Figures compiled by the Indiana Bureau o f Statistics from reports filM by township assessors, show that Indiana is gaining ground but slowly &s a cattle-producing state. The reports show that there are now . 501,495 head of beef cattle in the state, as against 445,010 head in 1907. ten highest beef selling counties this year are as follows: Montgomery 14,222 head; Clinton 11,344 head; Hendricks, 8,371; Boone 7,846; Putnam 7,<64; Fulton 7,301; Wabash 7,054; Farke 6,958; Delaware 6,829 and Fountain 6,686.

An unconditional pardon was Saturday granted by Governor Hanly, on recommendation of Judge LaFOllette of this city, to Edison Barnhart of this county, who was paroled three years ago from the Jeffersonville reformatory where he was sent to serv e a sentenc e for assault and battery with intent to murder Noah Allen, during an attack at the Ridgeville old settlers' meet. At the time of his parole from the prison Barnhart was thought dying from tuberoulosis and it was this that caused his release at the time. He has since fully recovered and is leading an upright life and the governor thought it but right that the stain upon his character should be as far a s possible removed— Portland Review, One of the greatest surprises given Bluffton society circles in a long time was sprung Saturday evening with the announcement of the marriage of Mrs. Jennie Cummins and Mr. Ralph S. Morrow, two of the city’s best known young people. The wedding' ceremony was solemnized on the previous evening at 8:30 o'clock at the home of Mr. Morrow’s sister, Mrs. Harry Studabaker, on west Market street, this city, but the nuptial event was kept a most profound secret until after the departure on Saturday evening of the bride and groom, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Siudabaker, for Oden, Mich., where they will spend their honeymoon.—Bluffton News. i A deal was closed Monday whereby Louis Mailand came into possession of the Henry Myer tailor shop located above the Model cigar store. Mr. Myers has formed a partnership with Chris J yers, of Gene v a. in the tailoring business, and he is establishing a shop at Berne, which will be open to the public tomorrow. However, Chris will retain his business at Geneva and in connection thereto he will establish a dry cleaning apparatus. The new firm -of Myers and Myers starts on itsl business career with a bright futureAbefore it. Both members have been engaged in the tailoring business for many years and they know the business as only experts can. The two establishments will be operated all the time, and thus a large volume of business can be done. The senior member of the firm will not move to Berne at present. Mr. Mailand will move his goods into his new quarters and be ready for business at once. The directors of the Great Northern Indiana Fair asscclation, with the exception of J. D. Nidlinger, who is detained to his home on account of sickness, held an interesting business session at the C. L. Walters’ law office Tuesday in which much business pertaining to the coming fair was transacted. The bills for the construction of the new grandstand and the printing of the circulars were allowed and the board contracted with a representative of the Indiana Farmer for three weeks’ advertising in that famous periodical. Much of the business which came up this morning was deferred until next Saturday, when it is hoped that Mr. Nidlinger will be sufficiently well to attend the meeting. City electrician submitted a proposition for the illumination of the park and this matter will be acted upon later. At 1:30 this afternoon A. J. Smith conveyed the directors of the association to the fair grounds, where the various business men will instruct them how they want their booths constructed. The roof is nearly completed on the floral hall and the park in every way is presenting a beautiful appearance. A deal was consummated Monday whch conveys the sole ownership of the Sautbine studio to Martin Jaberg, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Jaberg. of Preble township. For some time negotiations for the transaction have been under way, Mr. Sautbine desiring to retire on account of ill health. However, since being in business, Mr. Sautbine has been most successful. His photograph work has highly pleased his many patrons, who. while regretting to hear of his intentions of retiring, will welcome ttlfi new pro prietor, who is an honesit and an energetic young man. Mr. Jaberg was born and raised in this county. For fiv e years he taught a country school, retiring from pedagogy to go to the school of photography at Effingham. 111., from which he is a graduate. The studio will be closed for about ten days, during which time the rooms will undergo a complete overhauling. All of the unfinished photos will be completed by Mr. Jfaberg. Decatur extends the hand of welcome to Mr. jaberg and wishes for Mr. Sautbine a speedy recovery from his illness.

