All Hartford City is aroused and is out in full force to “land” the woman In black, who has suddenly made her appea ance there says the MontIpelier Herald. The mysterious character has been seen by several reliable persons and those going home at a late hour always take the middle of the street. About a year and half ago a character resembling those which have been seen in the surrounding [towns made its appearance in Montpelier. For the past month Hartford City people have been “seeing” the woman in black. A new lid probably would help things at Hartford City.—Bluffton News. Harvey Hart and family have written friends in this city that they expect to move back to Decatur in the next ten days. Mr. Hart and family formerly lived in Decatur and a few year ago they moved to Missouri. Mr. Hart has leased the old Jacob 8. Hart mill building, north of the G. R. and I. railroad depot and intends to open up a coal yard. One by one the Hoosier returns to his native born city and state. Notwithstanding the deceptive allurements held out by the western and southern boomer to come to his country, where the trees in his imagin his imagination, awaits. Indiana hopes to decrease the rate °f mortality more within the next tfi n years, than in the twenty previous years. Secretary Hurt.y says It can be done through the pure mod law and sanitary regulations. Pie greatest enemy now to contend B *th is impure water, but there is a Movement on foot to prevent any City or town from securing their R ater from any other source than from wells, and when that is accomplished the dreaded disease, typhoid 'ever, must stop, and when that is Prevented the battle is almost won. o — HOW TO CURE CHILBLAINS so enjoy freedom from chilblains, ’ frites John Kemp, East Otisfield.

[a new trial was granted In the Beeler Case—Special Meeting of Bar Association Monday to Elect Officers. Arthur L. Hobbs vs. Margaret Hobbs, divorce, is the title of a new complaint filed by attorney L. C. DeVoss. The parties were married October 20, 1901, and lived together until July 9, 1906. Hobbs lives in Root township, but for sevral years lived in Fort Wayne, being employed on the G. R. and I. railway. He accuses his wife of adultery, neglect and other serious charges and asks a plain divorce. Judge Erwin granted a new’ trial in the case of Nina A. Beeler vs. Samuel A. Beeler, replevin, on the grounds that the form of verdict returned was contrary to the courts instructions. A special meeting of the Adams county bar association has been called for Monday morning at nine o’clock for the purpose of electing officers. The present administration, R. S. Peterson, president and C. J. Lutz, secretary, have served since the organization of the association. E. X. Ehinger, executor of the Christina Eiting estate, has filed a petition to compromise a claim and it was so ,ordered. B. J. Smith, administrator of the Joseph Smith estate, was granted permission to sell certain items set out in the inventory. A marriage license was issued to Conrad L. Scheiman, aged twenty-two, of Preble township and Hannah Hockemeyer, aged twenty-two, of Root township. Another couple licensed to wed were George W. Watson, aged thirty-three, of Wells county, and Pozantha E Deere, aged twenty-eight, of Monroe. o Indiana ranks second among the states of the Union in the manufacture of carriages and wagons. Its output in 1905, the year for which the manufacturing census was taken, was valued at $15,228,337. Ohio leads Indiana by a little less than $1,000,000. New York comes third and Michigan fourth. The greatest increase in the value of products between the censuses of 1960 and 1905 is shown for Indiana, the gain being $2,567,120. Each of eight cities reported products valued at $2,000,000 to over $6,000,000. Tom Railing returned from Fort Wayne last night, where he was scheduled to pitch part of the game against the fast Delphos, Ohio, club. “Cyclone” Alberts started in to pitch and did well, consequently Tom was not used in the box. In the ninth inning wijA the score 0 to 0, Railing was substituted to bat in the place of another player and responded to the applause, he received by hitting one on the nose for two sacks and winning the game.

