Bee(Contlnued on page 4.) — o Deputy Sheriff Ed Green went to Monroe and Wabash township Tuesday where he will serve the necessary papers upon Rev. Joseph A. Swartz, and eleven other elders and members of the Amish church, notifying them in a legal way that George Paille, a former brother, has filed suit asking for $5,000 for the alienating of his wife and children and for humiliation caused by the report, that he had set fire to his barn, to secure the insurance. A young man named Swartz, son of one of the defendants, was here today and was interviewed concerning the suit, which is creating quite an interest. He said that they had not taken Faille’s wife and children from him and had done him no wrong, but that they would not appear in court and if the people wouldn’t believe them without making them testify in court, they would just simply pay the $5,000 demand and be done with it. considering It but another of the many persecutions heaped upon every good Christian. However they may conclude to do different before the cause comes up for trial and this is net given as an authentic story of their action, as the young man may not have counseled the leaders of the church.

Dr. J. W. Vizzard, of Pleesant Mills, last Saturday for Indianapolis, to attend Governor Hanly’s special session of the legislature, the doctor being the representative from this district. Dr. Vizzard was known as one of the conservative and conscientious members of the house during the past two sessions, and his opinions and assistance were sought after, not only in the halls of legislation, but likewise in the committee rooms. While in Decatur last evening he submitted to that painful ordeal to which every legislator becomes hardened in due time —an interview. He said: “I expect to stand pat. I believe the special call is a political scheme which the taxpayers of Indiana must pay for to please the whims of Governor Hanly. I believe, and have the opinion from one of the supreme judges of Indiana, that a county local option law in Indiana, is unconstitutional, and I shall stay with the democratic pfiatfoffmji On the Vincennes bill, I believe as I did when I voted, that the claim is just and should be paid and shall oppose any effort to repeal the bill which provided for that measure. I am also opposed to the appropriation of a large sum of money to furnish special or private police to I fight the night riders or any one else, believing in the ability and power of our police forces and militia. If Governor Hanly is so sincere in his fight for temperance, it seems rather inconsistent that he is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect the tobacco crop. I don’t believe the special session will last long or accomplish a great amount i n the law making line. 0 Fred Neaderhouser has closed a deal by which he secured from L. E. Van Buskirk, a widower of near Lima, Ind., a fine farm near that city. Mr. Van Buskirk takes in part payment the meat market business of the Central grocerj’ at Linn Grove and Mr. Neaderhouser's interest in the old , Missionary church building. Mr. Van Buskirk and two daughters will move to Berne.—Bluffton News.

There is more or less Interest being manifested by about 150 ladies in Decatur as to just who and what the Muncie Garment company is. About ten days ago a Mr. Mull, claiming to represent this concern, came here and said that they were wholesale manufacturers of aprons and a patent insole, with main factory at Muncie, that they had for some time been in addition to operating this factory, been organizing classes in various towns in Indiana, whereby ladies could do the sewing at home, receiving if their work is satisfactory. two dollars per hundred for the insoles and five dolldts per hundred for the aprons. He appointed Mrs. Cris Vogt as local agent to take in the goods and give out material, do the paying, etc. There was a rush of business after he advertised and from 100 to 150 ladies applied for work. Each was required to pay a fifty cent fee and sign an application. Then they were given the material for one pair of insoles or one apron as they preferred. When they sent in these samples, nearly all were rejected, and the fifty cent fee was retained, whether justly or not we cannot say. Now Mrs. Vogt, who was in no way to blame and who has done everything in her power to protect the Decatur ladies, has resigned and the president °f the company has written that he will be here Monday to straighten out affairs, claiming that the mix-up was caused by Mull, w-hom he has discharged. If the deal is a square one, it would have proven a splendid thing for the ladies of Decatur who could make a few dollars each week at home. The company does not seem to be a very big affair, and are not very well known at Muncie. They claim to be successors to the B. B. Novelty company, who have no rating m Dunn, but who it is said have always met their obliig)ations. They have no factory at Muncie as they represented, and so there you are. They may be all right, but about 99 per cent of the ladles who joined the club here are beginning to think they are not, and it will require some straight evidence to convince them otherwise. 0 The case of A. G. Kelley and T. W. Shelton against the Fort Wayne & Springfield Ry. company, filed in the Allen circuit court about ten days ago was dismissed Monday, when the plaintiffs withdrew their petition for a receiver. It will be remembered that at that time the plaintiffs said they had instituted the suit, in ordei that they might have their stock and bonds amounting to $10,700 redeemed and that if this was done the case would be dismissed. The stock and $2,000 were placed in the Fort Wayne Trust company's bank and yesterday the $8,700 necessary was forthcoming and the suit ended. Mr. Shelton will accept a splendid position with the McKinley syndicate and will leave scon to assume same, his territory being in Illinois. Mr. Kelley has not decided what he will do, but expects to remain here for a few weeks at least, until he has arranged his future plans.

