r C pi? F f ance ’ T , homas Haetling, L G. Ellingham and R. K. Erwin are iin attendance at the famous conven Ition of Democratic Clubs which is hi at Indianapolis this week Another oil well, probablv the best ever struck in Adams county came in last week on the Railing farm in Blue Creek township.

County Clerk Johnson is very sick with tonsilitis, with which troublesome malady he was taken very suddenly Tuesday evening. He was a little improved yesterday and will probably be about within a few days. Among the veterans of the old 89th regiment who are meeting here this week, we notice the pleasant countenance of Henry H. Hart, of Fort M jivne, who was for many years actively engaged in the milling business here. He reports democracy as being decidedly on top in Allen countv and says Bryan will make large and sweeping gains. Fred Mitchell, the colored man, who was killed on the C. & E.

Rather C. Mougey, of Portland well known here, will leave Saturday for a I trip to Paris, where he will visit two brothers whom he has not seen for i many years. He expects to be absent : about four months. | The Morgan divorce trial from Ge- ■ neva, has been requiring the atteni tion of the circuit court during the past two days and there seems to be some doubt whether or not the plaint- . iff, Ovando Morgan, will be favored by a lawful separation from his farni- , ly. Mr. Morgan is in the saloon busi- , ness at Geneva, and the testimony at times has been a little on the spicy order. Dick France received several telegrams and letters from Ann Arbor, last week asking him to again report ' at the college at that place, but after due deliberation he decided not to re turn, but instead to complete his i course at Indianapolis. Dick has been s a star on the Michigan foot ball team, and his abscense this year will be : keenly felt. He also received a very flattering offer to join the an indei pendent team at Greensburg at a sal- ; ary of $l5O per month. Dick says, however, he has given up the business i and will devote his future time to i studying dentistry. Nora Walters was born in Union township, Adams county, Indiana, , December 31.1880. She was united , in marriage to Jacob Debolt October , 17, 1895, died Sept. 16, 1900. She • was the daughter of Elijah and Esther A. Walters, the latter having preceded her to the heavenly home. A kind husband, father, three brothers and a . sister remain to mourn their loss. She | was a kind Christian lady and during • the days of suffering she showed how great was her faith. Her death was 1 due to paralvsis from which she suffered greatly. The remains were interred 1 at the Hoagland cemetery. > The Funniest StoryT : Sir Wilfrid Laurier once said that he considered the following the funniest story in the world. Do you agree with • him? A gentleman was once being taken over an idiot asylum. He asked an attendant how they knew when an idiot was considered to be sufficiently restorj ■ ed to sanity to be discharged. “Oh,” said the attendant, “it is easily . managed. We take them into a yard where there are several troughs. We , turn on the taps and then give the s idiots buckets to bail out the water , and empty the troughs. Many of theta i go on bailing away while the tap keeps I running, but them that isn’t idiots ■ stops the tap."
