The road traverses in Root township, and will be presented to the commissioners at their regular session in January. John Staker and wife are the happy parents of a big 12 pound baby girl which made its appearance at their home last night. Dr. Keller says mother and babe are doing fine and that Mr. Staker will be able to attend to his work as usual in a few days. Two Pittsburg boys who stole sev • eral hundred thousand dollars from a bank explained that they did it because they had io associate with mil lionaires and couldn’t make a decent shoeing on the S6O a month that each of them was paid It must bo almost terrible to have to live in a town where even the grocer’s boy has to be a millionaire. A horse in a corn shredder caused considerable excitement at the home of Daniel Bockover, at Twelve. Mile, north of Peru. The horse’s tail was caught by a belt which carried it to the shafting. The tail wrapped around the shafting and was pulled from the animal’s body. In its efforts to set itself at liberty, the horse kicked the machine to pieces. ' For stealing a corn cob pipe belonging to Editor Harry Troutman of the Montpelier Herald, Alva Sharpe and Wesley Gilland, two youthful burglars, will serve a sentence of from one to three year? in the Jeffersonville reformatory. The sentencing' of the two boys was the last official act of Edwin C. Vaughn as judge of the Blackford county Circuit court. | The Clover Leaf railroad company is certainly being beseiged with damage suits lately. Monday in the United States court at Toledo, T. W. Mitchell, administrator of the estate* of Henry Carey, brought* a suit for SIO,OOO damages against the railroad for the death of Mr. Carey.

Word comes from Jesse Sellemeyer, announcing tis safe arrival at Huttig, Arkansas, where he is filling an important position with the Forest Lum- ' bqr Co., one of the largest concerns of, its kind in the country. Frank Davis is pushing his preparatory medicines, and from the present outlook the business will be quite a good one for Decatur. He purchased the business from a concern at Greenfield, and moved it here several months ago. J. M. Haggard and family have returned to Adams county after a three years’ residence at Albion, Michigan. Mr. Haggard says he has no particular complaint to register against that country, but that Adams county was more like home, and he is glad to get back. .The price* of choice timothy hay is advancing and men in position to know, declare it will be selling at S2O a ton before March Ist. There is big shortage in hay in the state and many people who have never before fed straw are feeding it now. Straw prices have advanced but little and probably will not. Willshire is in on the President Roosevelt jaunt to the Canal Zone. Sidney Walters, son of Professor and Mrs. J. H. Walters is a gunner on the war ship Tennessee, and the Tennessee is one of the presidential escort. The Tennessee, by the way, is the largest ship in the American navy. It is 502 feet long. The party expects to be back at League Island about the first week in • December.—‘Willshire Herald. Representatives of jhe Salvation Army whose headquarters are in Decatur, came over last week and canvassed our city for supplies to aid the worthy poor. Reports indicate that they were not very successful as our people, as a rule, look after our local poor. Cases of extreme poverty are reported by neighbors an< some of our many charitable organizations at once minister to their wants. —Ossian News. .

By a deal made Wednesday, Joe Sawyer becomes the owner of the bakery recently conducted by himself and Lloyd Dalrymple in Dunkirk.

The almanacs for 1907 are now out and are being looked over with interest. They show two eclipses in January, one on the 14th and the other the 29th. The latter, which will be partial, may be seen here by early risers as it starts at 6*06 in the morning. The next eclipse will be on July 10, but will not be ’visible here. On July 24 there will be an eclipse of the moon at 9:04 o’clock, continuing until 11:41. It will be visible here. Eggs are steadily on the advance and lovers of the hen fruit will soon purchase an equivalent to the golden eggs laid by the little hen of yore. “Twenty-five cents per,” the grocery man says when you step in and inquire the price of the breakfast delicacy. “Pretty high, isn’t it?” you ask, and he straightforth informs you that they will be higher in a couple of weeks. It is predicted that eggs will be three cents apiece before the winter is over. The third quarterly meeting of the Bobo M. E. circuit will be held at Clark’s Chapel the 17th and 18th inst. Rev. C. U. Wade, D. D., presiding elder, will be present and conduct the business session at 2:30 p. m. Saturday. He will preach Saturday at 7:30 p. id., and Sunday morning at 10:30. The sacramental services will follow the morning service. The pastor will preach Sunday evening at 7:30. Let every one attend all these services. We desire all the official members of the charge to make especial effort to be at the business session with their reports. There are about eight classes of town killers and every town is afflicted with one or more of them. First, those who go out of town to do trading; second, those who are opposed to improvements; third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and business; fourth, those who imagine they cwn the town; fifth, who deride public spirited men; sixth, those who oppose movements not originating, with themselves; seventh, those who oppose every movement that does not appear to benefit them; eighth, those who seek to injure the credit or reputation of their neighbors. — _—o Had a Clo*e Call. “A dangerous surgical operation, involving the. removal of a malignant ul- : cer, as large as my nand, from my : daughter’s - hip-, - was prevented by the ■ application of-Bucklen’s Arnica Salve,” ■ says A C..

An Indianapolis boy who was rigible has been made good by the rt£ moval of his tonsils. If the surgeons can prove that similar operations will ’ make other bad boys good it may be reasonable to expect an immediate i boom in the tonsil-cutting line. ] The law firm of Sturgis & Stine has dissolved, the former assuming his ’ place as judge of the Wells-Blackford circuit. Mr. Stine will now be a law firm all by himself, and he is fitted to successfully continue the lucrative ’ practice that the old firm possessed. Capt.

