The city of Buffalo, New York has 240 miles of asphalt streets which is more than has any other place in the world. She is considered the criterion on street building and municiple authorities from al] over the country have made trips to Buffalo to examine into her methods of construction. Buffalo first began to put in asphalt pavements about fifteen years ago and the city is still building them. ’ There occurred Wednesday evening, Aug. 26 at the home of Mrs. Eliazbeth Parks, two and one half miles southwest of Willshire a very pretty wedding. The principals being Victor Forman, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Foreman and Miss Elizabeth Stettler. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. H. Kohn in the presence of some forty guetss, most of whom were relatives. The wedding dinner, which immediately followed the marriage was at 8:30 being very elaborate and perfect in detail. The bride was the recipient of an unusual number of handsome, costly and useful presents, being a partial expression of the esteem in which she is held by her relatives and friends. The recepiton at the groom’s home, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Forman, was very enjoyable affair for every guest present. Siler, the second base nan with a history, quit his job with the Rosenthal base ball club Tuesday morning and has gone, nobody knows where. Siler came here last Saturday and manager Marty of the home team secured him for the Huntintgon game. His work so pleased the fans that they agreed to hold him over and a verbal contract was entered into. That was not binding enough however and the old boy quit without advising any fellow of his actions. He has lieen playing professional ball, played in almost every minor league in existence. He played around this city at several different times and was with Delphos at the time of Decatur's famous “Places Creams”. He has just finished the season with the Wausau, Wisconsin club and is now out looking for another job. A very 'pleasant wedding took place at twelve o’clock Wednesday, Aug. 26 at the home of Mr. and Mrs, S. G./Taylor near Weschester, Jay county, Ind. The principals to this marriage were Miss Gertrude Taylor and Mr. Norman Roe of Randolph county, Rev. H. Kohn of ‘Willshire officiated in the presence of about fifty invited guests. Immediately following the ceremony an elegant wedding dinner was served. The bride was a very estimable young lady while the groom is a highly respected man. A large number of handsome and valuable presents were left as a token of the well wishes of their many- friends. Those present from Willshire were Ms: anu Bauchnan, Miss Emma Buchanan, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hook, Walter S. Kohn and H. H. Kohn and wife. The Taylor family formerly lived at Van Wert and Willshire where they have many friends who wish the worthy young couple the best there is in life. ' Allen county authorities, it is said are about to begin prosecution against two Monroe-young men who are accused of larceny. The two young men in question whose names are withheld for the present were employed by the Portland Butter Tub Company and were engaged in cutting timber near Monroeville. While working at that place they stole a bicycle and about twenty five dollars worth of brass pipe couplings and valves which were used about traction engines. The stolen goods was secreted in the woods for some time and finally loaded on a wagon and carefully obscured. When the young fellows were about to leave for Adams county their horse ran away and upset the wagon scattering the stolen property over the ground. The owner of the farm saw the boys in their predicament and started out to assist them but he was ordered away. He did not know at the time what was wrong but afterwards when he missed his stolen property he grew suspicious and upon investigation found several pieces of brass where the wagon bad been upset. After this he thrrttened to prosecute and very soon received his bicycle which had been forwarded to him by express. Since then he has not pushed <he > case but the Allen county citizens i say that the trouble is not yet at an end.

A marriage license was issued Wednesday to John W. Parrish and Dollie C. Bright. Harvey DeVinney and wife of j Cleveland are visiting realives here. I Mr. DeVinney is an old Decatur boy ■ but has been away for twelve years. Ho says the city has changed wonderfully. Let all wild geese, wild ducks, brant and other fowls be wary from yesterday until April 15. By law their execution is jusitfied and except with the protection from pursuit in steam, electric or naphtha launches and from dusk of one day to dawn of the next, the game birds are without protection of the strong arm of the State of Indiana. Ducks may find some comfort in the fact that only twenty four of them can be slaughtered by any one hunter in a day, and they may rest assured that they will be eaten by native born Hoosiers as penalties are provided for any railroads which carry them outside the state. The wild water birds are protected between October 10 by the same section of the game law which requires a license for hunters, but from November 10 until April 15 they will have to keep on the wing. Word has been received here by those interested in the Trees Manufacturing Company, that they are ready to sign up all articles of agreement, and comply all along the line as formerly agreed to. This means their removal here from their present place of business at Greenfield. As soon as W. H. Niblick returns from the east they will meet here and settle definitely upon every phase of the situation. They will be located in the Van Camp building, formerly owned and known as the Lynch property in the western part of the city. They will manufacture the Trees Gas engine, the many merits of which have many times previous been recited in these columns. We hope this will all prove true and that nothing will step in to interfere as now arranged. This matter has long been on the boards and at times it seemed assured and at others anything else but assured. All the rough edges are now threshed out and the deal bids fair to culminate successfully. The Watchword, a young peoples paper of the United Brethren church in a recent issue contained a picture of an old time parsonage located at the foot of a hill in Lewis county, West Virginia. The picture was taken in 1865 and at that time the old log parsonage was occupied by Rev. J. L. Hensley. An article in the same issue by Rev. W. M.Weekley, D. D. describes the picture as follows: The subjoined cut exhibits the prasonage in which Dr. J. L. Hensley lived in 1865, and in which his son, David M., was born. It is located in Freemansburg, Lewis county, West Virginia, and was the liase li’wTi ■KiiiCtf circuit was served.