Senator Hawkins will not make any public addresses to the voters of the Eighth district in this campaign. This conclusion was reached at “headquarters” late Sunday night, after a closet session of his advisers, lasting several hours. It will be remembered that several days ago, the Sun announced a whirlwind tour of speech-making to be made by the senator, commencing about the 15th of September. This sudden change in his plans comes as a complete surprise to the public, who have been anxiously awaiting the senator’s maiden effort. Wherever Mr. Adair has gone, he has told his audiences that Taft, Bryan, Watson and Marshall have each taken the stump and told the people where they stood, and that he (Adair) had now done so and it was but fair to the voters, as well as to Mr. Adair that Mr. Hawkins should do as much. The pressure from several localities in the district has been pretty strong in this direction, and the senator was disposed to comply, but after several day’s effort i n preparing himself for the stump, the managers were called into conference, and the scheme abandoned. It is said that the strongest objection to his taking the stump, came from a member of the committee who recently attended a banquet at Muncie, -where the senator undertook to read a three minute toast from manuscript. This man described , the effort as that of “a boy in the sec- | ond reader, trying to read out of the fifth.” —Portland Sun. 0 — Mrs. E. R. Richards returned to her I home at Land. Ind., after a pleasant visit here with Mrs. W. Hoagland. A wagon loaded with barrels for the Berling Packing house from Fort Wayne, upset at the corner of Monroe and Second streets last evening. The driver, Frank Hoopengardner, escaped from injury by jumping. The wagon was loaded with 150 barrels.

Indianapolis, Sept. 15.—Interest in regard to the proposed enactment at the coming special session of the General Assembly of a county local option law is centered just now on a small group of Republican representatives, who are holding out against the legislative program of their party and on a still smaller group of Democratic representatives, who, likewise are loath to raae orders from leaders and party managers. To enact the law, the Republicans will have to control the five or six recalcitrant members of their party or enlist the aid of almost as many Democrats. To prevent the enactment, the Democrats will have to hold their own legislators in line, together with a few Republicans. Just now it appears as if both parties might fail in their endeavors to present solid fronts. Each side may gain from the other. | The extent of the shifting may deter- j mine the fate of the bill. In the Re-, publican group of “recalcitrants” are ' Otto G. Geiss and Charles C. Schree- ' der, of Evansville; Charles O. Balt- [ zell, of Princeton; James H. Billingsley and John W. Bowlus, of Indianapolis; Gus Condo, of Marion; Gus Greiger, of Hanna, and Henry M. Caylor, of Noblesville. The analysis yesterday showed that Geiss would vote against the measure, and that Billingsley, who has moved out of the state, will not be here to vote. The loss of two votes would leave fiftyone votes for the measure, the number required, if all the rest were sure. I Schreeder and Baltzell, it was de- ; dared, had been lined up for the bill. They had promised, it was said, to vote “aye” at the special session, but had specifically stated that they would not vote for the measure at the regular session if it should come up then. Greiger is said to have given his word that he would vote right, and Condo, it is stated, has practically lined up. Bowlus seems to be refusing to define his position. Caylor is not giving the managers much concern, inasmuch as they think he will be bound by caucus with the rest. He is known as a temperance man, but his opposition seems to be grounded on the theory that no emergency to justify action at this time exists. The Democratic recalcirants include Burton Green, of Perrysburg; Walter E. Hottell, of Bloomington; Temple G. Pierson, of Spencer; Henry Six, of Lebanon and George I. White, of Franklin. These men are strongly Inclined toward support of the county option bill. The list was much larger at first, but was reduced by cressing off the names of Robert C. Brown, of Salem; Harry S. Downey, of Shelbyville; Beecher Frump, of Bowling Green; David B. Hostetter, of Roachdale; Cary Jackson, of Falmouth; Daniel C. Reed, of Attica, and Harry G. Strickland, of Greenfield, all of whom have agreed, it is said, to stand on the Democratic platform and oppose the Republican measure on the ground that the question is now before the people as a clearly-defined campaign issue and that action now would be not only unjustifiable, but the result of snap judgment. Republicans insist that the necessary votes for passage wil? be forthcoming and

