Another Indiana man has announced 1 his name as a candidate for the office of great commander of the Indiana Maccabees in opposition to S. B. Borden, Hartford City’s candidate. He is ■ R. N. Smith, of Laporte, prosecuting I attorney-elect of Laporte county. , 1 A Portland man who disappeared ten years ago has just written to his ; wife that he “will come back to her from the grave.” She replied that if ; he was comfortable in the grave he i had better remain there, as she had I another husband just at present, who I was giving good satisfaction and she ■ didn’t think she would make a change. i Owing to the action of the Grand Rapids & Indiana railway officials refusing to issue coupon entrance tickets to the Island Park assembly ■at Rome City this year, the board I of managers decided to concur in the action of Secretary Snyder, of LaGrange, in abandoning the Chautauqua ! sessions for 1907 and resolutions were passed to that effect. If figures are correct there were 42 ■ counties in the state that did not build any Improved gravel roads or rock roads during the year 1906. This is shown by a report just made by Miss 1 Mary E. Stubbs, chief of the Indiana bureau of statistics. The total amount • spent on new roads during the year ■ was $37,351.16 as compared with $36,621.03 in »1905, and a total of 654.54 miles were built. This year's school enumeration for j the city of Huntinton will fall from 125 to 150 short of that for last year. Such was the statement made this , afternoon by one of the enumerators. The number of persons found of school age last year in Huntington ; was nearly 2,900. Enumerators this I year are finding quite a decrease, \ many families with children having moved away,/people without children ! taking their places. —Huntington Herald. i Bob Gregory, who spends the summer at Clear Lake, has during the winter had a dozen good substantial boats constructed by local laborers and was today busily engaged in having them loaded to take to Clear Lake by the overland routie. Mr. Gregory i runs a hotel under canvass during the summer and generally has more business than he is able to take care of. ! A number of fishing parties from this . city will visit him during the coming | summer.

The “Yellow” Shoe The question is asked us many times a day. Don’t your Yellow Elk Skin Shoe wear better than the black ? Honest, I can’t see any difference, they both wear so good that I can’t see how they could be any better. I found another pair yesterday that had been half soled three times. Are YOUR Shoes wearing as well ? I sell Mens at $3 00 Boys at $2.50

Jesse Ray will leave for Dayton, 0., in a few days, where he will engage in the insurance business. Married men will certainly appreciate jhe grim humor of a school boy who wrote in an epic, “The foes in front, their wives behind —impossible was flight.” Jesse Smith and his gang of workmen are busily engaged putting down a well back of the laundry. A large amount of water is used at the laundry, and by using it from the well will save the proprietor a large water bill. Eddie Pfefferle has been signed to play with Garrett the coming season, as short stop. He played that position with the Bluffton independent team the last two seasons and many Bluffton fans had hoped to. see bim on the team again this year. Pfefferle has a large circle of admirers in Bluffton. —Bluffton News. David Ruckmaster is walking about our streets today with the aid of a crutch, the result of a heavy piece of timber falling on his left foot, bruising and injuring the member so that he is unable to put his weight on the same. The injury is of such a nature that it will take several weeks for it to heal. F. R. Moore received a letter last evening from B. W. Sholjy, who is at Boulder, Col., in search of good health, stating that he was much better, and was gaining strength rapidly. The climate and high altitude seem to be doing the work and if he continues to improve it' will not be long before he will be ready to return home. The woman who goes shopping at random, as every woman occasionally does, may spend an interesting day in the stores without knowing what the store ads contain; but the woman who goes shopping to buy specific articles at the best advantage in the shortest space of time must preface her trip to the stores by a little careful scanning of the ads. Rev. W. D. Parr, of Kokomo, is at Indianapolis to arrange for the campaign to secure $75,000 for the erection of the Me thodist hospital in that city. Tha campaign will be vigorously pushed all over the state and it is thought there will be little difficulty in raising the amount. The remainder of this week will be spent in outlining she campaign and next week the work of taking subscriptions will begin in earnest. Louie Hunt has his bunch at work. Parker, of this city, is at second and "Rabbit” Bambrough, of Elwood, is again trying for third. In left field is George Betz, formerly of the Hartford City team; Payne, formerly of the Terre Haute league team, is in the center; Jonas Bambrough, who covered short last season, is trying the sun field. Liggett is another candidate for the right field place.— Frankfort Crescent. A new cement block Industry commenced operation in the building located on Monroe street near the river bridge. The firm is composed of a number of Decatur citizens who are going to push the business and make it a success. The new machinery has been installed and it is claimed by the management that they will be able to turn out the best cement block in the state. They expect to have their samples on the markt in the next few days.

