The Fashion Books HI Say the most stylish of shoes are made by “Krippendorf.” No fashionableness of costume will cover a neglect of footwear, for are not a woman’s credectils to refinement signed by her shoes? And her passport therefor should be the “Krippendorf.” If you have never tried a “Krippendorf” ||B just try one pair. They will / work wonders in the looks of your feet. The prices are reasonable, )' $3, $3-50 and $4Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

A sad feature of the death of Fred Coles, the Warren young man who fell from a derrick at Robinson, 111., was the fact that Thursday was to have been his wedding day. He was to have been married to Mrs. Corrie O’Conners, of Van Buren, and he had intended to leave Robinson the day following his death for home to have the wedding solemnized. —Bluffton News. Abijah Goodwin, of Elgin. well known farmer, was tn the city yesterday and reports that the red weevil is playing havoc with the wheat. This little pest, which feeds on the grain, will destroy all prospects for a wheat crop worthy of mentioning in this county this year. Many fields were destroyed by the severe cold weather of winter and that which was not is being taken by the weevil. —Van Wert Times.

Word from Lima announces that William Phillips, a former Decatur boy, has been appointed general manager of the Manhattan restaurant of that place, which is one of the largest concerns in that city. Will has been in the restaurant business for years and we predict that under his management that the business will prove a success. The wheat harvest in the county will be on in full blast within tEe next few days and before next Saturday night much of the wheat in the county will have been cut. The harvest is a little late this year but the grain is now ripe enough to cut. For the past few days farmers who have wheat have been buying twine and getting ready for the work that is before them. The special car on the interurban that was sent out last Friday on a trip hrough Ohio carrying with them a number of citiezns from this city, returned Saturday afternoon in excellent shape and report a fine time. The trip was made without mishap and the entire party was royally received by the different cities along the line. Mayor Coffee was a member of the party and is enthusiastic over the reception a.orded them. Fred L. Feick, Chairman jof the legislative board of the allied railroad trainmen organizations, who is now addressing the laboring men over the state with the idea of organizing them, in speaking about general labor conditions said that the next step that labor was interested in, and trainmen, especially, was to see to it that the various voluntary relief departments which have been in operation on some railroads for manyyears were run in the interests of the men themselves, and not the railroads. —Frankfort Crescent. James Wolfe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wolfe, of this city, who was believed to have been lost in Cincinnati where he went on an excursion last Sunday, returned home Thursday having walked all the way. 'Wolfe says he missed the train at the Union station and being without mon. ey or friends there was only one thing left for him to do and that was to walk. He started out to “hoof” it and reached here in time for the Fourth of July celebration, after having been on the road since Sunday. Wolfe works at Monpelier in the shovel works and was accompanied to Cincinnati by a number of fellow workmen. —Hartford City Gazette. While sweeping at her store this morning Miss Nell Krill struck her hand a sever blow against a counter, the pain of the accident making her deadly sick. Fearing that she was about to faint, she started for some water and to steady herself, leaned against a machine. Before able to get to the hydrant, she fell, fainting, and in the fall hit her chin against the machine, cutting a gash in it. At the time she w-as alone, Miss Martha Tribolet, who is assisting her, having not yet arrived, but a customer discovered her plight and called help. Dr. Hatfield was summoned and took three stitches in her chin to close the wound. —Bluffton Banner.

Linderbeck, our candy centerfielder, today received word from Quincy, 111., asking for his terms. He replied at once and if accepted will leave in a few days for that city. Quincy is in the Missouri Valley league, and in securing Linderbeck they have caught a good hitter and outfielder. A number of our citizens were at the carnival grounds all day today looking the same over and w’atching the proceedings of erecting the different show- tents and carnival ground in general. The company has a lot of show furniture and fixtures and will no doubt entertain the people in excellent style this w-eek. John Sprague, who had the misfortune to have his big team of horses injured last week in a mixup with the interurban, says that the animals are recovering as nicely as could be expected under the circumstnces, although he is afraid that in the end he will lose the big bay, which is the most valuable of the team. This is the horse that had a large vein ruptured in its leg. There has been some complaint by paries in the business district because the asphalt streets in the outly. ing districts were repaired first and the business section was left full of holes. These persons probably will have their wrath appeased when they are told that it is the purpose to entirely resurface the streets in the business portion. All of the old asphalt. will be torn off and the streets will be made to look as good as new.—Biuffton News.

At Warsaw, the uncovering of a for. tune amounting to more than 914,000 has caused considerable surprise among the friends of Samuel Bitzer, for thirty years bookkeeper and cashier of the Lake City bank at Warsaw, who died suddenly at Los Angeles. For more than twenty-five years before his departure for the Pacific coast, he had not boarded a railway train. A life-long resident of Wrsaw, he had never visited Winona only three miles distant. It is said that his living expenses during the last few years of his life were less than S3OO a year. His entire estate consists of drafts with no accruing interest. According to notice given by the passenger department of the Pere Marquette, the interstate commerce commission has ruled that it is unlawful to issue either free or reduced rate transportation to employes on sleeping cars, express cars, linemen of telegraph and telephone companies to railway mail service employes, posoffice inspectors, customs inspectors and immigration inspectors. Under this ruling the employes of the govenment must pay fare just like other people. The Pere Marquette, under the receivership, has not been giving favors of this character, but it is understood that previous to the recent interpretation of the law such concessions were made by nearly all the railroads. —Frankfort Crescent.

The artistic work on this sign was done by Med Miller, and it is a daisy. A number of Decatur people are now preparing to leave for their summer homes in the far north, where they expect to remain uiitil cold weather sets in. The recent few hot days have forced them to make up their minds in quick order. The finance committee of the city council was busily engaged today in looking over a list of city orders of ancient date with the view of redeeming them. The city is fast getting on its feet and its financial condition is now a hundred per cent better than two years ago. The old uniforms of the base ball association have been turned over to Charles Pennington, who is captain of the second team and they will be cleaned up and used by that team during the remainder of the season. The suits are in fairly good shape and are good for several years of service. The interurban line yestreday handled a large crowd of people who attended the picnic at the St. Johns church and also those who attended the ball game at Ft. Wayne. The cars run ever hour and a half and thus afforded excellent services to those desiring to make either trip. The cars also made excellent time. John Rex. the veteran butcher, who had his hand injured some time ago after which blood poison set in in a mild manner was forced to undergo another little operation this morning and had the same lanced. This makes the fourth time the hand has been lanced and his physicians now think he will get along in excellent shape. The members of the fair association are working hard and from reports received to date the fair this season promises to be the best in the history of the association. C. D. Kunkle, sec. retary of the fair association, states that he is receiving inquiries every day concerning the fair which fact alone insures its success. A leak in the Standard Oil line that crosses the St. Marys river near the Fritsinger stone quarry was noticed late yesterday afternoon and a number of men were dispatched from Preble to mend the same. The loss sustained by the leak was several hundred barrels and we are not absolutely certain whether John D. can stand it or not. Practically all the arrangements have been completed for the Eagles Day on Tuesday, July 16th. and they are expecting to have a most enjoyable time. A number of the lodges which have received invitations have responded stating that they accepted the same and would send a delegation Something like four hundred are expected to be present from Ft. Wayne alone. FOR SALE —An elegant house of 12 rooms located on one of the choicest residence sections of Ft. Wayne. This house is practically new and perfectly modern in every respect?.
