David Hurt, living on east Wabash street, had been to Decatur, taking in the fair. He re-' turned on the eleven o’clock car, and started, as he thought, for home. Instead, he was going west, and soon began to wonder that he passed no familiar places. He turned about, but in his wanderings became only the more at sea. Finally, by the foundry, after fully a half hour’s tramp, he met George Stout, and asked him where he was and which way was his honofe. Os course he appreciated fully, the fact that the joke was on him when he was told where he was, and begged like a good man for his friend not to give the.story out. It became known, just the same, and today, he is laughing with his friends at his own bewilderment.—Blufftfin Banner. ——o — TO CONDUCT BIG STOCK SALE D. E.

I JURY THREW OFF THE COSTS. Man Who Harbored Ddg Was Fined One Cent. “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty as charged in the affidavit, and ask that he be fined, in the sum of one cent, and that our costs as jurors be thrown off.” Such was the verdict of the jury that ried John Haines, charged with not paying taxes on a dog he harbored, in the court of Justice George H> Himes, yesterday morning. ) “That was the most peculiar verdict I ever heard of,” said an attorney lastnight in commenting on the verdict, and particularly that portion in which the jury costs were remitted. “I expect to get a picture of that jury and a true copy of the verdict,” he continued ,and forward the sanie to a paper that is published for the legal profession. ‘ Haines was assessed on the dog in this city, but he later moved to Dunkirk. When he learned that a charge had been preferred against him. he came to Muncie and settled the tax with Trustee C. E. Lambert. This did not exempt Haines, however, for he was arrested by a constable. Attorney C. A. Taughinbaugh, who represented Haines, said he would appeal to the circuit court on Recount of the affidavit being faulty —Muncie Star. ——o UMPIRE GARDNER WAS CHEERED When He Whipped Four- Members of Bluffton Team. Pearl Laßue, captain of the Bluffton base ball team and Umpire Frank Gardner were arrested Saturday evning by Sheriff Meredith for participating in a fistic encounter at Athletic park Saturday afternoon -during a game between the Richmond and Bluffton teams of the Indiana-Ohio league. Manager Clarance Jessup of the Richmond team furnished bond for Laßue and Gardner after their arrest. Both men will be tried Monday morning in the city court, each being charged with assault and battery. Gardner will enter a plea of not guilty, claiming that he fought in ' self-defense. The encounter between Laßue and Gardner was a preliminary to a gen- ' eral fight in the latter part of the J fourth inning in which Gardner tried to whip the entire Bluffton team. ' After Gardner had disposed of Second baseman Donovan and First Base- 1 man Wills and was engaged in a wrest- : ling match with Center Fielder Part- 1 low, Sheriff Meredith arrived on the 1 scene, and jading into a crowd of excited players of both teams, wielding his mace, he succeeded in quelling the .! disturbance. The game little umpire, after the dust of battle had settled, was roundly cheered by "the excited rooters. As a result of the fight La- , Rue has. a discolored face, Donovan a , black eye and Parjlow a cut chin. '] Gardner shows no signs of battle. He ' reported his trouble to President 1 Kling of the league Saturday evening ' over the long distance teelphone and : his description of the fight told in ’ the racy, picturesque language of the < ball field, convulsed his auditors.— ' Richmond Palladium.

