Stung again,. That’s the way a itmber of people of this city and vicinity may express it, and the wise «es are saying we thought so. Satroay afternoon a reiiow drove up to the comer of Second and Madison streets with a whole wagon load of assorted nuts, and began offering them at ten cents per quart or three for a quarter. He sold them while businessmen shook their heads in away that said there must be something TOag, and there was. It is known by al! who have reason to price such pods that they are retailing at from twenty to thirty cents per pound and here was a fellow selling them for half what they cost wholesale. He sold bushels of them and pulled out for his home in the evening (he lived it Fort Wayne), announcing that he

He r; that the plaintiff had failed to 1 Ve her charges of cruel and inhuldai treatment. The principal proof "’the defense in his charge of cruel h inhuman treatment, he said, was acknowledgement of the plaintiff i she had told the defendant that • did not love him, never had loved ~n and married him for his money. ( — e judge held that the defendant was fit person to take care of thechllen and owing to the fact that he n furnish them a home he gave em to his custody. The judge, bower, held that the plaintiff should re?ive alimony, stating that in order > keep her from resorting to any uniwfuk means of making a living the <w provided for this. He found that he property of the defendant was forth about SII,OOO, with $2,000 debt n it.

As she passed her husband she broke dovtn and was weeping when she went down the stairs. Thp defendant was well pleased with the verdict and although he appeared touched when he saw his wife leaving the room, he said that the judge could not have given a better decision. The money feature, he said was not such an item to him as the custody of the children. He wanted the custody of them. —Bluffton Banner. —o— —• Two young lads, hidden away from the sight of parents and others who might not have liked it, quietly smoking corn cob pipes, caused a rather bad Are at no in Saturday,when the wareroom owned by the Decatur Egg Case company and located on west Adams street was completely destroyed. It is supposed the boys dropped'a match on the flooor and the blaze resulted. The room was filled with about 300 bales of excelsior and It made an ugly Are. A stiff wind was blowing and the Are company did good work in saving the surrounding buildings and sheds. The loss to the stock is- estimated at about S3OO and to the building at SI,OOO, both insured Had the Are spread east to the stave piles as was feared at first the blaze might have been one of the worst ln the history of the city, as the strong -uhwest wind would have swept it on into the heart of the city. An excellent literary program will be rendered at the Decatur high school rooms tomorrow afternoon, and no doubt many will attend, pils are anxiously awaitmg the ho lav vacation which begins Friday morning and lasts until January •

Augusta. Ga., Dec. 19.—William H.' Taft, president-elect of the United States, announced the appointment of Vnited States Senator Philander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania, as secretary o Si ate in his cabinet. The announcement followed the receipt by Mr. Taft ( of a telegram which came late this . afternoon, conveying the information from Mr. Knox that he would accept the premiership of the Taft cabinet. , 1 feel that I am to be congratulated in securing the services of Senator ' Knox in my cabinet,” said Judge Taft ' in making the announcement, a.nd making the same with the understanding that he was to be quoted. “In selecting a secretary of state, I wanted first a great lawyer and second, a man who would fill the public eye, not only here but abroad, as a man who stands out pre-eminently as a great American. Mr. Knox was a great attorney general; he was a prominent candidate for the presidency, and is recognized in the senaate and elsewhere as one of the great lawyers of that body.”

Washington, Dec. 19.—The free service performed by the postoffice department may receive a good deal of attention before this session of congress ends. Many persons, including men Inside congress and men outside of that body, are coming to believe that it would be a fine thing it the free service of the postoffice department should be abolished. Its abolition would wipe out and remove a standing temptation to men to use the fre e privileges dishonestly. The reports covering the special weighing of the mail for a six months’ period last year furnish the first reliable data as to what the free service amounts to. The estimated weigh of the free mail matter carried during a year is 76,355,738 pounds. If this mail all paid postage at the regular rate it would bring into the treasury $20,881,239. In addition to this free secondclass matter, the department carried free mail of its own, which, if it had been paid for, would have brought in a revenue of over $21,000,000. o Real estate transfer: Joseph Stuckey to Noah Luglnbill, lot 191 Berne, $2,900; Alexander Bolds et al to Rosina W. Lindsey, 35 acres in Wabash township, $2,800. The'lndiana Lighting Company has given a mortgage on their various properties in this state for $5,000,000 and same was recorded today. This is practically the same mortgage filed a few months ago, this one showing some changes in property. A marriage license has been issued to William Fronefleld, 53, and Malinda Fronefleld, 58. They will be married this evening, it being their marriage. Samuel D. Johnson, 22, a telegraph operator of this city and Edna Engle, 21, of Washington township. Anson B.

Senility and its attendant complications has ushered into eternity Mrs. Annie, wife of the late Jacob Good, although the of this highly respected woman will remain fresh in the minds of Adams county pioneers as long as they shall live. Her death occurred at the home of Solomon Good, her son, at Dayton, Ohio. Bom in Fairfield county, Ohio, she in early womanhood was united in marriage to Mr. Good, accompanying him to Adams ccunty in 1849, where, in Washington township, they engaged in farming. A thrifty farmer was Mr. Good and with the aid of his noble wife, he soon acquired a neat fortune. In 1882 he was taken to the great beyond and soon afterward Mrs. Good purchased a space of ground in Root township, where she built a home, disposing of the former to Arthur Fisher. Her health became so feeble that four years ago she abandoned housekeeping and went to the home of her son in Dayton, where the closing chapter of her long life was spent. She has been ailing for years, but her condition assumed dangerous proportions of late months, death coming as sweet release from the pangs of Intense sufferings. her demise being recorded yesterday morning. The remains were shipped to this city Satirlay and lay at the Yager Brothers and Reinking morgue until the cortege left for the Beery church. The funeral services were held at one o’clock, Rev. Abraham Stalter officiating. Interment took place at the Beery cemetery. Surviving to mourn the loss of a devoted mother are four daughters: Mrs,

Mary Beery. Darke county Ohio; Mrs Louise Andrews. Monroe; Mrs. Betsy Parrish, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Sarah McKinley, Elkhart county, Indiana, and three sons: Solomon, of Dayton; Eli, Michigan, and Daniel, Elkhart county. The deceased was 88 years of age and resided in this county about sixty years. — o-— —— The social stunt played by Post X Friday evening was sh e best am most enjoyable ever held at the Commercial Club, and that is going some. A social time was enjoyed until 9:39, when luncheon was served in the parlors of the club. Sandwiches, salad, oyster patties, wafers and coffee composed the delicious menu. The service was par excellence, being under the skilled management of Mrs. Frank Ctawford. Following the luncheon, W. H. Wiley, as president of Post X, introduced the speakers of the evening, and short talks followed, much of which was of interest to the local membership. The state and district officers spoke at length about the work and good accomplished, accident insurance being the sober and principal side of the organization. Indiana division stands second in membership. The financial reports of the national association show large and healthy reserve funds, thus making safe’the insurance feature. Rev. Spetnagle, chaplain of the local post, made a pleasing address, supplemented with several stories, thus adding to the gaiety of a most delightful session. The state officials are today on a 1 scouting tour for new members, and it is thought the campaign will bear the ’ of success.
