There he I ay in Semi-conscious condition until the wife, who went to the barnyard cn ar. eirand beheld he r husband in the pal Plight. Mrs. Peoples was overwhelmed with grief. When askeo what had happened, the afflicted man said "Something ran over me.” He arose to his feet and with the essUianee of hi s wife, he walked to the house, where until midnight he lay, conscious of his surroundings, although suffering untold pain. Shortly after midnight he relapsed into unconsciousness. not to regain rationality again on earth, death coming as a great relief from awful pain. The deceased noting that the colt had escaped from the barn, had set out to capture it. He was closely behind the animal when it turned the corner of the ba,n. The animal, however, turned and started to retrace its steps, coming int> contact with Mr. Peoples as they were both turning the corner. An examination disclosed the fact that . he was seriously injured internally. , aside from exterior bruises, sustained 1 \in the fall. The deceased has lived an _ eventful life. He has traveled the t long journey through life in an upright j honorable manner and at no time have _ his movements, business deals or life , been subject to the slightest criticism. He was a man among men, and it was _ not infrequent that he was greeted with, "Hello Uncle Robert” by many whom he did not recognize, but who ’ knew him as a consequence of his un- ’ limited popularity among all classes. 5 Mr. Peoples has lived a Christian life • Having bon born and raised in Adams - county, he when in his boyhood days I identified himself with the Union • Chapel church and his life has been f a living example of Christianity.

They will, of course, i continue the brave struggle which j they have made against heavy odds ; ' since the beginning cf the campaign J Even now, with ?il th? facts aininst , ! them, the Republican leaders do not openly admit defeat. They still try to j hope that seme lucky turn of event.'-, tome accident, may enable Taft ‘o squeeze through. They are fighting 'politicians, these hoosiers.and they :.*o not always know when they are whipped: and when they do knew it they do not confess it. Down in their hearts those of them who know the truth, in so far as it can be known, feel that the game is about over and the score against themt but there is another inning to play, and they go on with the sruggle bearing as brave an outward front as they can under the circumstances. It is a discouraging situation which they face. If one dares tell the plain truth, it is so much the loss of the state on the presidency that gives them grief as the fact that if Taft goes down the governorship gees with it. the state ticket, the legislature, a United States senatorship. _ —o “When" the sun shines and the streets become dusty, you wish it would rain: when it rains and the streets bee me muddy, you wish the sun would shine.

Ponies sold for $225 each and a Clydesdale stallion went for $2,150. It was Mr. Spuhler's mest successful sale of his career, and he is accordingly well pleased. Sadie E. Myers, this morning filed a complaint for divorce from her husband. Harvey Myers, through her attorney, C. L. Walters, of Decatur. The plaintiff is living in Craigville with her parents, while the defendant is residing in Decatur. According to the complaint the couple were married in April, 1899. They separated, the plaintiff alleges, in March of this year and in April the plaintiff moved to the heme of her parents in Craigville. She has since resided there. She alleges that during this time her husband has made no attempt to provide for her and furnish money for her children. The woman alleges that during their marriage her husband t-rated her coldly and that on one ecasion he locked her out of doors. He was brutal to the children, she alleges, one time striking one so hard that, blood flew over his clothes. She states that her husband lived with her merely with the hopes of getting her money. The woman asks for divorce and the custody of the two children. She also requests that her husband pay an amount, which the court [may fix. for the provision cf the chiii dren. —Bluffton Banner. o Chicago, Oct. 17.— W. R.

Haskell of Oklahoma. Mr. Hearst ' merged from a locked toilet room ■ fter the deputy sheriff bad broken epen the door of the stateroom occupied by Mrs. Hearst, who shrieked loudly for help. Mr. Hearst then accepted service. Up n his arrival in Chicago today Mr. Hearst dictated the following statement: “I do not at all care whether the method of serving the summons was contraiy to law or net and I am perfectly willing to receive the summons. I do not held anything against, the deputy sheriff except, the fact that he did not say that he was an officer of tho law. He did not say that ho had a summons o' any Ki'Sor a legal paper of any kind to serve. I was in the bathroom at the time, not avoiding any cne nor suspecting 1 any one. Some one knocked at the < door and Mrs. Hearst went, to the < door. She thought the man was a I drunken ruffian. She declined to let 1 him in and he broke open the door, i I stepped out and asked what the trouble was ail about, and the man said he had a summons in a civil 1 suit to serve.

