In Boston the law provides that a lonian who wears a low-necked dress can be arrested and fined. But try to think for a moment of the things that could happen to the judge who did Ihe fining. Mrs. W. S. Hughes returned last veiling from Cardwell, Mo., where .he v is visiting with her daughter, Mrs N. C. Coverdale, who has been sick for some time past. She was accompanied home by her grandson. Graydon Coverdale. The Michigan City attorney and Hon. Levi Mock, who are interesting themselves in behalf of Dr. C. L. Landfair, today spent some time visiting the jurors who presided at the trial in further effort to have them sign the petition for a parole. The consensus of opinion is that it would be all right to release the doctor if he would give a bond to raise no more bull dogs.—Bluffton Banner. There is hardly a married men, except editors, who does not carry in his pocket the picture of an attractive young woman who is not his wife. Her name is Anna 'Wilkes Williams of Philadelphia, and her picture adorns the silver dollar which all use. A country editor asks those of his subscribers who are in arrears for subscription to please send him a few pictures of Miss Anna Wilkes Williams. —Exchange. Representative Edwards’ bill to regulate the “in and out” fees of county sheriffs, was passed in the senate by a vote of 35 to 0. This measure provides that these fees shall go to the sheriffs and not to the county.. The question of who should have the benefit of the fees had never been fully determined. The in and, out fee is the fee alowed to the sheriff for admitting prisoners to the jail and for releasing them. The fee is 25 cents each way. The hero of the barnstorming aggregation was strong in physique, but weak of voice. The appeals of a frantic audience for a louder interpretation of the part had no effect, according to the Buffalo Times. It had come to that part in the proceedings where the heroine, at midnight, faintly rings a cowbell, to awaken her imprisoned lover. The hero regains his freedom, and quickly plans to escape with his sweetheart. “But what shall 1 do with this bell?" she asks, ap--1 pealingly. “Pull the tongue out,” screeches a voice in the last row, -and give it to your Godfrey Vandelveiirh! ”

The local billiard enthusiasts are watching the match games that are being played in New York at present, with considerable interest. As it now stands all three of Chicago's representatives are in the lead over their eastern rivals. Twenty-four Bluffton business men have been victimized by a traveling sign writer who got them to cough up fifty cents for a beautiful hand painted card to go in a frame at the postoffice. The first time a post-card inspector comes along the postofflce advertiser will suspend publication, but that won’t hurt the sign writer a bit as he got his.—Bluffton News. Miss Hazel Eddy of Elkhart, aged nineteen, was placed under arrest Saturday night, charged with participating in a hold-up game. It is asserted that the girl and her male escort compelled a meat cutter in a meat market there to hand over the contents of the cash drawer, amounting to about fifty cents, at the point of a revolver. Officers are now after her companion. Portland is beginning to sign men for the coming season and the list of playefs secured so far is not one to strike terror to the aspirations of any other team. Biersdorfer will be one of the members of the twirling staff and Fleet McAlexander of Fort Recovery, will be given a try-out. Carmony will be the man who holds down first sack and “Shorty” Hall of Dunkirk, will be another one. She was a schoolgirl of the age that is wrongly called awkward and should be called natural. She had joined a hockey club and was arrayed for the first time in the school hockey costume. An admiring luncheon party stood around and inspected her before starting for the fray. There were brothers, uncles, friends and they said the right thing about the serge blouse and the colored skirt and the Tam o’ Shanter. But this was not enough for the heroine of the moment. Emboldened by success, she made a duck at the bottom hem of her skirt, which though short was not short enough for her purpose, “You have not seen the best thing of all,” she said proudly; “look at my mudguards!” The growth of the average finger nail is computed to be one-thirty-sec-ond of an inch a week, or a little more than an inch and a half a year. The finger nails are said to grow faster in summer than in the winter. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any of the other nails and that of the thumb grows slowest. It is also said that the nails on the right hand grow faster than those of the left hand. According to the rate of growth stated, the average time taken for each finger nail to grow its full length is four and a half months, and at this rate a man seventy years old w'ould have renewed his nails 186 times. Taking the length of each nail as half an inch, he would have grown seven feet and nine inches of nail on each finger and on all his fingers and thumbs an aggregate length of 77% feet.

Mrs. J. C. Patterson and daughter, Dora Marie, went to Winchester today, to visit over Sunday wfth relatives. Mrs. Badders returned to her home at Monroe today. While here she was the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Frank. Charles Good was arrested today on a charge of assaulting one Charles Ross and will have his hearing Monday morning. The P. F. F. Club had their regular weekly meeting at the home of Miss Lilah Lachot on West Monroe street. The memoers enjoyed the evening by sewing, singing and having a general good time. During the evening a lovely luncheon was served by the hostess. Several foreign horsemen were in our city today talking over the horse question and were complaining about the scarcity of good horses for market purposes. One man had been in Berne all week and purchased but two horses and came to Decatur to try his luck. Chicanelli, who had to leave on a journey before the end of a case begun against him by a neighbor, gave orders to his lawyer to let him know the result by telegraph. After several days he got the following telegram: "Right has triumphed.” He at once telegraphed back: “Appeal immediately. A pipe liner giving the name of Sam Smith, was arrested last evening by Marshal Green on a charge of public intoxication, and was lodged in jail until morning, when he was arraigned before Mayor Coffee and plead guilty. Smith was given the usual dose and will lay it out with Sheriff Meyers. The interurban people on yesterday delivered to the Decatur Produce company one hundred and ten cases << eggs which had been shipped through from Auburn, Ind. The business in this line is picking up in nice shape and before long the freight and express car will be forced to make the trips a little oftener. John Andrews, who was arrested a few days ago. on a charge of permitting hogs to lay upon his premises that had died of cholera, appeared this morning before Squire Smith, and plead guilty to the charge, was fined a dollar and costs and instructed to bury the hogs at once. The affidavit was filed by James Waggoner. Mrs. Oren Fortley of Pleasant Mills, and her cousin, Miss Ada Cowan of Decatur, passed through Portland Friday en route to their home from Dunkirk where Thursday afternoon they attended the funreal services of the six-months-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Goodyear. Mrs. Fortley and Mrs. Goodyear are sisters. —Portland Review. Whether for good or evil, character is not made in a day. Therefore, everyone knows that Stanford White, Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw were what they were on the evening of the tragedy as a result of months and years of wrong living. And the normal human mind wants to know the last detail of these particulars that he may himself pass judgment on the offenders. Last night, at the Baker & Anderson restaurant, a delightful banquet was given by Arthur Beery, who returned from Grand Rapids. Mich, Thursday night. Mr. Beery has been attending college at that place, he being away from the city for several months, and the banquet seemed quite appropriate to the jolly crowd of young men that were in attendance. The hour that was consumed by the merrymaking crowd was greatly enjoyed by all, and the toasts given by Mose Krohn and the beautiful strains of music that escaped the lips of Dale Spahr featured the event.. o Youth’s sandals 40c, J.
