It will do you good and ho difference what your position you should listen to the argument of men who have studied the questions Mr. Rondthaler. the bull tuooaer billed to appear here last eveniug tailed to materialise and local rotliustasts took the opport unity to talk to those who gathered If the crowd ol last night is a fair teat, the progressives are not as strong here as they have l»een heralded. By actual count the

crowd was forty-two men, women and children. A. J. Beveridge, progressive candidate for governor, although running on a platform which has a county option plank in it, did not defend county option four years ago, and is held reapqjisible for its omission from his party platform two years ago, therefore cannot be acceptable to temperance people.—Berne Witness. Shot's which sell for four dollars ill this country sell for 12.56 in Ixmdon. Shoes which sell here for five dollars •ell for $4.05 there. Indies' serge dresses which sell here for $5.00 sell in London for $2.84. Men's suits retailing for sl2 00 in this country are sold in London for $5.82. The same thing is true of goods in practically every line of goods used by the common people. The statements can be verified in many ways There are iu Decatur several people who recently lived in London and who will verify the statements. The g. o. p. is divided Os that there seems to be no doubt. Just | which side, the regulars or the progresssives have the best of it, no one seems real certain, though bets are be ing offered in this city that Taft will have two hundred more votes in ’he county than Roosevelt. Some claim the regulars are succeeding in their efforts to line up the stray ones and thus save the organization for the future, while others declare that the third party movement is stronger than a week ago. What's the difference’ The democrats are stronger than eve’, better organized and ready for the battle of next Tuesday With the enemy hopelessly divided there can be but one result, a glorious dmocratlc victory.

Let us all resolve, first to attain the grace of silence; second, to deem all fault-finding tnat does no good, a sin; third, to practice the grace and virtues of praise. —Stowe. One of the most Jolly of the Thurs day Hallowe’en parties was that of the Misses Ruth and Fnye Hammell. A witching maze of pumpkin heads, jack-o'lanterns, autumn leaves and barvest-home products, beautified the home and provided the true setting. A den was made into a witch's abode, and here Mrs. Jennie Smith of Portland presided as fortune teller. The Misses Ruth and Fay Hammell masked precisely alike, taxed the guessing powers of the guests, and the correct guesses determined the forming of "sides" for a contest In biting swinging apples. Bob Meibers was the lucky prize-winner in this contest. With a marshmallow in each cheek the guests told stories or sang as long as the marshmallows remained in their mouths, and much merriment was created by this. There was music and dam ing. and tempting refreshments. all thoroughly enjoyed by the following: Juanita Bocb, Mary Fileinger, Grace Butler, Ruth and Alma Bowers. Huth and Faye Hammell; Bob Meibers. Sam Miller, Walter Corbett, Clyde Hendricks. Sherman Beerv, Dwight laichot. Merle Teeple and Forest Vail.
