An order has been issued by the Clover Leaf railroad prohibiting any of its employes from entering saloons at any time, either while on or off duty. They are also barred from boarding or rooming in houses where is a bar attached, directly or indirectly. Any violation of this order will bring instant dismissal —all of which is well and good. One of the gravest errors a business man can make is to decry a rival in business. People generally lay criticisms of the character mentioned at the door of envy or jealousy, and they simply bring the kicker into disrepute. The public cares very little about Tom’s private grievances against Jim. What they are interested in is, which tells the best goods at th lowest prices.

A little child of Mr. Tatro’s, east of the depot has been severely sick from a stomach trouble.

Kokomo ministers have followed the example of Wabash ministers and have adopted resolutions condemning Sunday funerals. The action taken by the Ministerial Association of this city, has resulted in there being almost no funerals on Sunday.

An old bridge near Danville, which was condemned as unsafe, was found to be built on beams of black walnut, a very scarce and valuable wood nowadays, but common enough when the bridge was built 40 years ago.
