The eclipse of the morn took place last evening, on schedule time, but it was not much of a .spectacle here, as the clouds made it impossible to see the eclipse with any degree of clearness. J. L. Smith of Walker Tp., met with a very severe accident yesterday morning by being struck in the mouth with an ax. The aloealar plate was broken, the tongue badly lacerated and several teeth knocked loose. He was brought to Dr. Horton’s office where he was treated. , ■- The state board of health is having the papers drawn for a suit against the school trustees of Greensburg. The trnstees took out efficient heaters in the schools and replaced them with radiators ’ which have no ventilation, and compel the children to breathe the precipitation from the bad combustion. The state board ordered the radiators removed during the holidays and the trustees have defied the state board. Hence the preparation for the suit. The bad news has come from Clinton county that our former resident, Isaac F. Alter, son of Isaac Alter, of Union Tp„ and brother of our county surveyor, John E. Alter, has lost one of his two year old twins, from scarlet fever, and the other was very bad with the disease. The twins were a girl and a boy, and it is the girl that is dead. The disease has not heretofore prevailed in that community and it is supposed that it was taken there by David Alter’s family of Rensselaer, who are visiting Isaac’s family and .one of whom recently had scarlet fever, a short time before they left here. . N. J. York, of Monon, was in town Friday afternoon, in the interest of a series of entertainments and lectures he has secured for Monon. The series is one which any town might be proud to secure.

Misses Ollie and Nora Marlatt gave a party at the home of B. F. Ferguson, Saturday evening. About 25 or 30 were present. Crokinole, a flower masquerade ball and reading the last wills of the guests, were the principal amusements. A great sensation has been stirred up over the claims of a Legansport mechanic named Nickmun of having invented what he calls a perpetual light. . It is claimed that whatever the mechanism or substance is that gives the light is sealed up in a glass globe, and gives the light forever, without change, or expense after the first purchase. We size the matter up as another Keely motor case. Light is a form of motion and it takes 1 force so produce it, as much as any other form of motion, and perpetual liglft is as much a physical im- ! possibility as perpetual motion. Fire Chief Parcells says the ' crack in the fire bell is not so extensive as reported and he is quite sanguine in the belief that by cutting out a “lip” or notch, about three inches deep its tone will be about as good as ever. The experiment will be tried this week, and in case it fails, the city council will be asked to provide a special fire alarm whistle, to be placed on the light and water power house. This, it is believed will cost much less than a new fire bell and give much more satisfactory results. ‘Geo. Sapp, a prominent business man of Goodland, has gone to Seattle, Wash., to prepare for a trip to Alaska in the spring. It is the intention to form a party of 15, and to get a small steamer of their own on which the party will live after they reach the diggings. A doctor, an expert miner, a blacksmith with complete shop and a portable sawmill, are among the promised features of the outfit. Each man has to contribute $650 to the outfit. The party is to 1)6 made up from Fowler, Remington, Barce, Kentland, Goodland and
