IS OUT ON BOND. The Affidavit Alleges That Forty Dollars Was Stolen from John Joseph. Harry Miller, a well- known young man of thia city was arrested last week by Marshal Green upon an affidavit filed by John Joseph, the candy man, on Monroe street, on a charge of larceny, the affidavit alleging that young Miller stole forty dollars belonging to Joseph. Miller had his hearing this morning before Squire James N. Smith, and the evidence developed the fact that Joseph had engaged young Miller to work for him last Monday in the way of building a small chicken coop. During the progress of the work it became necessary to have wire netting to finish the job, and Joseph left the store in charge of Miller while he afeut to the hardware store to procure the necessary article. While he was gone, he alleged that Miller broke into his trunk in the front part of the store and took therefrom the sum of forty dollars. This money, however, he did not miss until evening, when he found that the trunk had been broken into and forty dollars taken from a roll of bills amounting to eighthundred dollars. Miller quit work at noon that day, but in the evening came back to draw his pay, when Joseph accused him of the theft. Miller stoutly denied the charge, but last evening was arrested by Marshal Green. The court after hearing all the evidence concluded that the best thing to do at this time would be to bind the boy over to the circuit court, which he did in the sum of four hundred dollars, where the case will be tried sometime at the next term. The evidence is purely circumstantial, as no one saw the lad take the money, and since the same has been missing no one saw the boy spending anything. Jacob Miller, the boy's father, went on his bond, and he was permitted to gq his way. Roscoe Elzey, Louis Weis and Red Elzey were arrested by Constable F. E, Smith on a charge of robbing a watermelon patch, John Conrad being the prosecuting witness, and the man who filed the affidavit. The boys all plead guilty and were assessed a fine of fifty cents and costs in each case, which they paid and were discharged. Acording to the latest report from Pierceton the temperance people are seven signatures shy of having enough to make the town go dry. When the remonstrance was filed, more than a majority of the voters of the township had signed it, but subsequently several of them signed cards withdrawing their names from the remonstrance. The intention now Is to drop the matter for the present and renew the fight this month with the expectation of winning at the November term of commissioners’ court. All the ward in Warsaw have gone dry. —Columbia City Post

WAS KNOWN HERE. t An Operation Performed in July Showed Recovery to Be Impossible. ; Mrs. Frank Studabaker died Tuest day at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Studabaker at Bluffton. From Monday evening until the hour of her death 5 she suffered twenty-five convulsions. 1 Her death was due to tubercular peri- - tonltis, from which she suffered two years, undergoing a severe opera- . tion last July. Francis Maude Adams was the ’ daughter of A. M. and Frances L. • Adams, and was born December 30, i 1873, in Buffalo, N. Y., and for several . years she with her parents lived in Lancaster. N. Y. She was united in marriage to Frank L. Studabaker 1 February 8, 1899. Soon after their marriage they went to Kokomo, where > they lived only a few months and then removed to Warren. Here they rei sided until three years ago when they ■ moved to the Studabaker stock farm i near Van Buren, where they have since i lived. i Four children were born to this union, thre of whom are living, Ber- ! tha, aged seven years, David J., six years, and Rebecca, two years. Hoi mer died in infancy. She leaves be- ’ side her husband and three children to mourn her death her mother, who resides at Silver Creek, New York, three full sisters, and one full brother, who all live in the East, and two half sisters, Mrs. W. D. Mason, of this city, and Mrs. Hannan, of Buffalo. The funeral will be held here Friday afternoon at two o’clock from the Studabaker home at Bluffton. —o IN DIVORCE CASE.

Says He is to Blame and That His Affections Have Been Won by Another. Mrs. Hobbs, of Fort Wayne, against whom divorce proceedings have been instituted by her husband, Arthur Hobbs, of Williams, was in the city Thursday to answer the summons and she states that she will fight the case to the bitter end. She is very indignant over the fact that her husband has made such serious charges in his complaint, which she says are absolutely false, and that the only reason her husband is seeking a separation is that his affections have been alienated by the attentions of another woman, who is also married. According to her statements, she and Mr. Hobbs have lived happily united about a year, when he began relations with other women, which took his mind from his home and little child. Mrs. Hobbs is all broken up over the action that has been brought, and should her assertions be true, she deserves the sympathy of the people for the manner in which her husband asks for the divorce and for th® sake of their four-year-old child-

