The enumeration in Blackford county falls 140 short of last year, being accounted for by the closing of the factories there earlier than usual. For the first time in several months the county jail is empty. Reynolds and Johnson going out last night cleaned the platter and the duties of Sheriff Butler and family are now comparatively light. The (J: R. &I. railway is advertising quite heavily for the Cincinnati excursion to be run Saturday night, May 9. These excursions axe very popular being run every few weeks and art' very cheap, only $1.50, for th# round trip. The special attraction this time is the ball game, Pittsburg vs. Cincinnati. Mr. and Mrs. John Rex and Mrs. Philip Meihls went to Williamsport today where they attended the funeral of Mrs. Abbey Manhersmitli which ° was held this afternoon. The deceased was a well known resident of Preble township, and died from the results of a shock received in falling out of bed. William Magner, one of the oldest residents of Monroeville and a pioneer of Allen county, died in the town of Monroeville Saturday morning after an illness of short duration. Death is attributed to heart disease. The deceased was a few months past seventy-eight years of age and had lived in Monroe township and Monroeville for over forty-nine years. A story is being printed that the general offices of the Erie railroad may be moved from Cleveland to Chicago, and the Huntington newspapers figure that the change will result favorably to that city. It is said that the high officials of this company are figuring on gaining an entrance into Pittsburg and that this change is the first move to bring about this result . On May 16, bonds will be sold for the .macadamizing of the south Jefferson macadam road, the second of a series of three roads, voted some time ago. County Attorney Lutz is now busy making up the form for the bonds which will call for a total amount of $7,720. The bonds in question are good pro perty and will probably be taken by one or both banks in the city.

D. K. Shaekley and family desire to extend their sincere thanks for the favors shown them by the kind neighbors and friends during the illness and death of their beloved son, Charles. The election in Geneva Monday resulted in the election of James Kelley for clerk, A. J. Miller for treasurer, Orange Whiteman for marshal, A. Cougill, Grant Weeks andßryon Ault for trustees. All are democrats with the exception of Cougill and Ault. A marriage license was issued Tuesday to Isaac Zimmerman and Cora Schlegel. The wedding will probably be performed this evening. This means the dismissal of the paternity suit filed by Cora against Isaac and which was to have been tried next month at Fort Wayne. “How much?” asked a young man the other day of the preacher who had just tied the matrimonial ktiot for him. "Well,” mid the preacher, “the law allows we two dollars and a half.” The groom produced a half dollar and said/ “Here's*, a half dollar: that will make three dollars.”

It might bo well for the farmers to note the fact that there has been a great falling off in the number of hogs that have been coming to market this year as compared to former years. The shortage runs into hundreds of thousands. This being true, the conclusion is that the jirice of hogs will remain high. Therefore the thing for farmers to do is to raise all the corn and hogs they can produce. Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Gillig went to Tiffin. Ohio, Monday where they attended the wedding of their son, Robert Gillig, and Miss Catherine Kintz, a i>opular young lady of that place. The ceremony occurred Tuesday morning and after a short weddin&tou»the.eouple will be at home St Fort Recovery. •where the groom is engaged in the flour mill business. Mr. Gillig lias a wide range of friends in this city and the Democrat joins in extending to them best wishes. Miss Mary Heffner left for Tiffin and will also attend the wedding.

Miller left Tuesday for Atlanta, Georiga, to attend the National conference of charities which will be held at that place from the 6th to the 12th of May. Mr. Miller was chosen to represent our county at the national conference by the board this morning. Miss lantha Gregory is having a picture mounted iit Moser s art studio, that surely shows the touch of an artist. The picture shows a clustre of grapes and a number of ripe peaches which very near like the actual fruit and are so cleverly wrought that they prove Miss Gregory an adept in the art of pastel work. Business was transacted in court Monday as follows: State vs. Curt Johnson, judgent on verdict of jury. Frank Gephart vs. P. E, Fugate, motion for new trial overruled. Joseph Chrisman vs. F. P. Chrisman et al, set for trial Monday, June Ist. Ohio Farmers Insurance company vs. James Johnson, appeal taken to supreme court. In the guardianship ease of Frank Colchin et al., Mathias Colehin. gnafdian a current report was filed. Frank Cottrell, guardian for Earl Farlow, filed his final rejiort. In the David Murphy estate, R. A. Drummond, admr., the final report was tiled and the administrator discharged.

