She snaps one of her buttons on the pants of a married man and he is then compelled to buy a box in order to explain to his wife where he got it.

(irahiuii. of thev I'arl Kerord, KeeeUe Injuries That l'rove Fatal. Goshen, Ind., July 2U. Editor E. i.ee Graham, of the New Paris Hecord, died last night from injuries received yes'erday forenoon in hiä printing oilice. He was running his Washington hand piess and the belt broke throwing him to the floor, the back of his neck striking the press, rupturing the middle menengacal artery, causing apoplexy later in the day and the entire paralysis of the right side. He fixed the belt 3nd worked until 2 o'clock when he became ill and stirted for a doctor. Before reaching the physician's oilice he sank in the street and was unable to speak, dying at tive minutes of six. He leaves a wife and Bix-months-ola child in poor cir cumstances, and last night a collection was made up for them. Graham was a printer and belonged to the Interna tional Typographical union, allowing his dues to lapse in the la6t year. Au thorities will probably have to bury him. He was formerly associated with Editor St rayer, of the Ashley Timee, in publishing a paper at Montpelier, Ohio, though he came to New Paris from Camden, Mich. Nothing is known by hi9 widow of his antecedents. Tahles Turned. The game of ball at the fair grounds Detween the lawyerB and court house officials resulted in favor of the court house team. This was the second game, the first being won by the lawyers. The lawyers were confident of winning as in the first game they had little trouble in defeating the court house team. Yesterday the tables were turned and the way the boys found Pitcher StevenB was ttrrible they all seemed to have their batting eye with them and two or three base hits were as easily made as singles in ordinary games. Ney Stevens and Adam Wise were the batteries for the lawyers and Clint Bondurant and Miller were the repre sentatives of the court house team They are all oli ball players but their time has passed when they can hold the boys down to a few hits and count the strike outs with two figures. The star play was Ilarley Logan's home run after 2 balls and 2 strikes had been called. The hit was a clean drive over the right fielder's head and Ilarley was as much surprised as anybody at making it. The first inning the lawyers failed to score and the court house officials found that 5 notches were on their side of the etick when Clerk Wiltfong found he had three holes in his bat. In the second, third and fourth each added a few but the court house boys were out to win and did not let the legal talent get within the danger line At the end the 6ixth inning Umpire Thomson declared the court house team the winner by a score of IV to 12. The lawyers are not satisfied and the deciding game will be played next week to see who is champion. Hilton Coon's 1'lay Repeated. A large crowd witnessed "Under the American Flag" at the opera house Fri day night.

Carl Kloepfer afforded a strong support in his impersonation of the devil-dare Spanish officer. The hero of the play as well one of heroes of the evening was Howard Helm. No one entered into the spirit of each situation with more naturalness than he. The Irish was acted "fit to kill" by Chester Gillain. Outside of a specialty by Howard Helm, he made the fun for the evening. As for the girls, they did remarkably well. Miss Fertig established a repti tation as a delightful actress, and as much can be said of Miss Kaufman. It' Free to Our Header.

HUNT FOR ABDUCTOR.

