A street car conductor was given a nickel for car fare by a chinaman who took a nickel out of his ear. The conductor then turned to a Boswell girl who took a ten cent piece out of her mouth. She received the Chinaman’s nickel in change and promptly put it where she had taken the dime from—her rosebud mouth. It is reported that Earl Mann has been heard from. It is said that with a number of others, he enlisted in the English army at New Orleans and was sent to South Africa to fight the Boers. The Journal has endeavored to trace the rumor to its sonrce, but has been unsuccessful, and thinks there is nothing in the story. The Pan-American Exposition is getting lots of free advertising these days by country papers willing to insert any kind of “filling” as long as free plates are furnished. The Pan-American exposition will no doubt be a great show, but it should be compelled to pay for its advertising like other business conderns. The clerks of Starke, Laporte and Newton counties have sent SSOO to the Auditor of State collected for hunting licenses from non-residents oflndiana. The licenses cost $25 a year. Lake county,' which will probably collect more than any other, has not yet reported. The law provides for monthly reports where money is collected. An Oklahoma postmaster sent the following notice to the postmaster general: “Dear Sur:—i wish to notifl you that yoirdo not nead to send eny male to this ofias next week.

A letter from the commissioner of the land department received in Indianapolis says: “Soldiers have no prior rignt to enter upon and locate lands in this reservation over other citizens.” John Thomas Drake, the 17 year old son of Mrs. Mary E. Drake, died at their home on River street, Tuesday afternoon, of pleura pneumonia, after a week’s illness. Deceased was a member of the Junior class ofthe Rens. selaer public schools and was beloved by all his companions. Requiem mass will be held over the remains at the Catholic church at '8 o’clock this morning, after which the body will be taken to Illinois for burial. Talk about your absent minded men! Frank Meyers, the Rensselaer Nasby, was up round DeMotte hunting, the other day. He started for home and at Shelby he couldn’t find his hip boots. The telephone was immediately put into service and just as Frank was relating his tale of woe to his DeMotte friend he glanced down and discovered that he was standing in those very boots. What he said then burned out all the fuses on the line and spoiled his chance for any successful fishing this summer.—Wheatfield Telephone.

OUR TOWNSMAN HONORED.

T. J. McCoy Has Been Appointed a Member of the Governor’s Staff. T. J. MeOoy, of our city, and Republican chairman of the 10th congressional district, was notified last Saturday by Gov. Dnrbin, that he had been appointed a member of the governor’s staff, a position of much honor, but no remuneration. The duty of the staff is to appear with the governor on ceremonial occasions and when the state national guard is called out. Mr. McCoy has accepted the honor, and went to Indianapolis Tuesday to be measured for his uniform.

STATE BOARDS’ NEW MEMBERS.

Governor Announces Several Appointments. Gov. Durbin has appointed the following members of boards: Voting Machine CommissionPrank L. Powell of Madison, Albert R. Thompson 01 Indianapolis and Hugh Dougherty of Bluffton. & State Board of Health—Dr. W. N. Wishard of Indianapolis and Dr. Clark Cook of Fowler. Dr. Wishard was reappointed. Dr. Cook succeeds Dr. E. D. Laughlin of Orleans. One of the new duties of the State Board of Health is to determine when straw board and other plants may dump refuse into streams. Frank Powell of the Voting Machine Commission is a brother of Nathan Powell, who was a Republican candidate for Congress last fall. A. R. Thompson is a real estate man of Indianapolis and a graduate of Purdue University. The law provides that one member of the commission shall understand mechanical engineering. Mr. Thompson is a Republican. Hugh Dougherty, the Democratic member, is a well-known banker of Bluffton.

The Designer.

