Gilpin north of the city.—Portland Review. It is said that the Ft. Wayne Shamrocks will split $5,000 among the members of the team. The team, together with the management, split at the end of the season. Each draws so much each Sunday game and pay the park a per cent. What is left over is put into the fund that is split at the end of the season. The season has been such a successful and prosperous one that it is rumored that all of $5,000 will be split between the eleven or twelve men. The Straub family are again on their high horse and are furnishing considerable amusement for the neighbors, tyho livd in that community. It seems that Daniel and his wife have fallen out over some trivial matter and last evening Dan was interviewing the police to ascertain in what manner he could recover the bedclothes and furniture that he had provided for the house. The police advised him to return home, be good, and take care of his family. Whether he followed their advise or hot we are unable to say.

James Freeman, the Geneva young oil worker who accidentally shot himself last Wednesday, carried a policy Os $2,000 in the Woodman’s lodge. The district deputy, who is employed in this city, was in Geneva yesterday arranging to settle the policy in full. —Bluffton News. A horrible accident was averted on the Clover Leaf railroad near Edwardsville, west of Charlestown, when a father dropped two little children from a high trestle to keep them from being run down by a fast passenger train, and then lowered himself to safety as the train sped by over his head. One of the children sustained a broken arm by the fall, while the other landed in a clump of bushes and was unhurt.—Frankfort Crescent.

The company is composed of clean artists, who arc all stars and those who saw the performance last evening were more thau pleased with the same. Remember, the same show again tonight.

Although Thanksgiving is still two months away a great many are looking forward to the national holiday with fond anticipation. Imagine a Thanksgiving dinner without turkey Unless there is a decided change in the situation as it now appears many who heretofore have eaten turkey on Thanksgiving will be compelled to forego that pleasue this year. The big bird is making itself scarce this year and may be numbered among the missing when the national holiday arrives. The reason for the scarcity of the fowl is that the cold damp weather ,of the spring was greatly against their hatching and raising. Rem Johnson, of Ossian, the author of several good short stories and at one time editor of the Red Book magazine, has a story in the October issue of the Red Book that is probably one of the best he has ever written j and which is attracting widespread attention. The story is that of a banking clerk with plenty of money ( who did not believe that every man was not beyond accepting his price. at some time, if the price were offer- | ed. It is highly interesting, cleverly told and well managed. The story is handled in fine style and the description of the change in the inner life of the man is extremely well done. — Bluffton News.

The Clover Leaf railroad company has been making arrangements for some time for the installing of a side track east of Craigville for the benefit of Dave Gottschalk, who is building stone roads in Preble township, Adams county. He buys his stone from quarries along the railroads, and the railroad company hauls it for him. The Installing of the side track will enable him to have the stone delivered close to the scene of road building and will mean a big saving to him in hauling. Joe Herbst was at Craigville a few days ago locating the new switch. The Clover Leaf, of course, reaps a benefit in the collection of freight charges.—Bluffton News.

At a meeting of the 1-0 league in Indianapolis, the pennant was formally awarded to Decatur. The club is one of the fastest minor organizations in the country and came out on top only after a bruising contest. Behringer an<> Burns, former Frankfort players, were members of the team. — Frankfort Crescent.

The big furniture sale still continues at Gay and Zwick’s and they are daily sending out wagon load after wagon load of household goods. This is the first furniture sale of this kind ever carried on in Decatur and the people seem to want to take advantage of the same. A complete outfit was taken to a new home in the north part of the city yesterday by this firm, which looks very much as if a wedding would be in order shortly. Finding that the Chicago and Erie railroad company had made a defense in Illinois to the best of its ability in a garnishee case brought against an Erie trainman, Fred A. White, on a case brought in a justice’s court, Judge Cook this morning announced his conclusions of law and findings of facts in favor of the railroad company in the case of Fred A. White vs. Chicago and Erie railroad company. The case is one of considerable importance to railroad people and may be taken to the state supreme lourt as a test case, the B. of R. T. and other railroad orders backing White in the case for test purposes—Huntington Herald. The granting of immunity to the Chicago and Alton railroad for paying rebates to the Standard Oil company, by Judge Landis, removes the only obstacle in the way of ratification of the sale by the Rock Island railroad of a controlling interest in the Alton to the Toledo, St. Louis and Western, or Clover Leaf railroad, and the consolidation ultimately of the Alton, Clover Leaf, Minneapolis and St. Louis and lowa Central railroads. As soon as the necessary financial details are adjusted a re-organization of the four roads will be effected, but the independent organization of each may be maintained for some time, and the combination deferred until it is certain that no legal complications will result.

Judge Joseph Leffler,of the Delaware county courts, has established a rule which wocld stop a large number of divorces if taken up elsewhere divorces if taken up by Judge Cook. He has stated that be will grant no more divorces to women who claim their husbands are habitual drunkards, but who knew this when they were married. Many girls and women who marry men with the expressed determination of "redeeming them would be discouraged if the rule prevailed. The Delaware county judge made the decision in a case where a woman averred that her husband was a habitual drunkard. She easily proved this but, upon the witness stand, she admitted that she knew the fact before she was married.

County commissioner Martin Laughlin, of Geneva, arrived in the city this morning as the board of cimmissioners have some bonds to sign. The Electric theater was well attended last night and the many people who saw their show declare that it is the best ever. The same show will be on tonight and you cannot afford to miss it. The invoice aa the Hub store has not been completed yet and it is possible that they will not get through this week. The task was larger than any one had anticipated and is a slow and tedious undertaking. They are making progress as fast as possible and will open as soon as the work is finished. Since the American league race has become so close and exciting the score is being received at the Corbett cigar store, and that place is packed to its capacity in the evenings by those interested. If you desire an argument just go in and say that you believe Chicago or Cleveland will win the pennant and see for yourself what happens. The American league race now seems to be between Detroit and Philadelphia.

The recent cold snap still continues to stay with us and the coal men are being pushed to the limit by patrons who want coal and want it quickly. A number of citizens were fortunate and had their coal put in early in the summer and are now able to sit around a warm coal fire. Barney Oldfield, the noted auto racer, has arrived in, Fort Wayne with his racing car. Ollie Savin whose car is also in Fort Wayne, will race with Oldfield. Local autoists will also participate in the races, which will be conducted Saturday afternoon at the Fort Wayne Driving Park.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel. It seems that there must be some mistake in regard to the report circulated that the two men dismissed from the Erie machine shop Tuesday were agents of the union who were sent there to acquaint themselves with the condition of affairs regarding the strike. It is true that the union at times sends men into shops where they hope to gain information but the two men discharged Tuesday were not servants of the union and they have never held a card from the machinists’ union.

W. H. Pletcher, formerly agent, of the Clover Leaf railroad company in this city and later general passenger and freight agent of the M. B. and E. traction company, has accepted a fine position once more with the Clover Leaf. He is now employed as relief agent for that company and receives a regular salary of $75 per month, whether he is at work or is at home waiting for a call to some point where he may be needed. His first position was to go to Decatur to relieve the agent there while he took a two weeks’ vacation. —Bluffton News. President Kling, of the Indiana-Ohio league, informed the managers of the six teams at Indianapolis last Monday that another meeting to prepare for the 1908 season would be held in that city some time during December. A president and secretary will be elected and there is little doubt but that Kling, who is again a candidate for the chief position, will be deposed as his work in that capacity has been anything but satisfactory this season. It will also be decided at the December meeting whether the circuit next year will consist only of the original six teams or Muncie and Marion admitted. —Bluffton Banner.
