Kem went to Culver today to attend Relief Corps No. 226 meeting. The Culver corps is in a fl jur iehing condition. Sap tanks, stock tanks, made of 20 gauge galvanized steel and guaranteed against bursting and freezing. None better made. w2t Forbes. The committee appointed by Mayor Jones at last meeting of council are actively engaged in gathering information of all sorts regarding paving of streets. Homer Zears is placing several im provements on his candy store. Among others is the partitioning off of a room to be UEed during ihe coming summer as an ice cream parlor. Yeeterday a mink invaded the chicken coop of J. II. Riley north of Plymouth and killed twenty-two hens, most of which were laying. Mr. Riley found the blond-thirsty perpetrator under his barn and lost no time in taking vengeance with a shot gun. Cbas. Scott, a breakman on the Fort Wayne road, who is well known in this city, was severely injured yesterday at Warsaw. He was caught between two heavy cars, while attempting to loosen 8 coupling pin. The result was a pinch in which his hip was badly smasned and tnree ribs were broken. The Logansport street railway, power house and all lines, poles, wue, rolling stock, etc., now belong to George J. Marrott and Charles A.

Ina Iliwley, of this city, who is now with the American Volunteers in Wis., is receiving llattering notice from various newspapers. A Milwaukee paper marks her out as Ma sweet voiced woman whose singing is an attraction to every one." The Sheboygan papers Bpeak highly of her accomplishments as a mueican and add that she is a singer of ability. Last night while Miss Olive Thomas was going from the U. H. church to the residence of Sigmund Mayer, she received a severe fall on the sidewalk. At first it was surmised that fihe had broken her leg. She was carried to a near residence, where a physician ascertained the extent of injury. It soon developed that the leg was not broken but was badly sprained. Miss Thorn is is resting easily today but it will be months until she will be entirely well. A remarkable cat is that of Stephen JJagley of this city which every night for the last six months has gone to roost with the chickens. "Gone to roost with the chickens," is to be taken in'its literal sense as pussy actually climbs to roost, often the most crowded one in the coop, and remains there until morn log. The cat has learned to run with the chickens when the latter are called for food. Should the food be of the proper sort pussy partakes and seems to enjoy the feast all the more for the company of her feathered companions. A no iron water mains are frozen bo that it is impossible to draw water from them. This afternoon L.J. South woith

Such a method has been tried with success in many of the surrounding towns and Mr. S. failed only because he was not allowed to make a fair trial. Hardly had the heavy arc-lipht wires been connected with the mains and a circuit established before it was discovered that nearly every telephone bell in town was making a fuiious racket. The explanation is clear. Most of the ground connections to the telephone system are made bv attaching the wire to water-pipes. Could the people 6tand the noise made by the telephone tells it would not take loLg to thaw the pipes. From Saturday's Dally. Save 50 percent by buying axle grease in bulk at Forbes'. w2t Geo.

He is slowly improving however. The Indiana conference of the Evan gelical Association will convene the last week in March at Rochester. Rishotj Rowman will preside. Prof racted meeting has been held at he Ewalt school house for the past week. Protracted services will begin at theMaple Grove church tomorrow. A Rattle Creek, Mich., thief broke in to the house of a colored man who had died during the day and stole the suit of clothes he was to have been buried in. A arsaw man had a clock that wouldn't go and he took it to a jeweler for repairs. The jeweler found 45 bed bug? in the innr portion of the clock's anatomy. Starke county's official records are to be gone over by an expert who is to be set to work at the behest of an organiza lion of taxpayers who think that there are things that are rotten down in Starke. The scholars of the Greenbush school gave an exhibition last night. It was a marked success in every particular. One of the most loudly applauded num oers on me nrosrrum was a dance in burnt cork given by Ed Wade. rti a . . . iim snort, tne engineer, who was seated in the cab when Fireman Yorick tumped and was killed, states that he twice warned the other not to jump. 1 onck, however, was excited and the noise of the escaping steam from the damaged flues teemed to place him be yond the bonds of reason. The result was that he is now a dead man. Unless plans were made which did not come to pass, two of Inwood's prominent young men fought a duel with boxing gloves this noon. The duel was planned on account of a pretty girl, or more explicitly, on account of two pretty girls. The young ladies were recently nominated at a social as candidates for the distinguished posi tion of ;'Queen ot Reauty." Each young man championed his favorite and was forward in descrying the other Thus came the quarrel and the elabor ate plans for a duel. Uncle Tom's Cabin was greeted last evening by an overwhelming audience. l he parquet, uaicony and boxes were lammea. Many people stood up so anxious were they to see the perform ance. Eva and Topsy, Undo Tom Eliza, Lagree, bull dogs and the long eared donkeys were allowed full contro of the stage for two long hours. The jmall boys in the audience were delighted beyond measure. A "out noon today the deal was consummated by which D. E. Snyder came

