OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS CO. BOSS BUYS MORE FACTORIES. Frankfort, Ind , Dec. 12—The Boss Manufacturing company, with general offices at Kewanna, 111., and with factories scattered throughout Indiana. Illinois, Missouri, Ohio and New York, all being engaged in the manufacture of cloth gloves, mittens and corn huskers, has closed a deal whereby it takes over the three glove factories owned by the Gregg Glove company, operating factories at Frankfort, Lebanon and Crawfordsville. The Boss company owns the Bluffton mitten factory and the acquisition of the three factories named above makes the company the owner of about twenty factories. The Gregg company, which sold out at Frankfort, was organized in 1903. —Bluffton News. RORY O'MORE. One of thebest and most interesting films that has been shown at the Crystal theater for some time will be the one of this evening, Mr. Parent having secured the Rory O’More, the story of an Irish patriot, and one that has won fame throughout the country. The story, which ’s one of those that touches the heart, represents Mr. O’More fleeing from the English officers, and on his way steals a few’ moments to spend with his sweetheart, ' Kathleen, who has been followed by William Black, the informer. Later, hearing that he is to be imprisoned, he flees and is overtaken, arrested and placed in captivity and placed on trial. So the story goes, and it is considered one of the best in motion pictures today. Another interesting film will be the “Square Love,” an Indian poem, which will also be well worth your time. o MISS EFFIE WAY DEAD. Death Removes Well Know’ - Ossian Lady. Miss Effie Way passed away this morning at 9:45 o’clock at her home in Ossian, after an illness of five weeks with typhoid fever. Her condition had been critical for several days, and last week she was forced to undergo an operation for a rupture of the bowels which was caused by her serious illness. She was taken sick five weeks ago > hile wording in a large department stere in Indianapolis and was brought to her home a week later. For a few days after being brought home, her condition became serious but Sunday morning she showed considerable improvement. She suffered a relapse last evening and continued to grow worse until death relieved her this morning. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 2 o’clock at the M. E. church and burial will be made in the Oak Lawn cemetery. Rev. Dougherty will officiate. Miss Effie Way, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Way, was born in Ossian, May 27, 1887. She was a resident of that place practically her entire life time and leaves many friends to mourn her death besides the immediate family. She is survived by her parents, one brother, Oscar Way, and three sisters. They are Mrs. Charles Woodward of Fort Wayne, and Misses Mary and Martha Way, at home. She was a member of the Pythian Sisters lodge, and also an active worker in the Ossian M. E. church. — Bluffton Banner. Ex-County Recorder and Mrs. C. C. Cloud Tuesday afternoon at 3:51 o’clock a telegraph message from Lynn stating that their youngest son, Charles E. Cloud, had been Killed by a train. The message was signed by the young man’s father-in-law. J. E. Lacy, of that place, and conveyed no further details of the sad occurrence. Later news regarding the said affair was received as follows. About 3:15 o’clock Tuesday afternoon Charles was driving a pony Into the city of Lynn and when near the Big Four tracks a switch engine was just returning from the coal docks after taking its load. The driver did all in his power to control the pony, but without avail, and all in a sudden made a leap in front of the approach-

ing engine throwing him and the driver directly in front of it, dragging both a distance of two hundred feet before the train could be stopped. When picked up by the train crew he was Mill breathing. Both legs had been severed near the body, along with a number of other ugly cuts and bruises. Life was not extinct until fifteen minutes following the accident. The sisters of the young man, Mrs. Letta Peters and Miss Marine Cloud left Tuesday night for that place. The deceased was born in this city twenty years ago last March . 15th, and practically his entire life was spent here. Last June 15th, he was wedded to Miss Lucy Lacy of Lynn, they going to that place to make their home. Mr. Cloud was a brick ’ mason by trade and was quite skilled 1 in that line for one of his youth. He 1 was most highly esteemed and the news of his sudden death comes with the greatest sorrow to all here. He Is the first one of the Cloud family of 1 children to be called, the youngest, ’ and in the very prime of manhood ’ and health. He leaves besides his ’ wife of little more than half a year, ’ his parents and the following brothers and sisters: Fratik ,of Hot Springs, ’ Ark.: Mrs. Letta Peters, Joe, of this 1 city; Mrs. Lulu Bright of Craigville; ’ Harry, of this city; Jesse, of Kalamazoo, Mich., and May me, at home. 1 A message this afternoon at 1 o’clock from Lynn stated that the 1 body would be brought to this city for burial, and will arrive tomorrow afternoon over the G. R. & I. railroad, on train No. 3, reaching here at 3:10 o’clock. The body will be taken to the home of the parents on West Monroe street. No further arrangements for the funeral are known here yet.

