Mr. Kleichman, of Evansville, was the guest of A. J- Smith over Sunday and left for Lima, Ind., this morning for the purpose of making arrangements to send his son to the military academy at that place. There are too many person who watch the time when they work, and too many who want to work short hours. In this they defeat their own interests rather than help themselves along. No difference when or where you find him, the one who succeeds is the one who works “over time” never under. Inability upon the part of the management to secure a berth in the In-diana-Ohio league, has forced the Frankfort management to disband the semi-professional base ball team that has so nobly battled for the glory of the city when the diamond this year. With the league organized and Frankfort out of it, there was no chance to secure games with teams in our own class and there was nothing left to do but quit The fans made a great effort to get into the league, and had Marion been successful in getting a park it would have been an eight team league with Frankfort in.—Frankfort Crescent. Several from Montpelier were in Blugton yesterday afternoon and saw one of the best ball games that has been played there this season. The Bluffton knd Decatur teams were opponents and as Decatur had still one the best of the series the Wells county boys were out for blood and succeeded in coming out with the big end of a2to 0 score. Decatur had their last year’s mainstay, Thomas Railing, in the box, but he was unable to win his first game for them, however he pitched great ball, he and Guhl, of Bluffton, about splitting honors. “ Railing has just returned from Tecumseh, Mich. —Montpelier Herald. The Logansport papers “point with pride” to the honesty of that city’s coal dealers. They mention the fact that patrolmen, one day, stopped coal haulers and took them and their loads to the city weighing scales and found that their weights were correct In every instance. The papers also add that the chief promises to swoop down upon the “unsuspecting” coal wagons again, when the drivers are not lookin’, and have another weigh. But, all the same, the coal haulers will get the second tip when to expect the weighing cops, and so they’re sure to have full loads.- It’s very nice, you know, to make an honest shpw-down for the benefit of the hardworking coal buyers. Jacob Masterson has just returned from Ft. Wayne where he has been at the bedside of his brother, Ellis Masterson, who met with a very serious accident In that city last week. Mr. Masterson has been foreman of the car barns there for the last twen-ty-seven years, and while doing something in a second story last Sunday, fell and struck an obstacle on the lower floor that almost disemboweled him. The doctors at the Lutheran hospital began their operation upon him that evening, not finishing until next morning. His brother, Jacob, says that it is hard to tell about his chances of getting over the Injury, although he seems to be getting along satisfactory to the physicians in charge.—Bluffton Banner. ,

