Charles Kalt, who for some time past had been advertising for his team of horses that had been stolen from him, has recovered the team, locating them at Van Wert. The team had been driven quite a distance and showed the effects of their misusage. Mr. Kalt’s home is at Coldwater, Ohio. The Baptist church is putting in a new heating furnace to be used this winter. The furnace is of the Angola pattern and one of tho best made, and is of tho same pattern that is now being used in the big store block. The furnace was sold by tho Schafer Hardware company, and is now being placed in position for use. Sheriff Johnson, of Bluffton, together with several attendants, passed through our city Friday enroute to Richmond, having in charge a woman named Mrs. Rosa Fulton, who is a raving maniac. While seated in the depot her actions were something terrible to behold, and all who saw her held for her the deepest sympathy. Mrs. Fulton, aooording to a statement made by Sheriff Johnson, had been confined in the East Haven asylum, some time ago, and discharged as cured, but on her return home, once more became a raving maniac and the doctors now claim that she must spend the balance of her days in the asylum. A meeting of the Indiana Poultry association has been held at Indianapolis. The leading question that came up was the price that the association members shall pay for turkeys this fall. All along the dealers have professed to believe that there would be plenty of turkeys in the state this year, remembering that always just before Thanksigving the air is full of stories of a shortage. They have always found, however, when the time came, that there was a large enough supply to fill all wants, the assumption being that the stories were designed to boom prices. This year the dealers have refused to become stampeded into quoting high prices, pointing out the fact that trade journals, which take the whole country into their calculations, claim that the turkey crop will be at least 15 per cent largi r than last year. C. E. Sturgis returned Wednesday from Indianapolis where he attended to some important legal business. His mission there was to file with the supreme court the transcript of , the evidence in the Terrell case, preparatory to an appeal. The brief for the case is all prepared and is at the present time being printed in this office. The transcript of the evidence, which is complete in every detail, was the largest ever prepared in this county and covers 2,500 typewritten pages. The brief of the case, setting forth the reasons for a reversal is also complete and covers every point in the case. It will take the supreme court some time to return a ruling in the case. The briefs, which are now being prepared, will have to be submitted to them for their consideration and they will have the huge mass of evidence to inspect. Just how long it will take them, remains to be seen, but a year will likely elapse before any decision is handed down from that court. Ever since the tria and conviction, the attorneys for the defense have been working hard on the transcript of the evidence and their brief, and they have certainly done a thorough job of it. —Bluffton Banner.

The last rites over the remains of 1 Dr. A G. H silo way were performed Sunday at the house, at the cor- 1 ner of Fifth and Jefferson streets. ' The Rev. J. C. White and Rev. ' Brown conducted the services. A large crowd was in attendance to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The Adams County Medical association, of which he was a member, and the G. A. R. attended in a body. The floral offerings were beautiful and pro- [ fuse. Interment was made in Decatur cemetery. Invitations have been received here for the wedding of Miss May Elizabeth Healy, of Rogers Park, • Chicago, and Dr. Charles J. Black- ' man, of this city. The wedding ! will occur Thursday, Nov. 17, at the bride’s home in Chicago. Dr. Blackman is a member of the firm of Blackman & Blackman, osteo- 1 path physicians.

Undoubtedly all of our readers have by this time learned of the accident which befell the California airship Now 2 at St. Louis, while flying through the air on a test trial and after coming to the ground, the aeronaut, Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, released the cigarshaped machine which broke loose from the attendants and started on anotherflight, this time without anyone to direct its course, and when last seen was hurriedly being driven by the wind in a northeasternly direction. Today telegrams are going over the wires to all parts of the globe for people to be on the lookout for the airship. The operators at the different railroads and Mr. Patterson at the Western Union have heard other operators sending these messages over the wire, informing the public in general that the machine was lost and that a reward was offered for its recovery. It might be well for the people in the surrounding country to keep an eye open as this is in a northeasternly direction from St. Louis and there is a slight chance that some one may pick up a little easy money if they happen to stumble over it in their back yard or on their farm. Keep a look out. Most of the railroads in this territory are now experiencing great difficulty in getting sufficient cars to supply the demand for moving the potato crop. This staple article of food is raised in great abundance in Michigan and Northern Indiana and is always depended upon by Lie railroads for a good business in the early winter freight movement. The G. R & I- road traverse the very heart of the Michigan potato belt and annually reaps a very large revenue from the tubers. This road alone handles about 4,000 cars of potatoes each season. This year the crop is said to be a good one and there is no reason to believe that the cars handled for this season will fall below that of previous years. The Pennsylvania oomjiany is handling large quantities of the potatoes for the eastern market now, and nearly every eastbound train carries its quota of them. : One tram left Fort Wayne a few nights ago with thirteen oars of the staple in it. The Wabash is handling some of them for the eastern points and the Nickel Plate is getting its share. The Lake Shore, on the main line, handles large quantities of potatoes and is experiencing the general difficulty’— ; —FortJVayne Journal-Gazette.

