HE GOT THERE Col. Reppert’s Race Against Time Wired Special Train and Would Have Spent Two Hundred Dollars to Keep His Appointment. Col. Fred Reppert, the auction eer has a reputation of never disappointing a man who has employed him to cry a sale. In ten years experience he has never failed to keep an appointment, though oft times to do so he has traveled all night, lost sleep, gone without meals, traveled across several states, worn out teams and hired automobiles, sometimes spending more than the fee he is to earn. This week has been an especially hard one on him and last night's sleeb was the first restful one enjoyed this week. He left here the first of the week for Keokuk, lowa, where on Wednesady he “cried" t. big stock sale. He was due at a large sale seven miles from Kenton, Ohio, the following afternoon. It 1 was a race against time at best, but Fred took the chance, He left Keokuk during the afternoon and in the wee sma’ hours the next morning arrived at Indian apolis, forty-five minutes late, to find the train he was to connect with had just nulled out. He singled out the information man, tut even that expert could not figure away f<r Fred to reach his destination. The latter, however, was determined to get there and goirg to the superintendent’s office asked the price of a speoial train to Kenton He was quoted a price of <2OO and accepted, but the cffi- : oialv then discovered that they had no engine to spare and the plucky | auctioneer was blocked again. There was one way left, the flyer, which had never been known to make a stop, other than a few important cities and theofficres laugh ed when Fred proposed it. However, he went to the telebphone, routed the general manager out of bed, told him of his offers and was informed that order shoul 1 ba issued to stop the train at the little station called Liberty, where Fr»d was to land. At 5 o’clock a. m. he boarded the train and at one o’clock was crying the sale as per agreement. He certainly earned his fifteen or twenty dollir fee that dav. He returned here Tnursdty night and yesterday conducted fb" horse and we venture

that not one who heard him imagined he had been overworked, for he was the iveliest man .n the crowd. A. Redding is suffering with a very sore hand caused by blood poisoning. The latter part of last week he was pitching some hay and noticed a pain in the hand not uniike a bee sting. In the evening I he applied several remedies but the next morning the hand was worse, and a small blister had formed. It kept growing worse all the time and when a nhysician was consulted he pronounced it a case of blood poisoning. It is under control but Mr. Redding is very careful with the hand. The city officials desire in this manner to inform the general public that it is a violation of the city ordinances to throw your ashes into the public highway. Several complaints have reached the ears of the city ccffiials, one of them in particular being from a man who had his rig upset by coming in contact with a pile of ashes in the street, and who threatened to bring action, against the city for damages. The police are not desirous of causing 'any one any trouble, but you should bear in mind that the ordinances of the city must be lived up to. Rev. and Mrs. John C. White gave a dinner to a few of their friends last evening, those present being Mr. and Mrs. R. K. Allison, Mr and Mrs, Paul Hooper, Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Lewtonjand Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Ellingham. The dinner was par excellence and following that a social evening was devoted to the many all absorbing every day topics, all of which were solved to the evident satisfaction of all concerned. The evening was pleas antly devoted to social indulgence. Joseh C. Waggoner vs Oscar B. Haise et a], mechanic lein case, dismissed and costs paid. The statement by State Goelogist Blatchley that natural gas pressure in the Indiana gas belt is increasing is borne out by many wells again j producing gas. One striking illusj tration is on the farm of T. J. Pat[erson, southeast of Noblesville. ( The well was drilled e:gtheen years ago, being one of the first in that section of-the state. It was never very strong in pressure, but it furnished sufficient gas to keep i' tubed until three years ago, when it gave out entirely, and the pipe . was pulled and the well abandoned. A few adys ago it again began ■producing gas. At first the pressure registered fifteen pounds, A few days later it had increased t n ’ forty-five pounds. Many abandoned wells in that and adjoining coun ; ties are showing similar increase. 1 Experienced gas men believe if all the old wells were cleaned oit tie .general pressure woull increase, ! sines the pumping stations have I Mn removed.

