Fred M. Wilson and Miss Delhi I Reed were married Wednesday at-' ternoon at three o’clock by the Rev. I J. Barnes at his home on West I Cherry street. She is a daughter ’ of Mrs. Jacob Wolfe and is the j stepsister of Melvin Wolfe, who! was shot by John W. Terrell las* j July. She was a star witness in j the murder trial having been with Wolfe in the buggy the day he was shot.—Bluffton News. Calvin Miller, the well known cjnt.ao.or, pur-base I of tie Schafer Hardware Co. a brand new 1901 model Cadilac automobile. It is one of the best touring cars made today, with a speed of thirty miles an hour on fair roads. A good looker and a gem in the auto line. Mr. Miler has contracts at various points over this and surrounding counties and his machine will be of great service to him. The Cadilac seems to be a favorite here and several other parties will no doubt own one before the year is over. The Berne News says: Wednesday forenoon Albert Strain, of French township, was brought before ’Squire F. C. Foreman for as sault and battery, upon an affidavit preferred by Benjamin C. Nussbaum. Th > state was represented by Debuty Prosecutor Franz, and F. M. Cottrell appeared for the defendant. The case was very stubbornly fought, both sides being well represented. The court found the defendant guilty and a fine of one dollar and costs was assessed which amounted to $16.70. The defense appealed the case tc the circuit court and gave a SSO bond. A number of Decatur boys who have been camping at Rome City for the past week, returned home Sunday night, and informed us that while there they had organized a ball team among 'he cottagers and played against Rome City and Kendalville, winning from the latter team on Saturday by a score of 16 to 14 and defeated the former team by a score of 6 to 4 on Sunday. The last team was made up exclusively of Decatur boys who | played the game of their life. Those who played Sunday were John Cra vford, Jack Deininger, Frank Johns, Otto Wemhoff, Will Berling, John S. Peterson and Dick Neptune. The boys are now contemplating playing any team in Northern lid int for m me./, marbles or chalk Nelson Foust, a young man who lives near Monroeville in Allen county was arrested Friday even ng by Marsha] Cordua. on a complaint issued by the girls, whom he nearly frightened to death. W’hiie drunk he went to the central office and became disorderly, acting uqgentlem inly. He was lodged in jail and given free use of the same to sober off in until this morning, when he was brought before Mayor Coffee and allowed to tell his tale of woe. He claimed that he had just escaped from the jag cure at Marion, where be was taking a course of treatment and that the medicine they gave him made him crazy, and that if the mayor would leave him off he intended to return to the institution today. Mayor Coffee promptly informed him that he could go back just as soon as he arranged his fine, which was nine dollars and thirty cents, which he did by staying the docket, and be was allowed to go his way.

Lieut. Colonel W. L. Kiger, of j Bluffton, attended the 160th reunion here Thursday and is busy ad ver I tising the big reunion of All ex-sold- ! iers, in Wells and adjoining counI ties, of the civil war, which will be I given in C imp Studabaker near I Bluffton, Thursday. Septern oer Ist. I Department Commannder Daniel ■ R. Lucas, will be ’present and they are expecting a splendid time. No I doubt a number from this county will attend. We are indebted to Judge Erwin for a mess of genuine lake pike, taken from the waters of extreme Northern Michigan, where he with R. B. Allison, R. K. Allison, Harry Deam and Lawrence Waring ' are enjoying two weeks' outing. It is said the spot where the party is located, near Viola, Michigan, ' is one of the prettiest places on earth and the fishing is delightful. We have had proof of the fact ' there is fish there and are willing to believe any story the boys may have ready. A middle agel mm giving his name as John Davis, and his home as Lima, Ohi ’, was arrested Wednesday byNight Policeman Reynolds on a charge of public intoxication and disorderly conduct, and was i lodged in jail until this morning ' when he was brought before Mayor ' Coffee to answer to the charge. The victim made a nice talk stating i that it was his first offense, but Mayor Coffee could not see it that wav, and handed him nine dollars and thirty Jcents wotrh of justcie, which the fellow promptly paid and went on his way rejoicing , The Huntington City Band, under the leadership of Lawrence Swihart. who led the famou' 4th Regt, band during the Spanish American war, in Cuba, is composed of the following fine musicians; J.

This is one jof the most classical bands in Northern Indiana. W. S. Fleming, receiver for the Cincinnati, Bluffton & Chicago railroad, his through Frank B. Jaqua, his ’’attorney, prepared and filed a >' it. min the Jay circuit court asking that he be authorized to I issue certificates and borrow money to the amount of $30,000 to make piyments on locomotives, and roll ling stock and pay labor liens con- | tracted for before he was appointed receiver therefor; also to complete the line between Portland and Bluffton; to ballast the readbed and prff the road in a condition to handle traffic. Tc meet all these claims and make the necessary improvements the petition shows that the sum r of $32000 is needed. The receiver further shows in his petition that the receipts of the road is not sufficient to pay operating expenses and leave a surplus with which to continue the improvement or discharge the outstanding lein. The certificates to be issued are to be made paramount to all outstanding liens and bear six per cent interest, payable semi-annually. The petition . will be argued before Judge Smith on August 18th.—Portland Sun.

After being rumored for several 3 months, it was officilly stated ’ Thursday that K. A. GorhingJ superintendent of the Clover Leaf for ’ four years has tendered his resigna--1 tion and will turn his office over to 1 his successor on Monday, August 1. ’ Mr. Gorhing came to the Clover Leaf with the Norton administration. He has no definite plans for ' the future. During his official ca- ■ reer on the Clover Leaf Mr. G ffiring has made every employe his friend. He has met them half way’ and ' they regret his retirement. It is 1 reported that he will be succeeded by Mr. McArdle, at present assist- - ant superintendent.

Legislation, • both federal, state and . city, has - been invoked, and the courts have without an exception, held that the sale of a non transferable - ticket such as is used for excursion I traffic to’the fair is illegal and the - purchaser is in many’ instances i liable for forgery, inasmuch as • these tickets have to be signed in ' the name of the original purchaser. With the law behind ttem, the steady fight which the passenger men are making against the ticket brokers, it is believed is bearing 1 fruit. At the same time an enormous number of cheap tickets are > sold to persons either passing through St. Louis or returning from the fair. In many instances the 1 conductor does not discover the 1 fraud until the passenger of the tickets far out on the line from St. Louis, and the passenger is unable to pay his fare. In this instance it is the duty of the conductor to put the passenger off the train. As a result the passenger offices are flooded with complaints made by persons who have suffered this treatment and who have made their way back to St. Louis and are unable to get home. DO IT TODAY. The time-worn injunction, “Never put off ’till tomorrow what you can do today,” is now generally pre sentedin this form: “Do it today!” That is the terse advice we want tc give you about that hacking cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for it today—and let the remedy be Dr. Boschee's German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold and its continued use will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if dread -consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparenly hopeless eases of lung trouble.
