The American Yeomen Wednesday evening enjoyed one of the biggrat orcation* ever arranged by the focal organization in aonie time, and a record breaking crowd was in attendance for the meeting of the Supreme Manter of Ceremonies, Mr. Stillcop, of lies Moinea, lowa, headquarters of tile lodge in America, The state man ager, Mr. W. F. Carter, of Indianapolis we s also present and tho two hon ored guests of tho local lodge made the evening one of seldom occurrence. Mr. Stillcop gave a very interesting talk on the history of the lodge as did Mr. Carter, which proved to be very interesting from every point of view. Following the talks, brief ones were made by local members, while the degree work was also conferred on a number of candidates. Following the business session a social hour followed, at which time a mingling of guests was participated in for the remainder of the evening, and toward the close refreshments were served to the many present. The visitors spoke in high terms of the local lodge and that the standard which is maintained by them places them in the front rank with any city of this size. It is a rapidly growing organization and before long will be one of the strongest in the city.

Say, what are you going to do m Wednesday of next week? If you havn't any particular plans, why not join the Methodist Sunday school excursion to Goldthwaite park, Marion. Indiana. After weeks of investigation and efforts to arrange lor rates, it has been announced that the annual Sunday school picnic will this year be given at the most beautiful and attractive park in the central part of Indiana. A rate of seventy-five cents has been secured over the Clover Leaf, the train to leave here nt about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, taking you direct to the grounds and returning at about 8 o'clock in the evening. The distance there and back is ninety miles and the rate secured Is a wonderfully cheap one. much to rhe satisfacvtion of those in charge. John T. Myers of the Myers-Dailey store has the publicity affairs in charge and that assures the success of rhe event. The young men and boys of the Sunday school will sell the tickets and every man, woman and child in this county are invited to join them on this day of joyful picnicking. Get the basket ready, gather up the family end go along. Old soldiers who ' i h to visit t’.ie veterans' home at ...aiion do so at this time, at but : ttic .- -t- It san opportunity for everybody to enjoy a day's outing at a lower cost than has been offered for many months. up, join the happy throng, buy your tickets now , so the guarantee to the railroad company can be taken care of; put on your picnic duds and be at the depot Wednesday morning. Decatur sent a large delegation of people bound for Robison park, Fort Wayne, today to attend tne ninth annual outing of the Methodist church, or better known to all as "Methodist Day." J. A. Beatty, superintendent of the Fort Wayne district, idbued invitations some weeks ago and great plans have been made in the meantime tor the entertaining of the hundreds of guests who attend from all sections of the Fort Wayne district o’ the North Indiana conference. The invitation announced that Sunday school work would be a -special feature of the day and it was carried out according to plans and as a day's outing of this kind would permit. Methodists and friends from everywhere and their families responded to the general call and the entire day at the park was another of the happy occasions enjoyed on previous years. Dr. L. O. Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio, secretary ol the Ohio Sunday School association, delivered an address which was listened to by many. A base ba'l game by the ministers and Sunday school superintendents was anothc” .nature of the day and a feat highly enjoyed by all

One or the latest government changes to come to the public notice is that paper money will be reduced m size and probably national bank •notes will be reduced one-third, and new designs produced by the secretary of the treasury for the purpose of economy to the government, more convenience to the public and protection from counterfeiting. The decision to make the change has practically been reached by the secretary. It Is proposed to make the dimensions 6 by 2U inches. The paper money now in circulation measures <.28 by 3.04 inches. The designs of all paper money—United States notes and certificates and national bank notes would be systematized and made uniform for every denomination. This move is expected to save the government about $900,000 annually, and the national banks, which pay fo< the plates for their notes and part of the cost of redemption, about $200,000. The economies would be effected in steel for the plates, In paper and in labor. For many months the only deterrent to the step by executive author-

Ity haa been the belief that It would I be necessary for congress to appro-1 Priate about $1,000,000 to replace the' national bank note plates which have been paid for by the national banks This problem has been solved by having the general design of all national bank notes uniform, requiring only one engraved plate for each denomilntion, and placing on the notes by surface printing the name, location and charter number of the bank. This would do away with separate plates for each bank. Eighteen montbs would be required to effect the change by tho preparation of the designs, engraving of the plates and printing of the notes. To meet the objection that for a time at least there would be two sizes of currency in circulation It has been suggested that the government print in advance a sufficient quantity of the notes of I the new size to be exchanged at the i sub-treasuries and national banks on a set date. The change could be substantially accomplished within a fewdays, treasury officials believe. There are now nineteen different designs of currency. —o PROCEEDINGS IN BANKRUPTCY.

