A real naughty exchange tells the following story, which ought never to have appeared in print. Aman built a new home of which he was very proud. Among other contrivances. he could pull a lever and a Tiath tub would come into his room. One day he was showing a lot of men his new house, and took them into his bedroom, where he explained the patent Tiath tub: “I will show you how it works,” be said. Touching the lever the tub came sliding into the room and his wife was in it. Train No. fl. the east bound Commercial Traveler on the Clover Leaf, ran all the way from Warren to Decatur this morning under the continual scream of the locomotive’s whistle. People along the way. like those of this city knew something was up but could not satisfy themselves whether or not there was some nig tire or some engine driver was having some fun. The fact of it was that the whistle valve became disconnected and it was impossible to stop the steam. An attempt was made to do so at Bluffton but the valve did not yield and they had to lot it blow. While in this city the difficulty was adjusted and the train again pulled away as quiet as over. __

Deputy Clerk Haefling will begin in a week or ten days on the work \ of indexing the records in the clerk's I office.

This lodge has nearly fifty members in this city, but sixteen insurance members are required for a council. In all probability the required number will soon be raised, though as yet nothing definite has been determined upon. The organization has shown wonderful growth, and a De catur council within the next six months is a certainty. City Clerk Hower was presented i with a garland of flowers last evening at the close of the session of council. The gift came from admiring citizens tind was called the Metrojiolitan wreath. If any city employe has labored hard during the time the brick street question has been impending, it is the city clerk who writes long records and read tiresome specifications with the unwieldy and technical terms, and the wreath was certainly given to the right person.
