J. H. HELLER, Manager. MR. BRYAN’S VIEWS Mr. Bryan takes a conservative view of the financial troubles, and predicts that the present stringencywill be of short duration. He attributes the trouble to crookedness in' the management of some of the large corporations, the misappropriation of funds, the wholesale use of corruption in securing franchises and in defeating needed legislation, resulting in a shrinkage of stock valuations and leading to runs on banks which have been “kiting" the securities of these corporations. He says that the conditions are quite different from what they were in 1893, when the country was suffering from falling prices and rising dollars, instead of rising prices and falling dollars, as has been the case for ten years past, and there is no reason to fear a widespread panic. He cautions the more timid depositors against the folly of withdrawing their money from tbe banks, thereby embarrassing these institutions and contracting the volume of loanable money. Mr. Bryan, in discussing needed financial legislation, favors the collection of a guarantee fund, from which all depositors would be paid in the event of a bank failure. When in congress Mr. Bryan tried to secure the passage of such a measure, but it was opposed by the larger banks on the ground that it would give the smaller banks all the advantages enjoyed by the larger ones. Mr. Bryan thinks that one of the good results

of the present depression will be to show the country the tolly of the asset currency proposition. This is a fitting time for Democrats everywhere to show their patriotism for their country and Its welfare. It may require considerable Christian grace, when you remember the attitude the Republican newspapers and speakers took in 1893, when a Democratic administration inherited a Republican panic. But every Democrat who has the best interests of his country at heart should do all in his power to stay the panic and restore an era of real, solid prosperity.—Lebanon Pioneer. After having spent his summer vasation in telling the country of the great work done by republican liberators in the time when he was “no spring chicken,” Uncle Joe Cannon is now preparing for his winter's work of suppressing the house of representatives. —St. Louis Republic. PREACHER FOOLED The Rev. D. B. Kessinger Was Married Last Wednesday. A FORMER PASTOR His Many Friends Here Are Already Congratulating Him. Rev. D. B. Kessinger, pastor of the United Brethren church at South

Bend, was married Wednesday evening to Miss Elizabeth Iden. of Bourbon.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. The above clipping will no doubt cause considerable surprise in this communty among Rev. Kessinger’s many friends, who in all probability were not aware of the fact that he was contemplating matrimony when he left this city a very few months ago for his new charge at South Bend. However the above speaks for itself and -we are unable at this time to give any explanation of the services, as the paper gave nothing in full. Rev. Kessinger for several years acted in the capacity of pastor at the United Brethren church in this city, and during that time he made a host of friends who wish him much joy and happiness in his married life. Mr. Kessinger left this city several months ago to assume charge of the United Brethren church in that city and although several letters have been received by his friends here since his absence, he never mentioned the fact of his approaching marriage. The Democrat joins with his many friends here in extending congratulations. o A goodly number of farmers were in town today and there was quite a hustle on the streets. The different factories of the city are running at full blast at present and they all have many orders ahead to be filled. December 3 and 4 a conference of all temperance organizations will be held in Indianapolis to devise some plan by which all may unite in a campaign against high license in Indiana. The strongest speakers available will be secured for the occasion. Judge Artman will deliver his famous address on the “Unconstitutionality of License,’’ D. eigh Colvin of New York, will speak for college men. Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, National president of the W. C. T. U., will probably speak for that organization and other speakers of national reputation will help to make this a notable gathering.

COURT HOUSE NEWS Effie M. Springer Seeks a Divorce from Her Husband. HUNTERS’ LICENSES Damage Suit Filed—November Term Begins Week from Monday. Attorney L. C. DeVoss has filed a divorce complaint wherein Effie M. Springer seeks a legal separation from John M. Springer. According to the complaint they were married May 2, 1895, and have four children, Ella, eleven years old. Villa, seven, Lena, five, and Selvoy, one year old. The defendant is charged with adultery, abuse, cruel and inhuman treatment, and abandonment. The plaintiff prays for a divorce, the custody of the children named and a judgment for SSOO. Peterson and Moran have filed a new case entitled Mark Burdge vs. John E. Jack. The complaint is for possession of real estate and damages the demand being for S3OO.

