That a movement is on foot by a number of the feminine sex of Jay county to petition the next national rongress to enact a law giving women tbe right to express their opinions on matters pertaining to the government of the state and nation by the aid of their ballot has come to light here. A few days ago three Redkey ladies—Mrs. Leavell, Mrs. Andrews and Mrs. Williamson—called at the county auditor’s office to learn the number of lady ,tax-payers in the county and finding that the work of going over the tax duplicates and copying the large list of names would require mere time than they had anticipated, they secured the service of Miss Hattie Smith to peruse the duplicates for that purpose. The duplicates show a total of 3.005 lady tax-payers in the county and their names have been forwarded to the Redkey ladies representing the cause and it is said that in turn they will be sent to the house of represenatives at Washington, D. C.. accompanying the petition asking congress to enact the law permitting wemen the privilege of voting. —Portland Sun. Mra.

hog has become WILa Esca P« from Pen and Thwarts All Attempts to Capture It. Columbus. I„d , Oct 28.-A “wild “fj® nxnnin S at large in the Haw«reek bottoms near this city. Although John Dahn, owner of the hog, has offered a reward of $5 for its return, dead or alive, it continues to elude the Posse which has been after it two days. The hog at one time was as tame as any hog, but one day it got away and went to a neighbor’s cornfieM. Miss Mary Brown owns the cornfield. and complained that the porker was destroying her corn. Unsuccessful efforts were made to capture the hog and return it to its pen. The longer the hog remained at large the wilder it pew. A gang of men and boys found it in a cornfield yesterday and tried to drive it home. The hog scampered awaj as fast as a dog could run, and being chased to White river, it jumpc into the stream and swam across! Later the gang went back, armed with riflest and shotguns, but they were unable to find it.

A new special judge will have to be appointed in the Terrell case when it comes to trial. Judge R. K. Erwin, Decatur, formerly judge of the Adams circuit court and special judge at that time in the Terrell case, has written Judge Sturgis a letter and refused to longer act as special judge in the Terrell matter. This will mean that Judge Sturgis will have to appoint a new special judge in the case, as he was one of the attorneys at the last trial and would hardly be qualified to sit on the bench himself. Terrell has failed to improve any since he has been in the jail. He still remains listless and will not speak unless spoken to and then only by “yes’’ or “no.” He spends most of his time tearing up paper and smoking his pipe. He has persistently insisted to the sheriff that all the inmates of the jail are insane from the fact that none of them wear white coats. The attendants at the hospital wear white coats, while the patients do not and he evidently got this impression there. The sheriff is going to provide the inmate who takes care of Terrell with a white coat so that the man will obey him. —Bluffton Banner.

Mays Landing, N. J., Nov. I—But for the prompt assistance of David Smith, Mrs. Mary Megargee, a wealthy wrman residing at Walker’s Forge Mansion, near here, would have perished in a dense swamp. Smith had Just returned from wtork when he heard loud cries coming from the swamp. Thinking at first it was a hoot owl he paid no attention, out recognizing the voice of a woman he put on gum boots, plowed his way through the swamp and, after tumbling over tussocks time after time and going over boot tops in water, flnaily spied Mrs. Megargee standing waist deep in water and holding to a tussock. The woman waa greatly excited, her hair disarranged and her clothing soiled. Smith carried the woman, after great difficulty, out to a clearing. She Bald slbe had left home for Mays Landing, taking a bypath for a short cut. She lost the path, but thought she was going all right when she struck the swamp. She tried to find the path, but got further in the swamp and had been in that position for some time when Smith heard her cries. Mrs. Megargee is well known in Atlantic City and is a great lover of dogs and horses. She employs several servants and is reputed to be very woalthy, <J The bowling alley opened to the public last evening and a large crowd passed the evening bowling.

