I BIG CIRCUS AT FORT WAYNE. KT 'A/l' 7. :<a ' v . ’ Barnum & Bailey Show to be Seen There on Wednesday, July 13th. Announcement is made that on Wednesday, July 13tb, the Barnum & , Balley Greatest Show on Earth will ' visit Fort Wayne. This Is the best news of the day to those who are fond of the circus form of amusement. * For fifty-five years this has been the leading show of the world. This year it comes forth with an entire dew equipment which cost the management' 13,500,000. ‘th™ rS

mense Hunan race track and in the dome. The climax of the program is the appalling performance of Desperado, a mad Frencnman, wno leaps from the dome of the tent and his bare chest. Additional thrills are given by Jupiter, a pure-white Arabian horse. It rides to the dome of the tent tn a balloon and descends amid a Niagara of exploding rockets and fireworks. Then there is Charlie the First, beyond all question the most remarkable animal that ever came to the notice of scientists. Charlie the First is merely a chimpanzee, but he has become the greatest bldycle rider and acrobat id t£e world. He does “ net on one ot the .tohe. thnt 1.

the wonder or the age. In the menagerie Is found the most remarkable zoological exhibit ever seen outside of the Interior of the African jungle. It Is Bumbino, the first and only glrgffe ever born or exhibited In America Only once before in history had the stork visited the giraffe pen of a captive zoo of animals. That event happened over fifty years ago In London, England. The youngster died before It could be placed on exhibition. Bumbino Is only three feet tall,' less than one-seventh of Its mother's height. The youngster la worth Its weight In gold. On the list of performers are the names of 400 of the world’s most talented performers. The new parade is a marvel of Interest. It is a panorama of a thousand wonders. There are three miles of It. Here is an opportunity for the people of Decatur and vicinity to see the greatest circus ever organized. The railroads 'tolll lower the rates of fare and special excursions will be run. " - 1 M ■"■■■■■ I.— ~ When the Misses Grace and Frances Butter returned to their home on Tenth street Wednesday evening found a (merry host of twenty young friends waiting to give them a surprise, which was certainly complete In all its details, having been arranged by their mother, Mrs. Mel-Butler, in celebration of their birthday anniversaries which come, however 1 , two weeks apart. Outdoor games of all kinds were played, and music was furnished by the Misses Flora Peters, Gladys Graham and Vera Hunsicker. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were also much enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Snell and daughter, Katie, and grandson, Burdette, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Robinson and Mr. , Ellis Shookman came down from Hoagland by automobile and were entertained at dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Jay Cline. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Butler and children, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Butler, Mr. and Mrs. William Butler and children and Mrs. Sarah Fisher of northwest of this city. The ladies of the Union Chapel U. B...church called at the parsonage in i this city yesterday afternoon and preI sented Mrs. Imler a beautiful quilt as a token of their regard. Refreshments, were served and a most enjoyable time was had. The quilt is very valuable In intrinsic worth, but much more valuable as a memento of love and esteem. The ladles will always be held I In most kindly regard by the pastor and his wife. , About thirty guests were in attendance at the party given Wednesday afternoon by Mesdames J. D. Hale and I John S. Peterson at the Hale home, I the event being one of the most pleas--1 ant of the season. Decorations were I June flowers in great profusion, placI ed in large bowls and vases on ta- | bles and mantels about the home, and | contributing much to the pleasure of I the affair by their beauty and fraI grance. A delightful little contest I provided amusement, being the illusI trating with drawing, of the names of F books. Mrs. Dan Beery was awarded t the first prize for having the best drawing. The drawings were then i pinned about the walls and draperies and the names of the book which they , were to represent, guessed. In the i guessing contest Mrs. D. D. Heller was given the prize. Miss Frances Merryman contributed much to the enter- » talnment during the afternoon by her > excellent instrumental solos. A luncheon in two courses was served at 5:30 • o’clock in the dining room, by the Misses Lucile Hale and Frances MarI. ryman. It Dayton, Ohio, June 23 —The demoli cratic party of Ohio goes into the state campaign this fall with Judsoh [. Harmon as its candidate for governor r and for president The democratic [I state convention, which completed its t labors Wewnesday evening, indorsed I him in the strongest terms for the I presidency of the United States after I it had renominated him for governor I by acclammation. I Other nominees of the convention I for state officers are: I Lltutenant Governor—Atlee PomerI ene, Canton. I Judges of the Court— I Maurice M. Donahue of New Lexing- ' i ton and James Johnson of Springfield. I Attorney General —Timothy S. Hoi gan, Wellston. Secretary of State —Charles. H Graves, Oak Harbor. Treasurer of State —D. S. Cramer, St. Clairsvllle. Clerk of the Supreme Court—Frank McKean, Cleveland. State School Commissioner—Frank W. Mlljer, Dayton. Dairy and Food Commissioner—S. E. Strode, Galion. Member of Board of Public Works —J. A. States, Allen county. Governor Harmon made a futile re quest of the resolution committee that they omit the presidential endorsement resolution, saying he is making his present fight on state issues and