Not all “good Indians’’ are dead ones. John Godfrey, of Fort Wayne, who came near being convicted of the murder of his father a year ago, went to Carlisle Indian school and has just been appointed instructor in a Minnesota Indian school. He has given up all his shiftless habits and is a hard staident and quite an exemplary young man —a most remarkable thing when it is considered that he was reared practically in a saloon and his associates were'frequenters of the slums of Fort Wayne. Young Godfrey is a descendant of chief Godfrey. Governor Hughes first went to New York City some twenty years ago, carrying a letter of rcommendation from a county judge to the head of a big legal firm. Young Hughes wore clothes which showed no acquaintance with metropolitan tailors, but he was given a job at $lO a week. The head of the firm surveyed the young man later and said to his partner: “Try quietly to make that young fellow get acquainted with civilized attire as soon as possible.'’ Five years later the “young fellow” married his chief employer’s daughter. Agent Tom L. Miller, of the Clover Leaf,returned home this morning from S", Louis, Mo., where he was called last Sunday to appear as a witness in the case of the Dean Fruit company vs. The Clover Leaf Railroad company. A summary of the case was given in Saturday’s edition of this paper. When he left for home the verdict of the jury had not yet been returned, but he thinks that no matter which way a decision is rendered, the case will be appealed and re-tried. The suit has been hanging fire for five years and as this is the sixth time Miller has been at St. Louis to testify, it has become rather monotonous to him.—Bluffton Banner.

M. W. France made a business trip to Portland today. J. Schug, of Berne, was a business faller to our city today. Ed Ray, of Berne, was a business caller to our cHy today. J. M. Frisinger returned today from a business trip at Ft. Wayne. Mrs. Hoenneizen arrived today from Williams and is the guest of friends. Mrs. James Haviland, of Geneva, was in our city today visiting with friends. George Uhner arrived last evening from Bluffton and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Forbing. L. G. Ellingham is at Indianapolis today serving as a member of tihe voting machine commission. Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Moser returned to Berne today after making a pleasant visit here with friends. Hazel Andrews returned to Monroe today. While here he was visiting with his daughter, Mrs. Louis Weis. A party of Decatur people are arranging to attend the Saturday night performance of "The Lion and the Mouse" at Ft. Wayne. Albert Acker, who has been living with his parents in the north part of

town since his marriage, has gone to housekeeping on Tenth street. Traveling freight agent Weber of the Clover Leaf says that handsome new passenger and freight depots will be erected in Decatur by his road this year. The bad weather today caused all labor along the interurban to be suspnded and the work has thus been delayed for another short period. W’ith good weather the work of relaying the brick in the city along the track will be completed this week. ' The last car on the interurban was forced to make a very sudden stop last night at the Fashion stables to avoid colliding with a buggy which the heavy wind had blown onto the track. The car was stopped just in time and no damage was done to the rig. The Horse Sale to be held tomorrow promises to be the best in the history of the Horse Sale Company, and under favorable conditions a large crowd should be present. A nice bunch of horses have been secured by the management and a number of horsemen from a distance have written that they will be present which fact alone assures thes uccess of the sale. Kendalville is all torn up over an attempt; to remove one of the city mail carriers. Charges were preferred against him by postmaster Alexander, and an inspector is investigating the matter. The people along the route on which the carrier delivered mail are almost unaniomusly for him. The old bad blood over the postoffice war is bing ■stirred up again and an effort may be made to remove the postmaster. Along with the announcement that the railroads traversing Indiana will ignore the “full train” law enacted by the last legislature, so far as intorstate traffic is concerned, comes the subsequent announcement that the carriers will also refuse to obey the provisions of the sixteen hour law except in cases where trains are operating between point’s in this state. The contention of the roads is based on the declaration that Indiana has no right to enact legislation to affect trains doing an interstate business. Leaving Liberty Center at exactly the same time last evening eastbound Clover Leaf passenger train number four and an M., B. & ,E. car raced over their parallel tracks to this city, a distance of six miles. Passengers on both the car and train saw what was going on and much interest was manifested in watching the outcome. For nearly half the way the two rushed along side by side but finally superiority of electricity over steam in a matter of speed was proven by the car drawing steadily away and reaching Bluffton a full minute ahead. — Bluffton Banner.
