Mrs. Joe Tonnelier went to Fort Wayne this morning to be the guest of friends for the day. The St .Vincent de Paul society will give a progressive peanut party at the K. of C. Hall Monday afternoon. City Clerk C. O. France of this office, is very sick today with a severe attack of tonsilitis, and unable to attend to his various duties. Misses May Fryburger and Bernadette and Edna Goetz of Fort Wayne, arrived in the city this afternoon and will visit over Sunday with Miss Anna Clark. The school board met in regular session last night and discharged the regular routine of business, consisting of the allowance of bills and the ; teachers’ monthly salaries. Evangelistic services will commence in the Presbyterian church next Wednesday night. Rev. Dr. Henry Master of the First Presbyterian church of Fort Wayne, will assist Rev. Fowler in the services. Everybody cordially invited. Miss Lucile Locke is spending a few days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Del Locke. She is attending school at Glendale and went from there to Waterloo, 0., attending the funeral services of her grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Klotz and returning home with her parents last night.—Bluffton Banner. A gang of pipe lines, engaged in laying another 12-inch line from Preble this way, is camped between BluffI ton and Poneto. New pipe has been unloaded along the right-of-way and the Preble station will soon be one of the largest in the country from the point of quantity of oil handled. — Bluffton Banner. Mrs. Flora E. Miller of Kokomo, has filed suit for divorce against her i husband because he is “an inveterate but unsuccessful gambler.” Her petii tion alleges that her husband "is not ■ possessed of sufficient judgment to esi timate the commercial values of a pair of deuce.,, and he has been known | I to hazard heavy and persistently, 1 on an ace full when he had been noli-1 fled that hfs adversary was in open, I notorious and undisputed possession : of two pairs of queens.” There is every indication that the reign of the elbow sleeve is drawing to a close. The sleeves on the new . gowns are short but come well below ' the elbow, and the close fitting cuff of tucked chiffon and lace lengthens them still more. The fashion has been so exaggerated and caricatured that it has entirely lost any smart effect, excepting in some elaborate gown ‘ with which elbow sleeves are appropriate. For midsummer and in the r thin fabrics the fashion will revive 1 to certain extent, but fortunately its 1 popularity has proved its own undoing and ere long it will be numbered as a past fashion.

Fred Meyers returned to Berne today from a business trip to this city.' Miss Lyd*a 'f tiomas went to Berne today to visit Mies Myrtle Kizer over Sunday. Misses Bess Congleton and Eva Acker went to Geneva today to visit friends over Sunday. J. F. Nash of Berne, returned to his home this afternoon, from a business trip to this city. Mrs. Roe of Hudson, Im’., airived in the city today to visit J Chapman and family for fume time. Mrs. Watkins returned to her home at Monrbe today after visiting with i friends hue for a few days G.

Kern of Geneva, traveling representative for the Incandescent Light and Stove company, of Cincinnati, went to his home today for a visit with relatives. He didn't have a dollar; he didn't have a dime. His clothes and shoes were looking just as though they'd served their time. He didn’t try to kill himself to dodge misfortune’s whacks. Instead he got some ashes, and he filled five dozen sacks. Then, next he begged a dollar; in a paper in the morn, he advertised tin polish that would put the sun to scorn. He kept on advertising and just suffice to say; he’s out in California at his cottage on the bay. Manager Roberts of the Carmel base ball team was in the city this morning on his regular trip as traveling salesman for a clothing firm. He stated that owing to the loss of several of their stars to league teams, Carmel will probably not be represented on the diamond during the coming season. Last year's bunch was made up of local players and the salary list was not great and as the town will hardly support a paid aggregation the sport may become a dead one there. Charged with stealing a Lake Erie & Western locomotive, piece by piece, five Lima boys, all sixteen years, are confined to the county jail in that city, awaiting trial in the probate court. The locomotive had been run into a sidetrack in the yards, awaiting repairs at the shops before it could be sent out on the road again, | and the boys made raids on it at night. ! The railroads have been heavy sufferers from brass thieves and will make strenuous efforts to break up the gang.—St. Marys Leader. The next twelve months will wit-| hess the completion of the relaying of the Clover Leaf tracks bqfween Toledo and St. Louis. But fifty-six miles of track remain to be renewed and the company has already contracted for the rails. Seventy-five pound steel rails are being used. Track laying will be resumed as soon as the frost is out of the ground. The work of renewing the tracks of the road was begun soon after T. P. Shonts took hold as president of the company, and record-breaking time has been made on the improvements of some of the divisions. Additonal improvements will be made on the Toledo terminals the coming summer. The Kendallville News, weekly, and the Kendalville Daily News have been sold to Messrs. Michaelis and Gieselman of Logansport, who took charge of the plant and papers on Monday morning. The News was purchased by Harry L. Gandy, publisher of the Democrat, about eight months ago and on June 11, 1906, the daily was started. Kendallville is a good town and the News a good newspaper property but Mr. Gandy found that the work of managing two newspaper plants was more than he could do. * That Messrs. Michaelis & Gieselman will be successful in their new field of labor there is no doubt. Mr. Gandy will now give his attention to the Democrat.—Lagrange Democrat. A Boston firm recently offered a prize for the best definition of what constitutes success. A Kansas woman was awarded the prize, and this was her answer: “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little chidlren; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; •who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescue; who has never lacked appreciation of earth s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory is a benediction.”

