there is so many nice people you always find some “naughty” ones. One of their little playful pastimes was, a few nights ago, when the good brothers and sisters went to the church at that place they were horrified to find a dead dog sitting up in the pulpit with its head in thebible, and a placard stating that it was trying to find out how to get to “dog-heaven.” Quite a “rustle” exists over the queer pranks being continued and it is not known what it all means or what the result will be.

Blind-tiger raids is the latest and the best sport the officers at Bloom ington ever had. It beats hunting the real ones in Africa, then it is so much more comical for the hunted but mighty sad for the associates. The raid on Old Mother Andersons “famous health lesort” last Saturday night was a 20 “bagger” and the grand march to the jail was almost equal to Shermans march to the sea. A Canadian who worked here for awhile in the barber shoh, was one of the victims and gave some of the a geographic account of the whole affair.

A new trial of David Fox and Jacob Kirk is again being agitated by some cheap lawyers who think there is a possible chance to get .some notriety and more money out of these poor men. This paper thinks they have been punished already enough, if they should have been guilty, it would almost be as bad to punish them fuglier as the crime itself.

There has been much said about the proper way to talk over the Some people thihlTit unnecessary to shout into the transmitter to talk a long distance, but the right way to talk, is to put your lips close enough to the mouthpiece until you can hear your own vibrate back into your ear, then if you talk in an ordinary tone you will be heard at the other end. As long as you can hear your voice through the instrument you will be heard, and you cannot make yourself plainly heard unless you can. If you cannot hear your own voice, the batteries in your phone are very weak or the instrument is not perfect.