ip possession of the Wheeler block on the corner of Michigan and Garro streetp. For the said property, he gave :?,C00,cash. A natural conclusion backed by some authority, is that, with in a short time, a handsome business block will be erected. The site is an enviable one and might if properly built up change the business center of the city. From Monday Dally. Marriage license for Feb. 25, Patrick O'Hary am Ota May Snyder. John Lowery is still ill and does not show many eigns of convalercence. P. Dodd, of Jones, Michigan, is visiting his mother, Rebecca Nation, near this city. Chicks like it. Our oyster shell and poultry food. w2t Forres' Seed Store. Jiarbara Myers is about to erect a millinery store on her.property in North Plymouth. Jacob Martin was called to Mentone Sunday on account of the dangerous i IIneeb of his sister. E. Ringle and F. Fer left this after noon for Waterman, 111., where they have secured work. Yesterday the thun ler pealed forth loudly several times. Thunder in February is an oddity indeed. The people of Lapaz are being amus

ed at present by an itinerant artist whom it is said is really good. The rains of last week have swelled Yellow river to twice its natural size. The river is still gaining volume. Mrs. John Rlain was called to Renton larbor today on account of a relapse suffered by her brother in-law J, D. Johnson. Yesterday the house of Sam Haag, between Walkerton and Tyner, was burned to the ground. It was insured for 8100. Wm Marshall, of Albion, called on his cousin Mrs. George Williams today, This is ti e first meeting they have had since they v.-ere children. The protracted meeting at Maple Urove opened with a good attendance. Every prospect is congenial to a suc cessful series of meetings. V. P. Kirk has a readable article in Sunday's Chronicle on the subject of Religion vs. Science." Mr. Kirk sides in with the religionists and puts up a strong argument. Al Clough and Merve Myers caught one hundred fine fish through a hole in he ice at Pretty lake yesterday morn ing, borne ot tne usn were monsters and all were of good size. Ed Gibson has something to talk about which is of far greater moment ban anything which has happeued for a long while. Last night his wife presented him with a daughter. Rev. Werhein and wife and Mrs. Daniel Weis returned to South Rend to day having attended the installation of Rev, Weiss of the German Evangelical church of this city yesterday. Christopher Longren, an old man of some eighty years or more, was brought to the county house yesterday from Polk township. He is unconscious and in a paralyzed condition and cannot last long. A petition has been circulated for paving Sophia street. Who knows but what the aspiring residents of the South Side shall not have brick in front of their houses before the business portion of the city obtains it. The Presbyterians are preparing a song service to be given in connection with the pastor's sermon on the "City of Damascus" next Sunday evening. The program will appear in this paper the latter part of the week. An Elwood man has sued for divorce because his wife has a glass eye and kept the fact concealed from him in their courtship. This concealment she continued until she broke the "glass and a bill came to him for a new one. We are told that D. E. Snyder is anxious to erect a good business block on his lately purchased property, but declines to do so unless the streets are paved. So long as this is the sole obstacle we might state positively that the block will be erected. Last week Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Spitler near Sligo entertained some wenty four young ladies and gentlemen in honor of their son Oliver who had reached the mark of his twenty-first year. A royal repast was served with an abundance of refreshments. The Independent has examined the four booka written by Mabel Horton Rcebe and find them as delightful as profitable. They treat of the four naval heroes: Paul .ones, Oliver Perry, David G. Farragut and George Dewey. The language is plain and the style simple. No better reading matter could be ob tained for boys and girls. The Children' Home. About a score of the Ladies Parish Guild in various vehicles hobbling over hubs or splashiDg through the pools, went up to the Julia E. Work children's home, Thursday, Feb. 23, 18SW, to assist in making garments for the multitude of children. Raskets of provisions were carried specially for thembelves and generally for others. The rector went up abou noon and made an observation of the table of ladies in the smaller dining room, and of the seventy

