buried alive last week so the news
papers say. Grain is to be sown over
his grave and when tall enough 10 be
cut will be harvested and the man
exhumed. 1t is claimed that this feat
is frequently accomplished in India.
If the Pecatonia man should fail to live
through the experiment he can no doubt
be spared and it will save the fool
killer so much labor when he visits
that neighborhood.
The ladies of the Congregational
church will give lawn party at the
home of Mrs. r. B. Showalter Friday
evening of this week. The Lancaster
Band will furnish music on the lawn,
while there will be an abundance of
good vocal and instrumental music
within the house parlors. The lawn
will be beautifully lit up with lanterns
and bonfire. Ice cream and cake will
be furnished by the ladies at ten cents
and the sum OF five cents will be charged
for admission to the grounds. Every
body is most cordially invited to be
present and to help in making the oc-
casion a most enjoyable one.
The Fennimore contingent was rath-
er conspicuous at the races Friday.
They came over in large bus that
was decorated all over in red, white
and blue bunting. On the top of the
canopy was a large sign that in big,
black letters, announced that Fenni-
more's big day would be the 18th and
on the other side was printed ~
Come" The gaily decorated rig with
its fifteen or more occupants attracted
the attention of the entire crowd as it
was driven into the fair grounds, and
doubtless the cordial invitation extend
ed in this unique manner accounts for
the large number who went up Tues
day.
We are favored with a program Of
the Northern Indiana Normal School
Commencement which took place
last week. Among the graduates from
the scientific course is Fred thinner
mar, Of Mt Hope, young man who
also holds a High School Diploma, and
who gives much promise of being a
we'll rounded out scholar and man
among men before he is much past his
majority, 1t is very pleasant for us to
Fred on his success, and
We also take much pleasure IA con-
good Mother and Father
Zimmerman upon bringing up four boys
all Of whom are graduates Of good
schools and who give promise of earn
ing regulations creditable enough to
make any parents justly proud.
A. Trapp left Mt. Hope Monday for
Greeley, Ia, with Glorieux, the mag
nifeent Belgian stallion, that belongs
to him and Theo Calvin. OF this city
Mr.. Calvin left here Tuesday to join
Trapp at the Mississippi and win ac-
him 10 Greeley. When the
above named gentlemen bought Glorieux
from Mr.. A. b. Halbert. OF Greeley, WHO
is widely known as one of the largest
of blooded stock, he reserved
the right to show him at the Worlds
far IN the latter part of this month aud
that time has now come. Glorieux was
the winner of several first prizes in
Belgium and it is fair to presume that
he will rank among the best at the
great horse show in Chicago. He now
weighs 1900 lbs. and is in fine condition.
Messrs. Calvin and Trap will not goto
Chicago, but will return home to go
later on.
DR.. Stearn's lecture on The Land of
the Pampasn was very well received
here, and the comments made are very
favorable indeed The good audience
that greeted the Doctor. listened with
much interest and profit to the pleasing
given about the character,
custom, and conditions of our South
American neighbors. We believe there
are but few people in the United States
who knew that the city Of Buenos Ayres
contains half million inhabitants or is
about twice as large as Milwaukee, that
some Of the stores there are as fine rs
any IA the world that many profound
reside there, and that there are
several daily newspapers published in
different languages. Our communica-
ton with these countries is so slight
that it is q matter of surprise 10 learn
that they are making such creditable
along lines Of general civiliza-
ton though hampered BY many customs
brought from the old world of the
Latins, and from which the Anglo Saxon
world is practically Tree. The Doctors
