J. B. Stonebumer has opened a stand at the airdome where he will sell refreshments. . iTie boys in charge of the Clover Leaf Commercial Traveler have had so many undesirable experiences in handling emigrants from the Nickel Plate at Continental, that they almost despise to run into that town each night. Tuesday evening a bunch of foreigners, who probably hadn’t been within speaking distance of a bath tub since they left Egypt, boarded No. 5 at Continental, and were headed into the smoking car. In less than ten minutes they had almost the entire car to themselves. A glue factory is a midsummer night’s dream in comparison.—Delphos Herald.

moments after two o’clock Thursday I morning. For months he has been suffering from stomach and bowel] trouble which culminated in the disease taking an acute form about ten days ago. Even then it was not believed that his illness would result fatally, but he cpntlnued to decline notwlthstasdihg the fact that everything that medical science could do toward saving his life was done. On Monday of last week he became much worse ,and both he and his friends realized that the end was not afar off.' He made his will on that day and otherwise prepared himself for the end of his earthly career. His jdeath came peacefully, the suffering ceas; ing during Wednesday and from nine o’clock that evening until the moment of his death he slept peacefully into the unknown world. Mr. Dterkes was born in Gehrde, Hanover county, Germany, January 22, 1857, and was aged

flfty-two years, sig months and seven days at the time of his death. He came to this country about sixteen years ago, shortly after the death of his uncle, Herman Dierkes, who left him considerable iproperty in ,tills section. After a few years,here, he made a business trip to his old country in the Interest of J. M. Frisinger, and while there met Miss Wilhelmina Winner, who returned with him, and to whom he was married November 17, 1896 at Metropolitan, Long Island. After their arrival here they erected a home on the farm which joins the corporation just west of town and have since made their home there. To them have been born four sons and one daughter, all of whom with the wife, remain to mourn their loss. Mr. Derkes was well known here, and was well to do. He was a care- , ful business man and had many . friends. He was down town only a 1 day before his Illness became serious. I The funeral services were held last I Monday afternoon, Rev. J. H. KlausI ing officiating, at the house at 1:80 I and at the Zion Lutheran church corI ner of Eleventh and Monroe streets lat two o’clock. ii' •

.— —fa „0„ .... In Its new home in the Bimel building, completely equipped wtfth new and beautiful furniture, supplied w.ith every possible modern time and labor saving device, every need and comfort of Its patrons foreseen and provided, the Weiler store opened this morning, the finest and most com* plete departmental establishment In Indiana, excepting but one and that in Indianapolis, a city more than fifty times the size of Portland. The "five stores in one," the splendid emporium of pioneer days, from which this mag* nlficent institution grew, deserved its name, but not a single one of the many departments of its mammoth outgrowth would make, in < floor space and stock, more than the "five stores” combined. The store was born on this site in a building called "The Trade Palace” and now for the first time, the spot bears an enterprise that makes the appellation not av misnomer. Two cash systems are in use on the main floor. From the various departments run the bundle carriers, with cash boxes attached, and on the main and second floors and from the basement are the rapid transit air-line boxes. Bundles on the second floor and in the basement are wrapped by the clerks at regularly placed wrapping stations. By the throng that visited the store yesterday the question was often asked "How will the rooms be heated?” Not a heating device is visible, yet a steam plant is all ready for operation. The radiators are neatly tucked beneath the counters out of the way and sight. Each day the floors of the store will be cleaned by the i vacuum process with machines owned by the firm. So thoroughly do these cleaning contrivances do their work that dust will be almost alien. Every i piece of furniture in the K store is filmed quarter-sawed oak, all exactly the same in color and finish. —Portland Sun. _o Rebecca A. Ernst, one of’ Adams : county’s well known and noble wom- ' en, died at her home in Peterson a ; few minutes after four o’clock Thursday afternoon, after a brief illness of one week or less. While she has not been in rugged health for several years, yet she has always been i active for one of her advanced age. I death was caused solely by the i infirmities attendant with old age. : Rebecca A. Steele was born in Penn- < sylvania May 30, 1824, and at the i time of death was eighty-five years, i one month and twenty-eight days old- ■ When a child she moved with her 1 parents to Ashland county, Ohio, and i there grew to womanhood and in 1844 i married John Ernst It was a happy t marriage,especially so until the time of < the civil war, when the husband, vol- f unteered and marched away with his c regiment to defend the honor and glory of hfs country. In the fall of 1863 John Ernst died In battle, and 1 a year later Mrs. Ernst movfed her t family to this county, settling on a s farm hear Peterson, and where she (

