A report came to Kendallville on Wednesday from Orange township that a Mr Smith, candidate for supervisor, although a republican in politics and nominated by his party, was elected on the democratic ticket. in some manner there was a mistake made when the ballots were printed. R, R. Ernsberger, who visited at Ada, Ohio, the first of the week, had the pleasure of a visit with Frank B. Willis, elected governor of Ohio, on the republican ticket. Mr. Willis taught a school which Mr. Ernsberger attended some years ago and the two are very warm friends. —Bluffton News. Work on the new block on Madison street is progressing. Julius Haugk is building a handsome double business block there and will have it ready for occupancy by early spring. The foundation work will begin within a few days and an effort made to get the building under cover before bad weather begins. Ernst Isch, living east of Bluffton, near the Adams-Wells county line, Tuesday marketed 1,000 bushels of new’ corn and the remarkable part of the transaction was that the 1,000 bushels of corn were all shelled. Farmers report that it is unusual for new corn to be marketed shelled this early in the season. Mr. Isch’s corn brought him over $l,lOO. A new’ fad has been taken up by society in Washington, D. C„ nothing less than a reversion to the bicycle. Several of the so-called “smart set” have been seen on Washington streets clad in khaki riding costumes and taking long jaunts on their wheels. Until now the use of the wheel has of late years been confined almost exclusively to messenger boys. Janies R. Fleming, democrat, and Charles O. Weimer, republican, both of Portland, had an exciting contest for the joint senatorship of Jay and Randolph counties, Jimmy winning in Ihe official count by ten little votes. Fleming carried Jay county by 511 votes and lost Randolph by 501. That’s going some, but one is “yust as good as a tousand,” as the old citizen here used to say. Evidently the earth is not the only member of tlie solar system which is in a disturbed condition -at the present time, for the sun also shows the existence of unusual activity. Photographs of the sun, show distinctly a large dark spot on the surface. The unusual size of the spot is shown by the fact that although the sun was not shining brightly at the time the photographs were made, the spot was shown distinctly. • A local nimrod shot a rabbit in a nearby woodland, which apparently was afflicted with the hoof and mouth disease. The rabbit’s mouth was badly infected as were the feet, and the animal was becoming emaciated. The rabbit was shot near Wolcottville and if it was afflicted with the dreadful scourge which is sweeping the country, it is very likely tlie germs of the disease have been scattered over much territory in this section. —Kendallville Sun.

The state veterinarians in charge of the Lima quarantine district for the extermination of hog cholera, made another trip to Washington township, Tuesday, went to five farms where sick hogs showed symptoms of cholera were examined. At four of the farms hogs were killed and post mortems showed that the animals were suffering from cholera. No hogs were treated Tuesday, but the veterinarians will return Thursday to treat at least a part of the animals in the infected herds, in an effort to prevent a further spread.

Steady and substantial progress has marked the work of the Boy Scouts of America throughout the country during the past four mouths, according to the report of Chief Scout Executive James E. West, prepared for a recent meeting of the executive board of the national council.

September was one of the biggest months in the history of the movement, practically every department of the work showing an increase over the same month ot the preceding year.

MONDAY NIOHT ONLY Queenie Trenary, who impersonates "ReUy Tolliver” in H. M. Hooper’s "Trail of the Lonesome pine,” which comes to the Opera house next Monday night, had previous to the reosnt flood disaster at Daytcpi, Ohio, one of tho most beautiful baritone voices ever possessed by a woman — not the disgustingly, unfeminiue, "crupy” voice one usually expects to hear when a "lady baritone” is exploited, but a voice of such range and clearness of intonation as to astonish the most blase patron of the night opera productions in which site appeared through exposure during that never-to-be-forgotten horror, the flood of 1913, htus cost her both fame and fortune as an operatic star, her wonderful dramatic ability is proving as great a commercial asset as was her singing voice previous to the disaster. As will be remembered, thousands of people were robbed not only of worldly goods, but of lives as well, so Miss Trenary is really more fortunate than scores of other residents of that unlucky city. o STRAYED OR STOLEN—Bay horse, 4 years old, missing since last Tuesday night.

Conversation is something more than mere Talk — and it is just this “something more" that often makes the difference between delightful companionship and boredom. To speak wisely, of course, we must think wisely; to do both we must read wisely —and for busy people this means that they must concentrate their reading. A million of the busiest professional and business men have concentrated on THE LITERARY DIGEST. They find that all of the real news of the world is focused in it weekly. In a couple of hours’ reading they learn the facts of everything worth recording, without editorial bias or coloring. Readers of THE LITERARY DIGEST know what they are talking about. The Literary Digest is printing the most reliable, interesting, and all-sided chronicle of the great European War. If you follow the conflict through the DIGEST you will avoid all the confusion and contradiction of the newspaper reports — you will get a clear-eyed view of every phase. Be neutral, don’t talk war—but if you must, be sure you have the story straight, get the facts from The Jiterary Digest ALL NEWS-DEALERS—TO-DAY--10 CENTS FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY (Publishers of the Famous NEW Standard Dictionary) NEW YORK
