Mr. and Mrs. John Vail have returnen from Cardwell, /io., for the summer. •As a man grows older, he finds his desire to meet a lot of nice people ! s waning a good dea|. If a boy is big enough, strong enough and willing enough a job ‘s always open to him. A social dance was enjoyed at the K. of C. hall last eveping. The usual good crowd attended. There may be no judges at the debate between a man and his wife, but it is easy to tell who wins. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Weldy left thiji morning for Kendallville, where they will visit with' their son, John Weldy. A. C. Lawrence of the Lawren-e Electric company, has returned from Rockford, Ohio, where he was bidding on a large contracting job.

Miss Agnes Huttinger returned to Monmouth after shopping here. Paul Hooper, Jacob Martin, Henry Dellinger and Marsh Burdg were visitors at Van/Wert yesterday attending the Wilson manslaughter trial. One o’ th’ hardest things about bein’ a farmer is findin’ excuses t' come t’ town. Look out fer the feller they call “Honest John.” —Abe Martin. Mrs. Walter Robison and Mips Leali Hensley motored home from Fort Wayne yesterday, where tfiey visited a couple of days with Mrs. Robison's parents. When you see your daughter growing up the image of her mother, you think of the way some smart young man is going to get the same thing you did. I The city treasurer’s office was a busy place today, being crowded with electric light and water consumers who desired to escape the ten per cent penalty. When a man gets up with an enlarged cranium, a thick tongue, sick stomach and aching eyes, we fail tn see how he can interpret the doings of the night before as a good time. Henry Stevens met with a pain-til accident while unloading coal at the Bowers-Niblick yard. His middle linger was caught against the iron coal chute and a large piece of coal and broken. Great was the disappointment among the students of the public schools toqhy, when instead of sunshine and warm breezes a cold drizzling rain set in and necessitated the postponement of the day of festivities which had been planned at Steele’s park, and to which they had looked forward for the past several weeks.

F. W. Bowen went to Fort Wayne today noun. J. F. Lachot of Fort Wayne was here op business today. Henry Dirkson, sr., of St. John's was a shopper ♦‘lire today. Tlie Elks' special left the interurban station here at 2:20 well filled, for the festivities at Fort Wayne. Where is the fellow who said that there wouldn't be any rain this year and that the crops would all be a failure? Mrs. Thebe Borton of Alliance, 0., has arrived here for a several weeks' visit witli her son, Rev. Borton, and family and the visit is being thoroughly enjoyed by every one concerned. The Haugk building is ready for the finishing touches. The roof is new bping put on and the brick floor for the west room which is to be used by the Kalver & Sikes garage will be put in soon. It is a handsome block. Fred Fruchte has purchased the Haynes automobile from Joseph & Lang and will proceed to enjoy the fine roads of Adams county. The car is one of the good ones and Fred is delighted with his purchase. Mrs. H. L. Coverdale, who is making her home with her daughter, Mrs. George Dutcher, nortli of the city, is very low. She was very low last evening and it was thought at times that she could not survive through the night. About midnight she rallied hut this morning very little improvement was noted. Nick Miller, the well known barber at the Hotel Murray cut two fingers of his left hand so severely last evening that he is detained from work for a day or two. One of the fingers was nearly severed and it was necessary to have several stitches taken to close the wound. He expects to be back at work by Saturday. Kalver & Sikes have been notified that it will be impossible for them to secure more than the number of cars allotted them, sixty-six, all of which have been sold. The Ford company will make this year 325,000 cars and have been unable to meet all the demands for cars even then. Isaac Peters of Bluffton is here f r a visit with the U. S. Drummond family and other relatives for several days. Tlie redoubtable “Tango Steve,” from whom Mrs. Thimler was granted a divorce, is now a prisoner in the Wells county jail, awaiting a hearing next Monday, before Judge Eichhorn on a charge of child desertion. He was arrested last week in Fort Wayne, upon his return there after an absence of several months. He has been unable to furnish bond in the sum of SSOO. The marriage ties severed Tuesday by Judge Smith were formed a little more than a year ago, following an elopement to Michigan. Thimler had been located here as a dancing teacher. Mrs. Thimler and her little son are now living with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Dowe Grove, west of Bluffton.—Bluffton News. A traveling salesman, believed to be E. L. Schall of Chicago, age about 40 years, and a representative of the Chicago branch of the United States Tire company, died yesterday on New York Central train No. 157, due in Kendallville at 10:13 a. m. Death was the result of apoplexy. He boarded the train at Waterloo, where he was apparently in his usual health. He gave Conductor Shank, in charge of the train, a ticket bound for Corunna. When he did not get off the train at Corunna and Conductor Shank made his rounds to collect the tickets he thought his passenger was asleep, and shook him several times, when it was discovered he was dead. A traveling salesman who sat in an adjoining seat said that Mr. Schall never 1 made a struggle. His death proved a shock to those on the train. Q For Wayne & Springfield Ry. Company. TIME TABLE.

