ship, who has been confined to her
home by illness for almost a year,
was able to ride to Argos this week
The weather bureau is predicting
more warm weather If that Is the
best it can do, it might as we'll take
vacation till fall.
According to the weather s-harps,
the backbone of the heat wave has
been broken, and there is every in
dication that the days of killing heat
are past for the present.
The Methodist excursion will not
go to Winona. The Pennsylvania
Company refuses transportation for
excursions and Sunday schools will
have to go somewhere else
The democratic mayor of Chica-
go is now, as to municipal owner
ship, where his defeated republican
opponent was before the election.
This beats the democratic record in
catching up.
Former Senator Cockrell says the
democratic party can rally again on
its rock-bottom principles. The par
ty has struck rock bottom all right,
but perhaps too hard to ever rally
again.
| The Monon railroad has caught
the infection of fast passenger SER
vice, and will cut down the schedule
of all its trains from Chicago to
| Louisville by an hour and twenty
minutes. The Monon will also put
on better passenger service on all
its lines. An entirely new passenger
schedule for the road is now being
arranged.
An order has been issued from the
postoffice at Washington, which will
change the color of the mail boxes
from aluminium to a dark green
paint. The aluminium color proved
sore disappointment The theory
upon which it was adopted for uni
versal use was all right, but would
not pan out in practice. The notion
was that boxes painted with alumni
mum never would rust, but retain
their bright silver sheen indefinitely.
The political editor OF the Logans-
port Journal got busy this week and
spun off the following sentiment.
The farmer rises with the dawn
And 1abors hard till dark
Just now, because the harvest's on.
But afterwards, please mark,
He does not get bit of rest,
Nor are things with him slow,
For he must work with greater zest
To spend SO burned much dough.
The fifteen ton steam roller used
by w. w. Hatch and Sons on the
street before the brick pavement is
laid in order to settle the ground,
ran over some soft ground on North
Center street near Jackson street
Thursday evening at o'clock and
sank several feet into the ground
next to the curbing. The ground at
this point is composed of much clay
and the recent heavy rains and the
fact that trench for the new water
mains had just been dug here were
the cause of the heavy roller sink
ing. The workmen labored until
twelve o'clock last night endeavoring
to raise the roller by means of Jacks.
They resumed the work this morn
ing and at the time we went to press
they had not succeeded in getting
it out of the hole. Mr.. Hatch ex-
| poets this to happen often before he
finishes the rolling of Center street.
When Sophia street was rolled pre-
paratory to paving the roller was
sunk at one time FIVE feet in the
ground and also on South Michigan
