I knowledged as bone fide and one too. that boosts Decatur, and boosts her merchants her banks and her factories in season and out of season? What is the difference between a 1 farmer buying of a Chicago mail order house and a merchant who buys I through his wholesaler, those articles not carried in his own store? i What makes a good town any way? Is it the boosting of one class to - make business and profits good for another class, so that they may go out of town to satisfy their own tastes, but which If practiced generally. a would be treason against the loyalty r to home industry? a To be continued. r 1 Maryland is howling for a Demor cratlc state conference to formulate state issues. This illustrates the dis. advantage of not having a machine to save the rank and file the trouble of 1 thinking. Just imagine those Maryiandj ers sweltering through the hot days and nights to determine what is the paramount issue, when three or four of the boys could fix it up in one evening between drinks. —Muncie Star. s War Against Consumption. s All nations are endeavoring to check the ravages of consumption. - the "white plague ' that claims so many victims each year.

bad his nerve when he faced Alberts with the bases full and two outs and Iwe needed two runs to win. His i clean single to right field doing the work. Nash was one of the best heads , we had in the team. Guess when you beat ten men in the ninth you are playing the old ’ game to perfection. Behringer filled his position in excellent style desterday. accepting nine hard chances without an error. Guess Berry" hasn t been going some in the past week. Witham captured two nice hits, one being for a two sacker and one being a clean single. Nick Winger s father from Cincin- ’ r.ati saw the game from the grandstand yesterday and was a hard rooter | for the locals. Alberts had things his own way I until the ninth, when a series of contributions precipitated defeat to his, colleagues. Burns, the first man up. | was an easy out on a fly to Gage. Weber started the troubled when he j clouted a high fly to Koons, who muffed his first ball this season. Pierce followed with a single, advancing Weber, and again Witham walloped the horsehide for a base, scoring Weber. Winger rapped out a warm one to Waida. who threw Pierce out at the plate, and which decision of L m- 1 pine Connell called forth loud protests I from the Decatur members. The run , should have counted, as Pierce un- • questionably beat the throw home, { but the Jouraal-Gaxette hesitates to • say that Connell had any discrimiat- j ing intent in making the decision. Way drew transportation, filling the bases, with the score 3 and 2 in favor of the locals. Nash wielded the hickory that turned the tide, his single scoring both Witham and Winger.— Journal-Gate tte. This afternoon it looks as though a new association would be successful. They will lease the grounds and, take charge of affairs, retaining the j same team. The old members of the club will al’ be named and base ball will likey be continued in Decatur. The new association opens with tomorrow s game with Portland. A representative of the Bluffton team was here this afternoon ready to sign several of the players. o Earl Snow went to Portland this afternoon on special business.

OBITUARY. Samuel Mills was born in Licking county. Ohio, March 3, 1826, and departed this life June 29. 1907, aged 81 years, three months and 26 days. He was the son ot Abraham and Margaret < Pease l Mills, natives of Pennsylvania. who emigrated from Ohio to Wells county, Indiana, in 1840, settling on i the land known as the W ible farm. | Samuel at the age of 23 years, purj chased a 160-acre tract, eighty acres ’ of which he lived on until his demise. He early learned privation and hard- ; ship common and in early settlers of | this country and in clearing his farm ’ he showed great strength and endur- . ance. yielding an ax with great power. and but few. if any. equalled him in clearing his land. No one did more than he toward wiping out the wilderness and converting the land into beautiful farms. Through industry coupled with economy, in no sense approaching parsimony, enabled him to j become the owner of a fine and well I improved farm. He was an excellent , farmer, taking great pride in his work i and was always in the lead, planting when others were plowing; husking I when others were cutting, but because of old age and the inroads of disease he began to fee! the ravages of time and was compelled to lay down the tools of the farm and wait the inevitable. Mr. Mills was twice married, in May 23. 1849. he chose for his companion Miss Magdaline Bender. To this union were born five children. S. . C.. of Adams county; Sarah Ellen Kleinknight. of Kingland. Sylvester. I of Wells county; L. C-, of Adams counIty, and Mary Jane Sowards, of Toc- | sin. In the spring of 1879 he was again married to Margaret Phebie Gibbs. To this union were born two children. Henry and Ethel, residing in Wells county. We can say that a more, kind-hearted, charitable and ac.i commodating neighbor never lived than Samuel Mills. He was ever ready to aid a neighbor in distress and his aid came from the heart. He answer-. ed his country's call for volunteers during the great rebellion, enlisting

in August, 1862. with Mr. James Wasir Company G. 101st Indiana nfantrv. He served his country with credit and was honorably discharged after suffering a long and severe spell of sickness. He leaves a wife seven children, twenty-five grandchl.dren, and eleven great-grandchildren to mourn his departure. He bore his suffering with great fortitude and often remarked that he was at peace with his God and ready to go. The funeral services were held at the Emmanual M. E. church last Sunday at 2 p m., conducted by the Rev. A. J. Duryee, of Uniondale, interment in Murray cemetery. —— G. B. Burhaus testifies after four years G B Burhaus, of Carlisle Confer, N. Y.. writes: “About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble bv taking less than two bottles of Folev’s Kidney Cure It entirely stopped the brick dust sediment and ’ pain and symptoms of kidney disease disappeared. I am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of those symptoms during the four years that have elapsed and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartilv recommend Foley's Kidney Cure to any one suffering from kidnev or bladder trouble.
