Residents along the Erie railroad were startled Wednesday afternoon just as the 3:23 eastbound passenger train came In, to hear a series of the most blood-curdling war whoops of a band of Indiana—no make-believers but the real-for-sure article —such as oncte may have roamed along the for a show troupe. They were dresshad one car all to themselves and there were about thirty In the bunch —braves, squaws and their papooses.. The agent at the Erie depot tried to learn from the conductor who they were and whither they were bound, but that official knew nothing more .of them than that they had come from west of Chicago—undoubtedly from an Indian reservation and were bound for Hamburg, Germany. They have been in all probability secured so ra show troupe. They were dressed In the regulation Indian outfit — war-paint, buckskins, feathers, and all, but were quite clean, refined and intellectual looking.- As the train stopped in this city they gave an exhibition in the car, dancing, whooping and otherwise 'acting as real Indians —much to the Interest of the large crowd that thronged about them. ———o GEORGE AUMILLER IN TROUBLE. Says His Wife It Too Sweet on a Masher at Huntington. George Aulmiller, a farmer near Berne, according to the Huntington Morning Times, made a trip to that city for the purpose of investigating to learn who has been writing to his wife, or at least he charges that she has been writing to an unknown “Will” at Huntington. He engaged Attorney Branyon at Huntington and according tcrthe Times, learned of at least two times that “Will” and his wife had been together In other clt- , les. Other evidence was returned, it is said, and Aulmiller returned to Decatur with the avowal of filing a divorce suit. He is fifty-two and owns a farm near Berne and another in Michigan. His wife is only twenty years of age. WERE MARRIED JANUARY 6TH Announce 0. D. Arnold and Bride, Formerly Miss Letta Ford. Following the rumored report of the wedding of Orville D. Arnold and Miss Letta Ford of Geneva the Portland Commercial Review says: “Married January 6th in Kalamazoo, Mich., the announcement of her wedding to Orville D. Arnold, of near this city, was made Tuesday afternoon by Miss Letta Ford of near Geneva. The ceremony was performed by Father Thomas O’Brien of the Kalamazoo Catholic church, under a special dispensation. Following the ceremony the young people returned to their homes. It was intended to keep the wedding a secret for a time but the premature publication of common gosi sip concerning the , affair, in a local publication Monday evening caused the announcement by the bride. The young couple expect, in a short time, to furnish a home in this city.” «■ — o 1 Mrs. Dr. Homer E. Sowers of this city is a newly recognized literary Wednesday receiving announcement of the acceptance of a little love story entitled, “The Other Girl,” by the Currier Publishing company of Chicago, for their “Woman’s World,” enclosing with the acceptance a very substantial check for the story. This is the first attempt of Mrs. Sowers to publish any of her writings and the ready acceptance is Indeed most encouraging. She has long had a desire for literary work, but found very little time until last summer when she tried the writing of this story. She sent it to the Woman’s World in the fall and hearing nothing from it, thought jt must have fallen on barren ground, until she received the notice yesterday. The story has not yet been published but will probably come out in the April number, though the exact number in which it would appear has not been, announced. Her many friends here will eagerly await its appearance. o ■■ ' ' ENJOY LIFE IN FLORIDA. J. S. Bowers and F. M. Schlrmeyer of the Bowers Realty company write D. F.

THE PASSING OF “8A88Y.” . “Sassy,” the little pug dog, that for eight or ten years has been the con-; stant companion of the Q. Rademaker children, is no more, and there is much sadness in that household, especially among the younger members. The dog had been accidentally shot in the eye by an air gun,-and the wound i proved so painful that yesterday he was killed by chloroform to relieve the suffering. So faithful a friend of the children was he that not a word from a stranger could be said to the children without bringing a growl from the pug nearby, though to the children and those he knew, he was “kindness personified.” <>.. i.:.- —....

We require them to be so to you. They have no time to converse with you. “Courtesy, like virtue, is its own reward, but pays extra dividends in connection with telephone service. Try it. “Be reasonable, you always are—yes, of course —but what we mean is this, It is unfortunate for us that a telephone subscriber sees nothing when getting service, but himself, and one telephone instrument. He doesn’t see the other hundreds of subscribers and he gets no idea of the work and the violent uncertain changes in the number of calls given us at various hours of the day. “Don’t ask or expect the operator to ring an unreasonable number of times for your party. And don’t ask or expect her to devote her entire time to you. Remember, she is subject to the call of several hundreds of other subscribers who are entitled to as much attention as yourself. "We have rushes in business just as the street cars, the stores, and postoffices do. "Yet a man who will patiently wait in line two or three minutes to be allowed to deposit his money in some one’s bank will become ‘disgusted with such service’ if he has to wait in line fifteen seconds to get an o> erator to connect him with is residence that he may inform them that ‘he will be a little late to dinner.’ “It’s a fact and we think the reason is indicated above. It’s- human nature, perhaps, but human nature can be improved if one tries, and all we ask is that you try, Ask yourself these questions: “Does any other company or store in town wait on me so uniformly, promptly, or cause me so little direct loss of time, as does the telephone company? "Can I get the service of a clerk, a sales girl, a cashier, or of any one else nearly so quickly, whenever I wint them as I can those of an operator?” C. J.
