The Washington township Sunday school convention held in this city Sunday proved to be one of the most pleasant occasions of the kind ever held in the city. In the afternoon the program was carried out at the German Reformed church, the principal addresses being given by Rev. Imler and Jesse Rupp, the latter being president of the Adanls County Sunday School Association. Both addresses were good and were appreciated by those in attendance. = The evening session was at the Presbyterian church and a much larger membership were present and there, too, the exercises were interesting, especially to those en-

gaged in Sunday school work. The principal address of the evening was by Rev. Powell and the other features of the program were all thoroughly enjoyed. Much Interest and new life has been engendered into the Sunday schools of the county by the county organization, who have I been exceedingly Industrious during the last year or two. ' ’■ , — q - C. B. Schmuck, who conducted a picture show here for two years, had a touch of trouble at Auburn a day or two ago, the story being told in the Courier as follows: €. fi. Schmuck, proprietor of the Lyric theater, found himself in an

-embarrassing predicament Thursday when a representative of a Chicago film exchange company, accompanied by the Auburn constable, appeared at < his place of business and demanded < a film of a war scene-which Mr. : Schmuck had advertised extensively i over the city. The Chicago man se- i cured a writ of attachment for the ■ film. He stated while here that Mr. i Schmuck and several other proprietors of moving picture theaters in : this vicinity had been using the fl’ms for one rental and that at times the films wouiid not be returned to the house for two weeks, being passed around among those who had combined. The film in question was traced to Auburn. A summons was read to Schmuck for his appearance in ’Squire Green’s court next Monday to answer to a damage suit, but subsequently the matter was settled. J. B. Verhoever, attorney for the M. & N. P. Picture Association, of Chicago, was here for several days doing detective work relative to the matter and was assisted by Attorney P. V. Hoffman, of Auburn. Schmuck it is said, has been showing licensed pictures in a non-licensed house and this will not be tolerated hereafter.

Os course there are some who are all right, but it looks as though they were the exception. The latest to j get into trouble is R. L. Ormsby,who came here from Indianapolis, about a year ago and sold the new No. 10 Smith-Ptemler and also placed a number of the old style at a reduced price. He located headquarters at Fort Wayne, where he remained for a few months, when he reported to the police that a machine had been stolen from his office. His company got wise and the young man ( was let out. Now word comes from Saginaw, Michigan that he is in real serious trouble. When he was here he had with him a young lady whom he presented as his wife, but in Michigan he seems to have traveled single. A ’dispatch says: Saginaw, Mich., Oct 10. —R. L. Ormsby, a dashing young man from Fort Wayne, Ind., who made a brief hit as a social character In Saginaw last summer and was exceedingly popular with the fair sex, disappeared a month ago short in his accounts it Is alleged, with the Royal Typewriter company, of Detroit which he represented locally. The police tracked him to Indiana and Chief Kain has Just received word that Ormsby has been captured in Indianapolis and will return without extradition to face an embezzlement charge which the company has brought against him. He is accused of embezzling and it is said typewriter customers here also haye claims against hint While here Ormsby boarded at the Vincent hotel and generally made his evening sally in high hat, pearl gloves, patent leathers and a cane.

i QUITE A REAL ESTATE DEAL I W. J. Dustman Trades His North | Dakota Farm. Hale & Markley today turned the largest farm deals ever made in Wells county at qne time, in which they sold to William J. Dustman, (county treasurer of Wells county, three $f Wells county’s best improvJed and finest farms, being the Odus, ! Elmer 1 L. and Charles W. Hastings farms of 100 acres, four miles southeast of Bluffton,’and 160 acres and 120 acres seven miles northwest of Bluffton, at and for the aggregate sum of $37,950; and selling to Odus, Elmer L. and Charles W. Hastings the William J. Dustman 620 acre farm at Hannaford. N. D., at and for the sum of $37,200, which farm is said to be absolutely one of the very finest and best farms in North Dakota, and known all over the coufiItry in which it is located as a high 'class farm, and one of the best improved farms and most beautiful homes in the state, and In fact a banner farm. —Bluffton Banner. ft’ . ' - I — oIndianapolis, Oct 11.—The lines are being formed for a battle royal within the Democratic ranks in Indiana, which may have an epochal significance in the annals of that party. The issues have been Joined so quietly that the general public has hardly been aware ot the pending struggle, but the indications are that the warfare will soon become acute and the lines of demarcation sharply drawn. In a nutshell the situation is this: Governor Marshall has accepted the leadership of an element of the Democratic party in Indiana

that the party in its tlon next spring shall tionary stand on the Hbut shall omit any de-1 iging the party to the ] a county option statute | j battle on the twin is - ! iriff and extravagance in ministration. Literally J is the bone of contene battle lines cover a much broader field. -Governor Marshall represents an element of the party which chafes under the-su-premacy that Thomas Taggart andhis brewery allies have long exercised over the Democracy of Indiana. It has galled the governor to hear the Democracy in this state spoken of as “the whiskey party’’ and “the beer party.” He has had no open quarrel with Taggart and the brewers, but for months it has been increasingly apparent that there was a widening breach between them. The governor would not, if he could, make the Indiana Democracy an annex of the Auti-Saloon League but he does believe thoroughly in law enforcement and he has a deep and abiding conviction that the brewers should keep their fingers out of politics.

