An Old Shoemaker 1 —was buying from us the third pair of our Chrome Waterproof Shoes and he made this remark, “I suppose you wonder why I don’t make my own shoes and 1 am going to tell you. I couldn’t build a better shoe than this for $6.00, that's why.” Want To See Them? $3.50 here. CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE. AT THE SIGN OF THE BIG SHOE

Homer Lower, of Warren, Indiana was here today visiting his father who has been very ill for two months with Brights disease. The plate glass for the front of the new Schafer block have arived and the the handsome new block will soon be ready for occupancy. Prize fighters often jump rope to get into condition, and we have always wondered, why they didn't do some useful work instead. On the other hand, there is the poor man. who is imposed on by his ri< h kin. bearing the imposition bravely in the hope of future reward. Judge Smith has returned from Bluffton where he conducted court for several days in the absence of Judge Eichhorn who Is acting a special judge in the Bell case at Indi: napolis. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

George Klnzle returned to Convoy today to attend the funeral services of his mother, held this afternoon. There is no doubt that a reward will sharpen a detective’s faculties a good deal, and every one is more or less that way. William Blackburn was able to come down town today for the first time since last Thursday. He has been ill of stomach trouble. Stewart Niblick arrived home yesterday from Chicago, where he lias been attending Rush Medical college. H.o will get about a month’s vacation.

Attorney Shafer Peterson has been busy for several days preparing a brief in the case of Mathias Miller vs. The Berne Hardware company. It is probable that the fair association may add to their big race program for fair week a county run as several requests have been made for sneh a race. The Bluffton street fair next week promises to be the usual big success and many will attend from here. The Hartford City band has been employed for the week. Several important matters will come up this evening at the regular meeting of the Decatur Merchants’ association, among them being the closing of stores during fair week. Dr. C. V. Connell of this city was at Fort Wayne last evening to attend the meeting of the Northeastern Indiana Veterinarians' Medical association. The meeting was held at the Wayne hotel. The Wallace-Hagenbeck circus showed at Portland yesterday. A card > from one of the busines managers says they were more than pleased with the attendance here, which was one of the best of the year. Carlisle Flanders, whose serious illness for several days has been the cause of much worry to his friends, continues to improve very slowly. He slight relapse yesterday evening?*’ but rested well during the night, and it is believed will continue to improve under the treatment. Robert Peterson, who has been working as a linotype operator on the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, was here today, leaving this afternon for Bloomington, where he will enter the state university for his third year. His brother, Dwight, of this office will leave Sunday for the same place to enter the freshman class. Both boys will work their way through college and are deserving of due credit for their efforts. Mrs. Bruce Patterson will leave Saturday evening for a several weeks’ visit with her parents in Arkansas. Mr. Patterson, who is attending the school of instruction of the American Tobacco company at Cleveland will not be home for U month and will probably not have a permanent territory for a week or two ■ after that. He hopes to secure this , territory and if he does the family will continue to reside here. , Henry Beil made a “shirt-tail shoot" down an alley near the corner of Baldwin stret and Central avenue last evening, when he was caught red-hand-ed peeping into the window' of the home of Dan Smith and family. Being a neighbor of the Smith family it seems that Mr. Beil wished to pay them a visit before retiring and when he was undressed, with the exception of his night shirt, he stepped over to the Smith window, where Mr. Smith saw him. Mr. Smith gave chase and ran Beil down an alley for about a hundred feet, when he caught the latter and held him until the arrival of Night Officer Evans. Beil fairly flew down the alley with his shirt-tail flapping in the wind. No charges have yet been filed, but the case is pending investigation. —Bluffton Banner. It has arrived. What has arrived? Why. the prize money for the two lonesome but faithful Berne boys who entered into the county fly-contest last July. In the whole county the two Berne boys were the only fellow's who had enough snap in them to go for the prize. The two boys were Elmer Liechty and Paul Allspaw. the former presenting the most flies. The prize money amounts to four and three dollars respectively — almost enough to purchase a little coaster wagon. Although the money was delayed for a considerable length of time, it has finally arrived and now the boys are made happy once more for having gone into- the fly contest—which, by the way. is a mighty worthwhile thing. At least most folks wish that every boy and girl in the county had entered the campaign against the filthy flies, now that summer has set m and has put the “pep’’ into the pesky pests.—Berne Witness.
