Bates’ berries are now in the midst of the season. Those who want them for preserving should leave their orders at once and then be ready to take them when their turn comes. The berries are fine now, but the season will be very short, as the first and second early varieties were frozen. Leave orders at McFarland’s. C. W. Duvall is oiling the street in front of his residence. A number of property owners in different parts of the city have done likewise, and it is probable that other property owners will follow suit. Some of the property owners living on the street leading to the depot are talking of oiling that street, as the dust at times is almost unbearable. ' Farmers near Goodland are talking of Ailing their stone roadß as an economic measure. If oil prevents making dust it will also prevent loss of road material by wear. The indications are that in the near future not only the streets of a town will be treated with oil, but the country roads as well, which are constantly becoming more severely taxed by automobiling.

Clark Station, Ind., has no telephones. In spiteof the fact that every citizen has signified a willingness to invest in a talk machine at reasonable rates, the dinglings refuse to come along and make themselves at home. Recently an inhabitant met a salesman and told him of it, and the salesman said: “This must be the home of Rip Van Winkle—lead me to him. - ’ Clark Station is two miles from Gary, and but 24 miles from Chicago. It Is on the Rand and McNally map, just the same as Bagdad and Tiinbuctoo, where the tinkle, tinkle of the phone butts into life with joyful disregard of time, occasion or person. As a refuge for the bell mad telephone girl in vacation time, Clark Station is worth remembering. vi S S. McClure, of New York, was successfully operated upon at MaisonBelpau in Paris yesterday. The patient is doing well. A “Classified Adv.” will rent it.

KERN’S CHARGES AGAINST SHIVELY.

"Forty-five Democratic members of the legislature openly gave me pledges of their support their constituents required it. Forty-two votes were all I needed. When I seemed sure of the nomination tha brewers suddenly manifested a lively interest in the situ* tion. It was proposed that the Democrats, meeting in caucus, cast a secret ballot. I understood what that meant pledged members of the legislature could vote for the brewers’ candidate, whoever he happened to be, and no one would know it. Eight men were pur* chased, and the secret ballet want through. I received thirty-* ix votes, and Benjamin F. Shively, attorney, for the brewers, was nominated. And yet there are forty-four men who will make affidavit today that they gave me their suppprt. I cannot prove bribery on anyone, but I think I know the names of eight men who were bought up.”