The Designer for May contains the latest styles for spring apparel and millinery, and gives a generous supply of both. The fiction in this number is most interesting, comprising three short stories: “The Lost Queen of the Papogos,” to which was awarded the second prize in The Designer’s short story contest: “An Open Session of the Cozy Club,” and “The Mystery of an Apple Dumpling,” “A Mayflower Drill,” and “Selections for the Recitationist,” suitable for Memorial Day, are particularly appropriate for this month. “The Modern Bedroom” is discussed intelligently and in interesting fashion, and “For Health and Beauty” gives recipes for some “Harmless Cosmetics.” There are many dainty articles “For the Writer” illustrated and their construction described, and numerous designs for knitting, crochet, and tatting are also presented. “Congenial Fields for Women Workers” treats this month of “Women in Law,” and “Coiffure a la Mode” tells the fair readers of “The Designer how to arrange their tresses in becoming fashion. The new Princess or Corselet skirt has its construction clearly explained in “Points on Dressmaking.” “Books of the day” draws the attention to the best literature which has lately appeared, and “Among Ourselves” reviews topics of interest to women. “Etiquette Hints,” “Nursery Lore,” “Household Advice” and Cookery Recipes for Spring are all presented in the most attractive and practical manner. The May number, by the way, begins the fourteenth volume of The Designer.

Court Notes.

The maintenance case of Mr. and Mrs. John Schofield was heard Monday. Mr. Schofield has disappeared with the two children, and was not present. His present whereabouts are unknown. Mrs. Schofield was granted the custody of one of the children and her quarterly allowance was raised from $25 to $36. As Mr. Schofield still has some notes in the hands of his brother, the maintenance money can be collected. An attachment for contempt of court has been issued against Mr. Schofield and placed in the hands of the sheriff and if he can be found he will be brought before the court for not obeying its previous order, which was to allow the children to go with either parent they chose and to allow the mother to visit them whenever she cared to. At the death of E. W. Morris, Wm. R. Nowels was appointed adminstrator. Charles Morris objected, however, and by agreement of the parties, Mr. Nowels resigned and J. J. Hunt was appointed in his place. Court adjourned on Tuesday until Monday on account of the indisposition of the Judge.

JOE AND DOE ENTERTAIN.

On the Occasion of Their Twentieth Anniversary—An Unexpected Surprise. Twenty years ago last Friday, Joseph F. Hardman and Miss Dora Purcupile were married, and on that evening their china wedding was celebrated at their pleasant home on South Cullen street. About 60 invited guests participated in this observance of what they all spoke of as “Joe’s and Doe’s china wedding.” It was not only an exceedingly pleasant affair in every respect, but it contained many original and novel features. The invitations were in ryhme, and the recipients were required to send rhyming answers. These rhymes were read to the company and were the source of much amusement. The invitation read as follows:

On the 12th day of April, 1901, We’ve planned for you a little fun, For on this date 20 years ago, Was the wedding day of Joe and Doe. While we are thus together banded. Together we’ll play euchre six handed, So come prepared to “bid up” bold, This event to celebrate that’s 20 years old. It was quite a fashionable affair, also, and elegant new gowns of the latest style were much in evidence. Many elegant and appropriate presents were received. The principal amusement was six handed euchre, and was played with interest and great enjoyment. One feature of the evening, and the most interesting of all, was a complete surprise to everyone: While the hilarity of the guests was at the higest flow, there suddenly appeared among them a W. U. telegraph messenger, and presented a telegram to F. A. Ross, president of the Rational Remedy Co. The telegram was receipted and paid for in all due solemnity, and Mr. Ross showed from his manner that the telegram was something of very serious moment. Asking W. B. Austin if he was not the correspondent of the RecordHerald, he called him aside and showed him the telegram and asked if it had not bettor be read publicly. By this time the guests perceived that the telegram contained something of unusual nature, and their interest and curiosity were at the highest pitch. Mr. Ross then stepped forward and read the telegram, as follows. Elysium. Apr. 12, 1901. F. A. Ross, Rensselaer. Send in four hundred words on the following. Are parties of age? Do parents consent? Is there visible means of support? Application was filed here tonight, by Aubert Linnaeus Berkley, for license to marry Luella McCoy, in the Fall. (Signed) C. UPID, Mgr. Dept. Matches & Flames. The parents of the young lady were present and being called forward they gave their consent to the engagement, and an awnser was wired to 0. Upid that everything was “O. K.’’ and that the license might be issued when wanted. The guilty young couple was next called forward and received “Dr. Ross’ paternal and professional blessing in a style they will not soon forget. Then, accompanied by a fusillade from a 32 caliber revolver, au illustrated scroll was enrolled containing this motto: “Oh souls with but a single thought! Oh, hearts that beat as one, Use Rational remedies as you ought, For troubles just begun.” This was well received by all except the prospective groom, who as a regular physician, felt it his duty to register a kick against the obvious advertisement of “Rational Remedies,” in the motto. The motto was illustrated by a series of six pictures, dipicting “life’s story and troubles” referred to, their subjects being: 1. Two winged hearts that “met by chance the usual way.” 2. Same hearts impaled in mid-air by C. Upid’s Arrow. 3. “Troubles,” in shape of bills, duns, baby carriages, nursing bottles, etc., etc. 4. A breakfast table where a plate is flying through the air, projected by hubby and at wifey’s head; wifey in tears. 6. Reconciliation in each other’s arms, and underneath it the motto: “The only Rational treatment. Use it Doc.” A song of 6or 7 verses was then uproariously sung by the * entire company and the refrain of which was as follows: Cupid’s Chorus (Refrain) Hallelujah ! ‘Tis done t That Son of a Gun, Of a Berkley has won, Luella McCoy. (Repeat) It is needless to say that after so much excitement and exertion the guests had ample appetites for the elegant supper that was served | them. * *

