The poor woman who hid her money in her bustle and then lost the bustle, has died since then as | a result of worry and the shock of thinking she had lost it the second time. It is very sad to think that one woman's life was made so miserable by a few thousand dollars when there are people who could have spent her wealth so easily and never worried a minute about it. Perhaps, though, her life had its oompenastions. In spite of the burden of wealth imposed upon her, she may have had a good dig. -tion or a clean conscience. Foothill tactics in the ballroom floor must cease. No more “Yale glides" or Harvard dips” or distorted attempts to trend a measure in two-four time when the music culls for three beats in a bar. Such is the ultimatum of the American Society of Professors of Dancing now in session in New York. War has lieen declared by the professors and what they call the invasion of their special field by college students. The dancing of the two step to waltz time and the grotesque ]>ositions a-sum.d by the dancers are evils attributed to the college fads that have vitiated the public taste. "Same of thyse students,” said a professor from Terre Haute. Ind., “invent a series of simian con tortions and football tactics, give it a college name, and the public think it is all right because the college men do it.”

The western railroads it is reported are about to inaugurate a two cent fare. If this comes about it will only be a short time until the eastern roads will do the same thing. Three cents a mile is entirely too much and it is hoped that a universal two cent rate is not far off. A Bluffton opera house promoter was in this city today making arrangements with Decatur contractors to bid on the job in the event that the building was to be constructed. The promoter stated while here that he did not expect any bids from his home town as Bluffton contractors have no experience outside of one and two story buildings. Owing to the bucking qualities of a gas engine the Decatur Steam Laundry can not turn out any laundry until Saturday. The enigne refused to work Tuesday and it required three days fixing to get it back into working order.

The changes were made very rapidly last night and it was not necessary to put on their specialty lines to keep the audience quieted down.

I The G. R. &I. ticket agent sent i in a good days ticket receipts to Grand Rapids last evening. About ■ SBOO in cold cash was received . from the Petoskey excursion which i is not half bad. In all it required . four trains to handle all the excursionists the last train leaving this city at 6 p. m. Indiana stands third among the wetsern states in its liberality in t paying wages to teachers, Wisconjsin being first and Illinois second. [ Michigan is below Indiana, lowa . is away down at ninth place and . Ohio stands tenth,paying men teachers ♦35 and women |29 per month. ~ Ohio pays the lowest wages to men teachers in all the northern states, and only Maine, New Hamp ’ ( shire and Vermont pay less too men, 1 lowa, of the Mississippi valley states I and territorites, pay the lowest next to Louisiana. Its school buildings are, however, notably line. That the Carpenter Fuel Company [ is far from dead is shown by the . following from the Warsaw North ern Indianian: “That the jiatentees of the new process for making . fuel brick from a combination of I refuse and resinous matter by a secret process are in earnest is shown by the completion of 6,000 brick at a yard near South Bend. Each brick ' contains sixty four cubic inches and it is claimed that one brick will . cook an ordinary meal. It is also claimed that the new fuel has more ' heating strength and that it will eosl only one half that of hard coal. ‘ Experiments thus far have proved ’ satisfactory.” When the Barber Co.gets through with making repairs on the asphalt streets they will ask the city for 1 the portion of the guarantee fund i which they will contend is due. Right there is where the council will rise up and tell the Barbers to J go try some one easy. The company instead of resurfacing the streets - us should be done is patching up the bud holes and that is not the worst . of it, —the worst kind of asphalt is . being used. The refuse taken from ; tlie streets is being melted over and . 1 put down to repair the defects. The i patches will hold good about long enough for the company to ask for their money and then they too will wear out.—Bluffton News.

A Democrat reporter was given a little confidential talk and a glimpse at the books of the Harrod Shoe Factory and Warring Mitten Factory. Most of the employees work by the piece, and it is surprising how quickly they begin to earn “big money.” Five dollars a week is perhaps the lowest wages paid, while many make as high as eight or nine. The work is light the hours short, nnd the cm ployees at both factories are treated , the best.