The clerk’s office is a busy place for hunters' licenses, fifteen being the number yesterday. This is a clean cut graft for the state, as the one dollar license fee goes to the state, no part of it being the property of the county. It is safe to say that one hundred license have been issued in this county during the past few weeks, and taking it the state over, a neat sum of money will be realized from this source. The November term of court will begin one week from Monday and then one week later Judge Richard K. Erwin will retire from the bench and Judge James T. Merryman will succeed thereto. This important period in the life of the twenty-sixth judicial circuit will be the occasion of a banquet given by the Adams county bar association. THEBRICKJSHERE Seventh Street Improvement Will Now Be Pushed to Completion. WILL BE GOOD STREET Metropolitan Block Being Used in the Improvement. The brick for the Seventh steret im-

provement arrived this morning and are at presen t being distributed along the line of the Improvement. The brick are the best manufactured for street use at this time, being Metropolitan, and when the street is completed the property owners will more than be satisfied. Mr. Haugk has secured a force of fifteen expert negro workmen from Marion, Ind., who will take up the work as soon a sthe brick have been distributed and push the work rapidly to completion. Mr. Haugk is confident that he can complete the work within the time required by the council and will have the same ready for acceptance by De’cember 1. Mr. Haugk was forced to secure these colored laborers owing to the scarcity of labor in this city. o Merchants who place goods oittside their stores are creating a habit of unconscious theft among the school boys, especially the grocers, who do not keep their baskets covered up. Almost any day when the children come and go from school, they can be seen to deftly swipe something from the outside stands, just because it Is handy and they think they are not observed. One man saw his younster turn the trick and he tanned him to a standstill. The grocers are to blame, in his opinion, as much as the children, for having the opportunity thrust in their way. Several of the candidates who aspire for county offices were today making a vigorous canvass of the farmers who were in town. Just received a car load of Portland cement. Will sell it for SI.BO per barrel. My last car load this season. Julius Haugk. TRY DEMOCRAT WANT ADS.

IT’S A CRACKERJACK “Too Proud to> Beg” at the Boese Opera House. A story new in treatment, novel in situations and stirring in climaxes, is embodied in Lincoln J. Carter’s laeest melodramatic surprise, "Too Proud to Beg” which will shortly be at the Bosse Opera House, WednesdayNov. 13. There are no mechanical effects but Mr. Carter has relied solely upon the players ability to portray and clearly define the dramatic action, deep heart interest and explosive bits of laughter that ebb and flow throughout. The author ha's shown in this play that mechanical ingenuity is not all that draws the lovers of the melodrama to the theater, and he has given much time, attention and regard to detail in t he solely dramatic action, climaxes and situations that follow one another in rapid succession throughout the story. Interest is never on the wane* but on the other hand, the audience is kept interested and eagerly digest every detail of the drama. A wealth of beautiful scenery is carried to complete the success of the piece. NOLEMONSWILL GO Governor’s Week at Bluffton Begins Next Monday. TO BE A BIG EVENT Large Delegation Will Accompany Judge Erwin.

Bluffton, Ind., Nov. 9.—Four candidates for governor of Indiana will be in Bluffton next week to attend the big Elks’ festival, to be held all week in the new King piano factory building. A message was received last night from Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, Republican candidate to the effect that he would be here Tuesday. James E. Watson, another Republican candidate will also be here, on Wednesday night. Dick Erwin, of Decatur candidate on the Democratic ticket, will be here Thursday night, heading a Decatur delegation, w’hile Congressman Adair, another Democratic candidate, will be here on the same night. The delegation that will go with Judge Erwin will be the livliest bunch that ever traveled out of Decatur, and they will make those other gubernatorial candidate look cheap at thirty cents. While this occasion will not fespecia'lly be used to manufacture political thunder, yet the Decatur delegation will permit no high uuting opponent to run in any innocent looking ringer or hand out any lemons for later mastication. The turkey intended for Thanksgiving dinner should be fed for a few days on a morning meal composed of corn meal or bran mixed with □oiled apples, roots, or potatoes, and an evening meal of whole corn. After that it will bes ready for a special fattening ration. One composed of three feeds per day of corn meal and boiled potatoes, with an evening meal of wheat, whole corn or buckwheat, will round him into shape. Three weeks’ feeding of the latter ration will be plenty for a bird in good condition. REALESTATE Heal is the Best and safest investment City Property and Farms for Sale.
