I That Traction Line. I I Concerning the Fort Wayne ( inIflmnati traction railroad to bo built Iflhrougb here, the Dayton Herald |flays: “Starting at the Queen City I flhe road will run direct to this city, I flpassing through Miamitown, Ross, Ifllillville, Hamilton, Seven Mile, | Bkvest Elkhton, Gratis, FarmersI flille, Liberty, then into Dayton II Inhere an elaborate terminal station I flciil be erected. The section of the Ifload between this city and CinoinI iati composes the southern diThe northern division will ifliass through Stillwater Junction, II arotwood, Air Hill, Brookville, Iflhillipaburg, Georgetown, Laura, I Bradford, Webster, Versailles, I frenchtown, Brook, North Star, I fasino, Cranberry, Carthaginia, Ifllontezuma, Celina, Stedka, RockSi Jord and Willshire, in Ohio, and I fhrough Decatur, Friedheim, Poe, I farmers and Fort Wayne, in Inll liana. The road will be 194 miles | in length, and the total population f Os the towns touched is 749,000. H fce road was first taken into oonby Dr. Georue, president |na promoter of the company five Bears ago, and the greatest part of that time has been consumed I in making surveys in order to tap te richest parts of the country in e vicinity of the prospective joute. The small towns and villages through which the road will pa-s are among the most progressive in the states of Ohio and Indi- : at: The new road will be built : up m a steam road basis. A third *Oll will be used instead of the trolley system. There will be three ■lasses of service, limited trains ; rtn by electric locomotives, anflher train which will stop at (■ch station, and another which ! Still stop at all points along He lite. Tais will be an accommodation train. The electric locomotive M be used on the road has been ex- • pe.-imented with by a number of I and is now befog installed w the New York Central. There a f e none in use in Ohio at thy preset time, but they are being used °0 the B. &O. in Maryland. The °irs will be equipped with all the ■Best conveniences, and the sleep‘4g and freight oars will be trans to steam roads at Cincinnati, and Fort Wayne. The •f=B wav over the entire territerr h s been practically secured. An enormous amount of money already been expended on the Pteject, while tne people of Dayes' have been entirely ignorant fact that a road which 1 Pt misos to be of a great commervalue is b=“ing pushed to comTne preli in nary work almost Ipen completed, and rfluai work will be started in the future. One important featis that the safety of the peohas been taken into considerafl 1 ' Thera will be no grade ss ings as he line will either pass or under all railroad crossings, accommodations in the hand°t freight and every other p*i | w >h be the same as those of fl steam roads. Trains wdl leave

Dayton for Cincinnati and For Wayne every hour. Some of the grading has been done, and it is thought that about two years will be consumed in constructing the road. According to the plans this projected road will be between twenty-five and thirty miles shorter than any other road running into Fort Wayne from Dayton.” Select Your Seed Com Now We hope that every farmer who grows corn will see to it that an ample supply of good seed corn for next year is selected, dried and p ut away in a safe place this fall and as early as possible. Let us [speak of this matter to every farmer we meet and make sure that he does not forget it or neglect it. Here and there we find a man who has his seed corn picked and put away to dry, but the great majority are not even thinking about it. Hundreds upon hundreds of our farmers know when seed corn shoidd be selected but, somehow, they don’t get around doing it. The job is put off day after day, week after week, until finally the corn is husked and cribbed and no seed has been selected, and a good opportunity to materially increase the yield and improve the quality of next year’s crop has been missed. The time to select seed corn is as soon as possible after the corn is mature and while the stalks are standing and in a condition to show all their characteristics. It is a great mistake to think that good seed cars can be selected from the crib where we have no means of telling on what kind of stalks or under what conditions ears were produced. The stalk that bears the ear has a number of important characteristics that help make or mar the crop. Every obi servant farmer knows this. The I best thing to do, therefore, is to to 5 into the field and take time to se- | lect every ear with care. The ’ stalks from which ears are selected should be strong and vigorous looking. They should be of medium size, strong at the base, tapering gradually to the tassel, and well supplied wiht large, broad leaves. The ear should be borne at a convenient height for husking. The shank should be of medium length and strength, and