did not want national issues ihjected_ i into tbe coming campaign. He was I told that It could not be prevented. ] ■ 8.. , O'"— — ——l Julius Haugk, the quarry man, is I preparing to open his new property I which he has just bought in the south. I He has just returned from a trl]j during which time he bought a big stone i quarry, one of the largest in the j Southwest, located in Arkansas, thirty- l five miles west of Jonesboro, and ninety-flye miles west of Memphis. It Is the nearest quarry to Memphis, and .Mr. Haugk expects to do practically all his selling in that city. He has also purchased there a store, three houses, twelve shacks and twentyfive acres of ground. He will continue operating his quarries here and will divide his time between here and Memphis, making the southern headquarters in the latter city. Ifi about two weeks he will leave for the south and will probably take with him Charles Nelson and Nick Vandewater. who will assist in getting the plant In shape for business and later he expects to take twenty of his men from here down to that country. Julius things he has a good thing in his new purchase and will not stop for a few dollars in pushing things along there. PETITION NEARLY READY. The petition for the dredging of the big Blue Creek ditch, which, aS stated In the issue of April 2nd of this paper, was begun at that time, is nearly ready for filing in the Adams circuit court, and will probably be ready within a few days. As stated at that time the ditch is about ten miles long and affects half the townships in this county as well as several in Wells county. The cost of dredging will be abount $20,000. — o ' —— Abe Boch, thew well knonw horseman, recovered his horse Wednesday evening late after a search of a week and the tale is one which proves the ability of an animal to care for her- ‘ self. This one was the family mare which has been used by Mr. Boch for three years past. She was raised by John Snyder, who lives near Sheldon, • and they kept her for six years. Three i years ago they sold her to a man at i. Ossian, who sold her to Al Ringle of s Fort Wayne, and Dan Beery bought • her there and she was brought here, i Last Friday she was -roaming about ■ in the yprd at the Boch farm east of 1 town, when she decided to pay a visit • to her childhood home. She trotted steadily out north, through a country over which so ter as can be ascertained she had never been driven and a ’ few holirs later whinnied at the gate of the Snyder farm, from where she 1 had been sold threb years ago. The ’ folks there were glad to see her and' ’ she had a regular picnic for several ’ days. They advertised her in the Fort Wayi.e papers and Mr. Boch learning ‘ of the fact drove over | Wednesday , night and got her. Just bow the mare knew the* route to her old home and ’ figured out the shortest one, has not been figured, but that such, was the , case has-been ascertained. ; : Herb Lachot is a hustler, a live one, and wie are willing to give him credit J for it He started out a few days ’ ago to raise a fund for a Fourth of July celebration here and though he has met with many rebuffs and turndowns, and some from sources unexpected and undeserving, he has kept everlastingly at it and today it looks as though he and the band boys will j be there with a good program of entertainment. Wednesday evening he was about ready to quit, but decided to make one more effort today. Henry Thomas offered his assistance and together they have increased the subscription sufficiently that the event looks like a sure thing. They are out again this afternoon and hope to close the list by this evening. There is much to do yet and the next week will be a busy one. The program here will Include a balloon ascension, a $350 fire works exhibit, sack and egg races, etc., speeches and other attractions. The bills v&ill be out within a few days and from now on until the Fourth it will be a game of boost and advertise. Watch for the full particulars within a day Or two. ■' — o The supreme court Wednesday evening gave its decision in the case of Samuel Frank vs. City of Decatur, in which the former asked for an. allowance fbr services as policeman after the council had declare dthe office vacant, but on order from the mayor. The case was tried as a test and w’as appealed, the higher court holding with the circuit court in favor of the city. The minutes on the case are as follows: 2166 T. Frank vs. City pf Decatur, Adams cireuit court, affirmed. Myers, J. (1) Under Burns. 1908, Sec. 8791 of the cities and towns act of 1905, the authority of a mayor of a city to appoint reserve policemen under an ordinance previously enacted by virtue of subdivision 8, Burn's, 1894, of the. old city charter law, was entirely repdaled, although such ordinance has

Miss Sylvia Droppieman Underwent Operation Yesterday. Word from Jeffersonville is to the effect that Miss Sylvia Droppieman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Droppieman, underwent an operation Wednesday for the removal of her tonsils, the operation being performed by Dr. C. F. Hancock of Jefferson-’ vllle and Dr. Hazlewood of New Albany. The operation was a complete success and Miss Sylvia is doing, well which is indeed very gratifying news to her many friends. She has been bothered with throat trouble for some time and quite recently her grandmother, Mrs. Margaret and grandson, Bob Meibers, went tq Jeffersonville ip be with the family on account of her illness. o ....-... The sporting page of-tie Battle Creek, Mich., Enquirer of Monday contained an account of a ball game at Bay City Saturday, which was pitched by Tom Railing, who is simply eating that league ,up this year, to use a sporting term. Battle .Creek won by a score of seven to two. Tom gave the Bay City bunch four stingy hits, while his team got ten, out of which Tom got a three-bagger, a two bagger and two singles. The Battle Creek team leads the league with 667 per cent, while the next one to them is Flint, with 581. The champions are managed by Billy Earle, formerly of Richmond, who is known here, and Henderson, a former player here, is doing the short-stop work for Battle Creek. Speaking of the Saturday game the Enquirer said: “Spured on by Tom Railing’s masterly pitching the Crickets today downed the Cardinals 7 to 2. Railing was a big stumbling block for the Cardinals, allowing only four hits, well separated, and making that many himself, his drives being responsible for four of the runs.” It looks like the old boy was again coming into his own. ,i o "■ — ■ WHO WANTS A CATALOGUE?
