ONLY EIGHT ISSUED So Far this Month—Below the Average— Why It is Thus The leap year hoodoo has been found wanting as but eight marriage licenses have been issued to date In 1908 in Adams county. This is considerably below the average and indicates that the present year—with its unfortunate 366 days—will have several less weddings in this county than does the ordinary year with a day less in the calendar. It is the general theory that the tension is relieved when leap year comes. This is not true. Human naiture isn’t built that way. In reality, the tension grows worse. A bashful man can propose

if actually in love. He can’t help it, unless he lets reason surmount what is sometimes termed insanity. It is supposed that the woman in the case does the proposing—that she must do so or never get married. A sensible woman won’t do it, though. A man wouldn’t marry her if she did —unless money is the consideration. The gossip says, however, when a wedding is put off year after year and finally falls in leap year, that the woman did the proposing. As a result, many fear the gossip will be just as lacking in sensibleness as this, and therefore refuse to plight their troths when the year springs an extra day. o WAS WELL KNOWN Popular Young Man Whose Friends Were Many— Funeral Sunday

Clyde, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Nichols of Tenth street, who has been a constant sufferer for more than ten years from an affection of the lungs, succumbed to the ravages thereof Friday morning at 10:20 o’clock. When he was but twelve years old the deceased was taken ill from the formation of an abcess and since that time he has never fully recovered, but has gradually grown weaker from day to d'ay until finally relieved by death. The deceased was a boy beloved by all. He possesed many characteristics that made him a favorite among his associates. He was hopeful until the last, but was content to trust his life in ( the hands of the Almighty, whatever the outcome may be. While most poignant sorrow is caused among his many friends from the news of his demise it is also a relief to know that his suffering has come to an end. The funeral services were held from the M. E, church Sunday afternoon and interment was made at the Maplewood cemetery. The deceased was past twenty-two years of age and has lived here all his life. The out of own people who attended' the funeral were D. E. Hower, of Anderson, James Harkless, of Paulding, and Rev. D. S. Hower, of Mentone, Indiana. Beside these and a multitude of other relatives and friends, the boys’ par■n:s, brother Alva and sister Nellie survive to mourn his departure. TRACTION OFFICIALS TO MEET. The Indiana railroad commission is sending out circulars to traction officials of the state to meet with the commission on February 10 to confer regarding methods for safeguarding the lives of trolley car patrons and to agree upon a set of rules which all traction companies may follow. The circulars which have been sent out say: "It being the duty of the railroad commission to keep informed as to the condition of railroads and railways and the manner in which they are operated with reference to the security and accommodation of the public, and inquiry and investigation is hereby instituted as to the rules of operating and dispatching the cars and as to the qualifications of motors men and conductors on the traction lines of this state. The managers, superintendents and dispatchers of such railroads are therefore, requested and directed to appear before this commission at its public hearing room on Monday, February 10. 1908, for a ■ conference and information in these subjects, and for the purpose of formulating and adopting uniform operating rules and practices and for providing for the instruction of conductors and motormen in their rules, and to take such other steps for safe operation and the prevention of accidents as may be agreed on or ordered.”

The new engine installed at the Krick & Tyndall tile mill some time ago is a beauty and will certainly do the work. It is a large affair and will furnish sufficient power to run the machinery without any trouble.

NO WORD FROM WELLMAN. Th«r« Will Likely Be no Trip to the Nerth Pole Next Year. Dr. W. N. Fowler, of this city, who made two trips to the arctic regions with Walter Wellman's polar expeditions In search of the north pole by means of an airship, says that he has received no word from Wellman as to a trip to the artic circle the coming season and has seen nothing in the Chicago Record-Herald, and he is of the opinion that Mr. Wellman does not intend to make another attempt the coming season, although he probably will make at least one more try before abandoning the project for good. The chief reason for figuring that Mr. Wellman probably will not make another trip to the polar regions the coming season is the fact that not a word has been mentioned as to such a trip for the year 1908, whereas the two past seasons when it was decided to make trips plans were already under way at this time of year and the trips had been definitely decided upon. —Bluffton News.

FURNISHES HiS USUAL COPY. Frank Cotton Left Bluffton Again Under Suspicion. Frank Cotton, who has been written up so often that he comes around and pats the reporters on the back and promises them another story in a few days and requests that he be reserved a half column space, has come to the front again with another bunch of copy, just about on schedule time. Ten days ago Frank had his brother-in-law Hamar McKinney, furnished bond for him in the sum of S2OO, reI quired upon the request of Prosecuting Attorney Ash Emshweiler that he be held for examination by the next grand jury on the charge of issuing a fraudulent check. After getting McKinney to furnish the bond Frank disappeared and his exact whereabouts are not known, but it is reported that he went to Van Wert, Ohio, to accept a position with a transfer line.—Bluffton News. We know where he is, but we won’t tell.

TREASURER IS BUSY Making Up Road Tax and Preparing Spring Tax Receipts Attorney David E. Smith filed an action in court Friday entitled Anna Volmer vs. Henry Volmer, petition to sell real estate. The petition shows that plaintiff and defendant are husband and wife, married in 1866, that the husband has been an inmate of a sanitarium for many years. The building of the brick pavement on Seventh and Madison streets caused an assessment against Mrs. Volmer’s property of $750 and she is unable to pay it. Rather than have her home sold for lien, Mrs. Volmer prefers and therefore petitions for the right to sell same to her son Alphonse Vol-

mer, with whom she expects to make her home. County Treasurer Lachot and deput- ; ies are busy just now figuring the amount of road tax to be assessed against each farm. They are also filling out the tax receipts for the spring installment of taxes, which may be paid any time now. Clerk Haefling has his probate, civil and criminal dockets ready for the February term of court, which opens a week from Monday. The jury commissioners will meet next week, probably on Tuesday, to select the petit jury for the February term. Earl Reber, of Kirkland township, was arrested today on a grand jury indictment charging him with assault and battery on a young man named Heller. He gave bond in the sum of SIOO.

From the annual reports of the nine township trustees, the county auditor has compiled a formula showing the number of sheep killed by dogs in the year 1907, and the amount of money it has cost the county to reimburse the farmers whose flocks were the victims. Although the total amounts to the large sum of $1,500, the dog tact for the year was just double that sum. and after all the county is not the loser.—Bluffton Banner. o The new electric dynamo recently installed at the electric plant is more than doing its work, and shows that the Fort Wayne Electric works that furnished the same are handling nothing but first class goods. The dynamo was badly needed and just fills the bill. Superintendent Myloit is more than satisfied with the same and states he could ask for no better.

Wiley j for a few days. i ——————————— , IN ABOUT THIRTY DAYS, s ’ r The King Piano Factory Will Begin t Operations. f , The cross ribbing department of the j King piano factory was started this j morning with experienced laborers 3 who came with the plant from She- , boygan, Wis.

George A. Osborn, of Marion, at once became a candidate in his stead. The Krick Tyndall company at the present time is one of the busiest places in Decatur and are shipping out their tile as fast as they can manufacture the same. Twenty wagon loads were hauled out of the city today and as the supply is quite short some were turned away. This Not many of the people along Seventh street improvement have up to this time availed themselves of the opportunity of signing the assessment roll, but rather have they showed a tendency to delay the matter which looks like payment in cash. The ninth of February will be the last day in which to sign after which it means settle in cash.
