Sheffield, and by the groom’s sister, Miss Louisa Doll The wedding party returned the same evening to their furnished home west of Syracuse, where Mrs. Wm. Sheffield assisted by Miss Ger aldjne Kiser, served an elegant wedding supper, which was attend e l by a few of the immediate mem bers of both families.

The groom is a well-liked young man, who returned last June from a threeyears’ service in the navy. Overturns Buggy The buggy in which Mr. and Mrs. Bert Searfoss and daughter were driving, Sunday, was overturned and the occupants thrown out near the Huntington street br-idge, when another rig run into them. According to Mr. Searfoss' story, they were driving along and met this other buggy, locking wheels with it. Mr. Searfoss advised the-driver to b-ick up his horse .thus disentangling the wheels. This common sense admonition did not appeal to the men who whipped up their horse, upsetting the Searfoss carriage. No one was hurt, but this good fortune was not due to any intelligence on’ the part of the unknown riders. Not Sold Buttermilk Point has not been sold as was stated in a former issue. The ntgoiations were not completed but it is probable that the ryoperty will be disposed of before the close of the coming season. BARON MAY 2:07 1-4 —Fastest Trotting Stallion Ever In The Middle West. In this day and age of the world, the breeders of high class road and race horses are patronizing the stallions that were great race horses and have beauty and style with speed. In Baron May 2:07%, the breeders of high class harness horses have the opportunity of breeding to the fastest trotter that ever stood for public service in the middle west. There are no ‘ifs” and “ands” about Baron May 2:07 1-4 but he just demonstrated to the race followers that he was the fastest trotting stallion racing from 1907 to 1909. Any person with good eyes can look up the records of his races from 1907 to 1909 and if the person who does this does not pronounce him a great race horse, we are ready to lay down *The Italian Gov. has an option pf SB,OOO on Baron May and we wiH all know the foreigners Ixuy nothing but the best. This horse will be kept at The Blue Stock Farm, in charge of Roy Blue who will be ready to answer all questions pertaining to the breeding and keeping of mares. Mr. Blue is to be £ congratulated on having such high a class horse in bis cha-ge and were he not a gentleman and ready to give every one a square deal, lo owner would trust him with such a class horse as Baron May 2:07 %. Write him at Syracuse, Indiana, for tabulated pedigree, etc.

A Remarkable Record A postoffice inspector recently recalled the remarkable record made bv Ira G. Gan son the mail rou e be tween Vawter PajJt and Leesburg, byway of North Webster and Os we go. Mr. Gans began carrying the mail between these two points on July 1, 1891* and continued the str vice until July 1, 1907, and during ? all these sixteen years missed just s three trips. These he would have 1 made but for the fact that on two " of the occasions the roads were com pletelv blocked by snow, and on the 5 other high water prevented. This f record has only been equaled once 1 in the history of star route service in Indiana When it is remembered 1 that Mr. Gans lost both his hands ■ when 16 years old, after a terrible illness, this performance seems all { the moie remarkable. Auto Hits Bu gy ? Experienced autoLts will tell ycu - that the new di iver usually steers . his machine at the object he is 1 gazing at. This was substantiated 3 Sunday when John Swenson, who • purchased anew auto Saturday, ran ■ into the rear end of a buggy being driven by Wilbur Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson heard the machine behind him and turned out for it but Mr. Swenson was not able to quite e clear the rig. 1 ' r Lutheran Entertainment 1 The Easter program at the Luth • eran church, Sunday evening, was - gladly received by the large audience r Reverends Getter and Ladd were both in attendance and the former lent his pleasing voice to the enter- - taimnent. The children were drilled exceptionally well and the entire 1 service showed that time and pat- • ience had been used in the prepara--3 tion of the numbers. s e Secures Pastorate If. L. Launer, former proprietor of the Hotel Grand, who has been studying for the ministry, has been i assigned a pastorate in Illinois, and >. left this week to take charge of it 1 Mrs. Launer and the children will i follow him later. Mr. Launer has j filled the pulpit at the local Evan gelical church on several occasions and undoubtedly will be successful in his chosen field. Easter Entertainment r . A large and appreciative audi , ance witnessed the Easter program at the U. B, Church last Sunday , evening which was rendered in an t excellent way. Both the speaking f and singing revealed the fact that , the committee had spent much . time and effort in training for the occassion. t Looking After Hatcheries t Geo. W.

ROBERT J. BARRETT 'Jr BEETLE THAT EATS LEADJJISCOVERED Insect with Peculiar Appetite Subject of Much Interest in Scientific World. Insects of the beetle family have been accused of many mysterious things ever since they were hoisted on totem poles and worshipped by Pharaoh and brother Egyptians. The latest discovery is that of a beetle that eats lead. Instances in which the little lead eaters have been eaught in the act are so few that naturalists are now seeking, more specimens. At present, the head of a well known academy of natural science is making a study of a well preserved specimen which was recently found in the fuse of a telephone in Chicago. The first know instance of the work of this beetle was in Australia. It either bored or ate a hole through the lead armor of a telephone cable. Another specimen was found in a telephone cable in California. Attacks Telephone Fuse. A telephone user in Chicago complained recently that his telephone was in trouble. Upon examination it was found that the fuse was open. The only clue to the cause was several larvae lying inside the fuse —the larva is that stage in the development of an insect immediately following the egg stage. These small, shell like forms were left in the fuse and watched closely until one of them developed into a small beetle about half an inch in length. For purposes of observation,' the beetle, with the fuse, was placed in a glass jar. It was observed that he attacked only the lead parts and avoided the other metals and the fabric covering. He lived, and the conclusion was that he subsisted on lead. Beetle Be-.’g Studied. The true character o. *hese beetles will be known when results of the study now being made are announced. A microscopic photograph of its mandibles —a scientific word w hich means an insect’s jaws—will be taken to determine whether it bitefe or bores. A scientist has already classified it as a miniature form of the beetle Dermestes Vulpinus, belonging to the family Dermestidae. A peculiar thing noted about the insect is that to date it has been found only In telephone cable or fuses, with the exception of one instance and that was a telephone pole in which a parent beetle bored through a lead plate to deposit eggs. It Is safe to say, however, that no tombstones will be erected in its honor if it be found to be an almost extinct variety. GETS REWARD FOR USING SAND TO PUT OUT BLAZE Quick-witted Employe Saves Suburb’s Telephone Service by Not Using Liquid. Because an employe used a can of sand to put out a small fire instead of a liquid fire extinguisher, which would have been more convenient, he was rewarded with a substantial check by his employer. x Grover Krautz, an employe in a telephone exchange in one of Chicago’s suburbs, was walking near the switchboard when he smelled smoke. He found several cords inside the switchboard cabinet on fire. Quick as a flash he reached for an extinguisher. The liquid container was nearest, but his presence of mind directed him to the can of sand a little farther on. After subduing the fire he reached into the mass of charged wires, grabbed the smoking cords and tore them from the switchboard. The damage was small—all because he used the sand. The liquid extinguisher would have rendered all the wires it touched useless and might have deprived a part of the suburb of telephone service. WORLD’S HIGHEST TELEPHONE. Three miles above the sea level, on the peak of Manta Rosa ir. the Italian Alps, is found the highest telephone in the world. This telephone is connected by a private wire taota the astronomical observatory on Monta Rosa to the royal palace in Rome. * U. B. Church Sunday school 10:00 a.m. Preahing 11: a. m. and 7:30 p. m.
