UNTIMELY DEMISE Mrs. Harvey Daniels of St. Marys Township Responds to Call of Death Angel DIED LAST EVENING Tuberculosis the Cause— Funeral Services to Be Held Friday Knowing full well that death was 1 inevitable, Mrs. Harvey Daniels, late of St. Marys township has for more than one year endured the ravages of tuberculosis, bravely and without a murmur, surrendering her life to Almighty last evening as a cessation of the intense pain characteristic to the awful disease. Born in Ohio January 19, 1885, she was twenty-three years, nine months and nine days of age at the time of her demise. Prior to the inception of the excruciating ailment she knew aught but happiness. Having enjoyed the splendor of her girlhood days, two years ago, she entered upon a matrimonial career, becoming the wife of Harvey M. Daniels of St. Marys township. Matrimonial bliss, while yet in its prime, was sadly interrupted by the development of tuberculosis, which rarely can be checked, and with but few exceptions casts a deathly gloom about the household. which never can be forgotten. In an effort to restore health to the afflicted woman, she, accompanied by her husband, went to New Mexico several months ago, and while improvement was at first noted she soon relapsed into a retrogression, which seemed to signal the early coming of the death angel. Apprised of the seriousness of her condition she requested that she be brought back to Adams county that she may spend the closing chapter of her short life at home. This was done and weaker and weaker she has grown, passing away as above stated. A husband, father, of Rockford, Ohio, sister, Mrs. Wilbur Woods, of Union township, four step sons and two stepdaughters, beside many admiring survive -to mourn the departure of the estimable woman. The funeral services will be held from the Calvary Evangelical church Friday (tomorrow) afternoon at one o’clock standard time, Rev. D. O. Wise, of Decatur, to officiate. Interement will be made at Salem ceme- ; tery. , n HOG HAS BECOME WILD. ~i Escapes from Pen and Thwarts All . Attempts to Capture It. < Columbus, Ind.. Oct. 28. —A “wild 1 hog” is running at large in the Haw- ; creek bottoms near this city. Although ! 1 John Dahn, owner of the hog. has of- ] sered a reward of $5 for its return, f dead or alive, it continues to elude the s posse which has been after it two days. The hog at one time was as < tame as any hog, but one day it got ( away and went to a neighbor’s corn- , field. Miss Mary Brown owns the corn- < field, and complained that the porker c was destroying her corn. Unsuccessful efforts were made to capture the hog E and return it to its pen. The longer f the hog remained at large the wilder it t grew. A gang of men and boys found s it in a cornfield yesterday and tried to i drive it home. The hog scampered i away as fast as a dog could run. and j being chased to White river, it jumped 1 into the stream' and swam across. g Later the gang went back, armed with ? riflest and shotguns, but they were j unable to find it. C o c THE STUDABAKER HOG SALE. } Big Crowd in Attendance this Afternoon. n The D. E. Studabaker sale of Duroc Jersey begs is on this afternoon and n from appearances will be a most sue- h cessful event. Buyers are here from c many states. lowa, Nebraska, Illinois, p Ohio. Michigan.

Mr. Studabaker is a hustler, and deserves to win In his business and with a continuation of lc his present push and nerve will do so. p Quite a number from this city and e> ccunty attended the sale and a num- d her of farmers from this locality took ft advantage of the opportunity to pur- a; chase full blood stock.

