Where's the fellow who said this was to be a mild winter, that the ice wouldn't be over three inches thick, and various other things because the onion only had one skin and because of many other reasons? Well, he's off, anyway. ' ... ny— The Jackson Day meeting at Washington next Monday will be the big political event of the year among democrats. Among the speakers are Bryan, Wilson, Kern, Folk and many others, and utterances of these fain ous men will be studied by the voters of the land. About thirty men have registered their names for a job at the sugar plant’s site here. The work will open next week, according to Mr. Spear and the first benefit from the industry will come then when our men are given employment during a season when tvork is wanted and needed. ' “ - Congressman John Adair of Portland, accompanied by J. F. Denny, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor S. A. D. Whipple, Abe Bergman, Isaac Hahn, Frank Gillespie, Samuel King, O. A. Rawlings, M. A. Hart, J. R. Fleming and others, made things quite lively about the Denison hotel yesterday in booming Mr. Denny. The Portland boys were a fine-looking bunch and made a good impression.—lndianapolis Herald. ( One of the important duties of th* next few days for the democrats will be the selection of the place and fixing of the time for holding the national convention. Baltimore, New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City and Denver want it. Baltimore has offered $100,009, but New York threatens to raise that bid. The republican convention has been fixed for June 18th at Chicago. The date is the anniversary .of the battle of Waterloo. Is it the “sign of a token?” Bernard Korbly’s straight-forward speech to Governor Marshall and his

announcement that he represents no certain business or men or faction, was plain and to the point and should set at rest any misgivings, if there be any on that score. The truth is he ! s a splendid choice for the head of the state committee and will do all in his power for victory at the polls. Demoocrats of Indiana will get behind him and assist him to perfect the best organization ever had in the Hoosier state. .EUB ’ Harvey R. Wiley, the pure food exI pert at Washington, has compiled a I list of thirteen persons who promise Ito do a great work for humanity in I th® next five years. He heads the list with President Taft. Following him, he names Roosevelt, Jane Addams, Simon Flexner, president of the Rockefeller institute, and Dr. Robert S. Woodward, president of the Carnegie institution in Washington. Then came Dr. Abraham Jacobi, president of the American Medical association; Henry S. Pritchard, president of the foundation for the aid of teachers; Cardinal Gibbons, Chief Justice Edward D. White, Arthur Hadley, president of Leland Stanford university; Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana, and Speaker Champ Clark. It is not apparent why Dr. Wiley limited the number to thirteen, unless it was for good luck. There are several others who might be included in the list who will no doubt be surprised that they were omitted in the big thirteen. —Columbia City Post. THE HORSE SALE. The first sale of the season started off with a rush this morning when at 9 o’clock Auctioneer McNabb of Ashland, Ohio, took the block and called the crowd to order. Several good horses were brought out and were instantly bough up by the buyers. An excellent bunch of horses were taken in for this sale and no doubt there will be but few that are not shipped out of the territory. The preponderance of foreign buyers is probably due the very cold weather which in a great t measure prevents the fanners from coming in as the extra work entailed by the weather will probably take them considerably longer in the day. However, a goodly bunch of men is attending the sale and the bidding is going on spiritedly. The sale is a success and great preparations are under way for the one to be held next Friday, IF YOU ARE A TRIFLE SENSITIVE About the size of your shoes, it’s some satisfaction to know that many people can wear shoes a size smaller by shaking Allen's Foot Ease into them.

H. 1 Schenk of Berne and his bride, who was Miss Rebecca Stauffer, daughter . of Mr. and Mrs Amos Stauffer, of Geneva. Mr: and Mrs. Enock Eady invited a few of their friends to their home on South Eighth street Wednesday even- . ; ing, it being Mrr. Eady’s forty-sixth . birth anniversary. Those present 1 ! were Mr. and Mrs. Adam Weis, Miss Emma Conrad, Mrs. Morris Hay and 5 sons, John and Emerson. Out-of-town • guests were Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Cline and son, Herman, of Moline, 111. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess, and a good time was had by all, wishing Mrs. Eady many more such happy birthdays. Mr. and Mrs. John Kiracofe gave a dinner party today, their guests being I Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wood of Bluff- : ton and Mr. George Wood of Wren, Ohio. 1 In spite of the stormy weather with- i 1 out, the Needlecraft club enjoyed a ■ cozy meeting Thursday evening with i Miss Etta Mallonee, where the usual ,' sewing and conversation, w ith contests , and a luncheon later, were in order.' i An interesting contest was a musical . romance, the blanks to be filled with , musical terms. Another was a contest in which questions were to be an- ( swered with words ending in “age.'’ I , Miss Matilda Sellemeyer was hostess to the Entre Nous club girls. . While their needles were plied with , zealous care, conversation was briskly engaged in, and then came a contest, in which questions were answered with I words ending in ‘’nation.” Miss Ella Mutchler won the first prize in this, and Pearl Purdy, the booby. A luncheon completed a delightful entertainment. i The Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette this morning noted the issuance of a marriage license to Otto P. Nffler and Ella L. Bucher, both of Fort Wayne. , The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Bucher of Root township, this county, and has been employed in Fort Wayne for some time. She is a niece of Henry Knapp of this city and is well known here. The groom is also a former Adams county boy. Their friends have been anticipating the wedding for some time, but did not know of its date until reading the announcement of the marriage license issuance. The study of Africa, with a specialty of the Pharaohs of Egypt, was continued by the Shakespeare club at the home of Mrs. D. M. Hensley. An in- . structlve paper by Mrs. P. G. Hooper was interestingly discussed by all in the sub-topics, and there were appropriate readings by others. Mrs. D. F. Quinn gave a 6 o'clock dinner party Thursday evening in compliment, to Mrs. Oren Smith of Indianapolis, formerly Miss Nellie Schrock. The members of the Schrock family were other guests. The regular meeting of the Bachelor Maids was held Thursday evening with Miss Celesta Wemhoff, and one of those good times so often enjoyed by the girls was again evident Thursday evening. “Five Hundred” was the game of the evening and prizes were awarded to the Misses Mayme Deininger and Emma Terveer. Later in the evening several excellent piano selections were rendered by John Wem-' hoff. which added greatly to the evening of pleasure. The club will he entertained next week by Miss Mayme Terveer Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Gleiser threw open their home last evening for the entertainment of the girls of the Presbyterian Guild and the King Arthur boys, a general frolic ma king the evening an especially delightful one.

She was insured about four years ago, but owing to the faithfulness in keeping up the policy, the sum of $l5O will be received from them, and for which the agent here received instructions from headquarters to make necessary arrangements for .he full settlement of the policy. o— - ..... .
