Union City and. at his old home in Ohio. Wheat, he states, is generally good all along the rpute traversed, but no better, if as good, as we have here. There has been too much rain all through the eastern part of the state and away into Ohio. The river banks were all full of water and corn in many places-was poor. \\ here it had been dry enough to work the corn fields it was looking well, but in many places the weeds had got a great start on account of the inability of farmers to get to get to work it.

Mrs. A. Gangloff was called to Headlee, White county, Monday by the death of her nephew, George Roth, a young man 24 years of age, who was killed Sunday while driving to the Pulaski church with his vise and baby. The horse became frightened at a tree which had been blown across the road by the wind and just a passage way cut out for teams to pass. The animal lunged forward, pulling Mr. Roth over the dashboard. It then begun kicking and kicked the entire top of his head off, and also knocked out his teeth. A wife and one child is left. The unfortunate young man was a son of Mrs. Gangloff’s brother, and was highly respected in that locality.

Ihe $75,000 fire at Knox Sunday, starting from the explosion of a vulcanizing tank in a dentist’s office, a small fire which, with waterworks and trained fire fighters, could have been easily extinguished, is further Proof of the economy of a waterworks system, instead of the obsolete bucket brigade and dinky chemical engines. A skilled fire department, every man in his place at the sounding of an glarm, and the scientific fighting at a fire, not only pay for themselves in the salvation of property, but are encouraging to prospective builders, who without fear of serious fire loss, erect fine business blocks. Knox has at last awakened to these facts, and the contract has been let for a $20,000 waterworks system.

MRS. JOE NAGLE’S MOTHER DIES.

Mrs. Clara Eberle died suddenly June 19th at her home, 1021 north Ninth street. Her son, John Eberle, who lives on a farm, two miles north of Lafayette, with his wife and childcame into town last evening to do some shopping. Mr. and Mrs. Eberle left the children with their grandmother while they went down to the stores. The elder Mrs. Eberle was reading to the children when she suddenly fell from her chair to the floor. She gave no warning of feeling ill and was in her usual good health up to the time of tbe attack. It is thought that she suffered a stroke of apoplexy. The children tried to arouse their grandmother, but it was not until Mr. and Mrs. Eberle returned that assistance was summoned. Life had been extinct for at least an hour, and it is thought death came instantly with the fall. Dr. Charles W. Shill, the coroner, was called to view the body. Mrs. Eberle was sixty-six years old on June 12th last and she was an excellent woman. She was a devout member of St. Boniface’s congregation and was charitable to a great degree. Her husband died five years ago this month. Four children survive, John Eberle, Mrs v Joseph Nagle, of Rensselaer; Sister Modesta and Sister Bartholomea, of the Sisters of St. Francis. The sisters are stationed in Kansas.—Lafayette Journal.
