this city. In one precinct where there are several hundred votes but twenty-two men and seven women had qualified. The lack of interest * is not a good omen and the results of the first registration will leave much . work to be done during the next four weeks or the November vote will be exceedingly light. The Cartwright faction of the re--1 publican party in Jay county has cast i the Kist-Hawkins faction overboard ' and in so doing have stirred up such , a hornet's nest that about everybody ' connected with the old machine are , in danger of being •’stung” before the fight is finished. The Republican, edited by A. A. Kist goes after the Cartwright crowd without gloves and in reply to the charges that they are party wreckers proceeds to prove that on the other hand the old guard themselves are responsible for the disaffection in the ranks which add- ’ ed to the disapproval of the normalcy ■ program makes a republican victory • in Jay county next to impossible. i The announcement that Fred Bell has severed his business relations in this city and will soon move to Fort i Wayne, makes a void in the live-wires

that will be hard to fill. Fred hash been one of the outstanding figures in the ’'make-good*' class of Bluffton tnen and has always gone about the business in hand in a business-like manner. He served as president of the street fair and as president of the chamber of commerce with dis- 1 Unction. At present he is chairman of the Wells county democracy and is getting into the stride of political affairs as he has that of business. Fred is a likable fellow, full of pep and will be greatly missed in this city.—Bluffton Banner. The visit to Decatur of Mr. McKee and Mr. Farmer has been postponed one week. They will probably be here September 21st to continue ■ their Investigations. This visit will be the most important made for they will require real facts and figures and our boasted cooperation must be proven. That it will be we have not the slightest doubt for we have itn- ■ plicit faith in our citizenship and we do not believe that any person will injure the (ommunity by seeking to take advantage of the opportunity. 1 Let’s put Adams county on the map by being selected as the best spot in the United States for the location of this home and school. It will soon be square up to us. The CPizens Telephone Company contemplates converting their local system into an up-to-date and modern one, giving the very best service possible and adding to our splendid city one of the greatest conveniences possible. The directors are now working out the plans and seeking by personal investigation the best aid most saitsfactory system now in use. The improvements if made w ill necessitate r.n investment of many thousand dollars and will require a slightly increased rate for which you will more than get value received by improved set vice. Our progressive people are willing to pay for what they get and we are sure the efforts of the company will be met willingly by their patrons. When the directors have completed their investigations and found the costs they will put the proposition squarely and fairly up to you before making their final decision one way or the other. You want Decatur to be the best town in the- world and here is one decided improvement that should be made. We hope they succeed. > + + <- + + 4- , i- + + 4 , + 4 ,, i , 'F b REGISTER TODAY + ♦ * + + Have you registered? + ♦ You can do so until nine •> + o'clock tonight. Be sure to do + ♦ this.

At an early hour word came from the sick chamber in the White House that Mrs. Harding was “resting easily and that her condition remained unchanged.” This followed a night of anxious watching, during the early hours of which complications developed which caused Dr. C. E. Sawyer, physician, to the president and Mrs. Harding, to issue an official bulletin describing Mrs. Harding's condition as “critical” and stating that her recovery was not yet assured. Four physicians and a nurse remained at Mrs. Harding's bedside until after 3 a. m. today. At least one of the doctors will be at her side, constantly until the crisis in her illness has passed. Secretary of War Weeks, who called early at the White House today, said Mrs. Harding seemed better this morning than yesterday. "Mrs. Harding's temperature is somewhat lower today and she seems stronger,” said Weeks. A bulletin from the attending physicians was expected shortlly. Attorney General Daugherty, who spent the entire night at the White House said on leaving early this morning that Mrs. Harding appeared to hnve passed a “fairly comfortable night” but that her condition was “ex, tremeiy grave." Daugherty was pale and worn, having sat up most of the night. Speeding from Rochester, Minn., is Dr. Charles Mayo, famous surrgeon. He was summoned last night after a consultation among the other doctors attending. Dr. George T. Harding, the president's brother, also is on his way from Columbus, O. The summons to Mayo gave rise to the belief that a surgical operation might be necessary to save Mrs. Harding’s life. • in attendance with Dr. Sawyer were his son. Dr. Carl W. Sawyer. Dr. Joel T. Boone, medical officer of the presidential' yacht Mayflower, and Dr. John Finney of Baltimore, who was hastily called in last night. Mayo is due in Washington early Sunday. President Hording was up at daybreak having been sent to bed by Dr.
