Fort Wayne, and therefore the following item from an exchange, telling of the enlarging of this institution, will be of much interest here: "The first definite announcement of the plans for the erection of an extensive addition to St. Joseph’s hospital was made last night, when the Sisters of the Order of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ stated that plans are in preparation for a bazaar to be given about the middle of September, the proceeds to be devoted to a fund to pay for the construction of the newbuilding. "That the structure planned will cost at least |130,000, was the statement made by the sisters. It is not expected that the bazaar will result in raising the amount of money, and the sisters have announced that contributions from the public are solicited and will be gratefully received. “Detailed plans in connection with the bazaar will.be announced later, but in the meantime the sisters will ontinue their efforts toward the erec-

>n of the new building. "The addition to the present hospitI will occupy the half block directly/ outh of the present building and ex- ! ending from Broadway to Van Buren , treet. Os this property the sisters, ave acquired all but the Hoffman omesttsd. "The new building as planned will e strictly a tireproof structure, with, II the modern adjuncts designed for ospital structures. The present build-, ,g has been over-crowded for some '.me. and the sisters have felt the eed of providing more commodious uarters. They proceeded quietly to cquire the property immediately j outh of them, and have secured all ut the one piece mentioned. When tis is purchased the hospital will own he entire block, and will be one of J the largest and best institutions of its kind in the state." Among the patients now in the hospital is Mrs. Mary Colchin of this city, vho was very badly injured when •hrown from an automobile which colded with a street car in Fort Wayne. y - ■ ■ The remonstrators against the vacatag of the alley between the Central chool lot and its new purchase, the tudebaker property. which vacation J as ordered this week by Judge Ya-

Q—- : One hundred or more persons from all parts of the county, and especially those residing along the St. Marys and Wabash rivers, attended the meeting held in this city at 10 Saturday morning ovei which R. D. Fleming o' Fort Wayne, deputy state fish and game commissioner, presided, the meeting being called relative to the matter of the appointment of deputy game wardens in whose hands will be placed seines for the ridding of the streams of undesirable lish. it was at first planned to hold the meeting in the court house, but as this was closed on account of the funeral of Judge Merryman's mother, the assembly met in the interurban assembly room. Deputy game wardens in the various communities of the coun-T were appoint ed and in the hands of these deputies w ill be placed seines, one for each deputy and organized party. These seines are to be purchased by the parties in the communities who desire to use them, one only for each game warden. Whenever it is used, the game warden must accompany the party, taking the seine, and he must be present at its use. permitting only the taking from the streams of such fish as are undesirable, which include nearly all but bass, pike and pickerel. The spearing of the undesirable fish will also be permitted, the spear to be kept in the possession of the deputy game warden, just as is the seine. The following were the deputy game wardens appointed for seining in the St. Mary's river: E. Doehrman. Decatur. R. R. 1. F. Bultemeier. Decatur. R. R. 1.

The game wardens will receive their commissions from the state game warden and it is expected that these will be here in a few days. o —....— HAY FEVER TIME HERE. The time of the year is rapidly approaching when many thoroughly re spectable people can be seen on the streets with bleary eyes, a "runny” nose and a general dejected appearance, as though they had been out with the boys for a night. Although the victims look that way, it is not from that cause, but from that dreaded hay fever, which spares neither rich nor poor. Many that are able will leave the cities and towns within the next two or three weeks to seek relief at one of the many northern resors. but those who are not able will stay at home to fight it out and not get relief until frost comes. The blossoming of the rag weed is said to be the signal for the attacks of hay fever, and its ripening is now- being watched with apprehension o

For several days we have been receiving notices from farmers throughout the county telling of the bumper crops which they have raised. Today another report comes to our attention telling of the good measure which was received, and we are now forced to believe that it would be hard to beat Adams county, any place. The latest announcement says: “Talk about Root township: talk about Monroe township, but when you hear of good, old Kirkland township, you will all take off your hats. William Arnold threshed ",680 bushels of oats off of twenty-th ee acres; W. Beineke received 1,633 bushels from twenty-sev-en acres; Jacob Barger 2.160 bushels from thirty acres; Otto Hildebrand 1.147 bushels from sixteen acres, and wheat averaged thirty bushels to the acre." This is going some, and the fanner, as well as the city of Decatur, is on the boom, and there is no reason why we should not have plenty to eat this winter. o ■ ■ UNCLE SAM WANTS FINGER MEN. Finger print experts are desired by the government, according to the announcenuknt of the civil service examinations in Indianapolis during August.

