The supreme court has decided that the railroad companies must pay the increassed taxes which they have refused to pay, under the new law. Services will be held Sunday morning and evening at the M.

A masquerade party was held by the young people at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. S. McDuffie on Tuesday evening. The event was held in honor of their daughter Alice's 15th birthday. The little folks were nicely entertained. Ida A. Hutchings, the jeweler, is moving her stock of goods into the Arlington room. This is one of the neatest rooms in town and is well adapted to the jewelry line. Pat Fitzgerald, Jr., will occupy one side of the room with a line of sewing machines and perhaps a book and news stand. It is now understood that Prof. Farnham is as deep in the mud at Lima as he is in the mire at LaPorte, and this case is hopeless. Many believe the man is insane, but the forged notes that he has issued show plainly enough that he is a scoundrel with a big S. He may be both. In a financial sense there is a concensus of opinion that he is a fool, for it is net believed that he took much money away with him.—Lal’orte Argus. Captain Henry M. Buel, of this city, died over a year ago. Mrs. Duel had a large-sized likeness executed of the deceased and the picture was placed in the parlor. Ever since Mr. Buel’s demise the family cat, which was a great favorite of the deceased during his life, has cut strange antics. When the sitting door is open the cat will at once spring towards the picture and nestling close to the canvas will intuitively begin to purr. The cat refuses to leave its place beside the likeness of its dead master, and will sit for hours plaintively crying and purring. Efforts to attract Ps attention or drive it away from its nestling place have proved futile. It is a singular illustration of feline devotion.—Valparaiso Messenger.

There have been several newspaper changes of late in northern Indiana. The latest is the sale of the Syracuse Register by Mr. Ritter to L. B. Fritz and R. J. Howard. It is announced that the coflin makers association contemplates a reduction in the price of coffins. This will induce a great many people to die who have not been able to do so heretofore. The Hoosier Boy Orator at the U. B. church Thursday evening, Feb. 23. This wonderful boy is only eight years old, but speaks with the power and interest of old, experienced orators. Relatives of George C. Dorland, who was killed in the Peru disaster, have been inspecting the scene of the wreck with a view to bringing suit for damages against the L. E. & W. company. Rough, brownish oranges carry in their complexion a guarantee of sweetness, the peculiar appearance being due to the attacks of insects which have selected them for this very quality. The Sons of Veterans of this place A. R. hail Saturday evening. Feb. 18. It is important that all Sons of Veterans be present. The LaPorte Argus says that the deep snow or something else has driven an unusual number of owls into the city, and it is a common thing to see or hear their nightly mournful cries in the shade trees about town.

The following is quite a true picture: “An officer in the regular army laughed at a timid woman because she was alarmed at the noise of a cannon when a salute was fired. He subsequently married the timid woman, and six months afterward he took off his boots in the hall when he came in late at night.” An exchange tells the story of a boy who was sent to market with a* sack of roasting ears, and after lingering around town all day came home without selling them. When his mother asked him why he did not sell the corn he said that no one asked him what he had in the sack. There are many merchants like that little boy. They have plenty of goods for sale, but they fail to tell what they have in their sack. If you expect to sell goods in this day and age of the world you must open your stock in trade. We have received bulletins of the DePauw University Extension Courses and of the DePauw Summer School for 1893. The movement known as University Extension lias become widespread, and centers are being established in many of our Indiana cities and towns. Such a center should, by all means, be established here, that our citizens may have the university, in part, brought to their doors. The ■ Summer School at DePauw is also a I new departure, which will supply a long felt need. There are many young people free during the summer months, who can now have the privileges of the university during their unoccupied time. The colleges owe it to the public to open their doors at times when the young people can attend, and this movement on the part of DePauw University will commend it to the additional favor of the public. The bulletins which can be had on application to President John at Greencastle, give a full description of the courses offered, both in the Summer School and the department of University ExtenI sion.

' Hicks’ forecasts for February. “Cold fair weather will be the rule i np to about the 11th ami 12th, at which.| time active secondary storms may be expected, attended by a marked change to warmer, but followed promptly by a return to sharp cold.

The period which promises the greatest disturbances for the month is central on the 17th. The 16th to 19th, inclusive, we set down as danger days. Vulu*u»" t oK^thcw^*while Mars and Earth from March 22d will be sensibly present to increase the over normal tendency to storms. On and about the 16th a very warm wave will develop, and storms of tropical character will rush up from the equatorial regions, attended by thunder, rain and marked violence in many places, * * * High temperature, sultriness and lightning about the danger days will admonish of pos sible tempest and cyclone, but do not forget that great cold will follow especially to the north, reaching up to the reactionary storm changes on or about the 23d and 24th. Storms about these dates, under pressure of the growing vernal equinox, Mars’ equinox and the moon’s first quarter will prove severe and dangerous. Keep a calm eye on them and be ready for returning cold when they have passed.” “A precocious, impulsive youg Mr. Was in love with a girl—and he Kr. Said she, ‘Sir! Go slow! For I’ll have you to know I’m to you nothing more than a Sr.’ ” License Notice.
