The proceeds, which were large went to the Syracuse Silver Coronet Band. John Wyant paid the first freight bill on goods shipped to this place over the B. & O.road and Wm. Wallis paid the charges on the first package of express.

FIRST ANNUAL MEETING HELD AT INDIANAPOLIS Wawasee Protective Association Taken In Indiana Fish, Game And Forest League. * The Indiana Fish, Game and Forest League has just held its first annual meeting at Indianapolis. The Wawasee Protective Association was one of the new organizations taken into the association. After a full discussion on-all resolutions presented, the league decided by unanimous vote to present the following legislation to the next general assembly in 1912: A change in the office of the fish and game commissioner in which the propagation of fish is taken out of his hands and placed in the hands of a * non-salaried and non-partisan board of fish commissioners which is to be appointed by the Governor. Recommending a closed season against fishing in the lakes of the state from April 15 to June 1, and for the streams May 1 to June 15. A stringent law against the electrocution of fish. Changes in the game law to prohibit the spring shooting of waterfowl. Severer laws prohibiting the pollution of streams. Call For New Bids. The Postal Department refused to accept bids offered by. the local men for city mail messenger. Clell Medlam who submitted the lowest bid and who has been carrying the mail since the death of the former messenger, has resigned, and Henry Snobarger will transport the mail to and from the depot until the matter can be adjusted. A superintendent of the mail and messenger service was in town, Monday, and made arrangements for another set of bids. It is understood by some that the government is unwilling to pay more than $250 per. year, and it is the general opinion that this is very low considering the tim6 it consumes to do this service. Ex-Cashier Convicted. The case of the State of Indiana vs. Howard B. Harter, ex-cashier of the Akron Citizens’ bank, was called in Fulton circuit court Wednesday and as the case opened the defendent stated that he was ready to plead guilty to a charge of accepting deposits at the bank after he knew the institution was insolvent. It had been previouly arranged that in case he would do this the other cases pending against him for embezzlement would be dismissed. When he entered his plea of guilty Judge Bernetha sentenced to from two tq fourteen years in the Michigan Citv prison and it is expected that he will be taken there in a short time by Sheriff Sheets to begin serving his sentence.
