Gus Yager, who was internally injured in an accident which occurred several weeks ago at his home near Craigville,- is now in a very serious condition. It was thought at first that he had no chance for recovery, but later his condition improved. Now, however, he has changed for the worse. —Bluffton News. A letter was received this morning from Daniels, who was formerly on the local team stating that he was still at home, but was now playing ball with one of the city teams doing the bulk of the catching. He also enclosed a little clipping concerning the trial of the slayer of Scotty Cameron, of last year’s team. Daniels also wished the team success. The town of Monroe is making all 1 preparations for a glorious time on next Thursday, July 4th, and are fully expecting a big crowd if the day is nice. A regular old fashioned celebration will be indulged in and they expect to entertain their guests in a royal manner. The Berne band will furnish (he music and a number of prizes will be awarded for the different eVents that fill the program. Immediately after the trial 'of Joseph Murphy, who was charged with trespass and had his hearing last Thursday, the trustees of the church property got busy and raised money to the amount of fifty dollars with which repairs will be made on the building. It is then their intention to hold regular Sunday sefVices in the same and in the future there will be no argument as to the possession of the property as Mr. Murphy stated he would not molest them. Michigan City Dispatch: The star brute of the age was brought to the state prison Sunday evening to serve a life sentence./ His name is Joseph C. Ogletree and he comes from New. Albany.

It is reported that one of the North Dakota’s fastidious newly-married ladies kneads bread with her gloves on. The incident may be somewhat peculiar, but there are others. The editor of this paper needs bread with his shoes on. H eneeds bread with his shoes on. He needs bread with his pants on, and unless some of the delinquent subscribers of this Flag of Freedom newspaper pay up before long, he will need bread without a darn thing on, and North Dakota is no arden of Eden in the winter time. —North Dakota Spieler. Vice President George H. Ross says this year will witness the completion of all the improvements involving heavy expenditures on the part of the Clover Leaf. Relaying of the track of the entire road between Toledo and St. Louis with 75-pound steel rails, begun two and one-half years ago, will be finished in 30 days. The company is putting out 120,000 yards of gravel ballast at points where it Is needed, and has contracted for six new steel bridges to be built before’ the close of the year. . Contracts have been let for extensive ditching and widening of banks. —Frankfort Crescent On-gext Sunday at the St. Johns/ church will occur their annual picnic which will be given [or the benefit of the congregation and their friends. For years this event h«s proven a decided success and is always largely attended. The interurban railway will run every hour and a half and the crowd can be easily accommodated. All kinds of amusements, including bowling alleys, horse shoe and other old fashioned games will be on hand, and the day can be most enjoyably spent The committee in charge are making an effort to outshine former events and you are cordially invited to attend and help make the day one. long to be remembered.

C. H. France and family are here from their home at Detroit, Mich., as guests at the homes of Mr. France’s ' brother and sister, Mrs. R. C. Thompj son, and J. Fred France. The entire party will leave the first of the week for James lake where they will spend a week camping out and enjoying a vacation.—Huntington Democrat. Over at Rushville, Ind., the Rushville Co-Operative Telephone company has begun work on the new aik tomatic telephone system. A force of fifty men went to work on the the' trenches for the conduits which will protect the cable. The total cost of the new system will be in the neighborhood of $35,000. This Is the'second “girless” phone system in i the’ state. ' . • 1 .The colored brick layer arrived • last evening from Indianpolty and i this morning assumed charge of lay- [ Ing the brick on Madison street. This > is the same party that laid the brick , on north Second street and who* did J such excellent work and gave such > satisfaction. Mr. Haugk had considerable trouble in inducing this man to come here and was forced to make a nice layout of money to get him. Within a few weeks every street in Ossian the northern metropolis of the county will be fringed on either side with cement sidewalks. On the main streets the walks will be eight feet in width and in the residence district, four. As yet nothing has .been done toward agitating the paving question there, but with the spirit jof progress that the little town is now showing that move cannot be many years away .