Sintered at the Postotflce In Decatur. Indiana, as second-class matter. The New York bankers have reduced the amount they propose to loan tlie allies five hundred million dollars. the original amount having been a billion. Why argue over such a paltry sum? Public sale days are being held in western cities and with great success. In one city the sales now once a month average more than thirty thousand dollars, including the sale of live stock, merchandise and even real estate, offered at public auction. The idea is unique and at least«worth investigation. The Bell trial proceeds and is attracting some interest, the star witnes for the state, “Bud” Gibson, being the headliner yesterday. He testified that Bell and Adams gave him money with which to buy votes, and also told how easily he changed the tally sheets to suit himself. If he could change the tally sheets, why should Bud have wasted any money for votes? James I’. Goodrich of Winchester, is now a full-fleldged candidate for the g. o. p. nomination for governor. Nearly all the standpat papers of the state have this week carried his picture with a two column write-up that reads very much like paid advertisement. Well, Jim is slated all right for the nomination, just as the same gang is backing the candidacy of James Eli Watson for the nomination for the United States senate.—Portland Sun. No thinker believes that the progressives, who quit the republican party when they found themselves utterly out of harmony with the machine methods of the leaders, will return to the republican party and bow the knee to leadership of the very men whom they openly accused of outraging public sentiment and all that goes to make for honest political methods. And neither does the sane man believe that they will come to the democrats unless the party is as progressive as President Wilson.— Rochester Sentinel. The Jay county council has appropriated a quarter million dollars for a new court house and no one acquainted with the conditions of that great county, will dispute the fact that they needed the improvement. They have needed- it for years, but it has been delayed because the party in power was afraid to spend the money, realizing that the increased tax nec-

The present price for wheat is $1.35 per 100 pounds. Everything is bought and sold by the pound. The settlers in this vicinity are mostly Mormons. They are a good, sociable class of people. They are hard-working, and know how to make money. One seldom sees any money here, however. All business is transacted by check. The checks are all good, but actual money seems scarce. I do my banking busines with a bank thirty-five miies from where we live. We can hear the coyotes howl nearly every night, and for a “tenderfoot" it is enough to make your hair raise" until you get used to it. Thky are perfectly harmless and would not

attack a grown person. I have spent several days fishing, with my uncle, and say, what sport! Think of having a three-pound “speckled beauty" tugging at 200 feet of line, and the full of reeling him in (sometimes). There are three different kinds of trout here, salmon trout, native trout and brook trout, all speckled and “gamey.” The duck season opens October 1, and there are so many ducks that the people donlt call it sport to kill them. Thon there are jack rabbits, and cotton-tails by the dozens, and plenty of sage brush and sage hens. There are quite a number of deer in the mountains, but there is no open season for them in this country. Fruit, we can buy Red Jonathan apples for seventy-five cents per bushel and fine large Elberta peaches, from Utah for SI.OO per bushel. I am going to store about ten bushels of apples in the school house basement for winter. We all have excellent health since we have been here. At first the elevation bothered me and made me pant like a “lizard.” but I have gotten over that and I like the dry climate. None of us have had a sign of a cold since landing here.

THE COURT NEWS Residents Along Wabash River in Adams and Jay Counties and Also MERCER COUNTY, OHIO File Petition Asking That River be Dredged— Lands Overflowed. A voluminous petition ofknore than 177 pages, in which there are names of hundreds of land owners along the Wabash river, in Adams and Jay counties, Indiana, and Mercer county, Ohio, was filed in the circuit court this afternoon by Attorneys F. S. Armautrout of Geneva, Abe Simmons of Bluffton and O. J. Meyers of Mercer county, Ohio. It asks that the Wabash river be widened, straightened and improved, and recommends that dredging machinery be used for the purpose. Some time ago, it is said, the river was dredged in Ohio to a point near the state line. Those living above the dredged point have been amply protected against floods, but those living along the part in Mercer county, Ohio, and Indiana, which was left undredged, have suffered heavily from floods, the narrow channel being insufficient to carry off the water, hence the petition to have the river dredged further.

Use the oldtime Sage Tea and Sulphur and nobody will know. You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy” at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe axe sold annually, says a well-known druggist here, because it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied. Those whose hair is turning gray, becoming faded, dr}’, straggly and tbin have a surprise awaiting them, because after one Or two applications the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful —all dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling l>air stops. This Is the age of youth. Gray-haired, unattractive folks aren’t wanted around, so get busy' with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur to-night and you'll be. delighted with yqqr dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days. — — . , Democrat Want Ads Pay.
