THE AVERAGE MAN Knows well what he wants When you say Walk-Over you might as well try to argue with an Egyptian mummy as to try to get him to change his mind. Because he knows absolutely and unqualifiedly that the WalkOver is the most comfortable men’s shoe in the world. He knows because he has good friends who tell him so, or more likely because he wears the Walk-Over and has had actual experience with its many superior merits. Tague Shoe Store ■J 1 ■■■':■ 1 n — .

GET WEDDED TO THE MODEL WITHOUT A MATE W. H. LINDSLEY
WEATHER. ' Fair, colder Monday; Tuesday fair, fresh northwest winds, becoming variable. Lase Ellis was out trying his hand at hunting today. James Willie, of Pleasant Mills, was a business caller to our city today. Miss Edna Crawford is on the sick list today suffering from a severe attack of tonsilitis. Miss Mary Schwartz left this morning for Fort Wayne to remain for a short time with relatives. Miss Emma Kuklehau, a clerk at the Fullenkamp store, attended the funeral of her uncle and aunt today. W. L. Plew, of Gary. Indiana, who was the guest of Fred Hoffman and family over Sunday, has returned to his home. Work is still progressing on the Seventh street improvement and Contractor Haugk is in hopes of completing the same before snow flies.
Work on the interlocking switch system at the junction of the three roads, is fast nearing completion and will soon be ready for use. The system is being put in for all three roads and is the latest and most improved device of its kind. The men are losing no time and are working day and night on the same so as to have it completed with the required time.

Because his conscience hurt him William Zeek, a laborer turned himself over to the Marion authorities Sunday and asked that he be taken to Upland, where he owes a board bill. Zeek claims he can see the Upland police before his eyes each night after retiring and that he can’t stand it any longer. Superintendent Mylott and force of men dre busily engaged today in setting in transformers and other effects necessary for turning the electric current into the Coppock Automobile works, and this evening fully expects to have everything in shape so that the current may be used should the management so desire. The Bluffton papers for the past several days have been giving considerable space concerning a proposed foot ball game between this city and that. The local reporters have been endeavoring to ascertain the true status of affairs, but up to this time can find no one who even proposed that a game be played. Guess it was a case of hot air. Matchmaker Knapp, of the St. Joe Athletic club, is now figuring on the December bout which will be pulled off under the auspices of the organization. Mr. Knapp is now in communication with several prominent fighters and it is probable that a good bout will be between Dick Hyland and Kid Goodman or Packy McFarland and Murphy. Mr. McFarland, it will be remembered, failed to get a chance at Murphy at Indianapolis recently owing to the latter’s illness. Either of the fights would be a warm one. — Fort Wayne News.
The better the grade The bigger the trade Thats why
Max Romberg left today on a business trip in the east. Ed Lyons left this afternoon on a business trip to Greensburg, Indiana. J. Habegger, of Berne, transacted business in the city today and has returned to his home. L. C. Mills, of Monroe, bought fiftyfour turkeys from Ira Waggoner today for the neat little sum of $96.84. The steam roller was in use today on the Seventh street improvement and the bed is being put in shape for the brick layers to begin work. Charles Railing has secured the contract of painting the Christian church both inside and out; and he will begin work on same in the near future. “Rasty” Witham received a telegram yesterday stating that his sister Florence had died last Friday. This was sad news to Mr. Witham, and inasmuch as the telegram had in some manner been delayed, he could not reach his home in time for the funeral. The Misses Anna Martin and Nona Forbing. of Decatur, Mrs. Clinton Johnson and baby of Huntsville, and Mr. George Maddy, of Decatur, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Ulmer. Mrs. Johnson will extend her visit for two or three weeks—Bluffton Banner. The German telephone company of Craigville is moving from the quarters it has formerly occupied to the house recently purchased from B. P. Jones. A second story has been added to the building and in many ways it has been improved into the most desirable office for the company.—Bluffton Banner. Benjamin Straub was granted a divorce and was awarded S9OO alimony in the circuit court at Warsaw. The court held that his wife must pay him S3OO in cash. S3OO in one year and S3OO in two years. The property is in Mrs. Straub’s name, but Judge Royse b,eld that the husband helped to accumulate it. The wedding at the Fall Festival will take place one evening this week The preliminary papers have been filled out by the prospective bride and groom, and they have given their word to be present on the night agreed upon, and Judge Sturgis is letter-perfect in the ceremony.—Bluffton Banner.
West bound passenger train No. 5 on the Clover Leaf, was about an hour and a half latp into Delphos Sunday evening. The trucks under a car of a freight train broke down at Copeland, near Toledo, and blocked traffic. It was necessary to detour No. 5 over the Wabash to Napoleon. —Delphos Herald. The hunting season is on, but instead of killing the few quails that are in this county at present, hunters should adopt some plan to aid in their preservation during the winter months, and in a year or two there will be plenty of them to hunt. If the few that are here are killed, in a year or two there w’ill be none to hunt. Court Reporter Homer Ormsby is confined to his home with the grip and Frank Chalfant is looking after his court work temporarily. Mr. Ormsby is secretary of the Fall Festival and his sickness is especially trying to him at this time as it makes it necessary for others on the com’mittee to look after the secretary’s work for him. It is hoped he can be out in a day or two. —Bluffton News. John Moore, employed at the Clover Leaf shops, was taken to the Palmer hospital Monday morning, after being hurt in the yards and at the time it was feared that he had sustained a broken thigh. He was at work moving a heavy drawbar when it slipped off the jacks and fell upon him. At the hospital it was learned by examination that the bone had not been broken, but the flesh was badly bruised and he will be compelled to remain at the hospital for several days — Frankfort Crescent. The secret of successful advertising is in understanding that an advertisement must have news value, or it will have no value of any kind. In other words the advertisement must be news as well as being a business proposition —otherwise it is of no use to anybody—not even to the publisher who is paid for printing it, because a useless advertisement which brings no business discredits the value of the newspaper space it occupies and as a result eventually does the newspaper more harm than good. The numerous burglaries reported from all parts of the state, which convince people that banks, after all, are the only safe places in which to keep money. The foolish timidity of those who rush to a bank to withdraw their money because the Wall street speculators have brought about a scarcity of currency in New York is an incentive to the enterprising burglar to get busy. By some means these crooks learn what people have withdrawn their money from banks and they venture forth in the night to find the hiding places.
IT IS NAMED “THE ANTHONY." Fort Wayne’s New Hertel Has Been Named. The board of directors of the new hotel, which must ever after be spoken of as “The Anthony” decided to call the hostelry by that name. After considering several names, it was decided at the last moment to give an historical name to the hotel, which will at once call attention, not only to the city, but to the noble figure in hisory of whom the name is commemorative, Anthony Wayne. The name of Anthony Wayne is written indelibly in the history of our country; written indelibly in the history of the city and it is a splendid tribute paid the memory of the dead hero, to build this beautiful monument in the shape of a hotel, which shall stand for years upon years, indicative of reverence for him. Manager Keenan, who will assume charge of the hotel when completed, will no doubt incorporate the name, “The Anthony” in all the appurtenances of the hotel, and it is expected that it will become famous, not only for its name, but for its cuisine appointments.—Fort Wayne Journal-Ga-zette. A special passenger train carrying bridge inspectors passed through here today on the G. R. and I. railroad. Mrs. J. Emrick. of Monroe, was the guest of friends in the city today and returned to her home this afternoon. Hon. M. M. Dunlap, of Anderson, at one time a congressional favorite in this district, was looking after either business or politics in this city this afternoon. A local foot ball team is being organized and the best material in Decatur will be selected for our eleven. The boys have several dates in view and they will make the surrounding towns go some to defeat them.
Ralph G. Causey, a well respected farmer who lived three miles east of Berne for the last twenty years or more, died last Sunday, November 10, 1907, of typhoid fever and a complication of other diseases, at the age of 60 years, 4 months and 23 days. His widow survives him without any children. One daughter they had died many years ago.—Berne Witness. 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 Ito 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. Among the feature vaudeville acts with the Elite Players will be seen Master Robert St. Clair, the wonderful boy soprano; Marie Freck, the singing soubrette; the St. Clairs, in their dharacter impersonations; Delmar Sherrard, the buck and wing dancer; W. P. Sheldon, the singing comedian and Sanford and Heald, the musical artists. Don’t miss this the best attraction of the season. Prices, 10. 20 and 30 cents. L. L. Baumgartner, of Decatur, and his brother E. H., of near Linn Grove, have purchased the Christian Christner farm two miles this side of Monroe. They get possession of the farm March Ist. Mr. Christner will hold a public sale on the 19th inst. He is not sure at this time as to what he will do but is considering a trip to the fatherland to visit his sisters whom he has not seen since he left for this country twenty-four years ago.—Berne Witness.