the ear should hang freely and firmly. The ears selected should be well matured, strong and well deevloped, with straight rows of regular sized kernals. The kernals should be rather deeply dented. The smoother kernal are generally shallower and will not produce so well. The seeds should always be a little rougher than the average of the crop, otherwise the variety will become smoother each year and the kernals shallower. As soon as tho oom is picked it must be put in a dry, well ventilated place and arranged in such away that each ear may have a free circulation of ail around it. When the amount of oorn is not large, the old practice of hanging it by the husks is a good one. With large amounts, specially arranged racks are most convenient, but the rows of ears

must be separated by slats and there should always be plenty of empty space in the place of storage, otherwise it will be practically impossible to keep the air dry. Unless one has had experience in the use of artificial heat, natural dry ing, in an open building, will usually be found best. Great care must be taken during the process of drying, as there is always danger of overheating and moulding. If the corn is well matured, as it should be, and is picked early, there need be no difficulty in getting it dry before freezing weather. Every hour spent in selecting seed corn this fall will be worth dollars next year. Take a basket and go into the corn field yourself, or if vou are not in working condi.ion, teach the boys what is wanted and send them. Set a certain day for the work and see that it is done. A. T. Wiancko, Agriculturist. The marriage license business at the county clerk’s office seems to have taken on sudden activity, as the records show four new ones Saturday. Mrs. Mamie Shepherd was given a license to wed Mr. Cecil G. White, of Keene, California. The bride was formerly Miss Mamie Kellison. She was divorced from Mr. Shepherd last April. The groom is a railroad operator. Licenses were also issued to Jerry V. Elzey and Mary L. Bouserman, Elvin M. Grace, and Lillie E Ford; Harry M. Butcher of Jay county and Maudie M. White. Louis Wise, employed at the Kirsch & Sellemeyer lumber yards, was severely injured Saturday by being kicked in the stomach by a vicious horse. The animal had been recently purchased by the firm, and the accident happened while Louis was going into the stable to hitch up his horse, he having to pass in the rear of the animal to do so. As he got directly behind the horse it let fly with both hind feet, catching him in the pit of the stomach. He was taken home by one of the members of the firm and Dr. J. S. Boyers summoned, who examined the young man and expressed the opinion that he was injured inter nally. How bad he could not state, as it would take several days to determine that. Charles Heckman, the new owner and manager of the Decatur mills, located in the north part of the city is busily engaged at present in refit ting the old mill with new and complete machinery, and when the same is completed will have one of the finest flour mills in northern Indiana. The machinery is all of the latest pattern, having been purchased from the Alis Chaiman company, of Milwaukee, Wis., this firm bearing a world wide reputation when it comes to manufacturing mill machinery. The same is oeing set up by Harry Bowserman, the millwright, who is an expert in his line. The work is progressing nicely and the mill will be ready for business in at least twowceks, when Mr. Heckman expects to turn out the best flour ever manufactured in this city. This improvement shows that Mr. Heckman is a hustler and Believes in keeping up to date, a spirit necessary to a successful business career. Mrs. Eva F. Gilbert died at six o’clock Friday evening at the home of her sister, Mrs. George Winters, on Chestnut street. Mrs. Gilbert was formerly Miss Eva Worden, being the daughter of Seymour Worden, one of the best known men of this county. The deceased lady had been in pour health and came here two weeks [ago today from her home at Bucyrus, Ohio, hoping to regain her failing health. Soon after arriving here she grew worse and continued to fail until last evening, when death relieved her. Her ailment was cancer of the liver, and the care of loving relatives, kind friends and skilled physicians could do naught but make the end easier. She was forty-five years old and leaves a husband, son and daughter besides her aged father and several brothers and sisters to mourn their loss. She was reared in this county and had many friends and acquaintances. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at two o’clock, from the Winters' home. Rev. J. CWhite of the Me£ .list church officiating, assisted oy Rev. fiaist of the Evangelical church. Interment was made, at the North Salem cemetery east of town.