In specal session at Portland last Thursday, the Jay county commissioners ordered Prosecutor Wheat to file suit on the official bonds of A. C. Manor, Truman O. Boyd, Lewis Whipple, J. C. Andr ws. R. G. Hutchens and Munford G. Tucker, p ist and present Jay county officers, who were held by expert accountants to be short several thousan Is dollars in accounts with the county. The largest , amount is that of R. D. Hutchens, a former county treasurer, who is i charged with a shortage of almost s£,ooo. The officials affected by the report have given notice they will contest in the high?st courts the collection of the funds as almost all the money said to be due the county was received as fees. The clerk of Perry county has written to all the county clerks in the state asking them to join him in a suit concerning the fees of the office. The clerk of Perry county and also the sheriff and ex-sheriff, have brought suit to test the constitutionality of the law passed by the last legislature regulating the salaries of county clerks and county sheriffs. In his letter the clerk of Perry county says that he wants to know the feeling of the clerks throughout the state, and suggest that a meeting be called for the near future in Indianapolis, when the status of affairs can be talked over. Under the present ruling all ex-officers who have collected fees from the county commissioners, on a showing that the fees could not be collected by the service fee bill, will have to pay back into the county treasury the money thus received. All phases of the law will be tested, so that the ex-clerks and ex-sheriffs in the diffrren counties in will know how to f overn themselves. Milo Meredith, of Wabash, great commander of the Knights of the Macabees, is making a tour of this part of Indiana to explain ‘the new rates which go into effect on the first of the new year. There has been a great deal of complaint from the members of the order owing to the increase of rates and the supreme officers are going about the state trying to explain why this increase was necessary. In ten years the order has managed to lay up a surplus of more than $3,000,000 and it is not plain just why there should be an increase unless it is for he purpose of meeting greater running expenses caused by the creation of new officers and permitting the present administration to supply places to adherents. The Maccabees is a closed institution so far as the officers are concrened and after they are once elected they have unlimited power as to appointments and in regard to the laws. It is almost impossible to dislodge a su preme officer after he has once become installed, because he has such vast appointing power, and the rules of the order regarding an election are decidedly in his favor. Niles, Mich., Nov. 4.—Claude Railing, the Decatur young man who was sent to the lonia reformatory for two and a half years for bigamy, in December, 1902, has been pardoned by Govenror Bliss. In the spring of 1902 Railing arrived in Niles and settled down to live there. He scon became acquainted with Florence Z.minerman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Zimmerman. It was not many weeks before Railing had , won the young lady’s affections so , completely that she eloped with him to Buchanan, where they were married. News of the elopement created quite a stir here in certain circles, inasmuch as the Zimmerman family is well and favorably known, and also because her en-

gagement to a Kalamazoo young man had been announced. The young lady’s parents were very angry, but they finally relented and the young couple returned to live at the Zimmerman home. All went smoothly until Railing told his young wife that he had another wife at Fort Wayne, Ind. The news naturally shocked her and much against the wishes of Railing she confided the sac t to her parents. The girl’s father swore vengeance upon Railing, whose arrest he caused. Railing entered a plea of guilty, but declared his first wife had written him that she had secured a divorce with money he sent her for that purpose, months prior to his second marriage. And later events proved that wife No. 1 had applied for a divorce, but a decree was not granted until after Railing's second marriage.

The Schafer Hardware company last week sold to E. N. Tyrill the Monroe street blacksmith, a fine Wogman six and one-haJf horse power gas engine, which will be used by Mr. Tyrill in operating his new patented bellows he is introducing in his shop. Also to run other machinery such as lathes and threading machines. He is remodels I: s shop in a great many ways, adding a now building in which will be placed all the latest and most modern improvements in bb oh mithing. Mr. Tyrill has been in the business in this city for a great number of years, and has succeeded in working u p a big trade, and he is in this manner attempting to give his patrons the full benefit of up to date smithing. William H. Colescott, a paralytic patient in the hospital at the National soldiers’ hime at Marion, and unable to move his right hand, or speak above a whisper, was united in marriage to his former wife, Anna Colescott, in the hospital ward of the home Friday morning by Chaplain Meyers, in the presence of the physicians and nurses. The marriage was the first one ever performed in the soldiers' home. Mr. and Mrs. Colescott formerly lived in Cincinnati. The husband entered the union army and served throughout the civil war. When he returned from the war he lived with his wife but a short time, and domestic troubles finally’ separated them and Colescott left his wife, having secured a divorce. He then went east and entered business, while his wife returned to the home of her relatives. The couple lived apart and not since the day of their separation had they seen each other until yesterday. Colescott was afflicted with paralysis and entered the soldiers’ home, where he has been a patient in the hospital. His former wife’s love for him never ceased, and not long ago, having fallen heir to a small fortune, she decided to locate her husband. Sue reached Marion Friday and went to the home, where she told her former husband she had been searching for him for some time. The cfficials agreed to arrange for the ceremony and the couple were reunited. A wedding dinner was then served. Colescott is nearly eighty years old and his wife is seventy-five.
