A—- — Lake City, Utah, Mg. 10.-The first day of the forty-third national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic found 20,000 veterans and visitors quartered in tide city with ..the prospect of having their number L Increased to 50,000 by Wednesday. r Drum and fife corps pradaded the streets and at the various headquarters bands furnished martial music. Os the fourteen past commanders in chief now living five are in attendance. They are Gen. S.. S. Burdett of Washington, D. C.; Eli Torrence of Minner apolis> Minn.; John R. King of Baltimore, Corporal James Tanner of Washington D C and Grn Charles

3 Nevlus and staff was given by the 1 Woman’s Relief Corps tonight Three • thousand guests were present. Camp--3 fires were addressed by Commander I in Chief Nevius, Senior' Vice Commanr der in Chief J. Kent Hamilton, Past , Commanders in, Chief Charles G. Bur- > ton and Eli Torrance, Mrs. Mary E i GMlmjan, national president of the ' Woman’s Relief Corps, and Genevieve ! Longfleld Lane, national president of , the Ladles of the G. A. R. The poli- • tlcal side of the encampment was made prominent through the opening of headquarters of the rival claimants for honors. The fight between St Louis and Atlantic City for the en- 1 campment of 1910 is to be warmly 1 contested Denver is urging its ad- ’

vantage# for the 1911 encampment. The result probably rests with the delegation from New York, Penney!- 1 vanla and Ohio. For commander In i chief former Governor Van Santos 1 Mlneeota and W. L. Ketcham of In- i dlanapolls continue to be the active 1 candidates. Friends of L. T. Dicker- i son oT ininois urged him to Seek the i honor, but he declined. In consequent 1 a sentiment in his behalf for 1911 l is being developed. Evnry state of . the late confederacy has a delegation i here. Between them, Louisiana and 1 Mississippi have mustered about sis- i teen veterans. Texas send twenty. Georgia has furnished they largest I delegation from the far south. _ —, —o ■ ' A deal was closed Monday after- , noon the terms of which convey the ownership of the Johnson Brothers general merchandise store at Monroe to Messrs. Lehman and Sprunger, two hustling young men of Berne. Since last March negotiations have been unIder way for this transaction and several days ago the invoice began preparatory to the purchase. That part of the work was completed yesterday | afternoon and a contract was immeI diately drawn up binding the parties to the sale Lehman and Sprunger ! have’ how assumed 1 control of the store and they expect to do all in their power to please the patrons. A Jieavy stock was carried by Johnson 1 Brothers; it representing the expen- \ dlture of about $7,000 at the time of the sale. W. B. Johnson, one 'of the retiring proprietors has been offered a good position as a traveling salesman, but has declined and he will i remove the postoffice to another building soon, where he will devote his I tlffie to the government service. He will enjoy a much neded rest before] engaging into some other business, j ■ Six new homes have been built in I Monroe during the summer and they I are beauties. ■ z I The new residence of James A. I Hendricks is about ready for qccuI pancy and it is modern in every reI spect. I The new cement block house be-. I longing to A. B. Bailey is rapidly ■ nearing completion. I Everything is on the hustle at MonI roe, and the citizens are more than I pleased with the business being done I there. I o I The races will be one of the great I features of the Great Northern InI diana fair and those in whose charge I .this part of the program lies have I left nothing undone which would tend to make the race program the best ever pulled off in Adams county. There have already been a large number of entries in the different races and the horses entered are of the high class order assuring the lovers of the popular sport a most interesting time. The purses are good ones and the drivers will go for the money with all the goods they have. The race program is as follows; i Wednesday, August 26th 2:24 Trot, 3 in 5 Purse, S3OO 2:18 Pace, 3 in. 5..... Purse, 300 I Five-eighths mile run....

I ‘ A merry war is on at Craigville be 4 I tween the two restaurants, the one L which was recently started by Orville I Brentlinger, and the old resiaurant, I which is run by Adam Richey. At I present Richey is the only person who I has cut the prices, but a cut is exI pected within a short time. When I Brentlinger started a restaurant in I connection with his meat market Mr. I Richey Immediately started to cut the I prices. Mr. Richey has been the only | »hash slinger in that little town for I years and he did not like the idea of [ .some.one else getting in on his territory. As a result now a cup of coffee can be purchased for three cents and 1 a sandwich or a piece of pie for the ' same amount As much ice cream as 1 can be eaten can be purchased for five > cents—Bluffton Banner. • , Geneva, Indiana, August 10.—(Special to the Daily Democrat) ; Good, Gilbert Fisher and Stot Hollingsworth have flew the coop and are in reality fugitives from justice and the law. The two' former some ilme 1 ago purchased a horse and was lucky < enough to get William Messel to go on the note as security. The note was not paid and of course Mr. Messel will have to pay the fiddler for 1 being a good fellow. Tn addition 1 Fisher stuck about all the business ’ 1 men in Geneva who would stand for 1 his gaff and stand him off, besides i tys fie was hot on the scent for some t

