The east bound Clover Leaf train, due here at 12:58 p. m. came in a few minutes ahead of time today and passengers and business men who were slowly migrating toward the station, did some pretty tall hustling, fearing that the train would leavebefore they got there. Train No. 12 on the G. R. & I. railroad, due here at 7:17 a. m., was twenty-five minutes late this morning, having lost that much time in creeping through the [Fort Wayne yards. Number two left the depot on time but was delayed again and gain by blockading freight trains which are moved very slowly owing to the congested condition of the yards. A law passed by the late legislature and signed by the governor, provides tliat where married woman hereafter executes her promissory note, bond or other evidence of indebtedness and delivers the same, anil the loan is paid to the woman herself jby ash check or draft she shall be ~ estopped from claiming that such loan was made for the use or benfit of any one else. Danville, Illinois has realized something from the traction companies to whom they granted franchises for the operation of electric cars on the streets of that city. The city council asked for the use of the exhaust steam from the power plants and they now make considerable money from a heating plant which has lieen established. The steam is pipid over a large jxirtion of the business and residence 7 section ’and seems to give the jx'st of satisfaction, James Rice, Newtonn Parrish, and Frt'd Blosser, employes at thelpeeatur freight "office*! if the*G* RI railroad, were'busy today moving papers, books and records from the present’freight office to the Niblick' elevator. Part of that building has lx*en* provided as a [temporary freight ofllix- while the regular depot will Hie moved across the tracks'* It will be some time'*l>efore'”the freight dcjMirtment ’will lie back in the old building and all those who have business* to transact with the company should remember where to find the freight office. An Oklahoma juijmt prints this story: Hhe was from Boston he was from Oklahoma, "You have traveled a good deal in the west, have you not. Miss Beacon?” Oh, yes—indeed in ( alifornnia. Arizona, and even New Mexico?” Did you ever see the Cherokee strip?" There was a )Hiinful silence, but finally she liMiked over her glasses at him and said: "In the first place, sir, I deem your question exixiedingly rude; and in the second, yon might ha ve lx>en more refined in your lun gunge by asking me if I had ever seen the Cherokee disrobe."

The "Missouri Girl” company camo in this noon over the Clover Leaf from Van Wert. This is one of the most popular shows on the road, which is manifested by it annual apjx arance on our stage. The Frysinger, Gerber & Sprunger, horse company continues to do a land office business and jierhaps in May will return to Germany for another load of heavy drafters. At the present time they have but nine head on hand. Michael Wertzberger mislaid his watch somewhere about the high school building yesterday. It is an open face, silver watch, four ounce , case, with Columbus movement. Someone has no doubt found it and Mr. Wertzberger will reward any one who returns it. Hartford City reports that a citizen of that place is on the verge of death from eating poisonous herbs . that were cooked with greens. The . case is a peculiar one, though it 1 could easily hap]x>n, and people who enjoy a mess of greens should be very careful lest some deleterious plantTshould’season the dish and spoil your appetite for the tender plant. I Gyrations at the Waring Glove factory was suspended a short time this morning, owing to a break down . in the bigj engine. The difficulty was soon remedied however, and the fifty machines were again put to work. Quite a number of gloves have already been turned out and the entire factory if filled with a rush and a whirl which evidences much business. . ’ In a letter’to'some of his friends in thisTcity JBurt C. Christen states that the production of Ben Hur will . be fone of£the\ greatest theatrical eventsjever occurring in Toledo, . Ohio. He says that long lines of scalpers representing different agencies, line up in front of the box office until the streets are blockaded. Burt has’lx-en] at Toledo for some time and is at present holding a responsible ]>osition in the prescription department of one of that city's largest drug stores. Persons who each year plant flower siiils should remember that now is the time to plant them, not outside, but in pots or boxes so that the plants may lx* of suitable size to lx 1 transferred when spring comes. The seeds of the pinsy, verbena, colesns. sweet alvsum and such flowers that are to be transplanted should be planted now in a suitable box in the house in a rich soil and should lx 1 kept in’an even tenqierature and carefully tended so that by the time they are to be transplanted they (will lx* [large enough to stand the change. Dr Willets may lx> considered a model man and a close approach to the ideal. Possessed with delicate sentiments that would hardly permit him to[do anything wrong, he throws the tide of his power with all his force in the opposite direction and tries to overcome the prevailing evil with good. His thoughts are not directed toward the renumerations which he may receive for himself, but toward lifting the burdens from other blighted lives. And his viewjof ourselves, our fellow men, and the world, is the way that all should see ft, that is, in an ideal light, which is the only way that the world and its }X‘ople can Ix-comi-tranquilly established within bounds of the moral, spiritual and physical law. This is Dr. Willits view and it approaches ideality, it can be said that he is an ideal man.

A temporary shelter is being erected on their ground southeast of the station for the working force. The machines and the first consignment of cement are expected to arrive any day and the former will be put up immediately upon arrival. Sand and gravel is being hauled up and work is expected to begin next week. Several contracts for artificial stone are already awaiting fulfillment. Postmasters hereafter will not be permitted to rent boxes to minners without the written consent of the lairents. The order was made by the jiostoftice department to cor root an abuse growing out of the fact that minor girls rent boxes and open up corresjiondence with outside ])arties and in that way keep the correspondence a secn’t from their parents. This is a good ruling and will doubtless put a stop to much 1 flirtation. It may also stop a more serious (evil. When girl has a correspondent she is ashamed for her mother to know she is treading on quicksand that may engulf her. If it cannot be said that Decatur is' another word for opjjortunity, put it that Decatur is full of advantages. Here’s a single instance. This city not only has the best electric light servicees to be found any where but prices for bulb and other lights stand for favorable comparison with rates in other cities. At one time the people of Decatur paid but twenty-five cents for incundeseents, now they pay by the flat rate, fifty cents. In Huntington the charges are eighty cents per light, at Fort Wayne, Jone dollar, while in the gas belt cities such as Marion, Muncie or Anderson, the prices range from seventy-five cents to one dollar.

Osteopathy. It gives nature a chance. It stimulates organic action. It is not like this or that “ism." Its keynote is adjustment. Its laws can be demonstrated. It provides for free circulation and It insures unimpeded nerve force, upon the integrity of which every normal function is dependent. W. WILBER BLACKMAN, Os teopath, Sti debaker block. 65if
