ITEMS FROM ALL OUERJHE STALE Items of More or Less Interest to Our Readers, gathered From Our Exchanges. John Prill, who lives on a farm near Rochester, is wearing the same beard he started to grow in 1861. Several street car conductors who are alleged t<| have “knocked down” on fares have been let out at Elkhart. South Bend police claim to have evidence involving a number of prominent women of that city in shop lifting. Mrs. Joanna Shull, who resided near Otter lake, Steuben county, fell down the cellar steps at her home last Monday and broke her neck. She was past 70 years old. The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Mater of Goshen, got lost in the snoy/storm last Wednesday afternoon, and when found he was in a helpless condition and nearly frozen. Just after he had finished his run on mail train No. 2, from Michigan City to Jackson, Thomas C. Faulkner, an engineer on the Michigan Central for 35 years, dropped dead as he stepped from his engine into the office at the junction to give his report. He was 60 years of age. The state board of tax commissioners has just made public a total of $12,621,950.50 in sequestered and omitted, taxables, which were placed on the tax duplicates in the various counties in the state last year. The emty counties not reposting the uncovering of some sequestered taxables were Brown and Starke. Leo V, Long, 15 year Jd son of Mr. and Mrs, C. V. Long of Garrett, was instantly killed by a Toledo & Chicago Interurban car last Wednesday afternoon while delivering groceries for Wesley Kean. The boy was in a house and hearing a a car coming ran out to look after his horse. The animal was standing close to the track and in attempting to get it away the boy and horse were both instantly killed.The car was running slow but on account of the blinding snow storm the boy was not seen by the motorman, and it is thought that the boy did not realize that the car was so close. County Local Option. County local option will go into the next republican state plotform. Either by the submission of an amendment or the revision of the constitution the people of Indiana will within two years have an opportunity to vote on the question of state-wide prohibition. Many of the faint hearted leaders of republicanism in this state who are predicting all sorts of dire calamities unless the Republican party plays the coward and the chump on the local option question this year will be confident of victory and attempting to control the state ticket because of the prospect of success within three months. The hindsight of some politicians is much better than their foresight, and this is particularly true of the brand of politician who gets his impressions of public opinion from the tank in the lobbies of the hotels and clubs at Indianapolis.—Marion Chronicle. A. A. Rasor, administrator of the estate of J. C. Smith, has filed proof of notice of sale and has reported the sale of real estate to Eli and Caroline Crowl for $6,500. • The sale was approved by the court and a deed was ordered.

Foot Cut Off in Fodder Machine. The North Clinton correspondent -of the Millersburg Grit gives the “ following account of a serious accident which occurred there a few days ago: 1 Otto C. Miller, foster son of Jerry J. Miller, the blacksmith, was unfortunate enough to lose his right foot. He had rigged up a fodder cutting 1 machine with a blower attachment g and was working it at the home of Fred Brown. He was on top of the machine and the cover of the knives ’ gave way and allowed his foot to come in contact with the knives, which were of the cylinder pattern, and the right foot was coriipletely i severed at the instep, and not being f able to extricate himself, the leg i was again cut off above the ankle before the machinery could be I stopped. The severed parts went through the Mower into the mow. ’ He was carried into the house . and three physicians summoned who came in automobiles and were there in a few minutes. They took ’ him home, a distance of a mile, and ! amputated the leg a few inches below the knee. i To Fight Onion Thrip The northern Indiana onion grow--1 ers will be pleased to learn that thiough congressional action the committee on agriculture will recommend a $5,000 appropriation to 1 be used ih fighting the onion thrip in northern Indiana. The onion growing industry in Starke, LaPorte, Noble and Kosciusko counties has developed into the most prosperous of all agricultural pursuits. Last season the low, muck lands in many places in the district yielded from 500 to 700 bushels of onions per aerek and they s/Id high aa 70 cents per bushel. But the Onion thrip or louse is at work in many fields and they greatly damage the crop, and if the appropriation is made for the purpose the bureau of agriculture will send experts into the northern Indiana onion fields and keep them there to experiment in the destruction of the onion pests, and instruct growers.

