1 Walter Johnson, a member of the Decatur fire department was painfully ’ injured Friday afternoon while as- ' sisting to manipulate the machinery of the hose cart, his index and little fingers of his left hand being badly ’ lacerated, the former being amputated a short time afterward. The department was called to the south part of 1 the city to extinguish a fire which had originated cn a field and after arriving at the scene they experienc- ! ed difficulty in unreeling the hose. Johnson seized the belt which operates ' the mechanism and as a consequence his hand was caught in a cog wheel ' with the above stated results. Special Judge V. W. Van Fleet, of Elkhart, sitting in the circuit court at Warsaw, who heard the evidence in the case against Roy Massena, of i Pierceton, charged with embezzling $1,500 while serving as deputy treasurer in 1905 and 1906 under J. J. Babcock, instructed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the accused, which was done, and a short time later the young man was discharged. At the conclusion of the taking of the evidence Friday afternoon, JudgeVanFleet excused the jury and addressed counsel for the state. He said that he could not allow the accused to go to the penitentiary even if the jury returned a verdict for conviction, because be did not think the defendant proven guilty by the evidence.

Wabash and Hartford townships want an ftast and west traction line. They want it badly, too, if the subsidy election held yesterday Is a criterion by which one may base his opinion Friday was the diy set fcr the boldine of elections in these 1 townships, and though there was some opposition, it carried heavy In every precinct but north Wabash, where but ' seven votes were cast in its favor and ’ 130 against it. However, this did not affect the result, as Wabash voted to give a subsidy of $15,076 to the Bluffton, Geneva & Celina company, the total being 424 “yes" to 188 ‘‘no,”while ' Hartford voted 170 to 58 that they will give them the sum of $9,405.

The first meeting of the day opened with an unusually large attendance. So interesting was each service that the time simply slipped away. The Sabbath school reached its climax both in numbers and eagerness in the lesson study. It was certainly delightful to lock upon such a well filled house of people, little and big, assembled for Bible study. The morning service, conducted by Rev. Tracy, of Bippus, Ind., was tne sweetest yet. He chcse for his theme “Power for Service,” based upon Acts 1:8. He spoke of man’s weakness sin. Os his strength by the infilling of the Holy Spirit. After the sermon a beautiful duet was sung by Mrs. Eugene Runyon and Miss Bessie Baumgartner. During the rendition of this heart-searching song a number came forward to renew their consecration and also to seek a deeper spiritual life. The Y. P. A. was well attended, Bro. S. C. Cramer ed a very helpful discussion cn the subject “Commending our Society—by Diligent Committee Work.” After the young peoples service, Bro. Metzner, of Huntington. Ind., spoke to a full house. He read a part of the thrilling story of Jonah’s attempt to escape from the call of God tc duty and from this deducted his theme “The Sin of Disobedience.” He said a large proportion of sin can be traced back to the act of disobedience. Man may disobey for some time and God will not cease his following after him, but the crucial test comes when man must decide either to be saved cr to be lost eternally. A beautiful duet was rendered and also an excellent solo. The interest is still growing and widening. A genuine revival spirit is coming upon the people and it is hoped that this wave shall continue to enlarge until the entirecity of Decatur shall feel its magnitude. Meeting each night of this week. Bro. W. S. Tracy, of Bippus, will preach for us tonight. Come.

E. church, a really no ble organization, held their regular annual thank offering service at the church Sunday night. A large number of the admirers of the society were present and thus spoke encouragement to the course represented. Mrs. John Niblick signaled the open--1 ing of the services by reading the scripture lesson, followed by a short 1 but interesting talk by Rev. Wilccx in which he told of the achievements 1 of this band of women. He revealed ’ the fact that 125.000 Christian ladies ' of the M. E. church north, belonged ’ to the society and were engaged in : a work for the betterment of humanity. This talk teemed with brilliant 1 logical thoughts. Mrs. John Niblick ’ then gave the history of the local or- ' ganization, told of the many institu- ■ ticns they aided to support and in ■ fact touched upon many of the vital 1 points of the society. Mrs. Daniel, in the closing address appealed to the ’ people for their support in the great ’ movement and demonstrated why the • support was deserved. The progressiveness and subsequent achievements of these ladies is not to be under- • estimated. By a perfect organization 1 plan and arduous labors, they have become the owner of more than sl,- > 000,000 worth of property which has I been appropriated for the redemption ’ of souls. Long may this society live, ’ that its influence will continue to be felt over the United States.

They thought it would be great sport to imitate everything he did. When the young man entered the parlor he blew his nose, which each of the girls promptly imitated. Thinking it a peculiar incident the young man proceeded to stroke his hair. Both girls followed. Then he straightened his collar. They did the same, and a few dimples and smiles began to appear in spite of them. Now it was the young man's turn. He was positive of his ground and calmly stooped down and turned up his trousers!—Ladies Home Journal. Miss Rose Christen, of the First National bank bookkeeping force, left Sunday evening for Muskogee, Okla.. where she will be the guest of her sister, Mrs. Frank E. France, for several weeks. During her absence her place at the bank will be filled by Mr. George Wilson, of Bluffton.

