There is great disappointment 1 among Bluffton’s professional loafers at the methods that were used by the 1 last two saloons to quit business in disposing of the remaining stock on hands. It has become the custom for 1 the proprietors, on their last night, to give away all the beer remaining on tap and for this reason the steadies never missed a last night. The last,’ two to go out did so quietly and arranged matters so that nothing to speak of had to be given away, much to the disgust of the large bunch of < waiting hopefuls.—Bluffton Banner. The missionary convention held at > the church last evening was an inter- ( esting one and well attended. The , special feature of the occasion was , the musical program given by the Montpelier choir and the half hour of < early service and the address made by the Rev.

BURNEDTOGROUND Country Home of Sol Sheets Was Consumed by Flames this Morning A DEFECTIVE FLUE Was the Origin of Conflagration—the Sheets Family Away Thia morning at ten o’clock when Mr. and Mrs. Sol Sheets were enjoying a visit, with relatives in Ohio, their home, located in Root township, was completely consumed by flames, the conflagration originating at a defective chimney Miss Verena Rinehart. a sister of Mrs. Sheets, was at the house when it caught fire and she was first warned that the structure was afire by the scent of smoke and immediately she alarmed the neighborhood, fully seventy-five people responding to assist in checking the destructive work of the flames, which soon enveloped the home. Buckets of water were hurled on the fire and a hoee was attached to the pump and water thus supplied, saved the sursounding buildings. In the meantime neighbors carried most of the furniture from the rooms downstairs but nothing was saved from the upper portion o r the house. Mr. and Mrs. Sheets were at once notified of the affair and they will arrive as quickly as possible. Insurance covers the major portion of the loss. RED BEAM WAS THE HERO Auto Turned Turtle and He Went to the Rescue. The Willshire Herald says: While out riding in his automobile Sunday, B. J. Rice, accompanied by John Hofstetter, John Beam, Homer Kohn and ‘ Harry Beam had an accident which | might have been a very serious one, but fortunately no one was hurt outside of the loss of a little skin. While endeavoring to turn off the mud road to get on the pike to pass J. D. Spitler and wife who were ahead in a buggy the front wheels of the automobile caught in a deep rut, and turned the machine on its back, fall-: ing on all the occupants but John | Beam, who was thrown out, and who, lifted the machine to let the others | out, as they were all fastened down. I but luckily not in away to get hurt. The machine was damaged to some extent but net enough to keep it from running, and they got it straightened up and proceeded on their ride. ___c CANDIDATES GO TO FT..

QUALITY IS GOOD Bryan’s Speech in Chicago Well Commented Upon A GREAT MAN A Democratic Victory Necessary to Restore Confidence Os the many speeches delivered by Colonel Bryan since his nomination by the Denver convention, none has greater significance and real value than that made by him in Chicago Wednesday, to the Bryan and Kern Business Men’s association. It was not a lengthy speech, but it was a declaration that may justly be regarded the most assuring and perhaps the most gratifying that has fallen from his lips during the present contest. The pith of the speech is embodied in these excerpts: “If I thought that a Democratic victory would be injurious to the business interests of this country I would not think of asking you to serve on this business men’s committee. I would not think of asking a laboring man to take part in a campaign for the election of the Democratic ticket if I thought that a Democratic victory would be injurious to the laboring interests of the country. I would not ask a farmer to interest himself in our success if I thought that a Democratic victory would be injuricus to the agricultural interests, and I would not ask a business man to support the Democratic ticket if I thought that a Democratic victory would tend to impair legitimate business in this country. "I not only believe that Democratic success will not menace the business of the country, but I believe that Democratic success is essential to the permanent prosperity of the country I believe that Democratic victory is absolutely necessary if confidence is to be restored and the country is to become permanently prosperous.” Continuing, Mr. Bryan said there could be no permanent security for property rights unless human rights are protected. 'Tn saying this,” he added, “I am saying nothing new; it only appears new to Republican leaders because they have forgotten it. The Democratic party is the defender of both property rights and human righs; it |s the exponent of permanent and universal prosperity, and prosperity cannot be permanent unless it is universal, and it cannot be universal as long as a few are selected as the beneficiaries of government.” He touched on the tariff question by saying the Republican premise of revision was not a promise of reduction in duties, while the Democratic plank assured a reduction. Then he came to the bank deposit plank in his platform by saying: "Os all the subjects which I have ever discussed that of the guarantee- , ing of bank deposits is the easiest | I comprehended. As soon as the man 1 makes sufficient intellectual progress to understand that he should be able . to get out of a bank all the money he puts into it he is in a position to understand the Democratic plank guaranteeing deposits. The Democratic party prefers the guarantee system to postal savings banks because it would keep the hanking business in the i hands of the bankers. The insurance 'of deposits would bring out and place 'in circulation millions of dollars now in hiding and which are needed in the legitimate channels of trade and commerce.” Miss Bessie Andrews went to Berne this afternoon to be the guest of Miss Viola Yager for a few ‘days.