POTATO CROP SHORT. A scarcity of potatoes in the local . markets has sent the prices soaring, and now the economical housewife is confronted with a price of $2.00 per bushel, four-bits for a peck. The drought in the early spring caused the early varieties to fail and when the i late crop was planted another drought i severely affected them. Merchants are not having any trouble in supplyj ing the demand, as it is rather limited owing to the high prices There will not be a very large reduction in the (price this season, although they may drop somewhat when the late crop is marketed. ICE CREAM SOCIAL. The Mt. Pleasant Epworth League wishes to again call the attention of the public to the ice cream social.

The operation took place at the home of her parents and was in charge of Dr. MeOscar of Fort Wayne, assisted by the Doctors Clark of this city. The ordeal was well withstood by the patient and although her condition is serious it is believed the operation will prove suecessful in every way.

RUMOR OF DEATH. \ rumor Monday afternoon went the rounds that Dr. Battel Clark of New Haven, a brother of Drs. C. S. and D. D. Clark, this city, was dead, and much anxiety was caused among the relatives until the true report was, learned, which stated that he had suffered a sinking spell, but was still alive. The doctor has been in very .poor health with typhoid pneumonia for some days, and is at present lying at the point of death. His brother. C. S. Clark, left this afternoon to be at his bedside. Three big real estate deals were brought to a head Monday at 2 o'clock through the Bowers Realty company, which mark the change in ownership and the consequent change in residence by September Ist of three •of the best properties in the city. The first was the purchase of the Abe Boch property of twenty-one acres on West Monroe street, for years known as the Sam Doak property, by George Burkett, of Wells county, the consideration being $7,500. Mr. Burkett was here last week and noticing the excellent advantages of the place for chicken raising, decided to purchase this place and engage in chicken culture thereon. He expects to come here to reside by September Ist. M”. Burkett was a former resident of Kirkland township, and is very glad to get back again in old Adams county. Mr. Boch. who has thus disposed of his residence place, thereupon bought the fine home of ex Treasurer John F. which is located on Monroe street, just opposite the Boch home. The consideration for this excellent property was $5,000. Mr. Ijichot. who has made his home there for a number of years has, in turn, bought the John T. France residence on Winchester street, the amount involved therein being $4,000. All the properties are excellent ones, including some of the finest resident advantages in the city. All expect to take possession of their new homes by September Ist. Mrs. France has not yet made arrangements as to her location.

IN MEMORIAM. Mary Ann Archbold was born in Harrison county, Ohio, February 17, 1527. She came to Adams county, Indiana, with her father and mother in the fall of 1835. On the 18th day of j October, 1849, she was married to I Charles W. Merryman, who died in 1870, soon after the close of the war of the rebellion. She was the mother of six children —Jonathan, Eliza J., James T., Zachariah, Henry L. and Susie, two of whom preceded her in death, Eliza J., in 1879, and Henry L., in 1884. She became suddenly ill on Thursday. only a week ago. and notwithstanding all that able physician, faithful nurse, loving care of neighbors and children could do, the patient, loving, Christian mother went to her wellearned, peaceful sleep on August 3, 1911, aged eighty-four years, five months and sixteen days. For more than sixty-five years she was a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church, as were her father and mother, and as also are all her children She lived on the farm on which she died, nearly sixty-two years. All of the neighbors of her early married life, many of whom she had nursed in sickness and wept with in sorrow have long since died and in this community she was the last of