U. auxiliary Monday afternoon at the library reference room, with t'he president, Mrs. G. H. Myers, presiding, a very good program* was rendered. Mrs. Elizabeth T. Stanley of Liberty, state vice president, was among the speakers, giving a view of

B the work of the W. C. T. U. from its S origin. The local order now has about t fifty members and they are making ar- . rangements to secure permanent headB quarters, the place to be announced 1 later. A meeting will be held again 5 next Saturday afternoon, and it is the 1 desire that all be present at that time. - From the list of newly elected officers, . , the name of Mrs. Minnie Daniels as re- . cording secretary, was unintentionally 1 omitted. I . — i I The ballots are being cast by the i democrats of Adams county today, suB lecting the candidates lor the various i offices. The polls opened in twentyf seven precincts at 6:30 this morning 3 and will close at 6 tills evening, init mediately after which the returnswill 1 beging arriving at this office. It Is » believed the results will be known by 3 10 o’clock. There are close contests i on for representative, surveyor, audi--3 tor and treasurer and this morning f each candidate was claiming a vie-' . tory. Much interest is being manifestI ed in the outcome and the returns will ! be watched eagerly by the candidates , and their friends. A slight error in i printing the tickets was noticed too , late to make the correction, both Hen- : dricks and Eicher being shown on the ballot as candidates for commissioner from the second district, while Eicher should have been from the third. The correction was made in several of the precincts and as neither man lias opposition. there will be no doubt as to the validity of the election. While the weather was rather bad, the indications are in the city and in the towns of the county that a large vote will be polled, though it Is likely that the country vote will be somewhat smaller than usual. The returns will be received at the Dally Democrat office. ».... — -.. . — . Moro children ceased attending In diana public schools upon reaching the eighth grade during 1910-1911 than ever before, according to enrollment figures compiled in the office of Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of puntlc instruction. That grade is the turning point in the lives of the majority of children, the state official believes, and as in former years, it has been shown that the nebd of the Hoosier school system is some kind of elaboration of the school work at that period which will induce children to complete the eighth grade and enter high school. , The total number of children at- , tending the eighth grade in Indiana school last year was 39,600, while duri ing the year before 41,385 were registered. The total number of children ) enrolled in the public schools of the state last year was 530,267 and the av-' erage daily attendance was 471,726. 1 For the school year 1909-10 the toI tai enrollment was 531,459, and the av- ; erage daily attendance was 420,789. i The falling off in total registration is credited by officials of the state snI perintendent’s office to the fact that :u:.ny new county superintendents took office during the year just passed and being unfamiliar with the methods of compiling total enrollments, i probably caused this discrepancy. J For Marton county the total enrollment in 1910-11 was 39,347, compared to 38,664 the year before. The average daily attendance last year in the county was 31,423, and in 1909-10 it was 30,666. The total attendance in all township schools of the state last year was 284.516. In cities, 190,865 children were enrolled, and in towns’ the lists showed a total of 54,886. 1 The total number of white boys at- : I tending school in 1910-11 was 261,851 and the total number of white girls j was 255,915. The total number of colored boys attending was 4,932, and of colored girls was 7,569. -- After having been bedfast only since Saturday and from what proved to be a baffling illness to” the physicians, George Jacobs, a well known farmer, residing two and three-quarter miles east of Monroe, passed away at 12:45 o'clock this morning, from symptoms of typhoid fever and other ailments. He had been in failing health for some time, and only last week a one-year-old daughter also died suddenly, from pneumonia. All medical skill proved to be of no benefit to him and Dr. M p - Oscar of Fort Wayne, who was called, was also unable to bring relief to the sick man, as well as other physicians who had been caring for him during the first dawn of his illness.. He was nearly twenty-eight years of age, the son of the late John Jacobs, and was numbered among the best known residents of the community. ’He was born but a half mile from where the family resided, and his entire life was spent near Willshire, where he grew to manhood. He was mar-ried eight • years ago, and to this happy union I were born six children, three of whom have also passed to the great beyond. Mrs. Jacobs, who was unable to with- '• stand the many trials of the present, that of the death of their little daughter, and now that of her husband, is also suffering from a nervous breakdown, and medical attention is also necessary. He leaves to mourn their

s loss, besidA a loving wife, three chil-. t dren, Martha, Lawrence and Norman, a mother, Mrs. Martha Jtcobs. and • one sister, Mrs. G. H. McManama. The 1 funeral will take place on Thursday i J morning, the cortege leaving the ■ house at 10 o’clock for the Monroe M. E. church, where the services will £ ~ be held. Interment will be made south • of Monroe. , ’■ - » THEY MADE POP-OVERS. High School Girls Successful In Cooking Class. s' | The first lesson, involving practical • work on the part of the students, in ■ the domestic science class to ugh t by 1 Miss Stella Philips of Fort Wayne, at s the gas office, was given Monday aftei - j noon, being the making of pop-overs, j ! The first section of the high school - girls received instruction, and then, I ; protected by big aprons, stirred in the j .'large yellow bowls provided them, the concoction, the first in the bread line, 1 from which pop-overs are made. These 5 were placed in the oven, and then it i was seen that not enough time could ) be given the students for the baking, - so Miss Philips agreed Jo bake them • this time, while the next section was assembling. The pop-overs were a • grand success, as the Democrat report- > er, who was given a peep into the • oven just as they were baking, can . testify. The next two sections were i given the recipes, and directions, so > that with the next lesson, they can ■ begin at once on the making and will i also have time for the baking. Ales- • son on candy making will also be git ■ en next Monday, as it comes just be- • fore Christmas. c DAVID DICKERSON DEAD. I Died Suddenly Monday Night at Mor. , roeville. David Dickerson, sixty-four, lifeion resident of this city, died at 9 o'clock j, ’ Monday night from heart failure a few minutes after returning to his home • from attending a picture snow. Mr. Dickerson had been in good health and spent the day at his usual work ( as a painter, going down town during the evening to attend a moving pie ture entertainment. Returning home he fell dead while preparing to retire 1 for the night. The deceased is stir ' vlved by a wife and one son, the latter . residing at Sturgis, Mich., where he is i employed as a machinist in a large factory.
