B. 1 Wilcox Friday afternoon from the M. ; E church and Ms burial was at Maplewood cemetery, Decatur, Ind. A GODD SIZED JOB 3 ] Attorneys Sutton and Heller Complete Duties in a $200,000 Estate. 3 7 Christena R. Niblick, admhiistrp.- ’ trix of the estate of William H. NibI! lick, has filed the final report in pro- [ bate court. The same will be duly j examined, and after proper legal pror cess the big estate case regularly dis- * posed of. The report shows the total assets of the estate as inventoried to , be $195,365.63, and after the settles ment of all debts, claims, etc., there remains a balance of JU 4 ,097.75. Mrs. 1 Niblick was appointed administratrix ■ November 12th, 1906, and the prompt handling and settlement of the big estate was done in a prompt and busi iness like way by Attorneys J. C. Sut- ] ! ton and Henry B. Heller, who proved i I their ability in such matters. The, | estate was a tangle of accounts and j claims, and the settlement meant i many hours, days, weeks and months ■of almost constant labor. The estate I was the largest settled in the courts | here for many years and one of the largest ever settled here. Mr. C. R. Weatherhogg, who drew the plans and prepared the specifications for the new hotel Anthony, has returned from Chicago, where he was in consultation with Mr. Lewis Sulli- j van, the consulting architect, and the plans and specifications are now in the hands of the contractors who will submit bids on the structure. The bids ; will all be in by the 2nd of December, ! when the architect, together with the ! board of directors, will give out the contract. It is probable that within several weeks, preliminary work will > ’ begin on the building and if the weather permits, a great deal of the 1 work may be done this winter. It is stated that the structure will cost in 1 the neighborhood of $350,000 and will 1 be completed next fall. —Journal-Ga- j zette.

AT THE M. E. CHURCH Services Suspended at the Other Churches to Permit Members to Attend. With the spacious auditorium, lecture room and ganery of the M. E. church taxed to its capacity with people from every denomination o< the city, the second session of the township Sunday school convention ensued at 7 o’clock Sunday night, with the strongest program that has ever been rendered in our city for an affair of this nature. Almost every seat available was occupied and promptly at seven o'clock the service opened ■with a song by the congregation. Another song was then sung by the audience, after which Dr. Wilcox officiated in a prayer in which he paid due tribute to the Sunday schools of the township and asked for a continuance of blessings on their future movements. The Mennonite male

quartette then tavoreu tne vast crowd with a selection, which was greatly appreciated, after which Mrs. C. Vogt in a short talk, expressed her sincere appreciation of the large attendance. This was followed by a selection by the McKean quartette, after which Jesse Roop president of the Adams county Sunday school association, delivered a short address in which he expressed his appreciation of the large turnout, and in a few well chosen words told of the progress of Sunday school work. He also read the > report of the nominative committee j which read as follows: Mrs. C. Vogt, > president; A. Van Camp, vice presi'dent; Charles Brock, secretary; Miss Inez Everett, treasurer; Mrs. Jonas Tritch, pimary secretary. Following the reading of the report, Rev. E. E. Bergman pastor of the Baptist church , of this city, delivered an excellent address on “Young Life” which was well received by all. He took up the life of boys for discussion, and in a clear and forceful manner he told of how boys can be made much better by more careful training from all, under whose jurisdiction they are. He then toop up the boy from four different points of view; his relation to the mother, to the father, to the teacher and friend, and explained the essentiality of proper treatment and 'care ■ from each for the best results in the ■ lives of boys. Rev. Bergman illus- . trated many of his points by reciting speeches or by anecdotes that were fitting to the occasion, and his discourse was much appreciated by his 1 auditors. After the discourse Mrs. Dr. Wilcox rendered a beautiful solo which captivated the vast audience, after which a song by the congregation and the usual offering concluded the most interestinrg program, and Rev. Stangle pronounced the benediction. The Sunday schools of the country play a most important part in ■ the advancement of the Christian [ cause and we take pride in announcing the fact that Adams county contains as active and successful Sunday school workers as are found any place.

