weather: Snow followed by clearing tonight with cold wave Saturday; fair and cold high north west winds. The farmers who were in attendance at the institute returned to their homes last night The weather is certainly miserable at present. A light snow of last evening made the sidewalks damp. Mrs. Charles Loch and Miss Zoa Miller went to Fort Wayne this morning to spend the day with friends. Fred Mutchler went to Fort Wayne this morning to look after business interest for the Decatur Packing company. J. B. Stoneburner gave a most interesting show at the new Star theater last night to record breaking crowds. . Mrs. Levi Baker is somewhat imj proved today and it is thought that j she will recover without much inconI venience. , Reports from Geneva are to the effect that Martin Laughlin is improving nicely and will soon have fully recovered. There is a great deal of sikeness at the present time evidently caused by the changeable and damp weather. Lagrippe is the prevailing ailment. True Daugherty left today for Lafayette to resume duties in Purdue university after being detained for several months on account of illness. The school board will meet tonight at the usual place, and transact 1mI portant business relative to our public institution. The salaries of the teachers and janitors will be allowed. The farmers still have hope for the wheat. Unless the weather takes a change to bitter cold, the crop bids fair to be fairly good, as the wheat is now several inches above the ground. The law books which are being given by the Democrat to subscribers who pay ahead are going rapidly. The value of the book is recognized by all w’ho see it. It is certainly the greatest premium ever given by an Indiana newspaper. The Farmers’ Institute closed last evening, after enjoying the most successful sessions ever held in the city. Ed S. Moses having served for eight years as president of the association, declined to serve further, hence a new president was selected. The meeting of the city council to be held next Tuesday night will be interesting to every tax payer. At that meeting important business transactions in regard to the new city building will be made and other business of importance attended to. C. S. Mumma, elected president of the Farmers’ institute at the session yesterday, was the secretary during the past year, and that he was a good one can be adjudged by the excellent reports that were printed in the Democrat duting the meeting this week. He is one of the excellent far- : mers of the county and of course,; greatly interested in the work of the i institute.

W. H. Stephenson hss received his patent papers or his patent fence brace. The application papers were filed sometime ago, but the patent granting him the sole right to manufacture the brace arrived today. The brace is said to be one of the best on the market and Mr. Stephenson claima that his is the only brace manufactured in Bluffton covered by a patent.—Bluffton News. The fact that the school term has been shortened a month is being forcibly borne in upon the members

j of the various high school classes at , this time by the activity of preparation for the commencement exercises. ’ This year the graduation exercises will take place on May 31st instead of the latter part of June as heretofore, and for that reason the preparations are just one month farther along L than usual. —Bluffton News.

Senator King wants the Wabash river in the vicinity of Peru dredged and deepened. Templeton White, prominent Wabash man. died Wednesday at his home in Rich Valley. The will of George Redding, of Wells county, made in 1876, has just been probated at Bluffton. The Avilla creamery during the past year made 103.118 pounds of butter for which it received 324,019.42. Many events in socialdom were pulled off this week, which were very prominent and delightful affairs. Governor Marshall will call a special election in Marshall county to elect a successor to the late Representative Sarber, of Argos, who died a few days ago. Mrs. Anna Miser, of Auburn, has been adjudged insane. A few weeks ago Mrs, Miser attempted suicide by jumping into the river while visiting at Elkhart. C. C. Miller and A. W. Fox, of this city, and E. J. Bubb, ot Bluffton,were the three men enlisted for service in the United States navy here yesterday.—Fort Wayne Sentinel. The remains of a man found in a box car at Indianapolis several days ago were those of Orlie Heck, of Wabash. The case w T as cleared up Tuesday by the young man’s father. Albert Burke, who is at the St. Joseph hospital in Fort Wayne, having an Injured eye treated, is getting along fine, and will be able to leave the hospital in a few days. The K. P. lodge had a good meeting last night, and conferred the work in all the degrees. The Knights is one of the strong orders of the city and are growing to beat the band. Attorney P. H. Clugston, of Columbia City, is dangerously ill in Arizona, where he went in search of health. He was until recently a member of the law firm of Marshall, McNagny & Clugston. O. T. Johnson well earned the prizes given him in the corn contest yesterday. He secured first on yellow and second on white. He is one of the best farmers in the county, and knows the game thoroughly. As a Lake Shore passenger train was pulling out of Auburn Wednesday night unknown parties fired a bullet through the windows of one of the coaches, narrowing missing a passenger. Detectives are at work on the case. With her honeymoon scarcely ended, Mrs. Fanny D. Julien has sued Arthur Julien for divorce and on top of that caused his arrest in police court at Elkhart on the charge of assault aud battery. They were married September 14 last, and at the time the bride gave her age as 75 years, and the groom was put down as 32. In the complaint Mrs. Julien alleges cruel and inhuman treatment. Society women of Marion who have been playing cards for prizes are worried because of the calling of the grand jury, following the charges of a minister of Marion that the women have not only been playing for money as well. A number of card clubs have postponed their meetings that were arranged for this week. The few clubs that will meet will not offer prizes to successful players. One of the oldest houses in eastern Indiana still stands as a landmark on the farm entered by Benjamin Harris in 1834, located in Washington township, Randolph county, six miles and a half southeast of Winchester. The log part was built in 1836, covered with four-foot clapboards, and for a while it was used with a dirt floor. The bricks or the chimney were made on the Patrick Harris farm, north of Huntsville, and were what was known as ‘‘slop brick’- the mud being tramped by horses and the molds dipped in water instead of sanded. This evening will be Hibernian night at the Anthony Wayne club as the local order of Hibernians will give their annual ball at that place this evening. All arrangements have been completed and, as usual, the affair has been looked forward to with considerable pleasurable anticipation. Those on the reception committee are P. J. McDonald, William P. Breen, William H. Rohan, Dr. H. O. Brugge - man, Stephen B. Fleming, Dr. E. J. McOscar, James J. Hayes, E. J. Lennon, Frank MJungovan and J. J. Woulfe. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. Benjamin F. Shively is the first man ever elected to the United States senate from the extreme north end ot the state. The cities farthest north to furnish senators before this time are Wabash and Logansport Judge John Petit, of Wabash, was selected some time in the 50’s and Daniel D. Pratt, of Logansport, was elected in 1850. David Turpie once lived in Logansport, but when he was elected to the senate in 1887 his residence was at Indianapolis, where it has been ever since. He also served a short time in 1863, when he lived in Logansport. With these exceptions the senators for the past fifty years have all lived farther south.

