To the credit of the press be it said that its attitude during the financial flurry in Wall street was praiseworthy and commendable. Even that class of papers which regards carping criticism to be its first duty manifested unusual discretion and rare good sense in speaking of the great shakeup. For once the newspaper fraternity seems to have realized that the country was facing a crisis and that it devolved upon every knight of the quill to put on its thinking cap. Had the press been less discreet, and unmindful of its duty to the public and to the general welfare, there is no telling what might have happened.— South Bend Times. Mr. Bryan says the money stringency will not last long, that the little touch of depression will be shortlived and that there is an abundance of cash in the countfy, due to enormous gold production, to keep prosperity up to high-water mark.

Bryan thinks so makes it neither more nor less so, but his opinion has value because than Mr. Bryan there is no closer student of events and conditions in the country.—Fort Wayne SentineL WAS MURDERED IN ARKANSAS. Ed Kennerk Formerly of Allen County the Victim. Attorney Harry F. Kennerk received word yesterday that his uncle, Edward Kennerk, for many years a prominent Allen county farmer, had been murdered in Clay county, Ark., by a tenant on his farm. The murder was committed last Tuesday and it seems strange that the notice to the local relatives was so long delayed. The message merely stated that Mr. Kennerk had had trouble with a tenant on his farm, four miles from Pigott, and the tenant shot and killed him. Mr. Kennerk telegraphed to the sheriff of Clay county last night, but Pigott is a small town and has no night telegraph office, so the message cannot be sent until today. He will leave as soon as he receives more definite information from Arkansas and will probably have the remains exhumed and brought home. Edward Kennerk was fifty-seven years of age and was born in Pleasant township. There he lived until about three years ago, when he went to Arkansas and purchased a farm. Recently he retired, selling his personal property and renting the farm. The deceased was a brother of William Kennerk. of Wayne township, and John Kennerk, of Marion township. There are four sisters —Mrs. Mary Beeler, of Perry, Iowa; Mrs. John Koons, of Ossian; Mrs. Hanna Glass, living east of Fort Wayne, and Mrs. Catherine Lakey, of Whallen. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o Try a Democrat "Went Ad.”

MEN AND WOMEN

To the man or woman so unfortunate as to have some chronic disease of any kind whatever: We cannot urge too strongly the gravity of the situation and the great importance of at once consulting an Honorable and Capable specialist. We emphasize honorable and capable for the reason that the newspapers contain advertisements of doctors posing as experts in the treatment of such disorders, some of whom would never be consulted by the intelligent cautious patient. If you desire honest advice and conscienious. thorough treatment, I invite you to calf and investigate my record in other cases of this kind. No matter what your trouble is, be it with your Stomach, Bowels, Liver, Blood, Nerves, or of any trouble peculiar to either sex, cail or write me, and I will promptly tell you whether or not you can be helped. My experience is your protection. My terms reasonable.

AT THE CHURCHES (Continued from page 1.) Rev. Oborn, the evangelist, in charge of the revival services at the M. E. church, has again demonstrated his ability along the line of work he pursues, by specializing another address with “The Best Job,” furnishing the theme upon which he talked for more than an hour. The spacious auditorium of the Methodist church was well filled with men, for whom the sermon was especially purported and the address that they heard was ample pay for the efforts they had made to be present. Rev. Oborn talked plainly on every phase of the subject he had outlined, and directed his speech to the, shortcomings and sins which are characteristic to men. The theme, “The Best Job," as construed by the evangelist, is to live a Christian life. “It pays physically, socially and financially,” said the speaker. Then he proceeded to support his theme by presenting plausible reasons why it is the best in each of the above mentioned cases. He said it is best physically for the reason that if a man is a true, devoted Christian he will abstain from the use of tobacco, liquor or anything that is injurious to his constitution, further he will not be out late at night gambling or with disreputable women and contract vile diseases. He went into detail upon this phase as well as the financial and social welfare of true Christians as compared with that of non-Christians and every person in the church was deeply interested and greatly benefitted by the discourse.

TO HOLD PEACE CONFERENCE. Statesmen from the Islands Will Soon Gather. Washington, Nov. 3. —The Central American Peace conference which will convene in 'Washington probably on Nov. 11, will draw to this city as delegates the leading statesmen and professional men of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador, as well as the ministers accredited to the United States from those countries. These men will assemble here to represent the hopes entertained in the various republics "that the conference may effectually end wars betwen themselves and revolutions within themselves. It is expected that the conference will continue for at least two weeks and it is likely that it ma?- run for a month or more. In preparation for the gathering the upper floor of the building occupied by the International Bureau of American Republics has been fitted out in elaborate style. In addition their regularly accredited ministers to the United States. Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador have sent two delegates each, while Costa Rica and Nicaragua have sent but one. Probabl?- the most picturesque figure who will be seen at the conference is Senor Policarpe Bonilla, a former president of Honduras. o PUBLIC STENOGRAPHER—For stenographic work and typewriting, call on Amelia Tonnelier at A.

COMPLETE SUCCESS — — Continued from _ awhants leaned toward 7° Decatur merchants will come out of the meeting as noth, ing but good feeling prevailed, and U now up to the Fort Wayne salesmen m take advantage of the opportunitv. The only interest the local railway line has in the matter is that of handling the freight which m the end would prove a big factor and would not only-mean much to the line, but also to the merchants as it means prompt delivery. Auui or Kellev. during the meeting, propounded some figures as to the relative working of the line and stated that in the past six weeks the line has increased its earnings in the way of handling freight to the extent of one hundred per cent and hoped that they might double this in the next six weeks. Before adjourning the Fort Wayne merchants extended a vote of thanks to President Fledderjohann and Mr. Kelley for making the meeting possible and suggested that the merchants should arrange a series of visits of this character, which has a tendency toward making the merchants of both cities come closer together in a business way and brings out closer relationship that should exist. The meeting was one of the best of its kind ever held in Decatur, and both cities were benefltted greatly by the event. The Fbrt Wayne party returned to their homes on the regular