Joseph Hocker returned to his home at Monroe today after transacting business in this city. Miss Stella Leas of Waerloo, arrived in the city today and will spend Sunday with friends. The cold snap seems to be broken and rains are looked for next week, causing more flood disasters. Fred Schafer and wife left for Chicago last evening. Mrs. Schafer and Mrs. C. C. Shcafer will leave that city for Denver, Monday. Quite a party of young people will attetd the rink tonight. This popular place .of amusement will probably close for the season next week. The interurban brought in many farmers today and those who live j along the line are just beginning to I recognize the advantage thereof. | L. G. Ellingham arrived this afternoon from Indianapolis, where he was ■ attending the Editorial Association mid-winter session this afternoon. Mrs. Gillette has abandoned her son to his fate, electrocution, for the murder of his sweetheart. She believes him guilty and will not try to save him. They formerly lived in Fort Wayne. The Albert Spuiler farm south >jf the city was purchased today by Martin Miller for the sum of $7,000. Mr Miller now has one of the best improved farms near the city. The deal was consummated by the Snow Agency. George Ulmer has secured the contract for advertising in the Fort Wayne & Springfield company’s cars and will soon have the overhead spaces filled with attractive signs. If you want a card, call on or phone Mr. Ulmer at this office. Tom Ehinger, who for several years has held a responsible position at the First National bank, has accepted a position in the office of F. M. Schirmeyer, where he will have charge of the loan, abstract and telephone books. He will enter upon his new duties Monday morning. The bowling contest at Bluffton last night between the Elks’ teams, resulted in a victory for Bluffton, by a margin of 76 pins on the three games. Fred Vaughn made the high score of the evening, it being 217, and the averages of the team members were: Vaughn 161, Frisinger 145, Mangold 154, Fritzinger 140, Schafer 147. The Decatur team won the last game of the series, the total score of the team being 805 pins, and this was the highest team score made. The fact that the Elks had 26 splits in the three games account for their defeat. The same teams will play here week after next. All wood should be removed from a sink, according to Good Housekeeping, and replaced with a pored ain sink, back and sides; that being too I expensive, then use slate, zinc or copper. The material should be absolutely impervious to moisture ’and without paint, which only wears off and leaves an untidy surface. Moderrt plumbers use iron instead of lead I pipes, almost entirely, and yet, by care, the old lead ones may continue to serve. Frequent flushing of the. sink is an absolute necessity for perfect freedom from danger. It should I be done with very hot water, but foli lowed by a little cold water, lest the heat cause a vacuum and draw the water off the trap, leaving it open for gases to escape through the outlet of the sink. The treatment should be applied to every fixture in a house after the cleansing process.

The arrival of a baby girl in a basket at the home of R. L. Jenkins, residing at 1532 North E street, caused some speculation and talk in the neighborhood and a sensational article in a local paper. It was learned that the babe had been left there by the physician who recently left the same child at the Bell home, after a babe had been born to the famlfy and died. The Bells accepted the infant and thought they would keep it, later changing their mind and permitting it to be transferred to the Jenkins’ home where the little one will be well cared for. Mr. Jenkins has a grown son by a previous marriage, but no child by the present one. His wife is devoted to home and welcomed the arrival of the babe. The parentage of the child cannot be ascertained. No record has been made of its birth at the local office of the board of health, and following the story of such proceedings in Elwood it is said that the county health board will investigate. —Elwood correspondence in Muncie Star. .. • NOTICE.
