OF THE ODDFELLOWS Meeting is Now On —Will Visit Greensburg—Cornerstone for New Building. Indianapolis, November 19. —Uniformed Patriarchs Militant arriving in Indianapolis yesterday for the department council sessions, formed the advance guard of the 2,500 or more Odd Fellows coming to the city for the annual big week in Indiana Odd Fellowship. The grand lodge of the Odd Fellows and the grand encampment of the patriarchs militant will have an occasion the greater this year by reason of the corner stone laying of the new grand lodge building, Pennsylvania and Washington street. Yesterday’s session of the department council opened at 10 a. m. in the Board of Trade assembly room. Ma-jor-General E. R. Perrin presiding. Not a great deal of important business was on the program of the day’s meeting, but today the election of officers will take place. As in other orders, there is one contest of absorbing interest, and over which a strenuous battle is being waged—the steppingstone office, in this case the grand junior wardenship. The Odd Fellows making the race, however, are keeping their efforts to land the office pretty well under the surface, and there is an absence of open electioneering, which is tabooed by the laws of the order.

W. I. Hughes, of Alexandria; H. W. Hodson, of Martinsville; E. E. Kelso, of Vevay; J. S. James, of Linton; W. A. Breining, of Rockfield; S. O. Sharp, of Indianapolis; Perry Higman, of Lafayette; W. F. Wells, of Clinton, and F. G. Sabin, of Oxford, are candidates for the office. Others who will be advanced without opposition are: L. C. Helm, of Decatur, to grand patriarch; H. J. McSheehy, of Logansport, to high priest; W. H. Taber, of Terre Haute, to grand senior warden. W. H. Leedy will be re-elected grand scribe; J. M. Lang, of Sullivan, grand treasurer; L. G. Akin, of Indianapolis, will become grand representative, and S. P. Stroup, of Shelbyville, grand trustee. Wednesday afternoon at 1 o’clock Odd Fellows will visit the home at Greensburg, the trip being a semi-an-nual event. About 1,000 members are expected to go. At noon Thursday the cornerstone of the new building will be laid. John B. Cockrum will preside, and Robert T. Daniel, of Georgia, will be the principal speaker. The ceremonies will be simple and informal. The only parade will be the marching of the grand lodge members from the Pythian building through the two blocks of Pennsylvania street to the new building. The sessions of the grand lodge will end Thursday afternoon.

A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give it without hesitation, even to very young babes. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium ,no chloroform, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant extract that helps to heal aching lungs The Spaniards call this shrub which the Doctor uses, “The Sacred Herb.” Demand Dr. Shoop’s. Take no other. W. H. Nachtrieb. o This is Werth Remembering As no one is immune, every person should remember that Foley's Kidney Cure will cure any case of kidney or bladder trouble that is not beyond the reach of medicine.

WANT A PARDON Friends of Joseph Osborn Seek Signers to Another Petition. FOR HIS RELEASE Five Jurors Have Signed the Petition —Community His Release. Relatives and friends of Joseph Osborn are here today from Grant county making an effort to secure signers to a petition to be presented to the board of pardons asking for the release of Joe from the Michigan City prison. The majority of people in this community believe that he has already been more than sufficiently punished and many signers are being secured. At noon five of the jurors who convicted Joe had signed and this afternoon the men drove to the country to secure the others, all of whom it is believed will sign. The petition recites that Osborn was convicted De cember 24th. 1903, for the murder of John Busenbark and that although he may have been technically guilty, yet the signers believe he has already suffered more punishment than he ever deserved. It further says that the signers believe that if Osborn, is relased and pardoned will be a useful and law-abiding citizen and will in every way honor and respect the con-, fidence thus reposed In him. SALE WAS SUCCESS D. E. Studabaker Sold His Stock and Farm Implements. AVERAGE WAS GOOD

Total Receipts of Sale Were $2,400 and Every One Was Satisfied. D. E. Studabaker sale held Monday was a very successful one, in fact one of the best held in the county this year. The crowd was large and though several facts combined to injure the sale just at this time, still the bidding was spirited and Mr. Studabaker feels very much elated over the success of his first sale. A free lunch, including hot coffee and plenty of good sandwiches was served and helped to keep the crowd in a good humor. The gas engine and the sheep failed to sell and these will be disposed of at private sale. The registered hogs averaged about twentyone dollars, a splendid showing for the first sale. The total receipts were about $2,400 and every customer was completely satisfied. The stock was all high grade and made an excellent showing. o A BROAD STATEMENT.

