Tl)e Ice has already formed a considerable thickness and will with a few more zero days be ready to be operate upon. The trains on all the railroads are running some late at present, owing to the cold snap which makes fast running impossible owing to the danger bf the track spreading or other miAo’r things that would endanger the lives of those who use the road for traveling purposes. However, when watm weather sets in the trains will again resume running on schedule time. ‘ i ov A modern dude with narrow striped clothes, saddle colored shoes, a loud necktie, hair parted over his nose, and, smoking a cigarette, addressed his best, girl thus: “If you was me and I was you, what w-ould you do?” She hesitatingly said with a smile: "I would take off that hideous tie, put that cigarette in the stove, part my hair on one side, then pray to God for brains.' Attorneys Peterson & Moran, attorneys for George E. McKean, informed us this morning that they had written Judge Aiken to have their case against .the city of Decatur set down for trial as soon as possible and inform them of the date. This is the same case that the jury disagreed upon last week at Fort Wayne. The case is an interesting one and now involves considerable costs. A commission merchant received a consignment of butter from a farmer and it was very strong, so he thought he would put up a job on the farmer, and wrote him as follow: Dear sir: — Your butter is not strong enough for the axle grease maker and is too strong for any domestic use. Kindly send me. sixty pounds of butter that will stand alone. Two days later he received byexpress a billy goat.

As soon as these attachments are completed the interurban will be able to make their runs without any interruption

A lady from Higginsport who did not understand the language of railroaders was at the depot on day while a freight train was being made up. As the teain as being backed up one of the brakemen called out to the other: “Jump on her when she goes by; run her down beyond the elevator and cut her in two and bring the head end up at the depot.” The young lady jumped up and down and yelled “Murder” as loud as she could. It took all the persuasive power of Agent James to convince her that the railroad men were not addressing her. —Exchange An Indiana editor, who has taken time, despite his heavy duties as a “molder of public opinion,” to keep track of his material and mental progress during the year, offers the following summary of his gains and losses: Been broke 300 times, had money 65, praised by the public 6, damned by the public 134, asked to drink 18, refused 0, missed prayer meeting 52, been roasted 31, roasted others 52, washed the office towel 3, missed my meals 0, taken for a preacher 11, taken for a capitalist 0, found money 0, taken baths 6, delinquent subscribers paid 27, did not pay 436, pain in conscience 0, got whipped 0. whipped other fellows 8, cash on hand beginning of year $1.47, cash on hand at present 67 cents.

, *Ed Phillips returned today from Lima. 0., where he was visiting with [Mr. and Mrs. Will Phillips. I The Elks and Postoffice teams will I bowl their regular scheduled game this evening at the Palace alleys. ■Every member of each pin should be present. Work on the packing house has been I delayed for several days owing to the ■ fact that' the laborers ran out of brick. I However, a fresh supply will be on hand shortly and the building will be I rushed to completion. The building I will be a” good substantial structure and will be a credit to the city. Mann & Christen, the contractors, have completed their contract at Na|poleon, 0., that of erecting a big high ; school building and the employees all | returned home and have taken up othler contracted jobs for the firm. The school building was an up-to-date ' structure and the contractors were given muc hcredit by the citizens of that city for the manner in which they handled the same. The Madison street improvement at present is at a stand still owing to the fact that a flaw has been found in the law and according to the meaning of the same now ,the city could not assess the court house lot.

Frank Burger, who was injured in a railroad acicdent a few days ago, is reported as being some better today. Manager Klein of the bowling alleys has succeeded in getting up another two men tearfl contest and the games will be rolled this week. These con-, tests have caused considerable interest and bid fair to out rival the city league. The contest this time is divided into two classes and already fifteen teams have signified tbsir intention to enter the contest. All preparations have now been completed for the big horse ijale to be held Friday at the Boch & litre stables on First street, and the sale this week promises fair to outshine the one given a week ago: The proprietors of this gigantic concern have been scouring the Country for horses and have succeeded in- corraling a nice bunch. The farmers who now have horses to sell ' should groom them for this sale as they will be in a position to get the : best market price for them. The Pictorium was crowded this afternoon by those desiring to get a squint at the Gans-Nelson prize fight pictures and from w hat we can learn w’ere well repaid for the time spent. The pictures are a clean cut exhibition of the fight as put up by those famous fighters, but do not. very clearly disclose when the foul blow was struck which cost Nelson the fight, and it was the opinion of those who saw’ the pictures, that Siler, the referee, erred. Everyone is praising the show and you should attend. The admission is en cents.
