DATE ISk.. FIXED Big Event Set for January 16th Allowing Only Ten Days for Campaign. The democratic primary election tn Wells county is to be the shortest in history. At a meeting of the committee held Saturday it was decided to pull off the election on January 16th, I giving only ten days for the canvass. ! Resolutions to prevent the use of money and providing for watchers were adopted. Assessments were fixed and delegates to the state congressional judicial district conven tions were named. The candidates so far announced are: For representative, J. B. Merriman and Joseph Burns; commissioner first district, Sam Gehrett, second district, Perry Gilbert and Ed Walters; Sheriff Marion Garton, Bob Johnson, Freme Carlisle and George Brlckley; for treasurer, W. J. Dustman, M. M. Justus, P. M. Brown. Levi Lucabaugh, Daniel Miller and Fred Mcßride; for coroner, Herman Thoma. Any candi. date who uses money or unfair methods of securing votes shall have his name removed from the ticket and any voter accepting money shall be disqualified.

o THE REASON WHY Grand Jury Did Not Report this Morning as Previously Arranged. Judge Merryman called court at the usual hour Monday morning, but there was nothing doing. This quiet session was partly due to a pre-arranged plan by request of Deputy Clerk Haefling who is busy for a day or two at his office “checking in.” The rush which has been on for several weeks will soon be resumed in the court room, as there are several important cases set for trial. When the November grand jury adjourned on November 23rd last the six members were notified that their services would likely be desired again on December 30th as some very impartant matters were to be investigated. That date has arrived but the grand jury were notified not to report as the matter in question had not yet developed. Just what this affair is that needs probing cannot be given publicity at this time. The grand jury may be called at any time to investigate or the mystery may go until the April grand jury convenes. o CLOSE AT SIX O’CLOCK Excepting on Saturday Night—Rule Goes Into

Effect Wednesday. The season for early closing of business houses is again at hand and after Wednesday, January Ist, this rule will again go Into effect, as for several years past. In another column appears the official notice from the dry goods firms and we are informed that a similar agreement has been practically made by the clothing, shoe, furniture and hardware merchants. The other stores, including th e groceries and other business houses, will close at eight. This closing hour continues until April Ist, and former years have proven its success. This gives proprietors and clerks an opportunity for social enjoyment and the pleasures of home, always appreciated and each store does the usual amount of bus‘iness. Os course all the stores remain open on Saturday night until business is over. Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Eichenberger and children arrived home from Indianapolis this afternoon after visiting there for a few days with relatives. Miss Emma Spuhler, of Fort Wayne, who has been visiting with Mrs. Yahne and mother, returned to her home this morning. William Cline, of this city, and J. C. Myers, of Adams county, left this morning for Indianapolis, where they will spend two weeks with relatives and friends. Mrs. Cline accompanied them as far as Muncie where she will < spend the time with her son, Samuel Clin e and wife. —Bluffton News. Marshal Bohnke desired that we in this manner give the young boys of Decatur a warning against hopping on and off interurban, cars. This is a very dangerous practice and will result in some one getting badly hurt if kept up. Marshal Bohnke says he will arrest the next boy caught in this act and will make an example out of him. A word boys to the wise is sufficient

ARE STANDPATTERS The Tariff Program Will Soon Be Agreed to. Washington, Dec. 30. —The new ways and means committee of congress will decide soon after congress reconvenes whether the sacred tariff shall be touched upon at this session. Pressure designed to persuade the committee to choose a broad gauge course is being brought along at least four different lines. The users of white print paper and the allied printing trades want the duty removed from ground wood pulp and from print paper. Many influential persons scattered throughout the country have joined in a request that the duty be removed from art. The administration has renewed its request that the duty on products of the Philippines be reduced. The committee will be asked to sanction legislation creating a tariff commission of experts, whose duty it will be to gather data that will be helpful in revising the tariff when it is revised. If the committee of th© last congress was a “standpat" committee the new one is a "standpatter.” One may rest assured that the committee will not be in favor of any serious disturbance of the “tariff wall.” And yet it is difficult to see how the committee can refuse to consider favorably at least one or two of the requests that will be made of it. The petition for the removal of duty on wood pulp

and print papes, for Instance, Is not brought forward as a tariff measure. President Roosevelt in his message recommended that this duty be removed on the ground that by taking such action congress will be doing something toward protecting the forests of the United States. It is not asserted that any industry will be injured by the removal of this duty; it is pointed out that the benefits to be derived by its removal are many.

