The Northern Association of Den- , tists will will meet at Wabash, Sep- , tember 15 and 16. This year's meeting promises to be a very instructive and interesting one as the best men of the profession from all other Indiana and southern Michigan will be in attendance. 1 The Marion Zouaves one of the leading attractions of Wallaces great show is composed of boys. Harry Stover who is well known in this city as being a former member of the 160th Indiana regiment and is connected with the Marion Owl club is captain of the Zouaves. ' One car load of coons was hauled 1 through this city’ last evening on 1 the north brand G. R. & I. passenger train. They were shipped to the nothern summer resorts to be i used as table waiters, chefs, and the ? table d'hote like. The sight of > them peharps was a little refreshing 1 for we so seldom see members of that race in this city.

Ernest Cross received a painful injury yesterday while cleaning his' bicycle. His finger caught in the cogs, and the first joint was mashed. The Misses Pauline and Nora Ehr-I man, who have been the guests of Mrs. John Harmon, returned thisl morning to their homes at Fort I Wayne. : Foxy Ault an employee of the J. i • 8. Bowers quarry had his hand . | quite badly mashed yesterday while lifting a large stone and as a result j , will lie unable to work for several 1 t days. Hogs were steady at Chicago s markets today and wheat broke but a f fraction of a cent over the closing j price of yesterday. Slight offerings | j and unfavorable crop reports make the prices uncertain. I The Fort Wayne Blues will strug- , gle with Decatur in a game of base ball at Steele's park next Sunday. | I The diamond has been floated and , put in good shape as the boys ex- } pect a fast game. An admisison of ; f - twenty-five cents will be charged i , which includes a ticket to the grand ■ f stand. Clarence Buckmaster and Louis 1 , Cordua employees at the Loch hard ware store were victims of a joke this atfernoon, perpetrated by themselves. The boys had just set up a wagon and were complimenting themselves on their fine job, when the owner noticed something peculiar about the machine. It was soon found they had put the front wheels on behind and vice-versa. Liza Ford the thirteen year old daughter of Charles Ford died at the home of her parents on Tenth street last evening. Her death was due to brain trouble. A short funeral service will be held at the home this evening conducted by I Rev. J. C. White assisted by Rev. 1 Pontius. Interment will be made at Ceylon tomorrowjmorning. In the weekly issue of the Decatur Democrat there was printed an article which through an oversight of the proof-reader ..ppeared incorrect. The article concerned Mr. Fleming's action toward restraining boys from swimming in a creek which runs through his farm. It was stated that Ora Baker, Jim , Dolliham, Warren Wilkinson, and Leo, Ed and Charley David had been arrested. Thia was not the j case but as was stated warrents for their arrest had been issued and were simply awaiting execution, Mr. Fleming states that should the s ime boys or any others be caught trespassing again, prosecution will follow. Few people realize what an enormous organization, a railway comI>any is. There are over two hundred and fifty thousand people connected with the safety of railway trains in this country. To discipline its army of workmen a railroad corjioration is as complete in details and as efficient as our military staffs and officers. The slightest disaster on the part of an employee may cause irrejiarable disaster or lose the conqmny thousands of dollars And discharge is the worst punishment a negligent trainman receives. On the other hand, there is always chance for promotion from water boy to general manager. With the increasing complexity in railroad management it is marvelous that so few accidents occur. The railroads in this country average over a billion passengerk each year, with scarcely more than one death to every two and a half million ]iiissengers curried.

Our attention is called to a “lap jack” with buggy whips which occurred between two young men of this city Wednesday evening. Fir fully ten minutes each cut and slashed the other, neither complaining of the licks that they received, although great welts rose where the whips fell. Finally one of the contestants weakened, and then quit, while his opjionent now tl e victor, walked away, swelling with the pride of his obstinacy. You doubtless remember the story of Indian customs. How the little boys would place live coals under their arms and press tht m close to the body without whimpering or showing signs of pain . But you will remark that the Indian youth did that Ito harden him to test his physical endurance while the "lap jack" was an exhibition of an entirely diff rent character. It was merely a test of! the bull-dog variety. Cut ard i slash, never give up, fight, fight, fight. Yet with all this there is a , moral. The contest was entered ; and finished with both duelists smiling, and if not anything more, they learned “to suffer as to do”. But often such affairs end in a crash and the bulldog tenacity of those who are worked upon by the same I influences that made the characteristics of the American Indian, can e used for a better purpose than an exhibition of the so called sport.