Denver, Colo., Oct 28. —The thirtyfifth annual convention of the National Women’s Christian Temperance union came to an end tonight with a general jubilee, in which all the states represented took the part by reporting the great gains in membership made during the year. It was announced that a gain of 20,000 in membership had been made. Several resolutions were adopted during the sessions today, the most important one expressing opposition to the re-election of i Speaker Joseph G. Cannon to the national house of representatives. Another resolution adopted favored education of the people in regard to "the dangers of fermented wines.” This was introduced by Mrs. Dora J. Spencer, of California. Another resolution adopted pledges the W. C. T. U. “to co-operate more actively with educators in the introduction of the schools savings bank system.” This being the last day of the convention, the pro- , gram was adhered to very closely and most of the day was spent in receiving reports. ■ ■ ■ —-o ATTEND MEETING Mrs. John Niblick and Miss Studabaker Are at Indianapolis CLUB WOMEN THERE Mrs. Niblick to Read Report from National Meeting— Great Time Mrs. John Niblick of this city, accompanied by Miss Hattie Studabakej are at Indianapolis attending the I meeting of the state federation of 1 women’s clubs where the former is j scheduled to read a report from the ' national convention held some months ago. They will remain for all the (sessions, returning ‘Friday. Following is the report of the business of yesterday: Indianapolis, Ind.. Oct. 28. —At today’s session of the Indiana Statp Federation of clubs, the most exciting business before the convention was the naming of the candidates who will , be voted upon tomorrow. There were only two candidates for president, and , the name of one of these, Mrs. Grace [ Julian Clarke, was put on the ticket I' over her protest, voiced some weeks I ago, and again just before the open- 1 ing of the session. However, four delegations represented to Mrs. Clarke that they had come instructed for her, ' and that as they had no instructions 1 to vote for any one else, they begged 1 her to allow her name to go before 1 the convention and she at last con- < sented. * The feeling was strong that the i office woqld fall to Mrs. W. J. Major, s of Shelbyville, whose name was proposed by Mrs. Virginia Meredith, of Cambridge City, and seconded by a dozen delegations and individuals. f The thirteen districts into which the state is divided, corresponding to the congressional districts, met to elect their own district chairmen, the re- I suit being: First district, Mrs. Anna t Lemcke, Evansville; second, Mrs. T. v It. Shaffer, Sullivan; fourth, Mrs. Rose a M. Crater, Seymour: fifth, Mrs. Dryer, o Terre Haute; sixth, Mrs. E. K. Mont- I gomery, Shelbyville: seventh, Mrs. Vir- i' gil H.

IT WAS NOT STOLEN Strange Disappearance of Horse and Vehicle Caused Excitement Last Night WAS AT A STABLE And Was Gone When Owner Called—Suspicious Character at Monroe Considerable excitement was causled last night at eleven o'clock when , a borse and buggy belonging to H. ,R. Buckmaster, which had been quartered at the Holthouse Fashion stables. was found to be missing when he called for it. It was at once susI pidoned that the (outfit had been; stolen and subsequently Sheriff Eli Meyer was notified. He called officers at various surrounding towns notify-, Ing them' of the alleged steal, but in the meantime Deputy Sheriff Edward Green, when returning from Monroe, to the jail saw the horse on Market street and took it into captivity. The outfit was returned to the stables and Buckmaster was indeed grateful that it had not been in the hands cf robbers. A suspicious looking character, refusing to divulge his name, wandered to Monroe yesterday afternoon and his actions suggested that he was in a drunken condition. However, several Monroe citizens were of the opinion that he was shamming and that he was probably a crook. A telephone message to Decatur brought Deputy Sheriff to Monrce and the man was placed under arrest and lodged in jail. He was given a hearing before Squire Stone this morning and | upon promise to propel his anatomy ' from town, he was released. o- - GENEVA PEOPLE OFF FOR WEST Some Are Moving—Others to Spend the Winter.

REVIVAL NEARLY CLOSE. This Evening’s Meeting the LastLecture Tomorrow Night. Another large crowd attended the revival service at the Church of Christ last evening. Rev. Cooper read the 20th chapter of Matthew for scripture lesson. Beautfful songs (were Kung and a social session of prayer and ■ scripture quotations from the membership followed the singing. Mrs. Crabb then sang as a solo the pathetic song entitled "Death is Only a Dream.” and this was one of her very best efforts. Evangelist Crabb read for his text Mark 6-3. This furnished the foundation of his subject “The Carpenter of Nazareth." Rev. Crabb very plainly proved that the Savior of men had labored among men, not only as a carpenter, but later as a teacher, and as the “Great Physician” for the uplifting of man. The life of the Nazarene furnishes the greatest example to men for He worked with brain and hand, and went about doing good at all times. “Just as I Am” was sung ot invitation and one more accession was added, which makes sixteen since the revival began. Subject for Thursday night: "Shall We Know Each Other in Heaven.” This will be the last night of the meeting, but Evangelist Crabb will deliver his popular lecture “Life’s Looking Glass" on Friday night. He will be assisted by Mrs. Crabb in several readings and* songs. This promises to be a rare treat, and every one should take advantage of the opportunity to hear this lecture. Admission 10 and 15 cents. Every one is urged to attend the meeting tonight. After he regular service the solemn ordinance of baptism will be observed. Service at 7:15. o BEHEADED BY HOT WIRE. Fate of a Drawer in Steel Mills at Cleveland. Cleveland, 0., Oct. 28. —Erick Els was decapitated today at the American Steel and Wire company mills. Els was a wire drawer. While drawing the red hot wire it broke. The end struck him about the neck and the wire, released from tension, suddenly coiled about his neck. His neck was burned through in a few seconds by the hot wire, completely severing his head from his body. o HE WILL NOT SERVE Judge Erwin Has Written Judge Sturgis That HeWill Not Be Special Judge IN TERRELL CASE Sturgis Will Have to Appoint Another—Case Will Be Interesting A new special judge will have to be appointed in the Terrell case when it comes to trial. Judge R. K. Erwin, Decatur, formerly judge of the Adams circuit court and special judge at that time in the Terrell case, has written Judge Sturgis a letter and refused to longer act as special judge in the Ter- ( rell matter. This will mean that , Judge Sturgis will have to appoint a 1 new special judge in the case, as he 1 was one of the attorneys at the last trial and would hardly be qualified . . to sit on the bench himself. Terrell j has failed to improve any since he has j i been in the jail. He still remains ' < listless and will not speak unless , spoken to and then only by “yes” or i “no.” He spends most of his time t tearing up paper and smoking his pipe. I He has persistently insisted to the sheriff that all the inmates of the d jail are insane from the fact that none g of them wear white coats. The attendants at the hospital wear white coats, i while the patients do not and he evi- r dently got this impression there. The j sheriff is going to provide the inmate e who takes care of Terrell with a white s coat so that the man will obey him. t —Bluffton Banner. p ■- — o Geo. J.

