Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

The trim elegance of her shoes determines as much as any other detail of a woman’s apparel,her right to claim the distinction of being correctly and perfectly costumed. Grace of outline and general shapeliness of design must combine with feminine daintiness to make the faultless shoe for the properly gowned women. Light but firm construction is one of the chief requisites in anv shoe for women —the best FALL models except those intended for street wear tn stormy weather, being extremely light. To be modish this season a woman’s shoe must have the short vamp, the narrow toe the moderately high arch and heel and a sole that is light, flexible and closely trimmed. Come in o ud look over the fall styles at the

E. Woods made a business trip to Fort Wayne this morning. Martin Laughlin, of Geneva, came to the city yesterday to look after business affairs. Emil Franz, of Berne, was a business caller in our city yesterday, and has returned to his home. McClellen Tague is reported to be quite ill with dropsy at his home two miles south of Pleasant Mills. Contractor Tom Peterson is at present busily engaged in putting in a cement floor in the cellar at the City restaurant. Mr. Alexander, local manager of the Packard piano store, sold a S4OO instrument to Mr. Hull, of the Motor Car company yesterday. Miss Emma Kukelahan, of R. F. D. no three has accepted a position as clerk in the M. Fullenkamp store and she has begun her duties. Mrs. Frank Moore and children left Sunday for their new home at Lima, Ohio, after a pleasant visit here with Mrs. Moore's aunt, Mrs. W. W. Moats. O. M. Robinson and family, of Decatur, arrived here Saturday evening to call on friends. Mr. Robinson rewhile the family rem lined for a few days. —Berne Witness. From all icports the moving picture show at the Bosse Opera House was slightly on the rotten order. The pictures were blurred and dim and the spectators were afforded no amusement in looking at the same. Those who attended wei<e disappointed. The Baptist church of this city is undergoing some repairs. New glass will be installed in the windows, and a cement walk is being placed in front of the edifice, which adds greatly to the appearance of the same. A petition signed by a large number of property holders in the Meibers addition will be presented to the council tonight asking that the water line extension be run through that section of the city. The material is all on hand and all that would be needed would be the trench work. It is possible that the petition will be granted and ordered constructed at once. Ralph Strow, the genial mall carrier took an ugly tumble Saturday night at his home and in consequence resembles a puglist who had taken the count. His injuries were caused by a tumble down a cellar way when he missed his footing and plunged head first down to the bottom of the flight. He had one finger dislocated and three patches of skin were torn from the left side of his fact—Bluffton News.

Mr. and Mrs. James Davis and daughter, of Portland, are in our city visiting with friends. James Bain is acting in the capacity of clerk in the Monroe street meat mafrket during the absence of Ohe regular clerk. A number of foreogn stock men from all over the country were present today at the J. D. Nidllnger and Son hog sale. The street sweeper was out bright and early this morning cleaning the streets and they presented a very meat appearance. T. R. Moore, the Standard Oil man is still confined to his home suffering from an attack of rheumatism. His condition however is somewhat improved. A large crowd visited the city yesterday from every section of the county, this being brought about by it being the last day to pay taxes before a penalty is attached. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Metz, of Bluffton, passed through the city today enroute to Portland, where they will remain for some time as the guests of filends and relatives. Prosecutor Emshwillen is at Portland, called there by the Frank Cotton case. Cotton who was convicted of perjury in the Jay circuit court several days ago, and Mr. Emshwiller.who prosecuted him. is fighting the application. —Hartford City News. With the supply of gas giving out unexpectedly a number of citizens were hurrying around his morning looking for wood and coal. It may take a week to mend the line and those without a supply of material to burn on hand will suffer the most. It is rumored that another petition for a brick street will be presented to the council this evening for their consideration. The petitioners ask that the council during the winter make all preliminary steps up to the letting of the contract and that the same be let in the spring when the weather settles. Julius Haugk has secured the service of- fifteen colored street men to lay the brick when they arrive on Seventh street. These men whom he has secured are experienced street men and will push the work as rapidly as possible. Mr. Haugk was unable to secure amy competent help in this line in Decatur and was forced to go to other fields for the same. The police desire in this manner to serve notice on the small girls and boys who have in the past been making a practice of roller skating on the cement sidewalks, that it must cease. Last evening several little tots skating ran into a baby cab and upset the same and in many ways have become a nuisance. Numerous complaints have been registered and the practice must cease. A woid to the wise is sufficient.