children in the great dining room from

the wee pickanniny waif to the bigger boys and girls, all enjoying the dinner with their eyes directly on the dishes and furtively on the visitors. It was a little great sight to behold. Devotions were 6aid and a hymn sung at midafternoon, and a tour of inspection made from the rlaming furnance fire in the basement to the water tanks in the attic, with 6nowy sheeted sleeping rooms in the seeond Ptory. The landscape view from every window over rich grain fields and dairy pastures, with the Michigan road and tne Yandalia railway stretching out to north and south, is a perpetual pleasure to ths observing eye, with the city towers in attractive yiew in easy reach by a vigorous walk or a brief ride. Everything in the capacious and convenient home moves on quietly and effectively, God bless and prosper the loving hearts and patient souls of those whose hands minister day by day, night and day, to the comfort of those who otherwise might be outcast and in misery. The Lord bless them and keep them. Importe Mad Ht Itit Own I'irture. The people of Laporte are so jealous of Michigan City that they squirm when confronted by the truth. They are now mad because Everely & Cressner, who compiled a map of that county, did not misrepresent the actual topography of the county in order to give Laporte a boost. The Herald of that place contains the following: 'Laporteana who ordered the new county map made by Everly & Cressner, of Plymouth, are indignant at the way in which Michigan City is made to appear as the county seat, in fact that seems to have been the under-lying principal of the compilers. Michigan City and all the towns tributary to it are made large and prominent in every way while Laporte is made insignificant. Every swamp that ever existed in this vicinity, even though now dry and be ing cultivated, is shown, while the swamps and marsh lands about Michi gan Cry are given as fertile farming ands. Other inacuracies appear. Places lue Waterford, Otis, Ryrou, Sprinfield and Hudson, neither of which has more ban a couple of houses, are made more prominent in some particulars than the city of Laporte. Though the map con tame much information relative to the county there is absolutely nothing to 6how that Laporte is the county seat. It is understood that several Laporteans who ordered maps will refuse to accent them. ' rutting Wealth to Noble I'urpone. P. D. Armour has given S750,000 more to Armour Institute, to increase the value and efliciency of that most worthy institution. That makes nearly three millions he has given to found and maintain the institution. And yet there are people who are always finding fault because there are very rich men. Rut for this ability of some men to ac cumulate from the wide circles of the world the small profits on each transac action there would be no great institutions of learning supported by private benefactions. Think what Chicago would lose if the Armour Institute were to be lost. Elkhart Review. Francis Willard Memorial. Notwitstanding the very inclemen weather jf last Monday the "Heavenly birthday." the anniversary of the death of Miss Willard, was attended by the "faithful few." The afternoon was spent in prayer and praise to Almighty God "for all the saints departed this life in His faith and fear." Many loving and tender memories of a holy life consecrated to God's service were recalled by pen sketches from the great leader's life and lectures, and loving tributes of those who were closely associated with her in her life work for "God and home and native land." Contributed. A Female Swindler. The latest swindle is said to be a woman who claims to be representing a Chicago woolen mill. Her scheme recently worked very successfully in a Southern Michigan town, where she swindled several ladies out of 82.50 each. She is soliciting ordeis for nobby tailor made suits, and after taking her customers' measure, address and money, promises the goods to be delivered within a certain date, but as yet none of the ladles have received their goods. Runaway Hoy Captured. James Peterson, who several times escaped from the orphan's home while it was located in Laporte, ran-away from the institution at Plymouth last week. As he had been sent to the home from Michigan City, Mrs Work wrote to the otlicials there to watch for him and arrest him should he show up. Yesterday he was captured at the home of his grandfather, Peleg Swan, near Mich igan City. The boy will be brought to Plymouth. Tired of Politics. A Washington Dispatch reports Lemuel W. Royse as saying that he will return to Warsaw at the expiration of his term in Congress to resume the practice of law, and that he never expects to leave it again to hold oflice. Mr. Royee is regarded as one of the ablest law) era in the house. Political life has never been much to his liking.

