Last week they sent two gentlemen here to look over the new churches and report to the congregation. These gentlemen were very favorably impressed with the Presbyterian church and took back such an enthusiastic report that on Wednesday the pastor, Rev. Mr. Miller, and some fifteen members of his congregation came over to see the I church. After spending an hour or so j in and about the building they left en thusiastically declaring that there was , but one kind of material they would use in their new building and that was cement stone. The interior arrangement of their church is also to be the general plan as the interior arrangem&nt of the Presbyterian church. ’

Train No, 22 was switching and had their engine and six cars on the main track when an extra west bound crashed into them. Engineer Hart on No. 22 reversed hie । engine but it was too late, Both crews jumped from the trains, except Engineer Hart, who stayed with his engine. No one was seriously injured. Most of the care were badly damaged and eight , care were thrown into the creek. En- ■ gineer Biddle on the extra attributes the I cause of the accident to the air not working on his engine. Jacob Kellar, of North Judson, Adam Smith, trustee of Railroad township, Starke county, and Max Winecoff, member advisory board of San Pierre, Ind., paid a visit to our town Thursday for ' the purpose of inspecting our new church buildings. A large new school building । is about to be erected in San Pierre and the men were here for the purpose of determining between brick and cement j stone. Mr. Kellar said he brought them I here because the Presbyterian building ; here was the finest advertisement he had ;in northern Indiana. He is the man I who introduced the manufacture of ! artificial stone into the state, and afterward sold county rights. The men went away after a careful tour of inspection, declaring they would recommend but one material for the new school building and that would be cement stone. i • . BIRTHS. • .

SOME FREAK INVENTIONS. A. Few of the Thinge that Seekers After Perpetual Motion Have Done. While no man has yet been so fortunate as to secure a patent on a device for perpetual motion, many inventors have succeeded in obtaining this protective measure for things no less visionary so far as practical results are concerned. One of these freak patents is for a gallows so constructed that the weight of the victim on the trap automatically sets in motion devices which spring the trap after a suitable interval, thus causing the culprit to execute himself. Some other enterprising genius applied for and received a patent on an elaborate arrangement designed to raise and tip the hat of the wearer whenever he bowed. Oh, ye gentle readers! Fancy meeting a gentleman friend whose hat should go through the conventional movements to the clicking of steel springs, leaving the “deah boy’s” hands free to grasp his monocle and stick? Another freak device is a mechanical appliance for putting on overcoats, but it Is not known whether or not the inventor provided the machine with a suitable slot for the insertion of tips. This is a thing the Tip-takers’ Union should look after, and if the machine is found incomplete in that essential particular they should promptly boycott the inventor. Something for which there might be a better demand, among city people or those in sizable towns, is an automatic appliance for letting down a latch key from an upper story at a time of morning previously agreed upon to enable the milkman to place the milk indoors, the key being automatically raised when the milkman departs. Whether or not the machine would refuse to work or deliver the key\ when there was more thhn the usual quantity of water in the milkman's product has not been ascertained. Girl Students at Oxford. The proportion of women students to men students in Oxford is about 300 to 3,000, and it has been only about a score of years since women were admitted, while men have had the advantages of the university for centuries. All the teaching of the women Is under the Association for the Education of Women In Oxford. There are no class or lecture rooms, and no teaching except private tutoring in the halls—that is, Lady Margaret Hall, Somerville College, St. Hugh’s ‘ Hall, etc. The students take up courses arranged by the association. The lectures —by members of the university or by women who lecture for r h^ association —are given in a queer old building. once a dissenting chapel. Girls ' who do not reside in the halls board around in places recommended by the association, and are called home stu- । dents. High-Speed Tests. The recent high-speed experiments on electric railways in Prussia have revived the plan of connecting Brussels and Antwerp bj r a high-speed road. . The estimated cost is 11.000,000 francs. If you want to make a girl mad, tel] her after a dance that she looks as, fresh as a rose. She wants to look like a wreck; it’s the wall flower who looks fresh. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Cotton exports for 1903 were $378,000,000; more than a million dollars a day. ' Sugar beets thrive in different kinds of soil, in diverse climates, and over a large area. The Milky Way covers about a third of the sky and contains about half the stars. The population of Japan is twelve times as dense as that of the United States. The United States has 18.000,000 incandescent and 885,000 arc lamps in operation. The Trans-Siberian Railway crosses five rivers, each of them as long as the Mississippi. The only important independent States now remaining in Africa are Abyssinia and Liberia. In English schools three hours a week are given to needlework; in New York schools but one. Les than 7 per cent of the power used in manufacturing plants in the United States is electric. A mountain of alum 1,900 feet high and ten miles in circumference has been discovered ia China. .

Taylor, son-in-law of James R. Keene, was accosted one bright morning not long ago by a graybeard with one leg, hobbling along Broad way. “For God's sake, sir,” he began, but the broker interrupted him with some severity. “Don’t take the Lord’s name in vain, my friend,” he said. The beggar’s rather intelligent face was illuminated with a ,faint smile. “It will be your fault, sir, he said, “if I do take it in vain.” Thereupon the broker alsh smiled, and his hand went Jiis pocket. -/ * White crepe on the same'tpdr twice within a wedk will make nearly anyone cry.

Why Men Don’t Go to Church. A writer for a New York newspaper gives another reason for the why-men-don’t-go to-church query. It is this: “Men dislike to have the plate poked , under their nose at every service." In a word—stinginess. He has hit the nail on the head as respects a type of men. They are quite willing and, on the whole, rather anxious their wives should attend church. They believe the church is a good thing, but they shirk any responsibility for its maintenance. Now, When these men go to the ball park they do not object to having the money box poked under their noses. When they go to the theater they do not go into their pockets grumblingly. When they attend a lecture they are not offended if asked to pay. When they join a lodge they willingly give up initiation fees and pay the dues. But the church —their sense of delicacy and fitness revolts when the deacons put the plate under their noses. Os course, when there is a funeral in "the house this sort oFbbyectbr knows he can have the service of the church and the minister free. And when he dies some kindly soul from the pulpit will read the prayers over hie clay. The truth is, men generally ought to feel under greater obligations to support the churches. The burden should not fall heavily upon a few faithful adherents. What sort of a community would you . have without the churches? What , would your real estate be worth? i Every Town Should Advertise. In the opinion of the Four-Track ! News, one of the first requisites of a good business man, in this age of mer- ! cantile activity, is that he should understand the apt of advertising. The same rules that govern private concerns should govern the business affairs of . cities. Every civilized town that has industrial aspirations and hopes to grow I and prosper, must needs let the world know what it has to offer byway of inducements. Manufacturing enterprises, educational institutions, business and professional men are ever seeking de--3 sirable locations, and it is a noticeable ’ fact that comparatively few cities and j towns are attracting them. This is because many towns which possess good t water power, good shipping facilities, j good school and residential advantages, lack the life and enterprise to let the , world know what they possess. They do not grow because they are un- ? known. They are like the drowsy merchant who doesn’t think it worth while ’ to advertise, but prefers to sit and watch the spiders spin webs across his door- ’ way. Every new enterprise that locates ~Tn~a Town - adds to the prosperity and business possibilities of every dealer in 3 the place, and every citizen who has his own good and the good of the community at heart should take a hand in get- । ting hie town into touch with the busy, wide-awake world.

Mr. Robert O. Burke, Elnora, N.

I had given up hope of living, when a friend recommended Foley’s Kidney Cure. One 50 cent bottle worked wonders and before 1 had taken the other three bottles the dropsy had gone, as well as all other symptoms of Bright’s disease." B. E, 1 Williams,