5 MODERN JACK SPRATS. , The ol ( j nursery rhyme wherein it was told that “Jack Sprat could eat no fat and his wife could eat no lean, ’ and so betwixt them both they licked the platter clean,” has an equal in i modern life, according to the automo- » bile party, including Judge D. H. Smith, Attorneys L. C. DeVoss and t C. J. Lutz, Clerk Bleeke and T. H. Ernst, who went to Van Wert, Ohio, r to hear the murder trial yesterday. One of T. H. Ernst's deep-seated aversions is to tomatoes. Everybody > who knows Mr. Ernst, knows that ne verily despises tomatoes. Strange to 1 say, the only time he did eat toma- • toes he relished them, and says that he never enjoyed a feast so well, j That was during the civil war, when , the soldiers had been eight or nine . days without food. Mr. Ernst paid a [ dollar for a can of tomatoes and so ir > hardtacks, and he and his soldier friends ate them, and thought them good. He had never eaten tomatoes before or since. Th/ very smell of ' hot tomatoes sickens him. Therefore, when they went to a restaurant nt h Van Wert yesterday, and the first course included a bowl of steaming hot tomato soup, the rest of the party thought they had a “joke” on Mr. ■ Ernst. He turned palo and pushed - his bowl away. Later on. the joke took on even greater proportions 1 when a little dish of stewed tomato’s appeared for each one. The joke, 1 however unconsciously it was perpe- ' tratea by the cook, was getting a I ttie too strong for the rest of the party, too. Mr. DeVoss nor Judge Smith nor Mr. Lutz “fell” to the dish. Mr. Bleeke was the only game one of the bunch —or rather the only one hungry enough—and he—so the otners say—ate all the tomatoes served the crowd. He, however, insisted that he not eat Mr. Lutz’ dish, and that each one contained such a small portion that it would not make a good bite. The fact that he served as driver for the pars’, may have had something to do with making him hungry enough to relish the tomatoes. o CITY LIGHT BILLS.

+ VEGETABLE CALOMEL 4—— Vegetable calomel, extract of the root of the old-fashioned may-apple plant, does not salivate. As a liver Stimulator, it’s great. It’s a peri feet substitute for ordinary calomel (mercury); in fact, it’s better, because its action is gentle instead ' of severe and irritating — and it leaves no mean, disagreeable aftereffects. Physicians recognize this and prescribe may-apple root (po--1 dophyllin, they call it) daily. • Combined with four other standard, all-vegetable remedies, mayapple root may now be had at most 1 anv druggist’s in convenient sugar- • coated tablet form by asking for • , Sentanel Laxatives. If you forget the name, ask for the box that has the picture of the soldier on it. i These tablets are small, easy to i take and are really wonderful little performers. They quickly clean out the poiI sons that are causing you headache, constipation, sour stomach, biliousness, dizzy spells, bad breath and coated tongue. ’ They are mild. They never , gripe. And they are a bowel tonic as well as a cleanser and liver regulator; A 10c box should last 1 one several weeks. A Physician’s a trial package (4 doses) will bo mailed you free if you write mentioning this advertisement. The Sentanel Remedies Co- 802 Madi- . son Ave., Covington, Ey.

The time saved reduces the expense and increases the yield. If you cannot take advantage of the opportune time for cultivating because, at that time, a cultivator is hard to adjust or is disabled by worn parts, you can never make up the loss. Buying a J. 1.