—Bluffton Banner. A newspaper man is an enemy to bulletin board advertising on principle, but "there are occasions when a bulletin board may bring better results than a paper. The editor for an exchange remarks that he observed one in front of a store in his city not long ago which read, “B 4 U Buy JPants Come In and See Ours.” He went in, and there was not a confounded man clerk in the store (they were all female), so he bought a fan and walked out. • . ■■ The state board of health, through Its food and rug inspector, H. E. Barnard, is tied up with pending prosecutions all over the state. The inspectors of the - state laboratory have made their preliminary inspections, and the. suits and prosecutions growing out of these are keeping the commissioner and his deputies busy. It is estimated that qver 100 prosecutions are now pending in the Jiffent courts of the all with reference of violations of the pure food and drug laws. Oliver Smith has been engaged to take Harry T. Mote in charge until Monday, when the county commissioners meet, and then he will be turned over to them and they will have to find some way to dispose of the case. - Mote takes his meals with Mr. Smith but sleeps in the jail. The local order -of K. of P.’s and Red Men have . offered to pay some one to keep him, but no one can be found who will undertake the job. Smith says that he would not think of keeping him any longer than Monday. — Montpelier Herald. Paul Ortman, the German porter at the Ingram, has beep nitofied to appear at Charleston, W. Va., as a witness in a murder trial, the young man having been a eye witness at a lumber camp. Paul was called there the past month, but th etrial was postponed. A few days previous to the day set for the trial one of the men implicated in the murder, committed suicide in the county jail by hanging himself. West Virginia allows witnesses 10 cents per mile and $1.50 per day for expenses.—Hartford City Gazette. Now that the Fourth of July is at , hand the State Board of Health has bestirred itself to the point of issuing a warning against lockjaw, and 1 more especially against what is 1 terms “Fourth Os July lockjaw.” The board strongly condemns the nefaroiis toy pistol, but if such things 1 must be the board has washed., its 1 hands of responsibility by telling how 1 lockjaw from toy pistol and other 1 wounds may be prevented. The 1 board, says that after all, the best ■ prevention for “Fourth of July tetan- 1 us” is to abolish toy pistols, and this 1 the police and health authorities of all towns and cities should do. According to the Mansfield News the Erie railroad is experimenting ] with another new labor saving mar 1 chine on a section of road in Ohio. : The new ditching machine has shown i that it can 'easily den the work requir- I ed by hundreds of men and the Erie < is now experimenting with a spread- 1 ing machine.

The case of the Toledo, St Louis & Western R. R. company, which was sued by Edward C. Reardon, of Delphos, has beqh appealed by the company. Reardon was awarded $6,000 on an appeal to the appellate court at Toledo. He sued for $25,000, for the loss of a hand while in the company’s employ.—Delphos Herald. Everything is in readiness for the shirt waist dance to be held Thursday evening at the Knights of Columbus hall. The club members have spared no expense in pulling off this dance and. expect a large crowd to participate. The grand march wil be started promptly at eight-thirty o’clock. The new orchestra has been secured to furnish the music for the event. The big pump at the Haugk stone quarries is now running day and night and is constantly throwing a large stream of water from the quarry into the river. The quarry filled up a short time ago owing to the heavy rains and in order to fill his stone contracts he has been forced to run the pump day and night to get all the water out. He fully expects to have his plant in full blast next week. An echo of the Big Four wreck at Fowler, Ind., on the 19th of January last, was heard in Federal court at Indianapolis, when J. H. McHugh and F. L. Littleton, attorneys, appeared to announce that they had agreed upon a settlement in . the suit of Mrs. Fanny Price, a widow by the wreck, for SIO,OOO for the death of her husband, Henry A. Price. The widow by the agreement, secured judgment for $5,750. Growers report that the freezes late in the spring rtorked greater havoc with peaches than at first thought. In practically all the orchards along the shores of Lake Erie, the fruit in its incipient stage is continually falling off. Fruit farmers who, a month ago, were almost optimistic over the outlook, now join with their associates who predicted bad results from the frigid weather of May and June. In Tennessee today it costs $1,500 a year in fees of various sorts to the city, county and state to operate a salobn. Tennessee does- not have nearly so many liquor shops in proportion other population as Indiana, but they are better regulated and more prosperous. The trouble in Indiana is that .the saloon business is so overcrowded that a large per cent of those engaged in it constantly seek illegal revenues for the purpose of making both ends