Knowing full well that death was inevitable, Mrs. Harvey Daniels, late of St. Marys township has for more than one year endured the ravages of tuberculosis, bravely and without a murmur, surrendering her life to Almighty last Wednesday as a cessation of the intense pain characteristic to the awful disease. Born in Ohio January 19, 1885, she was twenty-three years, nine months and nine days of age at the time of her demise. Prior to the inception of the excruciating ailment she knew aught but happiness. Having enjoyed the splendor of her girlhood days, two years ago, she entered upon a matrimonial career, becoming the wife cf Harvey M. Daniels of St. Marys township. Matrimonial bliss, while yet in its prime, was sadly interrupted by the development of tuberculosis, which rarely can be checked, and with but few exceptions casts a deathly gloom about the household, which never can be forgotten. In an effort to rpstore health to the afflicted woman, she, accompanied by her husband, went to New Mexico several months ago, and while improvement was at first noted she soon relapsed into a retrogression, which seemed to signal the early coming of the death angel. Apprised of the seriousness of her condition she requested that she be brought back to Adams county that she may spend the closing chapter of her short life at home. This was done and weaker and weaker she has grown, passing away as above stated. A husband, father, of Rockford, Ohio, sister, Mrs. Wilbur Woods, of Union township, four step sons and two stepdaughters, beside many admiring friendj;. survive Jo mourn the departure of the estimable woman. The funeral services were held from the Calvary Evangelical church last Friday afternoon at. one o’clock standard time, Rev. D. O. Wise of Decatur, officiating. Interment was made at Salem cemetery.

Hessert of this city joined the lives of these estimable people. Uncles and aunts only of the contracting parties were the recipients of invitations to the gala affair, twenty-five of these being present. At the close of the ceremony the guests were seated at a table'heavily laden with the delicacies of the season and according to the report of A. H. Sellemeyer of this city all did justice to it, Mr. and Mrs. Vitz left that afternoon at 2:30 o’clock for Fort Wayne, from where they will proceed to Deflnance, where a neatly arranged home awaits their arrival. The newly wedded couple are both well known in this community. The bride, one of Adams county’s most highly respected young ladles, had attained an education which created a demand for her services as instructor in the public schools several years ago and after successfully teaching in the country for two years, she was granted a position in the Decatur schools, where for two years she has made a record unexcelled. In fact she had been appointed for a third term, but resigned on account of the approaching marriage. She is held in the highest esteem of all who extend hearty congratulations. The groom a graduate of Tiffin, Ohio, has been in the ministry for three years, is a brother of the Rev. Henry Vitz, who for fourteen years was pastor of the local Reformed church, and is now pastor of the German Reformed church at Defiance, Ohio. The out-of-town guests were Mrs. Anna Everhart, of Indianapolis, Rev. O. Vitz and F. Reppert, of Vera Cruz.

Hel-I ler opened her house for the occasion ! the rooms being beautifully and appropriately decorated. As the club , members and their guests arrived masked and dressed to represent ev- j erything from a ghost to au .Indian they were received by a ghostly figure ! , and ushered into the house, where a ( wise old owl presided and wierd , sounds in the dim light gave one the real for sure creeps supposed to be ; lurking around this particular night ■ in the year. Each guest drew a for-! ] tune from a jack o’ lantern and these', were read in strange falsetto au basso profundo voices that created a good , deal of amusement. Much merriment followed the unmasking as many of the disguises were complete. Next came a clever guessing contest. Mrs. Blake-Hedges, of Geneva, who spent two years abroad studying art, gave ■ a very interesting and instructive talk on Dutch art. She is a fluent talker and gave her hearers a very pleasant impression of the country of windmills as well as many facts about famous artists. Dainty menu cards I announced the following appetizing

The sad news conveyed to MS's. Tsadore Kalver yesterday morning to the effect that her father, Jonas Zin, was dying, prompted her to leave for Chicago to be at the bedside of her parent before his departure from this life. She left on the noon train yesterday and was but fairly on her way when Mr. Kalver received the second dispatch stating that the aged man had passed away. The decedent was a retired merchant, and at one time possesed several business places in that city. Disposing of these he retired to inactivity some tme ago, and fc r the past two years he has been ill, his condition at times being indeed alarming. The sudden change for the worse came recently and although his was considered a serious case, it was not believed that the end was so near. Seven daughters and four song survive to mourn the loss of a loving father. The deceased was past 67 years of age.

Repeated warnings to young men against racing on country and city roads, a ■ practice contrary to law, have net had their effect, as is demonstrated by the fact that two young men, one of whom is known, while racing yesterday near Pleasant Mills, frightened the norses driven by Albert jChronister and as a consequence two of the occupants were painfully injured by jumping from the vehicle, j Mr. Cbronister and family had been visiting and occupying a two seated rig, were homeward bound when the two young men who were racing dashed pafet. The horses belonging to Chronister became frightened and started on a dead run, which greatly excited Mrs. Chronister and she leaped from the vehicle sustaining injuries to her arm and limb. A son followed and he was badly injured. We are informed that If any such antics are again practiced the guilty parties will find themselves in the strong arm of the law. At this time no prosecutions have been made.
