The spring Installment of taxes became due on January 1st and taxpayers will have to May 1st to pay same. After that date they will become delinquent. A Baltimore girl has married a man whom she had arrested for picking her pocket. Perhaps she thinks a fellow who is able to find a woman's pocket without assistance will be a bandy fellow to have around the house.

Miss Myrtle Boyce, who has been visiting her sister in this city returned to her home at Argos Saturday, The Elks of Warsaw are making

preparations to celebrate Lincoln's birthday on the evening of February 12. .

It is stated officially that last year passenger business on the lines of the Pennsylvania east of Pittsburg was the largest Id the history of the company, the receipts nearly doubling those of 1901. Mrs. Robert M. Morrill, whose busband died a few months ago, was teriously ill at the time of his death and she has been growing worse ever since. There seems to be a general breaking down of her entire system. A lake 12 miles long covers the farm lands along the Wabash tracks between Huntington and Fox t Wayne, the water coming from heavy rains and thaws, and which the large ditches through that section could not readily carry off. The water is said to have been gradually increasing on the Kankakee marsh since winter began. . and the prospects are hat it will be very high this spring, which no doubt delights the gunners, as the ducks never fail to be plenty when there is plenty of water. . Thirty years ago on the 28th day of January the mercury marked 22 degress below zero, and on the 29th it registered 30 below." Twenty years ago it registered 30 degrees below, January 31, but the sun came up clear and bright and the temperature rose rapidly during ths day,

The brewers of Indiana could not

possibly have chosen a more unpro-. p.tlous time than the present to ask for a modification of any provision of the Nicholson law. Wisdom and discretion should have restrained them from raising an issue under existing conditions. South Bend Times. . In an entire year only one person was killed on the railways of Great Britain. ;ln ttuee months 845 persons have been killed and 11,162 injured on Americans lines. The reason for this is plain it is a much more serious matter to kill a person on an English railroad than it is in America'. , Senator Kittenger, of Anderson, Thursday, abused Senator Parks unmercifully because Mr. ,Parks opposed Increasing the salaries of the tax commissioners from $2,000 to 53,000 a year. The people will sustain Mr. Parks. There is no reasoQ why a tax commissioner should have more than $2,000 a year. The Cerro Gordo (111.) New Era says that on Wednesday of last week Ira Leedy husked 182 bushels of corn for F. M. Chapman. This is the great est number of bushels ever husked by one man in one day. Ira has husked over 5.000 bushels this fall. He is a Kosciusko county boy and was raised near Pierceton. Crawford Fairbanks, the. well-known Terre Haute capitalist, offered that city the handsom: donation of $50,000 for a public library, provided the city furnished a site and maintained' the library, and that it should be named in honor of Mr. Fairbanks's mother, Emaline Fairbanks. The council accepted the gift on these conditions. The brewers bill, repealing7 the blanket remonstrance provision of the Nicholson law, Is dead. The house, at Its session Thursday afternoon, by a decisive vote of 65 to 27 Indefinitely postponed the measure. Mr. Kirkman, of Wayne, made the motion to kill the bill. Representative Lemert, of this county, was one of the 27 members who voted for the bill. Miss Lydia Baum, known on the stage'as Miss Pearl E. Marshal, died Monday of pneumonia in the Georgetown hospital at Washington, She was the daughter of P. G. Baum of Laporte, Ind. In, addition to being an actress she won a wide reputation as a contributor to magazines of articles on dramatic subjects, narry Brunke, who killed Lee Schearer In a saloon fight some months ago at St. Joseph, is now being lionized by a constant throng that brings flowers and dainties to the jail. Shearer's grave bas probably had no flowers since the funeral. Many women seem to think that a live murderer is belter than a dead hero or a good citizen. The month of few but wonderful days is here. We welcomed it by watching for the ground hog's shadow. Soon every one will have an opportunity to square animosities on St. Valentine's day and then to give It a farewell with a birthday celebration of George Washington makes it the most prominent month in the year. The postoffice appropriation bill passed by the bouse contains an important provision that has not attracted much attention. It provides that hereafter postoffices shall accept for transmission In the mails quantities of not less than 2,000 identical pieces of third cr fourth class matter, without postage stamps affixed, provided that the postage is fully prepaid. We learn from the Salt Lake Tribune that the George H. Streyeil Hardware Co., of Salt Lake City, has been reorganized, has enlarged Its capital stock and now Is the largest wh esale hardware company between the Missouri, river and the Pacific coast. W. B. Outcalt, formerly of Plymouth, who has been employed by the firm for several years was elected secretary of the organized company. Writing to renew his subscription, Rev. G. L. Mattox, now at Newvilie, Ind., says: "The Tribune comes to us every week and Is prized like letters from, friends. It gives us the news from our old home. We V ke our new field quite well, Mrs. Mattel's health Is much improved. We have just closed a meeting at Mount Pleasant .with 22 accessions and 25 conversions. V Regards to all old friends." Most people have heard of boarders leaving a landlord and generally leaving a goodly sized unpaid board bill behind, them at the same time. It remains for Mishawaka to furnish a reversal of this statement and send out news to the world of a landlord and his wife who went away between two. days and left some thirty-rlvs or forty boarders to wake in the morning in cold rooms and with no prospects of breakfast. The, report from Detroit is that fully 10,000 freight cars were blocked at that point Thursday because of lack of 'facilities for crossing the Detroit river. The Ice blockade has been raised for a week, but the roads have not caught up (with the Immense arrears that had piled up, there being loaded cars, both east and vest bound, from the Michigan Central, the Pere Marquette the Grand " Trunk, the Wabich and tha Canadian Pacific.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes has made a second and emphatic; ruling that a retail liquor license must be paid by every druggist or soda-water dealer who dispenses light wines or soda flavored therewith. The commissioner's ruling is, broad enough to cover all kiüds of soft drinks" compounded or flavored with anything, even mildly intoxicating. A-man calling himself Gustave CharlesEarthman, residence unknown, was picked up by the marshal on the streets of Laporte, Monday and on Wednesday was a j judged insane. He walks constantly, is nervous, talks incessantly about President Roosevelt haying beaten him out of a large sum of money and claims to be the best dancer in the world. He says he is 38 years old. All the business men of Nappanee, except one, took an active part in bringing about an adjustment of the strike in thzt prosperous town. The emphatic manner in which the Coppes, Zook & Mutschler Co., declared their determination to remove their establishment to some other place unless operations were resumed the following Monday morning prompted united action and led to satisl'actorv results. William Richey arrived Wednesday from Lebanon, Indian Territory, for a visit of ten days and the transaction of some business here. He has charge of the Chickasaw orphanaga, and has 34 Indian boys and 20 girls to care for. He says they are easily managed and no prorate or vulgar language Is ever used by them, ne is much pleased with that country and thinks that there are good chances for any honest, sensible, industrious man to make money.

