Steele of the Steele & Weaver racket store is convinced that it pays to advertise. In Wednesday evening's issue of the Democrat he inserted an ad asking for clerks for their extra force and the paper was no sooner out than the store was besieged with telephone calls or personal applications from a score or more of applicants for the position. He asked that the ad be discontinued this evening to prevent any further rush.

The bright and clear, sunshiny weather of the past two days seems to confirm the contention of Kdwin F. Naulty of New Yorlc that the tail of the comet is composed of neither gas nor of meteoric bodies: The tall of Halley's comet to all intents and purposes is a celestial searchlight, said Mr. Naulty today. It is nothing more than sunlight condensed from radiant solar energy and projected through the solar system precisely as a lens focuses, condenses and transmits light.” — o- — SECURES SIGNATURES.

The parents are griefstrlcken over the loss of their babe. WOOL PRICE LOW Prices Lower Than For Many Years and Still Going Downward. THE TARIFF REVISION And Its Uncertainty is Said to be One of Causes — Meeting Held. The wool market is on the hummer this year and from the outook at thi3 time there seems no chance of improvement. The price of t wenty-three I cents here today dropped to twentytwo and will fall another cent or two by the first of the week, and the dealers are not over-anxious, even at this price, to buy. Last year at this time the price was about twenty-eight t.o thirty cents. It is claimed that the Boston dealers alone carried over this year a hundred million pounds of wool, and that there is but very little market for any rs this year’s product. It is predicted by eastern papers that the bottom will fall out of the price before long because of the fact that the wool is not arriving from the central west and those who are holding the oid will unload. The uncertainty of the woolen schedule in the tariff law is said to be one of the causes, but it is more likely that the demand has not been so heavy for a year or two past. The question yas discussed at the meeting of the Wool Dealers' association at Fort Wayne recently when the buyers of northeastern Indiana gathered, but could figure no way out.

LOOK EASTWARD TONIGHT. Watch the east tonight between 9 and 10 o’clock for a meteoric shower. This is sure to occur. It is guaranteed by mortals, not by scientists. It may not be the real comet, but it will happen sure. At least we have so been reliably informed. o REV. DAWSON HERE SUNDAY. Rev. J. M. Dawson of Indianapolis will arrive this week to conduct servives at the Christian church Sunday morning and evening. His morning subject will be, “What Makes a Great Church,” and the evening subject, “Almost Home.” . —o MONEY TO LOAN—I have plenty ol money to loan on farms. No commission charged. D. B.

DEATH’S SUMMONS Joseph Daniels of Preble Succumbs After Several Months’ Illness. DIED WEDNESDAY At Home of Sister in This City—Funeral Saturday Afternoon.

Joseph Henry Daniels, who for the past twenty years has served as telegraph operator for tho Indiana Pipe Line company at the station at Preble, passed away Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock at the home of his sister, Miss Margaret Daniels, on Eighth street. Mr. Daniels had been suffering from heart trouble since the first of the year, and while the best of medical attention was given, he gradually grew worse and for some time his condition has been Considered hopeless. Three weeks ago yesterday, however, he came to this city to take further treatment and stopped at the home of his sister. It was not until Monday of this week that he became bedfast, since which time his decline was rapid. He was still in the prime of life, being but forty-six years, nine months and twenty-seven days of age. He was born in this county July 25, 1863, on a farm three miles east of this city and was the son of Simpson and Elizabeth Daniels, both of whom have preceded him in death many years. May 30, 1889, he was married to Miss Minnie Cross., at the Cross homestead on Second street, this city, and their life together was an unusuany nappy one. Tuey were blessed with the following children: Velma, ...arie, Nellie, Ruth, Harold, Paul and Robert, all of whom, witn the mother survive. He also leaves two sisters —Mrs. Jennie Webster of Fort Wayne, and Miss Margaret Daniels of this city. His stepmother, Mrs. Amanda Daniels, preceded —m by only a few months. Alter their marriage he and hjfe wife resided a year in this city and then went to Prebit, Where they have lived continuously since. He was perhaps one of the best known men in this section of the county, and -e will be sadly missed in his home, me community, the business world, and wherever he was known. He was t faithful member of tne Christian church and of the Ben Hur lodge. The remains will not be taken to his home at Preble, but will lie at the home of his sister in this city, the funeral to be held Saturday afternoon, tne procession leaving the home at 2 o’clock for the Christian churcn, where the services will be conducted by the Rev. B. F. Aspy of Eaton. Burial in Maplewood cemetery.

METEORIC BHOWER TONIGHT. All Decatur citizens should be ready to view the grand meteoric display, which will be visible in the east between 8 and 10 o’clock. This promises to be one of the grandest in the history of the universe. Owing to the great distance of the comet from tho earth, the meteors which fell from the tall of the comet as it passed around the earth Yesterday, will be delayed in striking the earth until today, this length of time being required to strike the earth In their fall. - ■ - oBISMARK SHINES AGAIN. The familiar name of “Dismark, the Glass Eater," is again in the limelight—or comet-light—of public print, having been arrested at Fort Wayne yesterday for drunkenness, with nine others on the same charge. Tuesday was an unusually heavy day for the Fort Wayne police, twenty-two arrests having been made, but whether it was the result of the baneful influence of the weather or comet was left undetermined. —o — MR. HONEAS HAD BAD NIGHT. Bluffton, Ind., May 19—(Special to Daily Democrat) —William H. Honeas, the Monroe man who was so badly injured when he was thrown from a rig near here Tuesday evening, passed a very bad night and at several times it was feared he was near the end, but this morning he was slightly better and there are some hopes again that he may recover. His old age, however, manes his recovery very doubtful.