THE KERN MEETING Blodgett of the Indianapolis News Writes About It IT WAS GREAT Kern Said God Bless the Democrats of Adams County Mr. Kern's meeting at Decatur was large and enthusiastic. From a beautifully decorated stand in the court house square he gazed into the smiling faces of at least 15,000 people, standing close together as if a solid wall of humanity. His ears rung with the plaudits of Democrats who are always Democrats, and he heard words of good cheer and encouragement from throats tuned to sing the praises of Bryan, Kern, Marshall and the whole Democratic ticket. It was a great outpouring of people, all the more remarkable because it was not adver- . tised except through the columns of Lew Ellingham's paper, the Decatur Democrat. Thomas R. Marshall was billed for Decatur today, and the party managers did not wish to lessen interest in one meeting by giving too much advertisement to the other. “I have spoken to many audiences in this campaign, from Georgia to Maine, from the east to the west and back again," said Mr. Kern, “and nowhere have I met such a good-looking well dressed, enthusiastic, uptodate crowd as this, and I can only say to the men and women, the boys and the girls and the little tots whose pretty eyes are watching me, that all of you cerainly look good to me.” Before Decatur was reached Mr. Kern had a god meeting at Huntington, and when he reached Fort Wayne a handsomely decorated car was standing on the track for him and beside the car was an enthusiastic crowd of Democrats to escort him to Decatur. In the receiving party were Lew Ellingham, district chairman; T. M. Gallogly, county chairman; C. J. Lutz, E. X. Ehinger, C S. Jfiblick, J. H. Heller. D. E. Smith, W. H. Fledderjohann, F. M. Schirmeyer, H. B. Heller, L. C. Waring, H. L. Conter, W. A. Kuebler, J. W. Tyndall, Dr. J. W. Vizard, J. P. Haefling, J. F. Lacbot, Fred Fruchte. J. C. Moran, D. B. Erwin and several others. Fred France, of Huntington, who used to live in Decatur, went along just to have a good time. The run from Fort Wayne to Decatur, twenty-two miles, was made in less than an hour, the car at times cutting holes in the darkness at a speed of sixty miles an hour. As the Kern special dashed into the city, a parade more than a mile long reached the court house square. The air was split with the snapping of firecrackers, the rattle of torepdoes and the blowing of horns, while off to one side was a band vigorously playing “There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.” The sidewalks were lined with people and every window along the tracks had something in it. And it just seemed as if Decatur was having a beauty show, for never were so many pretty, handsomely dressed women seen at a political meeting in a city of Decatur’s size. As Mr. Kern stepped from his car the whole city was lighted up with red fire, and cheer after cheer rang out as he made his way to the stand. “It's magnificent.” exclaimed Mr. Kern, as he gazed far across the sea of human beings. “It is one of the grandest sights I ever witnessed. God bless the Democrats of old Adams county.” Constant speaking for the most part in the open air. had made Mr. Kern’s throat sore, and the strain put on him. by constant traveling, had made him weary, but the sight of that crowd drove away fatigue and he made a good speech. Mr. Kern devoted all of his time at Decatur to a eulogy of William Jennings Bryan and told, in well-coined phrases, why the Nebraskan should be elected president, and he disputed some of the accusations made against the Democratic candidate by the Republicans. Mr. Kern compared Taft and Bryan and closed his parallel with the words ‘Taft has never been before the people. He has never been in a position where he could find out what the people think of him. A governor appointed him a superior judge, a president (Continued on page 2.)
