construction of gruvel roads has been construed in the case of the Board vs. Brannaman, 169 Ind., page 80, in which the court says: “The board cannot exceed the power with which it has teen invested, the indebtedness created by construction of macadam roads is in no snse a liability against the county, but is an indebtedness against tlie property in the particular township or taxing district.” There is no provision in the law authorizing tlie board of commissioners to publish a notice for receiving bids for the printing of gravel road bonds, and a notice ordered by the board for such purpose would be a nulity, and an allowance by the board ; for printing such notice of receiving : bids for furnishing bonds would be : unlawful under Section 5950, Burns 1908. in other words, the Herald, posing as the champion of honesty and fair dealing in public office, suggests that ! the board of commissioners should, without authority, in open violation of I the law now in force, advertise for bids j for the printing of bonds for gravel i roads, the allowance of which bills would under the statute be a criminal i offense, j There is no provision in the law 1 that in the general requisition for supplies upon which bids are received by the board of commissioners each year in December shall be included bids for bonds on gravel roads, for the reason that the building of such roads by the board is in no sense county business. Register next Monday. It’s your last chance to qualify for voting at the November election. Don’t throw away your right of suffrage. The Herald announces the opening of the campaign here tonight by the , Hon. C. W. Fairbanks, but they fail to I say what party he represents. Has he also joined the citizens’ ranks? The sworn statement of the Daily Democrat filed with the postmaster last evening as required by law shows the net paid circulation of this paper to be 2,671. Merchants who advertise in this paper will reach every nook and corner of Adams county. Try it. The democratic meeting at Geneva last evening was an enthusiastic one i as are all those being held over the county. The campaign will be interesting during the next four weeks but there is but one assured result, a democratic victory, by an increased majority. The Berne Witness has started another one and will continue their campaign of mystery by now doubting to what use the SIO,OOO borrowed by the county is to be put. The money was borrowed last year and the ordinance itself says the money is to be used for paying for the flood loss of the spring of 1913. Nearly every county in the middle west did likewise. Terrible mystery, wasn't it? President Wilson's proclamation calling for a national day of prayer on October 4 for the cessation of war in Europe probably is without precedent in this or any other country. But, if so, it is the most beautiful precedent that has ever been set in any nation. There are prayers for peace in our prayerbooks, and days of prayer for the speedy termination of wars have been often fixed by official proclamation in countries engaged in them: but for a neutral nation of* more than 90,000,000 of people to get down on its knees and pray for peace in other countries will be one of the most impressive, as well as one of the mo c t unusual, spectacles ever presented on earth. We believe everybody in the United States will offer up a prayer on that day in the earnest spirit of altruism. which the president’s message suggests. And it anything can make a path for peace “where men can see none,” we believe unselfish supplication from the heart of a great country can open the door of divine compassion.—The Baltimore Sun.

WORLD RECORD WAS LOWERED (CONTINUER FROM PAGE ONE) Gallogly drove one of the ears in the place of Basso, who is In a Kalamazoo hospital, and Ike Archer drove another, all the Decatur boys making good showing for skill and nerve.

The races concluded at 4 o'clock and the big crowd enjoyed the midway and the exhibits. Among those which attracted much attention was that of the government concerning parcel post and how to ship. Employes at the postoffice were in attendance and explained and handed out circulars. There were numerous others. Everybody had a good time and enjoyed the event thoroughly. Today is the banner day, and tomorrow promises to be equally as good. . The Berne and Geneva bands arrived ths morning and the trains coming into the city were all packed. It is estimated that the crowd on the grounds will reach 25.000 this afternoon. oABOUT THE SICK.

