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.
A number of Decatur people took in the show at Fort Wayne last night. Mrs. Herb Majors and children went to Monroe yesterday afternoon to visit her parents. Mrs. Pickette, of Berne, was a visitor in our city yesterday and has returned to her home. Miss Ruby Artman went to Fort Wayne yesterday, where she will visit for a few days with friends. James L. Gay left last evening for Shoals, Ind., where he will visit for several days with his father, Andrew Gay. H. M. DeVoss expects to leave next Monday for Houston, Texas, where he will visit with his brother, Arlie DeVoss, for a few weeks. John Lose, the barber, is nursing a pet in the shape of a boil on the back of his neck. John says it is worth ten dollars and that he is willing to part with it for that amount. The Allen county commissioners decided Wednesday that their court has no jurisdiction in the Fast, or Little River ditch case and. the case must now go to the circuit court. The end of the case is not in sight and the costs mount up to something like $12,000 already. William Farr, the 10-year-old son of William Farr, a carpenter of Bluffton, died at his home Thursday from injuries received a week ago from a Clover Leaf freigh train. While crossing the track of the road he was knocked down by a freight car and one arm was cut off at the shoulder. Some miscreants Thursday evening eiher for a joke or with malicious intent carried away umbrelas from the home of Mat Kirsch to the value of ten dollars. Mr. Kirsch would not mind the loss so much if it was his own, but the entire outfit belonged to visitors and he will be compelled to stand the loss. This is ceretainly carrying a joke too far. Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Reed, “just married,” arrived in the city last evening and were guests at the Reynolds Hotel for the night, they being enroute to eastern points ofi their wedding trip. Mrs. Reed was formerly Miss Bertha Fullenkamp, of Decatur, and is well known in this city, having made various acquaintances while spending her summer vacations at Rome City with the Bachelor Maids club.

An over timid boy in the Woterford schools having violated one of the teachers rules, and fearing corporal punishment, took the precaution to pin a paper on his pants on which was written, “No trespassing on these grounds.” George Bruhn, head porter at the Murray Hotel, has resigned his position and left this afternoon for Fort Wayne, where he will take up the duties of night clerk at the Berry Case. While here George made numerous friends, who wish him unlimited success in his new quarters.
No longer are telephone, telegraph, electric light and traction companies of Indiana empowered to cause the ruthless destruction of shade trees in order to string their wires. The appellate court of Indiana holds that trees cannot be trimmed by companies doing overhead construction work without the consent of the owners. Announcement is made that, beginning December 1, all railroads within the territory of the Western Passenger association will sell mileage books to “bearer” and interchangeable on all lines at 2 cents a mile. Up to this time the 2-cent sale on mileage books has been limited to use of the person named on them and to the road issuing them. The decrease of 18,000 in the num'ber of pensioners on the rolls at the end of the fiscal year 1907 as compared with the year previous, is the feature of the annual report of Pension Commissioner Warner. This is the greatest decrease in the history of the pension bureau. The number of pensioners on June 30, 1907, was 967.371 and the value of the pension roll $140,850,'BBO. Ike Nelson, a young man who was out celebrating Hallow’een had a very narrow escape from death, as he was the struck along the side of the head by a stray bullet that clipped off his hair and left a small furrow in the scalp. Young Nelson does not understand how the accident happened or who fired the shot, but he does know that he had a very narrow escape. The injury is slight and he is showing no ill effects of the same today. Several of the large wholesale houses in Chicago and other cities have instructed their representatives and collectors that they must have currency in payment for their goods instead of checks. This is done for the reason that in many cities bankers will only honor checks to the amount of $25 or SSO per day on any one account. Should the check be more than that amount the bankers would issue a draft or check of deposit for the balance.
Judge E. C. Vaughn and Attorney John Burns were in Indianapolis Thursday to consult with an attorney jvith the Lake Erie in regard to the claim for damages against the railroad company by Robert GueSeman because of the death of his wife and two children, who were killed a few months ago by a Lake Erie train. The railroad company’s attorneys made an offer in settlement, but not enough to satisfy the claim and suit in court will likely be filed in which there will be demand for s2o,ooo.—Bluffton News.
The Packard Music House of Decatur Is a salesroom, selling direct from the Packard factory at Ft. Wayne, to the consumer. We are in position to sell you a better piano or organ for less money than the small dealer, who buys one or two instruments at a time. Besides lh instrument you buy of us, has the Packard factory back of it, and your banker will tell you that x on better guarantee is needed, because the Packard factory has been turning out satisfactory instruments for nearly half a century, and hardly any neighborhood can be found but that the Packard Music House has a number of pleased customers, all of whom will recommend the Packard instruments. ; _■ __ L.