Dr. Homer Sowers Is comfortably located in his office again and is doing a good business. There was nothing doing in police circles today as usual, and the justices have but little to do. The condition of Mrs. J. E. Moser remains about the same, although she is gradually growing weaker. Carl Smith is recovering nicely, and will soon be recovered unless unforseen complications set in. The remains of the late John Haggard passed through the city today on the 1:11 train and will be interred in Monroe township. Congressman J. E. Watson, of Rushville, defeated for governor of Indiana. is being boomed for a place on the president’s cabinet as secretary of commerce. Mrs. Joseph Eley will have her trial in the court of Squire Smith next Monday afternoon at two o’clock, a change of venue having been taken by the defendants. George Steele was a business caller at Bluffton yesterday and has returned to the city. Mr. Steele will leave next week for Chicago to buy a large stock of goods. The Coppock Motor Car company has many good prospects for the sale of their commercial car. The car is meeting with the apporval of the people everywhere it is shown. Word ifrom ’Lima, Ohio, conveys the news that Mr. and Mrs. William Phillips are the parents of a girl baby, which made its appearance yesterday. All concerned are doing well. A brother of Lee Kahn has come to this city from Decatur to take the local man's horses to Decatur, where they will be kept during the jail sentence. Kahn has no feed in his barn for his horses and his brother said he would feed and care for the animals.—Bluffton Banner. Samuel Benn, who until the laws enacted by the general assembly of 1907 went into effect, was engaged in the sale of spectacles as a side line to his customary work of auctioneering, begun the circulation of a petition Wednesday morning which he will forward to Representative John M. Smith, at Indianapolis urging the latter to use every means within his power to work for the repeal of the law creating a board of registration and examination in optometry.—Portland Sun. Many local oil men think the conditions are about right for an advance in the pirce of Indiana oil and have been expecting the announcement for Several days, says the Montpelier Herald. One thing seems to be uncertain and that is unless an inducement to hold them in the way of better price comes soon, a big per cent of the wells in this section will be pulled before many months roll by. The present price neither induces drilling of new wells nor makes operation of old ones profitable. Ed Phillips, of the Record force, was just a bit absent-minded Tues day evening, when he walked out of the office to go to his hotel for supper, after carefully arranging his necktie and adjusting his toilet. After walking a square on the main business street, a friend called his attention to the printer's apron, which Phillips was displaying in front of his shapely form. Mr. Phillips rushed back to the office while his supper was growing cold, and deposited the unnecessary appendage in no pleasant frame of mind. —Pierceton Record. Ben Sollinger and M. A. Sout have returned from Indianapolis, where they attended a meeting of representatives of the Merchants’ association over the state. The two local merchants said that they thought the garnishee bill would be passed, although they acknowledged that there would be some trouble in getting it through the house and senate. While there is no concentrated effort on the part of the unions of the state to defeat the bill there are a lot of jackleg politicians, who play to the people who do not pay their debts. — Bluffton Banner.

P. lodge held a most enjoyable session last night at which time two candidates were initiated into the mysteries of the order and several candidates were voted upon. The month of January is almost a thing of the past. Just two mon, days and then February will have to be contended with. Let us hope that the prevailing weather conditions are more favorable during that month than they are this. Miss Florence Kunkle gave a de. lightful party at her home last night and a great time was had by all who were present. Those from Decatur who were present were the Misses Fannie McConnel and Margaret and Helen Walters of this city.