Joe was engaged In putting up sonic spouting and had placed a ladder against tho house so that he could crawl up to his work but failed to get a solid foundation ror tne ladder to rest on, leaving it insecurely propped up. He did not notice the perilous position and climbed to the top where he started to work. A swing to one side sent him toppling to the ground, where he was picked up. He managed to hitch up his team and come to town and to work for a while, but was forced to lay off on account of his injuries paining him so verely. His neck and shoulders received the brunt of the fall and are strained severely. His arm is skinned up at the elbow and in his side 13 a large, painful bruise. He Is forced to stey at home for the next few days in order to recuperate strength. The fall, while not far, was from an awkward position and the force of the fall was enough to shake him up consib''.'ab)y. Chicago, 111., Aug.

Washington, D. C., Aug, B—(Speeial to Dally Democrat I—President Taft returned from Cincinnati to 1 Washington shortly after nine o'clock I this morning, and went direct to the | executive office. Washington, D. C„ Aug. B—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Adjournment by August 17th was the date fixed by leaders on both sides of the house today following the action of the senate last night in appropriating free passage of American ships through the Panama canal. It was the belief of the leaders that consideration of the bill might be completed today. County Clerk Bleeke had a warm job on his hands this morning, when he carted out a wagon load of old election ballots which had been stored in his office as required by law. The ballots were taken to the river bank Oast of the jail and burned. Quite a discussion of how to make more room in the court house occurred at the clerks office this morning. Mr. Schnrger suggested the tearing out of the old wood shell's and the installation of steel ones and showed how much room not used now could be utilized. Others believed that the onlything to do is to build additional rooms to the building, giving more space fothe auditor, clerk, recorder and furnishing a place for the surveyor, prosecutor, assessor and others not now taken care of as to office room, as they should be. Attorneys Hooper and Lenhart filed two new suits at the clerks office. The first is entitled First National Bank vs. August Smith et al, suit to quiet title. The other is the Hoagland State Bank vs. William Fuelling and W. H. Fledderjohann, suit on note, demand. S6OO. o HENPECK DOINGS. A.

Speakers have been secured and fireworks galore will be on hand for the evening. He invites you. one and all, to come, and says that there will be plenty of red lemonade to go around. WHAT BRYAN SAYS. Regarding the Acceptance Speech of Nomination. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. B—(Special to Daily Democrat) —President Taft's recent speech of acceptance hangs in for a slaying from William Jennings Bryan in the latter’s Commoner, which said today: “President Taft’s

speech of acceptance will for several reasons stand out In jolltlcaly history as a very remarkable public utterance. To begin with he accepts Senator Root's guarantee without a smile and even agds his acceptance of the proceedings that resulted in his nomination. What an astounding Indifference to the justice of the public. He completely has his conscience feared net to be sensitive in regard to the methods employed at Chicago." 0 It’s a go.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 9—(Special to Daily Democrat)—That President j Taft will veto the legislation or ; ■"budget" appropriation bill was au- | thoritatively stated here this afternoon o_ About 8:30 this morry-lig Marshal Peterson was called to Monroe street where four drunks wetra creating a sufficient disturbance to warrant arrests. The four tramps, patrvd off as they were first noticed, and iwo went north in the alley between the gas offi< e j and Kalver s place, and managing to get about twenty leet into the alley collapsed on some empty cases and lay dead to the world. The other pair continued to make themselves ridiculous by staggering on the street and finally made their way around the Adams County bank corner, headed north. By this time Marshal Peterson came on the scene and headed towaid the pair in the alley. One of the bums had gotten to his feet and had tried to go farther into the alley and managed to get as far as the corner of the building, where he fell sideways in the mud with a .ladder on top of him and was unable to get up. Peterson picked this pait and taking them east happened to catch the goods on the others and deputizing two ther mets for the trip to the jail got these two also. With the four drunks the young army made its way , to First street, where one or two of the drunks became unruly and laid down on the sidewalk. In title finish they had to be hauled to jail. They were so drunk that it is | thought than they wilil hardly be so- i bered ul> for trial today. o The St. Joseph's Catholic school building that has been undergoing :t course of improvements during the vacation time in the way of painting etc., has just been completed by Peter Gaffer and force of men after a several weeks' job. The walls each room have been repainted and i - placed in a sanitary condition, anil j i range in color of drab, tan, etc., with ' i light blue ceiling and neat border to ' ' match. i The floors have all been scrubbed j i and cleaned by the janitor, Mr. Dein- ‘ i er, and but little work for the open- j i ing of the fall term the first week in 1