A Fearful Fate. It is a fearful fate to have to endure the terrible torture of Piles. “I can truthfully say,” writes Harry Colson, of Masonville, la., “that for Blind Bleeding, Itching and Portruding Piles, Bueklen’s Arnica Salve, is the best cure made.'’ Also best for cuts,' buri s and injuries. 25c. at Blackburn ; and Christen druggist.

W’ishing our successor vnd the schools of Adams county unlimited success in the future, I remain, Yours truly. IRVIN BRANDYBERRY T. P. Shonts, chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission, has roti 'ied the Interocean Cana! Committee >f the Senate that he is no longer receiving salary from the Clover Leaf railroad company, thus removing one of the causes of criticism of Mr. Shunts. Irvin Brandyberry came home Thursday from an absence at West Baden Springs where h> was trvin *o get a new lease on life. He looks better and says he :'ee]s better than he has for some time. His legion o' of friends only hope that it will be of I a permanent kind and will last so | some years to come. The Women's Relief CorjsThursday evening delightfully entertained members of the G.A.R. at the .G.A.R hall tc a banquet and from all re ports a most enjoyable time was had. The banquet in particular was the best feature of the evening and what the old soldiers did to the same would be a shame to relate Nevertheless .hay are hoping the ladies will repeat I the dose soon again. A new club composed of young ladies who reside in the north part cf the city on Second and Third streets respectively was organized Thursday at' the home cf Miss Fanny Robison and will from now on launch forth in society circles. No name has yet been given the club but this will be decided upon at the next meeting. The girls are all popular and the success ol this new club is assured. You’ve heard people say that they had “worked like a Jdog all day.” An exchange has figured that if this were literally'true, the twenty-four hours would be spent thus. One hour digging out a rat, two hours gnawing a bone, one hour waiting for a oat to come down a tree, half an hour begging to get into the house and the bal ance of the time sleeping on a mat in the cold doorway. Ladies of B?rne have organized a “Rathbone Sisters” lodge. Mrs. Fred Lynn, one of the leading members of that order in Daoatur, was here yesterady to assist in perfecting the organization. Only those ladies whose father, husband or brother belong to the K. of P. order can join this lodge, and male members of the K. of P. lodge can join the newly organized lodge.— Berne Witness. Judge Branyan of the Huntington circuit court, in the trial of a case involving a violation of the liquor law, held that the Nicholson law wes not repealed by the Moore law in so much as there was no j conflict in the two concerning cer-

A few days ago Judge Crumpaoker of the Porter county circuit court in Valparaiso decided the reveise in a case where the proprietor of a saloon had been arrested for permitting minors in his saloon. As no provision is in the Moore law prohibiting minors from being permitted in saloons, although the Nicholson law contaned a prohibitory clause of this kind, Judge Crumpaoker held that all the former law was repealed by the passage of the latter one. The ruling of Judge Branyan was on a similar point, but his decision is the reverse. Mrs. Obadiah F. Bowman, wife RAILROADS.

of the canning factory promoter,; whose alleged misdeeds got him into jail at Rushville, died Thurs day at her home in Redkey, o cancer of the breast, from which she had been a long sufferer. The funeral services will be held Satur day afternoon at two o'clock, being conducted bv the Rev. B. F Aspy of Eaton. The interment will be in the Claoomb cemetery. The death of Mrs. Bowman breaks the last tie which once bound a happy family. Her suffering recalls that of martyrs, when the devotion she had for her unfortunate husband is considered. Last May Obadiah Bow man was arrested at Garthage. lnidana. charged with financial discrepancies in the accounts of a canning factory of which she was the manager. He later broke jail and has not since been apprehended. The family, a wife and two children, moved to Muncie, and later came back to their old home in Redkey, where Mrs. Bowman has since lain while suffering from her malady. At one time last fall Mrs. Bowman was at death’s point and her husband was reported to have visited her. Her last prayer was for the vindication of her absent husband.—Portland CommercialReview. Mr. Bowman is the man who built the Berne canning factory the life ot which was of but a few weeks duration.
