Hicks predicts a large variety of rain, sunshine, warm and cold weather for the month of April. It is to come in warm and wind up chilly. There will be considerable rain but no excess.

Taken ■ all in all the month will lie about like the months of April have been in years gone by, Ono day a careless man went down Cellar and stuck a lighted candle into what he supposed to be a keg of black sand. He sat near it while he hunted tor several costly tools kept theie so as to prevent them from being stolen. Before he realized it the candle burd ed quite low.

Over at Decatur the people have just got onto the game known as sflineh. which ran its course here the early’ part of the winter. Decatur is always just about three years behind the times in everything.— Blutffon Banner. The members of the bar practicing in the Adams circuit court, predict a large grist of business for the next term of court, which begins in April. The docket is already beginning to show evidence of the truthfulness of this assertion. That the Decatur Democrat Is enjoying a season of prosperity is evidenced by the fact that a Simplex ty]ie setting machine has been installed in that office, and the old time method of tyjie setting has been discarded.—Warren Tribune. Philip Gepheart and family will leave next Tuesday fui Midland, Michigan, a town about as large as Decatur, Indiana. It is the county seat of Midland county. Mr. Geepheart owns a farm twelve miles nortwest of of Midland, though he exjM'cts to engage in business in Midland.—Willshire Herald. Im]K>rtant business deals are now on in the northern part of the state and if successfully handled an air line electric railway will lx* established between Chicago and Toledo, Ohio. Tla> time is now coming when the electric road will not merely lie an interurlxm. so called Iwcausc it connects short distanced cities, but it will span the country’ and be known as trans-continental. And Ix'sides, the speed of the electric lines bid fair to attain the marvelous and make long electric railways a positive move in transpirtafion circles.

A disease which is described as a i cross betwee the measles and scarlet fever is raging among the school ehiliilteuat Wabash, and the physicians , call it “Rotheln.” It is very contag , ious but is not followed with any of the bad effects of measles or scarlet fever. A western newspaper thus expatiates on an all important theme: “A 1 man has written that a kiss on the | forehead denotes intellect." This may | be true, but the man who would waste his time kissing a woman’s forehead | when she has the rest of her face with her, has not got any intellect worthe of more than mere mentioning. An exchange remarks truthfully: I We have a great respect for the poor and ambitious boy who at twenty three yours of ago has succeeded in earning and saving SSOO. If girls knew what was good for them they would pay more attention to this class iof young fellows and less to cigarette and red necktie dudes who have run up a bill at the saloon.
