CLIPPINGS FROM OUR EXCHANGES Somewhere in this city there is supposed to be a Goshen woman who left ten minor children and a husband stricken with locomotor ataxia to live with another man. South Bend covers considerable ground, but it should be too small to hold her. —South Bend Times. It pays to trade at home. If a city the size of Frankfort in which he lives, is not good enough for one to buy in, he had better pick up and get closer to headquarters; this applies especially if this man is depending on his neighbors for his business. — Frankfort Crescent.

Reports from all over Indiana exclaim at the strength of the gubernatorial boom of Tom Marshall. Yet there is a very general agreement that the timber which this boom offers is the clearest, straightest and soundest to be found in the state. It is not remarkable that the Marshall boom is heartily endorsed by all intelligent and progressive Demoarats. —Fort Wayne News. The standpatters certainly should be kept busy explaining their position with these facts before them: Clothing 22.9 per cent higher than in 1897, fuel and lighting 39.4 per cent higher than in 1894, metals and implements 41.8 per cent higher than in 1898, lumber and building materials 41.4 per cent higher than in 1897 and household goods advanced $21.40 on the SIOO worth in ten years. Have wages advanced as fast as the cost of living? Hardly.—Goshen Democrat. Democrtyjic members of the last legislature are holding a conclave in Indianapolis. Some mystery envelopes the meeting and no one vouchsafes a solution. Various speculations are rife. One is that a petard is being prepared for Hon. Tom Taggart; another that said members purpose framing plans by which they may insure their return to the halls of states, manship; still another that they will discuss devices for wresting the state from the Republicans next year. All are interesting and doubtless all of them more or less unfounded. Dinner card may shed some light on the purpose now so curiously involved in mystery. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. NOTICE —The Kalver junk shop will close all day on Wednesday, Sept. 18th, on account of religious holiday. 221-4 t

There have been others, when we beat our old rivals, from Bluffton, trimmed the Shamrocks or some other widely heralded champions, but none like the battles of Wednesday, when we took two from the strong Kokomo bunch and "boosted” old Decatur safely into the top notch of the 1.-O. league. To add to the enjoyment of the 500 fans who braved the snow clouds, the announcement shouted from the Daily Democrat’s booth at 4:30 that Bluffton had kindly taken Richmond’s scalp for two, fairly made the crowd scream with delight. It looks like Decatur for the pennant at last and the lovers of the sport wore satisfied looks last evening. The first game was as pretty a battle as was ever witnessed here, the locals making a ninth inning finish that was good to see. In the fifth inning the visitors were handed a run on two errors by the locals, and a base on balls. In the ninth with the score one to naght against them, the home boys went in to win. Rasty Witham rapped out a two sacker and so did old Biddy Burns, scoring Witham. Johnson sacrificed Burns to third and he scored on Wallace’s clean single. The fans proceeded to go crazy, hats, handerchiefs, and other handy articles filled the air for several minutes and the climax was a fitting one. Kiehl pitched for Decatur and allowed but five scattered hits. Lacey apposed him and was batted for eleven safe ones. The score:

With the smile of victory still on their faces, the boys went into the second game determined to win, and they did it in the first round, a two bas hit by Pierce, a triple by Burns, and a single by Johnson netting two tallies. In the seventh Rasty went to first on an error, Johnson and Wal’ace hit safely and a wild throw by the pitcher put two more tallies across the pan. In the eighth, singles by Cullen and Pierce and a dou ble by Burns brought another couple in. The visitors got their only run in the third, when they bunched three singles. Kiehl showed the stuff he has up his right arm by pitching the second game and giving but eirh* bingles. Grimes, the pride of Sha-n Ville, graced the mound Ur the ” 3

team, and eight hits when hits meant runs did the work. The score: Decatur. Name.

NOTES. The pennant is within our grasp. Can we hold it? Bluffton, we forgive you for all your sins of the past. Those three from Richmond were the nearest a favor you ever did us. The Decatur association give you a vote of thanks. Van Wert dropped another to Portland and now look like the tail enders. That ninth inning yesterday was a never-to-be-forgotten one and will be played over many a time next winter. Four more games. If we win two of them and Richmond wins all we will still be tied for first. Portland has her second wind, and are after Richmond for second place. Once again the tail-enders have administered a severe drubbing to the top-notchers and at the same time vividly illustrated the comparative strength of the two teams, even if they are at the two extreme ends of the ladder. The drubbing was dished out yesterday afternoon at the West Side park in a drizzling sloppy cold disheartening rain that corresponded exactly with the spirits of the Richmond team which already sees Decatur stepping into first place. The score was 7 to 4, and the visitors never had a look-in. —Bluffton News.

Centerfielder Johnson made the sensational play of the game when he tore in towards the diamond and got a low one. Old John Brown did the fancy work, securing four hits out of seven. Shortstop Stewart, the Van Wert ball player, who was hit in the head by a pitched ball Labor day here, was able to leave the St. Joseph s hospital yesterday for his home in Indianapolis. He is still unable to play ball and may not be able to play again this year. When leaving the hospital he confided to one of the sisters that he had a mighty big desire to get back in the game.—Fort Wayne News. It must indeed, be admitted in all justice, that, although lexicographers have not as yet devoted their acumen to the subject, there does not exist a nice distinction among the terms “rooter,” “bug” and “fan.” Any one may be a rooter if he attends a base ball game only once in a lifetime and yells. A bug, too, need not be a steady patron; his chief requirement is ability to quote data and statistics dealings with averages, games and players. But the fan! He is far above the others as a mahatma above a coo- . lie. To him base ball is sleep, meat ’ and drink. It becomes a fetish. Having passed through the stages of root, er and bug. the soul of a fan frequently achieves a Nirvana that enables him to express untold passion by mere eyglint. Again he may elect to roar. He is the sublimation of base ball fervor, getting out of it all there is in it. o To check a cold quickly, get from your druggist some little Candy Cold Tablets called Preventics. Druggists everywhere are now dispensing Preventics, for they are not only safe, but decidedly certain and prompt. Preventics contain no quinine, no laxative, nothing harsh nor sickening. Taking at the “sneeze stage” Preventics will prevent Pneumonia, Bron chitis, Lagrippe. etc. Hence the name Preventics. Good for feverish children. 48 Preventics 25 cents. Trial boxes 5 C'nts.

Wordsworth, Swinburne, among the poets, and Fielding, Hans Andersen, Charlotte Bronte, Hobbes, Gibbon, Kant, Froude and Zola are among the number of other notable April born. On the other hand, the month of showers proved fatal to Shakespeare, Wordsworth (both on April 23), Goldsmith. Otway, Rossetti, Matthew Arnold, Byron. Chaucer, Tasso, Racine, to name only the principal among the poets who have passed away in April, while among other writers that April has taken away have been Bacon, La Fontaine. Humbc-.lt, Darwin.

When on" grandmothers arrange:! to have chicken for Sunday dinner —for the preacher—they picked out the biggest and fattest and toughest old hev on the place Saturday afternoon and had the boys and dogs "run her down.” A tough old hen that is chased all over the place and frightened out of her life is as tender as a spring lamb when cooked. Fright makes any animal, bird or fowl tender, so the books say, and it appears from this that our grandmothers knew what they were about when they had the tough old hens chased before killing.—El Dorado (Kan.)