meet. The indications are that one Os the biggest crowds of the season will be in attendance at the opening game here Sunday. Fans are hungry for the sort and every one will be a booster for the home team. The club that will represent Hartford City will have in its lineup at least three of the Hartford City’s home boys, all of whom have made good with other teams in the gas belt. They have not been secured because they are home players, but because they are ball players above the average in amateur circles. —Hartford City Gazette. According to a number of local doctors and druggists a mild form of summer skin disease, commonly known as itch, is almost epidemic over the city. Druggists and doctors alike prescribe for a great many cases each day. The disease is not at all dangerous, but is exceedingly annoying. Apparently there is no especial reason why the disease should be so prevalent at the present time. There are said to be quite a number of mump cases in the city now. Several barbers have been afflicted and a number of shop men have been forced to lay off work because of the disease. —Ft. Wayne “News. - John White, a Bluffton baker, who takes to the cooling bdwl every time he has a bad attack of the asthma, was in Montpelier again this afternoon and was certainly feeling bad as . he freely until Marshal Reynolds put.him in the lockup sb he will nos<haye to be out in the hot sun. Some time ago White was up and wjien brought before Squire Nelson, said that he only drank when suffering from the asthma. He will be brought Into court when he gets sober. White served a ten day jail . sentence on the other offense. —Mont- , pellet Herald.

BIRTHDAY PARTY MONDAY NIGHT For the Garard Twins—Missionary Society to Meet— Social and Church Affairs. By Perle Burdg. Exceptionally beautiful was Brookside Farm, as it appeared to the guests on their arrival Monday night, in response to invitations to an informal evening party given by Miss Jean Lutz in compliment of Misses Greta and Marrit Atheson and Charlotte Dorwin, of Lafayette, Miss Katherine Calvert, of Covington, Ky., who have i been the guests of honor for the past week at a house party given by Miss i Lutz, and last night was the closing ' event. Japanese lanterns were artis- . tically arranged on the spacious veranda, and in each room, instead of the regular lights, there were the : danty candles placed in every nook > and corner which gave off a softer : effect throughout the home. There were several amusements of the evening, especially one worth mentioning was the animal contest. Each guest was the recipient of a small card-■with a pretty little pencil attached, and a stick of gum, with this gum they were to make the animal on the card which it called for. Miss Inez Snellen proved to be the champion in making a small mouse, and was awarded a handrpainted plate. Immediately following this the hostess served a two-course luncheon and the remaining portion of the evening was pleasantly spent in dancing and music. The guests of the evening numbered twenty-six young girls, who wete: Misses Bessie Boyers, Leota Bailey, Frances Merryman, Frances Dugan, Pansy Bell, Lucile Cusac, Margaret Hughes, Alice Daiey, Marie Bok. neckt, Marie Berry, Winifred Johnson, Florence Springer, Perle Burdg, Irene Schirmeyfer, Fanny Frysinger, Harriett Morrison, Greta Ttheson, Marrit Atheson, Charlotte Dorwin, Emma Hoffman, Edna Hoffman, Inez Snellen, Ada Murray. With large and small tables, prettily decorated with flowers and- handles and the Japanese lanterns lighted, formed the pretty scene on the lawn of the home o fMr. and Mrs. Al Gerard: Monday evening, when the smiling faced girls and boys gathered at the home to celebrate the birthday anniversaries of the .two..-little girls, Anna and Grace, the former being seven years old and the latter ten years of age. Various games were played and the little hostesses were more than surprised for as it was intended *to be a complete surprise and there was ho doubt that the surprise was a success. After the amusements Mrs. Garard served a dainty and delicious birthday luncheon. The girls each one, received many pretty and useful gifts and now they are planning for the same kind of an event for next year. The boys and girls who enjoyed tfhe occasion as much as the hostesses were: Joe Biffdg, Harry Murray, Ralph Ramey, Wermuh Ramey, Beulah Russell, Reba Ramey, Romain .Murray, Grace and Anna Garard, Mildred . Strobe, Geraldine Strebe, Geraldine Major, Winnie Beoger, Ruth Guda, Helen Chapman, Grace Schorll, Forest Murray, Lawrence Murray, George Schug, Effie Miller, Genevieve Smith, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Lutz and little Bertha Hiltpold. Al the home of her grandfather, John Peoples, situated four miles north of the city, little Miss Esther, celebrated her eighth birthday anniversary Tuesday afternoon by inviting twenty-six of her little playmates to spend the time. The dining room was extremely pretty with the decora, tions of national colors. Ice cream and cake was served the guests.

