Hower, the shower being arranged as a sur- ; prise. Tne event was chosen for | Thursday evening when it was known that her affianced, Mr. Hejrbera Lachot, would be present, thus including him in the good time. The girls had met in the city early in the evening and packing in a clothes basket their . gifts of everything useful for the kitchen of the new home wended their way to the Hower home, where the gifts were presented to the honored one, who wagmost compeltely sur- ... . .

prised, and a merry time was spent in watching the packages unwrapped and commented upon. The guests’ took with them their suppers which Were spread picnic fashion, the menu including sandwiches, potato salad, pickles, olives, radishes, potato chips, fruit salad, ice cream and cake. The party included Miss Bess Baumgartner of Linn Grove; Ruby Miller, Electa Glancy, Pearl Purdy, Matilda Sellemeyer, Goldie Gay, Lilah Lachot, Ruth Ernst and Herbert Lachot. —— —o-— —— — The entire force at the postofike was busy until 10:30 o’clock Thursday night with their annual clean-up and scrub-out, and everything today is spick-and-span and shining.

Arthur Ford, a young ot 0. Deva, met with a sad death Wednesday, while at his work on an oil well on the Wes Watson farm, five miles southwest of Geneva. Mr. Ford had been a resident of Geneva only about a month, coming from the Oklahoma oil fields, where he had been employed for some time. The accident happened about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and In a few minutes the news of his sad death was known over the town. The young man met death by bejpg struck on the right side of the neck by a cluch lever which had worked loose from the engine, which broke his neck. A Mr. Juday, who was working with him, heard the lever strike him, and upon looking up saw him fall to the ground. He was rendered unconscious by the blow, from Which he never rallied, and in a few minutes life was extinct. The only mark was a bruised place on the side of the neck, where the lever had struck the unfortunate man. Abe Shoemaker, father-in-law of Mr. Ford, was notified at once of the sad affair, who in turn notified the wife of the unfortunate victim, and hurried to the scene of the accident. Dr. Graham was summoned and made an examinaticjn, but Mr. Ford was beyond all medical aid. Mr. and Mrs. Ford had been married about a year, the wife being Miss Cecil Shoemaker, also of Geneva. Mr. Ford was about tweiity-five years of age and was well liked by all who knew him. The sad occurrence brings heavy grief to the friends and relatives of the deceased and the sheerest sympathy is extended in behalf of Mrs. Ford. The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 1 o’clock at the United Brethren church, with the Rev. Waldo, pastor of the church, in , charge. Interment will be made at the West Lawn cemetery. -o - ...-■— Mrs. Henry Mills a|nd son of LaGrange, returned to their home Thursday after a pleasant visit here with her daughter, Mrs. William Baker. Paul Callihan, who has been very sick at his home ror some time, was today reported as being some better. Mrs. Frank Chrisman, who several days ago underwent an operation at her home, is in a very serious condition. Complication of diseases has developed, making her recovery much more doubtful. George PontiUs, who has bee|n confined to his home for some time, is still lying at the point of death and his demise is expected at any time. 1 A number of tlje ladies of the Pythian Sisters lodge, No. 329, of Geneva, I left today for Portland, where they j will represent the Geneva lodge in I the third annual convention of the I sixth district, which is being held at that city today.

