The “woman in black” has been seen again in Hartford City, this time on the south side at the home of R. M. Pyle and Cyrus Burgess. She was seen by the entire family at the Pyle home, where she had entered the yard From there she went across the street to the Burgess home where she was seen to peep into the windows and then disappear around the house. — Hartford City News. Every small boy in the city is making preparations to celebrate Hallow'e’en, which comes on Thursday, the last day of this month. The police are also making preparations to keep the small boy in check. Last year they were able to keep the boys quiet i and the latter did little damage, while all had much innocent fun. Extra police will be sworn in for the occasion. Less damage is being done every year, and youths instead of celebrating out of doors by getting into mischief, are having inside parties and other social events. In the town or Aioany, Alabama, a city of twenty thousand people and containing thirty-one saloons, one woman said a year ago the saloons had to go. For seven months she made a still hunt and made a personal visit to every home In the city and told them to keep still, but on election day to put on their best clothes and come out on the street and work. The election passed off Tuesday of last week, and she carried the olty for local option by over seven hundred majority, put to ’flight- every saloon, and it is said never made an enemy. The. people of the southern part of Indiana wera fortunate during the month of August. The monthly bulletin just issued by the Indiana State Board of Health shows that the dea.h rate in the southern part of the State - was lower than the rate in the northern or central part. Both the sumption death rate, however, was in the southern part of the state, the rate being 143.2 for each 100,000. The total number of deaths in the state in northern and the central part had death rates higher than the average for the entire state. The highest for August was 3,390, the rate being 14.8. A great many farmers are complaining about the present condition of their coni. Those who cut and placed their j corn on shock fear that the wet weather is causing the grain to mould, and the cold, damp weather is preventing ,ythat on tbe stalk from getting ripe. What the tdrmers need most is dry,' windy weather, and riot too cold. It is . thought tfiat two-thirds of the corn this year will not be fit for market or shelling purposes. The pew depository law, which has aroused considerable interest among ' townsMp trustees will soon become operative. Under the new law the adi *fe«s>ioKMrds will met in December, [ and will receive bids from banks and trust - cppapatjies that desire to become g depositories and will make their selection. In this manner should the bank orlrust company go bankrupt the trustees, however, will be supposed to de-' 1 ■ posit in the depositories the funds on the same date that he receives them or as soon thereafter as possible. The trustees will be unable to draw out ■any funds until he has an obligation to pay for the township.

ANOTHER STORY ON BRYAN Some Wise One Thinks He is Itching to Put on the Gloves With Roosevelt. Washington, October 21. —If congress at the coming session prohibits the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the District of Columbia, as now seems probable. President Roosevelt will be in an embarrassing position. For tactical reasons the prohibitionists will tack their bill to an appropriation measure, so as to assure its passage. When such an appropriation bill comes before the president he will have to decided, first, whether he can afford to jeopardize the interests of the branch of the government for which the appropriation is proposed, by veting the whole bill in order to get rid of the objectionable clause. If he decides he cannot afford to interpose a veto he will have to decide whether he shall obey it and furnish no wine to guests at the white house. There is no power on earth that can compel the president to observe any law. As all writs in the District of Columbia run in his name, it is obvious that he would not arrest himself for desregarding a law. That he had disregarded it would be notice to all peace officers that he had decided not to enforce it against himself.

