His present condition is all that the doctors could ask and they are greatly en- ’ couraged over the outlook. This will no doubt prove encouraging news to his many friends. 1 Granmother Stegmeyer who residas four miles east of the city, fell this morning, slipping on a piece of ice • and broke her left arm just above the 1 wrist.

The furniture is of the lastest type of banking furniture and this popular institution will be right in line with the foremost. The United States Supreme court

rendered a decision a couple of weeks ago that effects many towns. That decision was to the effect that a town has no right to assess a license fee for selling by samples, or peddling. Such, licenses are in contravention of interstate commerce. It was rumored on the streets yesterday that a man had been killed on the Clover Leaf railroad near the state line, which, however, has since proven false as no accident of this kind has as yet been reported by the trainmen. Agent Miller says there is nothing to the story.

If the cold snap keeps up for a 1 few days more the ice men will commence to reap their annual harvest,so they may be in a position to meet the demand during the coming summer months. The river at present is out of its banks and should it now freez over it would make it handy for the ice men to handle their crop. Solicitors are making a preliminary canvass of the city and county for subscriptions to Snow’s History of Adams County. It is to be a comprehensive work of real merit, containing several hundred pages. Such a work should receive the encouragement of all those whose parents or friends were early settlers, and those who have been largely instrumental in developing the resources of the county. In the craw of a turkey purchased by Frank Hanna of Findlay, at a man ket in that city, was found several particles of gold, and a great bit of interest has been taken in an attempt, to find in which part of Hancock county the fowd was raised. However, the search has been useless, as the fowl was picked out of a large flock at the market and only allows every man who raisd turkeys to hope that he may find gold on his farm. A fair sized audience witnessed the production of The Gentleman Burglar, last evening at the opera house and were well repaid for the time spent, as the performance was good and was enjoyed by all. Joe Winter, as Jack Lawrence, the Gentleman Burg lar, was the star of the show and about him has been interwoven a pretty plot, which was well executed by the balance of the cast. The show was far above the average and deserved a much better house than they had. John Fellows Wallop, brother and heir of the Earl of Portsmouth, has written to his family from America that he intends becoming a citizen of the United States and renouncing his possible succession to the title and estates in favor of his son. Mr. Wallop, who has been a resident of Sheridan county, Wyo., for fourteen years, and is now the owner of a large ranch there, went before the district court of Sheridan on November 26 and declared his intention of becoming a citizen. Congressman G. W. Cromer has prepared his bjjl for pension, increases for Civil war veterans and it will | provide for an increase over the old i pension schedule of $8 per month, which will .mean if it passes that veterans now drawing sl2 per month; will receive S2O per month. Mr. Cro- ( mer says that a service pension bill as tome favor, would probably prove ] too great a drain on the treasury but he t Cleves the veterans should receiya S2O a month in recognition of th<ir services. While the roof of his home was bu. ig, W. Curtis Otterson, a broker, calle his family into the parlor and told .’aim to be comfortable until the J siren: i arrived and put out the, blaze One of the family noticed an odor ?f smoke coming from the upper floors of the house. Mr. Otterson , found that the roof was burning. He | notified fire headquarters over the telephone, then gathered his family and played the piano for them. When the j smoke became dense they shut the . parlor doors. When the firemen appeared they put out the fire in a few minutes. The house was damaged to ’ the extent of S2OOO. j

Miss Dornseif returned today from Fort Wayne, where she was visiting with her brother. Music at the rink tomorrow and Saturday nights. A large attendance is expected. Join the crowd. Mrs. F. L. DeVilbiss and Mrs. Fanny Cole of Lancaster, 0., are expected to arrive Saturday noon for a several weeks’ visit with relatives and friends. A special meeting of the city council was called for last evening, but owing to the absence of L. C. De Voss for the city and C. J. Lutz for the North Second street contractors the meeting was adjourned for a week and the special matters will be taken up at the next regular meeting. The individual who does not peruse the advertising columns of his paper with deliberate care is not looking well to his own interests.. The advertising is news in the way of advantage in the buying of needed articles and will more than pay the cost of the subscription to the paper. But ninetenths of the readers of a newspaper do not have time to save in the evening to study advertisements. So after all is said and done it is the evening paper that meets the requirements of both reader and advertiser. Around the evening lamp the two meet on common ground. One of the leading tenors in Moscow was called upon to sing an opera in which one note was much too high for him, but he got a man in the orchestra to come in just at the right time and supply the note. In exchange the tenor was to take him to supper. The plan worked well, the applause loud, but the tenor forgot all about the supper. Next time he sang the opera he went to the front of the stage, put his hand on his heart and opened his mouth as wide aS he could. His discomfiture was great when the expectant hush waS broken by a voice from the orchera saying, ■'Where’s my supper?”—lskra. Before another week the announcement may be expected from the big traction companies of the states of Ohio and Indiana as to just what policy they will pursue in the leasing of their lines for express purposes to the bidding old line companies. Strong arguments have been brought to, te?r upon the tractions to sub-lease express rights, and it is said all the syndicates have been offered greater financial inducements than the roads are now realizing out of their express traffic. But the formation of traction express company in which all traction lines will have stock is now being considered against the lease rights.