Doctor Hensley received 1160 for the year, and supported thereon a wife and four children. The preacher who traveled under him, Rev. J. C. Morris, a single man, received 1100 cash. What the preacher in charge got was mainly produce. The “parsonage” stands on a bank, with a deep hollow back of it, which is not shown in the picture. On gie other side, the hill is much steeper than it appears. Barring the dilapidated ap- ' pearanoe of the house it is much as I it was when occupied by the preacher. The David M. Hensjgy spoken of is the well known jeweler of this city and he will have the picture I enlarged and >nng in his home.

Revs. William Gossett and C. S. Hansin of Marion, Russell of Xan Buren, Whitecotton of G.M. Meyer of Kokomo, and Wm. [ Sleuth of Lincolnville, and W. H. Friend of Forest, Mrs. Joe Bueler of Kokomo, Mr. Guard of Kokomo, and W. H. Wines of Marion, passed through this city yesterday on their way to Geneva where they will attendthe conference. The Waifs of Wk” MItAX merry Katie Emmett will be seen } at the Bosse opera house next tonigl t Sept. 3. Possibly those who have watched the career of this charming little actress will exclaim, ‘ What! is Katie Emmett still play ing “Willie Rufus'?” She'certainly is, and why not when the public demand for seats to see her has never been greater than this year. ■ All te -to Remonstrate that a discriminating public is TeuSTT accord support to a star and play that has stood the test of time and demonstrated their worth. This year Miss Emmett is said to have an exceptionally strong company in her support and one of the best performances yet seen this well known play will be given. Advertising is the life of trade. It helps out during the dull season and if done in a judicial manner brings in larger returns for the money than any other invetsment the merchant can make.. The city department stores and mail order houses recognize this fact and are gradually stealing away the trade of the country merchants because many of the latter are content to sit among their shop worn goods and wait for trade to look them up instead of inviting it within their doors. The city merchants have built up large businesses by advertising liberally and have learned to tkv lesson |hat newspaper advertising is a profitable business investment. Until the country merchant learns the same lesson and makes much more liberal use of printers ink he must rest content to see the trade which he desires slipping away from his grasp.

’Squire W. F. Worden of Union ■ tp., was in town yesterday, pass-. ! ing around cigars and announcing 1 the arrival of a big boy baby at his ■ home Monday. D. M. Hensley will go to Rome City Saturday evening and will return Monday, accompanied by his family who have enjoyed the summer at that popular resort. ’Esq. Reynolds is in receipt jof a ’letter IcrbSf’' tue ; ■ •'* lof the Eastern Indiana Hospital at Richmond, in which no hopes are held out for the mental improvement of Mrs. Anna- Reynolds, who has now been an inmate there for seven years. The letter disclosed a gradual failing in her general health, together with serious affections of the lungs. Her mind also remains dull and inactive. This ad’.vs will Vm? t)y tbf* ninny ’’friends and acquaintance of Mrs. Reynolds, who hoped that treatment at this institution would prove beneficial. Messrs. Allison and Studabaker have let the contract for the stone work for their new building to B Wemhoff & Sons, and this means that this part of the proposed building will be right up to the standard in workmanship and durability. As designed there will be but slight change from the old Big Store build- : ing. The columns will be all entirely new stone except at the south- , west corner, it is feared that some , damage to the west wall might , result from the replacement of this , column. Contracts will likely be given sejierately throughout for the different materials used in the build ing, this seeming to the own- . ers to be the best method to insure the early completion of the building. Shonld the Old Adams County Bank occupy the corner room it is thought that the same can be finished ready for their occupancy by . the first of the year. The remain- , der of the building, how ever, will , not be completed for some months ’ later. When the entire structure ■ is finished not much change in ar- > chitectural designs will be noticed I from the one destroyed. I ®

Will Erwin of Fort Wayne is in i the city the guest of his cousin Dore 'B. Erwin. It will be remembered that Will had a very narrow escape from death some three months ago. He was at work on an oil derrick in the Montjielier field when a wind storm came up. He felt the derrick totter and immediately jumped, a a distance of sixty-two feet Not a bone was broken but the shock was such that he has been unable to greatly improved at present and will begin work again in the oil fields next Monday. He will not attempt rig building however for several ( months yet as he is still] a little weak. Some of the tax levies under which the Adams county tax payers will do business the coming year (have been made. The state asks for state revenue fund nine .cents, — ' state- educational institutional fund two and three-fourth cents, state (debt sinking three cents, state school eleven cents, and state beneI volent fund five cents. The levy for this city as levied by the city (council and school boaid will be found elsewhere. Berne tax payers I ask fortyfive cents for their general fund, thirty five cents for streets, fifteen cents for sinking. Their ! school board asks thirty five cents ( for special school, fifty cents for poll, and five cents for library. The town of Geneva levies fifty cents for her general fund, twenty cents for street thirty cents for lighting 1 street lamps and eight cents for * interest on bonds. Her school board ' asks thirty five cents for tuition, ’ fifty cents for special school and ■ on each poll for local tuition.
