♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ WEATHER. Fair in north portion. Rain or snow in south. Sunday, cold wave. Temperature to drop 50 degrees by Sunday morning. Ed Vancil returned today from a business trip to Fort Wayne. Earl Peters went to Waterlo today to spend Sunday with friends. A. Van Camp returned today from a business trip to Fort Wayne. Mrs. Stair of Bluffton passed through our city today, en route to Berne. Miss Smith, who works at the Boston Store, is still on the sick list. -Miss Hess returned today from Ft. Wayne, where she was visiting with relatives. Will Miesse returned today from Plymouth and will spend a few days with friends. Miss Reinking returned today from Fort Wayne, where she was visiting with relatives. Mrs. Wesley Hoffman and Miss Edna Hoffman went to Berne today to spend Sunday with Mrs. Eugene Runyon. There is no question but that Mr. Ground Hog saw his shadow today, and if all predictions are true, we are in for six weeks more of winter. J. W. Sheets of Bodkins, 0., passed through our city today, en route to Berne, being called there by the serious illness of Mrs. Andrew Gottschalk. A party of young folks of this city are contemplating going to Ft. Wayne tomorrow by the interurban route to attend the show at the Majestic theater. They can leave here at noon and get back at midnight. The Bluffton Banner of yesterday, had a very neat article concerning Tom Railing. What surprises us is that Bluffton will acknowledge that Railing is the real thing when it comes to pitching. Nevertheless, we imagine their past experience taught them this. The street commissioner was busily engaged today in cleaning the brick streets, so that pedestrians could get from one side of the street to the other. The recent thaw made this necessary and as soon as possible an effort will be made to clean all of the brick streets. According to word sent out from Washington the government purposes in the future, to know exactly what kind of foreigners are desirious of becoming citizens of the United States. It is the object of the ■ immigration bureau to have a federal lawyer present at the hearing in each common pleas court of any foreigner who wishes to become naturalized. A small fire broke out at eight o’clock this morning in the residence of J. N. Frlstoe on Mercer avenue, but was put out before any apparent damage was done. In fact, the • alarm had no more than been sent in until the alarm that the fire was out ’ was sounded. The fire department did have time enough to even get started. How the fire originated we are unable to say.

Mrs. Bushnell went to Berne today to spend Sunday with her daughter, Mrs. Braun. Mrs. John Hessler returned today from Fort Wayne, where she was visiting with her mother. Rev. Hessert and wife went to Berne today to visit over Sunday. While thereßev. Hessert will assist in the installation of Rev. Kattmann, the German Reformed minister. The farmer who finds a mink or other fur-bearing animal “monkeying around’’ within 200 feet of his chicken coop may go out and slay the intruder with impunity, but if he goes into the woods and kills fur bearing animals he may have to pay $5 for each animal “so shot, trapped or destroyed." This is in substance the desired effect of a bill introduced by Senator Wickwire. Attorneys Abe Simmons, F. C. Dailey, Devi Mock and W. H. Eichhorn are home from Indianapolis, where yesterday they made the second oral argument of the Studabaker-Fay-lor case before the appellate court. The three former are attorneys for Faylor and Mr. Eichhorn for D. D. Studabaker. It will be several days before a decision will be handed down by the court. —Bluffton Banner. Two bachelor girls were in the postoffice recently talking about the men. One remarked that she wouldn't marry a man who swore or drank, chewed or smoked tobacco. The other said that all that kind had married long ago, and If she didn’t change her mind she'd always be an old maid. Both are thinking about the matter. Future development will show whether or not they will hold to their ideals. It is said that a Kansas City man has just recently succeeded in getting a patent on an electric metor fastened on a cow’s back, the electricity being generated by a dynamo attached to her tail. It strains the milk and hangs up the strainer. A small phonograph accompanies the outfit and yells “Co!” when the cow moves. If she kicks a hinged arm catches the milk stool and lams her over the back. The lid that was screwed down so tight by the ministerial association and the mayor at Montpelier has been loosened up as it seems that the people of that place could not stand the pressure. The Montpelier Herald in commenting on the various newspaper mentions given the town regarding situation says it is the first time the town has been brought before the public’s attention since the oil boom several years ago. All those who are contemplating joining the Eagles lodge are requested to be present tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock at the city offices opposite the Murray Hotel. All the preliminaries will at this time be closed up and those desiring to go in as charter members should be on band. A large list has already been signed up and the order promises to start off with a good list. Remember the hour —two o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Mrs. Fast, who resides on Fifth street, suffered an attack of nervous prostration last evening while attending the services at the Mission and for a time her condition was serious. She was taken to the D. M. Hensley residence and Dr. Beavers summoned and she was unable to be removed until nearly twelve o'clock, when she was taken to her home. She is reported as being some better this morning and will no doubt soon be herself again. An elevator in a Chicago sky scraper fell fifteen stories the other day and the elevator boy being in the car fell with it. Miraculously he escaped injury, and as he crawled from the debris a minister was the first to greet him. “Are you hurt, my son?” he asked. “Naw,” replied the boy, "never touched me.” “The Lord was surely with you, then,” said the minister. “Well if he was,” replied the young man of the ups and downs, “he was surely going some.” Marshal Green took a hand last evening in quieting some of the disturbance that has been occurring at the Mission services of late, and ejected some people who were becoming too boisterous. A church is not the place for raising a disturbance and Marshal Green is determined he will stop it if he is compelled to use the law upon those who Insist in carrying on in this manner. He put several out of the meeting last evening, after which everything assumed a more quiet nature. After eluding the officers all day yesterday, Fred Blazer was captured by Officers Ed Green and Sam Frank last night at twelve o'clock at his home on Sawdust avenue, he being found in bed at that time. He was lodged in jail and was arraigned before Squire J. H. Smith this morning to answer to a charge of provoke and plead guilty and was assessed a fine of a dollar and costs, amounting in all to nine dollars and thirty cents. Being unable to settle the amount or give security, he was returned to jail where he will board it out with Sheriff Meyer.