AN AUTOMOBILE TUG COMPANY Organized and Now at Work in Busy Paris. “The Automobile Tug and Towing Company!” It sounds like a joke, but lit isn’t. Powerful tugs, the puffy, crusty old gentlemen of the marine, have long jerked and pulled majestic ocean liners around at will, and now a company bearing the above title has been organized in Paris for the same service on land. It has been found that the big 80-hp. and 120-hp. cars are as difficult to handle in congested city traffic as a 680-ft. liner in New York harbor or on the Mersey. The mission of the new company is to hook on to these big land monsters with a small but powerfully constructed tug car and tow them out into the open country. Incidentally a secondary fleet of tugs will be kept in reserve to rush to the aid of disabled and stranded cars.

AN INFANT CHILD IS DEAD. Eight-Month-Old Son of David Springger Called to Heaven. David R., the eight-months'-old child of Mr. and Mrs. David A. Springer, who reside just northeast of this city, died Saturday night at eleven-thirty o’clock, after an illness dating practically back to its birth, death being due to a complication of diseases. The babe had just reached the age where it had become a household necessity and the parents are griefstricken over their loss. The funeral services were held Monday morning at the home, Rev. Wilcox officiating, and interment was made in the Ray cemetery.

BIDS NOVEMBER 30TH Treasury Will Also Issue . Certificates of Indebtedness Amount to $100,000,000. Washington, Nov. 17. —Secretary Cortelyou, with the approval of the president, has announced in an issue of Panama bonds to the extent of $50,000,000. The treasury will also issue interest-bearing certificates of indebtedness to run for one year, to the extent. if necessary, of one hundred mil- [ lion dollars. This action is the result of the series of night conferences at the white house ending with Saturday night. The treasury circular inviting proposals for Panama canal bonds reads [ as follows: ! "Treasury Department, office of the Secretary Washington, Nov. 18, 1907. “The secretary of the treasury offers to the public $50,000,1)00 of the bonds of the Panama canal, loan authorized by section 8 of the act approved June 28, 1902, and supplemented by section 1 of the act of December 21. 1905. "The bonds will bear interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum, will be dated August 1, 1906 and the interest will be paid Quarterly on the first days of November, February, May and . August. They will be issued in denom- . inations of S2O, sloo'and SI,OOO of cou- > pon bonds and of S2O, SIOO, SI,OOO and . $lO 000 of registered bonds. They will E be redemeable in United States gold 3 coin at the pleasure of rhe United 3 States, after ten years from the date of their issue and will be payable thir- . ty years from such date. They will be 3 exempt from all taxes or duties of 3 the United States as well as from tax- , ation in any form by or under state, municipal or local authority. They will ! be available to national banks as se- . curity for circulating notes upon the j same terms as the 2 per cent consols . of 1930, to-wit: r “The semi-annual tax upon circula.t- , ing notes based upon the said bonds as r security, will be one-fourth of 1 per r centum. They win be receivable, like j all other United States bonds, as set curity for public deposits in national 3 banks. The law forbids their sale at r less than par and provides that all citi- . zens of the United States shall have

s equal opportunity to subscribe there- » for. “In pursuance of the above anr nouncement, the secretary invites bids , for the bonds heretofore described, which must be submitted to this de- . partment on or before the 30th day of November, 1907. Each bid should state ( the amount of bonds desired by the subscriber, whether coupon or registered —the price he is willing to pay, and the place where he desires to make payment—whether at the treasury of the United States or at the office of some one of the United States treasuries, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston. Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, New Orleans or San Francisco. All bids should be addressed to the secretary of the treasury, department of loans and currency, and the envelop enclosing them should be plainly marked “Bids for Panama canal bonds.” “Upon receipt and classification of the bids hereby invited, the successful bidders will be advised of the acceptance of their bids and they will be instructed as to the date upon which payment is desired to be made at the treasury or some subtreasury of the United States. “In considering the bids, the bidders offering the highest prices will receive the first allotment. If two or more bidders offering the same price, those asking for the smaller amounts of bonds will receive their bonds in allotment. The department reserves 1 the right to permit bidders offering ! the highest prices to increase the! amount of their purchases. “For the sake of uniformity, the bonds will be dated August 1, 1906. which is the date of the outstanding Panama canal bonds, but interest on the bonds of this issue will begin November 1, 1907, and bidders will be ■, required to pay accrued interest on their bonds from that date to the

