The Ligonier Fair this year will doubtless attract-algrge number of our people. The fine program arranged and the excelient races that have been announced should insure a good attendance. :

Mr. and Mrs. Jas. R. DBeazel and daughter are at home fromr northern Michigan, where they spent an enjoyable season. Jim says that he caught some splendid fish while up there and that he enjoyed the trip.

C. W. Morrell went to Dayton, Ohio, Friday last, where he accepted a position with the Computing Scale Co. as a travelling salesman. Mr. Moz;réll will doubtless make a valuable addition to the aiready large corps of traveling men sent out by this company.

The republicans af South Bend control the city council, and notwithstanding the fact that fifty of the manufacturing and business firms petitioned for the retention of Fire Chief Isaac Hutchins- he was summarily bounced to make room for a republican ward worker.

" After a long and efficient service as city marshal Ike Todd stepped down and out, surrendering the office to William Vondersmith. Mr. Todd had made a good official, giyving satisfaction to a large per cent of our people. He is again working at his trade, plastering, which he expects to follow as of vore.

- It is now Marshal Vondersmith, that gentleman having donned the star Monday morning last and since that time has been looking after the peace and dignity of the ecity. Mr. Vondersmith will make a first-class official and we hope to see him have the co-operation of all the law-abiding citizens. )

It is now Mayor Straus. The inauguration ceremonies took place last Monday afternoon before a full council Mayor Weir turned the books over after a neat little speech thanking the council for their kindness and commending the incoming mayor to their indulgence. Mr. Straus responded in a most felicitous manner and the ceremony was over, :

To have a successful fair in this city this year, or any year, it is only necessary for each individual to feel a little personal responsibility resting upon themselves. If all bear a hanl and assist a little the result will be gratifying to everybody. If the fair fails, every one will regret it. Now is the time to help. Will you do it? Remember the date—the first five days in Oectober. g ) R

There are a number of people who think that the councilmen of the several wards should have something to say about the changes that are made in the public service and public improvements. They are held responsible for these things in other cities and it should be the same in Ligonier. The councilmen of the Second ward should have had something to say about the relocation of the electric lights.

A change has been made in the Postal telegraph office. in this city, Will Van Scoyke being superceded as manager by Wright Smith. No reasons are given for the removal of Mr. Van Scoyke, who has made a most excellent and popular manager, and the change was a surprise to the many iriends of the officer. 1t came without any notice to Mr. Van Scoyke or with no explanation. We hope that Mr. Smith will make as efficient and painstaking a representative as his predeCessor.

Mayor Wier gave it out early last year that there could be no electric hight at the intersection of Cavin and Fourth streets, and about the last thing done under his administration was the relocation of the lights in this part of the city, with a view to keeping this important corner in the dark. It seems to us that the councilmen of this ward ought to have had something to say about this matter, that common courtesy would have given them at least a vote u?on the question of the location of the lights. : :

About the first official act asked of the new mayor was to sign the contract entered into by the city couneil by which a strip of ground 80 feet wide along the north side of the tracks between Chatham and Water street is donated to the city for use as a street. ‘Fhis is all the city gets after the fuss and feathers over the crossing matter. The railroad gets all the concessions, gives a strip of worthless ground and the city does the rest. Mayor Straus very properly refused to sign the contract until he had made tuﬁ and complete investigations,

It is reported that D. W. Caldwell, president of the Nickel-Plate railroad, has been selected as general manager or president of the Lake Shore. Mr. Caldwell is a first-class railroad man and will doubtless keep the road up to its present high standard. We insert today a new ad. for the Chicago Times, which sets forth pretty clearly the principles of that paper in their relations to the questions of the day. 1t is a matter of history that the position of the Times during the recent strike has been vastly to its advantage.

A legal voter in Indiana must have been a resident of the state for six months before election, of the township sixty days and of the precinct thirty days. If he moves from one township to another. after September 5, or from one precinct to anether after October 5, he will be deprived of his vote at the coming election, November 6. Let the democratic voters remember these dates.

The Populists held their congressional convention at Kendallville last Wednesday, and on the second ballot Freeman Keliy (Fog-horn) was named as the candidate.

At Goshen last Tuesday, Lola, the 12-year-old daughter of W. H. Lemon, was drowned in the race. The little girl, with a twin sister, was playing 1n a boat when the unfortunate child fell into the water. < The body was recovered i fifteen minutes but life was extinct. all efforts to resuscitate her being futile. The two little girls have yisited here several tinfes with their aunt, Mrs. C. K. Graham, and looked very much alike. : ,

The city council at a recent meeting ordered a number of new lights for the city. Mayor Weir was given the power to locate the new lamps and change others, and his report was adopted at the last meeting of the council. This gave Mr. Weir an excellent opportunity to pay off some old scores and he made the most of the situation. His action in locating seyeral of the lights in the Second ward could only be explained from such a standpoint as there is abgolutely no sense or excuse for some of the changes. 1 '

It will be a hundred years on November 3d since William Cullen Bryant was born, and somewhere between May and December occurs the eightythird aniversary of" the writing of “Thanatopsis,”” the first important poem produced by an American and the greatest poem eyer written by a boy of seventeen.

It 1s hinted that the fire which destroyed Harry Bell's house in Elkhart township was the work of an incendiary. It has been pretty conclusively proyen that the house and barn were on fire at the same time, which would indicate that the torch had been applied to both buildings. We can’t belieye that our community holds a wretch, so lost to reason and honesty, to be guilty of applying the torch to a house occupied by a defenceless woman and children. Hanging would be too light a punishment for such a wretch.
