THEY HAVE BEEN HOT The Politicians are Awaiting Results With Much Interest. Washington, Nov. 3. —The eyes of the politicians are now turned to the twelve states where electlc.s will be held tomorrow. This fall’s campaigns have been characterized by an unusual degree of snap and ginger, considering the fact that this is an “off year” politically, and the results of Tuesday’s elections will be awaited with a great deal of interest. These states will ele.ct governors: Maryland, Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Jersey, Mississippi and Rhode Island. In New York judges of the higher courts and members of the lower house of the legislature will be elected. Pennsylvania will elect a state treasurer; Nebraska a railroad commissioner and two regents of the state university. In Ohio, Utah and California municipal officials are to be chosen. In all of the states except Mississippi and Maryland the Prohibitionists and Socialists have tickets in the field. They also have municipal tickets in Cleveland and Cincinnati. Os the gubernatorial situations, one of the most interesting and important is that which exists in Maryland. It has b°cn many a long day since that little state was so thoroughly wrought up over an election. Two United States senatorships, as well as the governorship, are at stake, as the next legislature will fill the unexpired term of the late Aruthur P. Gorman and will elect a successor to Senator Rayner. The Supreme court has decided that an interurban railroad is a railroad under the law. The decision is in the case of an appeal taken to the court of Kosciusko county by a number of taxpayers against paying a tax levied to pay $25,000 subsidy to the Winona interurban railway in Wayne township, that county. The lower court decided in favor of the railway and the taxpayers appealed to the higher court on the grounds that there is no valid law of the state authorizing a tax levy for interurbans.

SATURDAY EVENING Twenty-Five Fort Wayne Wholesalers and Fourteen Decatur Retailers Talk. Twenty-five Fort Wayne merchants, Including retailers and wholesalers, responded to invitations sent out some time ago by President W. H. Fledderjohann of the Fort Wayne and Springfield railway to meet Saturday evening with the merchants of this city and if possible work up a closer relationship between these two cities. The Fort Wayne party arrived in Decatur at five o’clock on a special car, provided for them by the local line, and were at once taken to the Murray Hotel, where they were received by fourteen Decatur merchants, who represented various lines. At six o'clock the guests were ushered into the spacious dining room, where an elaborate banquet awaited them, and every one present did more than Justice to this part of the program After the last course President Fledderjohann, acting as toastmaster, in a few well directed remarks, addressed the assemblage expressing his thanks for the liberal turnout of the business men of both cities and introduced Auditor G. A. Kelley, who delivered the address of welcome and stated the purpose of the meeting, and the object of the company in calling the representatives of the two cities together. Different members of the Fort Wayne party were called upon for speeches and responded in excellent style, after which the Decatur merchants were given an oportunity of telling their side of the story. During the speeches the statement was made that fully sixty per cent of the goods purchased by Decatur merchants was bought in Toledo and a better understanding was sought by both the jobbers and the merchants as to why this was the fact. The Fort Wayne representatives endeavored to show and did show that they could sell and were selling as cheap as any concerns in the country and were at a loss to understand why Decatur merchants leaned toward Toledo unless it was prejudice. The local merchants stood their ground Well, and explained their situation fully, and it is evident that much good will come out of the meeting as nothing but good feeling prevailed, and it is now up to the Fort Wayne salesmen to take advantage of the opportunity. The only interest the local railway line has in the matter is that of handling the freight which in the end would prove a big factor and would not only mean much to the line, but also to the merchants, as it means prompt delivery. Auditor Kelley, during the meeting, propounded some figures as to the relative ■working of the line and stated that in the past six weeks the line has increased its earnings in the way of handling freight to the extent of one hundred per cent and hoped that they might double this in the next six weeks. Before adjourning the Fort Wayne merchants extended a vote of thanks to President Fledderjohann and ‘ Mr. Kelley for making the meeting possible and suggested that the merchants should arrange a series of visits of this character, which has a tendency toward making the merchants of both cities come closer together in a business way and brings out closer relationship that should exist. The meeting was one of the best of its kind ever held in Decatur, and both cities were benefitted greatly by the event. The Fort Wayne party returned to their homes on the regular car.

BRYAN DAY AT LAFAYETTE. Indiana Democrats to Banquet on November 18th. Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 4. —With William Jennings Bryan present to deliver an address and one of the largest and most representative assemblages of democrats ever known in Indiana the annual banquet of the Jackson club in this city November 18 promises to be a notable event in the history of state democracy. Preparations for the gathering of democrats are rapidly nearing completion and Chairman James K. Risk, of the arrangement committee, expects a crowd of 10,000 here on the big day. Letters and telegrams requesting seats have been coming in by the score for weeks and not only have the 658 banquet table tickets been taken long since, but fully 1,200 reserved seat tickets as well. The seating capacity of the Coliseum, however, insures all of getting within a hearing distance of Mr. Bryan and the other speakers. o The funeral of Miss Grace Harb who died in Missouri, a few days ago, was held Sunday morning at the U. B. church. A large crowd being present to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The floral offering was beautiful and profuse. Interment was made in the Decatur cemetery.