date of payment. “The department also reserves the right to reject any or all bids if deemed to be to the interest of the United States government. The bonds will be ready for delivery on receipt of the payment therefor. “Prospective bidders desiring information not contained in this circular may address the secretary of tjie treasury division of loans and currency, Washington, D. C., the assistant treasurers at Chicago, St. Louis. New Orleans or San Francisco. (Signed) GEO. B. CORTELYOU, Secretary.” — C. C. Ernst left last evening for Indianapolis, where he will attend the state meeting of the Oddfellows.

WANT LID RAISED, Adopt Resolutions Pledging Their Resistance to Certain Candidates. Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 18. —The United German societies of Fort Wayne have adopted by unanimous vote, resolutions pledging members not to support candidates for office who have not pledged themselves to resist the further enactment of what i they call “coercive laws” regarding I the observance of Sunday and the r«g-1 ulation of saloons. The German Alliance of Fort Wayne I is a union of most ot tne German, soci-' eties of the city. It is a member of the state federation of German societies of Indiana and rhe state federation belongs to the National German Alliance which recently held its nationali convention in New York. It claims | a membership of a million and a half ' citizens of German or of German de-1 scent in the forty states. The statement resents the accusa-1 tion that those’ who favor a free Sunday are anarchists and seriously contends that statutes are not law unless they are in accord l< with public sentiment and existing conditions.” It is set forth that Sunday laws came down i through the Puritans who caught their . spirit from Calvine and Knox, who - stood for the union of church and ■ state. These laws, the statement 1 says, are not in accord with the constii tution of the United States. “Sunday 1 legislation,” it continues, “is church 1 legislation, which may have its place 3 within the respective church organiza- - tions but not in state legislation.” 3 In conclusion, the statement says f that the United German societies will, - “before the primaries, investigate the , [position of the candidates in regard to. ]'Sunday laws. It will not support candidates who are for a rigorous enforce--3 ment of the Sunday laws, and in this it s is in harmony with the majority of the inhabitants of Fort Wayne. For this - purpose it will combine with organizas tions such as the Irish and Frankor Americans, also with such organiza- » tions consisting of American-born ciri- - zens which likewise do not believe in I the enforcement of medieval coercive

; laws. FINISH THIS WEEK By Special Request of Court —Two New Men Named to Fill Vacancies. Four members of the grand jury as selected and announced last week, reported for duty at the opening of court Monday morning. They were H. G. Edwards,William M. Tague, Edwin Ferry and Emanuel Hart. Two fail ed to appear, John Ketchum, of Jeffe'sofi township, who has been dead for thirteen years, and John Brown, of Wabash, who is in Nebraska on a business trip. Lewis F. Libenstine, of Monroe, and Ferdinand Yake, of French were selected to fill the vacancies and at 10:30 Judge Erwin gave his instructions, they being regular as provided on the statute books. He stated that while they were entitled to all the time necessary, he should deem it a favor if they could complete | their work this week as his term as Judge expires Saturday and he would like to close up the business. He appointed Emanuel Hart as foreman. I The riding baliffs are E. Franz, Berne • E. M. Atkinson. Geneva, and Tom Buckmaster, Decatur. Alex Peoples was appointed door baliff. 0 Rev. Bergman informs us that on ! several different mornings he has i found beer and whiskey bottles lying around in the yard at the Christian church.and that the parties who have been lotering there at nights should take warning as if their identity becomes known trouble may follow. A Word to the wise is sufficient, so the guilty parties should take heed lest they find themselves in the strong arm of the law.