A letter received from W. B. Suttles, a former resident of this city, but now located -at Greenfield, Pa., states that he has received a promotion in the railroad business, and is now acting supervisor of the Bessinger lines. Since leaving here, Mr. Suttles’ climb in railroad circles has been remarkable. The investigation into alleged cruelty on the part of a Wells county school teacher to his pupils was conducted yesterday and it has been found that there is some ground for the complaint. The matter is in the hands of the school authorities and action is deferred pending further reports. Tfflis is the time of year to take to the woods. A day out of doors will do you good and a little closer communion with nature will give you food for much wholesome thought. It will awaken the memories of long ago and will stimulate the imagination and hopes about the future. It’s the cheapest and best of tonics. Next week will be a gala one for the different departments of the Odd Fellows. All of the different departments of the lodge will have their days set apart for the state meetings, at Indianapolis, each department of the lodge having one or two days in the week., Every lodge in the state will have delegates to the big meetings.

The Bluffton business men are pushing out, striving for a greater Bluffton. It is now proposed to sell a couple of lots and locate factories with the sum derived therefrom. It is a great scheme and is expected to do the business. Samuel Jones of Decatur, sb«nt a few hours in this Friday afternoon as the guest on his daughter, Mrs. Janette Minehart on West Wabash street. He was changing trains on his way home from a business trip to Keystone.—Bluffton Banner. Tonight Henry Thomas of this city, will put on “Hick’ry Farm” at Winchester and will be assisted by Fred Patterson, who plays the leading part, and True Fristoe, who will handle the musical end of the play. The balance of the cast will be made up of Winchester talent. Mr. and Mrs L. A. Alfied Saurer, James Lepper and Misses Nellie Krill, Jassie Foncanhon and Mrs. Etta Heller will be guests Sunday at a dinner which will be given by Mr. and Mrs. James Snyder at their home east of town. It is the third annual dinner.—Bluffton News. The City of Marion is the latest Indiana town to be thrown up against the artificial gas problem. The City Gas and Oil company, a newly organized corporation, has asked the board of works ( for a franchise for a fiftyyear period at a rate not to exceed $1.40. The city attorney has issued a statement saying that the rate should not exceed sl.lO at the outside, but che matter has not been officially acted upon. The “Ole Olson” company was greeted by a fair sized a i lienee last evening at the opera house, and those who attended were royally entertained, as the show was a good one and pleased every one immensely. John B. Cumpson, as “Ole Olson,” played the part to perfection and had the crowd in an uproar constantly. His specialties were fine. The balance of the company was exceptionally fine, and would be welcomed to our city again. ’Tis the last flimsy shirt waist on the streets left alone; all its net work companions to the closet have flown. ’Neath its soft open lattice blue goose flesh is seen, where the eye sflyly pierces, the lace threads between. Soon the fair but vain wearers so proud of her bust, may lie under the quoting of dust unto dust. For the demon pneumonia sits on autumn’s x chill fence, on the lookout for victims wittffnbre pride than sense. ’Tis the last bust exposer, the last peek-a-boo, and the chilling breeze whispers, you’d better skidoo. A peculiar thing occurred at the farm of John Ritchey, five miles north of Plymduth. While his cattle were grazing in the orchard and occasionally picking up an apple which had fallen, one of them choked. An apple lodged in the throat of the animal, and in order to save hpr life Mr. Ritchey took a buggy whip with which he was pushing the apple on down into the stomach of the coy, when she bit off the buggy whip stock and swallowed a piece of it a foot and a haft in length. A veterinary surgeon was called and after making an examination stated that the buggy whip was in the stomach of the cow. This was a’ week ago and the animal still lives, apparently as healthy as before. C. F. S. Neal of Lebanon, has been re-elected president of the endow- 1 ment rank, Knights of Pythias. The ( term is for two years and the re-elec-tion carries with it a substantial in- ’ crease in salary. When Mr. Neal first took charge of the endowment rank, says the Lebanon Reporter, the insurance branch of the* order was in a very bad way. He quickly brought order out of the chaos that prevailed and in a remarkably short time he had placed the rank on a sound financial basis, made its investments secure,! paid off all claims, increased the membership and put new life into the or-1 ganization. Its present high standing among fraternal insurance com-' panies is due very largely to his untiring efforts. His re-election for another term of two years' comes as a 'deserved compliment. A Year of Blood. The year 1903 will long be remembered in the home of F., N. Tacket, of Alliance, Ky., as a year of blood; ' which flowed so copiously frem Mr. Tacket’s lungs that death seenjed very near. He writes: "Severe bleeding from the lungs and a frightful co igh had i brought me at death’s door, when I began taking Dr. King’s New Dis- I covery for Consumption with-the as-! tonishing result that after four bot- I ties I was completely restored and as time has proven permanently cured.” I Guaranteed for Sore Lungs.

He was administering to the relief of a wounded soldier be- ( yond the sixth line of trenches, and t as he straightened up a volley struck him, the shot piercing his heart and his right eye. Death was instantaneL ous. He had been calling on the young 1 lady for many moons, but being rather backward his suit progressed slowly. ■ Finally the dear girl decided it was up 1 to her to start something, so the next time he called she pointed to a flower in his buttonhole and said: “I’ll give you a kiss for that rose.” A large, open-faced blush meandered over his countenance but the exchange was made, Then he grabbed his hat and started to leave the room. “Why, ( where are you going?” she asked in surprise. “To the florists for more ( roses,” he explained. And further the deponent sayeth not.

Weak Kidneys Weak Kidneys, surely point to weak kidney Nerves.