MANY MEETINGS (Continued from page 1.) ladies of this society have, as always before, manifested a spirit of charity and many a home will be gladdened bj the efforts of these most estimable ladies, ere Thanksgiving is past. The ladies of the society as well as every other organization of its kind, are deserving of the co-operation of the people inasmuch as they have done much for the betterment of the community. It is hoped that a goodly number of ladies will be at Friday’s meeting and assist in making their efforts most successful. The entire proceeds forthcoming from their various meetings of this month will be appropriated for local charity and this affords a golden opportunity for people who can, to contribute to a good cause. Tonight at the Rebekah hall a grand time is in store for all members of this order from Fort Wayne, Linn Grove and Berne, should they be present as the members of the Decatur order have planned for a gala time. Initiatory work will be conferred upon Miss Florence Johnson, after which an elegant banquet will be served to the large crowd that is expected to assemble. It is thought that a large delegation from the three lodges that have received initiations will be present to partake of the festivities. The Ladies Shakespeare club will hold their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. W. H. Nachtrieb, tomorrow afternoon with the most absorbing topic “Modern Music" to be discussed. The principal paper is to be handled by Mrs. Jennie Studabaker, and the Misses Irene Schirmeyer and Carrie Thomas will favor the members by illustrations of music of today. This meeting was to be held at the home of Mrs. Studabaker but has been transferred to Mrs. Nachtrieb’s home in order to have the use of her piano to illustrate their topic.

The meeting of the Bachelor Maids club which was to have been held at the home of Miss Kate Mylott this week, has been postponed until next week. The Ladies’ Historical club will hold a meeting at the home of Mrs. R. K. Erwin tonight and an excellent program will be rendered. Mrs. D. B. Erwin will have the principal paper on “Alexander’s Successors” which promises to be unusually interesting and Mrs. Jennie Studebaker will have charge of the entertainment. The ladies of the Pastime club will hold a meeting with Miss Louise Holbrok on next Thursday evening and an enjoyable session is anticipated. The west end Needle club will meet at the home of Mrs. John Bright on Ninth street tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock and a good attendance is desired. About eighty members of the C. B.

DOLLAR A POUND Was the Price Fred Bohnke Received for His Big Belgium Horse. HE SOLD FOR SI,BOO Weighed Just Eighteen Hundred Pounds —Went to Woodburn, Ohio. Fred Bohnke yesterday disposed of his big sorrel Belgium stallion which he had owned for several years to a party of citizens in and around Woodburn, Ohio, for the sum of eighteen hundred dollars. The animal was one that had been imported by Frisinger and company from the old country and weighed something like eighteen hundred pounds, thus bringing a dollar a pound. The horse was a beauty in every respect, having reached the age of seven years and is still a very valuable animal. The men made the deal without much argument, and the animal was today shipped to that place, where he will be cared for in the future. These animals always bring a fancy price and are considered valuable property by horsemen, and are at present in great demand. Mr. Bohnke is disposing of his horses as he expects to go out of business owing to other interets he has on hands, and in consequence made the deal in a short time. The company that purchased him are all well to do business men in that community, and think well of the bargain they made.

SYSTEM ON FARM Demonstrated by Elmer Johnson That It Pays Well. THIS YEAR’S WORK Resulted in Immense Crops —The Land Was Recently Sold to Mr. Gillig. That success can only be attained where there is a plan faithfully followed, well arranged and earnestly pursued has been fully demonstrated in farming by Elmer Johnson on the Riverside stock farm during the past year, and by his success he shows to his neighboring farmers what constitutes success upon a farm and how the end is attained. For the benefit of Mr. Gillig, who a few days ago purchased this magnificent farm for the sum of $28,500 and for the benefit of his numerous farmer friends, Mr. Johnson today handed us a tabulated stateme'nt of the result of his successful farming on the Riverside stock farm, during the past year, which is quite interesting. The farm as all well know, is composed of 292 acres of the best land and from this he raised this year 1,410 bushes of wheat, 1,265 bushels of oats, $1,192 worth of com from 45 acres; $1,369 worth of hay, $45.50 worth of potatoes, $68.00 worth of alsyke, $73.50 worth Jof timothy seed, $354.75 worth pf hogs, and besides this the cattle and horses that he has not enumerated. Mr. Johnson attributes his success to hard work and conscientious labor, and also to the system he established each year. He congratulates Mr. Gillig upon purchasing this farm and is confident that he has made the best bargain that could be made in Adams county. Mr. Gillig assumed control of the farm today and is now busily engaged in getting ready for the spring work.

WONDERFUL ECZEMA CURE.

“Our little boy had eczema for five years,” writes N. A. Adams, Henrietta, Pa. “Two of our home doctors said the case was hopeless, his lungs being affected. We then employed other doctors but no benefit resulted. By chance we read about Electric Bitters; bought a bottle and soon noticed improvement. We continued this medicine until several bottles were used, when our boy was completely cured.” Best of all blood medicines and body building health tonics. Guaranteed at Blackburn drug store. 50c.