NO MORE EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT I Oklahoma Having Railroad Troubles Also After the Louisville and Nashville. Washington, July 29. —President Roosevelt has begun a flank attack on the tobacco trust, which, it is said, threatens to do more execution than the direct attack in the courts. There is more than one way to hunt an octopus, is the belief of the president, and the new weapon he will use will be regulations of the internal revenue bureau of the treasury department. One of the new regulations will provide that when cigarette dealers pay a tax of 54 cents per 1,000 and upward, they “must take oath that they have not contracted and will not contract to handle the goods of any one concern exclusively. It is made the collector’s duty to see that this agreement is carried out. Through exclusive contracts of the sort claimed, the American Tobacco Company is alleged to have largely built up its control of the cigarette trade. Washington, July 29. —The interstate commerce commission, in a decision announced by Commissioner Prouty, holds that the territory of Oklahoma has just cause of complaint against the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway and other interstate carriers on account of the rates on wheat and com from Oklahoma to Galveston, Tex., for export. The territory had asked for a reduction on such shipments and the commission has ordered that the rates be reduced. Washington, July 29. —The interstate comerce commission has handed down decisions in two cases brought by the commercial and industrial association of Union Springs, La-,against the Louisville & Nashville railroad and the Central of Georgia. L, o A NOTED MURDER TRIAL • * The Jury Did Not Believe Harry Orchard’s Story—Two Othe r s to Be Tried. Boise, Idaho, July 28. —Into the bright sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath morning, into the stillness of a city drowsy with the lazy slumbers of a summer Sunday, William D. Haywood defendant in one of the most noted trials involving conspiracy and murder that the country has ever known, walked today a free man, acquitted of the murder of former Governor Frnk Stuenenberg. The probability of a verdict of acquittal in the case of the secretary treasurer, and acknowledged leader of the Western Federation of Miners had been freely predicted since yesterday, when Judge Fremont Wood read his charge, which was regarded as strongly favoring the defense in its interpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of an accomplice who confesses. It was freely prq‘ dieted that in the event of Haywood’s acquittal the state would abandon the prosecution if his associates, Charles H- Moyer, president of the federation, and George A. Pettibone, of Denver. Statements from counsel and froih Governor Golding issued today dispel this view of the situation. William D. Haywood, secretarytreasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, was tried for the murder of Frank Steunenberg, ex-governor of Idaho. Harry Orchard, the star witness for the state, confessed to Detective James McParland of the Pinkerton agency, that he (Orchard) killed Steunenberg with a bomb as a result of a conspiracy of the Western Federation- Orchard, who said he had been converted after his arrest, confessed to a long list of crimes , when McPartland visited him in prison. Orchard’s testimony on the witness stand was unshaken by the defense. Orchard testified that Steunenberg was killed because he had Incurred, the enmity of the miners in suppressing their acts of violence in a long series of crimes. o , KIRT JOHNSON HAS RETURNED Kirt Johnson has returned to the fond embrace of his friends, and says the charge that he had taken the hot foot for the purpose of defrauding those whom he owed, is made out of whole cloth. He simply went away to rest until he recovered fully from the effects of an accident which occurred several weeks ago. He is now back ready to face his accusers, pay his debts and be a man. We hope so. He has every reason on earth to be of the right sort, and he will find plenty of boosters if he, walks in the straight and narrow way- . —o— There were sixteen automobiles full of people- here yesterday from Van Wert on account of the ball game.

Ithe charge was forgery Infraction of the Law was Committed ' Three Years Ago—He Has Reformed. Buck Parrish, a well known Decaturite, who for some time past has been dodging police and had been proclaimed by the court as being a fugitive from justice, is now in so far as the law is concerned, a free man, and may come and go as he pleases, as the case against him has been dismissed. This action having been taken by Prosecutor Ninde, of Allen county last week. The case will be well remembered by our readers, as Parrish was arrested in 1904 on a charge brought by George Chronister, charging Parrish with forging his name to a check calling for seven dollars and a half and having the same cashed at C. D. Murray’s saloon. Parrish was in jail but a few days when he was released upon bond, and at a regular session of the Adams circuit court his case was called for trial in Ft. Wayne. Parrish could not be found and his bondsmen were forced to pay the amount that had been prescribed by the court and the case was carried over on the docket John C. Moran was prosecutor at the time and at the expiration of his term practically fell under the jurisdiction of Prosecutor H. B. Heller. A few days ago Mr. Heller was approached by the boy’s father and his attorney and asked to dismiss the case, which he refused to do, as he was fully convinced that the boy should be punished. He, however, offered to intercede with the court for leniency should Parrish consent to plead guilty. In this, his attorney would not consent to and the matter dragged until the latter part of last week, when Prosecutor Ninde dismissed the case and Parrish is now free from further prosecution. It is said that Mr. Parrish has reformed in many ways and has come to the conclusion that it is far better to lead an honest life than a dishonest one. His announcement to lead a better life will certainly meet with the approval of all that knew Mr. Parrish, as he has many friends here who will assist him in any manner possible. r— 0 A DEATH LAST NIGHT. The Daughter of Mr. and Mr®. J. ELeßrun is Dead. Fredia, the fifteen months’ old daughter of Mr and Mrs- James E. Leßrun, who reside on Niblick street, died Saturday evening after an illness of several days duration, death resulting from an attack of summer complaint. The babe had just reached the age where the fond parents had commenced to think that it was a household necessity, and were beginning to plan for its future welfare, when death claimed its own and the parents are grief stricken. The fun- . eral services were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock at the United Brethren, Rev. Kessinger officiating, and interment was made in the Deca- . tur cemetery.