They were in Celina, St. Marys, New Bremen and other Ohio ' towns and in all had a delightful trip • and a pleasant time. j Cincinnati, October 10. —Richmond. , Ind., is included in the Enquirer’s j straw vote results published today. A ’ general canvase of the city was made 1 and much interest was taken in the J vote, it was reported. All classes of ’ voters cast their ballets, and the figures, abcut 400 voters, give a good line on the drift of sentiment in that city. 1 Taft received the most votes. 250: ‘ Bryan, 145; Debs, 12; Hisgen, one kne vote, but not one ballot was cast for ' Chafin, the Prohibition candidate. For ' the state ticket, however, cne man ' voted for prohibition, 6 for the Socialist ticket, 142 Republican and 222 ' Democrat. For the national ticket, 46 of the men who cast their ballots for Bryan voted the Republican ticket at the last presidential election. The Republicans gain only two Democratic votes, and the Socialists gain the same number of Prohibition votes. For the state ticket the Richmond straw vote | shows that ninety-six Republicans will change their votes to the Democratic side, while only cne Democrat goes to the Republicans. Five who voted for prohibition last June will vote with the Republicans, The Cincinnati voters in today’s statement are those cf the Central Labor .Council and the American Tool Works. In the council five Republicans will change to Democrats and one Democrat to Republican. At the food works sixty-four Republicans will change to Democrats on the national ticket and fifty on the state ticket. | William Fronefield and Isaac Zim- ' merman indulged in a fierce fistic encounter in a down town saloon Saturday afternoon, the former sustaining a badly distorted visage as a consequence. For several months these men have fostered unpleasant relations, and on several occasions have ! indulged in word combats, a predis- ■ posing cause for the brawl of Satur- ’ day. Fronefield, who it is said was • not particularly blessed with sobriety • entered the saloon at 3 p. m., begin- • ning at once to heap abuse upon Zim--3 merman, his stepson, substituting f names for the latter, not real, and c which in fact aroused the indignity of 3 Zimmerman, who, even after being • told that Fronefield possessed a por--3 tion of a brick in fais vest pocket, 1 procedeed to administer punishment I i to the man, forcing Fronefield to ■ j atone for his misdeeds. The latter was II hurled to the floor by a terrific blow c sustaining an ugly gash in the mixup, ' which demanded the attention cf a ' physician. This was the conclusion 1 of the fracas and let us hope that the ' curtain has been lowered never to ’ arise to bring again in the limelight 3 these men who have had serious trouble many times before.

The republicans have two campaign meetings planned for this week, and are advertising them extensively. On Thursday evening, Hon. A. O. Marsh, of Winchester will speak at the court house in this city on the issues, and it is expected that a gcod sized crowd will hear him. On Saturday one of the big events of the campaign will be pulled off at Berne, when Governor J. Frank Hanly will speak there, Judge Vesey, candidate for joint senator, will also speak and N. B. Hawkins, candidate fcr congress will also be. present. Mr. Vesey will meet the governor at Bluffton and convey him to Berne in his automobile and after the speech will take him through Decatur to Fort Wayne, where he speaks in the evening. However he is not billed for a speech here, and it is not stated whether or not he will stop here. The Berne meeting is to be enlivened by music by a Portland glee club and a boys’ martial band and fireworks are premised for the evening. o—————— Major Robert B. Allison had a severe chill Sunday afternoon, and the relapse was a very serious one. However, he rallied later in the day and this morning seemed as well as he has been for several wekes. His battle for health certainly shows a wonderful constitution. D. E. Studabaker, the Duroc Jersey farmer, will leave this evening for Collinswood, 111., where he will tomorrow attend the R. L. Conner sale and the day following will go to McLean, 111., to take in the Ewnig & Miller sale.

He is a prominent ycung farmer east of the city, and a brother to Robert Miller, living southeast of town about two miles. —Bluffton Banner. — - -o TOUGH WEATHER FOR WHEAT And It’s Most Too Late Now Even If Rains Come. Had th*' weather bureau purposely framed weather for the discomfcrt of farmers in this county, it could hardly have succeded better than does the present climatic conditions in inconveniencing agriculturalists. It has been expected that a large amount of wheat would be sowed this fall, but this was impossible for a long time owing to the dryness of the soil. Taking advantage of the slight showers which struck the county two weeks ago, the farmers hastily prepared their ground and sowed the wheat. So slight was the rain that it was soon dried away or had sunken into the soil and many fields cf wheat are yet bare because the seed did not germinate. Even should the rain fall within the next few days, some fields of wheat woul dpresent a checkered appearance and it is now too late to sew the cereal.

THE RALLY DAY SERVICES At First Presbyterian Church Were Well Attended. The rally day services at the First. Presbyterian church Sunday were very successful from the Sunday schcol to the evening sermon. At each service the church was well- filled and the program was of unusual interest. At the morning hour. Rev. Richard Spetnagle, the pastor, preached a most interesting sermon from the subject, "The Gospel of the Leaves, an Autumn Message,” the older people of the congregation being special guests. At the evening service the pastor begain a- series of sermons on "Bible Heroes,” and again the commodious church was filled with an attentive audience, each of whom appreciated the interesting and instructive sermon. o QUIET WEDDING SUNDAY.