The Decatur interurban line did a flourishing business on the first day of its existence as a public carrier, and every Incoming and outgoing car yesterday was well filled. —Journal-Ga-zette. “Zeke” Boyd of Laporte, who has signed a contract which insures his services to the Augusta, Ga., team for the coming season, has received orders to report early in March for the spring practice. The season will open April Ist. —Valparaiso Messenger. Boyd is the left-hander that pitched for Bluffton last season. A young man by the name of Brown who resides in the north part of the city, had the distinction this morning of capturing a real live eagle. The capture was made with a steel trap, the bird having one foot caught. The eagle was boxed up after a hard fight and Mr. Brown had it on exhibition on the street this morning. The bird is of the gray eagle species and is a very large one. Mr. Frederic Jack, a leading orotorio tenor singer of New York City, will sing at both the morning and evening services at the Presbyterian church tomorrow’. Mr. Jack has a fine cultured voice of wide range and it will be a treat to hear him. He has a reputation in the east that is unexcelled and the Decatur people will thus be afforded the opportunity to hear one of the leading tenor singers of the country. You should attend one or both of these services and listen to this great tenor. For over a week a Huntertown young man has been sleeping and all efforts to arouse him have failed. His name is ' arl Hippenhamme •. He fell while sotfng on January 22, striking his head rgainst a projection in the ice and ’r.flicting a Slight wound, somec ling similar to the scratch of a pin. lie returned home thinking nothing of it, but a short time later went to sleep, since which time he has, with the exception of one five-minute period, slumbered peacefully despite the treatment of physicians and others. N. A. Loch of the Decatur Hardware Company, is loud in his praise of the interurban and says it is the best thing for Decatur people that ever could have happened and to back up his argument, he gives the folowing example: He went to Fort Wayne on the six o’clock car, purchased some goods that were needed at his store, brought his purchases with him, arriving here at twelve o’clock, and at one o'clock had disposed of the goods to several customers. He says the trip was made without a hitch and says the line is bound to prove a winner.

Hartford City fans held a meeting last night and organzied a base ball association. They are raising money to guarantee a team’s expenses throughout the coming season and will start at once signing players for the spring try-outs. Bluffton will yet be in the game, but the boys here do not feel that there is any great rush. Last year they waited till the fever was at the right heat and organized the best team in the state, went through the season with a clean record and came out at the end of the time with money to the good.—Bluffton Banner. A Bolton man, according to the London Globe, who accidentally fell into a pond the other night, appears to have come to a wise decision, though rather slowly. “I sank six or seven times,” he said, “and then I thowt it wor time I started swimmin’.” It will probably be remembered that the Scotsman who fell into the river snatched at a floating bottle. “What’s the guid o' strugglin’?” demanded his friend from the bank. “Ye’ve been doon three times already. Ye’d better let hand o’ the bottle." “I dinna want tae let go o’ the bottle,” cried the J drowning man; “it’s full of whuskey.” 1 Number Five, on the Clover Leaf, due here at 9:12 in the evening, met with an accident last evening at Ohio City, in the shape of breaking a drawbar between the baggage car and the | engine. The damage was repaired by hitching the train to the engine I with several heavy chains and the run was made to this city without a hitch. ■ When they attempted to stop at the depot, however, they had some trouble, as they had no air and the train ran past the depot several hundred ' feet, before a stop could be made, i The damage was repaired here and ■ the train started on her usual run an hour late. D. M. Hensley has on exhibition in his already well filled display window, a new specimen which in all probability, is the only animal of this kind killed in this section for years. The animal is an ermine of the very rarest specimen, and was killed east of this city by a dog. The animal is pure white, with just a little tip of black on its tail and it answers in every description with the definition set forth in Webster’s dictionary. The fur of this animal is the most expensive on the market and is used principally in making the robes of the royal families of the old country. Stop and take a look as you go by.
