WEATHER. Rain Wednesday and Thursday; fresh to brisk east winds. The condition of David Laman is about the same as it has been. Charles N. Christen made business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. S. S. Bartlett, of Huntington, was attending to insurance matters in our city today. Charles Adlesperger arrived last evening from Cleveland, 0., and is the guest of his mother.

. Dick Stahl, of Monroe, was a business caller to our city today. 1 A. B. Bailey, of Monroe, was a business caller to our dty today. W. J. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, was attending to banking matters in our city today. T. R. Moore, the representative of the Standard Oil company, is laid up at his home suffering from a very acute attack of rheumatism. The interurban line ran a special car out today to convey some of the stockholders to the gravel pit and over a portion of the line. While the wedding services were bei ing carried out this morning at the Catholic church a dog caused considerable excitement by leaping from the gallery to the ground floor. Several spectators were frightened but none injured. The Electric theater people have a new film for tonight's entertainment that is far above the average that are shown in the city and they deserve a liberal patronage from the public. A new show is put on every night at this place of amusement. Mrs. C. J. Weaver went to Huntington this morning where she will attend a Ben Hur spectacular initia- : tion tonight at that place. Mrs. J. Smith will also attend this event and from all indications a most enjoyable time will be had. Tom Peterson, the contractor, who ■ recently secured the contract to put In the cement sidewalk on the north side of the court house, will complete the same by this evening. The con--1 tract has ben a fair sized one and is being put in according to overseer Titus Ernst. J. B. Stoneburner present a new show this evening at the Pictorium entitled the Masquerade Party. This film is a comic one and will make you laugh and grow fat. Don’t fail to see it, as you may thus be able to draw some ideas as to how to dress on Hallow'een night. If you have anything of value laying around your premises that you would desire to save, it is best to put the same in a safe place until Hallow’een is over. The boys during the past have been in the habit of appropriating everything to their own use that lays loose around the city and unless you want to go on a still hunt for your gate, wheelbarrow or other store them away for a few days in a place you know will be safe.

IMITATION

Is the sincerest flattery. Why are so many manufacturers imitating Menzies’ Elk Skin shoes ? Why are they copying even the kind of thread used in these shoes? Ask yourself these questions and then you will buy the only genune Mensease Elk Skin shoes. I sell Mens’ at $3.00 Boys’ at $2.50

The street sweeper was out early this morning putting the streets Ln a presentable condition for the day. The sweeper certainly does its work in a proficient manner. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Carter of Pleasant Mills, went home Tuesday after visiting here since Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Newton Peters living west of Portland.—Portland Review. Three boys, the oldest being but 17, were picked up in Fort Wayne Monday in a drunken stupor. They had purchased seven bottles of beer in a saloon and proceeded to put it all down, *with the result that they became very drunk. Such work as that is not calculated to reduce the present feeling against the saloon business. Editor E. P. Rucker, of the Elkhart Truth, was fined 3100 for contempt of court by Judge Dodge last Wednesday afternoon. A motion for a new trial was made but overruled. An appeal will be taken to a higher court. Editor Rucker published a statement in the Truth, which Judge Dodge considered a contempt of court, and the case is the result.

The Western Union operators of Ft. Wayne, who have been out for several days in the telegraphers’ strike, have announced their intention to go back to work at the old scale and on the former time schedule. Similar action is reported from many of the large offices of the country. It looks like the beginning of the end of the telegrapher’s strike Is in sight. The heating plant has been installed at the Murray hotel and is now in full running order. This plant is under the supervision of Tom Cloud who has had considerable experience in and around a hotel and who understands this kind of business thoroughly and he will undoubtedly care for the guests in an excellent style. The Fort Wayne Medical society has darned a committee to conduct an investigation Into the charge that members of the fraternity pay commissions regularly to physicians in surrounding cities and towns who bring them patients. It has been asserted that some of the outside physicians make big money out of the cases taken by them to Fort Wayne surgeons. It is also claimed that in this manner operations are frequently advised when not necessary. All the special agents for both the union and non-union companies who since the opening of the insurance war in Bluffton have remained here aiding the local agents, left for their homes or headquarters over Sunday and will not return to the city until the middle of the week. Consequently the battle is quiet but the silence is ominous and the struggle will break out afresh within a couple of days with renewed energy on both sides. —Bluffton Banner. After a bitter fight before the Huntington county board of commissioners the anti-saloon men of Jackson township have won and the township will be dry for two years. The battle has been going on since last May and both sides have exerted every effort to vin. The saloon men contended that the remonstrance was signed by men who were not legal voters in the township and hoped to have sufficient names thrown out to give the temperance people a minority but the commissioners decided against the saloons. The applicants were Charles L. Regadant and William Ross. One good result of the pure food law is the change in the matter of boxing and shipping oysters. Up to a short time ago oysters were shipped in wooden tubs or receptacles, and it is said formaldehyde was used as a preservative. This is all past now, however. The new shipping devices consist of two boxes, a box within a box. The oysters are in a tin box or bucket and this receptacle is placed within a wooden box with ice packed around it. Both are sealed by an inspector, giving the date of shipment. In this manner we in the wild and woolly west can now get fresh oysters the same as easterners.