The latest Adams county composer is Maud L. Magiey, of Monmouth, carrier on rural route eight. Her composition,’ ‘‘Only a Bunch of Faded Violets,” is a sweet and ■ inspiring love song, published by the Success Music company of Chicago. Musical people who know a > I thing or two about compositions of this kind, are paying the youthful composer many a handsome compliment far the genius that comprises this latest production in song. Miss Magely is nineteen years old, and a bright and charming lady. The song and music can be pur- . chased at any music store in the \ city. > Noah Mangold Taturday received a telephone message from ■ Warren, Ind , announcing the death I of B B. Huber, who married Miss Weldy, a niece of Mrs. Mangold. His death occurred last evening at five o’clock, resulting from typhoid fever.. Mr. Huber was a t son-in-law of Chris Weldy and wife, who reside just west of this ! city, and was just preparing to 3 leave for Indianapolis to finish his 1 last year in the dental college. 1 He was a bright young man of . twenty-seven, and had visited here 3 on several occasions, and had a host I of friends in this city, who will be . surprised and grieved to learn of . his sudden demise. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at two o’clock at Warren, and inter- ; ment will be made in the Warren ’ cemetery. A number of relatives from this city willlbe in attend- , ance, Nicholas, Gasser, 58, our Main • street hermit, was found Friday ■ morning in an unconscious condiI tion, at the cheese factory on the > Berne and Linn Grove pike, oneI half mile west of town. His face , was badly bruised and his right > eye was swollen shut, also his right hand was hurt. It was at first sup- . posed by many that he had been the victim of a brutal assault, but i upon close examination and upon ? visiting his hut, it was discovered . that he had met with an accident at his shanty by falling on the sand- [ stone sidewalk, and while in an unconscious condition walked out of town. Dr. A. Reusser was called and examined his wounds i The doctor is of the opinoin that Gasser was the victim of a severe sick spell and upon trying to get 1 out of his shanty, fell with the • above result.—Berne Witness. Gasser is an old hermit who frequently visits Decatur. He has been living in a filthy hut, which he ■ calls home. He may be brought ' to the county infirmary. In the city of Tegucigalpa. Hon- ■ duras, is a club whose members seem to have a very good time. AH of them have money enough to livon in comfort, and even in luxury. i They amuse themselves at their club in every way that money cai buy. and theie is always a grea' appearance of gayety there. Preachers striving to turn men from their sins used to draw lurid > pictures of the torments of the wicked. A bitter theologian of the middle ages is credited, perhaps unjustly, with the assertion that among the pleasures of the saved in heaven would be the spec1 taele of the torments of the .lost in hell. Any one who wishes to see 1 that kind of picture, or who feels that he would take pleasure in such a spectacle, has but to visit that olnbin Tegucigalpa and attentively consider what he sees there and why its men Hers are there. Every man of them has betrayed a financial trust, and has fled from the consequences of his guilt because was afraid to face them, and afrai t even to die. They know they can never go home, except into prison. The life they live with all its luxury and gayety. im°rely death in life. They are dead to shame, dead to honor, dead to all that makes life worth living. They have bartered everything for ashes and dust. To the thoughtful men who contemplates that club in Tegucigalpa, and considers why it exists, nnd why its members are there and belong to it, and the price they have paid for their death in life, it must indeed seem that he has had a glimpse at the future punishment of lost souls.-—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

BUSYBODIES VS. TRUTH. Here Are The Facts**Judge For Yourself. Busybodies who see in success only falsity, who, without making an effort to Inform themselves, blatantly cry offense against honesty and truth —seem to forget that a slur against Dr. Pierce’s well-known non-alcoholic family remedies is a slur against the intelligence of thousands of clear-thinking American women who know they have been helped and cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is not a "patent medicine” in the true meaning of the word—it is simply the favorite remedy which Dr. Pierce used in an extended practice for the treatment of the diseases of women. A name for honesty and square dealing is better Truth and Influence, than great riches. Fraud is a bubble that soon bursts. Dr. R. V. Pierce has always been known to speak the truth—his famous medicines are founded on the rock of public approval and have thousands of truthful testimonials as to their ability to cure diseases for which they are recommended. No man ever lost a prospective customer through True Speaking. telling the truth. In the long run Dr. Pierce believes the truth will prevail and he is therefore not afraid to make public his formula. The ingredients of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Valuable Trade j s gi ven to the public. He vindicates the excel* Secrets. lence and harmless character of his "Prescription” by letting the sick and ailing women know just what they are taking when they use this reliable tonic and nervine for the diseases and illnesses peculiarly feminine. These ingredients are combined in just the right proportion to make an efficient remedy without the use of a particla of alcohol. ~ ~ ; Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription combines a non* Non-Alcoholic. alcoholic extract from the following medicinal plants scientifically prepared by experienced chemists at the laboratory of the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N.