The home of Dr. Elizabeth Bums, corner of First and Monroe streets, with its broad veranda, was the scene of a charming party yesterday afternoon and evening given by her daughter, Miss Mabel Burns, in compliment to her aunt, Miss Alice Burns, of Fort Wayne, 't he party was a miscellaneous shower for Miss Alice, who is to be married October 6 to John Hilker of Fort Wayne. The bride-elect has visited here on several occasions and the news of her marriage and the attending festivities is of much interest locally, aside from the fact that the party was given here. The bridal colors of pink and white were carried out in the decorations and the dinner. Wide strands of fluted crepe paper in pink and white, were draped curtain effect, at the sides of the wide doorways. The lights were hooded in pink and white. The porch where the girls were entertained on their arrival at 2:10 o'clock from Fort Wayne was gaily decorated with pennants, poted plants, and the porch swings, ■hairs and other seats were made comfortable and cozy with cushions. Japinese lanterns were hung for lighting later in the evening. On arrival the Tarty first busied themselves with hemming a dozen towels for the guest >f honor. At 6 o’clock the delicious chicken dinner was served in four -ourses. The table was especially prety. Its long length extended through he archway through tw-o rooms. Twisted and fluted pink and white ■repe paper streamers were draped in he archway and about the chandeiers suspended from its center. From he corners of the table, the stream?rs were draped to the archway in the ■enter. At one end of the table, the bride was given a place of honor, the ■hair being prettily trimmed in pink nd white. The centerpiece of the fade was a basket of three dozen exquisite deep pink roses from a Chicago lorist, the roses being a new flower mown as the Mrs. Russell rose. The ablecloth had a lovely border of girl leads peeping from their hiding ■laces behind pink hearts, around vhfch winged cupids were flying. The ’read and butter plates, the napkins ’nd the entire dinner set were in pink ■nd white to match the table cover 'order. The little pink nut baskets, riven as favors, were adorned with he pink and white hearts and cupids nd on the handles were tied the place ■ards, handpainted with a wreath of link roses. The ice cream was mould’d in the form of a pink rose and was served with cake in white hearihapes. After dinner the gifts were presented in a basket trimmed in pink. Music for the party was furnished by Miss Helen Mommer. pianist, and Miss Trace Barker, violinist, both being lighly talented and accomplished. The □arty was one of the prettiest and nost enjoyable given here in some ’inie.

EINAL EFFORTS TO TURN WINGS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) center there is practically no change whatever, each army battering the other with their artillery. On the southeast wing, however, there have been sharp engagements which resulted in a slight advance being made by the allies. Iwindon, Oct. I—(Special to Daily Democrat)—An official wireless received from Berlin states that Russian troops who were endeavoring to cross the Carpathians in small columns have been utterly defeated. These troops are a great distance from the main theater of war and ft was thought their intention was to frighten the Hungarian population. On the main battle ground the German and Austrian forces have compelled the Russians on both sides of the Weichzl to retreat. Strong detachments of Russian cavalry have also been defeated near Biecz and also to the north of Weichzl. Rome. Oct. I—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —With the large gun manufacturles working night and day to finish the supply of modern cannon and other war necessities for the Italian army it is expected that the outfitting will be completed in a couple of weeks and Italy will then undoubtedly take her first steps in preparation for entering the war. o PAID BY DEATH (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) of acquaintances. “The accident which was the cause of his death took place at Rome City on Sunday afternoon, July 5, while he with a party of friends, were in bathing. In endeavoring to make a high dive he struck the bottom with terrific force, breaking his ne’ek in two places. He was taken to the sanitarium at the summer resort, but early Monday morning was removed to the St. Joseph hospital in this city, where the best medical aid the city affords was given him. “He seemed to rally following the operation but he remained in the same condition until three weeks ago when he seemed to be losing strength. At his own request he was removed to his •home, where he gradually became weaker. Ever since the accident he was paralyzed from the chest on down and at no time did it seem that he was suffering any great pain. “He remained conscious until the end and gradually fell into a deep sleep from which he never awakened. The deceased held a responsible position as brew master at the Centlivre Brewing company’s plant following the death of his father, Peter Nussbaum, which occurred fifteen months ago, and was well liked by all those who were employed with him. “Mr. Nussbaum was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic church of this city, and also of the St. Aloysius and St. Barromeous societies of the same congregation. He was also connected with the Elks’ lodge and the Fort Wayne Commercial club. “Besides his mother and a host of friends, he is survived by six sisters. Mrs. Theodore Nebel, of Chicago; Mrs. Edward Derheimer, of this city; Mrs. Bernard Spaeth, of Davenport, Iowa: and the Misses Mary, Helen and Juliette Nussbaum of this city, and three brothers, Joseph, Victor and Herman, all of Fort Wayne. “Funeral services will be held Satur day. the exact time to be decided upon later.” o HOME FROM CONVENTION.