Washington, October 21. —Mr. Bryan has been delivering addresses in the country south of Washington, and some of his strong friends in the faith have just come from his presence. They seem to have hea d tbmgs that were much more inters'ing than anx--1 thing he had to say in his public addresses. These Washington adherents of the Nebraskan intimate so sharply that intimation has the strength of direct statement that when December comes Mr. Bryan is certain to declare himself a candidate for the Democratic nomination, provided that then it seems to be clear that the Republicans are to renominate Roose-, i velt. If it appears that the president . cannot under any circumstances be forced into the field, Mr. Bryan will put cff the declaration of his intentions for another month or so. f THE VILLAGE KNOCKER, f : Under the spreading lemon tree The village knocker stands, The tree is never known to yield Aught but the sourest brands 1 And unto all that come that way The fruit thereof he hands. . : And though his knocks be loud and long; As sour as sour can be He helps to boost th" world along— A fact ’tis plain to see. Without him we would all go wrong. And be a fool like he. —Chicago Tribune. , o—.— All . the saloons and nearly all the business houses of Wapakoneta were closed Wednesday afternoon on account pf the meeting in series of evengeiistie services which closed there that evening. The services were conducted by Dr. John T. Elliott for all the churches.—Ex. Rev. Alexander, of Elmira. 111., a former pastor of the Presbyterian church officiated. Sunday and was greeted by a large crowd. His text “The Lord is my Shepherd” was fully' explained by this reverend gentleman and many beautiful thoughts were expressed from the same by him. Mr. Alexander came in response to a very urgent call and his presence in our city was the result of an excellent turnout. The old time weather prophet is again in Decatur with his annual prediction that this is going to be the coldest winter in twenty years. One of them who has interested himself in the matter says that he “never seen corn shucks thicker than they >are this year, leastwise not since ’73 when we had the coldest winter ever seen in these parts.’’ He says the wishbone Os chickens is unusually thick, which is ah Infallible sigh of a hard winter. Another says geese and ducks are Well; feathered,' which is another’sure sign of sera weather in large doses. Still another, points to the early return of : the wild ducks from the north. It develops-that on* of the boys 1 who procured liquor from a Warsaw saloon keeper Was a student lit Winona, and the tkhp told-the bartender i that hh Was twenty-brie years of age. Ax the trial he admitted that he lied and the probability is that he will have to pay rather dearly for that lie. It is bad enough for a young boy to- go into a saloon and drink, but it 1 is" infinitely worse for him to lie in order to procure liquor. This chap looked to be of age and the bartender was not really at fault,' bit he web stuck for a good big fine by the mayor of Warsaw just the same.—Columj bia City Post.

TOWN VISITED BY BIG BLAZE Loss is $20,000 —Mr. Peterson's Loss is $1,200 With Partial Insurance. Word has been received from Sherwood, Ohio, from Bob Peterson, who recen.ly moved to that city where he is representing the Vatxins- Medical company that their beautiful little city was visited by fire on last Friday and as a result he was burned out entirely. The fire started in a candy kitchen ana soon spread rapidly into the adjoining buildings which were frame and before the flames were gotten under control seten business places were wiped out of existence with losses ranging from two hundred and fifty dollars to five thcusand. The total loss being estimated at twenty thousand dollars. Mr. Peterson’s loss was on household goods, clothing and a stock of patent medicines which were valued at twelve hundred dollars and on which he carried but seven hundred insurance, thus making his actual loss five hundred dollars. Mr. Peterson had just become nicely settled in his new home and was working up a nite business when this misfortune overtook him. Bob will still continue to reside in Sherwood and will at once move Into new quarters and commence all over again.

