If this hot dry weather will only' last a few days longer the farmers' will have their hay and wheat all• harvested and out of the way of the! rains, according to farmers in this 10- j callty. Although considerable wheat has been cut, farmers in some localities claim that some of their grain will be too green to cut for a couple of days yet. The timothy hay has, been badly beaten down by the recent j rains and wind, and unless the weather remains dry for a few days the farmers will be unable to save it. So scarce is farm help that many farmers have offered $2 per day for help, guaranteeing them ninety days work and possibly all fJill and winter. ■■ ■ i

! When Steven Ridlen, the agent of the Monon at Linden, went to open Jup the station Wednesday between ! five and six o’clock his eyes met a grewsome sight On the tracks just opposite the Greer-Wilkinson lumber yard and a little north of the Clover Leaf crossing, he discovered the man- , gled body of Elias Baker. There was j a terrible gash in his sk'ull and his brains had partly oozed out on the ground. His limbs were crushed and the body mangled. He had been struck by either a Monon or Clover Leaf train during the night. His folks reside at Lafayette- —Frankfort Crescent.

REPORT PROVED HIS SURPRISE 1 1 - The Merchants Had Guarantees that 1 ■ the Goods Were the Pure Stuff, But they Were Not. I Eight local grocers and butchers, buncoed into selling x adulterated pork sausage and vinegar by guarantees from the whoisale firms that the goods were strictly pure, have been notified by Deputy Health Office and Pure Food Inspector Guy R. Coffin, of Indianap- . olis, that they are liable for fines under the pure food laws of the state. In every case the merchants were guiltless of any intention to deceive their customers —every one of them thought the goods they were selling were perfectly pure and Mr. Coffin’s actions, which came as the result of his investigations here, proved a veritable bombshell. Two of the merchants, Francis J. Sessions, a Grand street meat market man, and James H. Eaken, the Main street grocer, pleaded guilty to the charges filed against them this morning in Justice Hanthorn’s court and paid their fines and costs. Mr. Sessions was indicted for selling adulterated pork sausage and was fined one dollar and costs, amounting to nine dollars. James H. Eaken was indicted for labeling adulterated vinegar as pure and was fined $lO and costs, amounting to $lB. Both of these merchants have guarantees from the manufacturers of the goods that they were perfectly pure, and these manufacturers wjll be made to stand the fine. — Ft.

Goodman, at Indianapolis, occurred the marriage of her daughter, Miss Frances M. France to Albert C. Reichert at 8 o’clock Wednesday evening. A number of. friends and relatives were present and an elegant luncheon was served after the ceremony. Among the out-of-town guests were Miss Beatrice Billman, of Decatur and Miss Alice Rogers, of Cleve-

land, O. Mr. and Mrs- Reichert will leave for their new home in Harrisburg, Pa., Friday morning, stopping in Cleveland, Buffalo and Pitsburg on the way. The bride received many beautiful presents. Miss France was a former resident of Decatur, and well known, and Mr. Reichert is an estimable young man. o STUCK SEVERAL BUSINESS MEN Received Pardon Few Days Ago and at Once Arranged to Jump His Creditors. Kirt Johnson, a well known young man of our city has left for parts unknown according to several business men who are making every effort t</ locate the young man, as they are holding the sack. Johnson is the young man who served a tgrm in the penitentiary at Jeffersonville for forging a check, and who was released about a year ago and for a time was on parole. However, the governor seemed to think the young man was doing all right from the reports he received and informed the pardon board to issue him a pardon which they did he receiving the same a few days ago. After returning from Jeffersonville, Johnson conducted himself like a gentleman, and worked hard every day. A few months ago he fell while pursuing his dally work and had the misfortune to break his leg. His many friends who thought he was deserving of help came to his aid and assisted him financially. He, however, no sooner got well than he went to a certain clothing store, secured a sixteen dollar suit for which he asked for credit and got it, and he also procured a pair of shoes on the same game- Two days ago, the day he had promised to make his payments, his creditors endeavored to find him, but were informed that he had left for parts unknown, and the business men are accordingly holding the sack. Dame Rumor has it that Johnson loft because he got in trouble with a certain lady, but whether this is true cr not we are unable to state. o Try ff Democrat “Want Ad.”

MANY COMPLAINTS ARE FILED Railroad Commission Makes No Difference Between Steam and Interurban Railroads. * Contrary to the legal opinion of At-torney-General James Bingham, the state railroad commission has held that the two-cent fare law, passed by the last General Assembly, applies to interurbans as well as to steam roads, and a suit will be instituted soon, against some traction company to compel such company to accept two cents a mile as the rate for passenger tickets. Many complaints have come to the commission showing that the twocent fare law is being violated by the interurbans. The suit will determine whether or not the law applies to Interurbans and thus settle a matter that involves, in away, the constitutionality of the two-cent fare law itself- In a formal opinion given the commission several months ago the attorney-general held that the law applied only to steam roads, and that there was no similarity between the steam and the electric roads substantial enough to warrant the application of the two-cent fare law of the railroad to the operation of interurbans. Immediately prominent lawyers in the city raised the question as to the constitutionality of the two-cent fare law did not apply to interurbans. They pointed out that the tendency of the higher courts of this'state had been recently to class the steam and the electric railroads together and that every new opinion involving this point made the analogy and similarity between thse two transportation agencies closer and closer. This being true, the lawyers argued that if the two-cent rate law did not apply to the interurbans, it was not at all unlikely that the courts would declare it to be unconstitutional, as being class legislation, discriminative against one class, the steam roads, in favor of another class the electric roads. o ■ — DEMORCAT Want Ad« Pay Big.

The school board at a meeting held Wednesday Evening selected Miss Johnson, of FairmoUnt, to serve as teacher in English in the high school in the place of Miss Byerly, who resigned a few days ago- Miss Johnson is a graduate of Earlham college, and has had one year at Bryn Mawr. She comes well recommended. The warm weather does not seem t® effect the attendance at the moving picture shows in the least, as both of these popular places of amusement were packed to the limit last evening by those desiring to see the new films. The managers of these two concerns are to be congratulated upon the first class entertainment they are furnishing the public. Earl Shalley took a picture of a Case threshing machine Tuesday morning that was in a bad case. It was being brought to town on Monday evening by Daniel Stauffer and Peter Moser from the west, and when they had reached the corporation line they drove too far off the road with the engine, so that the separator began to swing and toppled over on the fence. They left it lay there until the next day, when, they raised it without much difficulty. The machine was not damaged much. —Berne Witness. The Clove Leaf’s hoodoo got busy and caused three wrecks on the system before the arrival of daylight Wednesday morning. The first mishap occurred on the Wabash bridge when a brake shoe dropped from its hangings and ditched a car. This accident was the scene of tieing up passenger traffic for a few hours. —Frankfort Crescent The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Clem Knoff Thursday night came within an ace of losing his life by being struck by a fast freight, and was only saved by the presence of mind of one Charles Rainear, who saw the danger of the little chap and pulled him off the track just in the nick of time. The little fellow did not see the train coming and would have undoubtedly have been struck had not Mr. Rainear pulled him away when he did. The escape was a narrow one and Mr. and Mrs. Knoff are indeed thankful to Mr. Rainear for his heroic action in saving their child.
