Andy Carnegie has offered Montpelier SIO,OOO for the construction of a library, the city to raise SI,OOO a year for its support. By putting the building on the high school lot the board figures S4OO a year could be saved in fuel and janitor service, leaving S6OO to be raised. The assessor is now around finding out what people are worth, and who have dogs. Isn't ft wonderful how poor some fellows get when the assessor comes around?

A Missouri legislator has introduced a bill making it a misdemeanor for a woman in that state to buy more than two hats a year, neither to cost more than $1.98. Doubtless the approach of the Easter season has gone to the man’s head. Down in Georgia the supreme court has concluded that an engineer is not justified in acting on the presumption that a child of tender years on a railroad track will appreciate its danger and use the discretion of an adult in getting out of the way of an approaching train.

This is not original with us, but none of our readers doubt its intense application to local conditions: When you run across a fellow, who is knocking on the town; who declares that it is backward, who just loves to run It down. Never argue with the growler, for it’s not a bit of use. Take good aim, my friend, and kick him, where his pants hang loose. Hay dealers who bought largely earlier in the season upon the theory that there was a scarcity of the product and it would go higher are now looking for opportunities to hedge. In midwinter, when hauling was difficult, it was predicted that hay would go up to $25 a ton before it stopped. Now it is said if the present fine weather continues it will fall to sl2 a tou inside of four we*.’xs.

Attorney DeVoss, Prosecutor Heller of Decatur, and Attorney Cottrell of Berne, were in town last Wednesday to try the case of the state vs. the three young men of this town who were charged with disturbing religious services at Apple Grove church. The prosecution was inefficient and I the case was dismissed. Here is an instance where there was about twen-ty-five or thirty dollars costs heaped up, to go unpaid. It appears a great injustice to those who gave their time to carry out the demands of the state. —Geneva Herald.

The meeting called for Tuesday evening at the city building for the purpose of making arrangements for the organizing of a ball team in Delphos was not very well attended, therefore no action of any kind was taken. Those who were not present are now kicking themselves because they thought there would be plenty without them. Several enthusiasts started out today to rent the East Fifth street grounds so that this will be no obstacle should the team become a reality later on. There are a large number who do not want to see the proposition dropped, however, and a paper will probably be started in a few days to endeavor to raise funds to start the ball rolling Boost the thing along, don't let it drop.— Delphos Herald.