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. David Liby called on them at their home, situated three miles west of Decatur, Sunday and spent the morning very pleasantly by amusing themselves in various ways until dinner time when the guests were served an elegant spread which pen cannot describe.

TWO BERNE SEWER CASES The Transcript in the Straub Larceny Case Filed—News is Scarce. Schurger and Smith filed a quiet title suit in the Adams circuit court, entitled Eliza Hartman et al vs. Clara L. Hoffman and fourteen others- The complaint asks for a partition and quiet title, and will no doubt be one of the first cases of next term. Another case filed by James T. and Jesse C. Sutton is a complaint to a sewer assessment in Berne. The petitioner avers that the assessment of the North sewer is excessive in its present assessed benefits, and will fight it in the courts. A similar case is filed against this same sewer by Christian C. Sprunger. Mayor Coffee filed a transcript of the proceedings in the Mayor’s court, in the case of the State vs. Charles Straub. The defendant was arrested for larceny and at a trial given him, was bound over to the circuit court. The defendant is at liberty under a bond of SSO, Word comes from the auditor of state that no information as to land values will be given out before August sth. Q — BUYS THE HIRAM GLADDEN FARM Auditor C. D. Lewton is the owner of an Adams county farm and a good one, too. The deal was closed Saturady and as a result the old Hiram Gladden farm in Union township passes to the ownership of Mr. Lewton, being sold to him by Mrs. Otto Beardsley. The farm embraces one hundred and sixty acres, and is one of the best in Adams county. Considerable live stock and farm machinery were included in the deal, the. total price paid being $10,875. o A LARGE WHEAT YIELD. I The West is Long on Wheat and the Harvest is Large. Spokane, Wash., July 29. —Forty-five million bushels is the estimated yield this season of the wheat belts in the Idland Empire of the Pacific Northwest, embracing 150,000 square miles of territory in eastern Washington and Oregon, northern Idaho, western Montana and southeastern British Columbia, and of this, it is predicted by John W. Arrasmith, state grain inspector, the growers in the state of Washington will harvest between 30,000,000 and 35,000,000 bushels.

LOGANSPORT COMMITTEE FLUKE Much Regret is Being Expressed Among the One Hundred and Sixtieth Boys. From the tone of a letter received Monday by Major Ed Miller from Logansport, Ind., the famous 160th Indiana Volunteers will not hold their reunion this year as had been anticipated, owing to illness to several members of the entertainment committee at Logansport The reunion was held last year at Warsaw and by a unanimous vote Logansport was selected as the meeting place this year and the local members of this famous regiment were anticipating having a fine time during its progress, but their hopes will be shattered and the famous regiment will not meet this year. The letter was received from D. S. Bender, who was captain of this regiment and in the same he expresses his disappointment and hopes that the Logansport people may see fit to fulfill their part of the agreement at some future time and date. These reunions since the Spanish-American war have been a source of great enjoyment to the surviving members and the event in the past has been largely attended and the members were always royally entertained wherever the event was held and the members were fully expecting to, have a fine time this year..’Major Miller was unable to add anything further than what the letter disclosed, and for this year at least there will be no reunion of the 160th, which was recognized as one of the greatest regiments ever turned , out by Indiana- .■ o AT JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION Will Also Visit Washington, Baltl"more, Philadelp n ia, New York and Other Eastern Cities.

After seeing the sights at Jamestown, they will visit Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Cleveland. The boys will be well taken care of in these cities by the commission men, from the fact that Berling Packing house has dealings with them and all they will have to do is to make themselves knownThese boys have worked diligently for several years without many vacations, and this trip will without doubt be a big treat to them not only in sight seeing, but also in having their minds entirely off of business affairs for a short time. They will return in about four weeks. o CURED OF LUNG TROUBLE. , “It is now eleven years since I had a narrow escape from consumption,” writes C. O. Floyd, a leading business man of Kershaw, S. C. “I had run down in weight to 135 pounds, and coughing was constant, both by day and by night. Finally I began taking Dr. King’s New Discovery, and continued this for about six months, when my cough and lung trouble were entirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight, 170 pounds.” Thousands of persons are healed every i year.
