Alex Leßrun is making all preparations to open a meat market in the west part of the city. He has engaged the building located on he corner of Seventh and Adams street and had painted the furniture when Mrs. Whitright, who some time ago operated a restaurant there, appeared and claimed the furniture. A word combat ensued, and Mrs. Whitright called Marshal Bohnke, requesting him to secure the furniture for her. The officer notified her that no such matters were ui der his jurisdiction, and that she would be compelled to settle the matter herself. She settled it, but net peacefully. She tore the shelves from their position and proceeded to get what she claimed belonged to her, while Alex looked cn with amazement.

The district meeting of the Christian Endeavor societies will convene here Thursday afternoon and continue in session until Friday evening. Jesse Brown, a son of Solomon Brown, living southeast of the city was in the city today tor the purpose of having bls left hand which has been causing him much trouble, dressed. The hand suddenly began to swell several days ago and after swelling to several times its normal size, gathered. A physician lanced it today but was unable to find the cause of the trouble and another attempt will have to be made latter to find the cause which is supposed to be a splinter or some othe r foreign substance that has become imbedded in the flesh.—Bluffton News.

John Hocker, of the firm, Hocker & Smith .recently of Monroe, who sev- < eral weeks ago disposed of a lawn 1 mower sharpener patent to a Pyke. ' N- H„ firm for >17,000, Las gone to ’ that place to take charge of the factory In which the device will be man- < nfactured. After securing the patent the eastern firm deemed it advisable to engage the services of Messrs. Hocker and Smith to superintend the manufacture of the valuable article 1 which they had invented. They were so anxious to employ these gentlemen that an offer of >IOO per month and all expenses wag made to each of the gentlemen. Mr. Hocker accepted Immediately and left a few days ago for the eastern city to assume his position for which he will receive the handsome salary. Mr. Smith, however, found it impossible to leave for the reason that his mother is Quite ill and although he has practically refused the offer, he may in the future accept should the condition of his aged parent improve. It is quite likely that Mr, Hocker will remove his family to Pyke and remain there permanently. ■"* o A motion to retax costs in the case of Wruscilla Mentzer vs. Clarence Hicks and Orin Miller, was overruled and thirty days’ time granted defendants to file bill of exceptions.

The fire yesterday afternoon which damaged very heavily the handsome home and furnishings of B. G. Lynch, on south Main street, was much more serious than was thought at the time of going to press yesterday. The los s will probably amount to several thousand dollars Instead of several hundred as reported yesterday. The heme and furnishings are comparatively new, having been occupied only about one year, and everything is elegant and expensive. Tae insurance on the building is $6,000, and on the furniture $2,500. Mr. Lynch was asked by a reporter for The News this morning as to what he estimated his loss, but at the time he had not made an estimate of the damage. It is safe to say, however, that almost everything in the building Is a total loss. It is not known definitely the origin of the fire, but it is supposed to have originated from some defect in the furnace. At the time of the arrval of the fire department, the building was in flames, and the smoke was so dense that it was impossible for the firemen to enter the building and they were compelled for a time to fight the flames from the outside. Another obstacle they had to combat with was the scarcity of water, the pump at the station breaking, and for several minutes there was no water at all. At the time of the fire there was no one at home, Mr. Lynch being at the factory, and Mrs. Lynch being at the home of her mother, Mrs. Holthouse, the fire being discovered by a negro across the street.—Jonesboro (Ark.) News.