SATISFACTORY REPORT FILED Gives Direct Lines Between Detroit, and Kansas City and Chicago and Kansas City. New York, Sept. 27. —The directors of the Toledo, St. Louis and Western (Clover Leaf) railway, at a meeting here today, voted to sign a contract for the purchase of the Chicago and Alton railway from the Rock Island interests, in accordance with the agreement that such should be done when the Alton received immunity in connection with the Standard Oil rebating investigation. Before the directors acted, a committee submitted an exhaustive report of the physical condition of the road, which was declared highly satisfactory. Under the terms of the sale, Rock Island interests will receive $6.380,000 in 4 per cent collateral trust bonds and $4,120,000 in 2 per cent trust bonds. The old Chicago and Alton board will probably meet next week and resign in a body, after which the new interests will assume control. It is expected that some unifica- | tion of the so-called Shonts-Hawley properties, namely the Toledo, St. Louis and Western, Chciago and Alton, lowa Central and Minneapolis and St. Louis will speedily follow’. It is planned to make direct connections between the lowa Central and Chicago and Alton and the Toledo and St. Louis and Western road, thereby effecting a link with Minneapolis and St. Louis. This will give the unified system direct lines between Detroit, St. Louis and Kansas City, as well as direct lines between Chicago and Kansas City.

CHEAPEST PLACE OF ALL Don’t Patronize the Mail Order House and “Direct to You” Factory if You Would Save. For the next few months a goodly number of Decatur and Adams county people will be interested in the stove question. It matters not what kind is desired, whether it be a hard or soft coal burner, a cook stove or range, every one really desires a new one. The mail order houses and the “factory to you” fellows are pretty smooth in the matter of stove selling They put out finely illustrated catalogs showing pictures of stoves that make one think that the whole stove problem has been solved and that nothing more remains to be known about the matter. Now, as a matter of fact, none of the mail order concerns or the “factory to you” outfits turn out a stove that will withstand the test of long and hard usage. Two and three years is the life of the stoves any of these concerns turn out, while a good stove, one that is made of the right sort of iron and the proper weight, the kind sold by any reputable dealer, will last for ten or more years and consume less coal, thus making the home bought stove much the cheapest in “the long run.” Another particular thing about “the factory to you” fellow is the fact that they never make a second campaign in a town. It is not safe to do it. There are too many examples of the unworthiness of the stoves sold. It is not safe to go back the second time and face the ire of buncoed customers. There is only one safe thing to do when buying a stove get it of a local dealer who advertisers and whose guarantee stands for something. If you drink cocoa or eat chocolates it will be a case of Jig as the prices are going up. Cocoa which has been advancing steadily in price since April was marked up two to three cents a pound last week by various manufacturers. Prices of Cocoa chocolate and chocolate confections are now said to be higher than for twenty-five years, and the reason given by the manufacturers is that the bean costs them more than ever before, and double what it did a year ago. o : Frequently persons will write a joke on some party and wonder why it does not appear. All matter of that kind if accepted at all (and these cases are rare), must submit to having their name published with the article. If not. it would go as the editor’s production, and this would spoil the sense of the article. We are glad to get all the news of every character and as the editor must bear all the responsibility, he reserves the right to formulate according to his own ideas. O. Gandy and Company, Fort Wayne Indiana, have just received from the factory at Kokomo, another 40 horse power seven passenger Apperson Brothers’ automobile to assist in taking care of their large and constantly increasing farm land business.

PROPER NOTICE IS SERVED Henry Kritzman Wants to be Released from any Responsibility on Bond. a Henry Kritzman, one of the sureties on the bond of H. Fred Bohnke, who was recently appointed by the mayor as marshal of the city of Decatur, on yesterday served notice on Mr. Bohnks that he desired to be relieved from his bond and that unless he, Bohnke, procured another bond and filed the same with the mayor that he would go into the Adams Circuit court and ask to be discharged. This is a new feature in the two marshal squabble, and it will take some hustling on the part of Mr. Bohnke to procure another bond and file the same to the approval of the mayor without losing some time as a city official. Mr. Kritzman informs us that when he signed Mr. Bohnke’s bond he was made to believe at that time that there would be no trouble in the matter as Green would resign and that he Bohnke would be appointed and the matter would then be closed. This explanation at the time he says satified him and that under these circumstances he signed the bond. However, since the trouble between the mayor, Green and Bohnke has assumed the shape it has he does not care to be further run the responsibility of being a surety to Mr. Bohnke’s bond and now asks to be relieved. Mr. Kritzman has secured legal advise in the matter and has been advised to go into the circuit court and there ask to be relieved, which is the speediest remedy, as the matter now stands. With one of the surety going off his bond it will be absolutely necessary for Mr. Bohnke to secure a new signature to the same which means some delay and some trouble. Bohnke as well as Green is commencing to find out that the life of a marshal is not strewn with roses.

