Sneak thieves abound and their tricks are dark and vain. They step into residences and steal therefrom anything they can get their hands on. Last week they entered James Mel). Hays’ house and carried otl his overcoat, also one belonging to his son Harry 1). Hays. Some miscreant Tuesday night took an ax and chopped seven spokes from one wheel and one spoke from another wheel of Albert Browning's road wagon. This is a petty piece of spite work wrecked by some one with a grudge against Albert who now has his eve open for the evil

doer.

An ovarian tumor, weighing twenty-live pounds, was removed from Miss Clara Patterson Tuesday, Dr. Smythe performing the operation. Miss Patterson is a member of the freshman class and hails from Logansport, where she took class honors in the city high school. Win.

They es eorted the same through the city and sent a delegation to Union Chapel cemetery in Clinton township where the interment occurred. The war relic exhibition is nowopen in the Spurgin room and many are taking advantage of the display. The room has been handsomely decorated and those attending will find relics enough to keep them busy looking for some time. Especial features will be announced for the remaining days of the ex

E. <'. Cole, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, is visiting his uncle, J. W. Cole. Mr. ('ole manufactures stoves and is patentee of a new stove that he guarantees will heat a large room, with wood as fuel, for four cents per day, with wood at $d.50 per cord. The stove is a new idea in heating apparatus and weighs but thirty-five pounds. The law fixing qualifications necessary to entitle citizens to vote provides that every male citizen of the age of 21 years and upward who shall have resided in the state during the six months, and in the township sixty days, and in the ward or precinct thirty days immediately preceding such election, shall he entitled to vote. Airs. Greenborry Wright, of Fill more who has been spending the past few days at William Brothers, fell down a flight of cellar stairs Sunday receiving a number of painful bruises about the head, and lay unconsious for six hours. Dr. Bence was summoned and gave her the necessary attention. Mrs.Wright is somewhat better and was re moved to her home Monday. Henry Hillis has a very fine fish pond, and gives the boys twenty cents per dozen for small catfish to stock his farm.

the pond. As soon as Mr. Hillis returned another boy was on hand with a dozen fish, same kind and size, and there was a fish in each lot with an eye out. This boy was paid also, but Mr. Hillis don't seem to understand why the two lots were so much alike. A number of new counterfeit silver dollars of the date 1885 arc in circulation. They are light in weight and the metal is quite bright. The milling on the dollar is first class and the counterfeit is a dangerous one. Several have been passed in this city and other towns in the central part of the state. Note the appearance of the

spurious coin.

John Tucker, whose illness has been mentioned several times in these columns, died Saturday at the residence of bis parents east of the city. Mr. Tucker's decease was caused by consumption, ot which he had long been a sufferer. He leaves no family, his wife preceding him to the other land several years ago. The funeral occurred oh Monday at Union Chapel. A counterfeit 12(1 U. 8. note series of 1883, has been discovered in some localities. It has Hamilton's portrait, and is smaller than the genuine. You hud better go over all your twenties carefully and see if you have any answering this description. Twenties of any description are not very plentiful this year, however, and the average citizen will not spend much time in look-

ing over it is roll.

A. T. Beck, a prominent attorney at Indianapolis, was tound dead in his bed Tuesday. Indications point to murder or suicide. Miss Edith Beck, a student of Del’auw and a member of the senior class, is the only daughter of the dead man, her mother having been dead several years. Miss Beck was at her home in Indianapolis, where she had been for a month, and is just recovering from u case

of scarlet fever.

Lee Hamilton and Miss Anna Lnvalle were married Tuesday at Brazil. The Brazil fh niocruf calls their trip to that city on elopement and has the following: “Levi Hamilton and Miss Anna Lavnlle, of Greencastle, arrived in the city on the first train from the east this afternoon and proceeded at once to Justice James' otliee and had the nuptial knot tied, returning on the 2 :52 east-bound train. Both bride and groom are 25 years of age.’’ Isam Taylor lias been elected the otlieial delegate to represent the Indiana university chapter of Phi Delta Theta at the coming national convention to be held in Indianapolis next month. This is no ordinary honor in fraternity circles, as the chapter here is the oldest of that organization, and Phi Delta Theta ranks second of the Greek fraternities in the west. Almost all the members here expect to attend a portion of the session of the convention. — Bloom iiiylmi I'cleDr. G. L Curtiss will go to Mad ison next week to spend several days. On Monday the Itinerant School of the Southeast conference will meet and the sessions will continue until Friday. The board is composed of a faculty of eight elected by the Southeastern conference, Dr. Curtiss being its presi ednt. The students are undergrad-

The decision reverses the ruling of the Putnam circuit court, which gave Mrs. Brown a divorce from her hushand and also t he custody of the child. Brown's attor neys. Hays A Mathias, took an appeal, with the above result. The effect of the decision ’s that the parties are still hushand and wife. Mr. Brown is in Chicago, while Mrs. Brown is in Bainbridge. Says the Terre Haute /■.'x/ireits: The Coates college board has received considerable encouragement within the past few days in its effort to raise $50,000 for the payment ot the college debts. A number of Terre Haute people have subscribed liberally, and several well known Presbyterians of Indianapolis have pledged considerable support. The regular canvass has not begun, as the members of the board decided to test the sentiment of the people on the matter beforehand. The amount pledged up to the present time has reached over

$15,000.

The fire alarm at ll :30 Monday morning was sent in from box 51 on the corner of Liberty and Madison streets. The fire was in a stable in the rear of J. \\\ Moore’s house on Madison street between Liberty and Jacob. The fire boys got out in good time and went west on Walnut and north on Madison, the Banner Times man with them. Hose was hitched at the Liberty-

worked perfectly. The horses were eating their dinner, having the bits out of their mouths, notwithstanding which and the fact that one fireman was at dinner. Engineer 1’hroop's speed test showed the hoys got out in Js seconds. There does not always seem to he ‘plenty of room on top,'’ as the saying is. Sometimes it seems that there is standing room for only one at the apex of each subject in literature. Try to think of the scenes of sacred history turned to best account for the purposes of a romantic story by any one except General Lew Wallace, or (even among comparatively light and familiar themes) try to think of school days in England adequately described by any person other than the genial author of “Tom Brown at Rugby.” The apical point seems to have been attained and occupied, once for all; and now also life at West Point has been so fairly and brightly realized, in Captain King's “< adet Days,” that, although it has but just within the month issued from the Harpers’ press, we are ready to assign to it the position where there is standing room for only one.

It is evicient that the Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania lines are to shorten the time of trains between St. Louis and New York and Chicago uni New York, probably in each ease retaining the present trains and putting on new ones. This will likely lead to a rate war, as the roads which cannot make such time with iheir through trains will meet the shorter time by re
