During his trip he had an opportunity of seeing what Wabash, Marion and Hart ford City were doing in the way of Improvements and he gives it as his honest opinion that Huntington is building double the amount of all three of those towns put together, and two of them are gas towns too.

A few days ago two brothers named Fowler arrived at Rich Valley, Wabash county, and secured work as farm hands. Last Saturday an official arrived and placed one of the brothers, Frank, under arrest on the charge of having forged a check for $37,000 on Governor Bates of Tennessee, a little more than a year ago.

H. Shaffer, of this city, and EL A. K. Hackett, of Fort Wayne, Trustees of the feeble minded children, visited Indianapolis the first of the week and secured a warrant for the ten thousand dollars necessary to purchase the grounds selected for the site near Fort Wayne. Dr.

Shaffer thinks they Will be able to proceed with the building without money, which is not now available. It is stated that beginning with next Sunday the Wabash will put on through fast freight and passenger service between Chicago and Detroit, using the C. A. track to Newton for that purpose. This portion of the Wabash is in the hands of the old receivers and not operated by tho Wabash proper.

This arrangement will necessitate a new time card and will have a tendency to make quite a town of Newton. Bruce Carr, Auditor of State, says an exchange, has sent a circular out to all county Auditors, stating that as there was no provision made by the last general assembly "for the continuance of a tax levy for.the new State House fund thetax levy of each upon $100 worth of taxablo property in this State for said purpose is discontinued, and therefore no tax lew far that purpose should be placed on the tax duplicate for lSST." J. Miller, formerly of this city, has our thank3 for copies of the Garden City (Kas.) Herald. Jn the issue of June 8th we find the following personal: "Mr. Ed.

T. Brown, a prominent and influential citizen of Huntington, Ind, arrived in the city yesterday and to day is viewing the wonders of the phenomenal city of the southwest. Mr. Brown expresses himself as more than pleased with the push and enterprise of the 'Queen of the Prairies." The prospect for a general celebration of the Fourth of July In this city looks a little gloomy. The G.

A. Post took the matter in hand and were arranging a big celebration but now we understand their ardor has been cooled and the celebration is not as certain as it was. This is not right. We ought to have a big celebration here in which everybody cotild unite nnd it should not bo left until the last minute before work is commenced. No organization Is so well fitted to conduct such a celebration as is the grand army and they should posh the matter through.

In redisricting the State for district deputy Grand Chancellors Huntington county was placed in the third district with Whitley, Allen, Wabash, Wells, Adams and Miami counties by the grand lodge K)f P. These deputy Chancelors have not yet been appointed. The Uniform Rank of lodge was also reorganized and the taumber of regiments was increased from three to five.

Miller are brother and sister. Deceased was 23 years of age. From all accounts the meeting Of the Editorial Association at Warsaw last week was largely attended and was a most enjoyable occasion. A rush of work prevented the attendance of any representative from this paper. A number of the editors of the North em' part of the State were there and we hear nothing but praise for Warsaw and the meeting.

The hext meeting will be held at Gosh en. Among the officers selected for the ensuing year was O. E. Mohler, of the Herald of this city, who was chosen corresponding secretary. The Democrat last week was not mailed until Saturday morning.

As was said in that issue it is sel dom that the paper is late and never without good cause. The immense amount of labor required to set up and print the assessment of personal property of every person in Huntington county is apparent to all and when it is done between Tuesday afternoon and the next Saturday morning it means night and day work. It was done with our own excellent force and a night force secured by the kindness of 'friends at Fort Wayne, and by the lueky dropping in of one of those pilgrims who are generally around when not wanted and never in when you need them.

A. Kaufman Superintendent. ANOTHER SUICIDE. A Wealthy Wells County Farm er Cuts His Throat. A dispatch from Bluffton last Monday has the following regarding the suicide of a wealthy resident of Wells county: Adam King, living eight miles south of this city, committed suicide last evening by cutting his throat with an old razor.

He was a wealthy farmer of good character and large family, and his act was a shock to all who knew him. He had gone to his barn to hitch up his team aud take his wife and daughter to evening service at the church, to which they had long belonged. Most of his children are grown op and several of them married, he being about sixty years of age. The reason for his suicidal act will remain a mere matter of conjecture. When discovered he was lying quietly on his face upon some hay on the barn floor, and was carried out by a son and some neighbor boys in the belief that he had been stricken with paralysis, the sad truth only revealing itself when he was carried outside.

Get a Home Now. Secure a home while it is possible to do so. Few people realize the fact that there is no other town or city upon the face of this green earth, whkh offer such inducements to procure a home as are now offered in this city. Every person paying rent, can, with a little economy, have a home of his own. If not a large one, a small one some place he can call home.

In making the commencement is the hardest part. When once commenced and with a determination, persons will be astonished how easy it will be to procure a home. Come and see me and talk the matter over; learn plan, and see if I am not correct. 50 4t Wm. C.
