J. McCoy’s “Douglas Maid” 2:17 at half mile heals. A portion of J. M. Deßolt & Co’s elevator, at Wolcott* gave way;, Tuesday morning, and let 10.000 bushels of shelled corn out on the ground and into the engine room. The railroad run in a big lot of empty oars, and by the ( help of lots of men and teams, working all night, the corn was loaded ready for shipment by the next jnorning. Had it occnred any day but Christmas, some one would almost surely have been killed.

No less than seven expeditions will start for the North pole, as soon as spring comes. E. B. Baldwin will lead America’s expedition. Being an American, he,saw that dogs would be scarce with so many expeditious in the field. He bought all he needed, and then all there were left. He ran the price up from $lB apiece to S3O, and now there are none left even at that price. If Baldwin gets to the pole first, it’s dollar to walrus teeth that he will fence it in and charge the other fellows a stiff admission price to see it. —Crown Point Star.

R., at Biwabik Minn., and expects to return there in the spring. Mr. Gant had a notable and very pleasant experience in October, haying been sent by his company as a delegate to thp national convention of, the Railroad Y. Ms C. A., at Philadelphia, and visiting various places of interest during the trip. Hev tells us that it is surprising the number of Christian men there are .among the railroaders of the country. He will have an opportunity to go to Boiton, next June in the same oapacity he went to Philadelphia, if he chooses to do so. We have never claimed tha this portion of Indiana was in the “banana belt” ns Charley Price used to do of South Dakota, when he lived there, but we do say that we are in a region of oonntry that, for some meteorological reason, not understood, that is very fortunate in escaping the bad storms. Already this winter several bad storms have passed close to us, north or south, and we escaped with scarcely a touch. Thus the slight skift of snow here, Thursday night, was a big fall of slushy, mushy snow and slosh through the central part of the state.

Superintendent Clark, of the county asylum, has not filed any requisition for supplies for the ensuing quarter, and does not intend to. Himself and his assistants have so carefully economized on supplies contracted for the current quarter, that no more v will be necessary until three months from uogy. The inmates are well fed, well clothed and well cared for .in all respeots, but all reasonable economy is observed by ( all. The year 1901 will be no great shakes in the way of eclipses. There will be four in all, two of the moon, and two of the sun but none of them wil be visible at all from this part of the world.* One of the sun eclipses is to be total, which ia always.an important event from ah astronomical point of view. It is visible over muoh of Asia and the Indian ocean.

Joe Groom was down from the wilds of Nelson Morris’ ranch in Keener tp. Saturday. Joe is still holding down his job as head cowboy and chief bronoh-bnater on the ranch. His occupation is to ride about looking after the various droves of cattle on the big farm, and incidentally to break all the wild Texas horses that are brought in. The elk herd is also under his special supervison. He likes his job all right and it pays him $25 a month and board, with a ‘‘raise” in prospect. In case the judicial districts of the state are shaken up in the legislature this winter, Newton bounty will probably be joined on to either Benton and Warren or Jasper and White._ Either combination would be convenient to this oounty and we; believe acceptable to the bar. Benton would welcome an alliance with Newton in preference to Fountain county with which she is joined, and we believe the other change would be agreeable to both White and Jasper.—Kentland Enterprise.

A very commendibh improvement has lately been added to the Odd Fellows’ Temple, by the trustees of the lodge. It is an iron fire escape, erected on the outside wall at the rear of the Jbpilding. It is reached from a large double window, from the third floor. From the third to the second floor it consists of a broad commodious stairway, with ample railings. From the second floor to the ground there is aa adjustable ladder. It is a good improvement and one that was badly needed, as in case of a fireoccuring in the building, when there was a large crowd in the upper room 3 as there often is, they would be in a bad box without the fire escape. ~. • ' “ ' 1 1 - " . There will be a business meeting at the Church of'God to elect two trustees and other offices Saturday evening, Jan. stb.

Thai cough Hangs on You have used all sorts of cough remedies but it does not yield; it is too deep seated. It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable toj produce la grippe, pneumonia or a serious throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT’S EMULSION will do this when everything else fails. There is no doubt about it. It nourishes, strengthens, builds Up and makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw; off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks. If you are run down or emaciated you should certainly take this nourishing food medicine. Soc. ands j.oo, .11 druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York.
