A break in btoe water pipes pn ton street across frojn the of W. R. Lee, has .caused water to inundate half of the street tor almost •a hlofk. It .will .require a great deal of digging to repair it. Miss Bletiche Tullis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Tullis, was operated on at the Methodist hospital in Indianapolis yesterday for a subacute attack of appendicitis. The operation was entirely successful and she will be able to return home within a short time. Mrs. Elizabeth Kennedy, the aged lady who suffered severe injuries by falling at the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. F. Meyers, Tuesday 1 ; is doing much better than it was at first thought possible. She is resting easily and the chances of her recovery are now very bright. Mrs. Loy Hess, of near Goodland, daughter of Mrs. G. H. Maines, and who was in poor health for some time, is now very much improved and the sickness which it was feared would prove chronic is now almost entirely overcome. She expects to visit her mother and other relatives here shortly.

Thomas Hammond died at his home in Hammond, Tuesday morning, which takes away one of the pioneers who lived to see that city grow from a dozen houses to its present size. He was mayor several years, and also represented this district in congress one term. He was past 66 years of age, and is said to have left an estate worth $200,000.
