Hale, and John Anderson a popular business man and druggist at Geneva. Near relatives were the only invited guests at the wedding which was elaborately celebrated at tlie Hale home. A wedding trip to Cincinnati and the east was enjoyed previous to setting down to an already furnished house on Shackley street where they will reside and be at home to their friends. Mrs. D. E. Studabaker of Bluffton was in the city last Friday evening to attend a regular meeting of the Womans Relief Corps. Mrs. Studabaker is the district inspector for this order and her report of the work as exemplified by the Decatur lodge will certainly be very complimentary. One candidate was initiated after which an interesting program of music and readings was rendered. Refreshments were served and the evening was one of the most enjoyable in the history of the local lodge. Some of our exchanges in neighboring towns say that the festive wire fence swindler is abroad in the land and farmer friends had better look out. His game is to sell a bill of fence at a ridiculously low price, and offer to throw in a fanev gate if the victim puts up $lO or S2O cash, and that is the last seen of him. They say the game usually works. When dealing with strangers you had better be careful. It is always the best policy to buy of your old established firms. It pays in the long run. “Doc” Brown, a street grafter who drifted here from Van Wert, Ohio, Saturday night insulted a woman employed at Blake’s restaurant. The woman was walking on the street when the grafter accosted her. Policemen Bvers and Reynolds were told of the affair. They collared Brown and took him before the woman for identification. She recognized the man, Ipit he apologized so humbly that she did not care to prosecutehim. The grafter was turned loose with a warning. Hartford City News. Doc is well

known here. Judge Erwin came over from Decatur to hear the injunction suit of S. A. Steman against A. G. Johnson and Sheriff Crandall which had been assigned to him. He did not get to hear it, however, as he sustained the motion of plaintiff for a change of venue. Judge Branyon was then called in and he made a second assignment to Judge Adair. The case is one iu which the plaintiff seeks to restrain the sheriff from selling certain property of his to pay a judgment rendered against Johnson, for whom he is bondsman. Huntington Herald. Another raise in oil puts Indiana crude to ninety-four cents. Western oils all got a boost of two cents Friday while eastern went three cents. Since October 3rd the price has advanced ten cents, from eighty four cents to ninety-four cents. The shipments in the entire oil fields nearly double the runs, and the oil producers say that it is the cause of the raise. The purchasing agency department of the Standard Oil Company undoubtedly knows that the oil operators will push the work and keep it all winter with a good high market. Financial men from New York City were in town yesterday in company with representatives of the Cincinnati, Dayton and Fort Wayne traction company. They were inspecting the right of way for the proposed street railway to be built through here next \ear if present plans are carried out. If the financiers find the line as represented and can figure out that it will lie a paying investment they will perhaps furnish the where with all, to put the concern in operation. The gentlemen after an hours visit here left for Fort Wayne. The ninth well to be drilled by the Decatur Oil & Gas company will reach sand sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. The management of the company are hoping for something good in either oil or gas. 1 hey already have three gassers whose capacity is about as good as ever found in the state, the patrons at both M rwi and Willshire being supplied fnim the Teeple and Brewer wells, the latter also making some oil. The Cliff ton still maintains its mighty pressure and is by far the best well ever drilled in the state. The work of putting in the Willshire and Wren gas plants is progressing nicely. Ihe main lines are about completed and near 100 connections have been made, a shortage of plumbers making that part of the work slow and unsatisfactory to those clamoring for gas. In a few weeks more most of the work will be completed.

Bowers, Manager. 36-3 There is a wealth of comedy and a strain of pathos in the newest and most successful of this year’s comedy dramas, “A Standard Article,'’ which will lie seen at Bosses opera house, on Monday, November 17th, with dainty Alma Stirling in the leading role, that of “Lena Snyder," a young Pennsylvania Dutch girl. It is distinctively a play of realism. There are four acts, three of which show the old farm house in the middle of the Pennsylvania oil regions where workingmen are becoming multi-million-aire on every side and Coal •>i 1 Johnnv is at the zenith of his glory. Those are the days the playwright has chosen for his setting. The other act shows the handsome New York home of the suddenly rich Chris. Snyder, Lena's father. The pathos of the

story is delicately shaded and crops out at only the most opportune moments. The comedy is rich and crisp and much of it is centered around the odd love escapades of a rube farmhand who is afraid of women but who is forever and always fall ing in love with them on the slightest provocation. The part Lena gives to the stage is a new type of character, a dainty Dutch girl, with the most delicious dialect imaginable, and full of the queerest philosophy, who dances divinely with big wooden shoes on her feet and who sings the catchiest little songs. Miss Stirling has won fame by her portrayal of this type of character and everywhere she has played has received the highest praise. The play is superbly mounted and most elaborately costumed. You want to see us. Mrs. S. I. Zechiel, was pleasantly surprised Monday evening by a crowd of young people composed of members of the Junior Young Peoples association of the Evangelical church of which order she is superintendent. An old fashioned taffy pulling was one of the principal amusments of the evening. mi<>< HING CKI.MF.3S -TXT New York Farm Hand Charged With Criminal Assault and Murder. Albany, N. Y.. Nov.- 11.—Anna Mitchell, seventeen years old, ern ployed by Captain Adrian W. Mather at Loudonville, was murdered some time Sunday night. She left her employer's house early Sunday evening i to visit her parents, whose home is i about a mile distant. Her body was i found yesterday in a field in the rear , of Captain Mather’s home with the head crushed in. No weapon of any kind was found near the body. An ■ autopsy revealed the fact that Miss Mitchell had been criminally assaulted before the murder was committed. Her skull was fractured and the entire left side of her face was shockingly cut and mashed, apparently with ■ a club. There was also a hole above the right eye the size of a silver dollar. Detectives last night lodged in the central police station Fred Knapp, a farmhand, charged with the crime. A Seasonable Tale.
