The Plymouth Republican states that eleven couples are living there as man and wife without any legal formalities for so doing. AValkerton is agitating the water works question.

The bonded indebtedness of the town of Walkerton is now but S3OO, Abut amount being due on the schoolhou.e bonds. The town is now in lire protection without feeling the expense seriously. Tramps are quite umnerons here, and there is hardly a day passes bid what a number of them can be seen in town asking for hand outs at the houses. They must keep one another posted on Um best places to go to for eatables, as the people who are the most liberal with them are the ones who are oftenest called upon. A few good heavy fines properly administered to human brutes who abuse their horses would have a wholsome effect in the way of opening the eyes of those who have no mercy or even humanity in their makeup. If there isn’t a hell there ought to be--lor(he benefit of those who abuse their horses, or other animals, in any manner, whether by beating, overIriving, urn! rfm di . . severe checkreining, exposure, or anything else that is painful to the animals and the re fore cruel. — E x. Indianapolis Sun: Chief Wappenhans, of the weather bureau, has received a number of prognostications from various parts of the state relating to the condition of the crops and fruit. The majority state that the fruit, oats and younger clover crops are badly damaged, while the wheat crop, except in the southern part of the state, where it was not protected by snow, is uninjured. -The Madis n county correspondent, says that 99 per cent of the fruit in that section is killed, while the Elkkirt county man reports that neither crops nor fruit have suffered. The township trustees of the stata. are making no haste to pay back to the treasury the unexpected school fund balances which the supreme court has decided should be returned, sayr l the Indianapolis News. Superintendent Vories says that considerable money is m building and loan associations ami to withdraw it would cause the investors to miss the next semiannual payment of interest. Before the interest is due the state superintendent will make the apportionment for the next year of school. jf the money is not paid in it can not be appoi t ioned. M hat the trustees propose to do is not known. Some of the money is being paid in, hut it is, in almost, every instance, funds that have; not been invested in loan associations.

WashT keepers are aiutioned to look oiowr a fellow naniM G. B. Gray, of Fort Wayne. He is voted a deadbeat. A dance was held in Bender’s opera house under the management of Prof. Snyder, the band leader, on Friday evening of last week. 'The attendance was fair and the occasion proved a pleasant one. LaPorte Argus: A year ago last fall it. cost Ora Bosserman $2.50 an acre to put his wheat crop in the ground. Last fall he cultivated his corn late and put the ground into wlumt. at a cost of 70 cents an acre, and the wheat look's better now than his crop did a year ago. Some of these things have a good deal to do with profitable farming. It is questionable whether Walkerton’s assessed valuation is sufficient to admit of issuing bonds for an eight or ten thousand dollar water works plant. But in ease we couldn’t put la a complete plant now it would be advisable, many of our citizens think, to invest in water works on a small scale and add thereto as the town could afford it. It would be well to make the right kind of a start, at leist. 1 b4’.