MAY SAVE GRAPE CROP. Although the embryo grape crop of northern Indiana is now a sorry sight, apparently permanently blasted by the belated frosts, possessors of arbors and vineyards need not despair if a remedy suggested yesterday by an old fruit grower will prove true. During his many years as a grape grower he has frequently had his vines frozen even worse than they have been during the past week, but by the appliance of the cdurse of treatment in question he has always ben .able tp save his crop. The green tendrils or sprouts fro’m the vines are the portions affected by the cold and are what would have grown to be the “bunehes” of grapes. Only the end of this sprout is frozen and killed and if removed immediatjly will again grow out as healthy and sterile as before. Care must be taken to leave a small part of the sprout next to the vine. This method, the fruit man said, is not genera’ ly known, but it is Infallible and if exercised by northern Indiana growers the- grape crop will be normal this year. DR. HURTY DENIES CHARGE. A statement made off-hand by Dr. J. N. Hurty at Huntington Wednesday has attracted considerable attention in the northern part of the state; and the secretary of the state board of of health is alleged to be an advocate of destroying with dynamite human bodies after death, thus solving the problem of doing away with contag-ion-infected matter. } Dr. Hurty while at a dinner given at Huntington was discussing the tremendous power of dynamite and the intense heat it creates and was telling a story of a wagon load of dynamite exploding in Virginia a few months ago and leaving not a shred of flesh or horse. He added: “That beats cremation.” That it was just a chance thought that flashed into his mind and that he has given the matter no serious consideration previous or since that time is the statement of the state health commissioner. However, a Hqntington reporter drew upon his imagination and ingeniously outlined ■ all details of a “disappearance” fun- ■ eral, and declared mat Dr. Hurty was • an advocate of the method. — -■o , Frightened nearly out of his dog wits, but with not a hair of him hurt, • little Keno, the pet of the Hensley i household, arrived home Wednesday t night at 8 o’clock just as suddenly and mysteriously as he disappeared Sunday night at 9:15, and Mr. Hensley • will take no further action in prose- • cuting his abductors. The dog was ’ returned, however, just in the nick of 1 time, as Mr. Hensley and Sheriff Mey--1 ers had made preparations WednesI day afternoon to go today for him. The little dog had evidently been ■ dropped at the back of the house, just ■ where he had been picked up, and had then run around to the front of ■ the store, and in at the open door. He appeared to be badly frightened, Mr. Hensley at once got his hat and going to the back of the store found a man hitching his horse there. He said he was from the north part of the county, and upon being, questioned by Mr. Hensley as to whether he had seen anybody leave a dog there a few minutes before, stated that he had just seen a man running down the alley; that he believed he knew who he was and would run down after him. He ran after the man but did not return to the Hensley store to tell of his success —and it is probable that he is still running. ' -O' "*— Close observers in the vicinity of the interurban office may wonder why it is that horses, however quiet and gentle they may be, always seem to become more frisky and fractious when passing along the west side of the track, and just in a line due east from the pole in front of the interurban office. If they are still closer observers, they will notice that the ractious periods occur only during wet weather, when the brick street is full of moisture. Persons who have investigated say that this is due to the electricity which escapes from the wire which runs from the trolley down the pole and into the ground, and which in wet weather is easily conducted to the surrounding ground. The iron hoofs of the horses passing furnish a good medium for the transferrence to them and the shocks of electricity they receive in passing is what causes the prancing. The small newsboys have discovered the secret and much is their delight in venturing forth within the compass of the electricity. A Cure For mpm. Mr. Frank P. Oay, Paris, Ky., says: “Last year I raised hundreds of chickens free from gapes by glyins them Bourbon Poaltry Cure in their drinking water.

Dailey, Jay county, suit on a mortgage and to quiet the title of Tucker therein, has been sent to the Adams circuit court on change of venue. The case was tried once before, 'a finding for Tucker resulting. The nature of the case entitled Dailey to a new trial as of right on demand and he took advantage of the privilege, later moving for a change of venue from' the county. r t -A great many of the state cases have been set for trial for next Monday and the jury for the April term will report at that time. This will be the third week of court, the jury having been summoned a week later than usual on account of the democratic convention at Indianapolis this week. Treasurer Charles Yager reports that from $12,000 to $13,000 of tne spring installment of taxes was paid Wednesday, which is quite a good record. But when one takes into* consideration the fact that there is still outstanding about $75,000 of the amount due, and that there are only three more days in which to pay, without the penalty, it means that a few must be getting busy. Monday is the last day of grace. After that the penalty will be added. Mr. Yager has added an extra number to his office force and they are prepared to take care of all who come. Real estate transfers: David Stoler to Henry Smith, lots 225, 224, Decatur, $900; Dye Ferguson to Mlles N. Hamerick, $250; James B. Myers to Joseph M. Townsend, 80 acres, Wabash tp., $5600; George T. Byerly et al to Trustees of Church of the Brothers, 1 acre, Kirkland tp., $25. ■ o ■ DELL LOCKE A DEMOCRAT* A dispatch from Indianapolis says: “When the Wells county delegation pulled into Indianapolis, it brought a complete surprise to the capital city, in the presence of Del Locke of Bluffton, who, until this spring had been a life-long, staunch republican. Mr. Locke accompanied the Wells county delegation, went into caucus with them, and came out a full-fledged democrat, declaring himself an advocate of the principles of democracy and an ardent supporter of the cause. Mr. Locke is proprietor of the Bliss hotel at Bluffton and was formerly proprietor of the Burt house at Decatur. What has driven Mr. Locke from the ranks of the g. o. p. is driving many more to the democrat ic fold, and victory for the state ticket this fall is sure." ? — —Ti B "" BABY GIRL. Will Colchin Friday received a letter from his brother, Tony, who at present is making his home at Hinton, Oklahoma, that a big baby girl had made its appearance at their home on last Wednesday, and that their was great rejoicing in his home. ■