EACH CHARGED WITH DRUNK « And Each Drew the Usual Dose of a Dollar and Costs—Two Pay and One Goes to Jail. Mayor Coffee was busily engaged Monday morning In holding court, •and taking care of three victims who had found their way Into the meshes of justice and had wandered into the wayward path. The first victim called was George Worden, who strayed into our city Saturday, loaded up on booze and became so intoxicated that he couldn’t find his way home and asked Marshal Green to take care of him. Ha spent Sunday with Sheri# Meyers and Monday morning told his little tale of woe that in the end cost him nine dollars and thirty cents. Worden stayed the docket and was discharged. The next in order was William Elzey, who also got drunk Saturday and was in such a copditlon when arrested by Marshal Green that he could hardly, navigate. Elzey Sundayed at the jail, having no other place to go, and next morning acknowledged his guilt, was given the usual old dose, which he promptly paid and was discharged. Gus Kavanaugh was the last victim to be arraigned, he having been arrested Sunday by Marshal Green on a charge of intoxication, he having as he claimed secured his booze Saturday evening. Kavanaugh was ,a member of the dog and pony show that gave an exhibition all last week at the fair and put up a very pitiful tale about his presence being needed at Portland this week. Mayor Coffee, however, seemed loath to part with Kavanaugh’s company and gave him the usual dose and he will spend ten days with the sheriff. O OPEN AIR VAUDEVILLE. Many Attractions on this Order Will Be Given Free at the State Fair. , * For some years the management of the Indiana State Fair has been giving an extensive program of vaudeville attractions which have entertained peo. pie by the hundreds of thousands. This feature of the big exposition, which will be held at Indianapolis the week of September 9, has been so popular that a better list of attractions than ever has been provided. The vaudeville program will be given on a large platform before the grandstand between the heats of the races. The performances will also be presented near the Art building, and at both these points many thousand spectators may see the attractions. The vaudeville will be made up of acrobatic, trapeze and swinging ladder feats, both difficult and humorous, and there will b’e a troupe of bicyclists who will show their talent in trick riding. o 1 ' Misses Ruby and Ruth Parish, of Decatur, are the guests of Miss Jessie Hesher and Mr. and Mrs. Harve Elzey. They arrived yesterday and will spend a week here.—Bluffton Banner. 0 FIRE COMPANY'S GOOD WORK *" * • Reported Promptly and Their Work Saved the Building from a Total Loiss. Fire was discovered early Monday morning in the west end restaurant by Charles Dutcher, and Tor a time, it looked as if the building was doomed. The alarm was turned in promptly and in a few moments the west company were one the scene and had a stream of water playing on the blaze, which was confined to the cellar and in a short time had the fire under control and all danger was over. How the fire originated no one seems able to state, and the same will no doubt always be a mystery. Mr. Dutches went to Ft. Wayne yesterday at noon and the store was left in charge of his wife, who closed the 'same up about nine o’clock and at two-thirty this morning the alarm was sounded. The damage done was slight and is fully covered by insurance. The work of the fire department is worthy of special mention, as they made the quickest run on record and their early appearance on the scene no doubt saved a serious loss. « o SAVED HER SON'S LIFE. The happiest mother in the little town of Ava, Mo., is Mrs. S. Ruppee. She writes: “One year ago my son was down with such serious lung trouble that our physician was unable to help him; when, by our Jruggist’s advice I began giving him Dr. King’s New Discovery, and I soon noticed improvement.’ I kept this treatment up for a few weeks when he was perfectly well. He has wonted steadily since at carpenter work. Dr. King’s New Discovery saved his ife.” Guaranteed by Blackburn Pharmacy. 50c and SI.OO Trial Bottle free.

A deal that has been hanging fire for several days between Charles Sullivan and M. E. Babcock, proprietor of the Decatur newstand, was closed late Saturday night and Mr. Sullivan became the proprietor of the newspaper routes and all that goes with them. Mr. Sullivan has been ne. gotiatlng for this business for several weeks, but not until Saturday night could the gentlemen come to a definite agreement. By this transaction Mr. feullivan will have charge of the routes and Mr. Babcock will retain his retail cigar and candy business in the interurban, station. Both gentiemen are possessed of business qualifies/ tions that mean success to them in what they undertake and their friends are joined by the Democrat in wishing them an abundance of prosperity in their business ventures.

I consulted the very best medical skill available, but could get no relief until Foley’s Kidney Cure was recommended to me. It has been a Godsend to me."

