The Wabash railroad is equipping their engines with a device known as the “bum killer.” The apparatus consists of -a spraying apparatus which will thoroughly drench any hobo who attempts to ride on the bumpers. It has been tried in several instances and found to be very effective The citizens of Blackford county ha ve ]s‘tioned their commissioners for a hospital. Under the recently passed law it is possible for every county to have a hospital and it would not be a bad thing for the people of this county to follow the example of their neighbors. Such an institution would not only save dollars but would save lives and the establishment of the place is certainly on inip'irtun* Usne.
