Taggart and Jones whose daughters were n the boat have practically abandoned the st arch. The only hope now is that the parties have been stranded on some of the low inlands m the Louisiana marches.

So the chewing-gum consolidation, with a capital stock of 815,000,000, is to burgeon forth into full bloom in the merry, merry springtime.

Last Monday afternoon Willis Baud, a youth seventeen years of age, residing eight miles southwest of Bremen, was handling a shot gun, at his home. His little sister aged six years, was playing in the room at the time, when for amusement Willis pointed the gun at her and snapped it. This was repeated several times, and finally young Baud placed a cap on the gun and pointed it at the iittle girl, who was then standing in front of him. The gun was heavily loaded and thd entire charge entered the little girl's right side. The little girl lived about an hour. The only plea that young Baud gives for the deed is "didn't know it was loaded." Bremen Enquirer. From Mondays Dally. Wm.

Elektron Case Decided. The Elektron case which has been attended with so much acxie'y on the part of the former employes of the bi cycle factory, has at last been decided. After a siege of steady grinding in court, and the making of more record than any other case of equal length has ever demanded; the taxes, the cost of the suit, and expense of receivership, have been ordered paid and the proceed are to be divided equally among the workmen.
