Washington, October 28—Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, who is in Washtagton for the first time since the new tariff law was enacted, deprecates the report that the United States will soon find itself in a tariff war with France and Germany and perhaps Canada. “I have no doubt an amicable adjustment will be reached,” said he, “and I am also convinced that the new tariff law, providing for a maximum and minimum rate, gives this country an opportunity to obtain from France far greater concessions than we have had in the past. When this question of maximum and minimum tariff was first take-up in congress Its opponents began to cry that there would be tariff wars, as an immediate result of its adoption, among all the nations of the earth. But I tell you there are too many of the nations that have such a tariff. The inclination toward such a law is becoming stronger even in Great Britain the home of free trade for these many years. We are in a far better position to barter with other governments than we were before this la# was enacted. The McKinley and Dingley laws gave us some leeway, and much was done in the line of bettering trade arrangements under these laws. But now we have even a wider scope.” Mr. Payne’s attention Was called to the suggestion made iln the Canadian press that the tariff law would be modified by congress at the coming session, where it touched the duties on paper and wood pulp. “Maybe they think they can legislate for us .up there,” said Mr. Payne, “but I do * not beltteve that the law will be changed by the present congress. The president has said that the country Is done with tariff making for a time.” It was suggested to Mr. Payne that the new tariff board might, in the future, make recommendations to the president which would lead to presidential messages to congress suggesting changes in the tariff schedules. “The new tariff board was appointed under the new law which authorises such a commission to aid the president in carrying out the maximum and minimum provisions of the law. It may decide to make recommendations to make changes ta the tariff schedules, but that was not provided for in the law,” he said. Mr. Payne has an impression that President Taft win appoint the members of the customs court provided for in the tariff bill soon after congress meets. He says he does not believe ■ serious attempt will be made by members of congress to hold up the appropriation for such a court ' ■BttBaBSHBSSSfHHSBSESSHSHHSHSeBS WW the public sag about ®ur Teas if (bjjees is all IW advertising we want, Evenj tmdtj uangow Ceffeecomw ick tor more, ana tell their t neighbors about it as well* We leave it with the ladies io sou how easg it is to get up cm jrder jorus because our is good.

Knapke, lot 41, Decatur, $230. • — o— — With great big tears trickling down his cheeks Rev. McCarty, of Portland, declared Tuesday in giving his depositions in the suit against his former wife, that the $2,500 sued for did not come anywhere near being the amount that he had been damaged. He said that the newspapers had maligned him to such an extent that SIO,OOO would not be sufflclent to heal hfe wounds. Rev. McCarty was corralled Tuesday by Eichhorn & Vaughs, attorneys for his former wife, and made to give his depositions. His demeanor while givftag his test!- • mony was that of an ndividual who has been greatly wronged. He said that since his former wife filed a suit for divorce he has been a special mark of the newspapers, which have appeared to gloat over the chance to write him up. Os the $2,500 nearly $1,500 is claimed by the reverend to be due him by the terms of the antinuptial contract, while SBOO he claims is due him for salary he would have gotten as a minister had be not listened to his wife during their married life and refused to take a charge. —Bluffton Banner. b—LOOK FOR YOUTHFUL ROBBERS Two Boys Going Through the Country Helping Themselves. Local police were notified today by Sheriff Meyer of Decatur, to be on the lookout for two boys about eighteen years of age, who claim their home is in Ohio. The boys have been working for several farmers along the route of travel and every place they take a. position the farmer misses some article about the premises after their departure at night. Some of the men have suffered severe losses at the hands of the boys and every means is being taken to head them off. The last heard of them was near Peterson, where they robbed a farm home at night. They were then headed toward Wells county and are expected to put up an appearance here within a short time. The police will be on the lookout for them and upon sight they will be arrested.—Bluffton Banner. o I Following a very pleasant session at the Modern Woodmen haU last Wednesday an auxiliary organization was made and which will be known as The Hustling Knights of Woodcraft. It is a social order and it is expected that the order will grow from the twenty charter members until it will embrace practically the entire membership. Their meeting, nights will be every Wednesday and the boys are already looking forward to fun galore durtag the coming win; ter nights. The Woodmen in Decatur have shown a wonderful growth since their organization, and are now one of the strong secret orders of the city. Their insurance plan is a practical one, and as a business proposition should appeal to any one who ,| has a family dependent upon him for support Aside from thi> they are an o. k. lot of fellows, and deserve all the good luck they are baying.

F.’ Burkhead Thursday saying that she < had died some time that morning. Mrs. Everett was a resident of thia city until about six months ago, when she and her husband moved to Kalamazoo, Mich., wjiere they have since resided. She had been afflicted with the dread dtaease of dropsy, and was a sufferer of it all summer. About a week ago she and her husband left for Redkey to make a visit with her sister, Mrs. Daniel York, where she took suddenly worse and the call of death came this morning. About seven years ago she was united in marriage to Mr. Michael Everett also of this city,'arid was but twenty-four

years of age, and had been a loving wife and made friends wherever she went, and her husband and other relatives are grief stricken over the 'sad misfortune.

Meyer and Margaretha nee Mueller reared him in the fear of the Lord. In having heard of the wonderttl prospects in the U. S. of America for thrifty farmers, his parents immigrated, and came to Wayne Co., Ohio. There they remained but one year. Moving fanner west they came to Adams county, na., and settled on a farm rather in a woods, near Newville or Vera Cruz. He with his parents now entered upon true pioneer work with enduring zeal. Since at this time, 'schools and churches were “few and far between;” he occasionally went to Fort Wayne to. receive religious instructions. In the year of 1851 he married Maria Klopfenstein, and thta union was blessed with eleven children,. He and his noble wife shared joy and sorrow together for many a year, but In 1861 a dark cloud, casting a dismal shadow, hovered over the home, and threatgrid their felfcity. War was raging between the north and the south and when the great cause needed men, he and two of his brothers turned from their homes to take rip arms arid fight for the union of the states and the emancipation of the slaves. After the decease of his beloved Witte, Mhy 11, 1888, he sold his farm and moved to another near Decatur. Xfce fcbvrever compelled hftnto retire from active life. For several years Ke made his home with his daughter, no# Mfs'. J. Glancy, of Decatur. Some time before his demise jhe (returned to Vera Cruz, to visit with another daughter, Mrs. Jonathan Baumgartner. Here an old malady of his, broke out with new force, and after a few weeks of suffering his soul took flight. Death came on the 23rd of October, 1909, and closed his career for this world. He was a charter and ever remained a loyal member of the German ' Reformed church of Vera Cruz.: With patience he bore his sufferings, but longed to join dear one gon# before into the other world. He attained unto the age of 82 years, 7 months and 11 days. His wife and one child preceded him into eternity. Five sons, five daughters, thirty-six grand- . children, ten great grandchildren, one brother Peter Meyer a large number of other relatives and friends remain to mourn his departure. o— — This city will have a large number of handsome automobiles next season, as a number of orders have already been given and more intend purchasing.
