along the i road at a rapid pace, it is said, when ; he met a rig in which were Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kindel, who live aww , Linn Grove. Both the buggy and the i wheel tuned out In the same direc-

i tion and collided with such force that i both the cycle and the buggy were . badly wrecked. Mr. Boegley was , thrown several feet and one arm was badly bruised and sprained. Mr. Kindel was bruised and one ear was torn i nearly off. Mrs. Kindel was the most seriously injured, receiving it is feared, internal Injuries besides being : bruised to a painful extent. It is reported that the condition of Mrs. Kindel is quite serious. —o U. B. MINISTERS APPOINTED Rev. Imler Returned—Meet at South — , Bend Next Year.

Auburn people are now sure they will have a new court house. In fact, they are willing to wager dollars to doughnuts that they will get the fine, costly building. The county council i at its meeting Thursday forenoon passed to its third and final reading , the requisition of 3200 for the ex--1 penses of an inspection trip to be ; made by the county commissioners for the purpose of viewing court house buildings in other cities. The vote i stood six in favor of the proposition 1 to one against it. The clause asking for 1800 for plans and specifications for the new building had been previously withdrawn. An appropriation for this was not thought necessary at present It is thought’ however, that when the proper time arrives the |BOO will be forthcoming with the same ease the 3200 was sheled out. 1 "O *~ Wilhelm Reichert, of south of Monroe, one of the best known farmers of this county, died Monday at the home of his son Julius, after a. long Illness with Bright’s disease.

He was able to be about until a few days ago, when his illness took on an acute form and he slept away Monday noon. Mr. Reichert came to this county many years ago and was an industrious man, accumulating a a ■ good share of this world’s goods. He was very well known in this city. He is survived by one son Julius, four daughters, Mrs. Wetter of Allen county, Mrs. Berger and Mrs. Dilling of near here and Miss Louise, and two brothers, Charles Reichert of New York and Jacob Reichert of Virginia.

The deplorable accident took place within one hundred feet of the lad's home. Magner, with a brother. Charlie, and other companions was playing on the street corner when the ill-fated lad took hold of a heavy Cable which supports nn arc light at a street corner.

After a time the weigfit of the boy’s body polled him from the wire and he fell to the ground. By that time his father had reached his side and the boy was carried into his home. Death occurred before medical attention - reached him. An official of the electric light company stated that the boy had received the full current of 2,300’ volts. It is thought that, when the lad pulled on the cable it caused the heavy tension wire to become crossed. The dead child’s parents are distracted with grief over the affair and it was necessary for medical attention to be administered to them.