TEN THOUSAND HEAR The Peerless Leader is Ace High With the Indiana Democrats. Bloomfield, Ind., Oct. 9. —Something like 10,009 people collected in a grove west of 'own th'S afternoon and whooped '.t up for William Jennings Bryan and the caure of pure demo? racy. They stood for two hours and by shouts and laughs and handclapping gave the Nebraskan the impression that they heartily agreed with everything he said. When he had finished they pulled him down out of the speaker’s stand and pushed and shoved and fought for the chance to shake his hand. Bryan's views on the third term idea caused more after comment than any of the other subjects that he discussed this afternoon. Mr. Bryan’s adroitness and tact in discussing “the third term idea" challenged the admiration of even the Republicans who heard him. Apparently in a very innocent manner he began by pointing out differences between the theories of government held by Alexander Hamilton and those of Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton, he said, in his mistrust of the people wanted the president elected for life, long tenures for senators, while Jefferson contended for short terms and frequent elections in order that the people might control their public servants. “History has shown that Jefferson was right,” declared Bryan. “The idea that man should hold elective of- ■ fice for life in this republic is repugnant to every citizen. We are not willing for the President to hold the office for more than two terms. Roosevelt was quick to say on the night of his election in 1904 that he regarded this as his second term, and that he would not be a candidate for a third term.” At this point Mr. Bryan ceased being serious, and added with a smile: “Now none of us should want the President to be elected for life. President Roosevelt is a young man in good health to-day, for Grover Cleveland Is still living.” Following this Mr. Bryan discussed the tariff, trusts, “swollen fortunes," the income tax and the referendum.

CASE IS FAMOUS. Has Been in Litigation for Several Years and Affects Three Counties. “It is strange what little things will sometimes go into history,” said Treasurer A. C. Fast the other day to a party of men that were talking of the Fast and Little River ditch that is now in the Allen county cours. “Do you know that although my name is used in connection with that ditch I was not one of the leaders in getting up the petition and on the original document my name was preceded by nearly a dozen others. After the original petition was all signed, however, it was found that some mistake had been made and so a number of petitions on the new form were struck off and sent to the signers of the original petition. I happened to be the first to sign one of these amended petitions and when the lawyers made up the petitinos to present in court it so happened that the one I had signed was the first. So the ditch became known as the Fast ditch.

A SIX MEN CREW. Such a volume of freight business is being done on this division of the G. R. & I. Railroad that it has become necessary to put on two extra switching crews to assemble the north and south freight cars, so that the through freight trains can pick up their loads without the large amount of switching that they were compelled to do heretofore. A switching engine and crew lays over in this city every night. At six o'clock in the morning they report at the depot and do the work around the yards that is necessary, after which they go southward as far as Manchester assembling freight cars that are to be shipped as they go, returning here in the evening of the following day. However, while one crew stays over night in Winchester, the other is in Decatur. Tracks are being put In south of Krick and Tyndalls life mile, for the purpose of transporting coal there for use in the switch engines. Just how long this service will continue is not known, but so long as4.be road enjoys the amount of freight patronage that it does at the present time, such a system is necessary.

A marriage license was issued to Herman Messmann, aged thirty, of Woodburn, Indiana, and Louise Wischmeyer, aged twenty-seven, of Bingen. The groom was married once before, his wife having died May 27th, 1096. Attorneys Peterson and Moran filed a new petition for a drain in Blue Creek township, the same being signed by Mathias Miller and others. o John E. Reed, auditor of state's office, has completed the sexennial enumeration of the voters of Indiana. His report shows a total of 745,245 voters in the state. The preceding enumeration of this kind showed that there were 694,346 voters, of whom, 15,272 were colored. The report just compiled shows 17,065 colored voters. Blackford county Is credited with 4,545 voters. Os that number 18 are colored. The census just completed will be used by the legislature of 1909 in reapportioning the senators and representatives of Indiana. The unit of representatives will be 7,425, while the senatorial unit will be 14,905. —Hartford City Gazette. o Those affected by the improvement are already beginning to complain of inequalities. It is held by those living back from the ditch ata distance of four or five miles that their tax of forty or fifty cents on the acre is out of proportion to the amounts to be paid by those who are right in the valley of the improvement and whose land will be changed from swampy ground worth almost nothing to fine farming land. It is said that the high est assessment at any portion of the ditch is ten dollars an acre. —Huntington News Democrat.

