SELLS HALF INTEREST. Andy Harting Disposes of Half Interest in Restaurant. Roy Russell, a well known young man ot the city, closed a deal whereby he becomes half-owner In the Andrew Harting restaurant and ice cream parlor, just opposite the G. R. & I. depot, one of the hustling busi ness places in the city. Mr. Russell, the now partner, is already associated in the new stand, and will greatly add to the business part of it. He has some experience in this line, having worked at Ossian some time previous to returning home. Mr. Harting has been the sole proprietor for the past two years and has worked up an excellent business, and owing to the close confinement required at all times, took in a partner, thus relieving him somewhat. The two young men enjoy a large circle of friends, which assures for them a successful future. TO ATTEND SYNOD Rev. and Mrs. Gleiser to Leave Monday on Three Week's Vacation. ONE OF PLEASURE Will Enjoy Outing on Kankakee River—Visit Number of Cities. Rev. \V H. Gleiser, pastor of the ; Presbyterian church, having been - granted a three weeks’ leave of abI sence from duty by th? congregation, | will on next Tuesday, with Mrs. GleisI er, leave on an extended trip down I the Kankakee river, stopping near I Tefft, a little city along this beauti- | ful stream, where many pleasure ! seekers spend the summer months. While there they will visit with Mrs. i (Heiser’s aunt, Mrs. Mary Coffin. I From there they will proceed to WatI seka, 111., the home of Mr. Gleiser, : and visit his parents, Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Gleiser. Completing there stay | there they will continue to Peoria, where the pastor enjoys a large circle 1 of friends, and where their stop assures one of pleasure. Chicago will ' also be Included in the itinerary, and will be visited previous to their return home. During the absence of the pastor there will ta no preaching services, the first service being the first Sunday in September. Miss Ruth Gleiser. a sister of Rev. Gleiser, who has been their guest, will accompany them homo on their leave on Monday. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The V. S. leads all nations in the : exportation of typewriters. Each month it exports a $1,000,000 worth, i During the present fiscal year the ex- ■ ports will reach a total of $12,000,000. The trade has increased eight-fold in ■ the last fifteen years. 1 They may not have counted them, i yet statistics say the American hen has laid 1,591,511,371 eggs in the past ten years. In Delaware a fruit grower now grows a coreless apple. He owns a tree that has produced now for two years seedless and coreless apples. The fruit is of the usual size and very highly flavored. He is grafting some ot the twigs into othej trees in his orchard and hopes in the course of a few years to make his fortune. The price of wheat is not only well sustained by the hoine demand but the demand for shipment is strong. The exports this season far surpass those of last year. Os course weeds on a farm aie a nuisance and must be. kept down, let it cost ever so much labor and care. , n diversified farming and the scientific rotation of crops you can best succeed in keeping down the weeds which are always the worst where a farm is run continuously in the same crop. _ Something unusual for an August da y was noted this morning upon entering a number of business houses, was the fact the the furnaces were sending forth heat, as though it was a cold December day, and by the way it didn't feel o ut of orcier either.

UNIQUE LETItR Is That Being Sent Out by Wemhoff to Members of Dealers Ass’n. FOR SUMMER MEET Tells of Blind Man Who Got SSOO Worth of Good at Broom Makers’ Meet. George Wemhoff, of this city, state secretary of the Indiana Retail Monument Dealers’ association, is busy just now, sending out letters to the members, urging them to attend the mid-summer meeting of that body, I which is to be held at the convention I hall of the Wayne pavillion, Detroit, ,on August 27th. This will be followed immediately, by a three days’ session of the national association, at which time will be shown the grandest collection of monuments, designs and supplies, ever assembled under one roof. George's letter is unique and original. At one place he asks “Will it benefit you to attend a trade meeting? If you have doubts read the following from a weekly newspaper: 'Nate Lehr, our blind broom maker, returned yesterday from Chicago, where he attended the annual meeting of the Blind Broom Makers of the United States. Nate feels it doe him five hundred dollars' worth of good to be there, and feel the different exhibits, and he expects to soon have some new patterns of brooms on the market.’ “If a blind broom maker can feel five hundred dollars’ worth at a trade meeting, wouldn’t a monument dealer be able to see and hear - a thousand dollars' worth at our big convention?” It's worth thinking about. o GRANTED LEAVE Rev.

The change in temperature is thought to have brought on the severe attack and nothing would relieve him but fresh air, and he had to be kept in the open during the night and today. Mrs. Ben Schrank still continues to improve from her illrtess and operation, and can now be up at short intervals. The nurse was dismissed some days ago and everything seems to be passing off well.

D.. 100; C'orono, S. D., 100; Erwin, S. D., 100; Ellendale, N. D., 200; Edgerley, N. D., 200; Howard, S. D„ 100: Hickson, N. D., 100; Wheaton, Minn., 200; Langfor, S. D., 200; Melette, S.

Governor Marshall also expects to visit Ne>v York while In the east. He will be gone probably a week.