Pointers on Poultry. Mrs. D. A. Brooks, Sturgis, Ky., says: **l have been using Bourbon Poultry Cure and think it is the best poultry remedy I have over used. If you will get our drugget here to handle it I can recommend It I am an old hand at raising chickens and so many come to me for pointers on poultry. Sold by H. H. Bremerkamp. J. M. Zion the Indiana apple king, and a man who devotes much time to horitlculture ,was here for a short time Monday, his mission being business one. At present he is selling to the trade his pure cider vinegar, and one of his cards is that in 1906 he made and sold seven thousand gallons, all natural apple vinegar. Mr. Zion owns a 320 acre farm at Clark’s Hill, fifty acres of which is orchard. In 1904 he received a gold medal for his apple exhibit at the St. Louis fair, he having there one hundred and twenty-three varieties, the largest apple measuring nineteen inches in circumference. Some of our people will perhaps remember Mr. Zion as being the candidate for governor on the ticket put out In this state by the Independence league, and during the canvass made this city on his automobile trip through the state. Mr. Zion is deeply interested in horticulture and in having needed legislation for its improvement and betterment. He is quite an entertaining talker and doubtless understands the many* theories of successful horticulture, and expects some time to see the state government take up the subject in a legislative way. —— -o— Her* Is RelM for Wernen.

in this State.

Is the use of the voting machine in Fort Wayne and in Hooslerdom generally in danger of being tabooed? That is a question that has suggested itself recently to a number of local attorneys as a result of a recent decision of the Ohio supreme court, in which it holds that the use of these machines is unconstitutional. Its decision is based upon that clause of the constitution which provides that all elections shall be by ballot. The use of the voting machine, it asserts very emphatically, does not comply with this constitutional provision. The Indiana constitution contains exactly the same provision and almost every local attorney whose attention has been called to the case admits that while such a contingency would be regrettable, any pestiferous individual who felt so inclined might be able to "start things," not only in the way of knocking out the use of the machines, but in contesting the election of candidates who had been named for office in an election in which the machines were used.— Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o— — ' A Cure For Gapes.

Briggs, members of the Bluffton, Geneva and Celina Traction company, who went to Marion yesterday to make 4 trip on the motor cars in use on the Clover Leaf express themselves as highly pleased with the showing made by the car, which is something after the pattern to bo used on the new line out of this city to the east. MJr. Justus said this morning that they made 53 miles in the motor car in one hour and 45 minutes, or at the rate of about 30 miles an hour and this included a stop to wait a few minutes for another train at Kokomo. Mr. Justus says that the cars undoubtedly will prove a great success on the purely traction line, where there will be no steam trains to conflict The new cars to be used on the BlufftonGeneva line are also to be of a later and better style than the one in use on the Clover Leaf. The _local traction company is buying the latest pattern cars. —Bluffton News. — 0 BANS ARE PUBLISHED The bans of matrimony were published Sunday for the first time at St Marys church between Miss Annetta Hackman and William Bogner.

BELL CAUGHT GOOD ONE Brought Home a Monster Pickerel That Defeated Charles Colter’s. Alex Bell is happy, in fact he is the best feeling fisherman we have struck this season. A few days ago Charles Colter of the Smith & Bell company was taking up some lumber at Pleasant Lake, and having an hour or two to spare, went fishing in Mud Lake. He captured a twelve pound pickerel, and a beauty, too. To prove it be brought it home and the other men around the Smith & Bell office have had no peace since, Charlie insists on telling them his catch whenever they are together. Saturday Mr, Bell happened to strike Pleasant Lake and also decided to try the famous Mud lake. He fished all afternoon with poor success and 1

was within a hundred feet ot his landing place ready to give it up, when he got a strike that made him set up and take notice. After a half hour’s battle he landed a whopper pickerel that actually weighed thirteen pounds and a quarter. He • brought the fish home and now it’s all off with Charlie and A. R. is doing the blowing. It’s A. J.’s turn next and you might as well get ready for a good one. t o HAS EIGHTY TURKEYS.
