EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.

Breezy Bits of Hot Weather Doings Culled from Neighboring Papers. ! '• • •' 1 : Only three persons were hurt in Gary on the Fourth according to the Post. Not bad, considering. Big excitement in Delphi for several days: a team ran away on the Fourth, and the Board of Review met, according to the Daily Herald. The Tippecanoe Co, Democrat in a head says : “Judge vvill send no human being to jail.” Wonder what they are going to do wfrth the jail? The Hammond Times in a dispatch from St. John, Ind., sakl the thermometer registered 132 degrees Monday. We knew it was warm, but —' According to the Starke Co. Republican a mortgage was filed there recently that contained 78,000 words and made a printed pamphlet of 195 pages. But, then, anything could iibppen in Starke. The Michigan City News says tHat Rosa Berry, the harscthief, was taken to prison and—her attorney accompanied her. Not establishing a precedent, but to intercede for her with the prison authorities. The News says an Indianapolis man wore a full dress suit and his friends think he is sick. Go to Bosting, stranger, you’ll be received with open arms. Bostingers were full dress suits to the “delicatess.” Monticello had a street fair last week that, according to the Journal, was of the “come on, boys,” order. Paddle-wheels fairy (?) shows, etc., tended to enliven the usual monotony of that fair hiamlet.

Indiana Harbor had a safe and sane Fourth, too. Only one saloon riot, about a dozen arrests, and one foreigner cut into ribbons. Strange how these foreigners enter into the spirit of the glorious Fourth. The Kentland Enterprise says a drinlf called “Homo” has been put under the ban there because it contained 5 per cent alcohol. What caused the awakening was not mentioned, although it was claimed the drink had been sold for two years. The Gary Post says the “Solons may go on thie war trail,’’ and that the “amber fluid” is making the foreign element climb trees, and Gary is talking of employing a publicity promoter. Wouldn’t that be a nice job in the foreign settlement. Trying to promote to a fellow with the “willies” up in a tree with the thermometer at 108.

The Starke Cb. Democrat complains of the woes of the editor and gives as a sample of what he has to edit: Mrs. Jones, of Cactus Creek, let a can opener slip last week and cut herself In the pantry. The Democrat doesn’t say, but we presume that under the circumstances “no flowers” will be in order. Apyvav, we don’t know Mrs. Jones. The Lafayette Courier has them raising corn in White county thfat is over 7 feet high and more than 5 inches around, that was planted the 10th of May, and the Courier claims there is 40 acres like that. When you remember there are two breweries in Lafayette and the prevalence of the dope habit in cities, comment is unnecessary. A dispatch to thfe Indianapolis .News from Greeley, Cok>., says an attqrney of the latter place was attacked by a jack-rabbit and badly bittpn and scratched, while out hunting recently. If this story had been vouched foe by a bartender instead of a member of the bar, we would know where he got his inspiration. But coming from an attorney at law it is incontrovertible. ■ , fv,. r •:
