Addison Clayton, 13 years of age last May, and who for the past four years has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. D. S.

He had accompanied a farm hand to the woods for a load of wood and was riding on the load. As the wagon neared the house he endeavored to change his position oil the wood and fell off. Apparently he fell so that only the rear wheel passed over him. It ran across his arm and right leg, breaking the arm above the elbow and the leg just below the "hip. He also, sustained other bruises but they were slight. He was picked up and taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Makeever, where the fractures were reduced as soon as a physician could reach there. As the lad is quite young it is probable that he wilt largely outgrow the injuries. Today he is resting nicely.

The baby show Is one of the most pleasing features of the annual poultry show. This year proved no, exception and there was as fine a lot of babies as ever entered a show ring.

The judges were Dr. Hansson, of Rensselaer; V. J. Kresler, of Jamestown, N. Dak., and Chas. Baldwin, of Logansport. The babies were divided into two classes.

“Jack the Spitter” Latest Filth Varmint in Rensselaer.

The filthy tobacco spitter was on the job again Friday night. He must have used a dime’s worth of Battle Ax to mar the windows of Rensselaer. Commencing as far east as H. F. Parker’s photograph gallery he lathered about half the windows on both sides of Main street with great gobs of tobacco juice. Probably Frank Kresler’s store was the wort abused. The "beast who commits this shameful deed is about the worst human we have heard of, and if apprehended he should be severely punished. Probably a charge Of violating the spitting, ordinance and perhaps one of malicious trespass could be filed against the brute. A well directed brickbat would possibly bring the varmint to his senses, and this treatment would be merited if he could be caught in the act.

Whenever a legal holiday falls on Sunday, the government makes the next day, or Monday, the legal holiday. Thus, the official Christmas just passed was Dee. 26th, and the official New Tear began on Jan. 2d. Many cities adopt this plan but It is not made official in many states. To satisfy some school teachers who thought they should be entitled to Monday, Jan. 2d, County Superintendent Lamsom asked a ruling from State Superintendent Greathouse and was instructed that the day was not recognized as an official holiday in Indiana and any teacher or pupil who was absent from school on "that day was absent on their own responsibility and entitled to no relief.
