I Adorney Dickens, of Marion, was n the city’ Thursday looking after business. He represents the plaintiff in the case of Richards vs. the Bluffon Artificial Ice Company which was tried here during the last term of court. Quite a number of our citizens are making preparations to attend the foot ball game between the Chicago and Ann Arbor teams on Thanksgiving. Dick France of this citv, will play in the game which will be’for the championship of the west. lor Sale Thirty-two acres of , an( one half mile east of Preble. Here is a bargain as the land is among the best in Adams county. Good timber land. Frederick Koleeway, Freidheim, Ind. Dick Townsend, the up-to-date proprietor of the Burt House, received the election returns at the hotel Tuesday night for the benefit of his guests. The returns were also posted in the windows and were viewed by inanv people during the evening. If Dr. D. D. Clark seemed a little more nervous last Friday than usual he was to be excused, for even physicians are excitable when the family is increased by the appearance of an eleven pound boy, and that is just what happened at the doctor’s house last Friday. Only two new cases have been filed with the clerk of the court during the past week. They are, Kate E. Coverdale vs. James Coverdale, complaint for divorce; summons returnable November 21. D. M. Osborne <fc Co. vs. S. C. David et al. complaint on note, demand 885; summons returnable November 22. It is known that a strenous pull is being exerted to have the 160th Indiana regiment, of which Col. Guilder is commander, sent to’Manila. The war department and president ire being importuned and Governor Mount who is an especial friend of the colonel, is said to Tie using his influence to that end. Ft. Wayne Journal. Every metropolition newspaper in the country has during the past week published a likeness of Dick France, Decatur’s celebrated foot ball player now right gaurd for the U. of M. team. Dick clearly outclassed his opponents in the game played last Saturday at Evanston, Illinois, with the Northwestern University team. Now that stoves that have been set away for summer will again be brought into use, a word of caution may not be out of place, as to care in putting up pipes and making sure that the chimneys and all connections are safe, in order to prevent fire. And if any one has used the hiding place for money, it should be removed before the fire is kindled.

The "Players” Comedy company played “A Bitter Atonement” to a fair audience at Bosse's opera house Thursday evening. The play is a good one an „ the c( ;’ m Pany played their parts well. To-night they present the famous play "Damon and Pythias” and the opera house will no doubt have one of the largest crowds of the season. < The entertainment given by the Cameron Concert company at Bosse’s opera house last Friday evening was an excellent one and the audience was well pleased. Miss Cameron captivated the crowd with her lieautiful songs and handsome face. The rest of the program was also nicely rendered and the evening was pleasant to all. The LaPearl circus which showed here during the month of July, and | which was considered one of the best i and cleanest aggregations in the circus i line on the road, have madean assignI ment. On last Friday Mr. LaPearl j confessed judgment at Danville, Indiana, to the amount of 810,000. La .Pearl had the Lest circus band in the I world. Ihe Baptists of the state are reported to be lending hearty support to the movement which is under way to raise 84000 and purchase the Chautauqua grounds at Pine Lake, near Laporte.

Lower of Hicksville, Ohio, was the guest of his nephew, Joseph Lower and family, several days last week. While here Mr. Lower made this office a call and we found him a very pleas’ant, congenial gentleman. Almost four score years of age he still bears the reputation of being the ealiest riser in Hicksville. He is in excellent health and still transacts his ministerial duties with the same ease as he did fifty years ago: Unique Demonstration of Coffee.

The demonstration now going on at the store of Niblick it Co.. Monday to Saturday, during this week has been well patronized. The plan of giving away one-half pound with each sale of one and one-half pounds is an inducement to housewives. The O'Donohues claim their "Greater New York Coffees’’ are the finest imported, and their lady exhibitor can prove it in I the delicious coffee she is serving. A Tom Thumb wedding will be given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church, under the management of Mr s. S. E. Roebuck of Van Wert, ()hio, at Bosse’s opera Louse on Thursday evening, Nov. 17. This promises to be a most novel as well as a most enjoyable entertainment, and has drawn crowded houses whereverit has been given. Fifty children of the town from four to ten years of age, dressed to represent grown people will take part in the entertainment. Prices 10 and 15c. Remember the day and date. The women of Muncie have organized to start a movement against certain public improprieties. The special one to be stopped is the expectoration on public sidewalks by tobacco chewers. The executive committee of the federation has prepared a petition to the city council praying that body to enact an ordinance making it a misdemeanor for any one, “man or woman.” to expectorate tobacco juice on the sidewalks, streets or other public highways in the corporate limits of the city, and to provide a suitable penalty for violation of the measure. Pythian night, at Bosse’s ope. a house. On Friday night, Nov. 11, Sir Knight T. M. Brown will present John Bunn’s great five act play Damon and Pythias, or the Last of Friendship, elegantly staged with appropriate scenery and costly costumed, and interpreted by a superb company of artists. Manager Bosse has this put on expressly for the lodge in this city and surrounding towns. This will give you an opportunity to witness this grand production at popular prices 10, 20 and 30c. This is what the Chicago Journal says of M. Brown: “Mr. Brown in the character of Damon gave a strong and finished performance of this difficult part that showed careful study and masterly conception of the work. Keeps Folks Well. It is better to keep well than to get well, although when one is sick it is desirable to get well. When considered that eight-tenths of the ailments that afflict the American people are caused bv constipation, we shall realize why it'is that Baxter’s Mandrake Bitters “keeps folks well,” or if sick, enables them to get well. Baxters Mandrake Bitters cures constipation. Price 25 cents per bottle. Why not step in and get a bottle and by using it be assured of good health through the trving hot months. We sell it and guarantee it to give satisfaction or money refunded.- Page Blackburn, druggist.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR. A young married woman of Detroit tells this one on herself and laughs as heartily as any of her listeners. It occurred while she was recently visiting in a neighboring city and at a state dinner given in her honor. “You know,” she says, “that since I had the fever my crop of hair is short and light. The only relief to this condition is a switch, and I wear one that is admirably adapted to misleading the unsuspecting. The one trouble I have with it is because of poor anchorage. There is so little to pin it to that its stability is on a very precarious order. That was a beautiful dinner that was given me, the table handsomely decorated and all the guests in their best bibs and tuckers. Things were moving off rather ceremoniously and with the restraint toe common on such occasions. “The waiting maid leaned over me to take a plate, a button in her shirt waist became entangled in the hair which was mine by right of purchase, and when she stepped back my switch hung on that button like a scalp at the belt of an Indian brave. I knew nothing of the catastrophe and chattered industriously to the gentleman at my right. The maid showed rare presence of mind, clasped her hands over the great wad of hair and went out with all the dignity of an English butler. The lady at my left made a noisy attempt to suppress laughter. All eyes turned in our direction, and every napkin was suddenly employed as an extinguisher. Instinctively I reached for the back of my head, and it was gone. ‘Laugh,’ I shouted almost hysterically, ‘laugh. Don’t you think I know how funny and ridiculous it is?’ “Laugh they did. The ice was broken, and the dinner was a grand social hit.” —Detroit Free Press. MARKETS. CORRECTED BY J. D. HALE, GRAIN MERCHANT, DECATUR, IND.