This will be Governor Marshall’s first trip to Seagirt since the Baltimore convention and it is expected that the two governors will devote considerable time in outlining plans for the coming campaign. Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Mystery today still surrounds the visit of Governor Wilson tonight to New York. He insisted the only person he will see is National Chairman McCombs, and he will discuss with him plans for the campaign. Just why it should be necessary for a presidential nominee to go and see his manager instead of the manager coming to’see him was a question troubling many. The Governor declined to explain. New York, N. Y., Aug. 3. — (Special to Daily Democrat.) —The entire white light district was in mourning today. W. W.

Pete Mougey, the Monroe street blacksmith, is having his share of bad luck this week, and although he is still able th “bobble” around, ’t wouldn't ake much to keep him at home for a while at least. On Wednesday. while shoeing a horse, the animal became unruly and in its fright kicked him on the left leg, making it very sore and bruising it badly. This was severe enough, but he was able to attend to his work, and get around by taking things more easy, and with plenty of time. On Friday, the second mishap, more painful than the first injury occurred, when a second horse, refusing to stand while being shod, jumped on Mr. Mougey, and the same leg which had been injured only two days before, reveived the brunt of the jump. In going to • a physician it was learned that several bones of the foot were broken and the ligaments torn, and the flesh crushed, making it so sore than he can scarcely walk. The bone in the big toe, between the joints, was broken, and the foot can be used but very little. The foot is also badly swollen and the injury of Wednesday makes ; t very painful and inconvenient for him to get around. GREAT HOME COMING. Andrews, Huntington county, is ex--1 (Inga large- influx of its former residents on August 7th, a home-com-ing affair having been arranged for that day by the Andrews Home-Com ing association, organized a month ago with A. C. Wasmuth as president. The excellent program arranged will be given on the old school grounds at Andrews. One of the features of the day will be a big dinner. Members of the Home-Coming association wish it understood that any one, no matter whether a former Andrews resident or not, is invited to attend. It is assured that the “glad hand” will be extended. The committee which has charge of the arrangements for the home-coming is'"composed of F. W. Kelsey, Milton Woodbeck. James Small, Mrs. F. W. Kelsey, Mrs Iry and Miss Dessie Morris. The address of welcome and prayer will be given by Rev. Hughes of the Andrews First Methodist Episcopal church. Thad Butler, former Huntington editor, now editor of tjie Decatur Herald, and a former resident of Antioch, will address the gathering on the subject, “Andrews.” WILL CALL MEETING.

PICTURE REMOVED Portrait of Albert J. Beveridge no Longer Adorns Republican Walls AT INDIANAPOLIS Roosevelt's Also to be Re-moved-Aeroplane Mail Service Established. (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. ,3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Albert J. Beveridge’s picture no longer graces the wall of the Indianapolis republican headquarters. ‘‘l hate to do it, but he is no longey a republican," said Edward F. Staley, secretary of the state committee, as he removed the picture of the former senator, and carefully stored it in the basement. A large portrait of Colonel Roosevelt hangs in the committee room, but as soon as the former president is nomi nated at the national convention, his picture also will be assigned to the dust and darkness of the basement, according to Staley. Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Governor Wilson will not make a general stump tour of the country in his presidential campaign, but will probably make a few speeches in debatable states. The governor made this announcement today. “I wil not stump the country," he said. “I have definitely determined upon that. I anticipate that I will make a few speeches during the campaign at times and places considered desirable by the campaign committee and myself. I presume that the speaking campaign, not necessarily mine, but that of the organization, will begin about September Ist." Chicago, 111., Aug. 3—(Special Io Daily Democrat) —With a dramatic demonstration by Colonel Roosevelt, the state convention of the Illinois progressives was opened today in Orchestra hall. Just as soon as order was called the electric lights were extinguished. Flags draping the rear platform were withdrawn and an enlarged picture of Roosevelt blazed forth. The band played patriotic airs, while mad, wild cheering lasted for five minutes. When order was again restored, Dedill McCormick, who had called the convention to order, introduced Charles E. Merriam as tempo ary chairman. Washington, D. Aug. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Postmaster General Hitchcock authorized the establishment of an aeroplane mail route between Connersville and Rushville incorporated. He issued orders that the postmasters in these two' towns dispatch mails between the postoffices by aeroplane service, “provided such mails be carried by i sworn carrier and without expense to the government." It is proves practicable Hitchcock said he would probably appoint other aeroplane routes in and around Indianapolis. QTHE CRYSTAL. The Crystal is showing a very fine film tonight in the drama, “The Law of the North,” a film which was taken in the wild portions of the north woods, showing scenes in that far land. The film was secured only after the exi>enditure of much money and the taking of great hazzards by the players who appear in the cast. The other two films are in every way the equal of those usually shown at this progressive theater and tonight’s show’ will doubtless please all who attend. —X* — ——. AGAIN FULL FORCE. The Krick-Tyndall Tile company is again working the full force of men, they being forced to shut down temporarily on account of the severe storm of a few weeks ago.
