By a vote of 4 to 2 the Kendallville city council has agreed to comply with the conditions necessary to secure a donation from Andrew Carnsgie for the erection of a free public library. John Mitchell, long a prominent citizen there, is donating a site, other citizens contribute SISOO in cash and the Flint & Walling Manufacturing company agrees to maintain a technical section in the library’. The horse sale to be held Friday at the Boch & Rice stables on First street, promises to be a big affair and a large number of horses have already been secured for the same. Buyers from all the eastern markets will be present and the opportunity to sell good horses at good prices will be fine. The farmers who have good horse flesh for sale should take advantage of these sales and get their horses in presentable condition. If you think your are smart and well informed, answer a few of the following questions: You have seen hundreds of white horses. Why did you never see a white colt? Why does a horse eat grass backward and a cow forward? Why does a hop vine wind to the left and a bean vine to the right? Why does a horse when staked out by a rope always unwind the rope and a cow winds it up into hard kinks? Why does a horse get up on his front feet first and a cow on her hind legs? Why does a dog always turn around three times before he lies down.

Sam Henry Post No. 41, W. R. C., will give a public dinner in the G. A. R. ball on Saturday, February 16. Chicken ;ie and a great many other good things v. hich we will tell you about later on. Press Correspondent. Harry Straub and Frank Hackman had a little scrap Saturday evening that may result in both of these gentlemen having to answer to a charge of assault and battery. What the racket started over we were unable to find out. The power house boiler on the Wm. Raison farm in East Nottingham township, Wells county, exploded last Thursday, but, fortunatly, no damage was done except the destruction of the boiler and a horse being severely scalded. An affidavit was filed in Mayor Coffee's court this morning against Lase Ellis, charging him with violating the liquor law and the case will be heard some time this evening. The affidavit was filed by Marshal Green who is watching up the Sunday business very closely. A jury in the Huntington circuit coutr assessed a fine of $125 against George Dailey, proprietor of a “blind tiger" in Roanoke. The verdict' was on a grand jury indictment returned in October, charging him with selling liquor without a license. Three other indictments of the same kind stand against him. “Whitey” Bremerkamp and John Brake got into a little altercation Saturday evening that resulted in both young men getting beaten up in a bad shape. The practice of fighting on Saturday evening is becoming regular in Decatur and Marshal Green says he is going to break it up. Affidavits against both young men may follow. Sam Helm and Lawrence Green were arrested Saturday evening by Marshal Green on a charge of assault and battery and both young men were arraigned before the mayor this morning, both pleading guilty and being assessed a fine of a dollar and costs. The fight started over some trivial matter and the boys were separated before any serious damage was done to either. Both stayed the docket and were discharged. A farmer was the father of twelve children, all of whbm had been rocked in the same cradle by the same great toe. He was rocking the latest arrival one evening when his wife remarked: “John, that cradle is nearly worn out; it’s so rickety I’m afraid it will fall to pieces.” “It is about used up,” replied her husband. Then, handing her $lO, he added: “The next time you go to town get a new one, a good one, one that will last.” Another dinner of yesterday was that given by Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Vesey in honor of the fifty-fourth anniversary of their marriage. The glossy foliage and delicate pink blossoms of the veranda plant added color and charm to the table decorations. Covers were laid for -Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Vesey, Judge and Mrs. W. J. Vesey, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Vesey, Miss Margaret Vesey, Miss Katharine Vesey, Miss Simison of Berne, Ind., Miss Gill and Miss Helen Gill of Lancaster, Ky., Mr. John Vesey and Mr. David Vesey.—Journal-Gazette. An exchange prints a fishy story about a father sneaking oft to work without waking his son and the boy remonstrating because his father had tip-toed about so carefully lest he disturb his slumber. Now, every sane person knows that father does exactly the opposite in the morning! He calls Willie seven times in an affectionate tone of voice. Then he raises the pitch and, later on, the covers and gives Willie what raddy gave the drum. A good way to get a boy up in the morning is to tie his big toe to the bed post with a string. Then throw the cat in his face and holler “Fire!" This was never known to fail but once, and then the string broke.

