ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE

Big Crowd Will Greet William Jennings Brvan

ARRIVES AT 11:40 Will Speaks rom Platform on Court Street &• Hon. Joseph Shea Will Speak at Eleven O’clock and Hon. David Sims in Afternoon. Friday is Bryan Day and an immense throng of people will greet t’ne famous Nebrskan here on that oocstsion. The great democrat leader will arrive on a special train over the G. R. & I. at 11:40 o'clock according to the official time card sent out by the Pennsylvania railway company, and which is no doubt correct. Mr. Bryan will speak in Fort Wayne Thursday night, going from there to Auburn Friday morning, and from there here. The committee on arangements met at headquarters Monday night and decided to erect a plaform on West Court street, where the famous speaker “will address the jieople. He will be met by a reception committee, who will take him to the stand in a cab as rapidly as possible, thus allowing him to speak a full’half hour. The crowd should gather on Court street and remain there if they wish to hear him, as he will be taken there immediately. Just before his arrival the crowd will be addressed by Hon. Joseph Shea, of Seymour, candidate for attorney-general. At two o’clock in the afternoon Hon. Daniel W. Simms, of Lafayette, will address the people at the court room. He is a polished orator, one of the best stumpers Indiana this year, and every voter in the county should hear him. There is talk of h smoker at the headquarters in the evenng, but this has not been definitely decided upon. It is requested that business houses decorate their places of 1 u iness in honor of the viist of the great chieftain, and pictures of Parker and Davis, Bryan and flags should be used promiscuously. The Loch City band will furnish the music.. Death of J. T. Archbold. The sad death of J. T. Archbold at a few minutes before four o’clock Wednesday has cast a gloom over the community and saddened the hearts of his many friends. A life time spent in this county has proven him an honest, conscientious man, staunch to his friends and his convictions. For two years he has suffered from heart attacks but daring the past few months had been well enough to attend to business. For a day or so past he

has been superintending the construction of a cement sidewalk along the I. O. O. F. building. A few minutes before his death he had a slight altercation with the men concerning the arnout of sand to be placed on the job. The matter was satisfactorily settled and Mr. Archbold had walked over near the stairway which leads into the I. O. O.F. and Holthouse blocks and was talking to VV. A. Kuebler. Several lady clerks were standing in the Boston Store door and Mr. Archbold spoke to them in a joking manner. Suddenly he gasped and fell to the sidewalk. Mr. Kuebler immediately raised his head, he gave a slight quiver and the end had come. In less than one minute he had passed from a busy, active life into death. He was carried into the Holthouse Drug store where Dr. Costello examined him and announced that death had been almost instantaneous. His son, Dr. Roy Archbold was at his side a moment after the collapse, his office being just above the spot where he fell. James Thomas Archbold was born on the old Archboll farm west of this city, Octotber 18, 1839, and lacked but two weeks of being sixty-five years old. He resided on the farm during his boyhood, receiving his education in the district schools. He was married March 6, 1859, to Miss Susana Mallonee and to them was born one daughter, Alice, who died when but three ye irs old. Mrs. Archbcld died in 1868. Mr. Archbold was married August 6, 1871, to Miss Angeline Fisher, who with their only son, Dr. Roy Archbold, now survives. A daughter, Ada, died in 1875, when but three years old. Mr. Archbold moved to Decatur in 1868, and went into the ashery business. He prospered and shortly afterward became a stockholder and manager of the Shackley Wheel company. An explosion ruined the company and financially wrecked the members of the concern. Mr. Archbold sacrificed his property, ar.d the story of his honor and honesty have been often told by the older residents. He accepted a position with the Niblick store, where he worked for many rears. He served two terms as city street commissioner and made an enviable record as a public officer. During recent years he superintended public construction work for the E. Woods company. He has for years been a staunch member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges, and for over forty years has held a license from the Methodist conference to preach. The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at two o’clock from the Methodist church. Rev. John C. White will officiate. The remains may be viewed by friends this evening from seven to nine and tomorrow morning from nine to eleven. Arthur Hall, who has been on the sick list for several days, is able to be about again

Lig kitjai x.oUavu Deal. J. H. Hull, the real estate man, closed a de il Thurspay, whertby he gains possession of the one hundred and one acre farm belonging to H. Fred B ihnke, which is situated just thr.e miles n rth of the city on the Fort Wayne road. The deal had been hanging fire for several days before it was closed. This farm is one of the best 'in Adams county, being tiled, fine buildings upon the premises and in all other manners an up-todate place. The consideration was $>5,500 which means an average of nearly sixtyfive dollars per acre, and in this farm Mr. Hall has secured a jewel. It is not. however, Mr. Hall’s intenton to move on this place at once, but he has made this purchase for himself and no one else, and expects in the near future to make that his home. He at this time intends to make a genuine stock farm and raise thereon nothing but the finest. This is one of the largest land deals made in this county for some time, and both Mr. Hall and Mr. Bohnke are to be congratulated upon the deal. Received Contract. W. G. Spencer, the electrician, has received a contract from the St. Mary’s Catholic church, which when completed, will make one of the finest lighted edifices in the state. The contract calls for the best of wire and the best of workmanship, in fact, ‘he best of everything in this line, will be placed in the construction of this job. All wires are to be concealed, wherever it is possible so to do. Together with this contract goes the contract for wiring the priest’s house the sister’s house, and the school building. All jobs to be simHar to the church work. There will be one hundred and ten lights on the alter alone, which means a skilled job in itself. Mr. Spencer is thoroughly acquainted with the electric business, and is thoroughly competent to handle this work. Work on the same will be commenced in a few days and hurridly pushed to completion. The lighting of all the above mentioned buildings will be regulated from one p lint, this being the latest mode on large jobs of this kind. Arbor and Bird Day. The governor has issued a proclamation setting aside October 21 as “Arbor and Bird Day.” This day will be celebrated by appropriate ceremonies through the state and in many places trees will be planted along the public highways. Schools and colleges will adjourn for this day and the entire time of the school children of this state will be occupied with an attempt to interest them in the culture of trees. This has been observed in this state for several years, but the bird idea is something more recent. It is stated by those in position to know that the average person is sadly lacking in his knowledge of birds and an effort is being made to interest the coming generation in the study of these little creatures.