TERRIFF1C EXPLOSION Miss Anna Dunn's Stove Blown in Pieces and Windows of the Room Broken. The occupants of PackarcVs block and people on the streets near the building were startled Thursday, by a report almost like a cannon in Miss Anna Dunn's picture gallery. Miss Dunn came down as usual and after lighting her fire threw' into the stove some excelsior that had been used for packing goods which she re ceived Wednesday, She fortunately went into an adjoining room after throwing this kindling in the stove for she had had scarcely left the room when the' stove was blown into a score of pieces, a. window near it was blown out, two sky lights broken, and ashes scattered over the entire room.

FATAL WORDS. The Slip Tnat Doomed MaJr Aadr . stad Saved Weit Pelat. .At Tarrjtown there is a monument nrmounted by a bronze flgnre erer en duty that marks the spot where on Sept. 23, 1780, a man sprang, as It were, out of the ground, seized the bridle of the traveler's horse arid at the same instant demanded a halt. Two other men joined the first, and to these. three the traveler offered the authority for John Anderson to pass on public business and signed by the major general commanding West Point For one moment the pass sufficed; Then there was doubt. In that moment of hesitation the traveler's eyes rested upon a coat that one of the men wore which he had obtained while a prisoner not long before, and, recognizing the garb of the Hessian soldiers attached to the British" army, the traveler concluded hastily that he had fallen among friends instead of foes. "I see you belong to the army down below, as I do," he remarked, with a slight gesture of the head toward the river. Fatal words! They sealed the doom of Adjutant Major General John Andre of the British army. He was quickly dismounted and searched without result, and still there was delay. Some latent sense of required vigilance incited these humble militiamen to renewed search of the traveler's person. West Point was saved. A Horte'i Sense of Smell. A horse will leave musfy. hay untouched in his bin, however hungry. He will not drink of water objectionable to his questioning sniff or from a bucket which some odor makes offensive, however thirsty. His intelligent nostril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the fairest of hands, with coaxings that would make a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a mouthful at a gulp. A mare Is never satisfied by either k sight ' or whinny that her colt Is really! her own until she has a certified nasal proof of the fact. A blind horse, now living, will not allow the approach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The distinction is evidently made by his sense of smell and at a considerable distance.' Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surrounding fence."" The sense of smell informs them of its prox- j Imity. Others will, when loosened from the stable, go direct to the gate or bars opened to" their accustomed feeding grounds and when desiring to return, after hours of careless wandering, will distinguish one outlet and patiently await its opening.
