Wanted, some petrified water. Marion Sands is haming baled h.iy on the Burk Ranch. The Misses Annie and Sena Jasperson are on the sick list. Mrs Shirer, who has been quite sick, is better at this writing. Charles Hall, who has been working in Valpo, has returned. Joe Bellies is on the sick list. He took sick at Trustee Maloney's List Monday. Messrs. Marion Sands and D. V. at-, tended church at San Pierre last Monday evening. The Misses Etmna Henry and May \Vitt were the guests of Prof. R. A. Mannan last Sunday. Miss Mav Witt has joined a Humane society. Don’t dnveuhe horses too far, is one of her maxims. Jesse Groce, our hustling shoe and harness reconstructor, is as busy as a horse-fly in haying time. A number of the D. V., M. E. choir practiced at the the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sands last Tuesday evening. Jim says that if Edith, his Rush county girl, had been to the show the other night it would have been “goodby my honey," with him. Prof. Barnum, the world-famed comical showman and professor of hidden mysteries, demonstrated at D. V. last Tuesday evening. Mr. James Newhouse, who has been at the State Line elevator for a few days, has reappeared. IX V. has a very potent attractive force, saith Jim.

A number of the IX V. young people attended church at Cedar Ridge last Sunday evening. Laun Neece has ■worn eternal vengeance upon the foregoing. The Democrats, according to the parasite wisloinof the Wheatfield Telepnone, are an aggregation of people, closely allied to the Boxers. Listen luthewordr of wisdom—they that judge other, by themselves are not cute. An you all know, John Blocher intends to emigrate to Dakota, where lie has a claim. There, like o'Uw r sequestered spots of the West, the Jack Rabhit reigns supreme. Mr. Blocher,who is the proud pusM-»«or of a pair ol white «»r Jack rabi>H colored mules, iiiteuUs to take them with him to use as rabbit decoys. That is what we term wisdom, Some ol our young men carry in the coniines of their hats and pockets, articles more or less valuable, which they liesitatae to exhibit to the fastidious gaze of their nearest friends. If the traveling comedians have no other mission but to expose the contents of the bats and pock-

etsofour young men, their mission ha’s upon it the stamp of benevolence. Jim Newhouse,our goodnatured elevator man, attended the show last Tuesday evening at the school-house. Prince of Wales like, he came in and, afte? hanging up his dearly beloved hat, proceeeded to his seat and anxiously awaited the commencement of the show. During; the show, Prof. Barnum after riveting his Xrays eyes upon the dignified hat of Mr. Newhouse, perceived that he used his hat for a traveling trunk as well as a bead protector. The following are the articles that the showman found in the hat: A baby skirt and other kindred articles that you would see if you were an employe in a first class laundry. He must have used his hat for an incubator, for eggs too ripe for eating purposes were found. Surely life is a dream so vivid as to be a kindred to reality.
