1 The advisory board of the Fort Waiyne and Springfield Traction company held their regular monthly meeting in the director’s room of the station Saturday, the session, beginning !at twelve o’clock. Fifteen members ' of the board from Ohio arrived on the morning Erie train and they with a number of the local members, ware conveyed to the power house on a special car that morning.. The modern equipments and the well arranged car barns and power house were greatly admired by the party after which they returned to the station, where a sumptuous dinner was served by the wives and daughters of the stockholders of the road. The repast over, the board proceeded with business vitally Important to the future of the road, and particularly the extension southward. The advisory board consists of men who are ardent workers In behalf of the corporation, and they are In sympathy with the project of immediately extending the line to Berne. This' of course, was the paramount issue which occupied the attention in Saturday’s meeting. It must be admitted that the promoters of the Fort Waytfe and Springfield road are business men of ability, men who do things and do them right and Decatur and Adams county people can rest assured that the line will soon be extended to Berne If the loyal support of the stockholders and ceaseless work of those Interested is a criterion. Today’s meeting ensued for several hours during which time other business demanding attention was disposed of. i < . ' x John Kule, the man recently arrested and against whom Invanity cha’-gcs were filed is having the most strenuous time of his career Just at present in his efforts to escape the asylum. As the matter stands now he will not know until this morning whether or not he is of sound mind, although he insists he is. However, some of his actions and statements lead others to believe there Is some doubt to the belief, in fact that doubt was strong enough that the board declared him insane. Yesterday Attorney DeVoss appeared for the man and demanded a writ of habeas corpus, which was issued last evening at eight o’clock when the judge returned from out of the city. He was to have had a hearing Saturday, but his .attorney asked for a change of judge and the court appointed the Hon. Levi Mock of Bluffton, to hear the cause apd the case was set for next Thursday morning. After this action the question came up as to whether or not th® sheriff should continue In charge of Kule. The Insanity board in filling out the papers had said that Kule was not dangerous, but it is* said he has threatened various people. With this report, however, the clerk would not issue a warrant forthe Z/ sheriff to hold the man and the general opinion seemed to be that he would have to be released , until Thursday. Kule was very anxious for his liberty, and made promises to the court and the bank officials that he would be good if given n chance. It seems that the haluncination that he had money in the bank grew out of an incident whch occurred several years ago, after he had don® work for W. ft. Niblick. Kule came to town and boarded at a hotel and Mr. Niblick stood good for the board and said that Kule had money at the bank, meaning, of course, the few dollars h® owed him. This fact grew in John’s mind until it has finally reached the proportons of a fortune of $40,000. O' - —■ —— — , "■ The death of Mrs. Henry Schmidt has signaled sorrow in its utmost poignancy to her innumerable friends in the county. After an illness of three weeks she passed peacefully into eternity at ht late home in Freidheim. She was widely beloved, enjoying the loyal friendship of her every acquaintance. Having subjected her tottering form to the Revere coldweather a few weeks ago she contracted an ailment which forced her to her bed from which she has never arisen. Mrs. Schmidt was a food woman. Her fidelity to the Christian cause, her' activity in church circles and. her unquestioned goodness won for her a following of friends in whom she found implicit confidence during her career of eigh-ty-six years. Though of a ripe old age, many have ventured that the estimable woman bid fare to reach the century mark had she not been exposed to the severe weather elements. Surviving beside the bereaved husband to share in ths sore misfortune are three children by a former marriage as follows: Mrs. Schwarts, Freldheim; Mrs. Hoppel, Fort Wayne, and Chartes Behrenti, Indianapolis The funeral Services were held from the Freldheim Lutheran church the cortege leaving the home Sunday afternoon at 2:SO sun tim.e ■ Ww ■■■ihiQ II I »■■*!.mil Ed Luttman is getting along nicely with his mercantile business at Magley, and is showing a strong inclination to like the business as well as his new home.

