True the busy summer sale season is over and there is a lull between the clean-up period and the fall rush, but it’s the business man who can keep things moving now that shows a good dividend at the end of the year. • » -• The Great Northern Indiana fair will open five weeks from today. Os all the year’s events this is one in which every resident of the county should combine to make it a glorious success. The managers can furnish the amusements and they will do this. It’s up to all of us to boost. Why not have a big ’’Home-coming” for one day? The manager and committees of the Fort Wayne & Springfield traction line are putting forth a wonderful effort to build the line south.* The men deserve credit and aid in every reasonable way. They have fought long and against great odds. It is said that another week will develop the definite knowledge of whether or not the extension can be made and it is to hoped that they will win. No one doubts the good that would come from a traction line through to Portland and no one should stand in the way of such an improvement. Our old friend, George W. Cromer, of Muncie, former congressman, and well known politician, broke into* the headlines again this morning as the result of a fistic encounter with another attorney and former judge, Joseph G. Leffler. The men had met at the office of Attorney Guthrie, to take testimony to be used in the saloon cases in September, Cromer representing the “wets" and Leffler the “drys.” The men had been political opponents for years and it did not require much to renew- the feeling. As the men started to leave the room Cromer rushed upon Leffler, but the latter soon had his arms pinioned and was slowly backing him up to a window when other lawyers separated them. The saloon fight, which comes up at Muncie September sth, has long been advertised as a warm one, and these preliminaries would lead the outside world to believe that the performance will be just as advertised.

The electrical storm of Saturday' night worked havoc over the large I area of the farming community east I of Berne, says the Berne Witness. The heaviest losers are Frank and John Sipe in Blue Creek township, whose barn was completely destroyed, with all the hay and barley and oats I and other implements that were stored ,in it. Lightning struck it at 2:3<» o’clock in the morning. Frank Sipe I who lived on the place owned by | : John Sipe, was up and out at the barn almost in a minute after it was struck I and quickly got out his four horses and harness, but by that time the: whole barn was one mass of flames I and nothing more could be saved. The ■ : loss is partly covered by insurance. About a half mile north of Sipe's the barn of Frank Tinkham was struck and partly damaged and a cow standing nearby - was killed. In Jefferson township Philip Strable suffered considerable loss by lightning damaging his barn to the extent of tearing down slates, rafters and siding. At another day last week three of Sam Teeter’s horses in Wabash township were hurt by lightning, but none j killed. CITY IN DARKNESS. (United Press Service.) Logansport, Ind..

(United Press Service.) Elkhart, Ind., Aug. 15—(Special to I Dally Democrat)—Nearly unconscious j from the treatment which he received from the hands of two robbers, Jacob 1 Tobber, a grocer, was found bound in , ; bed this morning. He had been beaten I j and robbed of $9lB. One of the robj here threatened to pour kerosene oil I on the bed and bum him before he could be made to tell where the mon;ey could be found. The police have no clue to the robbers. o Mrs. Glen Glancy of Monroe who , was a shopper here today, returned at i noon to her home. Mr*. E. j. Binkley, of Nappanee, Indiana, it a happy woman since Hoover’s X-Ray Healing Oil relieved her of a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism. She says: *'i can't say enough for Hoover's X-Ray Healing Oil. I had an attack of inflammatory rheumatism in my right arm, and before I used Hoover's X-Ray Healing Oil my arm was swollen from the elbow to the tips of my fingers and the pain was so great I could not sleep. Since I used X-Ray Healing Oil the swelling has all gone down. I used part of one bottle.” Here's another case: Will Zegenfus, Ossian, Indiana, writes: ”1 suffered for six weeks with rheumatism and could find nothing that would give more than temporary relief until I heard of Hoover's X-Ray Healing Oil. I tried it, and to my great surprise, I am cured. Relief was immediate.” It is a great remedy for many other bodily aches and pains. Remember the name—
