Wolf, 20 acres, Root tp., |1500.; Pv*" ——— A case is just being closed in the Adams circuit court that brings to mind/ the booming, golden days of the opening of the oil field in south' ern Adams county, fifteen or more years ago—the days . that were so promising, and brought into the world of those Interested therein, bright glittering bubbles that burst while yet suspended from the pipe that brought such glorious dreams, leaving in their •wake only the froth of the shattered air castles, ruined fortunes or physical wrecks. Such is the case of William Cummins, an elderly gentleman, and his daughter, Miss Lizzie, an elderly maiden lady. At that time Mr. Cummins lived with his family near Tiffin, Ohio, and was quite well-to-do in this world’s goods. He owned a large amount of real estate In Ohio and also ninety-three acres of good land in Blue Creek township, this County. His daughter, Miss Lizzie, became interested in the oil boom, which was just then started in the south part of this county, near Geneva, and during the course of her 1 business operations often visited here ’ |vhere she is quite well known, sev--1 feral prominent business parties of this city being interested with her in the oil business in the south. Her father also became Interested with her ' In the opening of several oil wells, ’ which gushed forth promisingly for ’ several weeks and then suddenly ! ceased", leaving nothing but the sunk- ! en gold which had turned to lead, more worthless than nothing. The entire fortune of the Cummins had been used in drilling dll wells that proved I to be worthless, and the old gentleman so brooded over his loss that he , is now in an insane asylum, and his • business interests are in the hands ’ of a guardian, the guardiashlp having i been in the Adams circuit court since [ June, 1905. To defray the expenses • of the wlll-o’-the-Wisp promises of the > oil field operations the real estate in ■ Adams county had ben heavily mortgaged to the Mortgage Trust Company of Pennsylvania for over $16,000, which is said to. be a third more than the property is worth, and the realty in Ohio, is mortgaged to the National bank of Tiffin, Ohio. Bankruptcy proceedings were be- . gun and all the common creditors have agreed to take twenty per cent of their claims, and among the many losers will be many Adams county folks. At least one bank in Ohio will be a heavy loser in the deaj. The matters have been adjusted and the closing of the case is near. The real estate will be taken over by the City National bank of Tiffin, Ohio. The members of the firm of Atorneys Peterson & Moran are both interested in the case, but as individuals. Before the merging of their interests as partners, Shafer Peterson served as attorney for the guardian of Mr. Cummins, and J. O. Moran represented the bank, and after the forming of the partnership of Peterson & Moran, the members of the firm still kept the matters separate. By the bankruptcy proceedings, a small portion of the property was saved —enouga to give Miss Lizzie and the others of the family a home—all that was left of one of the many fortunes sunk in the oil region of southern Adams county. j — o r—at NAPOLEON’S TOMB.

James Archbold and Mrs. Thomas Kepi were quite badly hurt about 2: 30 o’clock Thursday when thfe horse they were driving to this city shied at an automobile, ran into a ditch and overturned the buggy. The accident happened near the Geo.Zimmerman farm, just east of town. The automobile was driven by A. J. 1 Moser of Berne, a very careful driv- ’ er, and who is in no way held to • blame. Mr. Archbold says the horse - has a habit of jumping when it sees an auto, though it does not seem to be particularly afraid of a machine. • This afternoon, when they met the Moser car, the horse jumped sideways, and aa stated, overturned the ‘ buggy. Mrs. Archbold was badly - bruised about the face and was un- • conscious for half an hour. Mr. ArchL bold received a sprained arm and a 1 bad cut on the head, while Mrs. Kern ■ escaped with slight bruises. Mr. Mo--1 ser placed the injured people in his 1 machine and hastened them to Drs. 1 Clark’s office in this city, where the ’ Injuries were dressed. It is not be- ! lleved the results will be serious. I — p ’ CANADIAN “SEVENTEEN O’CLOCK” r ’ ■ - I - J. S. Sutton, who recently returned fronT’Canada, explains the use of the numerals up to twenty-four seen so frequently on a watch. In Canada the 1 time is reckoned by hours up \to, 1 twenty-four. The first hour begins just after midnight and runs on as here until the twelfth hour —nooh the ! next day. Then 1 o’clock in the afternoon as reckoned here, is called thirteen o’clock in that section of Canada, and two o’clock here would . be fourteen o’clock —and so on, the twelfth hour at midnight here being caljed the twenty-fourth hour according to Canadian reckoning of time. All the time tables and train bulletins are run on this time, instead of the bulletin saying that a train leaves at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, the notation would be that the train leaves at “seventeen o’clock.”. It is a simple way of reckoning the day at the usual twenty-four hours instead of twelve hours. — o : — Mann & Christen have received notice from the advistory board and Trustee John Deam of Liberty township, Wells county, of the acceptance of their bid for the erection of a new school house near Liberty Center. The proposed building will be a oneroom brick, costing about $5,000, and will embody all the features of the ideal school building of the present age. Messrs. Mann and Christen will go over Saturday, at which time the contract will be signed. Work will probably begin on tee nuilding next Monday in order that it may be completed and ready for occupancy by the opening of the term in the fall. Thus another link will be added to the long chain of schools and church running over the country, which have been built by this well known firm of contractors. *

Y. —o — April 20,191(\ will be a day tong remembered by the students and patrons as well as the teacher, Oliver Brodbeck, of the Jones school in St. Marys township, that day marking the close of one of the most successful terms taught at that place. A marked feature of the day was the oldfashoned “big dinner” furnished by the patrons and spread at noon, being a very elaborate affair. An hour and a half was consumed by the dinner period, and the social time accompanying it was one of those good jollly times which are becoming all too few. Ifi the afternoon a delightful and interesting program was rendered by the students, consisting of recitations, dialogues and organ duets, with songs by the school, all of which were greatly enjoyed. The program was ended by interesting remarks by the patrons, in which the school days of half a century ago were contrasted with those of the present day. Miss Shirty MacIntyre of New Albany was among those present from a distance. o Mrs. Jeff Bryson and daughter, whe have been visiting with relatives in the city for several days, left this afternoon for their home at Portland. —.— _ , a A Cure For wepee. • Mr. Frank P.
