Dr. W. R. Beck was called to the home of Noah Fasnacht, on North Byron street, Saturday. He found Mrs, Fasnacht and two of the children very sick, and on investigation found that it was caused by eating cheese.

On a little further investigation he learned of another family which had been similarly effected by the same cause a few days ago. He thinks their cases are not serious and they will recover in a short time. A couple of boys, supposed to be from this city, were near the old Clark mill dam, on the Wabash river Saturday, and through a spirit of unadulter ated cussedness, took a fine Clinker boat, belonging to Geo. Brumbaugh from the barn of Cyrus D. Stults, the miller, and deliberately tumbled: it down a steep bank into the river.

i Here is a question that looks to be a simple mathematical problem but it isn't: A boy ten years of age has a little sister weighing sixteen pounds, and he gets tired of holding her in five minutes. When he is twice as old how long will it take him to get tired holding somebody else's sister weighing 125 pounds. John Provines and wife drove to Fort Wayne where they spent Sunday. John's horse was not used to street cars, and on seeing one coming towards it it tried to turn square around, but the buggy wasn't built that way. As a- result the axle was prettly badly bent.

On Calhoun street the horse didn't seem to pay very much attention to the cars but when he met them coming around the corners it was different. There seems a field for the sugar beet in this country if dealers and factory men will only let the farmer have enough from the sale of it to pay him for raising it. In 1891 we imported a great increase of sugar over 1889. A million acres of ground would be re quired to raise the sugar needed for comsumptiGn in the United States. The Louisiana cane will only crow in the hot region, and the beet certainly will succeed well in some portions of the eountry.

If the farmer can be assured it will pay to raise it, that is all that is necessary. 1 Kokomo Division, No. 6 Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, decided to again contest for the first honors in the World's Pythian tournament at Washington in August. This famous division, after winning eight first prizes at the competitive drills, captur ed the world's championship at To ronto, Canada, in 1886. 1 At the last world's tournament in Cincinnati they lost by 35-100 of a point to Hastings.

Michigan. This 'year tne Kokomo Knights expect to recover their -lost honors. For insubordination the division was expelled after! the Cincinnati tournament, but has been reinstated. At several points on its line the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern has equipped its switches with electric lights. On each switch is placed a signal globe containing a sixteen candle power incandescent lamp.

This is the first road where the electric light has been used as switch signals, and its advantage over the oil lamps can readily be imagined. The globes never become discolored by smoke, nor is the light put out by the jarring of passing trains. The electric light will not freeze, as will an oil lamp in winter, aad will not be blown out by wind. It is stated that the new light is more plainly seen, at a distance of one mile than the ordinary oil signal at a distance of one hundred yards. The same plant which lights the stations and the offices of the company furnishes the electricity for liarh tins' the yards and the switch lights.

Makemson, had 65 bushels of shell' ed corn per acre last year, and eighty the year before. He cultivates -more times than most farmers do, even as many as 8 or 10 times in a season.

In speaking of the new wagons in use by the Collins Ice Cream last! Friday, The Democrat was in error is saying they were built by the Hen-drick's wagon works. The wagons were built by John W. Bowman and were painted at the Hendrick's paint shop. John V. Morgan, bookkeeper at The Democrat office, was 30 years old oq last Saturday, and on Monday evening he invited the entire force to E.
