FRANCE, Mayor. — 0 PRAISE THEMSELVES The President and His Policies the Leading Issues Washington, June 8. —That the platform which will be adopted at the Chicago convention and on which the Republican party will stand during the next campaign has been completed with the exception of a few details, which will be left for the committee on resolutions to insert, is the opinion of many who are in the confidence of the Republican leaders. The work has been done by Wade Ellis, attorney general of Ohio and draftsman of the recent Ohio state platform; Senator Hopkins, who will be chairman of the committee on resolutions; Senator Long of Kansas and a few others including the president and Secretary Taft, who have been freely consulted. 1 The policies of President Roosevelt . will be indorsed unequivocally, and this indorsement will be the central idea of the document. The policies ’ will be set forth as the embodiment : of the principles of the Republican : party, the achievements of which will I be lauded as being at all times wise i and beneficent and ever in the inter- 1 est of all the people. These prin- t ciplos, it will be declared, are greatly t in contrast with, the policies of the i Democratic party, which, as embodied : in the public utterances of Its lead- j ers, It will be said, promise nothing < good that can be assured of accom- c plishment. The Republican party's t record as the party of protection and s sound money, as the party of progress t and good principles, as the party that c gave freedom to Cuba and lifted the c yoke from the necks of the people of the Philippines and from Porto Rico, will be upheld or admiration and a made the subject of much praise. e ..—o-- > I Manager Louis Hunt and right I fielder Gray go to Sharon, Pa., this | morning.

WAS A BOLD ACT < They Made Their Entrance ’ Through Transom of Rear Door Some time after eleven o’clock Saturday night and before 5; 30 Monday i morning the west, end meat market ' which is owned by the Decatur Pack- i Ing company was entered by thieves < who secured more than seventy dol- 1 lars for their trouble The party or j parties gained entrance by climbing 1 through a hole in the woodshed at j the near of the building and then fore- < ing their way through the transom. 1 It was some one who was familiar I with circumstances about the shop, i as the safe was opened without the 1 use of any forcible means whatever, as when the shop was opened this morning the door of the big safe was • noticed standing ajar without being ' damaged in the least. An examina- ' tion disclosed the fact that about sev- : enty dollars was taken while more than forty dollars in silver, beside a number of checks was not molested. To some it appears to be home talent work, while others assert themselves as believing it the maneuvers of a skilled safe opener. At any rate the job was smothly done the unwelcome guest made his exist from the building by unlocking the back door. o —.— REVIEW BOARD ITEMS Two Transfers of Real Estate—The Krick Partition Case Closed Marriage licenses were issued to Ora E. Elzey, aged twenty-six and Blanche E. Rice, aged twenty-one, both of Decatur. A license was also issued to Algia C. Miller, aged twenty-five, an oil driller from Crawford county, Illinois, and Dessie L. McGrath, aged twenty, of St. Marys township. Only one entry was made in the Adams circuit court docket Monday, it being in the case of Charles F. Rinehart vs. Charles F. Rinehart admi. et al. partition, in which aseparate answer was filed by C. C. Rinehart and defendant Rosetta Rinehart was ruled to answer. County Clerk James P. Haefling is at Portland today looking after the collection of fees. George L. Bobilya et al has deeded inlots 5 and 6 at Williams to Otis Riley et al for $325., Arminda E. Russell et al transfers to Daniel O. Roop, five acres in Washington township for $2,000. Mrs. Hannah Johnson, who was declared insane ten days ago, has been admitted to the East Haven asylum, word to that effect being received Saturday evening. o SOME NEW METHODIST LAWS. Probation Not Necessary —Time Limit is Removed. The new rules laid down by the general conference of the Methodist church in Baltimore, MJ., at its recent Session, became effective for the first 'time in the M. E. church yesterday. ■ The customary probation period of six months which has heretofore stood between prospective members and full ’church relationship, has been abolished, and in the future suitable persons will be admitted to church membership on confession of faith and subscription to the doctrinal principles of the church. The new regulations also abolished the time limit which here- 1 tofore existed on pastorates, so that i in the future a pastor may be returned J to the same charge as long as, in the 1 judgment of his conference, he can do t effective work there. The elimination < of the old office of presiding elder and c the substitution intis stead, is another s superintendent in is stead, is another x radical change made by the general 1 conference and one in which a go.>d t deal of interest is taken. t T Charging that his wife has slapped v and beaten him with her fists repeat- r edly during the past few months, Ed- s mond Larson, a prominent Syracuse, e Ind., man has filed suit for divorce. t The Northwestern Ohio Volunteer 1 Firemen will meet in Napoleon Wed- i nesday, June 17. There will be 70 t towns represented and 47 bands will a be present. Preparations have been x made to entertain 25,000 visitors. The r convention, from reports received from the various departments, promises to be the largest in the history 1 of the association. t

Bauer near Van Wert for 12 o'clock dinner and at the home of Wm. Railing for 6 o’clock dinner, A few hours were spent in Van Wen before returning last evening. All report a fine time. The party was composed of the Misses Celia Mayer. Zelma Steele, Susie Mayer, and Emma Schlickman of this city, Mr. Martin and" Miss Clara "Wayland, of Fon Wayne. Mrs. Margaret Meibers entertained at five o'clock dinner Sunday in honor of Mr. Fred Gerard, of Louisville, Ky. The evening was pleasantly spent in music and a good social time.

Schirmeyer, as secretary of the Citizens Telephone company, is writing the stockholders informing them that improvements and extensions to be made will require capital, and that the $5,000 worth of unsold stock will be placed upon the market. The present steakholders will be given preference, however, and for that reason the secretary will take your stock subscription on or before June 20, 1908. Should the issue not be taken by the datb mentioned, then the best buyer gets what is left. As the stock is good as old wheat, it is not likely that any of it will be permitted ot get outside the present list of stockholders. The extensions and improvements embrace an additional ten thousand feet of cable for use in this city and in addition several new farm lines both from here and from the Berne exchange will be built. The five thousand dollar issue will more than be consumed in making these improvements. —o WITH THE OFFICIALS Os the Traction Line—They Were Prospective Stockholders in the Road A party consisting of thirty eight New Knoxville, Ohio, people arrived in the city Monday on a special Fort Wayne and Springfield interurban car which left St. Ohio, this morning, going ovier the wesernt Ohio interurban to Lima and over the Ohio electric to Fort Wayne and then to Decatur. The New Knoxville people were prospective stockholders in the Fort Wayne and Springfield road and after arriving here were escorted to the People's restaurant where a sumptuous repast was served them after which they repaired to the directors room at the station to transact business. A very enthusiastic meting ns enjoyed and the Ohio visitors manifested much interest in the road. It was a meeting which will long be remembered by the officials of the Fort Wayne and Springfield road as all present were favorably impressed with the road and its proposed extension. —o Arthur Beery went to Grand Rapids, Mich., this morning on a business trip.
