FOUR CORNERS. * Marion Davis made a business trip to North Judson Monday. Sale bills now posted show a sale for every day of next week in this locality. , Andy Wilson shipped a carload of hogs out of Wheatfield Monday. He was paying $6.30 for them. Trustee Davis is having a phone put in; this is to advise him quick when war is declared in the schools. John DeArmond, we are informed, has taken unto himself a wife. Well, they all seem inclined that way. Trustee Davis of Kankakee, Jesse and Lambert Collins, Fred and Chas. Stalbaum were Rensselaer goers Monday. Wheatfield is to have an oil station. The tanks are on the ground and will be placed as soon as the frost is out. The last wolf hunt was another failure. No wolves seen except a few in sheep’s clothing and they were not worth killing. Three petitions are being circulated in Wheatfield tp., forAhree separate stone roads. There is joy ahead .for the taxpayer. Mrs. F. W. Fisher went to Rensselaer Friday to get some dentai work done and .from there she went to near Lee to visit her mother, who is in Very poor health. Ed Sands made a hasty trip to Crown Point the last of the week. Some one departed with a suit of clothes and a rifle belonging 10 Ed, and as winter was not over he wanted the clothes, and he got them, too.

The Nier Bros, suffered a bad break on their engine a few days ago which necessitated the shipment of the broken parts to Laporte for repair. Quite a loss to them, as they have a great amount of work contracted. Dr. Fyfe has been in Chicago for about a week, but returned home Monday morning. Bro. Bowie had a severe attack of mulligrube while Doc was away, and w r e were glad to have medical help before the critical turn made its appearance. The big dredge on the Kankakeo started up the river Friday morning. They are making slow progress as yet, as they are compelled to stop and tighten bolts, etc., hut will soon have everything in working order, then the dirt and mud will fly, so they say. The V. S. Thompson, who located kx Wheatfield this winter and had worked up a good business, is now alleged to be a fugitive from justice, having forged the names- of several prominent farmers here and at North Judson to checks and made his getaway without leaving clews as to where he had emigrated, it is saio. The MoColly school case, we are informed, comes up for trial Monday, the 15th. The greatest regret is that the law is not severe enough for such dastardly acts, if true. The family of children should be taken by the court and placed with some one willing and capable of bringing them up in surroundings that would appeal to their better nature and teach them that there is a life worth living. The children are to be pitied rather than censured. A number of the members of the Improvement Association wonder why it is that Bro. Bowie always finds it necessary to make a trip to Indianapolis in the interest of the organization when some national democrat is billed to speak, and they would like to know if he really thinks the society should put up the cash, for him to “but in” to politics, when they, the association, are not interested? Is the report true that $35 was handed over at Laeross, sls at Wheatfield and $5 at Fair Oaks a few days before the Bryan meeting at Indianapolis? Now personally, wo don’t care, just so the money holds out and you have a good time. Your political career is ended and we only ask these few questions to satisfy a doze-i or so that have paid in a few dollars and are getting anxious. Why not publish an itemized statement of the receipts and expenditures, that the people may se@ how much goes into Bowie’s jeams and how much for actual expense?

Colds Are Often Most Serious Stop Possible Complications. The disregard of a cold has often brought many a regret. The fact of sneezing, coughing, or a fever should be warning enough that your sysmet needs immediate attention. Certainly loss of sleep is most serious. It is a warning given by nature. It is a man’s duty to himself to assist by doing his part. Dr. King’s New Discovery is based on a scientific analysis; of colds. 50c at your Druggist. Buy a bottle today.—Advt. J. l.

VIRGIE. Aren't we having some lovely winter weather? The Gasoway’s are some better a? this writing. , Earl Wiseman, who has been working away, is at home for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. *H. J. Reeder spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John Miller. Roscoe Reeder returned Saturday from his visit at his brother, Waitman’s. Mr. and Mrs. James Wiseman spent Sunday with George Cover ane family. Charley Holle, is shelling corn at Virgie for the Harrington brothers of Rensselaer. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Harrington and daughter, Gladys, attended church at Fair Oaks Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Warren Zellars spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mallatt, of Fair Oaks. Kenneth and Lonzo Wiseman, Fred and Elmer Sandefur and Isom Reeder have the chicken pox. Agnes Reeder,- Flossie Wiseman, Ellen Reed, Roscoe Reeder and Ebber ,iS Hahn spent Sunday with the Florence young folks. Mrs. Charles Harrington, Mrs. Lewis Harrington and two children and Mrs. James Wiseman visited with Mrs. Florence Tuesday.