Democrats are equally insistent that they will not be forthcoming. The words of the managers do not carry conviction because of the manner of expression. Neither side is sure. Doubt seems uppermost in the minds of the managers of both parties. This is taken to indicate that promises have been withheld and that some i promises are being questioned. o Official announcement was made Monday morning of the transfer of all the stock of the Portland Natural Gas & Oil company, of this city, to Samuel T. Murdock, of LaFayette, , Indiana. Murdock is at the head of 1 a syndicate of capitalists which has ■ lately purchased a number of plants j in this and adjoining states. The , change in the control of the company I has been rumored for several weeks, i but was only finally closed Monday, | w-hen the control of the property was 1 transferred to the new owners. William Griest, who has been secretary and manager of the company for the last four year, and Homer Gillum,who | for a longer period, has been collec- j tor and field manager, will remain with the new owners of the plant, for the present at least. No statement of the future policj 7 of the Murdock syndicate has been given out, but it is thought that they will continue the ; present operation of the plant so long ' as it is a paying investment, after which it will be turned into an artificial plant. This has been done in ■ a number of other cities where they have purchased franchise rights.— Portland Commercial-Review. Messrs. Herbert Bremerkamp. Clay- 1 son Carroll, Ed Geis and Lawrence 1 Kleinhenz were the guests of Will 1 Berling at Ohio City last evening. 1 They enjoyed a chicken supper, and I all report a fine time.

The last will and testament of Henry S. Passon. late of Jefferson township, was probated Tuesday. He provides for the payment of debts, including his last illness and all funeral expenses. He then bequeaths that this wife, Sarah Jane Passon, shall have full control and possession of his eighty-five acre farm in Jefferson township, to use the income as she sees fit. At her death the farm and all other property, personal and real held by him is to be divided equally among the children, Alice Foreman, Sarah Boze, Isabelle Dotson, Hattie J.

TAFT’S ITINERARY ARRANGED A Ten Days' Trip Through the Western States. Chicago, Sept, 15. —Ten days of traveling, with almost constant speaking, havee been arranged for William H. Taft, the Republican candidate for president. The trip will be made on a special train starting from some ! Illinois point, probably Chicago, about September 25. The tour will extend as far north as Minneapolis and Fargo, N. D., as far south as several points in Kansas, and west to Denver. Mr. Taft will be back in Chicago in time to speak before the deep waterways convention on October 7. The itinerary of Judge Taft engaged the attention of Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, of the Republican national com'mittee, as soon as he arrived here I from New York. Political leaders were here to meet the Chairman from North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, I Minnesota. Kansas, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Kentucky, and the representatives of several other states communicated with headquarters by long distance telephone. I o Mrs. C. C. Myers, of Robinson, 111., who visited with Decatur relatives, arrived in Portland Monday and will be joined here this evening by her husband, who has been at Hartford City on a business trip. They will remain over night with her parents. Mr. and Mbs. F. A. Cougill, west Main street and expect to leave on Tuesday for Robinson. —Portland Sun. J. V. White has returned to his Bluffton home after spending sfeveral months in a local hospital. Mr. White some time ago submitted to an operation for the removal of several ribs on his left side, made necessary by the infection of his lung. His condition for a time was so critical that his life was despaired of, but through careful medical attention he is now practically recovered. —Bluffton Banner.
