The standing of a woman tis AFFECTED BY THE KIND OF SHOES SHE WEARS. POOR FITTING SHOES WON’T HARM HER CHARACTER. ALTHOUGH THEY MAY HURT HER FEELINGS. SHE MAY STAND WELL IN THE COMMUNITY BUT NOT WELL IN HER SHOES. IT WOULDN’T BE ANY FEAT TO MAKE COMFORTABLE SHOES IF THAT WAS ALL THAT WAS WANTED, BUT THE STYLE MUST BE RIGHT AS WELL. WE HAVE BAID IT BEFORE AND SAY IT AGAIN, THAT NO SHOES EXCELL “KRIPPENDORF3” IN fit and ORIGINAL STYLE. AND THEN THE PRICES ARE RIGHT. $3, 53.50, S 4 Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Speller

John Jellison, a well knoyn farmer discovered a few days ago for the first time that the sight of one eye had failed him and that he is almost complexly blind in it.

He consulted .physicians and found that a cataract was growing over the eye. An operation at the proper time may be decided upon and may give him relief. —Bluffton Banner. Packey McFarland and Abe Goodman went ten fast and furious rounds las. evening at the Princess Rink, at Fort Wayne, the decision going to Packey at the end thereof. The decision was a just one as McFarland did all the leading and forced the fight throughout and the gong saved Goodman on several occasions from a knockout that seemed to be near at hand. Two thousand people saw the contest and claim it was the best card ever put on at. the Summit City. The next scrap will be held some time in November. Dr. T. C. Dodds, the secretary of the city board of health, who is after the city for permitting the city building to be unsanitary and the sheriff for what he says are very bad conditions at the jail, .’ells the News that he did not give his orders to cle.n up ju.t for fun. He means what he says. He reiterates that the jail needs attention, that the floors are covered with tobacco spit, cigar subs and filth and that the ventilation is not fit for human kind. The mayor's office, he says, is just as objec.ionable, from a sanitary standpoint.—Hartford City News. A box car in tihe Clover Leaf yards was the cause of the traffic being suspended for almost aa hour this morning.

Noticed, haven’t you, that there is no “color” to the .autumn leaves this fall ? As a matter of fact, the change from green to a “sere and yellow brown” is marked. Peculiarconditions seem to have prevailed this fall, and there is small occasion to break into poetry over ;he matter. The usual tints have fled —the facts are the leaves are .dull. J. R. Prentiss, of Nebraska, a former resident of this city and county is in our city visting with friends. Mr. Prentiss has not visited Decatur for forty-one years and he says tha; he can see numerous changes in our city. In fact, he says the only thing he remembers that looks natural is the old St. Marys river.

One of the brown stallions owned by Frisinger and company that came with the recent shipment from Belgium died last evening from lung trouble. The horse had been ailing for several days, still the keepers did not think that it was serious until the big animrl got down and could not get up. Medical aid was summoned but all efforts to save the brute were powerless and last evening the animal died. The horse was valued at two thousand dollars. J. Fred Mayer, of the Sun, started on a long journey last night. He took the first degree in Odd Fellowship, but it seemed to him like he was traveling from Jerusalem to Jerico. The boys thought they were good to him, but as a matter of sac . Fred was “shook up" considerably. He likes the work, however, and now that he has started expects to reach the top. It’s all right. The top is none too good for any good citizen — and J. Fred is one of them. —Kendalville Sun. The Ft. Wayne Shamrocks closed their season Sunday and the Ft. Wayne News says that the team played to 75,000 people during the summer in a total of 33 games. Os this number the team won all but eight, and these eight were dropped principally to the teams of the OhioIndiana league. Most of the other I games of the Shamrocks were with jeasy amateurs and semi-professionals whom the Shamrocks took on for Sunday exhibitions and made the Fort Wayne fans, those who were not wise, believe that they were the phenoms of creation.

E. and W. attorneys.—Bluffton News.
