Men of national prom- , inence will speak and it will be a glorious day for the democracy. *.= —-— — State Cnalrman Lee of the Bull Moosers has issued an order that county tickets be put in the field in Indiana. It is argued that this is necessary so that Colonel Roosevelt can secure his entire vote. While there are some objections over the state, where this means the defeat of the 1 republican county tickets, this order ' from the "boss" of this "unbossed” ’ party will probably be complied with, j The next registration day is September 6th. While the Adams county democrats did exceptionally well cn the first call, there are a number who have not registered. In every precinct in the county the workers should make up the lists and get after ' those whi-have not qualified for voting in November. Let’s clean up on this part of the program and do it on Friday, September 6th. Don't let up on your enthusiasm for Old Home Week.

DOINGS IN SOCIETY Mrs. Dr. Keller Entertained for Guests at Pedro aSturday Evening. SUNDAY DINNERS Were Given by Miss Tena Rademacker—Miss Brake Also Entertains. The home of L. L. Hoopengarner was the scene of happy gathering on Thursday evening, when they entertained for Mrs. Charles Sipes of Gas City, who is here for a short visit before going to Oklahoma, where they will make their future home. The guests were J. J. Foughty and wife, H. H. Foughty and wife, Dell Lake, wife and children, and Mrs. Jane Hoover of Pioneer, Mich. Games of various kinds were played Some excellent music was furnished and at a late hour the hostesses served a luncheon, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, fruit salad, ifce cream and cake. The hostess was assisted in Servin*?; by Misses Hope Hoopengarner and Margaret Sipes. Again the Carter family's annual home coming, which occurred August Sth, at Wren, Ohio, has come and gone, and with it, too, as those familiar with the occasion will testify, came what has become the almost inevitable shower. These rainy days make matters quite inconvenient for these meetings, but perhaps they will i add keenness to the appreciation of 1 the fair days in the future, if we are | fortunate enough to select the right day. The inclemency of the weather did not alarm those who have become accustomed to this feature of the day and a goodly number assembled, and the rain not permitting them to go to the grove to enjoy the dinner as intended, through the kindness of the officials of the U. B. church, which courtesy they appreciated greatly, they retired to the. basement of 'he church where dinner was spread, and then to the church auditorium, where the program was rendered. Those from a distance were Mr. and Mrs John Stanton of Chicago; Mrs. Mary Halstead of Chadron, Neb.; Mrs. J. B. | Carter of Chicago. The program and | the general features of the day, such i as the friendly chats, the making of new acquaintances and the renewing of old ones, and not least the dinner, were enjoyed immensely by all present. We extend our sympathy to, those who were prevented, on account of weather conditions, from joining the family circle in its annual effort to strengthen and draw closer the ties that bind the family into a | social unit; and encourage them to strengthen their courage in the cause to the extent of baffling Weather conditions. At the close of the day's proceedings the family effected I an organization for the holding of a like meeting next year, and in con- I formitv tn a precedent already estab lished, and as a mark of appreciation of faithful service, the new organization resulted in the re-selection of this year’s officials to serve in their respective capacities next year. The officers are: President, William Bower; vice President, Clark Frisinger; secretary, Nina Medaugh; corresponding secretary. Bertha Carter; treasurer, C. S. Walters, and the same committees as fo-merly appointed by the president.—Contributed. Mrs. Frank Gass and Mrs, M.

Keller entertained in honor of Mrs. Anna Gass and Mrs. John Ardner of Toledo, Ohio. Pedro was the pleasant pastime Os the evening, at which Miss Nona Forbing proved to be the most successful player and Mrs. .Ardner second.

Other out-of-town guests included Mrs. Julius Spies of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. John Chillcote of Newark, Ohio. BURGLARS ESCAPED 11’.Inu'-J from Page Ij Rundell's wedding ring, a sterling silver enameled gold watch, and other small pins and trinkets were picked up. That it was tta work of local talent is believed by Mr. Rundell, as a one hundred dollar necklace, and a seventy-five dollar broach lying near the other valuables were overlooked, and a silver purse, valued at $35 and containing but a five-cent piece, was ransacked, the coin taken and the purse left, showing that the thief was a poor judge by sight. Five other small pocketbooks were rifled in the dresser of their bedroom and desks and closets ransacked. In the dining room a case containing silverware, amounting to several hundred dollars, was unmoselted. A pack of a hundred engraved name cards bearing the name of Mrs. Rundell’s mother, Mrs. Augustine Pilliod, was also taken, and were perhaps thrown away when opened by the thief. Postage stamps, upwards of a dollar in value, were taken from a desk and with other small articles, were rot discovered until some time Sunday. That the robbery might have been committted by parties following the Daniel Boone show, which appeared here Saturday is the opinion of many, while others believe it was the work of professionals. For the past week I noises have been heard about the house and only Friday night Mr. Rundell made a search from basement to garrett, and he is believed to think that the chance of Saturday evening was arranged some time previous Entrance was effecte*'. through the bath room window by removing the entire frame, while the doors leading to the back and side porches were left open for escape. The dogs used have, out of twenty four trail hunts, been successful in leading to the capture of sixteen, and would no doubt have been successful in running down the robbers here had it not been for the heavy rain. The owner returned to his home Sunday morning. — o NOTICE OF SALE OF BONDS.