THOMAS li. REED'S GRIEVANCES.

Have Keen Badly Treated and He lias Cause to Feel Hurt. A epecial to the New York World rom Portland, Me., sas it is reported there that Speaker Thomas R. Reed has written to a friend that he will close tiis congressional career with his present erm. After Reed left college, the special goes on to say, he was aided by Weston F. Miliken.then and now a eading Portland businessman. Many years after and during the administra tion of Gen. Harrison. Mr. Reed's old friend was a candidate for collector of this por. Mr. Reed tried his best to secure his appointment, but failed. Mr. Reed took the defeat to heart and said: 'Weston F. Miliken shall yet be collec tor." Recently he succeeded Mr. Miliken was appointed to succeed John W. Heering, and it was said that Reed in the letter referred to said that, having paid the debt of long ago, he felt that he could go back to private life satislied. It is said that he will take into partner ship a Portland lawyer and open an of fice in New York. The tone of the let ter indicated Reed's belief that the presidency is not to be thought of for the present. Reed's retirement, the Terre Haute Gazette sas, would be the removal from public lifeof a man who, whatever his faults, is in mental makeup the strongest one of all the men of his party now in public life. That he is bitter and disapointed is not to be wondered at, all things considered. It would not do to say the presidential nomination of his party was bought awav from him, He probably could not have re ceived it in any event. Had it not been McKinley it would have been Harrison. Rut it. is true that in some states, notably in Louisiana, a delegation fairly elected for him and pledged to him did vote for McKinley and that the men who managed that transfer, one of whom was of infamous character out and in the penitentiary, has since been awarded by appointment to a big feder al oflice in New Orleans. That 6ort of thiog is calculated to make a states man swear. As practiced on John Sherman by Alger it made the Ruckeye statesman swear. And he swore his an?nop" in Krkrtlr f Arrvi Tailor .Myer'n Goods Held. E. A. Myer who has been running a tailor shop in this city for the past year and who but recently sold out his busi ness, undertook to leave town Thürs day without settling up some claims against him, among which was a bill of S3 for city taxes. City Treasurer Wil son called upon him Wednesday and he promised to come over and settle Thürs day afternoon. Mr. Wilson learned what train he expected to leave upon and sent the receipt to the depot. When presented, Myer positively refused to settle and boarded his train for NewarkOhio. Mr. Wilson attached his goods which were then in a freight car. Myer was notified by telegram and at once wired Mr. Lillybridge to pay the claim As soon as the goods were released County Treasurer Yink filed another attachment for county taxes, to the amount of seven dollars. This is an experience which the city and county treasurers say will happen to every fel low that tries to beat the local govern ment out of their dues. Tailor Myer will have costs to pay in addition to his taxes. It is not known as yet whether there are any other claimants. Miss South worth Entertains. The "Young Peoples Society for the Propogation of Nonsense" met Friday evening at the home of Miss Mary bouthworth. The occasion was as novel as interesting. Each young lady was decked out in Martha Washington style, with white apron, kercrnei and powdered hair. The amusements for the evening had been planned by one skillful in the art to please. There was no hitch in the merriment or no embarassing lull in conversation. The society, which well merits its name, wil meet with Miss Grace Hoover on Fri day next. Keiueinbern the Printer on His Deathbed Valparaiso Messenger: "One day last week we received 812 from Wisconsin for a printing bill that bad been earned 20 yeare ago. On his deathbed the hus band enjoined his wife to pay Editor Zimmerman 12 for a printing debt he owed him. The wife discharged this debt last week and we forthwith mailed her a receipt in full of all demands." No doubt the old fellow wanted a a good obituary notice in the community where he had been reared. State Teachers Meeting. The Northern Indiana Teachers' Association will beheld in Fort Wayne the last week in March. The session will extend over three days. Those in charge have beeu assurtd of the presence of several educators of national repute and an excellent program is being arranged. May Hide on the Sidewalk. The Elkhart city council has decided to continue in force the ordinance giving bicyclists the right to use the sidewalks for a license lee of 82 for the year beginning March 1. There were long petitions for euch action and a small remonstrance against it.