A GOOD ONE ON SOL. A Clover Leaf Freight Was His Jonah the Other Day. Because a Clover Leaf freight train stood across the street more than the time allowed by law at Bluffton last evening Sol Carter missed the M. B. • and E. traction car standing on the ! opposite side waiting when he arrived at the blockaded street crossing. An hour and a half’s wait for i the next car was not calculated to put . the traveling representative of the Attica Bridge company in the best of humor, but he took the next car, which left Bluffton on time, and had i about forgotten the occurrence when he arrived in Marion. But there, standing right across Fourth street and blocading the passengers who wanted to get up town was the same freight train that had caused his long wait in Bluffton. After waiting for several minues, Mr. Carter, with other traveling men, walked back arcund the end of the train. The fact that the conductor of the crew was arrested and fined may have been a direct result of the stimulus given the depot policeman by Sol Carter, Who knows?—Marion Leader. Mrs. Wm. Sullivan and daughter Nellie left Wednesday for Decatur, after a short visit" here with: relatives and friends. The Sullivan family is at present located at Robison, Ills. Mrs Sullivan and her two children Nellie and Clyde came to Decatur Tuesday to attend the funeral of Grandpa Augsburger, who died at the infirmary. Clyde has concluded to remain in this part of the state again and is clerking in the restaurant of his nncle Charles at Decatur.—Berne News. Adam Brown, supposed to have been connected with Sells Bros, shows; also supposed to be to unsound mind and from Schenctady, New York, and who has been at the county jail for six weeks, is just as much of a prize puzzle and a white elephant as he was on the day he was brought there. Adam is contented as long as he can have his own way but he gets vicious when he is crossed in any* manner. When the county will do with him Ik a" matter that is at a stand still. —Columbia City Post. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE. This Sentiment Abroad at Fontanet Disaster, ’ Terre Haute, Ind,, Oct. 21. —Sunday, following the disaster which destroyed the town, of Fontanet, was . spent in quietude by the citizens. The day was spent consoling one another and the sentiment ae.em.s to be. fit might have been worse.’!; Men, women and chil-dren-with-bandaged, heada and arms wore -.tp: be seen here and., there withsad and drawn faces and, others were cheerful and optimistic a» possible upder the circumstances. About.: ten thousand curious visitors and sightseers : thronged the streets today. Proprietors of stores did a thriving business in the way of lunches and cigars. The soldiers were busy today keeping -souvenir • seekers oft of private grounds. Although close guard wgs, kept, "some of the barbarously inclined remembrance seekers were seen to have many gruesome objects in their possession, such as a dismembered finger or a toe. Religious services were held as usual today, and at the same time carpenters were working’ busily repairing houses. buildings have given away since the disas-; ter and fallen to the ground.

J. Kirby Risk, of Lafayette, district chairman and secretary of the Jackson club of his home city, has extended an invitation to Congressman John A. M. Adair to accept a place on the program at the club’s annua) banquet to be held at Lafayette on the evening of Monday, November 18th. This is one of the big annual Democratic events of the state. Hon. W. J. Bryan has likewise accepted an invitation to be present and address the assembled democracy.—Portland Sun. The Appellate court has handed down a decision of great interest and importance to attorneys in Indiana. In the case of Wm. P. Miedreich, an Evansville attorney, who is suing to recover his fee in a matter that his client compromised with an insurance company after she had instructed him to bring suit to enforce the payment of a policy, the court decided that Miedreich cannot be defrauded of his fee, and that he may proceed to collect it. Reports just compiled by the Indiana Bureau of Statistics indicate that the Hoosier hen has not been working overtime during the last year. These reports cover the year ending March 1, 1907. They were gathered by the township assessors. According to the reports 62,980,103 dozens of eggs were produced in Indiana during the year ending March 1 last. During the year ending March 1, 1906, the number of dozens of eggs produced was 63,096,754.

A RigiH ETxaminatTdft." Colonel Alexander Gardner, in his Volume entitled "Soldier and Traveler,” says that during a stay in Asia he was once suspected of being a Russian spy. This was an accusation of great consequence, as Russians were very unpopular at the time, but the traveler was prostrate with fever and almost Indifferent as to what might befall him. Application was made to the khan of Khiva, and in a great state of anxiety as to the traveler’s identity he deputed three learned men who had traveled over half the world to examine him. This was the abstruse and terrific examination with which they were satisfied: “What are you?” asked they. “An American,” was the answer. Still they were suspicious, and one man, a very enlightened scholar, offered as a crowning test this deep and conclusive geographical question; “Could you go by land from America to England?" “No,” was the prompt reply, and the questioner, as much delighted at his own superior learning as at the traveler’s integrity, declared that he was convinced. Thia was an American indeed. “Listeners Seldom Hear,” Etc. Two elderly maiden sisters had long lived together—one gentle and sweet the other acrid in temper and forbidding in appearance. The former was taken suddenly ill, and the other, anxious to know whether the doctqra thought her sister would live—as she was desirous of acquiring the money she knew her gentle sister had willed her—hid behind a screen in the tnonr ing room, where the doctors soon after came down to consult. “Well ’’ asked Dr. Harris, “what do you think of her?” “Think of her?" cried Dr. Brown. “Os all the antiquated, vlnaigretted old hags created I think she is the very worst! What is Providence thinking of to inflict pain on that gentle soul upstairs and leave untouched a gannt, withered caricature of humanity such as this oth<*7 Jump into my motor with me, and we'll chat about our patient aS we go."