money which he no doubt borrowed, ■ but if so the one who made the loan I is game enough to "keep the matter I under his hat bancL she three went I to Winchester a week ago, where they I sold the horse and skiddoed properly, I nothing having been heard from them I since that time. Good is a married I man and leaves a wife an done child here to shuffle for themselves? and the shuffling isn’t very good either. All three were oil workers and made good wages, and there was no excuse for them to be other than on the square. ! o ; Rome City, Ind., Aug. 10.—Crying frantically for help and before the eyes of four fellow comrades, Verne Jones, aged eighteen, was drowned in sixteen feet of water at 2:30 o’clock here yesterday afternoon. Young Jones and four comrades, all of Fort Wayne, came here yesterday morning,, to spend a short vacation and were/ arranging to return to FOrt Wayne when the accident happened. The young men were engaged in throwing balls into the water and diving in after them when Jones was seized with cramps and sank before he could assist himself. His comrades, all of whom are good swimmers, made a heroic effort to rescue him, but their efforts were fruitless. Twice he went to the bottom of the lake and rose to the surface, each time grasping frantically at straws and sticks which were floating on the top. Seeing what had befallen their companion, the rest of the boys gave the alarm-and work was immediately commenced to recover the body, which was found barely five minutes later within a few I feet from where he was seen to go down. The drowning of young Jones 1 has cast a gloom over the resorters > | now at the lakes, as he was well and I familiarly known to a great many here. Not long ago, according to 1 those who were with him, he was r graduated from the public schools at Monroeville and then accepted a position with his brother. Els compan- • ions are grief stricken, although they ' were nearly prostrated in the heroic ’ effort they made to save his life. The unfortunate youth was several rods from the shore when he sank, which - made it impossible for assistance to r arrive in time to do him much good. During he time he lived in Fort Wayne he resided at 421 east Jefferson ■ street. i .. o 3 Smith & Ulman, and that is Hone other than A. J. Smith and Victor Ul- (. man, Monday shipped their show herd . of fourteen Herefords to the Henry s county fair at New Castle. Next week , they go to the Delaware county fair, j then home for the Great Northern, t from here to Portland and then likely > they will go to the state fair at Inf dianapolis. Their herd is about the 3 prettiest picture one would care to s see, and they deserve to win some of . the first premiums that are hung up . for this show. These gentlemen have j been getting into the Hereford cattle i business, and it is no joke, to say > they have some of the best that stands on four feet—or any other number of feet. They are selling them and > this means that they are becoming ) known to the Hereford trade. It us- ) ually takes more years than one cares to give to get into the swim in this > business, but these gentlemen are > now beginning on the harvest that i comes with being known as raising the best that money can buy. Aside , > from the money that they can and ; do make, they take an unpardonable ; pride in these beautiful specimens of cattle. j— Q HAVING THEIR TROUBLES I - The Antl-Saloon League Want Some More Law. ( Indianapolis, Aug. 10— Among the , numerous plans the Anti-Saloon Lea- ; gue has in min dfor furthering temi perance reform in the state is one providing for a bill to be introduced in the next session of the legislature to regulate, or to stpp the shipment of liquor from “wet” territory in the state into counties that have been ' voted "dry.” The plan has not ad- 1 vanced beyond the early formative ! stage, and will probably be greatly ' modified from its present shape t be- < fore it is submitted for Introduction. < One of the difficulties now confronting < the temperance reform workers tn « "dry” territory is the shipment of 1 1 beer and 'whisky to consumers, drug- t gists and members of social clubs in J “dry” territory. Attempts have been I made to stop the practice by court ac- j tion, but according to decisions there f is no law-to keep a consumer in any t part of the state from buying intox- 1 icants in a "wet” county and having I them shipped to him, or to a specified t consignee in “dry” territory. 4J— The Sunday school class of th«. United Brethren church of which f Howard Wlsehaupt is the leader, are holding a pichic at Stele’s park today. They all met at the home of Mr. Wlsehaupt, and with their baskets filled ii with lots of good things to eat left c this morning for a day of pleasure. b

Word Sunday was to the effect that the end was expected within; the following forty eight hours. Rev.