OUR SPECIAL WEEKLY WASHINGTON LETTER Probable Appropriation for Pensions; Masonic Event at California Expo. Pensions may add another large item to the national expense account. In fact, it looks as if congress would provide for an expenditure of about $25,000,000 annually in addition to what is now paid out. The senate committee has voted in favor of that programme, while rejecting the Sherwood bill, which would have entailed an additional expenditure, it is said, of some $75,000,000. Congress has always been opposed to putting the names of pensioners on a list open to public inspection. The senate committee, however, voted by a very close margin to make names of pensioners public. Those not on the pension rolls seem unable to see why this should not be done. To be a pensioner of the government should be considered a high honor. GREAT MASONIC EVENT. Masons all over the world are showing an interest in an event to be held on April 17 next, in connection with the placing of the keystone in the arch over the main entrance to the San Diego, California, Exposition. While this big celebration wiU not open until January 1, 1915, the extensive plans being carried out necessitate active and energetic work every minute until that date, for the San Diegans intend to ha^ their tyig show absolutely rea(jß»n time. That is why they have progressed so fast as to be able to announce the placing of the keystone on April 17. The Knights Templar, Royal Arch and Royal Select Masons will have charge of the imposing ceremonies connected with the placing of the great keystone. In California alone 8,000 Masons will gather to attend these ceremonies. Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Colorado, and other states will send delegations. Some Masonic authorities say that this ceremony has never been performed since the days of Solomon, which will help to show why so much importance is being attached to it in Masonic circles. The pageantry accompanying this celebration will be impressive, companies of Knights Templar on white chargers, others mounted only on black chargers, and all of them gorgeously appareled, aiding to create a spectacle which those who witness it will never forget. Wireless Telephony A San Francisco dispatch says: “Wireless telephony has been perfected to such and extent that a human voice was carried a thousand miles out into the Pacific. The board of army officers, which has been making tests of the wireless telephone, has completed its report. When the transport Sherman was a thousand miles out an official test was successful. Voices and phonograph music were exchanged. An official exchange was made at 1,300 miles. We are certainly living in a marvelous age.

Uncle Tom is no mean feller, He has friends here by the score; Seems most everybody likes him. Makes him welcome at their door. Os course, he’ll lie about his fishin’, Tell how the biggest got away, But when Eli lets the cat out Then he’ll grin and slyly say: “Just you wait for blue gills bitin’ Then I’ll show you how it’s done,” But we’ve waited many summers For blue gills that never come. Peace we wish for Uncle Thomas, Peace aadioy and length of days; May theTuture bring him pleasures In priost unexpected ways. News Stand Changes Hands.

Confessed Killing Governor Goebel of Kentucky. When Governor Goebel was shot in Kentucky his democratic followers tried to fasten the crime on the republicans, but to the unprejudiced it was plainly the result of the warring democratic Tactions. Now after twelve years the slayer of Governor Goebel has confessed. At Helena, Arkansas, last Friday, fatally wounded in a duel with a bartender, James Gilbert, who came from Kentucky, declared he was the man who fired the shot that killed Governor Goebel of Kentucky, in January, 1900. Gilbert said he had been a member of the Hargis faction, notorious in Kentucky feuds for two generations. Gilbert came io Helena three years ago. Recently he was a deputy sheriff. County authorities declare he was without sense of physical fear. Don’t loaf on the street and tell strangers that the town is dead. It is not. The trouble is not that of a dead town, but that of dead energies of too many of its people. Show that you are alive by moving lively, wide awake by jumping into it, on the alert by improving your opportunities, and getting there because you are in the lead of the procession. Be sure and see Fisher Brothers at New Paris, before you buy your fence and posts.