i WANTS HIS LIFE ESTATE] I X I Has Lived on Same Farm for Fifty ! Six Years and Wants to Re main There. Henry Young vs. Sarah and Walter 1 Hetler, to reform a deed, is the title’ of a new case filed by Attorneys Schur- i ger and Smith, %nd the complaint tells j an interesting story. Mr. Young, the plaintiff, is eighty-three years old and has lived in this county more than i an ordinary lifetime. For fifty-six 1 years he has lived on the same sixty acre farm in Blue Creek township. Seven years ago he thought the end of his days was near and wishing to settle up his earthly affairs In a clean and satisfactory manner, he gave each of his three children a deed for twenty acres, with the understanding that he was to hold a life estate therein and receive two-fifths of all the' crops. This agreement has been car- ; rled out to the letter, but in the meantime the daughter to whom was, given the old home where Uncle Henry has lived so many years died, leaving a married daughter, Mrs. Walter Het ler, who has since lived at the old place and carried out the former agreement Now she and her husband want to move to Muncie, and want to rent the old homestead for cash. This would drive the old man away from the spot he loves and he has brought thte suit to reform 'the deed and, establish a legal life estate. / • o r THAT OF REV. D. B. RECKARD Bequeaths Property to His Wife Provided She Doesn’t Harbor Her Brother William. One of the strangest wills ever probated in this county was that of Rev. Durling B. Reckard, who died a few days ago. After providing for tire payment of his debts and funeral expenses, Rev. Reckard bequeaths all his prqperty, both real and personal, Including lot No. 19 iaFreawg’s addition to Decatur, to Miss Margaret V. Hill, whom he afterward married, provided, however, that she in no manner harbor, board, lodge or assist her brother John W. Hill, better known as “Bill.” In case she should violate this pai;t of the will, then his property is to go to the “State Mission Board of the Indiana convention of the Baptist church, except she shall be paid at the rate of two dollars per week from May 1, 1906, until time of his death as compensation for wages rendered in keeping house for him.” Attorney Paul G. Hooper Is named as executor of the will with instructions to see that this one clause is strictly carried out. However, Mrs. Reckard is given the right to dispose of the said property if necessary or desired. The will was written February 25th last and witnessed by E. B. Lenhart and David Eley. Rev. Reckard was married to Miss Hill on June 18th last. o “Bismark, ’’ of Berne, the only retl and original glasseater,was in the city Wednesday evening very much- under the influence of tangle foot and entertained a large audience at the G. R. and I. and L. E. and W, depots. He was on his Way to Celina, to attend the fair. He was exceedingly full but when any one would make reference to his drunken condition he would become angered. He said the" devil had him and could not overcome ■ his desire for booze. He is regarded as a clever joker among strangers, when he is not remhided of his bad habits and furnishes no end of fun for those who give him an ear.— Portland Sun. o Here l« Relief for Women.

Many new cement sidewalks are | under construction at present and the {city is presenting a much better api pearance than heretofore. Special Detective Croy, of the Clover Leaf, sent to Bowman to invesi tigate the cause of the wreck at that point, has learned that the switch was thrown by two boys at Bowman, , who were “monkeying” with it. Being unable to replace it they went to ithe elevator to get some men to help {them and while they were gone the accident took place.—Frankfort Crescent. Charging that his wife was a perpetual knocker and constantly complained of the home that he had provided for her and that she left him on last January and refused to live with him any longer, Emerson C. Bolander*~ this afternoon filed suit for divorce from his wife, May Bolander. Bowers and Feightner filed the suit. —Huntington Democrat. Charles Stevens, a horseman from i Warren, narrowly escaped death Wednesday night at Huntington when , he was attacked by a Belgian stallion, weighing almost 2,000 pounds, as he was leading the horse. Roland Banister, a bartender In a nearby saloon, hearing the cries of Stevens, rushed out Into the alley and grabbing a huge club standing at the side of the door, he succeeded in beating the animal off so that Stevens could drag himself to shelter. The horse belonged to the Souers farm near Warren. Stevens had to be taken to a hospital, j Im a wedding writeup in a Nebraska paper appears the following: “It was a delightful affair for all and a relief for the bride’s father, who is a poor hard working man. The groom is a tall, handsome fellow and should not be blamed for his brother being in the penitentiary for horse stealing. Miss Katie looked beautiful, wearing a large red hair ribbon in tyer locks, and the groom has whiskers. Nothing like being definite. x - It Is downright nonsense to indulge the thought that the world is against you. The fellow with such a notion under his hat is paving the way for trouble. The world is too big and too busy to be especially concerned with any one of us. So don’t waste time pitying yourself. Fate has not singled you out for hatd, knocks. You’re get. ting yur share, perhaps; but so Is the other fellow. Leadership of the success procession is attained without a struggle. If you depend on circumstances to push you to the front you will never get there. The struggle Is good for you so make yourself good for the struggle. Not at any time since the early part of the year has there been a lull in development work or a cessation in the search for new pools or extensions to the old fields in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. In both directions so little has been accomplished as to attract little attention to any particular quarter. None of the producing districts outside the Illinois gusher territory is attracting any attention worth mention--ing, but with better prices for the crude product and cessation of operations in Illinois more work would be done in the older fields mentioned. Jay county still holds the boards in the Indiana field, as does Wood county in northwestern Ohio.
