Mrs. Compton returned to her home at Indianapolis this morning, after making a pleasant visit here with Mr. and Mrs. C. F. True. Mrs. William Battling and child of Rockford, Ohio, who visited her fath-er-in-law, George Bartling and family, four miles west of this city, went to Decatur, Monday, for a few days' visit wiht other relatives before returning home. —Portland Sun. The case of George E. McKean vs. the city of Decatur has been set dawn for trial in the Allen Superior court on March fourteenth. This is the case that was tried some time ago, in which the jury disagreed. There is some talk of settling the case before it comes to trial. Invitations were received by a number of people in this city announcing the wedding of Miss Stella Leas of Waterloo, Ind., to Mr. Earl Peters of this city. The happy event is to take place at the home of the bride in Waterloo. They expect to maketheir future home in this city. The commissioners have refused to dismiss E. J. Walters as road superintendent in Rockcreek township on the petition of a number of farmers. It is understood that the petition was circulated because Walters had issued strict orders against heavy hauling when the roads were soft. —Bluffton News. While skating near his home, the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Pletcher, near South Whitley, fell and a stick which he carried in his hand, gouged out the lad’s eye, the eyeball lying completely out upon his cheek. Surgeons who were hurriedly summoned, replaced the optic and have hope of saving the eye. Marsh Burdg has rented the Wilder building near the Chicago & Erie railroad and is fitting the same up and expects to open a b-iroer shop by the first of next week. Mr. Burdg is one of the eteran ba tors of our city and ha -, a reputation of being one of our best and you can bet that he will do considerable business in his line. The room is being remodeled and will make a very attractive shop. We are in receipt of a copy of the momentous decision made by Judge Samuel R.

In support of his opinion Judge Artman presents a great array of supreme court decisions in various states. The Artman decision has been printed in neat pamphlet form by the Patriot Phalanx. Indianapolis, for five cents a copy, ten for 30 cents.

Calvin Miller made a business trip to Winchester today. Mrs. W. H. Llndsley and daughter returned today from Dowagiac, Mich., where they were visiting with relatives and friends. Beecher Meibers is today celebrating his fiftieth birthday in an appropriate manner and his old schoolmate John Yager is making great preparations for his fiftieth birthday which comes tomorrow. These boys are certainly getting to be old landmarks. The Keller Incubator factory is now running ful force and a force of men are kept busy making these famous incubators. The orders are coming thick and fast which alone speaks volumes for the ability of the machine. The season will open in a short time and those desiring to raise chickens in bunches are getting their orders in for their machines at an early date. It would certainly pay you to visit this plant. While the temperance people of Van Buren lay sleeping on their oars yesterday, the Grant county commissioners granted five liquor licenses to as many applicants and that many thirst parlors will be opened "up in the oil village. It has been over a year since booze was sold in Van Buren in the regular way, though there has been more or less blind tiger business according to reports sent out from time to time. It is claimed the temperance forces will contest the granting of the licenses. John Andrews was arrested last evening by Constable Frank Smith at his home near Monroe, on a charge of permitting hogs which had died of cholera to lay about his home, which was injurious to the public health. The affidavit was sworn to by James Waggoner in Squire Smith's court. Andrews gave bond for his appearance in the squire’s court Saturday morning at nine o'clock, when the case will be fully heard and determined. The offense is one that ’s punishable by a heavy fine. Governor Hanly has signed the pure food bill, which the state board of health after ten years of persistent effort, succeeded in getting through the legislature, and it is now unlawful to manufacture or sell adulterated food or drugs in the state of Indiana. The bill contained an emergency clause and became a law the minute it was signed. The bill not only makes it unlawful to manufacture or sell adulterated food and drugs in the state, but it provides for an annual appropriation of $15,000 for its enforcement, which is placed in the hands of the state board of health. Running a newspaper is just like running a hotel, only different. When a man goes into a hotel and finds something on the table that does not suit him he does not raise hades with the landlord and all in his old hotel. Well, hardly. He sets that dish aside and wades into the many dishes that suit him. It is different with some newspaper readers. They find an article occasionally that does not suit them exactly and without stopping to think it may please hundreds of other readers, make a grand stand play and tell the editor how a paper should be run and what should be put into it. But such people are becoming fewer every year. To those who love the manly sport of the great national game—base ball —there must indeed come just now a feeling of joy that during the present season we are to have professional contests on the diamond. To those who love to linger in the bleachers and howl their respective favorites to victory this news brings an immeasurable pleasure. The love of base ball is not confined to the small boy by any means. Many of us who are plodding down life’s pathway and to whom is left even the memory of a certain vacant lot where opposing “clubs” were in the old days wont to battle for supremacy, can not if we w-ould and would not if we could, entirely eradicate from our hearts the love for the game, and the bounding exuberance that comes with the glory of one home run. Once while two famous students of Blackstone were arguing a case, one said he could illustrate his part of the drgument, which was that of circumstantial evidence, by a story of a boy who was fond of custard pie. One day when left alone at home, he got into the pantry and finding a custard pie, ate it all. Then thinking of a certain strap which was hanging in the hall, he caught the house cat and smeared custard over its paws and mouth, and then turned it loose to roam at its will. Finally the old man returned and soon saw- the cat with its tell-tale mouth and marks of ! its paws upon the floor, getting a rope j he tied the poor cat to a tree limb, ! and went to the house to get his i gun. The boy who had hidden him- ! self in the rear of the bam, remarked as he heard the report, “There goes another victim of circumstantial e .idence.”

Car number two that was recently fitted up made Its first regular run over the interurban this morning to Fort Wayne, leaving this city at nine o’clock and-carrying a large load of 1 passengers. The car looks to be some larger than the old car and has some more seating capacity. The round trip was made in good time and without a mishap. A halt has been called on the twocent fare bill in Illinois and it is said it will not become a law unless all its provisions are pronounced constitutional by competent authorities. The bill was to have passed the house last Wednesday but it is now stated it v. ill not be called up until the question of its validity has been fully established. 'i

Charles N. Christen is at present busily engaged dn making 'plans for tome additions to be placed om the Catholic school and the Sisters’’ Home, during the coming summer months. Two rooms will be added to the school building and eight rooms to the Sisters' Home, and the new additions will be completed with all modern conveniences. The plans as being drawn by Architect Christen will cause an outlay of probably ten thousand dollar in making the improvements desired. The school at present is small and more room is needed for the comfort of the scholars, as new ones are being added daily. The new additions v ill certainly improve their already pretty grounds.

If Thaw had been brought up like an ordinary young man and had spent his time in some useful occupation instead of leading a life of idleness and dissipation, there would have been no murder trial and no question raised as to whether he is not afflicted with, “paraonia” or “adolescent insanity,” .It is probably true that he was afraid White would be able to take the fair Evelyn away from him, and to prevent that he decided to put the architect out of the way. White's character has been so thoroughly riddled that the jury will acquit the defendant on the ground that he was justifiable in shooting him. If this is the result of the trial. Thaw may find occasion to use his gun again some day.
