FLASHES FROM OUR NEIGHBORING TOWNS
HON. ABE SIMMONS TO LEAD.
Bluffton, Ind., Sept. 8. -- It is promised that the horse show this year will be one of
the big features of the Bluffton street fair and Wells county agricultural exhibit, and
the horse parade on Wednesday, September 22, promises to be one of the showy events of the
week. Attorney Abram Simmons, who is noted as a lover and owner of fine riding horses,
has consented to ride in the horse parade and to lead the line with his choicest Kentucky
riding horse. He also has kindly offered the loan of two of his other fine riding horses
for the use of two young ladies to ride in the parade.
CAME TO FORT WAYNE TO WED.
Bluffton, Ind., Sept. 8. -- Admission was made yesterday by John Thomas, sexton of the
Baptist church, that he and Mrs. Vernie Perry, to whom a marriage license was issued more
than two weeks ago, were married Saturday evening at Fort Wayne by the pastor of a
Presbyterian church of that city. The couple will reside at her home, on South Union
street.
BABE DRINKS CLEANING FLUID.
Markle, Ind., Sept. 10. -- Charlotte, two years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Slane, residing on South Clark street, drank some gasoline and cleaning fluid and came
very near dying before the efforts of a physician, who worked heroically over the little
girl, had any effect. Mrs. Slane had been using the fluid to clean some clothes, and left
the room for a few moments. Before going out, however, she placed the bottle containing
the cleaning fluid on the kitchen cabinet. After she was gone the little girl pushed a
chair up to the cabinet and procured the stuff and drank a goodly portion before her
mother returned.

Bluffton, Ind., Sept. 10. -- Miss Jessie Spaulding has accepted a position as instructor

duties next Monday morning. Her students will be confined to girls and she will teach
swimming to the various classes during two days of the week and the remaining three days

will teach classes in forty-minute periods.
