Ossian has rejected the (electric lighting contract prepared by the Fort Wayne and W’abash Valley Traction company and will draft a new document in the effort to reach an agreement whereby the town will be lighted from -the wires of the interurban railroad.

Mrs, Carrie Nation, of Kansas, passed through the city yesterday on her way to Fort Wayne, and she favored the hangers on of the Wabash station there with a few spicy statements condition of Fort Wayne as she saw l it. She went from there to Montpelier, and then on to Toledo, Ohio, where she made a speech last night. Persistency in advertising is as necessary as persistency in business. In most every store there are the dull weeks in the course of a year, but merely because trade is dull the merchant would hardly think of closing his store until conditions improved. And so in the store’s advertising It would be poor judgment to suspend this feature of the busin’ess simply because ths advertising appeared to lack in “pulling power” now and then. At just such times a little extra effort is very often what is neded tp enliven trade and make busy days out of what I would otherwise be dull periods.

The offices of the justices of the peace are extremely quiet at present, the nothing doing sign hanging out at the various courts. The new system of $5 and costs established by Mayor France seemingly does not appeal favorably to the offenders of the law, hence they pause before they act. It is a commendable move indeed. It has been ascertained how- the fire originated on the John D. Stultz farm Tuesday- evening. The six-year-old son of Tony Roebuck, the tenant, was playing'with some matches near a straw stack and in this manner the fire started, burning the straw- and the big barn to the ground. Mr. Stultz will rebuild the barn, the new one to be a large affair. A rousing Democratic meeting was held at the Brodbeck school house in Union township last evening and a goodly number turned out to hear the issues of the campaign discussed. The Hons. D. E.

It ik understood Governor Hanly’s opposition to the exercise of clemency has prevented the pardon board from taking action in McCoy's case. Aaron Waltz and Byron Snell, oi Hartford City, went t° Indianapolis ■ early Wednesday morning to urge the passage cf a certain bill. The bill has nothing to do with the local option but ’ s an amendment to the present hunting laws. It. provides that every man who hunts must have an eye test and carry with him a certificate from a reputable occulist stating that the bearer can tell a tame duck from a wild duck twenty feet away and that he can hit a barn door not loss than 6xß feet thirty feet away. This bill will also provide that any fisherman caught telling the truth be fined nut lass than sl. nor more than $5, and “disfranchised” from fishing during January and February.—Bluffton Banner. Before the snow flies the big Scottish Rite cathedral at the corner of Clinton and Washington streets will be under roof, if the plans of the architects and contractors receive no serious set back. Construction work on the big building is being rapidly rushed and a force of about fifty men is now employed on the edifice. Acceptances are now being received by the Masons to the invitations recently sent out to many nearby lodges inviting them to be present and participate in the big doings on the occasion of the cornerstone laying next Tuesday. Most of the replies are enthusiastic over the big event and state that practically the entire membership of the lodges will attend.—Fort Wayne News.

George Brewster returned to his home in Jefferson township this morning from a business trip to this city. C. E. Best returned to ITeble this morning. He attended the meeting of the O. R.

Miss Maud Juday returned to her home at Elkhart today after making ■ a visit in the city with A. L. Burdg and fatally. E. B. Newton, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was a business caller in the city this morning. He left at noon for Fort Wayne. Dr. C. B. Wilcox will next Sunday evening deliver the third of the series ' of lectures. Special music will be had and an interesting meeting is as- 1 sured. The Grand theater will open to the public Saturday, October 3rd, and a grand opening it will be. Miller and j Fristoe will have a popular place of amusement. Mrs. R. Ernsberger went to Decatur this morning for a few days’ visit with her parents. She was accompanied by Miss Leona Peterson, of that city, who has been visiting here. —Bluffton Banner. All members of the tribe of Ben Hur are earnestly requested to be out this evening and to bring a friend. After a short business session an interesting literary ad musical program will be rendered. Sunday, October 4th the St. Paul Lutheran congregation will dedicate their new pipe organ, recently installed by a pipe organ company of St. Lcuis. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend.

The Geneva high school base ball team will play the Decatur high school team at Steele's park tomorrow morn-' ing at 9:30 a. m. No doubt a large crowd will be present to encourage the local boys on to victory. The admission will be ten cents. The papers state this morning that W. J. Bryan spoke to one of the largest political gatherings ever held in Cincinnati at Music Hall last evening. The lowest estimate of the crowd was 75,000. Four years ago Mr. Bryan spoke to 50,000 people in the same hall. Work on the new telephone line to Fort Wayne was completed today, and the service between this city and that one is again first class. The line was changed to the opposite side of the liver hecaui * traction line which made it almost impossible to hear over the line. Fort Wayne held a big Democratic meeting last evening, which began with a big torchlight procession of 800 or 900 members of the different marching clubs in line. Mayor Reed, cf Kansas City, delivered a most masterful address at the Princess Rink. Quite a few from here attended. The James M. Robinson speech at the court, house next Monday evening should prove an attraction that will pack the room. Mr. Robinson is a clever and entertaining speaker and one of the best posted men politically in Indiana. He will explain the big issues in a manner convincing and pleasing. Base ball, politics, local option and a few other topics which are discussed in heart »to heart style at Corbett’s I each day. are making an old man cut of Tim, who has to agree with every side. However, he has kept his temper fairly well until today when he read Walter Wellman's statement that the Roosevelt-Haskell affair resembled a Kilkenny scrap. • , Gus Fogel is in receipt of a very enticing offer from A. A. Grant, manager of the South Bend Central league tfam offering him a position as catcher on the team next season. Mr. Fogel is considering the offer seriously but as next summer is a long way off he is not certain as to what he will do. He has had a large number of other offers sent him, most of which he has turned flatly. He is a catcher who can command a good position and needs not be in a great hurry about engaging a place. Clinton Prough an old Huntington I. O. leaguer but who is now pitching for the Zanesville team, visited his old team mates in the city this afternoon. He states tha he is getting along fine. —Huntington Democrat.