A maq who came down on the car with them, and who claims to have known both parties, said the * man already had one wife whom he 1 falls to support. H. J. Frtz received papers from . Washington this morning notifying , him that his application for a patent . on an Improved fence brace has been . granted. He will start about the manufacture in a short time. The disj. tinctive features on which the patent has been granted are the tightening t device, operates qn the rim . along the ground instead of the hypot- , enuse of the triangle, on the device i for attaching the brace to the foot of the post, on the plate which rests on t the ground and on the method of attaching the head of the brace to the ! post.—Bluffton News. i The out-of-town relatives and : friends £t the funeral of the late ■ David Eichar, were: Wm.

Levi Mock has been invited to attend an old fiddlers’ contest, which will be held in Tipton within a short time. He received a letter this morning from Joseph Lawson, Indian apolls, who has quite a reputation as < fiddler, asking him to go to Tipton within a short time when the contest will be given. Mr. Mock in his younger days was quite a fiddler and says that he will probably accept the invitation.—Bluffton Banner. Baumgartner Bros, and company, of Berne, are the owners of a White steamer, one of the best cars on the market. The purchase was made in Fort Wayne today, and as they came through this city the car attracted quite a little attention. In the party who were on their way to Berne were William Baumgartner, David Lehman, Eli Luginbill, Grover Baumgartner, and Charles C. Pape. The latter is the agent for the company manufacturing the machine, and is an expert in handling thegi. This makes eight or ten cars now owned by Berne people. Like the tired business man who leaps through his Almanac, and is disappointed, so are we when we find that there is only one half holiday for us this year; that is on Christmas, whidh comes on Saturday, tl.e busiest day of the week. Decoration Day and Foifrth of July come on Sunday. This country has fewer holidays than almost any other. Turkey has forty-five le4 gal holidays. All we have in the United States are enjoyed as a day to rest in as well as celebrate. This year we will have to do that on Sunday. This year is an exceptional one in that respect There are state and other holidays which come on other days, and Thanksgiving day which comes as usual on Thursday. Dr. P. B. Thomas has made some improvements in his office, all otf which adds much to the appearance and the convenience of the same. A front entrance has qlso been made in the Allison block to the Knights of Columbus hall, which occupies the third floor, and this, too, is much a needed improvement Noah Loch is a new conductor on the lines of the Fort Wayae & Springfield railway, and is this week getting broke into the work. He will make the company a valuable employe, and the company was fortunate in securta»hta. I

FOUND THE MISSING PREACHER' Rev. Rand Came to at Macon, Ga., and is Cdming Home. Warsaw, Ind., April 3. —After 'having been wandering among' strangers for a month, the Rev. Albert Rand', the missing Warsaw minister, over whose fate there naa been much concern, has "found himself at Mapon, Ga. He will return in company with Officer Charles Moon, who went there as a friend to seek the missing man. Suffering from a lapse of mem* ory brought on, it is believed, by over study, the Rev. Mr. Rand disappeared from his home here March 4 and no trace could be obtained of his whereabouts by officers who were put on the case at the instigation of his wife. The disappearance case excited the northern part of the state and police departments everywhere were asked to be on the lookout for the missing preacher. It remained for the much wanted man to “wake up” and literally come to himself and this occurred March 28, when he found himself in Macon. He wrote to Mrs. Rand soon afterward. o GRIM FARM SOLD VERY CHEAP Acres Brought Only $5,235. Dore B. Erwin, as commissioner, sold one of the cheapest farms which has been disposed of here for some time, last Saturday, when at the east door of the court house he auctioned the Grim farm, located a half mile north of Monroe. The farm went to Charles Grim for $5,235, about sixtythree dollarq sp acre, there being eighty-six acres in the tract The farm is located along the extension of the traction line, and is a very desirable one. Attorney Griner, of Portland, was a bidder on the farm, but quit because he wanted immediate possession which could not be given. o ■ 11 i — Jury commissioners H. A. Fristoe, of Geneva, and S. B.

There was a meeting at Decatur Saturday of the directors of the Fort Wayne and Springfield Traction company, and they are reported making plans to extend their line to Berne.
