The attendance at the old settlers’ meeting to the Long grove, midway betwen Berne and Geneva Sunday, was not large, but those who were there had a pleasant time, and it was a most enjoyable meeting of the old timers and others living in southern Adams and the northern part of Jay county. Among the speakers were the Hon. Clark J. Lutz of this city, and Judge Richard K. Erwin of Fort Wayne, they making the trip from here in the True automobile, returning to this city about six o’clock last evening. Many of those in attendance made it a day of pleasure by going to the grove to the morn-, Ing and spending the day, having a picnic dinner at the noon hour. All the speakers spoke to a happy and reminiscent vein, some of them relating incidents occurring many years ago, all of which helped to make the day a pleasant and profitable one. kelson Bricker, who had the arrangements in hand, was the busiest to the lot Sunday, and he succeeded to making every one present have a good time. i —-o Mesdames J.

Stoneburner, Joseph Andrews and Misses Ada Barnett and Lusa Stoneburner, returned Monday fronj East St Louis, where they were at the bedside of Mrs. Harry Fowler, formerly Delota Beery, who for several weeks has hovered between life and death as a result of a serious siege of typhoid fever. Mrs. Fow’er it will be remembered, was the victim of violent hemorrhages and the physician at one time gave up an hope for her recovery. She passed the crisis, however, and has since gained slightly although she is not out of danger. Last Friday her neck became so swollen that it was feared blood poisoning had set in, but£ close diagnosis proved this not to be the case.

•BITTERLY OPPOSED TO THE TAX dSi so bj.-uiS .u-iiL.k’w ’i'/.is>irt Indianapolis Hao No Use for the Corporation Tax. s.lll Washington, July 26.—From Indiana there has comb a veritable deluge of objections to the tax oh the net incomes of corporations. It is an interesting and perhaps significant fact that the gigantic corporations of the country, particularly the. trusts, are urging no ■criticism’ of this contemplated tax. This has given rise to a belief that the high financiers, who operate through these enormously capitalized concerns, see away of juggling their accounts changing their methods of bookkeeping that will enable them to escape a large share, if not all, of the tax. The objections come from state like Indiana, where corporations do an .honest business in an honest way and jugglery and deception in corporate management are not known except in rare instances. " ' ■■ O i IN INTEREST OF POOL SELLERS Montpelier Races Were Run for the Gamblers. Bluffton people who attended the Montpelier races Friday came home with a big howl against the manner in which the races were conduced and declare that the events were run for the benefit bf pool-sellers. Moreover that the pool-sellers made no bones about their operations, but openly operated in the presence of the entire grandstand and the officers, and further they claim the races were plainly miscalled. One horse owner became eo angry at the manner to which the free-for-all was conducted that he . drew his horse out, and refused tofoM, turn ft under threats of*betog suspended, and finally was suspended for the season and fined 3100. He declared he would contest the race. If the kicks are well-founded and they are made by reputable persons here, ft means a blackeye for Montpelier . to future races.—Bluffton Banner. ■ libifA < o ■ ■ —. LIFE 100,000 YEARB AGO.

Mr. Coulter who has lived in Decatur for some time, went to Brookville severaT Wtieks ago to attend to some business where he was married. The wedding was quite a surprise, ah his friends here did not think It would; occur so soon. The event occurred in Brookville, the home of the bride at the Methodfet parsonage, RtiV.< Fisher performing the ceremony. The bride was Miss Lillie Hunsinger,' daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Hunsinger and a very popular girl of that place. The groom has lived here for some time, and his residence here will continue at 242 N. Sixth street, where Mr. Coulter and bride are already living. The groom is representing the RaWleigh Medical company, of Freeport, and has been quite successful during his residence in the city. ; Mr. and Mrs. C. A.

Noah Marker, as- ■ slstant cashier of the First National ; bank of this city, has tUtabpeared and investigation shows that more than fifty thousand dollars besides the money on hand at the close of business Saturday evening is misstag. The bank is temporarily closed. The bank examiner visited the bank Friday and found the embezzlement, . which was a clever manipulation of the books, and it was an easy matter, to trace the embezzlement to the absconding bank official. The First Na- , tional is one of the strongest banks of the state, with a capital of one million dollars.

The weather was ideal and it certainly looked as though the feat should he accomplished to a perfect manner, but It was not to be. At the hpur mentioned, Miss Hazel Wright was to her place on the trapzee and the signal was given to let ’er go. /The balloon started upward with good speed but just as the aeronaut. had reached a height of about three feet the parachute broke loose and she was thrown to the ground, bruising one while the balloon sailed oh heavenward With nothing to balance it After rising to a height of about three hundred feet, the bag overturned and descended at a spot not more than twenty feet from where it started. The management of the park had a contract with the balloonist that they must make a real ascension to get the money and will hold them to it. Miss Wright and her manager insist it was not their fault and tried to get ready for another ascension, but could not because one of* the poles had broken and it Was finally decided so make tae ascension Sunday afternoon four o’clock. The fire fiend has been quite busy here since Saturday afternoon, starting with the destruction of the big Niblick elevator, but nonetof the other fires have proven disastrous. Sunday morning the alarm wks turned in from the house owned by John Coffee, corner of Madlsdn and Tdnth streets and occupied by Chill Orator, but the blase was out before the fire company arrived there. The loss was small. At the same time a fire occurred at the Henry Knapp machine store on Monroe street, starting under a desk and was burning quite briskly when discovered by Mr. Badders. It was soon extinguished by ffieani of a few buckets of water. z Saturday afternoon while foe elevator flfo was in progress, tha; peanut and popcorn machine of T. O. Corbett/ standing in fitont W ills dM stofo on Second street caught fire asd MM««ed Timothy some About half as how. Tlje machine was saved/ but the stock iff peanuts was depleted. „ ms- ! The Niblick elevator oputinuod to burn nearly all of Sunday, the smojdering timbers, nnd grata springing fate a blaze several times during foe day and it was necessary to turn the ■water on. The Rus was about as stated in Saturday’s paper, reaching close to 18,000, and if the building was to be built now and placed fa as good condition for operating as it was, tite loss would perhaps be 310,000. The grata lose included 300 bushels of wheat 165 “bushels of clover seed, 80 bushels of rye, some oats and quite a tot of corn. Mr. John Niblick said this morning that nothing had been done as yet toward rebuilding and the matter will not be decided for several days or a week. Several parties are desirous otbuylng the ground to build, an elevator, and Niblicks who own it may decide to sell, or they may decide to rebuild. It is however,, practically certain that a new and modern elevator will be erected by some one where the old one stood. 11 " O' NO AFFIDAVITS FILED The Bluffton Antis Spent Good Money for Nothing.
