It is a play that will make you look foreward to its next visit with pleasure, and secure your hearty recommendation to your, friends. In fact it is the strongest play of its class ever written. It touches the heart and leaves you a nobler man or woman. The capable company 'presenting “The Girl From Kansas” are actors and actresses of undisputed ability, each with characters that fit them like a glove. The supporting company is above the average. Clever, dainty, catchy specialities will be distributed between acts, the tiresome overtures having been dispensed with. ‘The Girl From Kansas’ has been royally received at all points, and there is no doubt that their visit to this city will be no exception to the rule. The advisability of securing seats in advance should be clear to all. o A new mail carrier made its appearance this morning at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Will Dorwin. and Will is busily engaged in receiving congratulations and handing out cigars.

: ANNUAL FALL INSPECTION TRIP < Officers of G. R. & I. Ralroad Went Through Here. On a special train, General Manager Hughart, of the G. R. & I. Tailroad, with other officials of the com--1 pany including the division officers lof both northern and southern 3 divisions on the road, passed through g this city Wednesday afternoon, on t their annual Fall inspection trip of the company’s lines.

Q—HE IS AN ELOQUENT SPEAKER Held the Audience Spell Bound for an Hour and a Half. | Mr. Culliss again gave evidence of his remarkable versatility in his lecture on “appearances” in the most masterly manner. For an hour and a half he held his audience spell bound or convulsed them with roars of laughter. Few speakers have the happy faculty of combining the eloquent, instructive and amusing address in such perfect harmony as he, and fewer still are able to present the practical lessons of life with such weight and character, and apply them in a manner so perfectly irresistable. His peroration was a master piece of oratory, and called forth a burst of applause, and sent everybody home feeling they had enjoyed one of the richest intellectual feasts that has ever been offered to the inhabitants of Decatur. Mr. Culliss expects to leave within a few days on his next season’s evangelisic and lecture work, but he can feel sure that his many friends and admirers will watch his career with interest, and be ever ready to welcome him back to Decatur. o CAMPAIGN IS OPENED. Two Democratic Meetings Held Last Night The campaign in Adams county was formally opened last evening with speeches on the issues by Judge R. K. Erwin, Henry B. Heller, James T. Merryman and A. P[ Beatty. Large and enthusiastic audiences at both Pleasant Mills and at the Boocher school Jefferson township, greeted the speakers and gave expressions of approval of the position 7, assumed by the democratic speakers. Indications point to a lively campaign and from this time on polities will be the absorbing topic. As a matter of information we will say that it is now too late ! for a person to move from ’ one township to another and 1 vote on November 6, and that after >ext fc Saturday removal from your precinct will lose your vote. oWe are glad to chronicle the recovery of J.

» OTHER NEWS FROM GENEVA t H. A Fristoe Proprietor of the Economy Store— Township Schools Will Open Monday The officers of the U. B. Sunday 3 School are making a determined i effort to increase the attendance of 1 the school and are using a new meth- ’ od for getting and keeping scholars. A badge is given to each scholar and , after three months of regular attend- , ance the first badge is exchanged for i a better one. At the end of six ’ months regular attendance a still better bad&e is given out and at the ‘ end of nine months the scholar is r given a solid silver badge. If the attendance has been regular for a year a solid gold badge will be the reward and it is believed that this method will be a great success in building up an already large school. J The stock of the Economy store has been invoiced and H. A. Fristoe, ; the new proprietor took charge of the same Tuesday though the store will not be opened to the public for sevi eral days yet during which time the | room mill be improved with paint and paper.

A rather curious and odd looking speciman of horse flesh belongs to Fred Pyle. It is a last springs colt which is perfectly normal in all respects save for its ears and tail, These two extremes will never meet' for the ears are just about one inch long and the tail isn’t long at all because there is no tail just a long stump. The colt is growing nicely but will have to have ear trumpets and a feather duster. The Wabash township schools will convene for the fall and winter sessions on next Monday and Trustee Henry Decker has all arangements completed for the same. Eleven teachers are employed in the township schools and everyone of the eleven are splendd instructors. The attendance this year will be up to and probably even better than the average while the work- will be better than ever. F. M. Sullivan now has both his fast pacers here and it is probable that he will not race them ■any more this season. “Judge '•Askin” has a record of 2:11% in a winning race with a trial of 2:07 on a half mile track. “Billy G” has record of 2:19% with a trial of 2:12. Mr. Sullivan believes that the horses hitched double could do a mile in 2:12. Each has paced a mile in one minute pat and have done an eighth in 14 seconds. “The Judge” will be wintered here and trained for work next season on the Geneva Park Club’s track. . o_ IS A VERY STRONG CANDIDATE Robert J.

REV. MOON TO BE TRIED A Warren Paster Has Violated His Contract The Moon which has been shedding the light of the gospel over the congregation of the Wesleyan church at Warren is now in a state of darkness. Rev. William Moon, who has been officiating as pastor of the flock, is now charged by his church with a grave infringement Os church law. It ' is said that he went to another church and preached without the consent of the pastor of the church visited. Besides this grave offense, Mr. Moon, who has heretofore shone so brightly, has become somewhat unorthodox in his views on the church doctrine, and to this disposition on his part exceptions are taken and he will be compelled to stand a trial before a committee composed of Elders J. J. Coleiman, of Plymouth; C. S. Smith, of lW<bash, and three, lay brothers who I will be chosen by the clergymen named. It seems that Rev. Moon is not blamed so much for what he has done' but his statement that he will do it again whenever he feels like it is what has brought about the charges, j
