Wheat harvest was just going on, and

The report circulated in the papers to
the effect that the Rev. II. j. Talbot
will probably be transferred from Trinity
methodist episcopal church, this city, to
the methodist episcopal church at Bloom
ington, Ind, is erroneous, nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that the Bloomington church
has unanimously asked for such transfer.
Dr. Talbot has not only been called to
Trinity for the fifth year by unanimous
vote of the official board, but practically
the entire congregation has petitioned
the bishop for his retention, and it is
confidently expected that he will be re-
turned. DR.. Talbot is not only popular
with his own church. but with all the
other protestant churches of the city
and his removal from New Albany would
prove a serious loss to the general
methodism of the city.-New Albany

Darius Cooper has brought to town
and placed on exhibition at Dr. Hender-
sons drug store a specimen snake
cucumber raised on his farm just west
of town, that is a sure enough corker.
1t is not straight like the ordinary
! cucumber but twists and coils like a
snake. 1t is dark green in color, about
| three inches in diameter at the largest
| part and measures forty-eight inches in
| length. If Starke county soil will raise
oucumbers of that size we see nothing to
| prevent its growing watermelons big
| enough to reach across a ten-acre lot.
] After the above was in type Mr.. Cooper
/ brought to this office a cucumber Of the
J same variety and evidently the father
] of the one mentioned above. 1t is FIVE
] feet and one-half inch long and can be
seen in our show window.-Starke County

A young man called at the First ma
| tionaI bank Thursday morning and told
! the cashier, Mrs. Dick, that he was on
| his way home to Sparta, Wis, from the
east and that while on G. & E. train
| west of Marion he was robbed of all his
| money and his railroad ticket. Later he
| returned to the bank and said he was
| on his way to Cincinnati. At the Citi-
! zens' bank he told the same story he
| first related to Mrs. Dick. He wanted to
raise ten dollars to get home. He was
broke" but he finally succeeded in send
| ing a telegram to his father at Sparta
! by pawning his revolver with Mrs. An
| derson, the Western Union operator to
| cover the charges. The telegram asked
! that a money order be sent him. The
| amount stolen from the young man was
said to be something near S130.-Hunt-
| ington Democrat.

A letter written yesterday by a gen.
tleman from this city, who called w.
/ Fred Petit, confines the news of his
| illness first published in the Courier.
! He says: II found Mr.. Petit out of his
room walking about the hospital, hav-
| ing Just returned from a walk i'm the
fresh air about the yard. His condition
is serious, yet noe Immediately danger
| Gus The future developments of the
| disease depending largely upon the at
mosphere changes, the severe lake
] winds being very detrimental. His
| courage is good and he is looking for
ward to a change back to Lafayette,
where he believes the change will be
the most beneficial. While it is true

strength holds up remarkably well, hav-

Glover hulling has commenced, the
| average yield being about one and a
half bushels per acre. Much clover is
| raised in this part of the state by our
farmers. and is one of the most valuable
! crops of the farm. Land reasonably
covered gets better every year. Nothing
! puts the soil in so good condition as
clover. The long roots go deep into the
earth and augment its plant-producing
| qualities In many ways. Not only may
| q good crop be harvested, but a more
valuable crop is left in the ground to
nourish and aid the succeeding grain
| crops that the field may be planted to.
| The long, fibrous roots aereate almost
! equal to drain tile and when decomposi-
ton comes the effects produced far excel
those of any Of the commercial phos-
pilates that could be applied to the soil.

| william Dunfee and wife of South
| Pearl-st are suffering under more trials
and misfortunes than usually overtake
| a family at one time. On Tuesday their
| little son, Ray Edwin, aged two years
and twenty days, died Of brain fever
and a complication of spinal trouble,

| services at the house by the Rev. Mr..
Faunce the little body was inferred in