f SAYS HE WAS AFRAID OF HIM r The Story Was Without Dramatic Detail Except One Time —Schulte - on Witness Stand. Detroit, July 1907. —Without any apparent nervousness, but with cong Biderable fatigue toward the close, !- j Joseph Schulte told on the stand in a Judge Hosmer’s court Saturday aftera noon how he happened to shoot Alton e Cameron. e The story was without dramatic dee tail, except in some places, and was I essentially a plain and apparently a 8 straightforward narration. The one g highly dramatic moment came when Attorney Frank Simons asked the accused man if his father and mother f were in the court room. e “No, they are not.” k “Why not?” / r , “Because they know nothing of this e trouble.” The two representatives of the prosl * ecuting attorney’s office, James A. II Robison and Louis W. McClear, rose 1 to their feet with a loud protest-that •’ the information was immaterial, but 8 Judge Hosmer only responded dryly: 1 “Well, the mischief has already been 8 done.” ’ The narrative of the actual killing J was given quietly, without a tremor • of the voice, although Schulte held his 3 handkerchief near his face i most of 1 t£e time. His already emaciated ’ cheks took on a slightly paler hue 1 as he told of the tragedy. = “He came In intoxicated that night,” J sdid Schulte. “He took off his hat, 1 boat and muffler, putting them on the 3 table. Then he shuffled over to the " stove and tried to break off the top - urn. After he left the stove he came > over to the bar and sized up the crowd 5 and sized up me. He next walked ■ over to Schneider, a stranger in the b place, and, hit him over the head with 1 his hand, smashing his hat. > “I said: ‘Scotty, cut it out; we can’t have trouble here every Sunday.’ At this he walked a few steps away ■ and came back again. As I saw himi • come back to the stranger, I went to ■ the drawer and got the revolver, plac- ! ing it in the work-box of the bar. I • told him he had to stop making trou- > ble or I’d try to stop it for him. As 1 I said this he walked around to the ’ opening of the bar and was within > two feet of it when I stopped him.” > “What did you stop him with.” 1 “With the revolver. I rested my ! hand on the bar and said: ‘Now, Scot- > ty, get out of here.’ I repeated it two • or three times, but he only looked at the barrel and said: ‘l’m not afraid > of that? I stepped back, intending to ! put it away when he threw his left • hand on the bar and flung his right 1 hand to his pistol pocket. Then he 1 rose up on his l feet and said: ‘You ■ , I’ll make you eat that gun.’ As '■ he stepped forward, I fired.” 1 A tense silence followed this climax 1 and it was several moments before . it was cut by the query of Attorney Simons: “What did Cameron db?” “He turned around and hurried out.” “What did you do?” “I stood there for a while, dazed, Then Gus Wells came in and asked what was 'the matter. I don’t know ! what I said to him. By and by, Joe Peck said: ‘You’d better get out of here’ and Wells told me that if I need, ed any money I could gq to the cash drawer. He went upstairs and got my coat. I took a little money and made for the downtown car.” “Did you take the revolver with you?” “Yes, I kept it until I gave myself up at police headquarters.” — o ■ MONROEVILLE YOUTH WHIPPED Howard Miller Did the Job at Richard's Saloon. • Howard Miller, a young man of pugilistic ambitions, and William Bowers, a young rowdy from Monroeville, mixed-up Monday evening at the Richards saloon on Monroe street in* which brawj Bowers came out much the worse fir wear. Bowers came to Decatur looking for trouble and after hitting the flowing bowl quite consistently, ran ’ across Miller in the 1 Richards saloon and at once com- ’ menced to abuse him and gave him quite a tongue argument. Miller stood for the insults as long as pos- 1 sible and then proceeded to wade in j and if ever a man got a beating it ( was Bowers. A well directed blow 1 on the point of thq. jaw stretched Bowers out and Miller proceeded to trim < him up in perfect style. Several by- 4 standers endeavored to separate the 1 men and one of them received a blow 1 in the eye for his trouble, and readily J backed away perfectly contented with 1 the part he had played. The men were finally separated and at this mo. ment the police made their appearance and the men both escaped out the back | #ay and no arrests were made. While . the battle lasted it was interesting, I and Miller fully demonstrated his I ability as a prize fighter. , I Try a Democrat "Want Ad."

