Wells, of Fort Wayne and Steve Fleming, also of Fort Wayne, for the senatorship from Adams and Allen, becomes too warm, the Democrats will try to cool off the atmosphere by announcing John W. Tyndall, of Decatur, as in the race.—Blodgett, in Indianapolis News. Mr. Roosevelt is inclined to favor an income tax, but he does not favor it as strongly as he favors an inheritance tax. The man who pays the income tax, you know, is usually alive, while the inheritance tax comes from the estate of a man who is usually dead. Sometimes these little things make a I mighty big difference —at least in the view of some politicians. The Republicans are getting scared about the tariff and are talking about taking the quesion “out of politics.” Mr. Bryan observes, in the Reader Magazine, that the Republicans always kept the tariff question in politics when they thought they could win on it, and are only thinking of taking the i other course because* they are afraid they will lose on it. And that's the size of it. The rumor that Dan Haley has sold out his meat shop on east Monroe stret or that he has raised his price on meats are untrue. He is still doing business at the old stand and at the same prices. 295-St DEMOCRAT WANT ADS. PAY BIG

DECLARED INSANE Inquest was Held for George Snyder of Hartford Township WILL BE RETURNED His Mother, Two Sisters and Four Brothers Suffered Similarly Drs. Aspy and Frice and 'Squire Veley, of Geneva, held an insanity inquest over George Snyder, a well known citizen of Hartford township and will recommend his return to Ease Haven asylum at Richmond. Snyder is thirty-eight years old and was first sent to the asylum in July, 1901, being released as cured the following March. Lately the old symptoms returned and his condition necessitated his return to the asylum. The Snyder family seems to have been peculiarly unfortunately afflicted with insanity as the papers filed in this case shows -that . George’s mother, two* sisters and two brothers were inmates of insane asylums and two other brothers committed suicide. —o— Gravity. The most distant planet in our solar system, Neptune, is 2,750.000,000 miles from the sun, and yet the arm of the j sun reaches out and controls the re- ' mote planet without the least difficulty. In a word, gravity is universal, every atom in the universe exerting its influence upon every other atom. —New York American. One Was Assumed. A fool tricked out in motley smiled on his lord and said to him, “Sir, what is the difference between my foolishness and thine?” “Say on,” quoth the lord. “Well, of mine,” quoth the fool, “I make a profession.” The state tax commissioner has instructed the treasurer of Adams county that he shall collect all delinquent taxes and unless same are paid it shall be placed in the hands of the prosecuting attorney for collection.

The resolutions were presented in two series, the first dealing with the operations of the treasury department and the second with the clearing house certificates, both being divided into three sub-di-visions. Washington. December 10. —Representative Chaney is a convert to William J. Bryan’s idea that deposits in all banks should be guaranteed. “I would have the government lay a small tax on national banks for the execution of a guarantee fund ” said he today, “and I would have the federal law go into effect until states had made the same provisions for state banks. I am for the plan because it would stop the hoarding of money.” — WELLS COUNTY COUPLE WEDDED Event Occurred at Berne —Surprise to Friends. A wedding held four days ago and kept secre£Sintil Sunday noon, comes as one of the biggest surprises that has ever been given Wells county citizens. The couple are Henry C. Schott, a son of George Schott, of Domestic, and Miss Ada Belle Gottschalk, a daughter of Michael Gottschalk, also of that place. Last Thursday the two came to Bluffton, took out a marriage license and asked Clerk Plessinger that the record be kept secure from the eyes of the newspaper reporter until Monday morning. The obliging official granted their wish, and with the license they drove at once to Berne, where at the residence of the Rev. C. A. Cooper they were united in marriage. only the necessary number of witnesses being present at the ceremony. The nuptials were kept a secret from every one other than their parents, and even their most intimate friends were not aware of its having taken place until it was announced yesterday. The groom is one of the county’s best known mdn. He is the proprietor of the grain elevator at Petroleum and is identified as one of the leading men of that growing little city.

Harold, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Murray was bitten in the left arm by a big dog. The boy not thinking that the animal was to vicious, did not take any precaution to prevent any harm being done ami before he could realize what was com ing off, the canine plunged upon him and left his arm in a serious condi tion from the result of the bite.
