Stolen—A reward of one dollar will be paid for information leading to the arrest of the thief who stole the wire and posts from around the Robinson graves at the Backestoe cemetery. Any one so unprincipled as to steal from a grave should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Information should be addressed to Alvia Robinson, Decatur, Ind. A thrifty old man has been making money selling mineral water to Bluffton people at 50 cents a jug. A local druggist who analyzed it is of the opinion that diluted sulphuric acid and iron are the principal tinctures used in the water and they are placed there to give the water the desired rotten egg taste. The old man claims the water comes from lowa, but the probability is that it is common rain water doctored to sell. The rise in the price of oil, with indications of it going higher, adds a degree of interest to local production which is quite perceptible. When a representative of the Standard stated a year ago that oil would go to a dollar inside of a year he didn’t miss it much. The reason assigned then was that as soon is contracts were made with consumers the price would advance, and so, it seems it has. The supply now is less than the demand.

The 17th annual excursion of the old settlers association of Indiana and Ohio is announced to leave this city at 7:21 on the morning of September 27, over the Chicago & Erie railway. These annual excursions have gradually become the events of the season for many of our people, especially the old settlers. The first excursion of this kind was given seventeen years ago and was originated by Uncle John Rupright ofthiscounty. No doubt a large crowd will attend this year’s reunion from old Adams. Will Wertzberger, member of the famous thirty-third Michigan volunteers. who took an important part in the battle of Santiago, arrived at Benton Harbor. Michigan, where he had enlisted, last Sunday evening. His father, Michael Wertzberger, was there to meet him. The regiment will be discharged today and Mr. Wertzberger will start for home with his son at once. They will no doubt arrive to-morrow. Vv ill has certainly proven himself a hero. He enlisted at the first call, and was sent in a few weeks to Santiago, where the battle was then raging’ and his company were soon in the midst of it. After Santiago had fallen it was the same old story which has been told by nearly every soldier who has been in Cuba. Malarial and yellow fever set in. In the course of time Will was removed to this country and placed in the government hospital at Boston where he remained until last Friday. Will's friends in Adams county gladly welcome him home.

A CRITICAL TIME During the Battle of Santiago. Sick or Well a Rush Night and Day. The packers at the battle of Santiago de Cuba were all heroes. Their heroic efforts in getting ammunition and rations to the front saved the day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, from Santiago, de Cuba, on July 23rd, says: “We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain’s Colie, Cholera and Diarrhceea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; In fact, I sincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect saviour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a good supply of this medicine for our pack-train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life.” The above letter was written to the manufacturers of this medicine, the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa.

Dr. Wm. M. Giffin of the Chicago Normal will be in our city September 17. While here he will give two talks to our teachers on "Methods of teaching Arithmetic'’ and a popular lecture in the evening on "The Unruly, The Dull, The Born Short. What Shall we do with Them ?” Dr. Giffin comes to us highly recommended by Supt. Brittson who spent the summer at the Chicago Normal. Mr. Brittson says of him: “He is the most popular man in the Normal and one of the very best lecturers of the west. He has trained at least twenty-five percent, of the Chicago teachers in mathematics, and during the last summer had under his charge teachers from twen-ty-nine different states of the Union, a number from Canada, Mexico and England. No teacher of the county can afford to miss the two talks on “Methods of Teaching Arithmetic'’ and no citizen of our city should miss the evening lecture. Price of admission for the two talks and the lecture fifty cents. For the lecture only twenty-five cents. Notice to Holders of County Orders.
