Nattie Scott is not much behind "Baldy” Powers when ti comes to catching fish.

A number of farmers near Fort Wayne are writing to Senator Beveridge and others requesting that efforts be made toward reducing the tariff on wheat to not exceed over 10 cents a bushel. They say this is enough to protect the farmers of the country, and that It will help all consumers in years of short crops and speculative corners.

The Republican is always pleased to have news sent to it, but the news to he of any value should be sent in promptly. Last evening after the semi-weekly went to press an account of two ball games played at Pleasant Ridge last Sunday was received, too late to be of any value. An announcement of a game for next Sunday between the Ridge and Parr at tie former place was also received. The Republican appreciates such items If sent In tl're, but if not they are worthless. Please bear this In mind in the future.

Regarding the condition of John Tigler, who is in jail awaiting his reception at Longcliff, one of the physicians says that a thorough examination was made of Mr. Tigler at the inquest and there is no doubt of his insanity. They found a depression on one side of his head, and about 18 months ago this resulted in partial paralysis of one side of the body, a sure indication of weakness of the brain. The evidence of Dr. Kelsey, of Francesville, his physician, was to the effect that his mind is impaired. The evidence of his son and daughter was to the effect that he threatened to kill his son some months ago, and neighbors testified that they considered his mind affected. The doctors think an operation to relieve the depression of the skull might result in his cure. The evidence is all submitted to the asylum authorities and they have the power to discharge a patient if they do not consider restraint necessary.
