GAVE OFFICIALS NOTICE TO ABATE NUISANCES.

BLUFFTON, Ind., July 20. -- A few days ago the city appointed L. K. Plessinger to spy around the city and serve notices for the health board wherever he found anything inimical to the city's health. Just to show the officials he was the right man for the place Mr. Plessinger served notices upon the officials themselves in three different cases of where weeds are allowed to grow. And he declares he will enter suit if the nuisance is not abated.

(By Kist News Bureau.)

BLUFFTON, Ind., July 20. -- Uniondale, in the west part of Wells county, on the Erie and C., B. & C. railways, is getting strong on amusements. The little town gave one of the most successful Fourth of July celebrations ever pulled off in this part of the country, and now is going into the racing business. Saturday afternoon the sport of kings will consist of four class races, which will be topped off with a running race. A half mile track has been built on the Jonathan Brickley farm.


EXPLAINED WHY GIRL WAS SENT TO POOR FARM.
(By Kist News Bureau.)

BLUFFTON, Ind., July 20. -- When Mrs. Rachel Falk died in this city about three years ago, she left an imbecile daughter, along with some city property. The property was not worth much and was mortgaged. In her will she left the real estate to the Methodist church, with the understanding that her daughter should be provided for by the church. This the church, as a business organization, refused to do, but the girl has been looked after by individual members. A week ago the daughter was sent to the poor farm, she to have the rent from the house to pay her expense. She was not placed in the county house as a poor person but her expenses are to be paid. Not knowing the inside of the case, certain parties in the west part of town have been making very uncomplimentary remarks about the membership of the church, until one of the members who has been interesting himself in seeing after the girl's welfare carded the local paper to-day telling full particulars.