Henry Ormsby, the old man arrested here last Saturday and taken to Bluffton to answer to a charge of chicken stealing, was Thursday given a fine and jail sentence. The Bluffton New s thus tells the story: Another criminal case was quickly disposed of in circuit court today when Henry Ormsby, charged by John Ledbetter with chicken stealing, appeared before Judge Sturgig and entered a plea of guilty to petit larceny. The judge fixed the penalty at one dollar and costs and 30 days in jail and Ormsby was committed to jail to lay out the sentence and the fine, giving him a total of about forty-five days with with Sheriff Lipkey. The act which got Ormsby, who is an old gentleman, past sixty years of age. occurred several weeks ago at the Ledbetter home east of Bluffton. Aroused from sleep late one night, Mr. Ledbetter stole out to his coop to find Ormsby industriously -at work picking the yellow legs from the roosts and thrusting them into a sack. Ledbetter almost broke Ormsby's wrist with a club as he brought him to time and caught him up before Ormsby had any idea that he had been detected. He plead hard not to be prosecuted and declared it was his first offense. Ledbetter at first intended to let him go and refused to divulge his name, but several days later said he Had decided that Ormsby deserved punishment and he filed the affidavit. Ormsby had disappeared but was located in Adams county where Sheriff Lipkey arrested him last Saturday.

Washington, November 20.—Presi-dent-elect Taft has picked one man for his cabinet. Gifford Pinchot, who is now the United States forester, will be secretary of agriculture under the new administration. Overton W. Price, who is now the assistant forester, will succeed Mr. Pinchot as the head of the forest service. Mr. Roosevelt would have put Mr. Pinchot at the head of the department of agriculture, but the services of James Wilson were so satisfactory that the change could not well be made. Mr. Wilson, when he retires, will have served as secretary of agriculture twelve years. Pinchot is the originator of the government’s new forest policy, and from the first has been the moving spirit behind the movemente for the conservation of the country's resources. Washington, November 20. —One of the first acts of Representative Barnhart, of Rochester, Ind., will be to introduce a bill to reimburse the South Bend postmaster for the amount of the robbery loss on last Saturday night, provided the >18,653 worth of stamps are not recovered. The rules and regulations of the postoffice department permit the postmaster-gen-eral of the United States to take care of such robberies up to the sum of >10,0610, (firing the credit on his account for the actual loss he sustained, after a careful investigation has shown that the postmaster took the proper precautions to prevent loss by robbery. Washington, November 20.—Tne National Anti-Saloon League will renew' its efforts to obtain from congress legislation that will enable the states in the exercise of their police pow’ers, to control interstate traffic in intoxicating liquors. It is not building up any false hopes, because it has seen the opponents of such Igeislation triumph time and again, but it means to continue the fight until it gets what it wants.

The most lengthy and probably the most interesting literary program rendered by Decatur high school students was that of Friday afternoon when the Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes collectively, were the authors of a very pleasing entertainment. Earl Colter, Helen Walters, Francis Gast and Clem Steigmeyer were the principals in a play from “Nicholas Nickelby" and readings were given by Anna Ampsbaugh, Vera Hammond and Harry Hoffman.| Lewis Adler delivered an oration while Lawrence Biggs and Matie Chronister gave readings.

The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the M. E. church held their regular meeting at the home of Mrs. F. V. Mills Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Beachler gave a very interesting talk on the work being done in the homes supported by the society. Mrs. Emma Daniels read Mrs. Hooper’s report of the conference convention which supplemented by her remarks, made an excellent report. Mrs. Helm then read a carefully prepared report of the financial standing of the local auxiliary. The ladies were very much gratified with the success of the rumamge sale which closed last Saturday night after two weeks of hard work for the ladies of the society.

There is every indication that the American clover seed crop of 1908 will be among the largest ever produced. The stock cn hand now. in Toledo and Chicago, to say nothing of that held in Canada and other places, is larger than it has been for many years, a nd the threshing is not by any means anywhere near finished. Ohio and Indiana, which are large clover-producing states, have a very large crop this year, and the weather conditions which produce the large crop jn these two states were similar to those ever the entire corn and clo-

The rear seat of an automobile in which Mrs. Henry Bradley and Mrs. B. E. White, of Wabash, were riding, slipped off as the car was going at a high speed. The ladies were left a mile behind in the roadway before Mr. White and the chauffeur in the front seat of the car learned of the mishap. Mrs. White was painfully hurt in the fall from the speeding machine. It finally rained, but so far it is safe to say the small rainfall has not had a very serious effect on the hardened earth in this vicinity or upon the empty cisterns.
