Go to lied when you please and lie at ? your ease, You'll die just the same I with the some Latin disease." A vat for boiling asphalt came ( in over the Adams express company yesterday and was transferred to the National. It was to go to Bluffton yesterday, but a dozen men could not get the casting in the ’ express car. They gave up the job after delaying the passenger twenty minutes. The vat weighed over a thousand pounds and was sent out on a local. ’ A letter received hen* from Dick ' France stated that he had quite a ’ tussle with some Hungarians.

A new boiler is now being placed in jKisition at Mayer's brick yard in the north part of this city. The j old one which has been in service 1 for a number of years has been removed and will be utilized as a ■ sewer pipe. A number of improvements are under way at the north i end brick yards which when completed will greatly increase the 'capacity of the plant. A man called at the Meyer’s livery barn last evening and left with the team of horses which Policeman Fisher had picked up on west Adams i street last Saturday night. The man did not give his name and it is not known who it was, as he was a stranger to the livery stable employees who were present et the time. The owner stated that an employee was on the wagon last Saturday and that he had not seen tbe man since. He claimed to have had some jewelry in the wagon and that it was stolen. Workmen were busy today filling up the artificial lakes on north Second street. While we realize this a much needed improvement, yet are prone to shed u the scalding when we see our happy fishing waters thus wantonly" destroyed. In lieu of a more expensive outing, we had been anxiously looking forward !to the near future when with our bent-pin hook and canned corn bait 'we could sit content on the curb stones of North Second and pull in ! the water boys, swimming in the immeasurable depths. Alas our dream is faded, but then there are other—streets. One of the greatest advertisers—- > M \1 Gillam of Wanamaker's—writes the New York Tribune that the writer of an advertisement must have sound business sense the capacity to be a good talking salesman. He recalls what the late Ebqn Jordan said many years ago ‘ You must love your goods or you can't sell them." Mr. Gillam maintains that there is a world of iof business truth in the thought. If the salesman is enthusiastic | for his goods, he can make a possible customer enthusiastic for them. "Without study, without special thought, he will say just the right thing to stir the interest of the visitor, if the visitor is at all inclined to the purchase." This is one of the biggest secrets of the advertising business, and a good thing to keep in mind: That which interests attracts pptronage, and the keeping of promises and J courteous behavior nt the counter keeps patrons. This is the contribution which makes a success.

Miss Margaret Case went to Wilshire this morning for a visit with friends. Mrs. E. Kiser north west of this i city is seriously sick and may not recover. Mrs. William Schieman who lives near Williams is quite sick with typhoid fever. Oliver Steele better known as “Doc' was in this city today having dropped in from Ft. Wayne. R. B.

Mrs. L. Kirsh and family went to Frankfort this morning where they will visit for several days with friends and relatives. Miss Mayme Dorwin returned from Fort Wayne this afternoon, where she visited her sister, Mrs. J 8. BradenMiss Catharine Case who has been visiting relatives here for several days, returned this morning to Willshire. Mrs. J. D. Edwards and family, formerly of this city, now of Weedsport, N.

Amspaugh who have been visitng relatives here for several weeks, returned this morning to Cayuga, Falls, Ohio. It is understood that Bluffton will playjthe Fort Wayne Nationals in the near future. If that place is considerate they will import a battery or their flimsy reputation will take a balloon ride for sure. The crowd of Bluffton fans managed to raise ten dollars to wager on the team Sunday, and the stakeholder ducked with the money. It is therefore not very probable that Bluffton will give a street fair this fall. John Mock, mayor of Bluffton, and Miss Maggie Dempsey of the same city, were registered at the Burt for dinner. Rumors of their mission have reached this office, but could not be substantiated and we therefore withhold the announcement.

The Marshal Was Powerless. Dryant. Ind Aug 12 - Drunken men made themselves obnoxious by parading the streets and daubing red paint on business houses and fencts and otherwise disporting themselvea riotously. The town marshal was powerless to preserve order. The day after he asks her to marry him she goes around the house and takes inventory of the gimerncks which are hers and which she can take with her.—Atchison Globe.
