While we do not think the local option enthusiasm in Indiana has affected the weather, still it has been dry enough in Decatur, thank you. Although the summer and fall this year has been hotter than usual, mad dog scares /have ben fewer. Must have been reading Dr. Hurty’s bulletins. The deaths in August from typhoid fever in Indiana ranked next to that destructive malady, consumption. There are many cases of typhoid in Decatur at the present time. A young man. having to walk the floor at midnight with his first born, thought of the rooster, whose pride must be something enormous to wake up and crow every night at that hour. The football heroes will have to take a back seat this year as their scraps will be tame alongside the scraps scheduled between Roosevelt, Bryan, Taft, and a few more of this season's heavy weights. Even Alfred Vanderbilt, with all his wealth, has troubles of his own, as was evidenced by his wife securing a divorce. Another proof that money doesn’t make happiness, but give us the money and we will try it. A spark from the flue at the Charles Stnith home,/west Wiley avenue, caused a small blaze Thursday morning. The blaze did not amount to much, however, and was soon extinguished without the aid of the fire department. —Bluffton Banner. After October 1 first class mail sent from the United States to the King? dom of Great Britain or Ireland will be sent for two cents an ounce or fraction thereof.

Markle has received a new fire engine and Tuesday it was given a test which came up to the expectations of the town board. The engine with two streams of five hundred feet of hose attached, threw two streams over the M. E. church. With 1,000 feet of hose a stream was thrown over the furniture store there. The next few weeks, or up until election, the bands will play, the speakers of both the republican and democratic parties will be abroad in the land, and you will not able to forget there is an election to be pulled off in November if you want to. Strenuous is the word which best will describe the next few weeks politically. Architect Oscar Hoffman completed plans today for a modern house, which is to be erected by T. W. Shelton in Cleveland at once. The house is to be up to date in every particular. containing all of the modern conveniences. Mr. Shelton has owned a lot near Euclid avenue for several years and he has decided to erect a home on same to make the property saleable at once. Nothing more has ben heard from Clem Keller, Decatur, prosecuting witness in the state case against Gene Kyle, who is charged with being implicated in the assault on Keller here , last week. Whether or not the man does not wish to appear and is trying to keep from doing so or whether he is really sick from the beating is not known. The man told Marshal Carlisle when called over the telephone Monday that he was sick. A I few days later the Decatur papers had a story to the effect that Keller was ' net sick and had worked at his livery barn every day after returning from this city.—Bluffton Banner. Nathan Steffen and his wife will go to New York for a visit there with friends. His folks say that Nathan is all right now and that he was all right before he had his trouble when he wag 1 not drinking, that he was very sorry , that it happened and that he had not touched whisky for a year before that time. He had taken some blood medicine for sickness that he had and that was what caused his trouble, but , he would not take any more for a sl,000, because it brings him trouble, like the time when he beat his boy. Still the boy was not hurt so badly, as he was able to ride a bicycle the next day. (The above at the request of j the family.)—Bluffton Banner.

BLUFFTON ON LOOKOUT. —1 For the Automobile Found Near Ocatur. Everv automobile which passed ■through this city !art nigM waa (jected to the closest scrutiny on the part of the night police and whenever j the officers heard a machine on an- | other street from where they were walking they hurried over to take a glance at the machine. All this was caused by a call which Deputy Sheriff Pierce received last night from Fort Wayne stating that an automobile had been stolen from there and was headed toward this city it was thought The machine which was stolen is a Pope Toledo make and has two seats. The pciice are accustomed to receiving calls about the theft of horses, but this is the first time that they have been asked to look for an automobile thief. The officers generally supposed that there was too much danger attached to the running of the machines to entice the average thief. Mr. Pierce had hardly gotten in bed after this call when he was again aroused. This time the police at Marion wanted to know if a murder had been committed here. It was reported that after supper Mrs Rena Stout, who was mixed in the encounter with her husband and Mre. Bowers, killed Mrs. Howers. —Ithiffton Banner. ■—o TOURING CAR FOR SALE.
