George Paillee, an Amlshman, one of the real, long-hatred kind, living i between Berne and Monroe, i s in all ' kinds ot trouble, with chances very 1 much in favor of his being ousted 1 from his church and doomed to spend ’ the remainder of his life with the ’ worldly folk. Several weeks ago ,it Is said he committed the unpardon- I able sin of having his barn insured. ! Shortly afterward he had a fir e and 1 the company’s adjuster came along, it 1 is said and dropped about 3154 into 1 George’s outstretched hand. Then 1 his church brothers heard something i that made them stand aghast—one of 1 their members had been insured. They i called and he admitted it. They de- i manded that he return the money and policy and after a few days he claimed to have went to Chicago and done so. hether he did or not has not been ascertained probably not—and each day some Amlshman from the church Is here as an investigating committee. Some of them charge George with transactions not permitted by law, and which if proven would have serious results, but these will be overlooked and he will be permitted to remain in the fold and his friends will even reimburse him themselves if he will but renounce the insurance company and return their contaminated gold. The outcome of the affair will be watched with interest. W. J. Craig, whose death occurred Wednesday, drew the highest pension under the law, $72 per month. Hp was absolutely helpless, being able to move his hands only and those a few inches. By putting a cigar on a long stick with a forked end he con’d move it to and from his mouth. His condition was due to an incarceration in Andersonville prison for fourteen months. Mr. Craig was placed In the hospital department and was on the outside of the prison as a trusty, but the suffering was so terrible that one day he walked back into the prison stockade and stayed with the boys until paroled out. During all his life Mr. Craig was one of the practical jokers of the town and he never lost his sense of humor. When he first came to Bluffton all the business portion had woden awnings that overspread the sidewalks. They grew old and dilapidated, dripped the rain but no one had the nerve to move them. One dark night Mr. Craig. Hugh Dougherty and the young men of the town tore them down, and in the next issue of the Banner Mr. Craig scored the perpetrators to a finish. No wooden awnings have appeared in the town since that date. —Bluffton Banner. Fire insurance men estimate that 40 per cent of barn fires are due to lightning, 10 to 15 per cent to carelessness, 8 to 12 per cent to overheated flues, th e balance to other causes, including incendiarism. According to the report of the weather bureau of the department of agriculture for 1900, the total number of strokes of lightning in 1899 which caused damage was 5,527, the number of buildings injured 6.256, value of property lost, $3,016,520, number of deaths by lightning, 563, number of persons injured, 820, number of live stock killed in the Held, 4,251. Tall chimneys emitting smoke that carries moisture, with it are more of ten struck than other objects, barns containing hay that gives of moisture by evaporation, and porous tree barks are frequently struck. For the same reason icehouses are more attractive to lightning than’ other storehouses.

A year's suffering from consumption in its worst stage culminated in the untimely demise of John Henry Wilkinson of Thirteenth street Friday morning, a few moments before nine and thus another of Decatur's well known citzens has passed into eternity. The deceased has lived an eventful life. He was born January--16, 1863, in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Barton yard. Radcliff Gate, England. Following in the footsteps of his father, in early life he attained a remarkable ability as a stone cutter, which vocation he has pursued during the course of his entire life. Mr. Wilkinson’s coming to America was brought about by the fact that a staunch friend of his father, residing at Buffalo, New York, who was also in the stone business, had written that opportunities were exceptionally good at that place. It was twenty years ago that Mr. Wilkinson left his native land for America, landing at New York from where he at once proceeded to Buffalo. After remaining there 1 a few years he went to Cleveland, where he became affiliated with the promoters of the Chicago and Erie railroad, who were at that time constructing the line westward. The deceased was engaged to take charge of bridge gang and under his superintendency many i railroad abridges were constructed. In coming westward he located temporarily at Decatur and formed the acquaintance of Miss Minerva Woods, to whom he was married sixteen years ago last Monday. As a stone cutter he had few peers in this section and his services were in great demand. He has lived continuously in Decatur since his mar-