THOUSANDS OF PERSONS SCOUR INDIANA ROADS FOR JOHNSON. M ranker is C'apturt-d Near Itnurbon and Narrowly Km-hiim Iteiiii; Iy ncliftl Nellie ltrfrt Witt Was Kidnnped, Stn in i Swamp Sfurrlirft Art- Arnird With Uupcs him! Will Hang the Ortender. The following special telecrams appeared in the Chicago Chronicle of this morning: Bourbon, Ind., July 30 The many minors and clews to the whereabouts of pretty Nellie Rerger, who was enticed awav from her home ten davs asro by a man calling himself Johnson under promise of remuneration if she would only stay two weeks in Roches ter, culminated in a great man hunt today, and the various roads are posted like army camps. If the people are convinced that a strange man, who gives his name as James Sullivan, who was captured today, is the abductor his chances for life are few. The missing girl's parents are so prostrated they can give no aid aside from showing her picture and pieces of the dress she wore. Saw Her in the Wood a. Thursday Mrs. McKee, of Bloomingsburg, a hamlet near here, was picking berries in a dense swamp near here when 6he came upon Nellie Berger sitting on a stump with her clothes in a tattered condition and her eyes swollen from cryincr. while alongside of her was I a villainous-looking man. Nellie cried aloud when Mrs. McKee was seen, whereupon the man slapped her and with an oath said: ' Shut up, you'll cry worse than that before you get through with me." This bo frightened Mtp. McKee tt.at she ran home, told the neighbors and tried to get them to hunt for the girl, but they did net do so at once. Friday email pquade of men went out but ruurned at night, having found no trace of the girl or her adductor. Sat urday 300 men and boys searched the woods and one man found a bloody handkerchief and a tie, which were supposed to have belonged to the girl. This morning there were thousands of persons in town and at 12 o'clock a line of march was formed a mile long and the whole country searched. Supi-iou Stranger i Captured. A suspicious looking strange man was captured, whose stones were so conflicting that he was taken to town and the angry crowd was only preven ted from lynching him by the 6tern but cool words of Graham Hose and the girl's father and Mrs. McKee of the identity of the man. The crowd was not satisfied with this and demanded that he be put in decent clothes, as his scarcely hid his nakelness. The pris oner demurred, but the crowd took hini to a Etable near by and tore the clothes from him forcibly, putting on the new ones. The excited men were armed with all conceivable Rinds of deathdealing weapons and did not attempt to hide the ropes they carried. When the captive emerged from the bain the crowd grew furious and cries of -'Where's Nellie?" rent the air, but they were hushed by Mrs. McKee, who said: "People, that may be him, I can't say. Don't do anything rash." The prisoner was put under strong guard and taken to jail, where he will be held on bus picion. Sketch of Missing iirl. Rochester, Ind., July 30 Nellie Berger is only 18 years old and had a spotless reputation when she lived in this city. She is of a very modest demeanor and no one who knows her will believe that she is voluntarily absenting her self from home. Her parents are wel to do, having recently inherited severa thousand dollars. There are three sis ters, and Nellie sometimes worked for the neighbors and spent one year in the family of Attorney G. W. Hoi man in Rochester. The man who took her away has been tracked from Michigan, where he is wanted for horse stealing, and it is learned that he stopped several times on the way to hire girls, always saying he lived a few miles away and wanted them in his home. At West Liberty Ind., hu succeeded in securing a girl who when sixteen miles from home discovered his designs were improper and fought her way out of the buggy and escaped. Tonight it is feared by some that he has escaped from the woods with the aid of an accomplice, and that the girl is still in his possession. New Form of Money Order. Beginning September 15, a new form of postoflice order will be brought into use, and will be a great improvement on the ona now given by the postollice. The greatest change in the system will be in the giving of a receipt with each order. The receipt will be the exact fac simile of the original order when it is filled out. This method of making the fac simile will be conclusive proof that such an order was issued. If the order is lost in transmission this receipt will be redeemed by the oilice after a reasonable lime has elapsed for search to be made for the missing order. The price for the orders remai .s unchanged. Death ol an )11 Citizen. Samuel Lehr was born in Northhampton county, la., Oct. 20, 1820, and died in Bremen, Ind., July 20, 1809, at the age of 73 years and U months. He was one of the sixtee'i children of Samuel Lehr, who with his three brothers emigrated to this country from (Jermany in revolutionary times. In 1828, with bis parents, he moved to Starke county, Ohio, locating near Canton. In 1810 he came to St. Joseph county, Ind., where he married Malinda Geisselman, Jan Ctn, 1812. la 1&46 be moved with bia

family to German township, settling in the big forest, four miles east of Bremen, where he resided until 1&2 when he moved to Bremen. He was the father of 13 children, S b ys and 5 girls, 4 b;ys and 3 girls surviving him. He had 37 grand-children and 6 great-grandchildren. Mr. Lehr was one of the sturdiest of German pioneer? of this section, always robust and hearty until receiving a bad fall 6ome two years ago, which finally resulted in his death. He was a carpenter by trade and a hard worker up to the time of his death,

