If I Had My Way tl WOULD HAVE A PURE SHOE LAW. A LAH THAT COMPELLED THE MANUFACTURER TO LABEL " EVERY SHOE WITH JUST WHAT IT WAS MADE OUT OF. WHETHER THE SOLES WERE DRY HIDE OR SLAUGHTER LEATHER, THEY LOOK ALIKE, BUT THERE’S A DIFFERENCE. WHETHER THE UPPERS WERE KID OR CAPARETTA, THE LATTER LOOKS THE BEST, BUT THE FORMER STANDS THE TEST. WHETHER THE INSOLES AND COUNTERS WERE LEATHER, PUNK OR PANCAKE. COME AND LET ME SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE. The Better the Grade The Bigger the Trade. Charlie Voglewede Th® Shoe Seller

Mr. and Mrs- John Wolpert, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burr returned Sunday morning from Arkansas, where they bad been for the past six months, assisting in cutting timber for the Cardwell Box Company. They spent an enjoyable six months, but were mighty glad to return to Decatur, where the climate is not so hot. There are too many person who watch the time when they work, and too many who want to work short hours. In this they defeat their own interests rather than help themselves along. No difference when or where you find him, the one who succeeds is the one who works “over time” never under. Speaking of the number of students working their way through Chicago University, the Chicago Examiner of today speaks of Howard W. Marsh, a son of former county auditor Marsh, now a banker at Kokomo- Howard is attending the university and defrays his expense of board and tuition by clerking during his spare hours in a shoe store. A section of the Wallace-Hagen-back circus train was wrecked near Muskegon Wednesday morning. The elephant cars proved too top-heavy for a sharp curve and tipped over. Six animals were killed. Several elephants escaped to the woodst but were later caught and loaded on other cars. The accident occurred on the Pere Marquette railroad. According to reports made to Fassett A. Cotton, state superintendent of public instruction, the country teachers of the state are becoming more and more interested in agriculture as a study together with domestic science and all forms of industrial training. This fact is indicated in the advance information furnished the state superintendent regarding the county institutes to be held within the next few weeksThe city council of Warsaw got a bid for paving certain alleys, but they turned it down. It was the third time bids had been asked for. On two former occasions not a bid was received. The third time proved the charm and a Goshen firm filed a bid offering to do the work for $1 54 per square yard. The brick specified in the bid were considered inferior in quality and the city engineer said besides the bid was 20 cents too high. The council will try once more.

The title of the pictures that will be shown at the Pictorium this evening are “The Little Blind Girl” and “The Attempted Suicide.” The films are new and Mr. Stoneburners patrons will no doubt be royally entertained.

This is in conformity with the new schedule. Lon Ball left this afternoon for Maysville, Ind., where he will join Charles Ross, of Paulding, Ohio, and take orders for enlarged pictures. These gentlemen returned from lowa a short time ago, where they did a splendid business and they will likely return to that state in September to work in the same business. Miss Perle Burdg, while visiting with her aunt over Sunday at Geneva, met with a slight accident Sunday that forces her to walk with a slight limp. She was standing on the porch and unconsciously stepped off the same, not judging the distance properly, the result being that she sustained a very badly strained ankleAlthough very painful, she is still able to perform her regular duties as society editor on this paper. George Sanders, the Clover Leaf brakeman, who was injured at Alhambra Wednesday evening, may not recover, is the startling news receiv ed here by his friends. The physi cians, who had charge of the injured man, decided that amputation was nec essary and removed the crushed foot and a portion of the leg. It is stated he has grown worse and may not recover from the shock- —Frankfort Crescent. A strait packet is to be provided for Harry Mote, who is violently delirious. Mote is confined in a cell at the county infirmary and has caused Superintendent Mills much trouble. It has been impossible to keep him clothed or to keep anything in his cell. The strait jacket will be provided at the suggestion of Attorney C. W. Kinnan, of Montpelier, who has charge of Mote’s affairs. A strait jacket is a waistcoat of some strong material used in restraining maniacs. It has long sleeves, which are closed at the ends, confining the hands, and Gazette. Inability upon the part of the management to secure a berth in the In-diana-Ohio league, has forced the Frankfort management to disband the semi-professional base ball team that has so nobly battled for the glory of the city when the diamond this year. With the league organized and Frankfort out of it, there was no chance to secure games with teams in our own class and there was nothing left to do but quit The fans made a great effort to get into the league, and had Marion been successful in getting a park it would have been an eight team league with Frankfort in.—Frankfort Crescent.

Several from Montpelier were in Blugton yesterday afternoon and saw one of the best ball games that has been played there this season. The Bluffton and Decatur teams were opponents and as Decatur had stfll one the best of the series the Wells county boys were out for blood and succeeded in coming out with the big end of a2to 0 score. Decatur had their last year’s mainstay, Thomas Railing, in the box, but he was unable to win his first game for them, however he pitched great ball, he and Guhl, of Bluffton, about splitting honors. Railing has just returned from Tecumseh, Mich.—Montpelier Herald. The Logansport papers "point with pride” to the honesty of that city's coal dealers- They mention the fact that patrolmen, one day, stopped coal haulers and took them and their loads to the city weighing scales and found that their weights were correct in every instance. The papers also add that the chief promises to swoop down upon the “unsuspecting” coal wagons again, when the drivers are not lookin', and have another weigh. But, all the same, the coal haulers will get the second tip when to expect the weighing cops, and so they’re sure to have full loads. It’s very nice, you know, to make an honest show-down for the benefit of the hardworking coal buyers. Bartenders are interested in the case against Isaac Martin, a drink server at Muncie, who is charged with selling beer to a minor. Martin admits that he sold the drink to Edward Foster, who is eighteen years old. but who has the appearance of a man of twenty-one years or more, and he was fined in the city court. Thereupon he appealed his case to the circuit court on the ground that a bartender has no means of determining the age of a patron save by investigation, and he must accept the statement of the customer- The question has caused saloon men all over the state lots of trouble and the outcome is awaited with interest. Jacob Masterson has just returned from Ft. Wayne where he has been at the bedside of his brother, Ellis Masterson, who met with a very serious accident in that city last week. Mr. Masterson has been foreman of the car barns there for the last twen-ty-seven years, and while doing something in a second story last Sunday, fell and struck an obstacle on the lower floor that almost disemboweled him. The doctors at the Lutheran hospital began their operation upon him that evening, not finishing until next morning. His brother, Jacob, says that it is hard to tell about his chances of getting over the injury, although he seems to be getting along satisfactory to the physicians in charge.—Bluffton Banner. This morning Attorney S. J. Morris called upon Charles Dunn at the county jail to begin preparations for the third trial of Dunn, on the charge of murder, alleged to have been committed in July, 1901. Dunn has been in jail or the penitentiary ever since that time and has twice been convicted of the charge of murder and sentenced to the prison for life. Both cases have been reversed and Dunn is now in the eye of the law innocent of the murder of Alice Corthrell, at Wallen, Ind., until proved guilty. The case will be tried probably in September before Judge Watkins, of Huntington. Dunn is cheerful and hopeful. He says that he feels that he will be finally acquitted and he maintains his innocence of the crime, as he has on all former trials. —Ft. Wayne News.