France left today for Chicago, where she will visit for a week with her parents. Mrs. Ray Hurte, of Geneva, has returned to her home after enjoying a short visit in the city. Mrs. Oscar Jones went to Monmouth this morning to make a short visit with friends and relatives. C. C. Schafer and Roy Archbold returned Thursday from Chicago where they were visiting with friends. Attorney Abe Simmons, of Bluffton, accmopanied by G. W. Cotton, of Elkhart, passed through the city yesterday enroute to Portland. The continuous rainfall today stopped many farmers from coming to town with their produce and in consequence thereof the local merchants suffered in the way of trade. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Johnson, of Oakland, Cal., arrived yesterday and are vijsiting with Mr. and Mrs. A. P„ Beatty. They left this morning for Convoy, Ohio, where they will visit with Mrs Elizabeth Beatty, who is seriously ill. The Electric theater was well attended last night in consideration of the fact that the weaher was bad and the subject of the show, The Maniac Juggler, was great to witness. A new show will be on tonight and every one should attend and get a treat for their money. J. B. Stoneburner entertained quite an audience at his shows last evening at the Pictorium, and those who attended were more than pleased with what they saw. An entire change of program tonight entitled The Three Chatterboxes, and The Boys’ House of Corrections. Do not fail to see these shows as they are interesting. The Rev. C. E. Luce, pastor of the east Main street Christian church at Portland has resigned his pastorate, because of too much pastoral work. He informed his congregation he believes his best work can be done from the pulpit. Owing to the way in which his congregation is constituted, he asserts he has had more work to do outside than in the pulpit. Uncle John Brock has offered a small reward for any informaion in relation to the parties who damaged some of his property last evening. Unquestionably some of the boys had not gotten over their Hallow’een celebration of the night before and continued their depredations last evening. Should Mr. Brock learn the true facts as to his own property prosecutions will follow.
One of the busiest places to be found about town these days is Poyneer factory in Reome block, where the Poyneer grain and seed separator is being manufactured by a small force of men. There are now thirty or forty machines finished and ready for delivery to purchasers. Mr. Poyneer states that he would like to establish a factory here which would furnish work for a considerable number of men. —Warren Tribune. A Chicago educator says the Bible isn’t fit for children.—Evchange. That Chicago editor has expressed more than he knew. The Bible as it is written, and without helps, is not fit for children. Neither is it fit for adults. The Chicago editor undertook to read his Bible just as a man will drink adcohol. He neglected to adulterate the fluid and the result was it took the skin off of his throat. We might say that the study of Greek or Latin is not intended for children and the saying would bet rue, but how they enjoy it when it is their privilege to have the books simplified. The Bible is too deep for the Chicago editor.

Work will begin at once and will be completed without delay.
The local merchants still decline to quote any prices on grain or other produce at this time and their quotation slates are accordingly blank. However, the recent flurry is quieting down and the markets will no doubt be published again next week. The remains of Miss Harb arrived this morning from Missouri, and will lie in state at the Chronister home on Tenth street until tomorrow morning, when the funeral services will be conducted at the United Brethren church. Interment will be made in the Decatur cemetery. A committee appointed by the Elki; to secure a hall for lodge meetings has negotiated with Tangeman and Smith for the third floor of the opera house block, the old lodge hall of the Elks. The lodge will continue their present club quarters, but it affords no facilities for a hall for lodge meetings. Until the lodge gets a permanent home they will rent a hall. The lodge as a body will act tonight on the committee's action in negotiating for the opera house hall. The lodge will doubtless ratify the committee's work. —Bluffton News. The town of Warren is making another determined fight, aided by an anti-saloon worker who arrived there two weeks ago, to put the saloons out of business completely at that place. A remonstrance is in circulation and it is hoped by the temperance forces that enough names will be secured to it to defeat the application of Hiram Gill, who will ..ppear before the Hunt-1 ington county commissioners Mon- i day to ask for a renewal of his license. There are now five saloons , at Warren and the remonstrance be- I ing circulated is against the business as a whole and not against Gill or any other man individually and If sufficient names are secured it will knock out the saloon business at Warren completely for two years to come.