having worked on roofs and top ot buildings a few short weeks ago. In the early days he has often taken his carpenter kit on his back and walked 30 miles to his work on Harris prairie, hen at the end of a couple of weeks, ionie agaiu, in the same manner to make arrangements so his family could live durinc another period of his work away from home. He was sober, honest in his dealings and peaceable with all mankind. The world is better for Samuel Lehr's having lived in it. The funeral services were conducted by Hev. J. 1). Coverstone at the LT. B. church last Sunday. A lUd Wreck. About 11:45 p. m. Saturday a serious wreck occurred on the P., Ft. W. & C. railroad near the Michigan street viaduct. A freight was standing on the main track while the engine was taking water. The second section, a doubleheader, was running on short time and crashed into the rear end, smashing the caboose and two fiat cars. Both engines were derailed, and the track was badly torn up for several rail lengths. The air brake tailed to work, and as all freights are dependent upon the new style of brake (air) to stop the train, men were helpless to stop it in time to avoid the accident. No one was in the caboose, but the engineer sprained his back badly in jumping from the engine to the bottom of the embankment, a distance of 30 feet. Traffic was delayed several hours, but the wrecker from Ft. Wayne had the track cleared for the morning excur sion. The Plymouth wreck crew, in charge of C. Teft, was called and had one of the engines on the track before the Ft. Wayne crew arrived. John Parr had his fcot crushed by the falling of a T rail while at work. Dr. Wilson says the injury is not as serious as at first thought and expects to 6ave the foot. Omirant im- 1'nrtly Kaised. The authorities at Goshen have re moved the quarantine from the neigh borhood of the smallpox case, and con lined it to the house. The fence has been taken away, and the people living in that vicinity are now free to come and go unhindered. Frank Foulks is quite well, and is only restrained as an extra precaution. Wednesday night Foulk's grocery store was fumigated. Charlie F mlk's and his father, who have been quarantined since the illness of Frank, were also liberated that night. The doctors say that there is o possible danger of anybody catching the disease from any of these people from entering the 6tore. AT THK CHI KCHKS. ST. PAUL'S REFORMED CIIUKC1I. Sunday night's services at St. Paul's Reformed church were well attended. We were honored with the presence of a goidly number of visitors from other churches of town, whom we were glad to welcome in our midst. The sermon was based on Is. 0; subject, Visions: 1, of (Jod; 2 of the world; 3; of self. The C. E. meeting was led ty Miss Minnie Zumbaugh. united bketiire:;. Jude, verse 24, "To Him who is able to keep you from falling," was the text of the morning sermon. The christian occupies a dangerous position. He mav fall into erroneous views which will result in disaster to the soul. Such will be the case if he is led to believe that the final reward of the righteous and unrighteous will be the same or if he concludes that there is no hereafter. If he does not fall into error of doctrine he may into error of spirit. lie may lack love in his heart or he may fall into unbelief or fanaticism of self conceit. Then he is exposed to the danger of falling into outward sin. Rut from all this our Lord is able to keep us. Ry His word He instructs us in our duty and warns us of our danger and by His Grace he keeps us in the right way. "Speaking with profit," was the theme at night. "What shall I profit you except I shall speak to you either by revelation or by knowledge or by prophesying or by doctrine." 1 Cor. 14:6. The truths of Cod's word was the basis of the Apostle's teaching and preaching and bo today the preacher should not get away from the truths of the bible. Hut it is not only necessary to speak with profit but we should also hear with profit. We should give diligent heed to the messages that come to us through His Word and His servants. The ollicial board unanimously voted a vacation to the pastor which he thinks of taking during a part of the heated month of August. The Sunday-school is considering the matter of a picnic which it thinks of having In the near future. rilESHYTEKIAN CIIUKCII. The service Sunday morning was attended by a large congregation. There was no evening service, and according to arrangement there will be none till the first of September. The sermon Sunday was from the words "That which hath been is now." The opening sentences were: "Today is the child of yesterday. We are what we are today because of what we were yesterday. Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walk-

Then the point was made that everything produces after its kind whether in the material kingdom or in the spiritual. Corn come6 up corn; wheat produces wheat: sin produces sin, while righteousness produces righteousness. So men, principles, habits, ideas, vices all have children whose features betray thtir parentage; 60 that no parent has a right to expect a child to be better than its father and its mother. "That which hath been is now in regard to the ilaws and failures of Life. Likewise "that which hath been is now" is true with respect to that which is good and profitable in life. We should be good in order to produce good. Thea we will not be sorry today for what we were yesterday, nor will we fear tc be tomorrow what we are today. The sabbath-school had an unusually interesting lesson, and Sunday's session was rendered the more aelightful and profitable by reason of an appropriate "talk" given by the Hon. II. (1 Thayer. Mr. Thayer spoke in a reminiscent vein, going back many years to bring up the history of the Presbyterian sabbath-school in this city, with which he was long connected and ol which he wTas for 6even years the etlicient superintendent. In his judgment there is nothing better than being a member of, and a hard worker in, some sabbath-school. Our school is always glad for the presence and words of this pleasant speaker and true and tried friend. ST. THOMAfc UIU'KCII. Two more members of the church were made Sunday by the baptism of two children. The majority of choice for the annual picnic favors an excursion to Lake Maxinkuckee. The beautiful festival of the Transfiguration is coincident August , lsW, with the tenth Sunday after Trinity. The Hev. Dr. J. W. McKenzie, rector of Howe School, was a caller at the rectory last Monday morning. M. E. CIIl'ltCH. Services Sunday were better attended, the weather being delightful. The pastor preached on the law of the spirit of life in Christ. Horn. 8: 2. In the evening he gave an account of the leading features of the Interna tional Kpworth League meeting as witnessed by himself. It had the enthusiasm of vast numbers. The buoyancy of youth, the wisdom of men and women of mature thought was poured out in forms of beautiful speech. Loyalty to the Hag grows strong because ol mutual acquaintance with representatives of every section ot our common country. Courage for righteousness is engendered under the recital of victories for truth and right. Day gleams of the triumphs of the cause of Christ in every land stirs holy ambitions to live as Christ lived. A Cliilti lvil imp p'l. A twenty-months-old daughter of Mrs. August Ilagerman of South Mend, was kidnapped about noon Friday. She had placed it in a hammock in the yard while she was preparing dinner and when she looked for it, it was gone. The police were called but as yet have not discovered the child. It is thought that a strange giri who was seen about the house, is responsible for the disappearace of the baby, though a few think gypsies took it. Written With a Sharp StUk. It takes a strike to make laboring men stand around. The fizzle of the soda fountain is a financial success. Running a sewing machine might be properly termed a home run. A man always draws a good hand when he isn't playing for chips. Words of sympathy are worse than useless to a man who is starving. Always put oil until tomorrow that which should not be done today. There will probably be a good deal of watered stock in umbrella trust. Some fools actually go hungry that they may gratify their desire for fine clothes. It must be exasperating to a hotrtempered wife to have a bald-headed husband.
