Did you ever run across an old home newspaper, say some ten years ago or more? Did it not prove extremely in teresting as you read its colums of local news and personal mentions? As you look over its pages the many seeming trival mentions carry with them a multitude of pleasant and tender accociations i and you wonder that you prized the paper so little at the time it was first printed when you find it so full of interest after so many years. It is only when one gets hold of some old local paper ' and views its panorama of the past and I reflects on what a perfect mirror of local events the weekly papers are, that he begins to estimate its real value as a recorder of local current history and to realize how worthy of his support and patronage is this local collector and record keeper of the life and doings of the community which from week to week and year to year it so faithfully portrays.—Wabash Times.

The three tramp desparadoes that were captured by Bremen officials at the B. &O. depot Wednesday morning and taken co Garrett that evening for preliminary hearing, were bound over to the circuit court in the sum of $200.00 bonds. They are now confined in the DeKalb county jail, at Auburn, to await trial. An editor who has experienced a dragging sensation about the heels has the following to say; “When a man goes to church and the shingle nail that holds his pants fast to his suspen ders, drops out and goes rattling down the seat like a cow bell, and lets his suspenders slip around his neck, he might as well get up and go home, for the sermon won’t do him any good.'' An instance of this kind would not be out of place in most communities. It is said that one of Peru's smart young men had a habit of making cute remarks in the hearing of young ladies upon the street. A few evenings ago two girls went out armed with stale hen fruit and in reply to his insolence they took aim at the polished bosom of his shirt. The fragrance of the fruit and the bedaubed condition of his at tire paid the penalty of the offense, to say nothing about the jeers of those who beheld the dude's dilemma. John J. Devery, of this place, has gone into business for himself at Huntington, Ind. His many friends here wish for him unbounded success. The Hunt ington Evening Herald says: “The shoe store of M. E.

The place will henceforth be known as the “People’s Shoe Store’” conducted under the firm name of J. Devery & Co. The new proprietors are not strangers, both having been employed as clerks in the store for some years. Mr. Devery has been in the store five years and Miss Coughlin even longer. By their courteous treatment and honest dealing they are much liked and every one will wish them unqualified success and a liberal share of patronage.”

KILLED BY THE TRAIN. A man was killed in this place while attempting to board the 12:30 a.m. freight train, east bound, on the B. & O. road, Friday morning. He asked the conductor to ride but was refused. He then asked the brakeman, who told him to jump into an empty box car. In attempting to do this he fell under the train. Just how the accident happened is not known, but it is supposed that tramps were in the car and pushed him off. There is good reason for believing this to be the case, as Joe Fitzgerald, night operator, saw three tramps get onto the train when it started out, and the man's face bore a mark as if he had been struck or kicked there. The injured man was found at the side of the track after the train had gone, and shortly after the accident, by Jesse Jackson, who, with Joe Fitzgerald, helped the man into the depot. He soon became unconscious and died at 4:30 o’clock. Dr. Arlington was summoned as soon as the man was found and administered all the aid possible to help the unfortunate man. Trustee Leibole was also notified and was present shortly after the accident. The man could talk but little but gave his name as Brown and his residence as Erie, PaFrom letters and papers found on his person, however, it was learned that his name was H.C. Quigley instead of Brown. But he gave his place of residence correctly, according to letters addressed to him. What his object was in giving his name as Brown is hard to understand, unless ho thought he would recover from his injuries and his family would then not team of the accident. Papers in his pocket showed that he was a railroad man and belonged to the Trainmen’s Relief Association. He t<xjk dinner at Hendricks’ hotel at the B. & O. the day previous, and told Mr. Hendricks that he had been in Wisconsin looking for work and had just returned from there. He also stated that his name was H. (’.Quigley. He was a married man with two child ; ren. In his pocket were letters from his mother, wife and little daughter. When found the man was lying near j where the Three I crosses the B. A O. i The wheels had run over his left hand and cut otf a portion of it, the side of his head was cut open and the small bone of his right leg was broken. Coroner I lugdale, of South Bend, was notified and came here in the morning to take testimony in the case. He has summoned as a witness the brakeman who told Quigley to take the box car, and he will be examined next Monday.] The coroner also notified the chief of police at Erie, Pa., of the affair. In case no word comes from there in time the remains will be buried here on Saturday ’ at the county's expense. The body was taken to the carpenter shop of Trustee Leibole • where the undertaker took charge of t he remains. Quigley was a man apparently about Ml years old, six feet in height, heavily built and very rugged in appearance. Violets and roses in the new nacra shades and flowers of all varieties, at Millards.

An east-bound freight train on the Three I was wrecked one and a half miles west of town, last Sunday night about 11 o'clock, by a broken rail. The cars were loaded with export beef from a Kansas City firm. Six cars were derail- ’ ed, three of them being overturned. The I meat was transferred into other cars and ; hauled away. A temporary track was built around the wreck so trains could , pass. By this means trains were run I with but little delay. The derailed cars ' were but little damaged. Charity Begins at Home.

The Goshen Daily News suffered a lot of women to show that they could get out a better issue of that paper than those who have had a life-time expert ence in the business, in the issue of last Friday, it being wholly under the cun trol of the ladies of that place. That, at least, is the idea that will be caught by the subscribers of that journal. It is a "fad,” thus giving a date to the in- ' experienced, with which we have no sympathy, and certainly cannot benefit the regular management in the many difficulties that besot the business as an everyday work. The getting out of a very handsome and superior edition for one day is really a detriment to the business, as were the women compelled Ito make it their regular business the paper would soon appear in its usual ' garb and in nine eases out of ten deteriorate. It is not a single issue that ! counts, but the weary, every day plod- ' ding of year by year, and the singledate specimen is a bad example to set. Warsaw Times. Awarded Highest Honors—World’s Fair.