The members of the City Bakery were giving their cellar a cleaning up today, hence the fact that so many boxes and barrels were bunched upon the sidewalk. The following letters remain uncalled for at the postoffice: Harry Cross, G. W. Douherty, Bailie Fox, John Mulhern, W. T. Moran, H. McAlhaney, Wm. C. Whitney, Wm. W. Shinn, Gurley Phillips. Med Miller, the painter, is the latest person to have seen the woman in black, he having encountered the aforesaid lady last evening, while returning home at a late hour. Med says he held no conversation with the lady, and didn’t care to. He is positive, however, that it was the lady in black, as she was dressed all in black and shied across the street when she saw him coming. The Knights of Pythias were granted their petition made to the grand lodge officers, asking for a change of date for their district meeting from January 16th to a date in December and December 11th was set as the new date. But the local lodge upon inquiry found that the grand opera house cannot be secured on that date and they will now probably ask that the date again be changed and the originl date of January 16th he the date of the meeting. The question will come up tomorrow night at regular meeting.—Bluffton News. Bulletin: Dallas Reed is to be married tomorrow. No flowers. So read a sign which Was posted in front of the old Van Antwerp grocery this afternoon. The employes of the Richelieu were quite busy today preparing to give their genial “Boss” a good send off and the result of their labors were seen in signs which greeted the passerby on every hand. In front of the Richelieu appeared a sign giving the entire history of his life from the time he enlisted as dish washer at North Manchester to his arrival at Huntington. The signs were read by many of the passersby today.—Huntington Democrat. The action of the Grant county commissioners in refusing Lawson Herman a license to sell intoxicating liquors in Fairmount, was sustained by Judge Paulus in the circuit court yesterday. After the commissioners refused him a license, Herman appealed to the circuit court, and continued to run his saloon. Several affidavits for selling liquor without a license were filed against him and are still pending. With the discontinuance of the Herman saloon. Fairmount township and town are dry. The remonstrance which knocked out Herman has expired, but a new one has been filed in its stead. Postal card faddists in this city would doubtless exercise more care in directing the variformed and many colored missives if they could see the large pile of cards which Is stacked up in the postoffice every day to be sent to the dead letter office. The average number of cards mailed in Decatur per day which fail to arrive I at their destination, or even to leave the local office on account of not complying with the mailing requirements is large. When it comes to a consideration of the misunderstandings and possible “fallings out” which might be caused by these tokens of affection and regard the outlook is decidedly gloomy, but the officers cannot help it. Marks Ollrie, the aged German Adams county resident, who was put in jail Saturday evening for intoxication and remained there over Sunday, did not wait for another quarter of a century to pass until he again visited the scene of his first incarceration twenty-six years ago, and upon being released yesterday morning he did not start for his home as he had ' promised but loaded up with booze and going to a residence on west Wabash street, where he has been rooming, last evening created a disturbance that soon landed him in the j hands of Office Lew Stout. After | spending the night in the jail the ■ German was taken before Mayor Ham- ■ ilton who told him to vamoose. —Bluffton Banner.

The high school orchestra is progressing nicely in its work and the boys are manifesting much interest in its behalf. Their work at the Rebekah hall last night was very complimentary. A communication from Linn Grove says that an automobile which left that place Saturday evening was seen some time later lying in the ditch between Linn Grove and Berne. The correspondent ascribes the accident to the fact that the automobilists had "visited” at the Corner Saloon before leaving Linn Grove. No names are mentioned. The open season for quail begins November 10, and already there is an increased demand from the local nimrods for hunters' licenses. These are, under the new law, issued by the clerk of the circuit court, and are required of every man who desires to hunt off his own farm. Every day, there are from one to adozen calls for these permits. The street parade, given by “The Flaming Arrow” company, attracted considerable attention, and was well worth looking at. The Indian band that accompanies this company is a good one, being composed of excellent musicians, and who play nothing but up to date stuff. If the parade is any criterion, the show should be all that has been said of it.
