The 8tatememt made last week as to the amount of life insurance carried by W. A. Wilkins was incorrect.

This the Agent A. S. Orr has received instructions to pay.

When the frost is on the counter, and the cobwebs on the shelf, and there is scarcely anybody in the store besides yourself, and yonr stock is getting shop worn aud the groceries getting stale, and bills enough are coming in to make a banker pale, oh then is the time a fellow is feelin' kind o'tlue, and is puzzled with the idea of tbe proper thing to do.

"Kissed" is a verb, transitive, too much so, regular every evening, indicative mood, indicating affection, first and third persons, plural number aud governed by circumstances. "Me"—Oh! well every body knows me." and she sat down.

CONDITION ON LETTERS.

Test of a New Devise to be Made at Washington.

Anew idea on weather forecasts will go into use this week in Washington. The scheme is to have the stamps used to fix the date of arrival of the letter supplied with an extra semi-circular disk, on which will be printed the current forecasts of the weather for the day.

At 10 o'clock each morning the weather bureau will telephone to the postmaster there the prophecy for the rest of the day, and from that time forward it will appear on all letters passing through the local office. These stamps, which have been made already, contain ten words to describe different weather conditions, such as "rain," "colder," 'warmer." "snow," "cyclone," etc., the appropriate one being used according to the forecast received in the morning.

Captains Carr and Andis served together in the Mexican war as members of Co. D. 5th Indiana Volunters. There are ten members of that Company now residing in Hancock county and also three other men who were in the Mexican war, but a different company.

INDIANA WINDOW GLASS.

Tbe Gas Belt Makes One Half of the Entire Profluct of America.

The report of V. T. Morgan,president of the wiBdow-glass-workers, makes a wonderful showing for the Indiana gas belt. He finds that the new Eighth district of Indiana has over 600 of the 1,630 pots, and makes more than one-third of the win" do w-glass manufactured The finest glass on tbe market is made in the gas belc. His report also shows that the Indiana gas belt makes over half of all the glass manufactured in the United States, and controls the markets. Indiana makes more window-glass than any other one State in the world, and more than any section of the world of double Indiana's area. The same figures also apply to the manufacture of jars and bottles and to the tin-plat industry. All of this is due to natural gas. and it has grown up during the past seven years. The report of Mr. Morgan is quite exhaustive, and will be incorporated with others and filed at Washington, D. C., for the benefit of Congressmen,! who have never looked upon the West as a really important factor in the manufacturing line.—ElwoodSpecial Indianapolis Ne vs.

They procured a wheel-barrow and took him to jail to Sober up. He was turned loose Sunday morning and the last seen of him was making tracks towards home.

Do You Whip Your Children?

In a recent lecture Col. Ingersoll said, "If there is one of you here, who ever expects to whip your child again, let me ask you something. Have your photograph taken at the time and let it show your face red with vulgar anger and the 'ace of the little one with eyes swimming with tears.'' The picture would probably not be placed in the album to show to friends.

Prosperous Farmers.

Yankton Press and Dakottan. In Yanktou County, South Dakota, there are at least one thousand farmers whe came here poor as the proverbial turkey of Job, and who to-day count their worldly possessions by thousands. Many of them started in with a house built of sod, and almost empty handed so far as horses and eattle go. To-day they occupy fine dwelling houses, have large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, granaries filled with grain, fruit orchards, and money in hand- Wa mention this to show that South Dakota farmers are the prosperous class. Prosperity is the rule—not the exception. With fair prices for grain and live stock, they would be rolling in wealth. Prices, however, have notning to do with the fertility of the soil and tbe favorable character of the climate. These natural advantages are here to stay and assure prosperity to the farming classes.
