In a statistical report made to Indiana state synod of Presbyterian i church Wednesday, Rev. Donald Mor-' rison says that to convert a sinner! costs on the average of $212 in a large city and $27 in country churches. In Indainapolis the cost is $620 per sinner, but the sinner is, on the average, worth the cost. Rev. J. A. Delk of Dunkirk, ailived in the city today, en route to Wren and Willshire, where he has the pastorate of the Baptist churches. While 1 n the city he wn- :!;• guest at the home of Rev. D. B. Reckard. He is a bright and accomplished young man and bids fair to become one of the shining lights in his profession. ’ Rev. D. B. Reckard attended the twenty-fourth annual reunion of the 34th Indiana infantry, at Montpelier, Ind., Thursday and Friday. A very large crowd was in attendance, and much credit is due the . ladies of Montpelier for their hospitality in providing and preparing an elegant dinner for the occasion. A fine time was enjoyed by all present, and especially will long be remembered by the Sons of Veterans. A prominent Marion man interested in the M., B. & E., saidethis morning he had not consulted acting officials of the road but took no stock in the report circulated Tuesday night that negotiations were broken off between the M., B. & E. and the Big Four] He said a slight' misunderstanding was possible, but he was confident there was no decisive change in the situation and that work of constructing the interlock switch would be started in a few days.—Marion Leader. Not a little surprise was caused in the announcement that the appellate court had decided that the Union Traction company is liable for the deaht of a cow belonging to Simeon Spurgeon of Kokomo. The cow had entered upon, the unfenced' right of way of the company and licking clean one of the company poles painted green, died. Spurgeon’s demand for damages was treated as a joke, but the court held that Jie is entitled to damages as the company was under covenant to fence. The Knights of Columbus lodge rooms for the past several weeks has been undergoing a general cleaning the walls having been papered and new furniture installed and three large rugs, which cover the entire floor, have been procured through the firm of Niblick & Company, which are beauties in every respect. The lodge room is one of the finest in the state and the members of this popular order should be proud of £be same. I The soda fountain proprietors are gradually closing down their fountains and in a few more days, provided the weather continues as it is at the present lime, there will be very few demands for the favorite brands of fizz water.

While the gang of colored laborers were working on First street a few days ago near the the old negro who is making the .ped on North Second street, went over to /visit* He gradually took in the surroundings, and then walked up to the colored boss and said: “Why, I wouldn’t wdrk this near the jail for anything, ’cause I’ve been there before.” Work on the buildings’ of the Angola Furnace company is progressing nicely, and if the present good weather continues, further progress will be rapid. The buildings when complete, will be among the best of the city. The company is transacting business from their Angola plant, and while the manager was here last week, he sold tvo-furnaces, one to the large store r'ca’ gs Niblick & Comany, and the otlric ri’’ the Democrat, and will '•be users-to - heat "their entire office during the coming winter.

IS GIVEN WARM RECEPTION Dates Fixed for Lecture Course — The Repoblicans Nominate Township Candidates. (Special to the Democrat). Geneva, Ind., Oct. 17.—1 f J. A. M. Adair, Democratic nominee for congressman of the Eighth district, meets with as warm a reception as he was given here last evening, he may feel confident of his election. Never, in the history of past campaigns, has a candidate been greeted here with as large a crowd as heard Mr. Adair’s address. The band stand was used for a speaker’s stand as there was no room in town large Cnought to hold the crowd of people who were anxious to hear the popular candidate. The Geneva band played a short concert before the speaking began, and, by the time “Uncle Jake” Butcher had made the introductory speech hundreds of people weije gathered about the stand and it could be plainly seen that it ,was an audience composed, not of people .who were there for mere curiosity’s sake, but of staunch admirers and supporters of the speaker. Mr .Adair’s speech was one of sincerity from beginning to end. No rash promises were made by him, he refrained from making bitter attacks upon'his opponent and said nothing but what he could back up with convincing proofs. For an hour and a half he devoted his time to discussing thoroughly the issues of the campaign in the Eighth district, and during that hour and a half every person in his audience paid him honor by giving him the closest attention and that his remarks went home was evidenced by the hearty applause given at frequent intervals. > , Mr. Adair is making a splendid race for election, is deserving of the same and, as he says, if elected, he will serve his constituents better than they have been served for many years past. He will devote his entire time to his office and do everything for the betterment of conditions in the grand old Eighth district. Great credit must be given to the Democratic leaders of this- part of the county for their success in making the Adair meeting the biggest and best ever. All the dates for the lecture course which is to be given this season under the auspices of the High School Alumni have been now and are as follows: On Friday, Oct. 26, Robert Parker Miles, a lecturer of the U. B. church; Nov. 19, a concert by the Chicago Trio—pianist, violinist, soloist and reader; on Dec. 10, a : concert by the Lincoln Male Quartet; on Dec. 31, Denton C. Crowl in portrayals; on Feb. 25, “Bill” .Bone, the humorist. Everyone of the numbers are good ones and deserving of good patronage.

0 — GOOD SPEAKERS WERE HERE Meeting Held in th® Open Air in Front of the Couit House Last Evening. A Prohibition rally was held here Tuesday even., but the enthusiasm was not of the kind which cause riots. The event was billed for the court house, but at 7:30, the appointed hour, the crowd was too small to start in oh and the dauntless leaders'adjourned to a store box in front of the square, where a hundred or two people’soon gathered. A. L. Crim of Crawfordsville, Ind., candidate for Secretary of State on the “Prohi” ticket, and Mr. Haines of’Portland, candidate for congress, .made speeches. Both are good speakers and those who heard them were well entertained, if not im l pressed by their logic. A strain of humor Was intermingled with solid facts and figured and the speakereprbduced some good argument. Yestar* day afternoon the same mair spoke at Berne, where the crowd is also said to have been rather thin. The party is making an active fight in the state, and expect to hold their own at the fall election, according to statements by their leaders.

October is a good month to transplant trees with the exception of the evergreen, says Sanner. 1 The important things are these: 5 Keep the roots from dying out, prune off those roots that are bruised or broken, see that the soil is well packed around the trees, and cut back the head of the tree to balance up the lass in the root system. At. first,, cutting back a shapely fruit tree often seems to be a mistake, but the chance of saving the tree will be doubled if it is done.