Little Marie Smith, the four year old child of Jesse Smith, figured in an accident Wednesday evening which might have cost her some serious injury. She was playing with her companions near her home on North Second street and started to run across the street. At that moment she noticed a hors*' and buggy stopping short to rely escaped being trampled underneath the horse's feet. The hors*' passed by but the child stood too close, and her dress was caught by tin- hub of the front wheels and ilie was thrown under the carriage. One wheel passed over her body but she fell in a favorable position and 1 was but slightly hurt.

The South Jefferson township macadam road bonds are of the twenty-year brand, payuble in forty installments of sl9:i each with interest at foui" and one-half per cent. The date of this issue is May 16. E. W. Johnson of Monroe, was in ♦he city Tuesday enroute to Douglass, Arizona, where he expects to work in the mining company of which his brother, Ross Johnson, is president. ■ The appellate court of this state Mg decided that no person has a right to cook onions if the “odor ” from them will spread and infect a stock of goods in close proximity. There arc a good many other jxiople who liave it in for the onion as well as the apiK-llate judges of the state. The squirrel law does not go into effect this year until August Ist and the hunters who have come accustomed to Degin hunting on June Ist will have to wait two months longer. Squirrels may be shot from August Ist to December :ilst. The change was made by the last legislature.

J. W. Bosse, manager of tin- opera house was quite badly hurt Monday and his injuries will probably house him up for two weeks. He was repairing one of his bill boards near Patterson's mill in the north part of town and he and Andy Krannemacher were attempting to lift it into a different position Tin' heavy board started to fall and Mr. Boss* .hung on the result Ix-ing, that lris'back gave away and he fell. His back was wrenched severely sgnd it was necessary to call a conveyance to get him home. No serious results are anticipated. The central telephone office, which is located over the furniture store of Brokaw Son, was the scene of a slight blaze Monday evening which started in a very threatening place. Henry Thomas, who lives on the same fl*>or, was passing through the hall and noticed smoke rising from the switch board and determine*?to find the cause. The blaze was located and a few buckets of water were sufficient tooust the tire which was rapidly gaining a hold. No damage was done to the telephone aparutus and the wood work of the room was not charred to any great extent.

Ed Johnson has been granted a license to retail liquor at his present place of business on South Second street. „ * Scheiman & Butler are getting a bunch of hogs together for another shipment to Boston. Massachusetts. Boston lias become a good market of late for fatted hogs and this firm ships quite often to that place. £ John W. Vail has been quite sick for a few days with an attack bordering on appendicitis. Then* was some belief that he would liave to undergo an operation but his greatly improved condition today done away with that ordeal for the present at least. The report that li» had been taken to Fort Wayne for the purpose of an ojieration was without foundation. He rested well during last night and will probably be able to attend to business within a few days. One of the oldest landmarks in Adams county will soon disappear from the oldest town in the county. The Dorwin hotel at Monmouth, the birthplace of Dick Townsend and the boyhood home of Dr. J. S. Coverdale is being torn down to make room for a modern and cozy home for Dr. L. N. Grandstaff and his estimable wife. The house is known by all the old time residents of this city, and in its day was the largest structure in the whole domain of Adams county. In its dimensions it is 40x44 feet, built expressly for hotel purposes, »with the pioneer style of architecture throughout.

Wesley Logan, an aged man living in the south part of town, was stricken with paralysis Saturday afternoon. His right side including the arm and leg suffered from the stroke. For several hours after the attack he was completely unconscious. He was able to take nourishment today and although his attack was a very severe one, his physicians feel that he may recover. Mr. Logan has for several years peddled vegetables over the city for Willard Steele and has many acquaintances. The only thing in the way of his complete recovery is his extreme old age. being more than sixty years old and his otherwise very fragile condition.

At a meeting of the Riverside Oil and Gas company held at Wiltshire last night it was decided to make a complete test of their wells, on the property located this side of Willshire.

John Landiss, who lives west of Monroe, was in town yesterday and reported to the officers that his daughter, Opal Landiss, had elojied last evening with Milton Zimmerman of near Peterson, and he desired to make an effort to get his daughter to come home before she married. Opal has been working at the home of Charles Lee, near her father's home and has been keeping company with Zimmerman, who wished to marry her.