As a result of falling forcibly to the walk while stepping off the porch of her tome, Mrs. Charles Dunn is con- 1 fined to her bed, suffering from two broken bones in her right limb, the t fracture resulting subsequent to a dislocation of her ankle. The injured woman had started to descend from th e porch, when, as a consequent of the slippery walks, her feet slipped 1 from beneath her and she was hurled to the walk with great force. The aid ’ of a physician was hastily engaged, and an examination disclosed the fact j that both bones were broken a few inches below the knee. Medical aid was administered, and the patient is 1 resting easy, although it will be several weeks befor e she will be able to ] resume her household, duties. Fortunately Mr. Dunn was in the city and , he hastened home to assist in caring for his injured wife. Nothing unforseen setting in Mrs Dunn will recover rapidly, which news will b e gladly welcomed by her innumerable friends in this city and vicinity. A wireless message came Schaffer Tuesday from his father, Fred Schaffer, and Harry Ward, who are now on the briny deep. The message read: “Twelve hundred miles out, all well and a delightful trip.’’ This pleasing news was highly relished, as it indicated that thus far the two travelers were stamped O. K. The steamship Ryndham is a slow boat, but it is a good one with all the accommodations and luxuries found on any of the fast lines. One can live in luxury on one of these boats and while the two Decatur travelers will not wade too deep into the fashions, yet they will live well and get their money’s worth. Other Decatur citizens abroad are reported as being well. J. M. Frisinger is in Belgium buying horses for his sales stables here, and is making progress and succeeding in buying the best horses ever imported to this country. He will return some time about the first of September. Fred Jaebker who is doing Germany, is having the time of his life, and letters received from him indicate fbat the several weeks there will be full of life. A letter reached this city last evening conveying the surprising news that J. M. Blossom, who was born and raised in this county, has become a benedict. Mr. Blossom who was more commonly known as “Mon” was born in Root township sixty-six years ago and when the call for volnteers was issued at the beginning of the civil war, he enlisted in Company C, 147 Indiana. During the siege of war he was found to be tried and true and his comrades wiho still reside in Decatur have nothing but praise for this most estimable man. He had the misfortune to lose his first wife by death and some years ago was divorced from his second wife, after which he took up his abode at the soldiers’ home at Marion. The news which announces this mjartriage from the pen of Mr. Blossom himself and in part reads as follows: “It is my treat; I am married, and It is all over and I am ‘well of it. Tell all the boys and have a good time until I come back to Decatur, tihen I will set it up all right.” These are consoling words to his many friends, but there are several old soldiers in Decatur who would very much desire to give him a good old fashioned belling. Here’s hoping that the bride and groom enjoy happiness and prosperity during their matrimonial career. The newly wedded couple will make their home at Elwood, Ind. Visions of an electric railroad between Bluffton, Berne, Chattanooga and Celina are taking root with the promoters of the line in away that surely will bring success. Peter Neuenschwander and Joseph Gerber were in this city Saturday afternoon late and they report that all the right of way between Berne and Chattanooga, O„ was taken last week and that lots of stock is being taken by farmers and business men along the line who want the road and who believe their plan a good one for building if. It is their purpose to at once make a survey of the route and will begin taking deeds for the right of way in the very rear future. By reason of having stock subscribed which is to be paid for in work, it will be possible to have a survey taken for the expense of an engineer, as rodmen and linemen could be secured among those who want to work cut their stock to do that part of the job. Th© plan for building this road is well known to Banner readers, it being the Intention of the promoters to get enough stock subscribed to include th e right of way and enough in labor to build the grade. As these two items figure largely in the first steps of constructing a road, it is thought capital can then be interested to lay the rails and equip the plant.—Bluffton Banner.

