No one will dispute the fact that railroads help a community, and this one will aid us in many ways, since the main offices and shops are here. It won't cost you anything to push. Would you like to have the farm lands in this locality doubled in value? Would you like to see every farmer more prosperous? Woud you like to see every business man making money and everybody else comfortable and bappy? The way to do it is to . secure manufacturing plants that will do this. You may have an opportunity along this line within the next few weeks. If the time comes, do your part. The death of Seymour Worden removes from our midst one of the oldtimers of this section. He helped to build in the early days. Over forty years ago he became auditor of Adams county. He was an unswerving democrat, and until the past few weeks took great interest in all things polit’cal and otherwise. Active and industrious he made his way as best he could until illness prevented him from so doing. His career was an inte“esting one, and his good qualities many. The tariff board or commission is doing what it was originally intended to do. It is a makeshift, and the first man to make use of it as a makeshift was President Taft himself. He vetoed the wool bill and the free list bill in order to give the tariff board a chance. When Taft's party gets a report from the tariff board, if it ever does, it will proceed to do up the report on one ground or another and the tariff will remain intact. The men who are responsible for the tariff commission are in favor of a high tariff, and they will see to it that their are respected.—Columbia City Post. Mr. Sherman, vice president, broke into print a few days ago by saying that bis party was making a great mistake in abandoning protection and that the people of the country would have to go through a great business depression to bring the people back to their senses in this matter. "Sunny Jim” was only reiterating the same old threat, which to a certain extent is true. This special favored protection i has gotten such a strong hold upon 1 the affairs of this country that it can 1 bring an a panic whenever the least ' attempt is made to cut down their , enormotis profits. It is equivalent to ; saying that unless the consumer permits them to set at the table and de- ' vour all the good things to eat, they J will deny the common people even the ( scraps that fall to the floor. This is t certainly a bad state of affairs, and > should cause the average American ’ statesman to blush with shame and indignation, instead of trying to defend ‘ such an infamous system that permits ■ a favored few to constantly enrich i themselves at the expense of the toiling masses.—The Brownstown Banner.

■A — ■ ■ 1 — ■ "* Andrew Welfley complains that fish | ermen going to the river over his premises have succeeded in breaking down a wire fence at the rear of his property. Though he has notified them frequently they persist in doing so, and it is likoly that a prosecution for trespass will be necessary to stop the practice. While Andrew has no objection to people crossing his yard, he cannot afford to allow his property destroyed, and some one will probably cause the law of trespass to be enforced. AFTER ANOTHER The Clover Leaf is Watching the Affairs of the Illinois Terminal FOR ITS PURCHASE Officials Are Investigating and Would Mean a Big Thing For Them, Will the Ciover Leaf purchase the Illinois Terminal to secure <.he direct connection with the Chicago & Alton that it so greatly desires. The question was occasioned by the visit to Edwardsville of a party of railway officials representing the Alton-Leaf combination. They had been in St Louis inspecting the terminals of the f.' A. Then they went to Madison yard and looked over those of the Clover Leaf. Coming to Edwardsville Saturday, they turned the Y onto the Illinois Terminal and went to Alton, piloted by Conductor John Whalen, From Alton they went down the Burlington on the west side. The members of the party were: W. L. Ross, vice president; Frank W. Morse, vice president and general manager; E. S. Wortham, purchasing agent and assistant to president; E. S. Genson, inspector of transportation, all of Chicago. The St. Louis members of the party were E. S. Keane, assist ant freight agent, and T. G. Roehm, assistant general passenger agent. The Clover Leaf and Alton are nowone, yet they have no connection except the switching facilities that some other line offers. Hence it is presumed that the Illinois Terminal would be such a road and is eminently desirable to the Clover Leaf and Alton. — o GOING TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS. Decatur Will be Well Represented in Bluffton Saturday, Sept. 2nd. X Decatur will be well represented in Bluffton on circus day, Saturday, September 2nd. Indications are that the town will turn out by the thousands, attracted by the wonderful new circus which the Barnum * Bailey people are putting forth this season. The show has an entire new equipment, costing the management >3,200,000. One-third of this was spent on the parade which is reported as the most elaborate I street spectacle ever devised. It is ; three miles in length. The great irenagerie of this circus is creating nothing short of a sensation in towns it visits. It contains. the most remarkable collection of rare beasts of any zoological display in the ' world, and many specimens which are not duplicated in any other zoo, in I America or Europe. The chief attraction here is a year old giraffe, the only one ever born in this country. In fact it is the only giraffe, not full grown, ever seen outside the depths of the African jungle. Matured giraffes are scarce enough but this youngstet- is worth its weight in gold. The performance in the main tent is presented by 400 of the world's greatest artists, gathered from no less than thirty-two nations. The act* they are offering are novel and not at ail like the acts that have been seen in Amer-1 ica in the past. Fifty clowns furnish I the comedy and in this respect the show is the laughing success of the age. And there are thrills without number from the start to the finish. The performance of Charles the First, a chimpanzee bicycle rider and roller skater, is a most sensational surprise. The specialties of John Ducander's bell-ringing seals, a brass band of elephants, the Konyot family of German riders, the Fonelli family of Italian ac-1 I robats, the Les Deko family of French equilibrists and the Siegrist-Silbon 1 lamily of aerlalists are of the first i European rank. Barnum and Bailey carry 1,286 peo- ! ide, 700 horses, 40 elephants. 30 cam- 1 I els, 1,000 other wild animals, dynamo I plants, barber shops, tailoring establishments, bath parlors, laundries, blacksmith shops, harness shops, car- ! ; venter shops, dentists, doctors, a iaw- ' yer and a private police force. The ' many tents cover fourteen acres of ground.

Atwood took to the air at 7:20 this morning headed for the Hudson waters, with ideal weather. Atwood passed over many villages rapidly and cut across the cities of Albany and Schenectady without stopping and headed down the river. He alighted at Castleton, sixty-seven miles from Fort Plaines, at 9:13 a. m. With his arrival here the record flight of 45 miles distant will have been made. At Albany the copper phontoon was waiting for him, which he telephoned to have there on his arrival. He said he would probably resume flight at 4:95 this afternoon and perhaps alight at ißhinecliff, forty-five miles further south. He will then have covered 1,177 miles, thirteen miles more than the world’s record. o ■ INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS FOR SALE — I have for sale some fine specimens of Indian Runner ducks: Ist grade, >5.00 each; second grade, >3.00; third grade, >I.OO each.