It become rumored here today that a young man formerly of this city and ] now working as a telegraph operator ( for the Lake Erie at Decatur will be ■ married to a popular young lady of! ( that city. His name will not be men- \ tioned. —Bluffton Banner. Ralph Todd, cashier of the Studaba-1 £ ker Bank, had a few hours of great ' discomfort today that was not caused ~ by the heat. When he went to a wash i f basin at the ban kat noon to wash his i ] hands he noticed for the first time , that a diamond set worth $l7O was t missing from his Masonic ring. He had no idea where it had been lost ’ and had the plumbers c«me and dis- , mantle the basin and also searched ( the bank, [bls own home and the , streets, but the set was not discovered until about one o'clock. Then Harold ] Saurer. a clerk in the bank, picked ( it up from a table in the bank. Mr. Todd had been looking over some ■ papers at the table during the morning. Harold thought at first he had found only a chip off an Ink well. Ralph is one of the happiest fellows in town this afternoon for he had about given up the diamond as gone for good.—Bßluffton Banner. riage and two children, Warren, of fifteen years, and Walter, twelve, came to bless the union. About one year ago his lungs became affected, which is supposed to have been caused by dust from stone, and since that time his health has gradually declined, consumption developing , immediately. During the closing chapter of his life, the deceased has suffered much pain. However, he has been content to trust his case in the keeping of the Almighty It wag noted Friday morning that he had grown much weaker and the attendants expected the end at any moment. He retained consciousness until the last, although too weak to talk ami he passed away as if it were but a sleep. The bereaved wife and children knew months ago that death was inevitable, and while his death caused no surprise, it brings with it untold grief to the devoted family and many friends. Surviving, beside the family, are a brother, Joseph Wilkinson and sister Miss Harriett, both of whom reside in England. The funeral services were • held from the home Sunday afternoon at two o’clock and interment at Maplewood cemetery. Faiview, Lincoln, Neb.. August 7. —That William J. Bryan proposes, to a considerable extent, to conduct his own campaign for the presidency, was disclosed here when he announced that he would spend three days in Chicago, beginning August 22. The democratic headquarters will be in full • swing by that time and it Is Mr. Bry- • an’s intention to meet and confer with ■ Chairman Mack and other leaders of ’ his party and give them the benefit ■ of his counsel. Another speaking ‘ date has been arranged by Mr. Bryan. ■ H e will leave on the morning of Augt list 21 for Des Moines, where he will i discuss the tariff question. That night ■ he will proceed to Chicago. After his I three days’ stay in the latter city he " will go to Indianapolis to attend the ’ notification ceremonies of John W. t Kern, which will take place on the • 25th. On the return trip he will speak t on the 27th at Topeka, arriving in - Lincoln the next day. The reception I accorded Judge Alton B. Parker in • Lob Angeles last night, when he de- ’ livered an address strongly supporting i Bryan and Kern, was a source of - much pleasure to Mr. Bryan. It was ’ the expectation that Judge Parker, in response to an invitation from the ! Democratic nominee, would stop off in ■ Lincoln on his way east, but Judge Parker wrote that before the invitation wag received he had planned to go home by another route. He, however, pledged his services during the campaign, and will make numerous speeches. Mr. Bryan has summoned the treasurer of the national committee, Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, to Fairview for an important conference as to the finances for campaign work. The. contributions, while coming in reasonably fast, hardly approach in volume the amounts expected and there is under contemplation a plan whereby the needed funds may he quickly raised. Haskell is expected here this evening.

Indianapolis. August 7.—John W. Kern. Democratic nominee for vicepresident, received a telegram from W. J. Bryan, in which Bryan says he wil! discuss the trust question at the Kern notification in this city. August 25. It is likely that Bryan’s speech will be delivered in the evening, although this has not been decided definitely. Myron W. King, of this city, and State Chairman Stokes Jackson are making the arrangements for the Kern notification. Mr. Kern left last night for a speaking trip in the west. He will speak first at a Chautauqua gathering at Charles City, la., and then go to Indianola, where he lived In his boyhood. From there he will go to Lincoln, Neb., for the Bryan notification, on August 12. On August 19 he will speak at Milwaukee, and on August 26 he Mill make a speech at Fountain City, Ind.

