Jasper County Don’t Need New Bridge at Kankakee. Porter county commissioners and the Jasper county commissioners met Thursday at the Kankakee river south of Hebron, where it is proposed from Porter county that a bridge be built ’ over the old channel of the Kankakee river. It-is said that the bridge is not needed, except by a very few persons, and Jasper county is little inclined to go havers with Porter in the expense of building it and the matter was carried over until the November term of N the court. County Auditor Hammond accompanied the county commissioners to the site of the proposed bridge. Stork Special. . Born, Friday, May 19th, 'to Mr. a»d Mrs. Dolph Day, * son.

The improvements in our little city have been noted from time to time with pride. It is, on the whole, a community of well kept lawns shaded by stately trees, which testify to the civic pride of their owners. But to Mrs. Rowles must be given the credit of having carried out the most elaborate and artistic plan for creating a beautiful premises that has yet been attempted in our town. The beautiful fountain, designed by Miss Mary Washburn, which stands in the grounds of the Thompson home on River street is the only exception to the rule that has heretofore prevailed, of depending upon a well kept lawn ornamented by flowers and trees. But Mrs. Rowles has doQie much mors than this. The spacious grounds of the Rowles home have been divided by a formal garden enclosed by lattice work which will be the support of many vines and a background for numerous plants. Inside the garden is a large summer house flanked on three sides by flower boxes. In front -of this inviting retreat is an artificial lake in which water lilies are growing and numerous goldfish swim about. To the right a stone wall arches, on the top and in the niches of which are growing green ferns, over a small pool, whose water streams slowly from the mouth of a Griffins head in the wall, Comfortable garden seats are placed here and there and under a shady tree in one corner is a stone bench. When the flowers, many of which have been imported, have had time to grow and bloom, this delightful garden will be a thing of great beauty. Mrs. Rowles intends later to add a very elaborate pergola to the front of the garden. Nature in our. town has furnished no artistic backgrounds, the surface being entirely lever; hence any work of this kind much thought and expense is necessary to secure satisfactory results.
