THE WOOL MARKET Opens Here at 14 to 17 Cents and Remains Unsteady Owing to Tariff. REDUCTION OF DUTY And Indefinite State of the Market Responsible For Lower Figures. Interest is being manifested in the local wool market at this time, the first clippings having reached the local market and brought fair priaces, the market hovering between fourteen and seventeen cents. This price ranges from seven to ten cents lower than the marse., of last spring and is rather unsteady owing to the indefinite state and the probable outcome of the reciprocity bill. In the house the democrats clipped many duties off the wool schedule 'and the Chicago Tribune of recent date quotes the action of the house as follows: “A reduction of the duty on raw wool from 11 and 12 cents to 6 cents per pound, and reduction of new duty by 1 cent annually until free wool is obtained; in case free raw wool is finally abandoned, the elimination of all compensatory duties. “A horizontal reduction on all manufactured woolen goods by 25 per cent and a reduction annually thereafter, equivalent to the cut made on raw wool. “Substantial reduction on tops, etc. "Substitution of ad valorem for specific duties." This will leave the wool market in a very unsteady shape for some time to come, or until the tariff measures are definitely fixed. — o —■ - WEATHER TO DROP 40 DEGREES. (United Press Service.)

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH. I To be Planned by Adams County Sunday Schools. Delegates from the different Sunday schools of Washington township met in the Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Quito a num- ■ her of schools were represented. The : meeting was called to order by Mr. : Thomas Perkins, who is township su- ■ perintendent. Rev. Imler of the U. B. : church of this city invoked God's • blessing on the assemblage. Miss Reppert of the German Reformed church was elected secretary for the afternoon. Mr. Perkins then stated ; that the purpose of the meeting was • two-fold. First, to discuss. 'Why all patriotic Americans should help to ; promote a sane celebration of the Fourth of July." Second, to arrange i the program and plan for the county i convention to be held at Washington : church on the afternoon and evening of May 14, 1911. This convention is held especially to celebrate the "tricentinary" of our translation of the English Bible. After some discussion from several present it was decided that Mr. Perkins should call all the Sunday school superintendents of the township together to determine how and where all patriotic people in the six northern townships of this county desired to hold a sane celebration of the Fourth of July. The program for the convention at Washington church was to cover these three general subjects: First, Christ, the Great Organizer." Second, an address on the Bible, or the threehundredth anniversary of the King James version of our English Bible. Third, “Christ, the Master Teacher of the Ages.” Washington township is trying to become a front-line county. In order to be a front-line county is must have: Cradle rolls in 50 per cent of Its school*. Home departments in 40 per cent of its schools. Adult organized classes holding certificates in 30 per cent of its schools. Teacher training classes in 20 per cent of its schools. Increase in county enrollment, 10 per cent of its schools. It is earnestly requested that every person who is interested in a proper celebration of the Fourth of July will express themselves and help with all their might to make this year’s celebration one never to be forgotten.— Contributed. THEODORE BAKER Getting Better From a Stone Cut Gash. Theodore, little son of Mr. and Mrs. John Baker, residents of Mercer avenue, who on last Friday met with an accident while engaged at play, is improving and will get along all right. He, with his brother, were playing the game of “duckey" when he was struck just over the eye with a stone, cutting quite a gash, which required the attention of a physician, who put in a stitch to close up the gap. o ■ INTERURBAN DIRECTORS MEET. The directors of the Fort Wayne & Springfield railway company held their regular monthly meeting in the assembly room at the traction office Monday, matters of routine interest coming before the board. NOTICE TO S. S. WORKERS. Believing that loyalty to God and native land is the best possible combination for good citizenship, and recognizing the custom of an annual picnic and day of social recreation and sociability observed by most Sunday schools, the Adams County Sunday School Council, at its last meeting recommended that twd Sunday school picnics be held In Adams county July 4, 1911, the six southern townships uniting in one and the six northern in the other. As this is an untried experiment tn the northern part of the county, and as earnest co-operation is essential for success, we request all Sunday schools in this section to give the matter their careful consideration.

