The wise people are now placing their orders and having their bins filled so that when the snow flys they can sit back comfortably and have nothing to worry about.

While returning from the fire at noon today with the hose cart hitched on behind, the Mersman Beer wagon, one of the big black horses fell near the residence of Dr. J. S. Boyers and a serious accident was narrowly avert, ed. The animal cut and bruised itself in several places, although nothing serious. The presence of mind of those on the wagon was all that saved a serious accident. A small blaze was discovered in the residence of James Smith in the west part of the city at noon today but was put out before any serious damage was done. We were unable to ascertain how the fire caught. The fire company responded to the call, but they were ordered back before thev reached the scene, as the fire was put out by a bucket brigade. The loss was very slighL A number of traveling men had a great deal of fun at the expense of the Decatur fire department at noon today when the company was preparing to respond to the call at the Smith fire. The fire laddies took the jollying in a good natured way and responded to each remark hurled at them in a joking manner. Strangers should not blame the firemen for the , state of affairs, as they are deserving of considerable praise concerning their ability to labor under difficulties, j

A number of the local union men were at Fort Wayne yesterday, where they assisted in celebrating Labor Day. A big demonstration was had at Fort Wayne, and one of the best programs ever had at the Summit City was carrid out yesterday. The feature of the day was the street parade. When local freight No. 37, C. H. and D., stopped in Piqua, last night, a grewsome find was made under the second car, where an unidentified man was discovered with his head crushed off and his right leg missing. He evidently had been killed but a moment before in attempting to alight from the train. The train crew says it saw a man get on at Sidney, and it is supposed that he was the one killed. The man was about forty-five years of age.

Samuel Gasser, of Clarenton, Ohio, > a brother of Nick Gasser, deceased, t was in town yesterday to lay in his claim as heir to the property of the s decedent. He had just learned of the death of his brother and that he 1 left some valuable real estate, but was sadly disappointed to find out that a mortgage covers the property to its ’ market value. He is much younger 1 than Nick, has a family of six children, four of whom are married. He s came in the morning and went home 8 again in the afternoon. —Bere Witness. Labor Day was observed yesterday throughout the country as the na- * tional holiday of the working man. The great mass of toilers, who labor with their hands as well as their i brains for a livlihood. celebrated the B day in tribute to honest toil and not i- in a spirit of defiance or of conflict v with any other interest. The day r passed quietly here. Business geners ally was suspended and the working 1 man who did not go elsewhere to participate in the celebration remained s at home with his family. There was no demonstration here of any kind. Ernst Blazer, the little son of Mr. 3 and Mrs. Elwood Blazer, who reside 3 on Niblick street, held the lucky num--3 ber 4961 that drew the sewing ma- ’ chine at the Pictorium last evening. 1 The house was packed by those holding coupons, and the show was en- > joyed immensely by those who at- > tended. The machine went to a well r deserving family and will no doubt I do them much good and they are t today receiving the congratulations i of their friends over the event. A . new show will be given this evening i when some new announcements will . be made by Manager Stoneburner. Only those who have an opportunity to see the most beautiful scenery at Grand Canyon can appreciate its grandeur and those who have never seen this picturesque scene can see a correct reproduction of it at the electric theater tonight Not only is the canyon shown, but also the petrified forest and many other beautiful aigtfts in Arizona, Including bright angel's trail and other interesting things. Tourists are seen wending their way in the narrow foot paths around the canyon, and the entire film is interesting. This show will not only prove interesting but educating as well, so don’t miss it. Not at any time since the early part of the year has there been a lull in development work or a cessation in the search for new pools or extensions to the old fields in Indiana, Ohio. West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ken. tucky. In both directions so little has been accomplished as to attract little attention to any particular quarcer. None of the producing districts outside the Illinois gusher territory is attracting any attention worth mentioning. but with better prices for the crude product and cessation of opera, tions in Illinois more work would be done in the older fields mentioned, jay county still holds the boards in the Indiana field, as does Wood county in northwestern Ohio.

Harry Beery, who for the past three years has been employed at the Nachtrieb drug store, left this morning for Valparaiso, Indiana, where he will take up the study of pharmacy.
