Jasper county correspondent in Goodland Herald: “One day last week Mrs. Matt James was gathering Up her poultry and on going to the barn she found her 25 r pound Tom turkey on a chicken hen’s nest, and she just left him there, and two days later he was still found in the same place. So her son Fred concluded he would get a box and fix a nest and set the old gobbler just for fun. He did so, and at this writing we have proof to say the old Tom has put in eight days as. faithful as his mate could have done. If you doubt this item jus'tcall and see. We know it to be a faci.” The Chicago Times says: The Indiana folks have probably done the right thing more completely than anybody. A great, cool room, that takes up half the third story of the Hoosier building, has been fitted up exclusively for luncheon parties. The room has a clean linoleum floor, its many windows are white curtained, and it is filled with broad white tables, where whoever comes in may eat. There are polite servants in attendance and big pitchers of ice water are scattered everywhere. Hundreds of people come to this room every pleasant day. From 11 o’clock to 12 it is a merry place.' The lunchers here are quite different from the dejected people who perch on steps, lumber sheds, and piles of stuff, and munch dry food in thtf lower end of the gtoufads.

The Fourth was observed in Rensselaer in a quiet way. About 100 of her citizens spent the day at the World’s Fair. Others went to various other points.

At the college about 400 persons enjoyed the day listening to speakiug, music, races, base ball and other amusements. Other points throughout the county which celebrated were Wheatfield, Blackford and Firman. Next year it is expected that the only celebration to be held in the county will be one at Rensselaer, and it will be one to be remetnbered.

T. F. Clark, in order to escape the noise and confusion of a country Fourth of July, decided to spend Tuesday iu a quiet fishing trip near Stackhouse’s bridge. In company with a merry party of his relatives ho left for the fishing grounds. Reaching the grounds he hunted out a quiet spot and casting his line, waited for a bite. Not a bite rewarded his efforts until far in the aftbrnoon, when a 27inch pike was landed on the bank. The weight of the fish straightened out the hook and with a mighty flop the fish landed in mud aud • water. But Clark was bound his • prize should not escape and jumped in after it, sinking threa. feob-ttt the mud and water. He saved the fish, however, and brought it back to town with him—er at least he says he did—but did not exhibit it to any of his friends.

The Columbian Athletic Club, of Roby, has brought suit against Sheriff Friedrich and John Brown, William C. Murphy and Henry Friedrich, his bondsmen, claiming ijMO.OOO damages. The pontiff alleges that it is a duly prganized corporation, ex * isting under the laws of Indiana, its business to give boxing ami wrestling matches at Roby, and that at great expense it has erected a pavillion and engaged some <pthe famous of the day to appear and give exhibitions of skilliin boxing aud wrestling. It &.. also alleged, that several thousand people, each paying assembled to witness . the exhibition. Jt is further charged that the sheriff and his deputies unlawfully forced theft way within, the inclosure and arrested the persons who wdre giving the exhibition, whereby the plaintiff was dam • aged as claimed. An injunction is also demanded to prevent in terference with similar exhibitions which may be given in the future. TJiey are playing a great big game of bluff; Sheriff Friedrich did not interfere with their fight, neither did he disturb the contests. Such a bluff will scare no one.-*-Hammond News.

Come into the woodshed, dear sonny, come into the woodshed with me, for I feel it my duty, my honey, to double you over my knee. There’s a shingle prepared for our coming, a long one of well seasoned oak, and I purpose to set it a-humming, and wake the dull atmosphere, smoke. Pause now till I read the indictment, or rather indictments, of sins and cork up your show of excitement until the real circus begins. Of late I have noted with sorrow, you lingered when school was dismissed, and promised each day that the morrow should see you this folly resist. I’m also informed by your mother that Sunday you went to the spring and soused your half-witted brother and killed a few birds with your sling; and more I’ve been told of your tying an innocent frog to a stick, (tat, tut, there is no use of lying) andletting it float down the creek. Moreover you know what I told you the time we fished at the brook and how I was tempted to scold you for putting live frogs on your hook. And worse than all stains down your chin, solid interests subserving. It’-; time for the fun to begin. So into the woodshed, my beauty, wfil' go with the steadiest nerves; now watch your old clad do hig duty, and try to get onto fei*ffliyyss. —Exchange, Smoke the Mendoza cigar.