NOTHING TO THIS ELECTION Chairman Mack Makes a Pleasing Forecast. Chicago, Oct. 17.—National Chairman Mack, who has been in Chicag for nearly two weks directing the fight in the west for the election of the democratic ticket, left for the east. After registering gt his home in Buffalo Mr. Mack will leave for New York to look over the situation in New York and the east. Mr. Mack said: "When I came west some two weeks ago I realized that the tide had turned toward democracy and every indication pointed to victory for the democracy in November. The situation is far better than then, and I return east confident of the election of Mr. Bryan. I have not received one discouraging report. Mr. Bryan will not only receive the majority of the electoral vote, but one of the greatest popular votes ever given a candidate. The fight fs won, but we must keep everlastingly at it for the remaining two weeks of the campaign. It is too early to give out figures and I will not attempt to do so. But I will say now that New York. Ohio and Indiana are democratic this year, and my prediction does not take Into consideration a number cf other states that will swing from the republican to the democratic column. Several years ago, among the saloon men at Berne, who asked for a license was one George W. Nichols. The remonstrance signed by Jeff Lehman and several other citizens of Monroe township was filed and when the matter came up before the beard of commissioers the license pvas refused. Nichols appealed to the circuit court, and a change of venue taken the case being sent to Jay county fcr trial, where Nichols lost again. He then appealed to the appellate court of Indiana, and there the cause has hung ever since, until Thursday of this week, when a decision was given in favor cf the remonstrators, affirming the decision of the lower court. The opinion was by Judge Hadley and provides: (1) The enactment, in 1905, of the Moore law providing for remonstrances against applications for s >loon licenses, which contained all the principal provisions of the Nicholson law of 1897, with additions thereto, continued the re-enacted provisions in force without any break or change. (2) The power of a holder cf powers of attorney from the legal voters of his township, authorizing him to sign the names of such voters to remonstrances directed against individual applicants for saloon licenses therein was not annulled nor affected by the passage of the Moore law after such powers of attorney were given and before a re- ! monstrance was signed and filed by him. The remonstrators were represented by Judge Merryman and Attorney Jesse C. Sutton cf this city, who. of ' Course, feel much o ; a;ed ever rhe victory. 0 Now that the subsidy tor the Bluffton, Geneva & Celina interurban has ‘ been voted in Hartford and Wabash townships, Adams county, the promoters of the line, will try and get it financed as soon as possible. They hope to be able t start work on the line by the time the weather opens up in the spring. Although it is improbable that any bonds will be sold until after election, the local men hope to be able to dispose of all of them to eastern trust companies.-—Bluffton Banner. Among the list of contributors to the democratic national campaign fund, published teday in the metropolitan papers, is the name of Abram Simmonsycf this city, who sent a check for S2OO to the national committee about six weks ago. Abe never belongs to any organization but what be can be counted on to do his share and .this dees not apply to politics alone. There is hardly a local enterprise in Bluffton and Wells county but that he has always come un with his share. —Bluffton News. G. A. It. posts all over the country are taking up the investigations of the resolution which was passed at the last national encampment,whereby the > old soldiers went on record as not be-1 ing in favor of asking congress for any more pension legislation for three years. The local post held an indignation meting. The resolution, it is claimed, was passed after nearly all of the delegates had gone home and I those who were in the tall were in a , hurry to get through with their busi-j. ness and did not take time to investi-j gate what they were voting for. i Cliff Lipkey, son of Sheriff and Mrs. : W. A. Lipkey, for several years city : editor of the Evening Banner and later i owner of a grocery in this city, will . return this evening from Little Rock, : Ark., where he has been the past eight i months working on the Arkansas Gazette.

Mr. Lyman Hart, a pioneer of this county, a kindly, chirstian man. of many good and noble qualities, died at 1:30 Monday morning, quite suddenly, at the home of John Wolford, at Mon- ■ mouth, where he has been making his home lately. Death was due to heart trouble and to the ailments usual to one of his extreme old age. For some months his health has been failing, but he has been able to be about. Just a week ago yesterday he attended the services at the First Presbyterian church in this city and took dinner at the home of W. A. Lower. During the past week he has been about as well as for some time and yesterday, as usual was up and about the house. A few minutes before his death he awakened the Wolford family and asked for a cracker and a drink of water, saying that his stomch hurt him. This was given him and a moment later he expired. He was born, according to a statement recently written by his own hand, at Westford, Vermont, August 28th, 1825, and had thereforp passed his eightythird milestone in life's journey. When very young his parents removed to St. Lawrence county, New York.where he lived until he was thirteen years old. when the family removed to Galion, Richland county, Ohio. From there they came to Adams county in 1844, sixty-four years ago and settled near Monmouth, where the deceased has lived for the greater part of his life. A number of years ago he moved to this city, where he resided for some time, returning to a small farm near Monmouth where he lived until about a year ago, when his wife died, and Mr. Hart then took up his home with the Wolford family. At the age of twelve Mr. Hart was converted and baptized and joined ' the Free Will Baptist, church. Later he became a member cf the Lutheran church, remaining faithful to the ’ teachings until death. He was a sincere Christian and cne of the most devout men who ever lived in this community. He was married in 1849 to Harriet C. Lord, and to this union were born six children, fiv.e of whom j and his companion, proceeded him to the spirit world, a sen Henry Hart, dying only about a year ago.

I • The H.-nly meeting at Berne Saturi day is said to have been a rather ■ chilly affair, by no moans what was - expected. The crowd is conservativet ly estimated to have been not over cne s thousand, and the enthusiasm was far i from the kind that inspires the worki ers of a party. The governor went 1 through this city a few minutes after j five o’clock Saturd v evening, travel- , ing in Judge Vesey's automobile en--3 rente to Fort Wayne, where he spoke - Saturday evening and where his recep- :, tion is also said I- have been below e normal. As he went through this city. .. he caused no particular stir as might i, hive been expected from the presence s o’l tile executive officer of this great \ e state, and the touring car never stepii (1. going along at a good comfortable gait. The err was trimmed, with American flags, this fact signaling the r fact that tie govc-nor's party were a the occupants there-f. The governor >. dees not seem to ho creating any great (1 amount of excitement at any of the P stops in his tour of the state, and the p remark is often heard thqj he might >. be serving all of the people of In- : dian: hotter if he would remain at s the executive mansion, doing those ;■ duties for which he was sworn in i, than by making political speches cvt er the state.