DECATUR PEOPLE WERE THERE Popular Adams County Young Lady Becomes Bride of Mr. Bennett, of Union City. At the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Myers, three and one-half miles west of this city, on Thursday evening, Sept. 26, occurred the wedding of their daughter, Leia Maude, to Russell E. Bennett. At promptly 6:30 o'clock the bride and groom, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Acker, entered the drawing room. After the simple, but impressive ceremony, was performed by the Rev. Mr. E. L. Jones of Monroe, Ind., congratulations were extended by the assembled guests. At 8:00 o’clock an elegant wedding dinner of five courses was served and presided over by Miss Minta Acker, of this city. The rooms and tables were beautifully decorated with ferns and carnations. The bride is a charming and popular young lady of nineteen, who for the past two years has made great success in the school room. Mr. Bennett’s home is in Union City, where he has been in the restaurant business, but owing to his health, has accepted a position w’ith Schaff Bros, piano company, of Huntington, Ind., w’here he was employed as salesman last winter. He will assume his new duty on the fifteenth of the following month, and they will make Huntington their future home. There were about sev-enty-five invited guests. Those out-of-town, who were present being: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Acker, of Geneva, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Jones, of Monroe, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. E. Blazer, of Rockford, Ohio.; Mrs. Purl Turner, and Mrs. Ed Fouts, of Union City, Ind.; Misses Celie Steele and Mina Case, of Magley, Ind.; Misses Jesse Berry, Hannah Joebker, Laura, Turnbleson, Nellie and Marie Daniels, Cleo Henry and Matilda Sellemeyer. of Preble, Ind.; Miss Augusta Deam, of Ossian, Ind. o GOOD SHOWING LAST YEAR. Indiana School for Feeble Minded Close Year’s Work. The board of trustees of the Indiana school for feeble minded youth yesterday closed the accounts for the fiscal year of the institution.

One new instructor, a kindergarten teacher, has been added to the faculty. She is Miss Ellis, a graduate of the Valparaiso Wormal school. DEMOCRAT WANT ADS. PAY.