FORCED TO SHOOT Handsome Coach Horse as a Precaution to Life—Was Raving Maniac. I INJURED ITS OWNER I „ I i Would Not Allow Feed to be i Given in Regular Way— Sold as Gentle. I " — The coach stallion, which was recently purchased by C. M. Foreman of i Willshire, and which had been getting : worse continually, was shot as a pre--1 caution to life. In a former attack , the animal dfoko an arm and lea for Mr. Foreman and shortly after that I he entered a suit for #IO.OOO damages , against George W- Souers &> Sons ol , Huntington. Ind., the parties who are alleged to have sold him the horse, , guaranteeing it to be gentle. The exact shape of the animal's disposition is aptly shown by the description of the Willshire Herald: “C. M. Foreman’s coach horse, mention of which was made in the Herald week before last, and which nearly killed Mr. Foreman, grew steadily worse until Monday morning, when it was necessary to shoot him as a precaution to life. The horse had broken several halter straps and it was Impossible to get in to tie him up longer and the feed was shoved in under the door, while an opportunity was awaited when the horse had his head at the opposite side of the stall to set a bucket of water in quickly and get the door shut before he got turned around. Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning he was raving just like a maniac and it was thought once that he would break down the door. The horse was purchased from George W. Souers & Sons of Huntington, Ind., and was sold to Mr. Foreman as gen tie. This certainly isn’t a very good reputation for this firm, and as the? persist in refusing to settle, it is presumed that they are intentional cheat- , ers There has been considerable talk since Mr. Foreman got the horse but he says he doesn't care, and that if he has to lose any of it, he may as well lose it all.” Many parties were under the im- ■ pression that the Frisinger & Sprunger company of this city was implicated in this deal, but as this firm does not handle coach horses, and are perfectly reliable, it was probably started through a mistake, as the above Mr. Foreman has to date purchased three Belgian horses from the local company. o — CLASS CONTEST STARTED. By Christian Sunday School —Sunday's Services Were Excellent. The regular services at the Christian church on Lord's Day were well attended and were impressive as well, showing great enthusiasm. The Bible school, which has had a steady growth the past year, started a contest between the various classes for increasing the attendance. The class bringing the largest number of new pupils into the Sunday school will receive a prize of five dollars. The pastor’s subject for the morning service, “Repentance,” was a good one and many good lessons were taught those who gathered to hear them. The special music for the service was a duet sung by Mrs. Albert Anker and Mrs. E. H. Shoemaker. At the close of the service one was added to the church. The subject for the evening was “A Plea for Ignorance,” and proved to be a stirring twentieth century subject. The principal theme carried through the discourse was the thought that, as in the commercial and educational world we are not satisfied with what other people say, but are continuously Investigating and studying the problems for ourselves, so must we in the religious world keep our minds busy finding out for ourselves from the Word, the way to a higher and a better life. A vocal solo, “The Lost Shir.” was sung by Mrs. P. G. "Williams. THE SOCIAL NOTES CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO wedding of Mr. Earl B. Newton of Detroit and Mrs. Fannie Cole, which took place at noon today at .Decatur. Mr. and Mrs. Newton after a short period will be at home at Mr. Newton’s country place near Detroit. Mr. and Mrs. Fitch entertained the prospective i bride and groom at dinner yesterday at their home on East Berry street. - Harold H. Van Norman of Detroit was 5 also a guest—Fort Wayne Sentinel.

Kliewer. pastor of the Mennonite church, read hla resignation to the congregation laat Sunday, stating that he had accepted the call to take the Bible chair at Bethel college, Newton, Kansas. The church has as yet taken no action on the resignation, but it la expected that a meeting will be called soon and the resignation accepted. Rev. Kliewer will remain here until the first of September if no successor is secured by that time, but is ready to give up the place as soon as some one else will fill it.—Berne Witness.