Erie train third 52 under charge of Conductor Hullinger, engine 1768, inn off the track while entering the 'siding at Spencerville Sunday afternoon. The train was moving at a fair rate of speed and on leaving the track three of the cars were derailed and thrown crosswise of the back. The rails were bent and torn loose, for more than one hundred feet. No reason is given for the accident as the track was thought to be in good condition at that point.—Huntington Democrat. Reports received from sixty counties of Indiana by the Indiana Bureau of Statistics, indicate that the yield of oats in Indiana this year was far behind the yield of 1906. The yield this year in sixty counties that have report was 3,3.71,493 bushels. The ■yield for all counties in 190 was 49,727.776 bushels. To reach the yoeld of 1906, the yield of forty-six counties should reach the production shown bysixty counties. The average yield an acre based on the reports from sixty counties is 20.07 bushels. The present week w-11l be a strenuous one for the several committees in charge of he Fall Festival. Lots of hard work has been done, but the bulk remains to be done this week. Half a hundred booths have to be built and stocked and decorated. An elaborate scheme of lighting and decorating has been carefully worked out. The national colors, the lodge colors, Japanese lanterns, bunting and colored lights form the basis of the scheme and the beautiful decorations alone will be worth- the p:>oce of admission. —Bluffton Banner.

S. S. Bartlett, of Huntington, was attending to insurance matters in our city today. Fred Reppert returned this morning from Union City, where he auctioneered a Duroc hog sale yesterday. Coon hunting is the fad in Decatur at present. Every night men can be seen starting out after these animals. A large number of people attended the big sale at J. D. Nidlinger’s today and it was most successful in every particular. A number of Dbcatur people drove to Berne today to attend the funeral of Ed Rice. The remains were brought to this city for interment. Meyer, Presdorf and Moses the up to date furniture dealers of the city, have sent a second shipment of furniture to parties in South Dakota. Mrs. Charles Elzie returned to her home in Decatur last evening. Mrs. Harvey Elzie, who is ill with typhoid fever, is a little better. —Bluffton Banner. W. G. Spencer has received the contract to do the electric wiring at the Moser building formerly occupied by the Keller Incubator company. The building is to be overhauled in many respects and when completed, will puesent a pleasing appearance. L. M. Mercer, foreman of the Kokomo News, stopped off in this city last evening while enroute home from a visit with his father at Hartford City. He formerly was with the Decatur Journal, dutdng that paper’s days as a daily.—Bluffton News. See the child wonder, Master Robert St. Clair, the boy soprano, with The Elite Players at the Opera House. A number of Decatur theater goers left last evening for Fort Wayne, where they attended the production of Brewster’s Millions at the Majestic theater. Mr. and Mrs. Lew Ellingham and children and Miss Mattie Sutilef, of Decatur, and Mr. and Mrs. John C. Augsbunger, Mr. anu Mrs. Jeff Augsburger, the Misses Bessie and Laura Habegger, Mrs. Mary Geiger, and were visitors at Mrs. Mary Bracken’s in French township Sunday.—Berne Witness. George or “Scotty” McDowell was in the county jail for about two hours Sunday afternoon, but was finally bailed out by his father as soon as the latter learned of his new place of abode. “Scotty” was taken up on a couple of old committments for unpaid fines, which were imposed some time ago for gambling. He unwisely walked past the jail and Sheriff Lipkey walked out and invited him in for a call. —Bluffton News.

