WEATHER. Partly cloudy Friday, possibly rain by night; Saturday fair and cooler, fresh south shifting to northwest winds. Mrs. S. Peters will return this evening from a few days’ visit with her parents at Waterloo. Mrs. S. S. Acker, of Decatur, was in town the latter part of last week visiting her son Sam Acker and family.—Geneva Herald. A number of people from Berne and Geneva were in the city yesterday for the purpose of paying their taxes and returned to their homes yesterday afternoon. As a result of the demoralization of the company and lack of sufficient and capable officers, Adjutant General Perry has ordered that that Bluffton militia company be mustered out of service. It was company G. second regiment. Road supervisors all over the coun- / ty are busy preparing the pikes for the coming winter. In almost any direction you go from this city you will encounter fresh gravel, which has been hauled and dropped in the bad places in the roads. In each of the four townships there is a great deal of this work to be done and there will be more of it in the spring, after the thaw when the roads become almost impassable. 1

Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

It is no sign because the end of your shoe extends quite a distance beyond the end of your toe, that the shoe is too large for you. Because The whole fit of a shoe is from the ball to the heel. If the ball and heel of your foot>fit snugly into the places made for them in all Walk Over shoes, the size (or length) will take care of itself. Don’t wear too short a shoe or you'll have trouble. Let the salesman fit your foot. He knows how. There's no more reason why your toe should touch the end of your shoe than that your head should touch the top of your hat. We are willing to give you our time in fitting shoes.

The little boys enjoyed a great time last night doing everything characteristic to Hallow’een night, but little damage was done. Down in Florida an editor wrote up a marriage. He complimented the bride by saying: “she is fetching and vivacious,” but the intelligent compositor got it, “she is itching and vicious." Mrs. George Gentis, of Decatur, returned to her home Wednesday evening after visiting friends at Linn Grove. She was accompanied by Mrs. Henry Gentis and son, who will visit at Decatur.—Berne Witness. Several traveling men enjoyed themselves to the limit last evening by their good natured jcllyiag and had several large crowds following them around listening t o their remarks. They paraded the streets until ten o’clock then dispersed. The little son of Homer Cross was pretty badly jarred up and bruised yesterday by falling from a wagon. The little fellow suffered several severe scratches upon his face, his nose receiving the full benefit. None of the injuries received were serious. During the excitement and fun last evening some parties walked into Corbett’s cigar store, took out his Indian sign and carried it away and Tim was busily engaged all day tracing his wooden man. The parties who took the Indian did it as a joke, but Tim has commenced to think that it is a serious one. Stret Commissioner James Stults is busily engaged at present in cleaning out the manholes along the various brick streets. This is brought about by the fact that so many leaves and other rubbish is carried into them at rhis time of the year. Mr. Stults has tackled a job that will take him several days to complete. Vnder orders of Mayor Murphy Wabash policemen accompanied a gang of boys around the city Wednesday while the lads carefully washed show windows they had covered with soap during the night. The lads had begun the celebration of Hallow-een too early and the police rounded them up, and. rather than arrest them, had them taken before the mayor. The result was the unique spectacle of the police guarding sons of prominent residents while they busily scrubbed show windows they had mischievously decorated. Chief of Police Lines states that proceedings will be taken in other depredations.

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

IT MUST BE GOOD Treasury Officials Urge National Banks to Expand. MINTS ARE GRINDING An Effort to Increase the Volume of Currency. Washington, Nov. f.—A highly encouraging view of the financial situation is taken by Secretary Cortelyou and the other treasury officials associated with him in plans to relieve the money stringency. Many millions of dollars were deposited in the national depositary banks last week and now steps are being taken to encourage the increase of national bank circulation. Orders have been given to the United States mint to hasten the work of coinage so that as large a volume of currency as possible may be produced within the shortest possible time. Secretary Cortelyou was in conference today with Comptroller of the currency Ridgely, who at the close of conference gave out this statement: “The comptroller’s office will in every way facilitate the immediate increase of national bank note circulation. With this end in view, all such national banks as have government bonds in the hands of the treasurer of the United States to secure deposits and also have any available capacity for increased circulation will be allowed to substitute other bonds satisfactory to the secretary of the treasury as a basis for government deposits, provided the government bonds thus released are used to increase circulation. “This rule will apply not only where the bank transferring the bonds from the deposit account to the circulation account, takes out the additional circulating notes, but also where an arrangement can be made for any other national bank having capacity for increased circulation to take out the additional notes. “National banks are urged to take up this question immediately with the department by telegraph and take out he additional circulation as rapidly hs possible. The comptroller’s office will be glad to furnish whatever information is needed in regard to the circulation printed and on hand, and bonds available for this purpose.”