AT PRESBYTERIAN Rev. Oborn Delivered an Appeal to the Men at M. E. Church Sunday Afternoon. Dr. Charles Preston Foreman, D.D., who has been engaged to supply the pulpit at the Presbyterian church until the first of next year, has arranged a schedule of the sermons he expects to preach here each Sunday, and each of them promises to be most interesting. Yesterday morning Dr. Foreman selected as his theme, “The Church, Its Commission, ’ and in an interesting and instructive manner he delivered an able address that adhered closely to his subject and many logical thoughts were pictured. The morning sermons, as planned will pertain to the church and in the evening the services will be of an evangelistic nature throughout this and next month. The following schedule presents very intersting themes and without doubt many will hear the services on them: Nov. 10, a. m., "The Church, Its Doctrines;I'’ 1 '’ p. m., “Christ, the True Foundation.’’ Nov. 17, a. m., “The Church, Its Ordinances;” p. m., "Christ, His Divine Declaration.” Nov. 24, a. m., “The Church, Its Obligations;” p. m., "Christ, His Revelation of Sin.” Dec. 1, a. m., “The Church, Its Great Law;” p. m., “Christ, The Language of His Cross.” Dec. 8, a. m., The pulpit to b 6 supplied. Dec. 15, a. m., “The Church, Its Product;” p. m. “Christ, The Three Crosses.” Dec. 22, a. m., “The Church, Its Christmas Gift;” p. m., “Christ, the Personal Touch.” Dec. 29, a. m., “The Church, Its Perspective;” p. m., “Wonders of the Spiritual World.” Rev. Oborn, the evangelist, in charge of the revival services at the M. E. church, has again demonstrated his ability along the line of work he pursues, by specializing another address with “The Best Job,” furnishing the theme upon which he talked for more than an hour. The spacious auditorium of the Methodist church was well filled with men, for whom the sermon was especially purported and the address that they heard was ample pay for the efforts they had made to be present. Rev. Oborn talked plainly on every phase of the subject he had outlined, and directed his speech to the shortcomings and sins which are characteristic to men. The theme. “The Best Job,” as construed by the evangelist, is to live a Christian life. “It pays physically, socially and financially,” said the speaker. Then he proceeded to support his theme by presenting plausible reasons why it is the best in each of the above mentioned cases. He said it is best physically for the reason that if a man is a true, devoted Christian he will abstain from the use of tobacco, liquor or anything that is injurious to his constitution, further he will not be out late at night gambling or with disreputable women and contract vile diseases. He went into detail upon this phase as well as the financial and social welfare of true Christians as compared with that of non-Christians and every person in the church was deeply interested and greatly benefitted by the discourse.

MARRIED AT CLERK’S OFFICE. Purl Davies and Hattie DeArmond Wedded. Purl E. Davies, aged twenty, and Miss Hattie Roxie DeArmond, eighteen, both of Blue Creek township, were granted a marriage license Monday morning at 11 o’clock, they joined hands at the county clerk’s office, while Squire James H. Stone united them in the vows that bind them so long as both shall live. They appeared happy as they accepted the congratulations of the witnesses and their faces were wreathed in smiles as they left the court house. A license w r as issued Monday afternoon to Rufus Sprunger, twenty-four, a Berne carpenter, and Cora Luginbill, aged twenty-three, of Monroe township. o Some time during the early part of this month a meeting of the officers and managers of the Indiana-Ohio league base ball association will meet in executive session to perfect arrangements for the season of 1908. The exact date has not yet been fully arranged, but will be called by President Kling for either Portland or Bluffton in the next few days. Officers for the ensuing year will be selected and the advisability of admitting two more teams into the league will be considered.

WAS REARED HERE Son of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Rice of this City—A Model Young Man. Edward Rice, son of M. F. Rice of this city, who has been engaged as manager of the P. W. Smith saw mill at Berne for the past eight years, succumbed to the effects of a cancerous affection Sunday morning at 1:55 o’clock, after enduring the dread disease for nearly a year. Mr. Rice was reared in this city from boyhood and he was held in the highest esteem of all who knew him. He was always courteous and honest in all his dealings and his upright principles have made for him a multitude of staunch friends, who will be caused the most poignant sorrow from the news of his demise. Some eight years ago the deceased was called to Berne to take charge of the saw mill at that place, owned by P. W. Smith, and he has faithfully and efficiently discharged all of his duties characteristic to this position. He was thoroughly acquainted with the lumber business and during the time he has had control of the Berne saw mill, he has handled the business as only an energetic and faithful worker could. About one year ago his throat began causing him trouble. He did not regard it as serious, and continued his work as u» ual until it became so noticeable that he was alarmed. A specialist was consulted and Dr. Bulson of that place performed an operation that did not afford relief from the total affection. Still in hopes of finding some one who could effect a cure, the young man went to Chicago and consulted several of the best specialists of that city, but without avail, as none of them gave him any encouragement, and he returned to await the death angel that was sure to come. Not until about two months ago did the deceased realize that death was inevitable, and since that time he has been content to leave his case with the Lord. As days went by he became weaker and weaker and weeks ago physicians stated that he could live but a few hours, but his constitution was remarkably strong and he survived longer than any one anticipated. The young wife and babe, twenty months’ old, are joined by innumerable friends in their hour of bereavement. The funeral was held from the Evangelical church at Berne Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. Hartman officiated, assisted by Rev. E. E. Bergman, of this city, after which the remains will be brought to this city and interment made in the Maplewood cemetery. The deceased was 28 years and seven months of age.

David H. Randall yesterday closed a deal for the purchase of the saloon of Fred H. Bicknese, on Barr street, near police headquarters. After his arrest on a charge of poisoning Frances Steele, Randall sold his saloon on west Main street to Polly Bunch, who formerly conducted a saloon in the rolling mills district. The recent grand jury failed to return an indictment against Randall in the poisoning case.—Ft. Wayne JournalGazette. Reports from various sections of the country give promise of an open winter. They say that the squirrels are not laying in their usual store of nuts, and that the bees have made less honey than in other years, sure harbingers of a warm winter. On account of the scarcity of fruits and vegetables the housewife did not put up as much canned stuff this season as usual —another good (?) sign and then the natural gas pressure is lighter as the weather gets chillier.
