W. O. Schanlaub, the Newton county superintendent of schools, and wife came today for a short visit with his father. Lightning killed two steers for Jim Wiseman and one for Jim Lakin, of near Virgie, during the storm last night. Wiseman's loss was covered by insurance. Frank Alter brought Mrs. Alter home from Hahnemann hospital in Chicago today. She was operated upon several weeks ago, and aside from being rather weak is getting along nicely. The barbers of Lafayette are thinking of raising the price of shaves from 10 to 15 cents, which will include neck shaves. The only cities in Indiana in which the 10-cent price in union shops previal are Lafayette Logansport and Danville. Miss Ethel Perkins, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Judson Perkins, went to Terre Haute today to take the six weeks’ college course there. She has been teaching at North Manchester, Ind., which position she has occupied the past three years. Wm. F. Clarke, wife and two children have been visiting the family of his brother, Rev. G. H. Clarke. Mr. Clarke is the superintendent of the schools at Forsythe, Mont., and he and his family went to Chicago this morning, where he will the summer session of, Chicago University. Arthur Waymire, road supervisor in south Newton township, has killed seven dogs at the request of owners this week. A few of the owners have failed to muzzle their dogs so far and these will be killed unless the owners comply with the orders of the authorities. The funeral of W. A Crisler was held yesterday afternoon, but owing to the~ fact that his brother failed to arrive from Spokane, Wash., in time for it, no interment was made Friday. The brother arrived last evening, and the body was kept in the undertaking rooms of W. J. Wright, and interment was made in Weston cemetery this morning. Probably only a few of the residents of Jasper county know that a child must now be named within twenty-four hours after birth. Nevertheless this is a fact and a peep at the 1911 statutes will prove that the lawmakers of the state have decreed it. Not only must the child be named w'<hin twenty-four hours, but the report of its blrtfi must be upon file with the proper officials within thirtysix hours.

y The question of raising the minimum charge of freight packages from 25 to 35 cents will be thrashed out at a meeting before the railroad commission at Indianapolis Thursday, June 29. When the railroads proposed the change the commission held it up thirty days and now the railway companies must prove the necessity for such change before it will be allowed. An Indianapolis paper says that about every road in the state will have . representative at the hearing. The Speedway management Sit Indianapolis has announced that hereafter the annual race at the Speedway would be held on July 4. The details of the race that will be an annual event have not been worked out, but will be announced later. At the request of the G. A. R. the Speedway management has decided that in the future it will not hold a big race on May 30 or do anything that will in any way overshadow the Memorial day tributes paid to the soldier dead. Purtelle, the interurban promoter, was in town yesterday circulating a petition asking that an election be held in this township to vote on a proposed IMr percent subsidy on his proposed road. Mr. Purtelle tells us that workmen are clearing the right-of-way in Marlon township, and putting in abutments for a bridge to cross the Hoover slough creek. Mr. Purtelle is confident the road will be built, if the people are willing to vote the subsidies asked for.—Remington Press.
