All arrangements for the opening of the cider mills which have been made throughout the county assures us that the apple crop is here in abundance, i and from now on until late in the fall the many juice presses will be busy, thus consuming a large portion of this ( fruit which seems to be most plentiful. this season.

Yager files his report of taxes collected ! for the month of July, the total amount being $484.72. A petition was filed by C. W. Yager, county treasurer, asking that temporary offices be opened at the towns of Berne and Geneva for the collection of taxes on such days as he may deem convenient, in accordance with an act passed by the last legislature, House Bill No. 624, Sec. t and 2. W. O. Bigham, heretofore appointed superintendent of the Foster bridge, appeared and presented his oral resignation, J. H. Steele being appointed* in his stead. On account of quick-sand being found, it is necessary to add to the original specifications, the contractor being ordered to place in the excavations at the south abuttment, oak timber to the width of two teet, and extend the wings three feet wide and five feet longer by placing 12x12 oak sills with two-inch oak planks on top of same, the total cost . of extras, including material and laj bor to be $48.54. This is to be built

under the supervision of the superin- i tendent and engineer. ( ' Certain additional improvements < were ordered in the McElhaney road. — Charles Reichelderfer, treasurer of the Geneva school corporation, files his annual report of receipts and expenditures for the year ending July 31, which is approved by the board. , The lioard also approved the report of Edwin Heller, treasurer of the i Berne school town, showing receipts for the year ending July 31st.

The 1 twentieth annual convention of the Indiana branch of the Young People's , 1 Alliance, which will be followed by , 1 the convention of the Woman's Mis--1 sionary society and the quadrennial 'convention of the National Young Peo- ' pie's Alliance opened at Lake Wawa--1 see on Tuesday evening with an adI dress by Rev. H. A. Kramer of Cleve- ' land, Ohio, editor of Sunday school lit--1 erature. j t The executive committee and the' 1 park management are enthusiastic ' over the prospect and the conventions I promise to be the greatest, in the his- ' tory of Oakwood park. Rev. D. O. I Wise of this city, president of the In- ' diana branch, in his annual address, 1 spoke of Oakwood park as the mecca l of Evangelical workers. He also, touched the social lite of Oakwood, • which he declared to be ideal; the wholesome atmosphere which prevails ' there; and the opportunities of dele- . gates and visitors to hear inspiring ( lectures and addresses and to get larg- ( ' er visions of service and growth. Delegates and visitors are coming in I on every train and the park manage-, I ment predicts that the accommoda- ( ' tions will be taxed. Tents are being, ' erected and hotels-at other points on * the lake will assist in providing ac--1 commodatioaN. Several from Decatur in attendance. It seems that another epidemic of

glass throwing lias ttrokeni oMt in> tbm I city a»<l autoists and otluer <4rtv<Ms of rubber-tired vehicles are rnw*»tuuj with disastrous results, following a spin through the city's streets. Early Sunday morning pedestrians on Adams street were regaled with the sight of nearly a dozen empty pop bottles, broken in the center of the brick street in such a manner that any one driving from Fourth street could not help but puncture a tire. The glass was broken fine, and all lay in a bunch which extended across the street so 'that tke entire width of the street was dangerously covered, it being a pre--1 meditated, scurrilous, criminal action of some ruffian or ruffians, who probably are incensed at their inability to earn even the price of a second-hand bicycle. Adams street has long been known to motorists as dangerous, as it never is without some patches of well dis- ■ tributed glass, the principals taking ' great delight in smearing the streets directly after the sweeper has cleaned the former distribution oft The attention of the officials was called to i the act, but as yet no action has been taken. TURN TO THE RIGHT. ■ This is a Rule Which Ought to be Carried Out in Traveling. 7 — : * If the drivers of the many vehicles ; which pass up and down the streets 1 would remember the rule to turn to ths right, in a good many instances it ■ would do away with much confusion t that is now oelng created. A number

of times recently people would try to drive through one of the gangways at the same time, both going in opposite directions, with the result that eacli would get about half way through the I drive before it was noticed and one of the two teams would have to back out causing delay and trouble to other rigs also. In cities all vehicles are 1 compelled to keep to the right and it would be a good idea to follow this ' plan, at least while improvements are being made, and it would be a better idea to keep it up after the work is ' completed. It would be much easier to drive to the corner and turn around If it is necessary to get on the opposite side of the street. o DRUGGISTS EWJOY DAY. A Jolly Crowd of Picnickers Spent Sunday in the Woods. The annual reunion and picnic was held Sunday, August 6th, at Berne, in Gottschalk's park, near Twin lakes, one-half mile east of Berne. All the retail druggists and their families were supposed to be present at this gathering, but only Decatur and Berne were represented, Geneva. Monroe and Linn Grove being absent. A very fine 1 time was enjoyed by all that were present the entire day. To say that I the Berne druggists are the most hospitable entertainers in the state is putting it mildly. The Decatur druggists were treated royally, as nothing was left undone by the Berne druggists to make the reunion a success in every I way, and to entertain their visitors in such away that all who were present felt inclined to not leave the place, and in fact a few were so well pleased with the way in which they were entertained that they remained until Monday. One of the finest dinners 1 ever served at a picnic was on this oc--1 casion, and place. “Oh, you” watermelon on ice, ice cream, finest ever made, and last but not least, lemonade, made and guaranteed under the | pure food act by John Falk of Decatur, John also carrying away the hon ors of the day as the champion on .storing away spring chicken. The , next, reunion will no doubt be. held , at Decatur. BY ONE PRESENT. o j The opinion of Attorney D. B. Erwin of this city, given to the school board, was sustained by Attorney General Thomas M. Honan, according to the following letter received Monday by O. L. Vance, secretary bf the city school board, from Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public | instruction: “When an indebtedness for school purposes exists against a civil city, there is no legal or moral obligation resting upon the school board to as- ! sume the indebtedness, although it 1 may do so. The attorney general con--1 curs with me in the foregoing opion ion.” !' The question came up on an inquiry from this city. School bonds to the amount of SII,OOO were issued sixteen years ago for the construction of the ] South Ward school house, when the school and civil corporations of the J city were not separated, the civil anj thorities subscribing to the bonds. These are now due and the civil city wants the school city to assume the ' old debt, and refund it by issuing new ’ bonds, but the school city says it cannot accept the debt and construct the new high school building, which becomes necessary by the rocent conhi Id Ken Cry FOR FLETCHER’S KASTORIA

It is not known just what will be the action of the school board regarding the taking on of the debt, as the new board, which was organized August Ist, has as yet held no meeting i foY action thereon. A committee of the Union Chapel United Brethren church met Sundav and completed arrangements for the giving of an ice cream social, the same to take place on next Saturday evening on the Joseph S. Lower lawn, one and one-half miles northeast of the city. A stand will be conducted on the grounds, where eatables of picnic style will be found, in addition to the serving of ice cream. Those in charge have made preparations for a good time and expect a large crowd present. The proceeds will go toward the parsonage fund. The public is invited. Everything is in readiness for the United Brethren picnic to be held tomorrow* at Steele's park, and the many anticipating going are looking forward to a day of pleasure. Conveyances will be at the church at 9 and 10 o'clock, where those wishing to go can secure rigs, but after this time all others will have to make different arrangements. Numerous amusements will be afforded for the old and young alike, while refreshments will also be had on the grounds. A day of none other than pleasure is looked for and will be so, if the weather man will permit. o ■ ■ Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius McGough and children of Rockford, Ohio, changed cars here this morning on their way to Fort Wayne.