Todd Linn is home from Warren, Ind., where he has been in the employ of P. Poyneer in the manufacture of fanning mills. Mr. Linn states that Poyneer has quite a concern at that place and is turning out much work. We desire in this manner to thank our many kind friends who so materially assisted us during our sad bereavement in the loss of our son and grandson, and especially do we desire to thank Rev. Wilcox and the M. E. choir who assisted so kindly in the funeral services. Rev. Riley Peters and wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Cloud. The hotel directors will complete their inspection of the plans and specifications for the hotel this afternoon after which Mr. Weatherhogg will invite bids on the plans and specifications as approved. It was stated y esterday that it is hoped to let the contract within the next ten days, when the work of excavation and foundation laying may be begun. If tills is done there is every prospect that the hostelry will be in position to be thrown open to the public by the first of next September. —Journal-Gazette.
The restaurant at the Fall Festival will make a specialty of serving business men who wish to go from their places of business direct to the factory. An elaborate menu has been prepared, changing each evening and ranges from the old reliable ham sandwiches to squabs on toast. Down towm prices.—Bluffton Banner. Work of installing the new heating plant at the jail goes merrily along, and that magnificent building will soon be fully equipped in this particular line. P. J. Hyland the plumber, has the contract and is forcing the work as fast as possible. A large force of men are employed still it is a tedious job and slow progress is made. Converted in a w<*ek of hard work from big, bare and unattractive, the rooms of the King piano factory now assumes an appearance of a Japanese village in holiday attire and at 6 o’clock this evening with the glow of the thousand lights on the hundreds of colors on the gaily decorated booths, display shops and cleverly improvised amusement places. Bluffton’s biggest effort to entertain will swing off for a week of fun and frolic and frivolity—Bluffton Banner.
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 the instrument you buy of us, has the Packard factory back of it, and your banker will tell you that no better guarantee is needed, because the Packard factory has been tuning out satisfactory instruments for nearly half a century, and hardly anv neighborhood can be found but that the Packard Music House has a number of pleased customers, all of whom will recommend the Packard instruments.
