State Items of Interest. Gus J. Beck, it business mnn of Waterloo, was held up while going home and robbed of nearly SSO belonging to KnlghtH of Honor Lodge, of which he was financial secretary. There wen* two robbers, and suspicion rests on local men. Beck saved s2(l from the robbers by dropping it on the ground. As a result of celebration the Chicago and Grand Trunk lost its passenger depot in Valparaiso. Some girls were shooting rfirecmekers and threw them on the porch of the building. The loss was SA,(XM), insured in the Phoenix of London for ,$5,000. M. L. Baum, owner of the eat-ing-house, lost $2,000; no insurance. At Jeffersonville several persons were prostrated by heat and are in a precarious condition. Mrs. Virginia Buddell, who lived near Utica, and Casper Seibert, of Jeffersonville, died from the heat. At Fort Wayne Mrs. Eliza Miller, Miss Eliza Wing and Frank Huxley were prostrated. Mrs. Miller, prostrated Sunday, died.

D. C. Bruce, aged 35, committed suicide at Shelbyville Sunday afternoon by shooting. He went home in his usual good spirits, went upstairs to his room, took a bath, dressed, and sitting on the side of the bed placed a 32-caliber revolver to his temple and fired, the ball ploughing through the brain to the upper angle of the skull. He left no word of explanation, and the cause remains a mystery. Five years ago while acting in the capacity of city marshal he was shot three times through the right lung by Charley Hawkins, who was on the same day hanged by a mob, and it is claimed that Bruce’s mind has never been right since. At the prize drill of flie Indiana Knights of St. John and the Catholic Knights of America at Crawfordsville the purse was awarded to the Indianapolis Commandery of the Knights of St. John.

The 7-year-old son of Amil Helbig died at Greenfield from hydrophobia after suffering twenty-four hours of violent convulsions. The child would bark and snap like a dog when in spasms.

A Baltimore and Ohio freight train struck and instantly killed an unknown man at Stoner. He was walking on the track. A month ago the Bev.