The temperance people in Kosciusko county have won out, and in ten months there will not be a saloon in the entire county. Thereafter, before a fellow can get any hot stuff, he'll be obliged to get a prescription from a physician and have it filled at a drug store. The list of ailments which call for distilled rye is not set out in the law books, so that anything from toothache to cold feet will no doubt justify a physician in issuing a “prescription” to a fellowman in distress. Blank forms calling for anti-toxin have been placed in the hands of the township trustees, and health officers. When a physician needs anti-toxin and the family is not able to buy it I e obtains one of these blank forms from the trustee of health officer and fills it out presents it to a druggist. The statement made by the physician on the blank form is in effect a claim against the town, city or county. The druggist retains this statement and presents it for payment. If the patient supplied with anti-toxin lives outside a town or city the claim is paid by the county. On Sunday was anti-saloon day in Berne, in which Rev. E. S. Shoemaker, superintendent of th? Ant'-Saloon League, of Indiana, addressed three audiences in town, in the forenoon at the Evangelical church, in the afternoon the Sunday school at the Mennonite church and in the evening at the latter church. Dr. Shoemaker presented the grast w-ork of the League in a; masterful way from its inception at Oberlin, Ohio, until now it has become the mightiest force for the banaishment of the saloon in America. A liberal subscription was taken in both churches for the wo-k. —Berne Witness. Some one with a distorted sense of humor, but who probably looks upon himself as a smooth practical joker, placed a “phony” dynamite bomb at the back door of Fred W agner s saloon. 1723 east Wayne street, and caused Wagner and other persons a bad scare yesterday morning when the supposed infernal machine was discovered. The bomb consisting of an old paper tube which had once contained dynamite was filled with wet sand and it had attached to it the shell of an old cap and a fuse of string, which had been set afire. The “bomb” was turned over to Officer Kelly, who took it to police headquarters. —Journal-Gazette.

DECISION ON LIQUOR QUESTION Supreme Court Hands Down Another One. The Supreme Court of Indiana has made a decision that is of great interest at this time to either buyers or sellers of intoxicating liquor. The opinion handed down yesterday seems from syllabus given out, to some extent at least knock out the blind tiger law. Under the blind tiger law enacted by the last legislature, a wholesale dealer in intoxicants was prohibited from selling liquor, either beer or whiskey, to any person not holding a license to sell intoxicating liquor in less quantities than a quart, under the act, the selling of a case of beer to any person not a dealer, was illegal. The opinion of the court, just rendered, accords the right to the brewery or wholesaler to sell intoxicants in quantities of not less than five gallons at a time. The case under consideration was that of the Terre Haute Brewing company vs. the State of Indiana, appealed from the Owen circuit court and the syllabus of the opinion reversing the judgment of the lower court, which was against the appellant, is as follows; Where the sale of intoxicating liquor is made by a wholesaler in a quantity of not Jess than five gallons it is not made unlawful by reason of the purchaser not being a retail dealer, whether he is another wholesaler, a jobber or a consumer. (2) In the absence of any charge that illegal, immoral or other improper acts were committed in a place where intoxicating liquors were sold, an allegation that the place was kept “for” certain illegal and improper pui-poses did not constitute a charge that it was so kept as to constitute a nuisance. (3) Allegation byway of mere recital can not have any effect as charging a public offense.

John Edwards, the veteran painter, who has ben doing some frescoing work at the Murray hotel, has practically completed his work and the inside of the hotel presents a very pleasing appearance. The local merchants dealing in grain still continue to hold back the market prices and will not at present quote anything. The recent upheaval has caused them to lay still for awhile although they expect to start in shortly in the same old way. The elections in several of the states in the east are attracting considerable interest in this city and several wagers have been made on the results. The chief interest is on the fight at Cleveland between Johnson and Burton. Here Johnson seems to be the favorite. Gay and Zwick have practically completed all the improvements at their mammoth furniture store and the same is now one of the finest arranged stores in the state. They will make an announcement through the issues of this paper in the near future so watch for the same. From the tone of a letter received from St. Louis, Mo., James Pierce, our popular right fielier of last season may play next season in the Wisconsin league with Winnepeg. There is no question but that Jim would make them a valuable man and he han been highly recommended by local people. When the work of tamping the gravel under a mile of the interurban track is completed the line in so far as this season’s work is concerned, will be completed. Gravel has during the past summer been placed on the track the entirte 'distance and the riding on this line is now comfortable. The remains of Edward Rice, who died at Berne last Sunday, were laid to rest this afternoon in the Decatur cemetery. The funeral services were held this morning at Berne, and the funeral cortege at the close of the same started for this city arriving here about four o’clock. The remains were viewed by many of his Decatur friends at the cemetery. Local fight fans who have been figuring on attending the Gardner-Morgan go at Fort Wayne, will be sadly disappointed, as Gardner has refused to meet Morgan. What the next card will be has not als yet been announced by the promoters of that city. From all appearances it would seem that Gardner showed the yellow streak. NOTICE.