WHEN BILL GOT MAD. It. wag a sunny morning On a merry summer day When little Lou, th e high school boy Came out to mow the hay. 'With the birds a singing gaily Opal standing at the pump. Dear little Lou forgot his work And run on to a stump. Then all at once the horses stopped Lou ruined his best lung. But still those critters wouldn’t go For they’d broke the mower tongue. I But when at last he knew the truth Dear Louie’s heart stood still; For in the happy smiling sun Old BiUy walked upon the hill. Then Lou saw there’d be a time For he knew old Billy well And what this angry father would do Poor Louie could not ten. Up came Bill, poor Lou stood still While his father gazed on him, And Oh, the way that man did act! The very sun grew dim! He swore, he tore, he charged, he roared, He swung his hat on high But nothing did poor Louie do BBut stand and sigh, and sigh. As time passed by he grew more worse Till the people across the way Thought they had never heard such a fuss For many and many a day. The storm passed by as all storms do For his fathers wrath was spent; And Loui e rejoicing on his luck For another tongue was sent. Rinda Johnson, — -o—The records at the clerk’s office di> e’ese the fact that not since July ?1, ten davs ago has that official issued a n.airlrge license. The panic is serious. Sheriff Meyer goes to Plainfield today, taking with him Harold Crawford. The necessary papers were made out admitting him to th e Indiana School for Boys, and where he will have to remain until he is twenty-one years old. His age is now sixteen. For some time be has been under the care of Henry Lankenau, as juvenile officer. At the recorder’s office thre e warranty deds were made Tuesday. Pearl Beerbower gives to Theodore Beerbower one-fourth interest in eighty acres, consideration $1,400. Jacob B. Buhler deeds to John E. Smith part of lots 155 and 156, consideration $3,000. John E. Smith deeds to Jacob B. Buhler part of lots 155% and 153 for $3,000. The word was received that the bonds for the construction of the J. F. Lachot macadam road were good. This settles all doubt about the road being constructed. Th e Erie Stone company have the contract. An important transaction in business circles developed Monday, when the well known produce firm of H. Berling and Sons of this city and the produce firm of Steveson Tudor of Kokomo, Ind., closed a deal wherby they formed a joint partnership for th e operating of a branch house at Ohio City for their respective firms. The transaction has been hanging fire for some time past, but the necessary plans wer e not brought to a close until yesterday. The local firm of Berling and Sons is known over a great amount of territory in this and surrounding towns, they having their main plant located in this city,while they also own and operate a branch house at Berne, together with the plant which they have bought at Ohio City. This firm has been located in this city for the past forty years, during which time they have conducted a large and capable business. As has been stated, a short time since, they are now beginning the erection of a two story building which, when completed, will be modern in every respect, enabling them to handle their poultry in much less time than heretofore. They are building this addition on account of their increased amount of business. The outside member of the new firm, Mr. Steveson Tudor, of Kokomo, enjoys the distinction of being one of tbe largest shippers of poultry, butter and eggs in the United States and has besides the plant at Kokomo, about eight branch houses located in different sections of ■ the country. In getting this plant Ohio City is receiving a capable and industrious business firm, which will , be a great credit to their already en- ■ terprising town. Permanent quarters hav e been established until the erection of a large and commodious build- , ing which will begin in the near fu- ; ture. The Democrat joins with their many friends in wishing them success in their new enterprise. The plant , will be managed by Mr, Will Berling, a member of the local firm here for several years, and as he has had much experience in his line, it is needless to , say that the new firm will be well managed.

ECZEMA IS NOW CURABLE. A St. Louis chemist, after many years of careful experimenting and investigation, has discoverede a simple remedy that has cured hundreds of cases of eczema that had been pronounced incurable. This chemist believed that eczema and all itching skin diseases were of local origin and were caused by germs which attacked and fed on the skin. He began to search for a remedy that would destroy these germs, and found that by combining the active principles of certain well known vegeteable drugs, and applying them locally, the first application stopped th e itching and burning, and if used persistently would drive all germs and their poisons t othe surface of the skin and destroy them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy skin. He gave this remarkable remedy the suggestive name of Zemo, and since its introduction to the public Zemo has proven a very popular remedy aud is today recognized the most successful and meritorius remedy ever produced for the rel- f and cure of eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp. Mr. Falk, the druggist, recommends and endorses Zemo and says he believes Zemo to be an honest medicine and will do all that is claimed for it. o — A Certain Cure for Aching Feet.