Mongolia, June 8, 1908.—4 miles from land (straight down)—We got off at Honolulu yesterday and took a look at the principal city of the Sand wich islands. As we approached from the distance we could see first the protruding mountain peaks of the leper island on our left. This is a very small island and only used for the people who have contracted leprosy. Beyond here we could see the peaks of Oahu rising in the dim distance on our right. I had given orders to my cabin boy to call me at 4:30 and so it was yet a little dark. ’ From the distance the peaks liked barren aud dieaiy, but as we drew closer, we could commence to make out the form of vegetation upon them and when we finally got closer and could see the tropical vegetation a sight greeted our eyes well worth the seeing. The tall palms with their large beamlike trunks, the banana trees with their clumps of bananas growing as a stem, the crawling sand grass, the mango trees, the sugar plantations, the made harbor, the bun- > galoos open to sunshinp and rain alike, the thatched roofs, all combined to make one bit of really beautiful tropical scenery. At 9:00 a. m. having been inspected by the U. S. medical Inspector, we' were permitted to go on shore. We patronized the street car companies liberally the rest of the day. We found the brown mulatto conductors much more pleasing, intelligent and obliging than the street car conductors of San Francisco. The people of these islands are mostly Chinese, Japanese, Hawaians, Americans and mulattos. I saw three Turks In their native costume. The Hawaians dress in very lose clothing and bare foot, men and women alike. The women still wear the mother hubbards introduced by the early missionaries. The Chinese and Japanese dress as they do in China and Japan, and for the first time I saw ■ women carrying their children on their backs. We seemed to be very . amusing to a large share of the dark i mulattoes, but the feeling was mutual, i The chief industry of these islands i is sugar. The sugar men have scourI ed the world for the cheapest labor i to be found, and at last, have found ? it in the Japanese. Many of the suI gar plantations pay from 18 to 24 - per cent on the investment, but this i process has had its reaction. The f coming Japs have learned that Hawaii t is a great business center, and have ; taken to shop keeping, sugar raising, etc., and are slowly but surely driv- - ing their former American masters I out of business. t The islands are of course isolated j and it is pitiful to see how they grasp > every bit of news they can get. The > fourth of July celebration on board . the Mongolia was enough for inch > head lines in the leading daily pa- : per. Men hailed us and very anxiousi ly asked how things were going back i in the home land. There is much vegetation in the . islands but little timber and all of ; the buildings are built of timber from ' Oregon. The harbor of Honolulu is built up by dredging from the bottom of the harbor. One of the first American things we noticed were Standard Oil Co. tanks. One place we visited wag the aquarium, where we saw fish of all descriptions, kinds and colors. The American homes are bungalos | one-story houses, without windows or doors, but perfectly open. There is ’ a very large plot around each one and this is covered with all kinds of plants and trees. They are certainly very beautiful. W T e went out to Waikiki beach and took a bath in the surf. The Hawaians get boards and go away out and watch for a large wave. When this comes mp they givle the £ board a shove, j stand up on the board and ride the surf to shore. We tried that but the i. wave went right under us and we didn't ride far. The people here are very fine swim- ; mers. The boys around the wharf ■ swim out into the bay and beg for . i money. When ycii throw a coin out, < into the water three or four boys will dive after it and bring up the ’. coin. I have seen them swim forty.. feet after the coin lit and get the coin., | This is a fine place for a week or i two, but I believe that would be £ enough for me; there’s not enough i doing. You had better send these t letters on to the girls. Have, them i send them to Aunt Sarah and then t see that they are preserved. I will s have them do them the same. When < I get to writing I think of so much j that I leave out a lot of interesting < points, and by changing about you [ can get it all, and if you can arrange J; to preserve them, I will bind them i when I get home and have a diary ( 1 which I will combine with my pictures t copies of which I will sent later.

Workmen are busy’ at present laying new ties along the Erie railroad in this city to take the place of the old ones which are worn out. Sev- , eral foreigners are doing the task. Mrs. Jane Andrews, of Monroe, is . advertising a sale of the Andrews livery stock at Monroe to occur at the ; stables there at 2 o’clock p. m. next Friday afternoon. The stock will be sold in bulk. J. N. Burkhead is the . auctioneer. Editor Democrat:—Just a few words • please, in reply to Elders (?) Henderson and Banks. It is doubtful if there is a Mormon in Adams county or any one who cares to hear Mormonism preached. There are already ' as many sorts of religion and isms promulgated—off and on—in Decatur as there are varieties of breakfast foods, therefore it looks like forcing matters when an attempt is made to foist an additional religion upon the people. As to polygamy: Regarding what was said in my first article upon this subject these men say: “Such ideas as these have been abandoned by all who have investigated Mormonism.” (If wrong, why’ adopted; if right, why abandoned?) Those who think the practice abandoned may turn to the testimony of President Joseph L. Smith in the Reed Smoot case in Washington. | In 1890 President Woodruff suspended, not abrogated, polygamy, but in spite of such suspension a majority of the Mormon apostles are today practicing it. Joseph L. Smith, president of the Mormon church, was fined only two years ago for continuing in this relationship. And C. W. Penrose [editor of thetr ’church paper, hast been a polygamist for years. A woman who has married a fraction of a ,'man, say one-half to one-nineteenth is surely a slave, as well as a fool. ;Ann Eliza was the nineteenth wife of Brigham Young and she got away ■from polygamy and its degradation as soon as possible. It is a pity to “damage the halo’’ of these elders, but the above ought to be proof enough on this subject. In the last chapter of Revelations Jesus Christ is characterized: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and tho last.” And later in the same chapter adds: “If any man shall add to these things God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.” This is sufficient to stamp with falsehood the pretensions of all “revelations” since Christ from Mohamed down, including Swedenborg. Joe Smith, Dowie, Mrs. Eddy, et al, not one of them can truthfully lay claim to divinity. The foundation of the church is Jesus Christ the son of God. It needs no other. Let us discard all false teachers and teaching and get back to the simple gospel of Christ, as taught by his authorized apostles. M. L. HOLLOWAY.