W. S. Hughes left Sunday for New ! Mexico, on an extended business trip.! President C. S. Niblick of the Old j Adams County Bank Is on the sick | list, suffering from an attack of kid- | ney trouble. •| Ed Vancil is again able to resume his duties as a traveling salesman, after several weeks lay off because of a broken arm. He started out on his regular territory this morning. The local bowling team Is preparing to leave Thursday for Portland, where they will bowl that strong | aggregation. The boys are practicing daily and expect to come home with , the goods. The Business Men’s Protective As-. sociation will hold a meeting this evening at the Commercial Club at seven thirty o’clock. Several matters of importance will be taken up and considered. I Henry McLain, while on a little i “toot” Sunday morning, fell on the i sidewalk and injured his ankle in , such away that he had to be assisted to his rooms and a doctor summoned. He is quite a bad shape. A retired farmer who moved into an ' lowa town was much wroth one morning recently to find that some one had stolen his cow during the night. He immediately called at the local newspaper office and inserted an advertisement announcing that the thief I was known and unless he returned j the cow at once, prosecution would follow. Imagine his surprise the following morning to find that not only the cow had been returned but with her a frisky new calf. The retired farmer is now' telling everybody about town that it pays to advertise. The Grand Rapids & Indiana road took advantage of Sunday and last night had its full equipment of crews and rolling stock moving freight in both directions out of Fort Wayne. The company procured a few engines from the Pennsylvania road to furnsh power for its trains of loaded freight, and all engines were taxed 10 per cent above the “B” rating in their tonnage capacity. The freight had become congested at the local end of the road and the step was necessary to the relief of the prevailing conditions. —Joumal-Gazete. The Jesamine, Ky., Journal says: In marrying, if the average young man will select for his wife a companion that can go into the kitchen and turn a batter cak, or wring off the head of a chicken, or milk a cow tn case of necessity, his life will be one of sunshine and happiness. Boys, unless you have a large bank account and a big income, don’t tie yourself to one of these up-to-date girls who sings for you in the parlor, while her mother, perhaps, is making new dresses for the daughter. Such a wife would be as a millstone tied about the neck of a man with a small income. Horsemen in this county say that horses are in such demand in the • county it is impossible to buy any for shipment at any price that will allow profit. There is a great scarcity of good mares in the rural districts. The prices of horses, as a class, is said to be advancing at the rate of ten to fifteen d"ollars per month. In the eastern markets buyers are waiting for horses to get cheaper. Soon the easterners will awake to the fact that the surplus has been taken by the rural demand and then a scramble will begin. It appears now that a good horse in the stable is as staple as a United States bond. An effort is being made by local bowlers for a bowling tournament to be held in Van Wert. Favorable word has been received from Decatur and it is possible that the event will take place, but it is not probable. Fort Wayne has, through Mr. McKay, proprietor of the Brunswick alleys, responded rather discouragingly. He says that the older and best bowlert will participate in the St. Louis tour nament which vetoes all attention toward one here. Lima, Celina, Portland, Ind., and a number of other places have not yet been heard from and if they report favorably there is a possibility of a Van Wert Bowling tournament, otherwise not. —Van Wert Times. To prevent a surveying corps from running lines through his farm J. F. Eichhorn, not far from Markle, turned a vicious bull on the C., B. & C. railroad engineers, and put them to flight. The men, armed with the necessary papers, started across the Eichhorn farm, tearing down fences in order to place their instruments. The line brought the party near the barn and when the owner asked them what they were doing he was prompt in telling them to go. Later explanations were made and he was shown their authority. Eichhorn stepped into the barn, opened a door and then got out of the way. There rushed forth a vicious bull and the five or six men in the party tore for tall timber. Then persuasion was used with Mr. Eichhorn and the survey was made later, but not until the bull* was barred in.
