It holds him responsible for all the trouble now brewing in the country. Well that is just as sensible as it was to give him credit for the good times and good crops the people enjoyed during the past six years. He had about as much to do with the one as with the other. The Inter-Ocean claims he has upset things by fighting the men who are doing things in this country. That may be so, but while they have been doing things they have also been doing the people, and as they boosted Roosevelt into office they thought he ought to be grateful enough to stand off and let them have full swing. A great many of the rank and file of the republican party are with the Inter-Ocean in its war on the mighty Teddy and they want to see him knocked completely out of the political ring.—Columbia City Post.

OBITUARY. Mary Light, nee Blunden, was born April 28, 1858, in Putnam county, 0., where also she grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage with Amos Light, January 28, 1880. and lived in that part of Ohio until about eleven years ago when as a family they moved to Adams county, Indiana. About three years ago they moved to Decatur, where also on Nov. 20, 1907, after a brief sickness she departed this life, aged 49 years, 6 months and 22 days. Five children were born into the family, Four boys and one daughter. The latter proceeded her mother to the spirit world only three weeks. The death of her daughter so recent, weighed heavily upon the mind of the mother in her last sickness. Sister Light was converted at the age of 14 years united with the church and about seven ago united with Salem Evangelical church and remained in this relation until death. The funeral was conducted from Salem church, Rev. A. B. Haist in charge, and burial in the church yard close by, there to await the resurrection call.

ERIE WILL MOVE TWO DEPOTS To Accommodate the C„ B. and CRailroad. It just seems that there is something now doing every day with the C. B. and C. railroad. The latest and probably as important information as any to the railroad company came from the Erie railroad's main offices in New York City and that is that the Erie management has consented after much argument to move the depots at Markle and Uniondale in order to accommodate the C. B. & C. railroad. By moving the Erie depots at these two points the new road will run in front instead of to the rear of them as would have been necessary, had not the Erie management conceded to the C. B. & C. officials’ pleadings. The work of moving the depots will be done by the Erie management but the expense of course will have to be footed by the new road, which it will willingly assume. It means a big thing for the new road and gives them the inside track or the one facing nearest the depots. • CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION. Cl®rk-Carrier.

PRICE OF PORK Was Reduced to Retailers in Chicago Yesterday—Due to Market. REACHES CONSUMERS Price of Hogs Has Shown Average Daily Decline of Seven Cents. Chicago, Nov. 26.—Lower prices for live hogs, which within the last month have dropped nearly three dollars a hundred pounds, resulted today in a reduction in the price of pork to retailers. Presumably the consumer will benefit in turn. The packers gave out a new schedule of prices today showing reductions in pork loins, green and cured hams, ranging from 4% to 5% cents a pound. Another effect of the drop in hog prices was the bringing into the Chicago market buyers from outside markets in increased numbers. Cleveland, Dayton and Columbus, and other cities in Ohio and in Indiana, had representatives here who said they had been unable to secure elsewhere the reductions that they claimed were warranted by the reduction in live fiogs. They bought freely and their demand forced the first advance in the market recorded for more than a week. A sweeping reduction in the prices of meats and provisions is promised Chicago consumers within the next ten days or two weeks. This is to be the result of a similar decline in prices of live stock which have been extending over the last five weeks. Kansas City and Omaha also will follow the lead of Chicago. With the receipts of cattle far in excess of the demand yesterday at the stock yards prices dropped from 25c to 40c. Hogs have shown an everage daily decline of 7c a hundred since October.

LEMAY CASE MAY INTERFERE With the Trial of a Murder Case in Wells County. According to the court calendar of the Adams circuit court the case of "Charles LeMay, charged with assault and a elony, is set down for trial on December 16th, instead of the 3rd. as Prosecuting Attorney Charles Dailey was first informed. This is the same date that the murder trial of Mrs. Ella LaPointe is set down for trial here and both cases cannot be tried at the same time, since Prosecutor Emschwiller and his deputy, Charles Dailey, will want to appear In both. The date of one of them will have to be changed. It w r as said today that there was a possibility that the murder case of Mrs. LaPointe may go over another term, to February, as some of the attorneys in the case would prefer not to take It up this term and have tried to get an agreement for a continuance. Prosecutor Emshwlller, when asked about the matter today, said that he was ready for the trial and would prefer to take up the murder case this term.—Bluffton Banner. e See Lehne, the jeweler, before buying that wateh for Xmas.