MIGHTY MIND BATTLE He is at the Head of Standard Oil Inquiry and is Making Good. New York, Sept. 30. —Amidst all the alarms and startling news produced by the Standard Oil hearing in the grey old federal building in this city, there is nothing more interesting than the personality of the government’s chief inquisitor, United States Special Assistant Attorney-General Frank B. Kellogg. He is a tall, well-built, whitehaired gentleman of the old-fashioned histrionic type of western lawyer. He is over sixty, but he has the nervous vitality of a man of forty who has tak- 1 en care of himself. Were it not for the beautiful, curly, snow-white hair, it would be difficult to believe his own assertion about his age. He has none of the calm, impersonal persistence of Governor Hughes, but he gets his results by the sheer force of his nervous insistence upon the point he desires to clear up. It is vividly interesting to see this man from St. Paul stride back and forth in the dingy federal chamber in his battle of will and wits with the best and most elusive minds that modern business methods have produced. Newspapermen are usually good judges of men, and the men whose business it is to record the progress of the hearing are almost unanimous in their opinion that Kellogg will be successful in smashing the Standard Oil Trust. His battle with John D. Rockefeller is anticipated with extraordinary interest. It is said that Roger’s sudden breakdown was especially brought about so that he might not be obliged to appear before this inquisiton. Mr. Kellogg is the government trust buster who brought about the dissolution of the Western Paper Trust in Minnesota three years ago. o DEMOCRATS ACTIVE His Presidential Boom to Be Launched at a Conferference Wednesday. Wilmington, Del., September 30. — The presidential boom of Federal Judge George Gray, of this city, will be formally launched at an important conference of prominent Democrats of Delaware to be held here Wednesday night. This will be the first meeting on the subject the effect of which the judge’s friends hope will spread throughout the country. Thomas F. Bayard, Democratic state chairman, today expressed his approval of the Gray boom. A meeting of the Democratic state committee will soon be called to secure an indorsement of the judge for the presidency. Resolutions will be adopted calling upon the next Democratic state convention to send delegates to the national convention who will stand by the judge to the last. The promoters of the boom will get in touch with national Democrats of prominence. The judge declines to announce himself as a candidate for the honor because of his judicial position. The movement has been starred early’ to gain headway. The Gray boom was sprung so late in 1904 that it was overshadowed by the Parker campaign. This will not be rhe case next year. o “Turn that wrapping paper the other side out“ said a lady in a drygoods store as the clerk was tying up her purchase in a wrapping paper almost covered with conspicuous letters. “1 read the papers as most intelligent persons do and think in them is the place to advertise your business, instead of asking your customers to carry your signs around with each purchase of goods—tell the people through the medium of the papers what you have to sell and how you sell it.” Dr. C. V. Connell went to Berne this afternoon to look after professional business.

PASS THIS SECTION Decatur Directly on Route and We May See a Part of the Big Airships. People of Decatur and Adams county are probably unaware that Adams county wll lie directly on the route of a great balloon race, the first ever held in America, which will start at St. Louis on the afternoon of October 21 and is to end at the Atlantic coast toward Bosten and New York. Eighteen or more balloons will be entered in the race and all will pass over this section of the country. The chances are ten to one that a part of the balloons will be seen here and it is possible that one or two may pass directly over Adams county as the county is on the direct route of the race. The balloons probably will pass over this district at night. Weather forecasts for that part of rhe month are for fair weather with fair skies and moon so that many an inhabitant of the county may have the opportunity of watching a race. It is highly probable, if the weather is fair that watching parties will be organized for the purpose of keeping watch for the participants in the race. The latter is for the Gor-don-Bennett cup which was recently brought to America by Lt. Lahmn and Major Hersey, the latter the member of the Wellman expedition of which Dr. Fowler of Bluffton is also a member. Messrs. Lahmn and Hersey won the cup in the last big balloon race in Paris. o OFFICERS ELECTED Judge Heller Chosen to Succeed R. S. Peterson, Who Served Eighteen Years. The Adams County Bar association held a special meeting at the court room at 9 o’clock Monday morning. The association was organized in 1888 nineteen years ago. and R. S. Peterson, as president, and C. J. Lutz, as secretary, elected at that time, have served continuously since. This meeting was called at their request for the purpose of electing officers to relieve them from their arduous duties. Mr. Peterson placed Judge Daniel D. Heller in nomination, the rules were suspended and the chairman authorized to cast the entire vote for Mr. Heller. The judge thanked his fellow members of the bar for the honor, and at once assumed charge of the meeting, the election proceeding. The following officers were unanimously chosen: Vice-president, Shafer Peterson; secretary, J. Fred Fruchte; treasurer, E. Burt Lenhart. Upon motion by Judge J. T. Merryman, a committee consisting of Shafer Peterson, Paul G. Hooper and C. J. Lutz was appointed to prepare a list of the members of the bar, as admitted, and they will hereafter be called by the court in that order. —o Mrs. D. V. Steele left this afternoon for Fort Wayne to attend the funeral of her nephew’, A. G. Myers, who was instantly killed at Wanatah station last Saturday. <
