It will easily outclass and outdistance any former event by the noted Lafayette Jackson Club. They are a live set of Democratic boosters, molded over a late and fashionable model and will make this event the most historic of their existence. Democrats from all four corners of Indiana will greet the great Commoner and the Lafayette Democrats on the date mentioned. The unterrified of Adams county should wash their linen and arrange for a reserve seat at the banquet table. Arrangements are in progress for the sealing of seven hundred guests. Besides the banquet an oratorical feast —the best ever—with Hon. W. J. Bryan as the commanding figure, wdll b« enjoyed. Tom Railing won his game at Fort Wayne yesterday against Garrett by a score of two to one. Tom let the exleaguers down with four hits, three of which were very scratchy. This was the last game of the season and Tom had the opportunity of winning it.

WAS BURNED OUT Bob Peterson Suffers a Loss at Sherwood TOWN VISITED BY BIG BLAZE Loss is >20,000 —Mr. Peterson's Loss is $1,200 With Partial Insurance. Word has been received from Sherwood, Ohio, from Bob Peterson, who recently moved to that city where he is representing the Watkins' Medical company that their beautiful little city was visited by fire on last Friday and as a result he was burned out entirely. The fire started in a candy kitchen and soon spread rapidly into the adjoining buildings which were frame and before the flames were gotten under control seven business places were wiped out of existence with losses ranging from two hundred and fifty dollars to five thousand. The total loss being estimated at twenty thousand dollars. Mr. Peterson’s loss was on household goods, clothing and a stock of patent medicines which were valued at twelve hundred dollars and on which he carried but seven hundred insurance, thus making his actual loss five hundred dollars. Mr. Peterson had just become nicely settled in his new- home and was working up a nice business when this misfortune overtook him. Bob will still continue to reside in Sherwood and will at once move into new quarters and commence all over again. o THE VILLAGE KNOCKER. Under the spreading lemon tree The village knocker stands, The tree is never known to yield Aught but the sourest brands And unto all that come that way The fruit thereof he hands. And though his knocks be loud and long; As sour as sour can be He helps to boost the world along— A fact ’tis plain to see. Without him we would all go wrong. And be a fool like he. —Chicago Tribune.

IS A CHARMING LOVE STORY. Popular Romance Coming to Bosse's This Week. "As Told in the Hills” which will be seen at the Bosse Opera House Friday October 25 is one of the few plays produced this season that has met with deserved success from the first production. The charming love story which contributes largely to the success of the production is one of intense interest, made especially romantic through the conception of the two prominent characters, Pamnena and Little Fox an and girl,who have been adopted and reared by an emigrant and his wife returning from Texas after an unsuccessful attempt to better their lot in the West. Pamnena, the girl, is the daughter of Red Wolf, an Indiana Chief who was killed as acting protector for Mr. and Mrs. Howard, who afterwards adopted Pamnena and reared her as their own child. Under the influence of civilization, Pamnena grows to be a beautiful and accomplished young woman, as courageous and true as she is talented. Little Fox, the young Indiana brave,

who has had the same advantages falls deeply in love with her but refrains from expressing his devotion until he goes back to his own people and is able to return to Pamnena and can offer her a share in a fortune at least equal to her inheritance from her father. Little Fox's return furnishes one of the strong dramatic incidents of the play, for his entrance is just at the time when his sweetheart is being annoyed by the attentions of Jim Dexter, an example of the unprincipled villain, who cares more for the girl’s wealth than his own honor. The play is a type of the best American melodrama and ;does not depend on scenic or mechanical effects for its effects, relying on its dramatic merit and the ability of the excellent company for its success that has been unprecedented. o PUBLIC SALE.
