Mrs. Mary L. Clark, of Fort Wayne, Deputy Supreme Chief of the Tribe of Ben Hur, was in the city last evening and visited the local tribe. The meeting was very interesting and business of importance transacted. A good joke is being told about town on a certain well-known young business man who dreamed that his wife had the itch the other night, and he crawled from under the covers of the bed and slept on top of them the entire night. The readers see fewer commas in newspaper work now than ever before. The printer’s rule is, we hold our breath as long as we can and then throw in a' comma, when we want to spit we put in a semi-colon; and when we take a chew of tobacco we stick in a period. If any of our readers are troubled with sleeplessness, try this remedy. On going to bed, rub the bottoms of you feet with the rind of a piece of bacon that now costs twenty-five cents a pound, place a twenty-dol'.ar gold piece under your pillow with the eagle side up, and take a teaspoonful of panic oil in a little sweetened water. Kalver and Son, the junk dealers, are again quoting their markets on furs and hides and will continue to do so in the future. This is the time of the year when the fur business comes in, and as they are in the market for this line of stuff they are quoting prices on the same. The Express Sculptor is the title of the new show to be given at the Pictorium this evening and is one of the best films ever shown in Decatur. The film is not only beautiful in its coloring but is instructive and interesting in every respect. Remember Mr. Stoneburner is securing nothing but the best attractions on the market and it will pay you to attend. Farmers in general report an abundance of rabbits but a scarcity of quail this fall, and as the hunting season soon opens, those who are nimrodically inclined, are beginning to examine their shotguns with a view to have a few days’ sport. Farmers all over the county, however, will endeavor to protect the game, by prosecuting. trespassers who do not secure the necessary written permits. Friday was an Indiana summer day after the weather was straightened out, and was as soft and balmy as one could wish. Friday in the opinion of. weather prophets, is always the fairest or foulest, and kept up its reputation today. The thermometer registered 55 degrees at noon and nobody had any fault to find. The farmers and everybody need just such weather until Thanksgiving to get their work completed before going into winter quarters. Friends here of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Byers, former residents of this place, residing now at Kenderbrook, Mich., were greatly grieved upon the receipt of the news last Tuesday announcing the death of their little four-month-old babe and only child, which occurred on Monday last at the home of Mrs. Byers’ parents in Indianapolis, where ’Mrs. Byer/ has been visiting for some some time and it is reported that the condition of Mrs. Byers is very critical. Mr. and Mrs. Byers have the sympathy of all friends here in their Hours of sorrw land grief.—Mnroeville Breeze.

The insurance war, the most talked question in Bluffton for a period of two weeks, is scarcely ever heard mentined now. The non-union and union agencies are plugging along at their old gait as before the battle and insurance Is being written according to the Dean schedule. The modification of several portions ol the city’s rating has not yet been taken up by the raters, as was promised the nonunion companies when they threw up the sponge but lnis be done wben the occasion arises to rewrite any of the buildings the new rate upon which was objected to.—Bluffton Banner.

Peters, will be held at the home of C. C. Cloud tor morrow afternoon at two o'clock. Mrs. A. T. Studebaker, of Bluffton, who has been the guest of her daughter, Mrs. L. L. Baumgartner for some time, returned to her home today. The sermon on the "Shorn of Strength” that is to be delivered by Rev. Oborn tomorrow afternoon, promises to be quite interesting and no doubt a large number of men will be present to hear it. Prof. Beachler stopped at Richmond while returning from the state educational meeting at Indianapolis, and is spending today with Leroy Beachler, who is attending Earlham college. He will return this evening. Deputy Sheriff Butler has a warrant for the arrest of Robert Durbin on a charge of neglecting his child. Mr. Butler expects to make the arrest some time today and Durbin will be forced to give bond for his appearance. Bismark, the glass eater, was picked up again early this morning by Deputy Sheriff Dallas Butler and was lodged in jail on a charge of public disorderly conduct. Bismark had his hearing immediately after dinner and was given the usual dose by Squire Smith. Being unable to pay Bismark went to jail. People ought to stay where they belong, says the Oklahoman. Look at the trouble caused by an editor who went to church. He came back and wrote: “Ladies should take off their hats in church. No preacher can inspire a man who is looking into a lopsided aggregation of dead birds stuffed weasels, chameleon silks, ribbons, beads, sticks, straws, corn tassels and thitle down. It makes the sinner feel lost in the wilderness.

A new show will be presented at the Electric thfeater entitled “Two Orphans” and “When the Cat’s Away.’’ The first subject is very pathetic and shows how two little chaps who were orphans finally were rewarded for their traits and taken into a good home. The second subject shows how the employes of a big manufacturer played while the boss was absent and the result when he returned and found how things were running. Both shows are excellent and deserve your patronage. A. L. Knapp this morning received a long distance call by telephone to the effect that the high officials of the Clover Leaf will be here on Monday night of next week for the opening night of the Fall Festival. They said that this was the only night they would be able to attend and this was perfectly satisfactory with the management of the festival. The officials will come in their special coach and Harry Webber, traveling passenger and freight agent, will be with the party. —Bluffton Banner. When a church is contemplating a revival the membership should have all their work out of the way, and if you would be thought well of. you should be present at every session, and sit in the front part of the church, and by so doing they will have prestige. When the occasion will warrant say A-men, and be sure to get wind enough behind it to say it loud. If you will do this it will remind you of throwing an oil barrel on a bon-fire, and from that very moment the meeting will take on new life. Try it and if it don’t work, we /will pay for the barrel. “The Elite Players ’ v ho will open a weeks’ engagement at the Opera House, November 18th, is reported to "be the best repertoire organization louring the central states.

At the monthly meeting yesterday of the Ministerial assiciation at Plymouth, a former resolution in relation to the marriage of divorced persons was re-affirmed and a decided stand w’as taken in support of the resolution. It was agreed where an applicant was unknown the question shall be asked whether either party had been previously married and divorced, and if so the minister will decline to marry them. At the regular meeting of the town council Tuesday evening, the town attorney was ordered to dismiss the suit which was filed several years ago to entend the corporate limits of the town so that it would include a large amount of outlying territory. The case would have come up to trial within the next few days and rather than bring the town to further expense it was decided to drop the suit. —Warren Tribune. Reports on the corn crop from sixtyfour counties in Indiana received by the Indiana bureau of statistics indicate that the total yield for 1907 will not be far from what it was in 1906. If there is any difference, the yield this year will be a little less, judging from the reports at hand. The average yield an acre as shown in the reports received is less than the average yield in 1906.
