WATCH FOR STRANGE ECLIPSE The strangest eclipse of the sun for over 400 years will be visible in this city June 17; Professor John A. Braeshear, chancellor of the Western University of Pennsylvania, in a signed statement says that the eclipse will be unlike any other eclipse without the knowledge of man.. He says: “The eclipse will be very interesting from the fact that for a few seconds it will be an annular eclipse then change to a total eclipse, then back to an annular eclipse for the second time. The writer cannot find second of such an occurence In any history of astronomy, a'though we have had records of annular eclipses for 400 years and of total eclipses for thousands of years. The eclipse as a partial phase of greater or lesser magnitude will sweep over the North -American continent.”

Samuel Purdy, a former resident of I Decatur,and a brother of Miss Pearl Purdy, was terribly burned Monday morning while doing some repairing at his nome oh west Wiley avenue In Bluffton. Mr. Purdy was taking advantage of the holiday to do some repairing to the roof of the house, and was heating a bucket of pitch ou a stove on the back porch. He allowed the fire to become too hot and the pitch took fire. Sam tried to throw the bucket out in the yard to prevent the house from taking fire, and received a flash of flame on his bare arm. The pain made him jump in such a manner that he spilled a. quantity of the pitch on the arm, inflicting terrible wounds, the burns being so serious that when the pitch was removed the skin came with it. The arm was burned to the bone, and it is feared he will not have the use of that member for many weeks. It may be necessary to graft skin on the arm to make it heal satisfactorily. He was reported better today in letters received from his family by friends, and it may recover more rapidly than at first thought possible. His house took Are .in the excitement and the fire company had to be summoned, but no serious damage was done. —, ;—o Washington, {June 2.—The downward revisionists among the Republicans are pointing out that the country must not get the Impression that the conference committee representing the two houses to which the tariff bill must eventually go can change rates not in disagreement between the two bodies. They say that whatever the good intentions of the president he 'will not be able to force many changes in the bill unless the senate lays the groundwork for a general overhauling of the measure in conference. It Is the hope of the downI ward revisionists to send the bill to conference with a large number of items in disagreement They will thus afford the president an opportunity to accomplish something. It Is evident that the bill will leave the senate with many rates increased over the rates fixed by the house bill. Washington, June 2. —The senate standpatters found themselves so hard pressed today by the senate progressives that they were obliged to fall in line with the program of the progressives. for night sessions of the senate.

I Aldrich in jockeying with the tariff bill for purposes of delay, the Rhode Islandy leader resurrected Senator Hale’s resolution for night sessions which had been slumbering in his aommlttee and himself took the initiative in requesting its adoption. In: doing this he was able to forestall a movement by the progresses to I bring about the adoption of the Hale j resolution. Washington, June 2.—Merrill | Moores, of Indianapolis, who is here on legal business, was among the president’s callers today. Mr. Moores and Mr. Taft were classmates at Yale.

lore veterans than have in the Memorial Day ten years, were at the urch Monday afternoon e splendid address of Dr. veil of Decatur, in comof the bravery and paI inutiHiu ul the boys in blue: It is ! estimated that at least fifty “boys” 1 attended the, services in a body. BeI sides the veterans there was also a I good representation of the Womans Relief Corps and others and the church was well filled. The music for the occasion was furnished by the Four-B’s Quartet and was of the very finest. The audience also joined heartily In two selections. The address by Dr. Powell was considered one of the very best ever given here on a similar occasion. A natural orator, possessed of unusual dramatic ability and excellent diction, his speech thrilled bis entire audience, and as one person remarked it is only to be regretted there were not more of the present generation there to hear it. He showed how the sacrifices of the boys in blue had contributed to the growth of the nation in mordl, commercial and spiritual ways and emphasized our debt of gratitude to them, for saving our nation from falling into a lot of petty states constantly quarreling and bickering. He recalled the prophesy of the great English statesman, John Bright, who declared in parliament during the years of the war that if the northern and southern states could adjust their differences and become reconciled they would form a nation in forty yean without whose consent no other nation would dare fire a gun. The literal fulfillment of this prophecy was pointed out Dr. Powell then launched into a powerful description of the bloody battle of Franklin, and those who were present at the fight declared it was the most graphic and striking description they had ever listened to. The portrayal of that terrible fight took twenty minutes to detail, and afforded fine opportunity for the unusual dramatic and oratorical talents of the speaker. —Columbia City Mail. — —o — Many Children are Sickly Mother Gray’s Sweet Powders for Children, used by Mother Gray, a nurse in Children’s Home, New York, break up Colds in 24 hours, cure Feverishness, Headache, Stomach Troubles, Teething Disorders and Destroy Worms.
