This is election day. rt comes, the real election day. only once in four years. Every one is glad when it’s all over, even though many feel badly j for several weeks, when they think |of the might have beens and ponder | over the time and energy and money j which has been spent, but it has to come, and every true American thrills j today, for this is the occasion when he has equal chance with every other citizen to stand for his sentiments, he they what they may. Today, ail over this greatest of all lands, from lakes to gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, men of every station in life are rubbing shoulders about the polls, working for that which they believe to be to their benefit. Its a great system after all, and no difference who wins, the other fellow will be tip and coming just the same at the next election. Messages from over the country, from New York, Buffalo and other cities of tlje east, as well as from Ohio, from this state, and from the west say that the vote is a large one. and it is quite probable that the results when announced tonight and tomorrow will furnish even more than the usual surprises. In this county the election passed in the usual quiet manner, but with the indications that the vote will be large. This is due partially to the fact that this is a national election and partially to the fact that ir. several of the townships three are hot contests for trustee and assessors. Both the democrat sand republicans have arranged to receive the returns this evening at their headquarters and have had special wires put in by the Western Union. The Daily Democrat has as usual made preparations to get the returns from ever this county and same will be sent immediately to the democratic headquarters. Another twenty-four hours will probably tell the story. o James Chaddock arrived home Saturday night from a thirty days’ trip through Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, during which he visited with six nephews and nieces at Oklahoma whom he had never seen. Mr. Chaddock reports that crops in the states he visited were fairly good and the alfalfa, the chief crop in Oklahoma, he says was exceptionally good this year. He says that on some fields five crops hav ebeen cut. Mr. Chaddock visited the big Texas state fair at Dallas and says that on one day there were 110,000 people passed the turnstile. —Bluff ton Fanner.

J Attorney David E. Smith has filed j a sensational divorce case, in which , Bessie Brcwn fs the plaintiff and El' | mer Brown the defendant. The ( Browns wer~> married January 26, 1907. ( and separated April 14th last after ] a stormy married life of but little , over a year. The complaint alleges } that soon after the marriage the deifendant began a series of cruel and , inhuman treatment. Brown is a br* ther of the Brown, of Van Wert, who 1 about a year ago poisoned his wife . who was :i! with the grippe, by giving 1 her strychnine instead of grippe pow- i ders, and who was given a life sen- I tence for his act. Not the least of < the cruel acts of this defendant is the < fact that he frequently told his wife < that he would make way with her in a similar manner, but would not i be foolish enough to purchase the i poison so near home, where the au- i thorities could find it out. He also 1 said that he did not blame his broth- j er for murdering his wife. Another : act of the defendant was that on sev- i eral occasions he shook money at the j plaintiff and told her that he was go- : ing away to spend it with other women, that he would then go away and ] return in a few days and tell her about the time he had. Failure to , provide is also alleged. At a time when Mrs. Brown was sick in bed her husband even approached the bedside and cursed and threatened the woman whom he had sworn to cherish and love In sickness and in health. One child, Alonzo Columbus, was born to 1 the union being now a year old. Last April Brown left his home, they were then living at Marion, Indiana, and ' told Mrs. Brown that if she was there when he returned there would be trouble, and frightened that he would carry out his threats to do the same as his brother, she came to this county and has since lived in this townj ship. She asks for a divorce, the custody of the child. S3OO alimony and five dollars per month for the support 1 of the child. EARLHAM IS RECOVERING. ’ i Now Determined to Administer Defeat to Rose and DePauw. Richmond, Ind., Nov. 2. —Earlham [ college is gradually coming out from . under the shock of the overwhelming . defeat sustained at the hands of Butler • on Saturday and will endeavor to re- , trieve itself by administering defeats to its oldtirae rivals, Rsoe Poly and

De Pauw. If Coach Vail can get his men into condition to win from these two schools, Earlham, while perhaps not techincally secondary champion, would have practically as good a claim on the title as any of the other secondary institutions, and especially so should either Rose or De Pauw admin- , ister a defeat to Butler in the mean- , time. Vail has redoubled his energies and will not allow himself to be discouraged by the defeats at the hands of Wittenberg and Butler, both of which games had been conceded to Earlham in advance. The blame for the defeat of last Saturday is placed without question on the shoulders of the team, and not on Coach Vail, who had done his work well. The members , of the team seem to have lost their heads. In practice they had been getting away with the forward passes, I line bucks and tackling in first class shape, but in the game with Butler ’ they seemed to drop from first class to fifth class. Some are rs the opinion that it was because they tied too hard. BURGLAR LOCKS HIM7TLF IN. Gathers Plunder but Dr - s It When Servant Tries Paor.

—Owlng-S'the fact that he got too intimate with a stranger. Otto Mum- i ma . who has been working in Ohio, but was on his way to visit his moth- i er in this city, Mrs. Wysong, lost a i grip at Part Wayne Thursday with i practically all cf his surplus clothes. Mumma was cn his way here and m Fort Wayne stopped m a saloon. There be got id conversation with a man, who gave ms name as Dunlap. He knew several Bluffto:n people and as Mumma was anxious to hear from people from home they soon became intimate. Dunlap told Mumma that there were two Bluffton men running a saloon in Fort Wayne and suggested that a visit be made to the place of Ike Gerring and Tom Fox. The two were there a short time and they left, Dunlap going in a different direction. When Mumma returned to the saloon on Columbia street where he last met the stranger his grip was gone. The proprietor cf the place said that Dunlap has been in for it. saying that Mumma had sent him after it. According to the description given Sheriff Lipkev by Mumma the man is the same fellow who was arrested here last summer, charged with stealing a watch from a Muneie woman. He was enlarging pictures at that time. The! trouble was patched up by the return of the watch and payment of costs. Mumma received word this afternoon through Sheriff Lipkey that Detective Soliday, of Fort Wayne, had, recovered his grip, but had not arrested the man. Soliday did not say in his telephone message whether the grip was taken from a hotel, or whether the man had left it and made his getaway after learning that the officers were after him—Blufftcn Banner. o AN AFTERNOON PARTY Given by Mrs. Dan Vail Was Very Enjoyable.