September remains. * Between one hundred forty and one hundred fifty tons of coal have been delivered and stored in the basements to be used thia winter in the I heating of the schools, church, the I sisters’ home and Father Wilken’s • residence. The coming year Is being ' looked forward to as on previous j years, as being a very successful one s and Father Wilken will leave nothing undone that would hinder this in any respect. -- ■ c ueajjnoj istal uqj joj 'jejtun.ids |i;q years a member of the firm of FrisInger A Sprunger, importers of tine Belgium horses, disposed of his half interest to his partner, John M. Frisinger, a dissolution of partnership taking effect at once. The deal, although unexpected by the public, Las been under way some time, but not until late Thursday was everything signed over and the deal closed. The company has been recognized as one of the leading importing firms, not only of Adams county, where they have sold a large number ot drait horses, but throughout the land, where their reputation as high-class horse dealers is recognized by all horsemen. The firm was organized fourteen years ago and their business has increased from year to year, so that it is necessary for several trips to be made to Belgium during each year and large consignments of the ir-ogtly demanded stock shipped to this city. Mr Sprunger, the retiring partner, a horseman unsurpassed, has nothing definite in view, as to h's future, but will not long remain idle, as he is a hustler and never satisfied unh.ss he is at work. For two succeedii.g years he has been selected to a t as judge at the Internationa! mock Show at Chicago, an honor fa!! tc but very few, thus showing his ability in th's line, as he is held by horsemen. Mr. Frisinger, who is now the sole proprietor, left Thursday night following the close of the deal for New York and on tomorrow will set sa.l for Namuer, Belgium, remaining until some time in October, when he will arrive with a large number of valuable animals. During his absence Mr. Bowen will look after his business, while Mr. Sprunger can be found at the old stand caring for his end, still due him.

Decatur: Located on the banks of the St. Marys's river. Laid out in 1836 by Thomas and Samuel Rugg. Named after Commodore Stephen Decatur. Famous naval fighter, who said: "My country right, but my country, right or wrong." . The county seat of Adams county —the best on earth. County has 500 miles of stone ' roads.

On that date the board of "managers will decide the slogan best suited for Decatur and the prizes will be awarded according iy Get busy, using the above sugges tions or any ethers that may come tc your attrition Remember the slogan must be short and to the point. There are no rules governing this part of the contest, however, and you have an opportunity to use a little originality and get paid for doing it. I Any person in Adams county may compete for these prizes. Get busy, make your thinking apparatus earn you a five-dteillar bill. Let’s have a I slogan that can be used not only for I the Old Home Week, but for all time 1 to come. J O— The second registration of voters will be held Friday, September «. It is not expected to cause the confusion that the May registration created, although there are many questions to be solved before the general election in November. The greater part of the work of preparing for the September session of the various registration boards falls on County Auditor Michaud. The appointment of inspectors and clerks made before the May registration stands until after the election, except where there have been resignations, or the appointees refuse to serve. In those eases the an- '

ditor must appoint the inspector* an* the Inspectors ehooae the clerk*. When the stations for the May session were chosen it was with a I view of holding the two suc< ceding I registrations in tie same places . Thia will be done providing ne oh I stacle* arise.