BLUFPTON KICKS ON CONNELL Want a Fair Umpire at FL Wayne or May Cut Them OuL Who needs the money the worst, Bluffton or FL Wayne, or, for that matter, Decatur. There’is no doubt but that a week ago yesterday the Ft. Wayne umpire robbed our old-time rivals, the Decatur team, in the ninth ■ inning and the Ft. Wayne papers re--1 ferred to the feat as a great ninthinning finish. A Ft. Wayne travel--1 ing man in Bluffton next morning admitted it was the worst case of hold- . up he ever saw in a ball game. Yesj terday the Shamrocks’ umpire started t to do the same thing and would have > accomplished his purpose had the Ft. t Wayne batters stood stock still and . not struck at the balls that were dish- • ed up. The question is, shall our boys be sent up to Ft Wayne to < fill the coffers of the Shamrock team and be robbed or shall they cut the s Shamrocks off their visiting list unless accorded a square umpire? Bluff. . ton can support her own team and . the money gotten from Ft. Wayne is not absolutely necessary to the ; life of the game in Bluffton. Decatur ; has the same kick and should agree with Bluffton that no more games L go in Ft. Wayne with the conditions that now prevail. A Bluffton audi- ; ence would not stand for a robber • home umpire. But Ft. Wayne seems . to think it a part of the game. Os ’ course they are only amateurs. —Bluffton Banner. _o BIG PATRONAGE IS EXPECTED Clover Leaf Hope to Sell 5,000 Tickets to Niagara Falls. If present estimates are backed up by results, at least 5,000 St. Louis people will pass through Decatur and land in Toledo all in a bunch the morning of August 11. The occasion for the presence of so many tourists from one locality will be the annual Niagara Falls excursion to be given by the Clover Leaf. The excursion 1 will start from St.‘Louis August 10, and the route to Niagara Falls will be via Clover Leaf and Lake Shore. Lasb year the Clover Leaf had competition, the Wabash and Big Four selecting the same date for the Niagara excursion. The three roads carried in round numbers 5,000 people, those taking the Wabash going via Detroit and those taking the Big Four going via Indianapolis and Cleveland. Thus only the Clover Leaf’s quota passed through Toledo. General Passenger Agent Ross thinks the excursion should be as large as last year’s, if not larger, jand the road will make preparations to run from eight to ten special trains. The fact that the Clover Leaf is to have the field all to itself this summer is an indication of a more , neighborly spirit among these competing roads. In times gone by it has been a fight to the finish. o LANDED THE SCHOOL CONTRACT Two Decatur Furnaces for the North / Ward Building. The city school board Tuesday contracted with the Schafer Hardware company for two Decatur furnaces to be #t once in the north ward school building. The contract was secured by the Decatur company against a number of the biggest factories in the country, and speaks well for the merits and price of this greatest furnace manufactured in the world. One representative of a Cincinnati firm made rather a “donkey” of himself by his abusive and throating language, but to no avail. Beyond doubt the Decatur furnace has them all backed off the track. We know for we have used one for a year. The company are securing numerous orders, each day and* the capacity of the plant is already taxed.