Besides these, one I son died here, and two daughter died I in Ashland county, Ohio. Mrs. Ernst I is a sister of John Steele of this city, . Henry Steele of Pleasant Mills', Caro- I line Hartman and Cena Hower of I Peterson. Mrs. Ernst was a strong ] woman, and even in late years kept In touch with the affairs of the day. The funeral was held Friday I afternoon, the funeral cortege leaving the house at one o’clock, the services being held in the Dunkard church a few miles south of Peterson conducted by Rev. Edgar Jones of Tocsin. Interment was made at the cemetery at this church. -O— ’ •• •■ Real estate transfers: William F. Reinklng to Gustave Relnklng, 80 acres in Union township, $8,000; Ada-

Smith a few days ago, with a finding against the defendant, who was assessed a fine of ten dol-,, lars and costs was filed in circuit court, the case having been appealed. Charles Kohler, who has appeared in police court several times during the past few months, was up again before May/jr France, on the same old charge of “plain drunk.” Fearing the consequence of another trial before his honor, he took a change of venue . and the cause was sent to Squire , Smith, who heard the evidence and ’ found the man guilty as charged, as ' sesslng a fine of five dollars and l costs, amounting to $13.80, and Charles went to jail. t ~ ' '■—■■ o ■ Tipton, Ind., July 29.—The methods J of Noah R. Marker, absconding assis- ’ tant cashier cf the First National I ... bank, became apparent today when it

was found that forged papers which [ he had manpulated to cover the* sums of money he had taken from the bank ran back for more than a year, His 1 method of procedure was to make a I matter of record a note in the sum of I |SOO or 11,000, bearing the name of I pome prominent farmer as surety, I aad then to draw the money and use . It for I . personal Investments. These i forged itoa, It was said today .would aggrsfMn |M,OOO, Instead of half that r sum as previously stated, and may i even go higher when the work of ex- ! amination of the books is completed. , National Bank Examiner Miller Weir I began his work this morning, assisted f by John Shirk and the bank employes, . except William H. Marker, the cash- • ier. The work of going over the > books will require several days and the examiner this morning said that [ his report would be made to the con- > troller of the currency and that he i would have to decline to give information as to disclosures until he had i finished his work. A statement that i was made today and which has been , partially confirmed is that the bank made a number of bad loans, one of them being to E. D. Beeler, a business man who commltteed suicide in a hotel 'in Chicago on New-Year’s day of this year. This loan, it was said,was In the sum of $25,000. Beeler’s name has been associated with the bank trouble Plhce the start, although he was not dObnected with the institution in any way. He left two letters for his wife. One inclosed money and the other a statement which his widow would never make public. She is said to have explained that she had had trouble enough and that she would not give the contents of the' letter to make trouble for others. Crawfordsville, Ind., July 29.—The Ramsey Hotel here, which was owned by Noah R. Marker, the absconding assistant cashier of the First National bank of Tipton, was transferred today on the books of the county recorder to Edward T. Teter, an attorney of Tipton. The instrument filed for record named Teter as the trustee and bears the date of May 4 of : this year. The hotel is valued at SSO,- : 000 and the transfer is made subject to a lien of $13,500 held by F. P. Mount, an attorney of this city. o | Councilman Charles Christen and i Fred Vaughn left Thursday for Seattle, Washington, where they will 1 enjoy the great Yukon,Pacific expo- 1 sition in progress in that city.

Means Rosy Cheeks, Clear Complexion, Bright Eyes and Plenty of Energy. What does rich, red blood mean? It means brains, vitality, ambition, hopefulness, persistency and everything worth livings for. But you han’t have rich, red blood, if your digestion is imperfect; and your digestion is certainly imperfect if you have sour stomach, bad taste in mouth, lump of lead after eating, belching of gas and nervous unrest.