A PROFITABLE SESSION.

The Women’s Baptist Missionary Society of the Montlcello Association Meets Here. The Women’s Baptist Missionary Society of the Monticello Association met with the first Baptist church of Rensselaer on Thursday of last week. The first session began at 10:30 A. M. The president being absent, Mrs. Jeffery took the chair by request. After devotional exercises the printed program was carried out with one or two exceptions. A letter from the president, Mrs, Flora Bailey, containing her resignation, was read by Mrs. Ruby Barcus. Mrs. Haynes, secretary and treasurer, having moved away, it became neoessary to fill her office also. The society elected Mrs. Ruby Barcus, of Rensse' laer, president and Mrs. Hufty, of Mt. Ayr, secretary and treasurer. The afternoon session was calledto order by the new president. Mrs. Strasser’s paper was read by Mrs. Girard and discussed at length by several of those present. The dialogue by two young ladies from Burnettsville was well rendered and little “Dot” Bailey gave a missionary speech which was appreciated by all those present. Rev. P. H. Faulk then gave a talk which resulted in the adoption of the following resolution: We, the women of the Women’s Baptist Missionary Society of the Monticello Association do deplore the system of legalized prostitution which is in vogue in our army in the Philippines and also in Hawaii, and in the name of God and Christian Womanhood do demand its immediate abolution. In the evening the society was addressed by Mrs Jeffery. Mrs. Barcus then recited “The Deacon’s Tenth” in an able manner, after which Rev. N. Carr gave an instructive sermon. The society then adjourned to meet with the Burnettsville church the first Thursday after next Easter. The following ministers showed their interest in the women’s work by their presence: Rev. Bailey, of Burnettsville; Rev. N. Carr, of Franklin College; Rev. Carpenter, of Goodland; Rev. Faulk, of Morocco and Rev. Kellar, of Monon. Mrs. Jeffery, of Indianapolis, oneflof our state workers, was present during every session, as was also Mrs. Thompson, of Goodland, our Home Mission worker, and Mrs. Buck, also of Goodland, who represents the Foreign Mission work. Altogether we feel that the meeting was profitable to

those present.

George R. Masters and Sarah E. Davis. Tobiae Woods and Martha Hahn. The Indianapolis Press, established nearly two years ago, has suspended publication and merged its interests with the News. Mr. Holliday, of the Press, becomes a member of the News copartnership, while Major Richards retires from the newspaper field. The Press, since its establishment, has been one of the best papers in the country and its equal was hard to find, but it is doubtful it it was a paying investment.' The News has also been a first class paper, with few equals, and the combination of the two should make the News the equal of any paper published.
