Billy Sunday, the well known evangelist, collapsed in Lima, Ohio, last week, during his herculean efforts to swell the number of conversions at his meetings.

The Delphi Daily Herald has been sold to Chester A. Gregory, a school teacher. The Herald editor’s wife recently sued him for divorce and he scooped the other newspapers there by being the first paper to tell ab"»at it.

Success is hoped for the new proprietor, Editor Gregory.

WEATHER FORECAST.

Showers tonight or Wednesday; cooler Wednesday. Maximum 61; minimum 31. March 22—Sun rises 6:01, sets 6:14. Spring began a few minutes before noon today.

The actual time when the sun was in the plane of the earth’s equator was thirteen and a half minutes before noon. But, as it takes the rays of light eigh: and a quarter minutes to travel from the sun to the earth, the apparent time is five and a quarter minutes before noon.