The Liver Regulates the Body—A Sluggish Liver Needs Care. Someone has said that people with Chronic Complaint should be shut from humanity, for they are pessimists and see through a “glass dhrkly.” Why? Because mental states depend upon physical states. Biliousness, headaches, dizziness and constipation disappear after using Dr. King’s New Life Pills. 25c at your Druggist.—Advt.

A SAD TIME FOR WHALES.

Resemblance to a Submarine Already Has Meant Death to One. “In the North Sea lived a whale.” That was long ago. Olivette in Indians long-popular operetta told about the luckless end of that marine mammal in melodious fashion. That whale met a torpedo, and, mistaking it for another and undesirable fish of strange shape, gave it battle with dire results. Now from the same region we have authentic information of a whale which was mistaken, not by another whale, but by a warship, for a submarine boat.

The body of that whale, has been cast up on the Dutch coast full o> holes made by three-inch shells. Perhaps a whale resembles a submarine more closely than it resembles a torpedo. There are architectural differences, to be sure, which would be noted except in moments of extreme excitement. On and near the North Sea today, 1 however, there is a great deal of excitement, and this doubtless perfectly neutral creature has suffered in consequence of it. There is no evidence that this whale, like his predecessor, “loved to swag ger and bully,” or that “ the ladies loved him so.” Not being in comic opera, he, or she, presumably had no characteristics unusual to the .whales of sober natural history. No record of the incident except the stranding of the mortal remnant exists. One who would describe the encounter must use his imagination. A Kipling or a Bullen might be moved to splendid utterance by contemplation of this tragedy, but in a daily newspaper we must stick to facts, and the ascertained facts in this case is scant.—New York Times.

Sir David Henderson, Britain’s Chief Aviator.

The efficiency of the aviation corps w r hich accompanied the British expeditionary army to France has given England another national hero wliqse work has thrice Won him mention in Sir John French's dispatches, to say nothing of the praise officially given him by the French commander in chief. General Joffre.

The commander of the aviation corps and the man who is responsible for its organization and its proved efficiency is Colonel Sir David Henderson of the Royal Flying corps. Sir David is a soldier of twenty years’ experience and served conspicuously in the South African war. Of course, that was before any one ever thought of an army flying corps. But a few years later the possibilities of the aeroplane were demonstrated, and Sir David Henderson was one of the first men in the British army to look ahead a few years and see the wonderful uses to which the flying machine would be put In warfare. Prior to the advent of the flying machine he had been a student of the art of reconnoissance, and to him the British war office turned when the possibilities of the flying machine were first beginning to be realized. The first thing he did was to qualify himself as an air pilot, which did not take him long. He had not. been studying the possibilities of the flying machine In warfare long until he decided that it was revolutionizing the art of.scouting. Then he set to work to organize the Royal Flying corps, which has been giving such a good account of itself In the fighting in France.

Quartermaster of German Army. When an army takes the field it heed? much more than bullets, bayonets and cannon to perform its work. To provide for the wants of , the troops every army has one or more administrative departments charged with the procurement, custody and distribu tion of essential supplies. The work

GENERAL VON STEIN.

of the administrative departments is divided into three spheres of action, as follows: First.—The service performed in the rear of the enemy, or in the national territory of the governments. Second.—The service of the line of communications. Provision must be made for the replacement of the stores consumed by the army and th'e transportation, subsistence and quarteripg of all the troops, prisoners and the sick and wounded. Third.—The supply of troops in the field during active operations. General von Stein, quartermaster general of the German army, has the immense task not only of supplying equipment, but he also directs the workings of the commissary department. That General von Stein is in charge of both departments is sufficient evidence of his fitness for the task. He is a veteran soldier and has had many years' experience in the line of duty in which he Is now engaged.
