The deputy state commander of the Ladies of Maccabees lodge, was in the city yesterday and left this mornin/ for Marion, where she will assist ir! initiating a class of candidates. Samuel Wyatt left today on an extended business trip. He has embarked in the picture business and will visit Huntertown .Auburn. St. Joe and other towns in that vicinity before returning. Tue pike running through Vera Cruz is impassible ft that noint and also between Newville and the bridge, the water is seven feet deep, making it utterly impossible to travel on that thoroughfare. Miss Bert Fullenkamp received a letter from Miss Bertha Hart, who is stenographer in the state house, stating that she was getting along fine. Her work is meeting the hearty approval of all concerned and thus bespeaks much for her future success. .. T. L. Miller, the new Clover Leaf agent, took charge of the Bluffton office today. He moved here with his family from Decatur several days ago, but the traveling auditor did not check out W. H. Pletcher and put Mr. Miller in charge until today.—Bluffton News. The Sunday closing law is certainly being enforced at Montpelier, and has also been observed according to an account in the Hartford City News, except by one, J. P. Horton, the newsdealer, who persisted in selling newspapers on the Sabbath day. An affidavit was filed against him a fewdays ago, and no doubt this will put a damper on his Sunday sales.

True stock, one-half of which he purchased. Mrs. William Reed returned to her home at Portland this afternoon, from a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Lawrence, at Williams.

Postmastr Frisinger has unclaimed letters fer Mrs. Vina Cusue, Mrs. A. M. Crane, Robert C. Garoin, M. R. Shipler and Abedia L. Shippey. Judge Erwin will attend the session of legislature this week and incidently meet some- of the boys he knew back in the early nineties when he served this district in the house. There was absolutely nothing doing about the court house today, owing to the fact that vacation id on in circuit court. The various officials and clerks were making up routine entries and reports. It looks probable that Ft. Wayne will secure the Evansville franchise in the Central base ball league. With the interurban running this probably means a blow to the sport locally, as a salaried team will barely be supported. Dame Winter seems to be making an awful battle to retain her! grip, but Old Sol seems to be gaining a little. As yet there are no signs of .an jee harvest and with the vast amount of water the mercury will have to fail considerable to have any effect. Quite a number of the business men met Mr. Franklin at the Commercial Club last evening, and beard 'his story about the Kenton Rubber Company, at Kenton, Ohio. Should he arrange for a necessary extension of ,time, his proposition will be investigated.
Another chapter of the history es Adams county, from a paper prepared for the Ladies’ Historical Club has reached our desk and will be published soon. Its subject is “Early Educational Struggles in Adams County,” and it is full of interesting facts. Some one has discovered the reason w-hy engines are called “she,” and the explanation is: They wear a jacket, an apron, have shoes and draw a train behind them, they have a lap, need guides, ride wheels, and will not turn out for pedestrians, some times foam and refuses to work and always attracts men. The suit of George E. McKean against the city of Decatur, sent back from the supreme court for a new trial here, was- up before Judge John H. Aiken as special judge in the superior court.. The aption is to recover Salaryalleged to be due from the city for work done several years . ago.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. Mr. Cleery, rural route tnspectqjr, is here and will travel aver every route out of the Bluffton office. Any found too long or too hard to get ovef '6n account of bad roads will be changed and several routes will probably be cut down. He will also see that all boxes comply with the government’s requirements.—Bluffton News. There is a history connected with the evergreen tree which was uprooted in the L. S. Kapp yard by the wind on Saturday night. The tree was planted in 1872 by Dr. L. A. Spaulding at the time he was a student attend?’? medical college. He was doing ccvassingwork to help make his w? • through college and sold trees o' e summer. He sold the evergreens t ■ Mrs. Kapp and when he delivered th-” he also planted them in the yard -Bluffton News. Loa’i Heilbroner is making a despera< effort to break into the Central Leag: n His plan is to buy the franchise of one of the present cities and transfer it to Ft. Wayne. It is now predicted that Evansville will be the town to drop out to make room for Ft. Wayne. Heilbroner is an experienced base ball man and has a wide acquaintance among players. Should he put a team in Ft. Wayne, he would make an effort to get together a bunch of winning players.—Columbia City Post.

John and Frances Fortman passed through the city today, en route to their home at Avilla. They have been visiting at Kalida, O. Mr. and Mrs. John Williams will leave this evening for the east to visit'Mrs. Williams' brother and sister at New Philadelphia and Uhricksvilie, O. The remodeling of the Old Adams County bank is nearing completion and it certainly is a business place of which Decatur citizens may feel proud. J. H. Beatty has written the Berne Witness from Indian Territory, where himself and wife have been located since last May. According to his description, that territory and now state of Oklahoma, is a great country, and is making astonishing strides in development. Mr. S. M. Foster, president of the Lincoln National Life insurance company, went to Indianapolis yesterday to address the insurance committees of both the house and senate on legislature pertaining to the control of insurance companies by the state.—Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. 3 A decision rendered last week by the appellate court in a case against the railroad commission is regarded by some lawyers as an indication that the act of 1905, creating the state railroad commission will be declared unconstitutional. In fact, the court's ruling intimates that such a position is tenable, but as the question of constitutionality was directly involved, no opinion was given. •In the senate Mr. Mattingly has introduced a bill that provides that the township trustee shall set aside 5 per cent of all road fund moneys as an emergency fund for the improvement of rural route roads; also that officials who have charge of such roads may build bridges and culverts, even though there be no special appropriation. and that the expense shall be paid out of the county treasury.
The Northern Indiana Hospital for the Insane is surrounded by the water and the hospital is cut off from communication, through fallen telephone wires and flooded roads. There is no danger to the patients, who are housed in buildings on the crest of the hill. A third of the city is cut off from the rest of the town save for a hastily constructed bridge a foot wide across Biddle's island. Bridges in Cass county are still safe, but workmen are guarding the newly built bridges of the Logansport & Lafayette interurban day and night.—Frankfort Crescent. A queer story is told on Squire Smith, about an incident that happened yesterday. It goes as follows: The squire was telling a story to the boys at his office yesterday that fairlymade the hair raise bn the heads of the awe-stricken auditors, and at the most exciting, part of the story, as the squire was acting the story out with fitting gestures, the shade of an electric light brqke square in two and fell to the floor. The puzzling part of the affair is that the shade was twentyfive feet from any person in the building and unless the vibrations from Squire Smith s motions were too strong for the brittle shade, an explanation from a philosopher is in order. A business deal has been consummated in which J. A. Habegger & Co., disposed of their feed stable to Smith Shoemaker. Mr. Shoemaker will continue the stable, which has become quite popular w-ith the farmers, especially so since the construction of the brick street. The J. A. Habegger Co. will be known a'fter this as the Habegger Horse Co. They hav traded their coach horse on a Percheon horse I that they secured from Emanuel Kohli ■bf Bluffton, Ohio, and have also purchased another Belgian from Frisinger !& Co., of Decatur. The company are now the proprietors of five as good horses as were ever exhibited by anyone company in the county except • dealers. The company has leased that | part of the buildings which was form-j erly occupied by their large horses and where they can be seen. Berne is surely gaining a reputation for excellent draft horses. —Berne Witness.