Contractor Julius Haugh has begun to lay the curb stone on Seventh street, preparatory to the pavemen of same. Passenger trafic was greatly delayed as train No. 4, due here at 12:33 was reported as being two hours behind her regular schedule.—Charleston Courier. There was a chap who owned a store Bert Webber, of Van Wert, was a business caller in our city, and left last evening on a business trip to Bluffton. W. H. Pletcher, who has been fulfilling the place of G. W. Dull, as agent at the Clover Leaf, has been notified that he is to retain this position, as Mr. Dull has resigned. Mr. Pletcher will move here at once. Train No. 45 of the Clover Leaf’s fast westbound freight trains was wrecked at an early hour Tuesday on the Donellson hill. At this time it can not be learned to what extent the damage will amount, although it is positively known that no one was injured. The wrecking outfits of the Charleston and Frankfort yards were sent to the scene of the accident as early as it was possible to do so,( and are at work clearing away the debris. A force of Clover Leaf workmen, engaged on the Toledo division for some time, putting In new ties and surfacing tracks where new steel has been laid, were In Delphos last Saturday putting the tracks In the yards in good shape, and have gone to Venedocia, to commence similar work on the west end. —Delphos Herald. A big bouncing baby girl made its appearance Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Baker, on Mercer avenue, and John is busily engaged today in passing out the cigars. Both mother and babe doing well.

Judge Jap Poor, who has ben playing ball with the Monmouth, 111., independent team this season, has returned to this city to spend the winter. Jap played he initial sack and acording to the reports in the Monmouth papers he must have been a favorite with the fans. He will work at the Jason Huggins Meat Market during the winter. Cap Roderick who has been assisting there during the absence of Mr. Huggins, has returned to work for Johnny Hoffman, the well known butcher. — Hartford City News. Among Wisconsin’s many reform laws is one pertaining to secret marriages. It is briefly to the effect that a couple leaving the state and getting married shall upon returning to the state, make declaration of their marriage to the county clerk and have the same recorded. In the event of failure to do so within ten days the parties are subject to a fine of SIOO. This will stop the fool practice of being married a year without telling it just to “fool our friends,” and that will be something worth while. —Rochester Sentinel. Engineer Charley Walde or the Clover Leaf, formerly a resident of Delphos, but now of Frankfort, had a hair raising experience near Bluffton, Ind., last Saturday. As his train, passenger No. 4, was bowling along at the rate of fifty miles an hour he saw a man lying near the rail at a curve. The brakes were applied, but the train could not be stopped in time. After passing the spot the train was stopped and the trainmen went back to investigate and found a drunken man lying at the side of the track, his arm resting on a rail, uninjured. He was not near enough to be struck by the train, but the rumble had awakened him, and he shifted his position nearer to danger. The crew hustled the drunk right off the right-of-way.—Delphos Herald. A year or so ago an Oklahoma woman stumbled over her husband's feet as he was kneeling in prayer in their darkened room and broke her neck. The other night the husband fell backward in his chair off a veranda and broke his neck. It couldn’t be, of course, that the shade of his wife lingering about succumbed to temptation and got even by upsetting him! Miss Alice Kennedy, of Rowan, Indiana, has arrived in the city for a visit with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. James Long.

CHICAGO TOOK FOUR STRAIGHTS. Never Giving the Tigers a Look-in in the World’s Seriee. Chicago took the fourth straight victory from the Tigers Saturday, and thus won the World's Series, establishing a new record, that of not losing a game in the series. Even Deilroit’s most earnest backers admit the Cubs’ superiority, especially noticeable at critical stages and in base running. Chicago is wild over their victory, and celebrated it in grand style. A number of Decatur fans who had planned to go to Chicago Sunday to witness the game, were rather disappointed in the decisive method of the Cubs.

Now that cold weather and winter are coming the father should be nailing up the windows in the barn, the boys should let their whiskers grow, the girls knitting stockings and the mothers weather-boarding the under clothes. The interurban officials of Decatur were business callers here Wednesday afternoon and Thursday forenoon. They are selling stock for the extension of their line to Berne. They have met with fine success here. —Berne News. Won't a sense of shame run up the backs of some people when they get to heaven and can run their bicycles along those golden pavements for miles, and can sit and listen to the music from the cornet, the uute, the harp, the symbols, the baritone, the alto and the stringed instruments, knowing that they have never given a dollar while on eath to help build a church.
