GENERAL AND STATE NEWS

Telegraphic Reports from Many Parts of flu Country SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in Distant and Nparby Cities and Towns—Matters of Minor Mention from Many Places. . . * V ' : Onion Market Glutted. The condition of the onion market remains unchanged. As a matter of fact it could hardly be worse. It is estimated that there are fully 100 - 000 bushels of onions lying out in the fields neglected and spoiling. The market is flat. One shipper lost IS cents a bushel on a carload he sent to St. Louis. Others have sold carloads at 12 to 25 cents a bushel.* The storage houses are refusing to accept many onions because their condition might damage the rest of the onions in the plant. The end is in sight, but the financial loss is bound to be heavy.—Starke County Republican.
