ii J.CMostickl —JOBBER OF— ;i :: Cigars :• and Tobacco <► < > WEATHER. ture. Partly cloudy. Unchanged tempera. J. Davis of Willshire, was a bus. iness caller to our city today. Ross Johnson of Monroe, was a business caller to our city today. Joe Miller of Fort Wayne, was a business caller to our city today. The Elks and K. of C. will battle for supremacy this evening at the Palace bowling alleys. Mrs. Arthur Hall went to Hartford City today to visit for a few days with Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Meyers. ‘Red’ Knoff was arrested this morn, ing by Marshal Green on a charge of intoxication and was lodged in jail where he will be permitted to sober off. He will have his hearing tomorrow. \ Something doing at the Elk’s Hall tomorrow evening, and every Elk is requested to be present. Two candidates will be given the degree work and you cannot afford to miss the fun. The Rev. J. C. Dorwin, pastor of the Wheatland avenue Methodist Episcopal chuch at Loganpsort, formerly pator of the Simpson Methodist pastor of the Simpson Methodist signed his pastorate and will move to Sheldon. Wash. —Journal-Gazette. The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Lar. gent was held this morning at ten o’clock from the house, Rev. J. C. White officiating and a large crowd was present to pay their tribute of respect to the deceased. Interment was made in the Mt. Tabor cemetery. Mr. P. J. Pitts of St. Louis, Mo., a famous teacher of boxing, is in the city for the purpose of organizing a class. He has already secured a number of pupils among prominent business men. Mr. Pitts had a class here about fourteen year ago and was very successful. —Journal-Gazette. Three pipe liners were arrested last evening by Marshal Green on a charge of public intoxication and were lodged in jail. They were ar. raigned this morning before Mayor cAfee and plead guilty, being given the usual dose. Being unable to pay they went to jail and will board it with Sheriff Meyers. The musical given last evening under the auspices of the Pythian Sisters was attended by a large crowd and the entertainment was enjoyed by everyone. The music was classic and showed the musicians to be of a high standard. The readings of Miss Murray were enjoyed immensely by the audience and she was called back time and time again. The proceeds went to swell the funds of the Pythian Sisters. The horse sale Friuay gives promise of being the best sale the Horse Sale company has yet held. A large number of horses will be offered for sale and a number of out of town horsemen have promised to be present, Which insures the success of the same. The managers of this concern are working hard to make these sales successful and should be encouraged in their effort by every business man as they are a great benefit to our city.

That toiiioffow night at six o’clock my clean up sale ends. There are lots of good things left. We haven’t got all sizes of any one kind of shoes left but we can fit you in something. These shoes are worth a great deal more than I am asking for them but I must have room for spring goods. I had a letter from Krippendorf to day saying that my spring goode were shipped and to took for tbe nicest lot of shoes ever shipped to me I will tell you when I get them opened up.

George Ulmer has accepted a posi. tion on the Willshire Herald and is now engaged in carryng out his new duties. • Harry and Cordua returned last evening from a business trip through the gas belt, where they were looking for a place to engage in business. The city council will hold a special session this evening to take up some matters in relation to the issuance of bonds on the First and Second streets improvement. The session will not be a lengthy one. A law is to be passed in Alabama, making it a jail offense to play cards anywhere at any time for any sort of a prize. With county dispensaries to handle the liquor question, Alabama will be even better off with this antiprize card playing law. A strong-armed, strong-spirited Dutchman swam out to the Berlin with a lifeline, after the lifeboats had failed three times in succession, and brought three passengers safe on shore. Once more it must be admitted that it’s a tough proposition to beat the Dutch at anything. The auditor of state has instructed county auditors to say to all persons having deeds for release executed before the first of March, and assuming mortgage indebtedness, must have their deeds transferred and recorded before the first of March to entitle them to mortgage deduction on their taxes. Albert Ellis was given S2OO damages against the Clover Leaf railroad in his suit which was brought in the Grant Superior court and venued to the Kokomo Superior court. Ellis was employed on the section. He was on a hand car which ran into an open switch at Swayzee and was thrown from the car. The new machinery at the city light plant is being rapidly placed in position for use under the supervision of an expert from the factory and in all probability will be ready for use by the middle of March. The new machinery is of the latest pattern and the lighting capacity should be much better when the same is put into actual use. A short time ago a gentleman in Boston sent a small boy in his neighborhood to deliver a note to a young lady who lived a few blocks away. He gave the boy a quarter to make him hurry. After a short time the messenger came back, and handing the mo. ney, said, “Miss X says she will be glad to see you tonight, but she didn’t want the quarter.’’ Robert Woods, a negro in the county infirmary at Marion, is a freak, in that his feet are turning white. Woods is one of the razorbacks who came to Peru with the Hagenbeck shows and as his feet were frozen he was assisted to Marion by the Peruvians. He was placed in jail at the latter place; his feet being swollen so he was unable to walk. He claims his home is in the City of Mexico. The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year; the small boy can’t go swimming now, his life is stale and drear. Heaped in the hollows of his head are thoughts of outdoor joys that rustle with the school book leaves and tempt him to make a noise. His bat and ball are laffi aside, his face is washed snd clean; he stays in school six hours a day and feels almighty mean.

Friday a Wyoming paper printed the following love note, which one of its reporters picked up on the street; “Dear H.; I seen you in chirch Sun. day and I laffed at you, but you never Jaifed back, why not, would like to no? I still luve you and if you tirn me down for High-Pockets I will hog. tie him and bete his face up mean, so you better lass at me when I lass at you. You are my harts desyre but you can’t make no dam fule out of me* Yures ferevir, J. M,”

‘‘Never mind, Frank, i'll pay it, said Mrs. Byrkett, wife of the Rev. Frank Byrkett of Greentown in the court of Justice Mooreland at Kokomo, when her husband hesitated in paying $30.15 as a fine for wife deser. tion and offered to pledge securities. His wife had caused his arrest at Knightstown Monday, saying he had left her twice, taking $2,500 in securities and leaving her in need. Although he had told the prosecutor that his wife had made his home hotter than hades he had pleaded to avoid a more serious charge. He left the court room arm in arm with his wife. The Bluffton skaters literally took possession of the Decatur rink last night at the masquerade skating party and they had little trouble in doing so, as the Bluffton skaters outnumbered the Decatur skaters considerably. Bluffton people drove over and a few made the trip over the Clover Leaf. Arriving there they found one girl from Decatur on the floor in mask costume and a very few boys. When the prizes were awarded the judges gave the Decatur girl the prize probably for her boldness in coming out when she was the only one. The gentlemans' prize went to Jesse Robbins of this city—Bluffton Banner.

A blind man with a fiddle attracted the attention of our citizens today on the streets and reaped quite a harvest. The same man was here last week. Claude Platt and Luella Underwood were arrested yesterday at Wellington by a United States marshal charged with violating the postal laws by sending through the mails the curly tail of a pig The tail was wrapped in a satin lined box and now rests securely in the safe in the offices of District Attorney Sullivan. l*he Pictorium at present is being visited by large crowds, owing to the fact that they are offering a special attraction in connection with the regular show. They have secured the services of several vaudeville stars and they will remain tonight only. Those who have witnessed the performance pronounce it as being far above the average. The interurban car that starts from this city at six in the morning was delayed here for a half hour this morn, ing, owing to burning out a fuse. The damage was easily mended and the car wended its way to Fort Wayne with a fair load of passengers. The car made up fifteen minutes in ihe round trip and at noon came into this city right on the dot. Executive officials of the leading railroads have decided that less money is to be spent in beautifying the main lines and erecting ornamental structures and that the large sums of money heretofore expended for this purpose that will place the roads in a position to handle the increased business to a better advantage and to handle passenger trains with safety. The same galoot who orders his paper marked “refused,” at the postoffice, goes to church and joins in singing that beautiful hymn, “Jesus Paid it all,” until you can hear his voice three blocks. He has made assignment of his liabilities to the Lord. He will sing a different tune when he gets to that tropical climate where the feathers on his wings will scorch. The Eagles lodge which organized here last week will soon be located in their own quarters as they have two hall under consideration, one being the old Meibers hall and the other the hall over the Winens Shoe store. It is probable, however, that they will select the former, as it is a larger hall and better adapted for the workings of the order. Either, however, will make a nice home.

At length Kensas has done something besides produce sunflowers and populists. A Kansas judge held up a marriage ceremony until the lovely bride could keep a straight face and look seriously at the solemn ceremony being enacted. Let the good work go on, in other states besides Kansas. This marrying business judged by the overloaded divorce courts, is far from a laughing proposition. Several pasengers who have coma in on the interurban ja.t a late hour have become all mixed up when they got off the car and could not locate where they are at. Several instances of persons walking the opposite direction from which they desired to go has been sighted us. This is due to the fact that the car is always turned around at the power house and the passengers are hauled into the city riding backwards.

An ejectment proceeding was com. menced yesterday against Red Knoff in Squire Smith's court and was set for hearing this morning, but when Red was located he was found to ba beastly drunk and in no fit condition j to appear and was thrown into jail to sober up. Red is now up against it good and proper and will have to answer to two charges when he is I released, one for drunk and one to have him ejected from his present 10. cation. Tough luck. Red. A deal was consummated yesterday whereby M. F. Hunsikker sold hi.-* interest in the Smoke House to his partner E. E. DeWitt, the latter t’ak., 1 ing possession immediately. The deni was the result of a telegram Mr. Hunsicker received from Youngstown, offering him the superintendency of the electrical department in a big steel works. Mr. Hunsicker left for his home at Montpelier last evening and will go to Youngstown immediate, ly. Mr. DeWitt will continue to greet his old customers and any new ones who may fall upon him. An agent of the U. S. secret service has been in Toledo for several days past engaged in work of confiscating Cuts and advertising matter containing pictures of anything that in the remotest manner resembles Uncle Sam's silver and paper money. The amended laws prohibit the imitation of U. S. money in any manner whatever, and the provision is being rigidly enforc. ed by the government agents. This will also put an end to the use of stage money, and leads one to wonder what sort of a legal tender will bo used by the arch villian in bribing the hired assassin to chuck the fair maiden over a cliff in order that her beautiful form may be mutilated in the cruel rocks below. Probably a check book will answer just as well.

The remains of Leander Johnson, who died suddenly at the jail, were taken overland this morning to the Metzger church in Van Wert county where the last sad rites were performed and his remans laid to rest in the family burial plot. The bill making it legal for cities and towns to assess township and county property in the way of making public improvements where the property of either, is affected, has been passed by both branches of the legislature and it is now up to the governor for his ■ signature. This is the bill that the city dads have been waiting for the legislature to pass and the matter of pushing the Madison street improvement will be taken up as soon as the bill is signed.
