Allen and James Riggs, which was attended by a large number of invited lady guests. The parlors were handsomely and pro tusely decorated with La France roses, carnations, palms, etc., and
• i
daffodils and palms. Dainty re

fair was a great social success. The gentlemen leaving in charge

Ills., on Wednesday. Died, near Limedale, on March 19, of consumption, Miss Cora L. Ham, aged 23 years. Benjamin F. Spelbring and Hannah D. Nicholson lias been granted license to marry. The word is that the divorce case ofllirt vs. Hirt is expected to come up, for trial, in Clay Circuit Court, next week. Henry Blake, of South Putnam, was fined by Mayor Birch, on Monday, tor taking aboard too much tangle-foot. Mrs. A. T. Kelly was called to Howard county, Tuesday, by a telegram announcing the death of her brother, William Mitchell. Miss Bessie Woida, who lias been teaching School No. 5 Jackson townhip, has returned home, the tern, having closed last week. It is to be hoped that March will go out like a lamb, and that the weather will then continue lamblike until the crops are made and har-
vested.
On Tuesday night a pedestrian on West Columbia street drew his ready revolver and shot three times at Benton Curtis’ bird dog; the dog was wounded and ran away howling with pain; at last account he had not re-

On Tuesday last W. R. Grogan bought one hundred and two head of export cattle, averaging 1,500, near Oaktown, Ind ; for sixty of them lie aid $5.2.-), and for forty-two, $5. they will be shipped, Monday next, and go direct to Liverpool. An operation for the removal of an internal abscess W's preformed on Mrs. Matthews, at Russellville, Tuesday, by Drs. Straughn, Smythe and Matthews. The operation was successfully performed, but the patient is so weak that fears are entertained that she wRl not recover. TheSouth Bend Times says: Dr. H. Boyd-Snee, assisted by Drs. Eastman and Daugherty, performed a mastoid orperation upon the daughter of Rev. S. B. Town, Sunday. The object of the operation was to evacuate retained puss and remove dead bone. Since the operation the child’s condition has improved. Under tne new fishing law, which by the way, was fathered, mothered, nurtured and made strong enough to jass triumphantly through the late egislature by the Greencastle Fishing Club, which is not named in the City Directory, it is unlawful to seine, gig, spear, hook or catch fish in Indiana waters between April 1 and June 16 of each year. The desire for mutual improvement and the kind invitation of the host and hostess gathered a large number of lady and gentlemen guests at the elegant residence of Mr. and Mrs Thomas Abrams, on last Wednesday night, from 8 to li p. m. The occas ion was one that all sought to improve by taking advantage of the opportunity for mutual improvement, and alt were most fortunate in the happy re suits of their efforts. The hostess was assisted by Mesdames H. S. Renick, E. B. Evans, Alex. Lockridge, and Misses Nellie Hammond, Anna Stone, Edith Morris and Pearl Meltzer. The guests, on arriving, were given series of instructions, in which the gentlemen and ladies were told to talk politics, gossip, woman’s rights, sociology, etc., and after time thus spent a series of conundrums were proposed for each to answer one way or’tother. The prize winners in this contest were Miss Lillian Southard Dr. Lammers and James T. Allen - the latter two drew straws to settle their tie, and Mr. Allen won; the prizes were to Miss Southard a handsome vase; to Mr. Allen a pretty paper knife, and Hon. 8. A. Hays made the presentation speeches on the occasion During the evening the enjoyment of the guests was enhanced by recitations by Miss Rose Joslin and Marie Allen and a violin solo by Miss Mollie Frank Refreshments were daintily served during the evening. The' parlors, dining room, etc., were beautifully garnished with cut flowers and tropi cal plants, and every accessory nec essarv to the enjoyment of such anniat />po<)aipn w>a •_{ hard host, hostess and guests were pleased and happy.
one and a half miles west of Eminence, on the farm of Mrs. Harrison Tincher, nee Staley, where the shadowingjparty found a hole in the ground, on the bottom of which was the imprint, apparently, of an iron kettle. It is evident that tlie young men had loosely covered up their find, and, conjecturing that they were watched, had hastily lifted out the pot and made good their escape from prying eyes. What the vesseFcontained is unknown except to the young men who made the find. They had been digging in and around the spot, it is supposed, for several nights. There are wild stories afloat of rich discoveries ot shining gold.”
Feast of Song.
On Tuesday night at Music Hail, a very pleasing votal entertainment was given by pupils of Mies Fernic, under the title of “The Lovely Miller’s Maid,” a cyle of songs by Franz Schubert. The different numbers on! the program were all creditably rendered, some of them exception ably well given, and the affair was in reality a feast of aong. The program was as

City Schools and Their Work. The yearly enrollment in the public schools is now 818, the monthly enrollment 7H, the average enrollment 710.2, the average attendance 668.6 or 91.1 per cent. The number not ciOoCiai. IlOa td>a dj .. Of -<0.0 pot' cent; the cases of tardiness 31 or 2.2 per cent. This is the best record of tardiness for nearly eight years, perhaps mveh longer for I have records only that far back. Some special reports by rooms are as follows: Per rent of attendance: Mis# Alspauph 4 98.6, MIsb JonpR 97 7, Miss Jordan 96.8, Miss 1 McCoy 96.7, Miss Black 96.1, Miss Hammond 95.8, Miss Reisor 91.3. Per cent not absent nor tardy: .Miss Jordan Cl.8, Miss Miller 57.4, Miss Jones 56 6, Miss Alspnunh 55.8, Miss McCoy 54.6, hifch school 51.8, Miss Adams 50. Percent of panctnalfty: Miss Jordan 100, Mkss Ridpath 100. Miss Alspaugh 99, Miss Retor 99, Mitts Adams 98.7, viiss Hammond •h.T, Miss Williams Miss McCoy 98.1, Mis* Black 97.7, Miss Miller 97.6. Miss Htone 97.4, Miss Kagan 97 1, high school 96.9. The year thus far has been a very satisfactory Mie. Work ha«, been of » high order, discip4iine has been comparatively easy anti pupils w*em happy in their work.' The ideal thought is to make the school as delightful and as free as the best home and to bring Into the Bfe of nil pupils such refining ana elevating influences as shall make life glad and beautiful to them. And all this can be done when we learn how and the people understand the work of the school, without lessenin'? the true force of diacipline In the 'onst. True discipline is not force, but a w illing compliance with what is known to be just and right. We hope parents will visit the schools more that they may better nnt * •mud iuu woi» uuuc« H. A, Vuu#