CLERK J. P. HAEFLING Succeeds David Gerber— Hervey Steele and John Lachot Begin Terms. David Gerber and James P. Haefling, the old and new country clerk are i busy this week, checking up, preparatory to a change of proprietorship on Wednesday. January Ist. Mr. Paul 1 Baumgartner, who served as deputy 1 clerk during the greater portion of Mr. Gerber’s term, Is assisting. The work will require two days and bright and early on New Year’s day Mr. Haefling will begin his duties. He has filed his bond and in all other ways complied with the law, Hervey Steele will assume his duties on January Ist, as county re corder. He has been in the office for a month acquainting himself with the duties and will conduct same for the present without the services of a deputy. Miss Mayme Cloud, who has been serving as deputy recorder will leave in a few days for a several months visit with relatives in the west. County Treasurer John Lachot begins his second term on Wednesday, and has qualified for another two years of official life. A RUNAWAY ON SECOND STREET Saturday Afternoon Caused Considerable Excitement. Considerable excitement was caused on Second street Saturday afternoon when the team of ponies belonging to Samuel Wyatt became frightened, running south with a small boy in the wagon. Mr. Wyatt had gone into a store to transact some business and left a small boy by the name of Hower in charge of his team. He had just gotten inside the store when the horses became frightened and started to run. John Bright in making an effort to stop th e team was nearly run over and as a result his coat was badly torn. The Hower boy held onto the lines, but could not control the horses ■ in the least. John Gillig who saw the occurrence, ran into the street and landed the runaway horses and prob ably averted an accident that might have been more serious than it looked. As it was but little damage was done ( and Mr. Wyatt and all concerned are , thankful for same.

Eugene Lindsley returned to his home at Geneva this afternoon from a business trip to our city. The Old Adams County Bank this morning received several of the new twenty dollar gold pieces recently minted by the government. The coin is a beauty and has been e.igraved in

IN LUMBfiR BUSINESS Kirsch, Sellemeyer & Son’s Will Be Firm Title After January Ist. The work of invoicing their vast stock is completed at the Kirsch and Sellemeyer lumber yard and January the first, nineteen hundred and eight, the firm under this name will be known no more and the word Sons will be added to it, designating that Jesse, son of A. H. Sellemeyer, and Otto, son of M. Kirsch, are partners in this institution. For several years past these young men have been preparing for this, an important movement in their life and both have taken a course in college beside visiting the lumber districts to obtain knowledge about the business they were about to enter. In 1902 Otto Kirsch graduated from the I. B. C. at Fort Wayne, and since that time he has taken charge of the books of this firm. He is an exemplary young man, possessed of excellent business qualifications and is held in the high esteem of all who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. He will no doubt prove a good acquisition to the popular firm. Jesse Sellemeyer has taken a course in the Oberlin college and also made a special trip to Huttig, Ark., where he learned many things about the lumber business that will be useful to him in the business he will launch into the first day of next year. He commands respect from all who know him by his upright principals and genial ways. The firm of Kirsch and Sellemeyer has been in existence for nearly nineteen years and have prospered beyond their fondest expectations. By their fair and courteous treatment they have merited a good patronage from the people of Adams county and elsewhere, as well. Lumber. tile and in fact building material of all kinds will b e handled by the new firm as in former years and no doubt they will enjoy a liberal patron age. Here’s success for 1908 and all the future years for Kirsch, Sellemeyer & Sons.

WITH THE GLAD HAND. Jay County Democrats Getting Ready for District Meeting. Arrangements are now being perfected for the Eighth district democratic convention to be held in this city next Thursday, January 2, 1908. to select a district chairman. Democratic workers from all over the district will be in th e city and every loyal democrat in Ja ycounty whether a delegate or not, owes it to himself and to his party to be on hand to greet the visiting brethren and to attend the first meeting of the 1908 camqaign and show the other counties of the district that Jay county is as loyal to W. J. Bryan for president in 1908 as she was in 1896. There are a number of good speakers in the district who will be present and several short talks will probably follow the work of the convention. Congressman Adair will also be home from Washington at this time, if his health permits, and will be at the convention. It is understood that a number of republican soup houses will be openede in this city the first of the new year and will be in full blast on that day. It will be a great curiosity to see soup houses during an ero of “unparalleled republican prosperity."—Portland Sun.

MADE UP ISSUES.

Shafer Peterson went to Fort Wayne Monday to make up the issues in the cases of the Erie Sone Co., of Huntington vs. Calvin Miller of this city and his bondsmen, in a suit brought for stone upon two macadam roads in this county. Judge Heaton sustained the plaintiff’s motion and consolidated the two cases, which he set down for trial in the Allen county court February the twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and eight. A. P. Beatty and C. J. Lutz represented the defendants, while Peterson and Moran are attorneys for the plaintiff. This case is attracting considerable attention and will be watched with interest by many people of this vicinity. It will be fought bitterly by both sides an<f promises to be very interesting. This case was set to be tried in this city, but upon a motion was venued to Fort Wayne, where it is thought it will be definitely settled upon the above stated date.

Charley Magley, of Monmouth, is improving nicely at present. Owing to the fact that Wednesday is News Years there will be no Chicago or Toledo markets quoted. This is a national holiday and the employees of these respective offices are permitted to have the day to themselves. Th regular quotations, however, will be made on Thursday.
