W. J. Bryan, the peerless one, will speak at Fort Wayne on the evening «of October 24th. Senator Beveridge is dated for three the day previous. Mrs. Mary Wemhoff, who has been very sick for several days past with Erysipelas, is reported as being some better. The disease has settled in her face and both eyes are swollen l shut. A trained nurse is in charge and she is being given the best of care and attention and it is thought that she is out of danger. J. W. Bosse has on display in the show window at the Holthouse Drug company a yoke that was used on the first team of oxen that were used . to assist in clearing away the timber from the site now the city of; Decatur, this being in the year 1835. The relic is an old one and is highly appreciated by Mr. Bosse. Gus Rosenthal arrived Tutsday from New York City, and expects to spend the winter in Decatur. Gus has been absent from Decatur for five months during which time he was visiting with old friends and relatives in the old country. He informed us that he was glad he was back in America, as it seemed more like home to him. No matter what other kind of advertising you do, be sure and use the newspapers. If you have tried newspaper advertising and not found it a success, your advertising was poorly written or your system was wrong. Newspaper advertising can be made to pay one who uses it if right goods and right, prices are right behipd the talk. To see a young woman eating salads, cheese, bon-bons, pie a la mode and drinking a cup of strong coffee, makes a dyspeptic curse the fate which gave him a stomach that will not digest anything stronger than mush and milk while that frail anomone of womanhood can lambaste her interior mechanism with such destroyers' as only the average American girl knows how to order. A farmer and his wife desired to weigh a pig, but they had no scales says an exchange. The man weighed 160 pounds and his wife 130 pounds. Thep put a board across a fence so that they sat upon each end of the board' aft' exactly balanced. Then they exchanged places, the wife taking the pig in her lap, just balancing the board again. How much did\the pig weigh? Considerable criticism has been going on, regarding the new spelling which is being inaugurated. As for us we have no “kiek” coming. We are rather inclined to look favorably upon this movement, because hereafter when we fail to spell a word cor- , rectly, or the compositor errs in sticking the type no one will know of or detect the error, but pass it over as a new way of spelling. Yes it suits us all right.

John W. Volewede and Barney Miehers are at home from a two weeks outing at Rome City, While there they purchased the cottage ‘ * The Snuggery,” one of the prettiest homes at that popular resort. The fifteen colored brick layers are again at work on First street and 1 are throwing the brick in at an awful rate, that would indicate that First street would be completed this week. The men are all experts and know their business. Mrs. Helen Blossom received word in a letter a few days ago, that Mr. i Zeke Ames had died very suddenly at his home in, Bi job Hills, South Dakota. Nd furtherparticulars are known. Mr. Ames will be remembered by many of the citizens as he at one time lived in this county. The old stairway on the west side of the Winnes Shoe store we are informed will be torn out and a new concrete wall placed in and the same remodeled in other particulars. A cement floor is being placed in the cellar of the building and the corner will be greatly improved when completed. A preacher who went to.a Kentucyk parish where the parishioners bred I horses, was asked to invite the prayers of the congregation for Lucy Grey. He did so. They prayed three Sundays for Lucy Grey. On the fourth he was told he need not do it. any more. “Why,” said the preacher, “is she, deadj.” “No,” answered the man, “she won the I)erby. ’ ’ The next reunion of the old 47th will be held at Decatur a year from this month. At the meeting at Warren it was voted to go to Decatur for the next annual reunion and all members of the association will try to be on hand. Decatur veterans will make all the arrangements, it being the rule that the parties entertaining this body select their own officers and committees. ’' 7 ’ — “ No more .shooting squirrels will be permitted this fall until after November 10th is the statements of the statutes regarding the hunting of these animal of the woods, the sportsman ’s gun will not be heard very much for a few days- until the-rabbit season begins in earliest. year as the last day of September was Sunday, the guns were stopped a day sooner than usual for the law will not allow Sunday hunting.

The Presbytery of Fort Wayne, of the Presbyterian church met in the Third Presbyterian church, at Fort Wayne yesterday. It was an Evangelistic Conference of te ministers and members of the various churches in the bounds of the Presbytery. Many adresses and papers were read setting forth the importance and need of the work during the coming win ter, in all the churches of the Presbytery. Dr. Palmer, of Winona Lake, Ind., gave a very fine paper on personal work in the church. Rev. Parley Zartman, Sec., of the General Assemblys’ Evangelistic Committee under Dr. Chapman, conducted the meeting in the afternoon. . .. . » There was a large gathering, and all who attended received new inspira tion for aggressive Christian work. A fine dinner was served in the church by the ladies of the Third Presbyterian church. Rev. Alfred Fowler represented the Decatur church.

CROMER’S RECORD. Here is the record of the man! whom republicans are asked to re-; elect to congress in this district. It is authentic, being taken direct from J the Congressional Record, and shows how Cromer has neglected the duties of his office from his first election up to April 10th of this year. Study it, put it in your hat and show it to your neighbor: Fify-Seventh Congress. Dec. 1. —Cromer present. Dec. 10.—Cromer obtained leave of absence “on important business” and did not return until March Ist. Fifty-Eighth (Special Session). Nov. 9. —Cromer present. Left immediately on indefinite leave of absence and did not return. Fifty-Eighth (General Session). Dec. 7.—Cromer present on opening day but did not answer another roll call until March. Fifty-Ninth. Absent since before the holidays except for one week. He claims credit for four speeches in eight years but in fact he never made a speech, those he claims credit for being inserted in the record under leave to print. Noted for the mileage graft of $190,000 when one .session of congress ended at midnight and another began at the same time. Collier’s Wjfckly published him in its “roll of dishonor.’ Is now serving on less important committees in the house than when he entered congress. The showing is such as will make i thousands of voters in the Eighth congressional district think and thinking will by no means favor Mr. Cromer. It is probably that no other memi ber of congress has such a record. — Anderson Herald, rep. o HEARING THE BUSSE CASE. i Jury Empanelled and Trial Begins—- >, ■ ' ~ r'-,' ' -* 'f'; Vt' ? - -•’ • -■> Other Business in Circuit Court.

A -- : — — -f r* z? jO DIAMOND BRAND SHOES MADE FOR EVERY PURPOSE Last week we quoted a letter from Rev. Griffith of Texas, showing the superiority of Diamond Brand Shoes. One reason for this superiority is that we make Diamond Brand Shoes for every person and for every purpose.

LOUIS High Authority Says the Deal is Practically Closed and Will .. Soon Be Published. Notwithstanding recent stories that the Vanderbilt interests were negotiating for the purchase of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western otherwise known as the Clover Leaf railroad, the fact that interests back of the Erie are the would-be purchasers is confirmed by advices received from Boston and elsewhere. It comes from high authority that experts representing the Erie have been engaged in an examination of the physical and financial condition of the work has so far progressed that they are able to report that the property looks good to them. In banking circles the reported negotiations are excepted as a settled fact. In. the acquisition of the Clover Leaf the Erie will gain a great advantage as a trunk line, especially because it will gain an entrance into St. Louis. ' (J—- --!
