TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS Board of Review Business—Question of Paying Costs of Fast Ditch Case Up In Allen County. /Five Claims were filed this morning against the William H. Niblick estate, Christena R. Niblick, administratriy, as follows: Theodora Spencer, $746.49; William Sudduth, $125.78; Myers & Gillig, $1,151.67; Dave Ritter, $87.85; John Coffee, $449.37. The board of review were still busy today digging up mortgage notes held in Decatur and other parts of the county ajid assessing them for taxation to the proper person. The work will just about be completed with the required tftne. The question of payment of costs in the famous Fast joint ditch case was before the board of county commissioners today for extended hearing, and at its close the board, not yet certain regarding the manner of paymen, deferred a decision until Wednesday. The matter has been hanging fire for several years, but as the present proceeding is under the new law the viewers and commissioners contend that the county is liable for immediate payment. About $2,000 of recent costs are involved, with a still larger sum yet due under the older proceedings. It is said that Huntington and Whitley counties have already paid their proportion of the costs. — Ft. Wayne Sentinel. An exchange of farms was reported today by the Tribolet agency, John R. Porter who recently bought the Lepper farm near Vera Cruz, exchanging with E. L. Huffman for one owned by the latter close to Decatur. Mr' Porter will remove to Adams county where his new farm is being looked after by A. M. Howard. Mr. Hoffman is a son-in-law of Abram Studabaker and is farming the latter’s place, but will move this fall to his new purchase. —Bluffton Banner. ■< o Every Woman Will Be interested.

THE CORONER LIVES THERE The Standard Pumping Station Would be a Great Industry for Any Place. ) Preble is a busy place. In a short time spent in that hustling burg Mon. day, a member of the Democrat household was at once impressed with the progress of the people there. Pretty and neat residences are scattered everywhere. Two new homes are under erection, and happiness and contentment was observed on every hand. It is evident that commissioner David Werling is pretty much the whole thing in the business life of Preble. He has a beautiful home, a saw mill and tile mill, giving employment to a number of people, and is always perched on a front seat in any progressive movement, and such move, ments have been plenty during the past several years. Coroner J. G. Grandstaff lives In Preble, where he enjoys the distinction of a practice that is both remunerative and a credit to his profession. He traverses a goodly section and as the boys say, Is getting the candy. ' ■ The Standard Oil pumping station are building something all the time and is i certainly a great industry. There are about eighty people draw substantial salaries from that plant. They now have sixteen tanks, holding 35,000 barrels each, and intend to build seven more. The valuation for taxation purpose figures near $150,000 and that is an item worth considering. The Jeff Kloppenstein hotel is a commodious affair with thirty sleeping rooms, large dining room, office, barber shop and bar. He is housing about twenty regular boarders and doing the sort of business that makes a business man smile. His hotel building also contains a public hall, plenty large enough to accommodate two hundred people. o : — A Certain Cure for Aching Feet. Shake into your shoes Alien’s FootEase, a powder.

GOVERNMENT TAKES A HAND ■' v Big Steamer Which Did Such a Business on Lake Michigan is Put Out of Commission. Washington, July 8. —By the revocation of the passenger certificates of the steamboat City of Traverse, the i • government today dealth a heavy blow to the alleged gambling syndicate of • the city of Chicago. The City of Traverse leaves Chica- ■ go each day and anchors in Lake Michigan near the lines of intersection of the states of Illionls and In- ' diana and Michigan ,and, it’ is said, i conducts there gambling operations, ' Injfiortntitfoni concfcrni*ng the results - at the various race tracks of the coun- • try are received by wireless telegrai phy and the steamboat, it is further alleged, is operated as a floalng pool- • room. The authorities of Chicago have endeavored to suppress the evil, but their efforts have been futile. Finally, Mayor Busse appealed to the government authorities, urging them to ■ take steps which would put an end ■ to the operations of the steamer. To. day Acting Secretary Murray, of the department of commerce and labor, instructed Collector of Customs John C. Ames, at Chicago, that if the facts were as represented, he should cani cel the vessel’s license at once. This involved the cancellation of the steamer’s passenger certificate as well. This action is taken under the : authority of the revised statutes of > the United States, which specifically provide that a license granted to any vessel shall not be considered in forceany longer than the vessel is engaged in the employment for which she was specifically licensed. o— Hon. S. W. Hale, of Geneva, has been selected as president of the board of trustees of the state epileptic village, located at Newcastle. Mr. Hale has been an active member of the board, and his selection as president means that his time will be devoted to the needs of this institution. o “TO KEEP WELL The whole year through,” writes L.
