Oom Paul Kruger, deoe ased president of the late Dutch republic left an estate valued at $35,000,000.

There fire about 450,000 corporations in Indiana recorded in the books of the secretary of state and almost 25 per cent of them are dead ones—that is, they are out of business, but there is nothing to bring that fact out. One of the bills proposed by the codification committee is for a law to compel the corporations to report to the secretary of state. This does not refer to steam or traction railroads nor does it mean that the corporations must furnish details of their nusiness, but that they report the election of officers and all things that will go to show that they either are or are not active. Conisderabh kick is being made against the Clover Loaf railway agents by people who desire to ascertain the time of trains and how they are running, whether late or otherwise, claim that the agents refuse to tell them. This, however, is.absolutely false, as the men employed at this station are gentle men, and courteous to all, and endeavor to make things as pleasant tor their tratliic as possible. If these kickers would only study for a moment There is many a time that there is no one in the station, an<i the phone remains unanswered. If they would enquire of central they would inform them as to the trains, as they are reported there by the ag mt daily. This is done to | accommodate p w ’ 1() patronize their line.

Once, when Australia was not yet connected with the old world by telegraph, a mail steamer from London beat the record in smart passage, and to signalize the event she tired off all her guns as she advanced up the harbor ot Melbourne. But the Melbourne authorities misconstrued this demonstration and. feeling sure that the Russians were really coming nt last, promptly mobilized all their military and naval resources before they discovered their mistake.