GEE-WHIZ TOMMIE! T. M. Reid Tells a Whopper That Makes Hearst Look Cheap AND PROVES IT Fought a Muskelunge for Hours and Captured Him at Risk of Life Thomas Reid, one of the jolly, whole-souled traveling men wr.o calls Decatur home, has just written a fish story to his friend. D. M. Hensley, that puts him in a class uy nimself, not in fishing, but in tel Hag stories, and he really seems to have a little on the boys who have ben telling political yarns and calling each other names. We fear very mucn that if

the attention of President Roosevelt, Haskell or Hearst is called to the card they will brand him as one of those now popular falsifiers, but nev-.v-the-less a sense of duty causes us to give the story to the public. It is written from Spread Eagle, Wls. One side of the card contains the picture of a sport in a row boat landing a monster fish and on the side of the card Tommie says: Dear Heck —Rome City is not in it —see other side —hooked this muskelunge at 6:17 a. m. Saturday. Fought him seventeen hours and forty-three minutes; tied him up until five a .m. Monday when the combat was renewed and after five hours I captured him in a lumber yard, two miles from the lake. When sufficiently recovered I took him to the town scales where he weighed eighty-seven pounds and two ounces with the scales on. Used a Smith bug, made in Decatur. Can you mount him? Wire. Photo taken in five different poses. For full particulars see Chicago American. T. M. R. Q BILL ENGROSSED (Continued from Pare Onel the bill unchanged has only one more appearance to make its fateful journey. As soon as the bill was engrossed the house adjourned until Saturday morning. Speaking of yesterday’s session, the Indianapolis News said: Seldom has a fight like yesterday's been seen in the house of representatives. Every member of the house was in his seat during the struggle, while surrounding them were massed the hundreds of friends of the bill and some of its enemies. The friends included about every Republican politician of state prominence, at the top of the list being Congressman Watson himself, candidate for governor. The vote of Johnson to postpone the bill had been preceded by a thirty-minute session between himself and the candidate for governor, in which Watson is said to have used every effort to win Johnson over. The Republican advocates of thd county local option bill had believed that defeat of an effort to postpone yesterday would mean the certain passage of the bill when the time came. Now, however, they are not so confident. They had. fcr Instance, conceded the loss of Hottel (Dem.) and White (Dem.) on the postponing program, but were certain they would vote for the bill on its passage. Yesterday White made a speech explaining his vote —one of the only two speeches made on the question —and in this speech the Republicans do not find any reassurance. The accession of Billingsley and Bowlus, of Indianapolis, to the county local option forces it is feared, may only be temporary. So it Is that while the Republicans hall yesterday's vote as a victory, they do not look toward Saturday’s vote on the passage of the bill with very much security. «■ ■ ■ o SAYS OHIO IS DEMOCRATIC. Jacob Forbing, of Kenton, Visits His Brother Here. Jacob Forbing, of Kenton, Ohio, is the guest of his brother, Peter Forbing and family here. He says the Democrats in Ohio are confident of victory at the November election and has plenty or argument to convince you if you are skeptical on this very important question. It’s the same way in Indiana. LOST—A purse Containing five dollars, a baby ring and a receipt. Finder "please return to Mrs. Chas. Ervin on Elm street or to this office. 230-3 t

A SURPRISED MINISTER. “For many years I have been a sufferer from bronchial catarrh, and had despaired of anything like a cure. Judge of my pleasant surprise when I first used Hyomei which brought complete relief. Hyomei has been a veritable godsend.”—Rev. Charles Hartley, Sardinia, Ohio. Thousands of catarrh sufferers have given up in despair. They have tried ■stomach dosing, snuff, sprays land douches without success, and now believe catarrh to be incurable. Rut Holthouse Drug Co., the druggists, hold out hope to all distressed. They sell a remedy called Hyomei which is guaranteed for catarrh, colds, bronchitis, asthma and croup. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is medicated air, full of the healthy virtues of the mountain pines. Yon breathe in the delightful antiseptic air, and as it passes over the Inflamed and germ ridden membrane, It allays the inflammation, kills the germs and drives out the disease. A complete Hyomei outfit, including a hard rubber inhaler, costs but SI.OO. and an extra bottle of Hyomei. if afterward needed, costs hut 50 cents. Sec. Holthcuse Drug Co. about it today.
