i NEWS FROM HERE ANO THERE County Attorney Walter Brubaker has been ordered to go to Indianapolis July 18, to appear before the state tax board as a representative of Kosciusko county. The state board will settle the questibn of raising or lowering the appraisement in the county. Sheriff Kintzell of Kosciusko county, made a trip to Milford and arrested Fred Stechler, bartender in the Myers saloon, on a charge of selling liquor to a minor. Setchler was placed under bonds of S2OO for his appearance at the September term of the Kosciusko circuit court. Two men were drowned and two more narrowly escaped a like fate at the Lake of the Woods near Sc. Bend Sunday, when a sailboat in which they were riding capsized. The dead are Oscar Steinick, 29 years old, a prominent hardware merchant of Bremen, and Charles Anderson. The other two men in the boat were saved by resorters. The Wabash railroad station at Topeka burned Saturday afternoon, the fire starting about 2 o’clock. The fire started from sparks from a passing engine, it is believed. The loss is heavy, the building being a good one, 25x80 feet, and packed with goods in readiness for shipment. Both the station agent, H. D. Harrington, and the express agent suffered the loss of money in the money drawer. After finding two motorists guilty of having exceeded the speed limit in Wabash, Mayor James Wilson voluntarily filed an affidavit charging himself with the same offense. Calling an attorney the executive had the lawyer officially enter a plea of guilty and he fined himself the same amount as that assessed against the two motorists who lingered in court to witness the unUsual proceedure. “I can’t conscientiously fine others for an offense of which I was guilty yesterday,” remarked the mayor as he left the bench. The South Bend board of public works has given permission to the Northern Indiana Railway Co., to widen their tracks on Michigan St from Navrre street t o Jefferson boulevard in South Bend. This change has been made necessary by the inaugeration of a new schedule whereby the Winona cars go straight through to St. Joseph, Mich. The cars used on the Winona line are much larger than the regular Northern Indiana coaches and they are unable to pass one another without danger of striking as the tracks are at the present. Permission was given the company to place the tracks six inches farther apart on the ties on which they now lie each track to be inches. The work will be done under the supervision of the city engineer. Among the late arrivals at Brunjes Park are Wm. Dittman of Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Brunjes and niece of Cressy, Mich., and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of Chicago. Mr. Brunjes states that he did an unusually big business Sunday, despite the inclement weather.

W. C. T. U, Meeting. The W. C. T. U. meeting at the country home of the president Thursday afternoon was a decided success. Besides the regular work which was very interesting, recitations were given by Miss Vera O’Dell and Mary and Ernest Woods. Mesdames Godfrey Beck, Allen Wright, Henry Rapp, John and Chester Swenson and Manford Morris represented the Union in the country and the ladies from town were, Mesdames Rosa Juday, Madison McPherson, Ella McPherson, A. R. Strock, Chas. Wead, George Howard, S. L. Ketring, Noah Isenberger. Jos. Smeltzer, Jos. Dolan, Lucy Alexander, Alphonzo O’Dell, Bert Ward, Mylo Vorhis and Sarah Sloan and the Misses Violette and Vera O’Dell. A Good Yield. John Egbert on the Elkhart prairie threshed from 15 acres of wheat 480 bushels or 32 bushels to the acre, while fields adjoining that looked more favorable for good yields last fall, averaged only seven bushels to the acre. The 15 acre yield was sowed after all the other wheat was in growing condition, and was sowed merely to secure a grass crop not expecting a big yield owing to the lateness of the season. This would demonstrate that under certain conditions the Hessian fly can be avoided.— Goshen News Times. Jubilee Day Meeting. The people of Syracuse 'and vicinity who are interested in making our annual'Jubilee and Home Coming Day a success are earnestly requested to meet in the town council room at the school house, on Monday evening, July 24. to decide upon a date, elect officers and select .committees for arranging a program.

CLOSE CALL M LIGHTNING Two bolts of lightning struck the Catherine Kindig house on MSin St., occupied by D. R. Pomeroy and family, about one o’clock Sunday afternoon. The family and their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Cassidy and children of Indianapolis, were just ready to sit down the dinner table when the crash came. Mr. and Mrs. Pomeroy had gone upstairs to close the windows and the children were already seated at the table. Mrs. Cassidy was standing near the table when a piece of window casing struck the side of her face, knocking her down and she falling against two of the children knocked them down from the table. The bolts entered the house in the old telephone wiffes, tore q large hole in the plastering and threw it across the room hard enough to to make dents in the plaster on the opposite wall. The refrigerator was moved quite a distance, the gasoline tank full of gasoline was lifted off the stove, a shelf was torn dowji in the woodshed and various other things scattered about, shingles tern off the roof both at the front and back. Mrs. Cassidy had been at the cistern which was badly wrecked, only a few minutes before the lightning struck. CURTISS’ FLIGHTS AT WINONA The flights of Glenn H. Curtiss seemed to please every individual in the large crowd of spectators that witnessed the demonstration of the hydro-aehoplane at Winona Friday of last week. While no instruments were turned on Mr. Curtiss in his last flight at 5 p. m., it was estimated that he reached an altitude of 500 feel. Theaviator was unable to estimate his own distance, as this is a very difficult feat when driving an aeroplane through the air, but he said he got a good view of all the surrounding country, and persons in East Warsaw saw the machine from their homes. It was the intention to take the Curtiss hydro back to Sandusky, Ohio, but it will be on exhibition in the kindergarten rooms on the park 1 grounds for the remainder of the season. Persons visiting Winona will have the opportunity of seeing the machine as it sits in the big room. It has not been dismantled, but remains just as it was when the flights were made.
