Wolf, Sexton. — Little Frederick Heizer won the hearts of all through that wonderful medium, his violin, which seemed to speak, now in impassioned, now tender, thrilling tones, recalling to one, dear memories of the past, and filling another with unbounded hope for the future.—The Republican, Oakland Neb., —At M. E‘ Church, Friday evening, July 17. W.L. Wallace is building a new house on Leonard street, the south side. His family moved here last week from Roanoke, Ind’, and until their house is completed they are oocupying one of Mr. Kyle’s new houses. Mr, Wallace has formed a partnership with Wm. Everly in the contracting business.— Plymouth Chronicle. Dr. Tracy has a number of maple leaves in hie office which are of marvelous size as compared with the leaves of Hooeierdom. They were sent from Seattle, Washington, by a relative. The average size of maple leaves of this country is about 4% by 6 inches, while the specimens from the far northwest measure 15 by 19 inches. One day last week while picking huckleberries Mrs. N. B. Brannaman stepped upon a nail which punctured her foot causing rather a bad wound which, however, healed quickly and seemed about well until the fore part of this week ehe went again to the marsh, when the heat or poison from the marshy ground, perhaps, caused the foot to swell again much worse than before, making quite a painful and helpless condition. The Pennsylvania Railroad company wishes an opportonity to test the law passed by the last legislature empowering cities to pass ordinances by which railroad companies may be compelled to place arc lights at any and all intersec tions of the railroad with streets. Six months ago the Warsaw council ordered seven lamps placed and maintained by the Pennsylvania company, but the offi ciale have refused to act, even though suits for damages have been threatened. A Money-maker For LaPorte, The cloud of the Gunneee tragedy seems to have had a thick solid silver lining for LaPorte. Liverymen, hotel keepers and all others who reap a profit from the presence of a crowd in town chortled with glee during the excitement that brought them in so many shekels. And now, just to keep things moving, they want to raise a $5,000 reward for the arrest and return, alive of course, of Mrs. Gunness. Os course all good towns deeply deplore shocking tragedies, still —if an inscrutable providence insisted on sending one somewhere in their vicinity—each good town would make aaste to telephone up a bonus for its location in "our thriving little city.”— Culver Citizen.

During sprinkling hours it takes two feet of water every fifteen minutes on an average. At this rate the tank would be emptied in two hours, if the pump was not running. I know of six different parties who take the nozle off of the hose and let the water run all night in the garden. If we should allow this to continue all would have a right to do it if they wanted to. The outcome would be that in the after part of the night the tank would be empty. If a fire should break out, no water, no wells, everybody asleep and the waterworks and everybody connected with it would be condemned. Now those who have been doing these tricks that I mention are notified to not do so any more. If I see any more of it done I am going to shut your wat. r off, then you will have to go to the town trustees for an order to get it turned on and settle for same or do without water. C. W.Sheatsley, Superintendent.

Short-Sighted English Statesman Denounced Penny Postage. "Os all the wild and visionary schemes of which I have ever heard or read it is the most extraordinary.” That was the official comment made by Lord Lichfield, postmaster general of England, on Rowland Hill’s proposal to establish a uniform postal rate of a penny throughout the United Kingdom. And that was at a time within (he memory of some men still living, only 71 years ago. Despite Lord Lichfield’s condemnation of it, the scheme was within three years an established fact. And men who in their childhood might have seen and read the first letters ever sent from one part of England to another for a penny may this year see and read letters sent around the globe and practically to every part of the English-speaking world for the same small fee. The achievement will be not only a most impressive rebuke of the short-sighted and timorous administrator of two generations ago, but also an equally impressive demonstration of the constantly accelerating progress of civilization. * — i
