Tb« of the board of tuan-ig TburMlay evening was a red hot J,. with plenty doing all the time There are many Important problems |0 be solved by this committee and as they come up they are argued out. It ia uR---r»tood that when a fellow haa aontething on bls mind, he speaks it, and as a consequence the meeting became very interesting The call for appropriations in the various departments Thursday night caused' much discussion. It was finally decided after a long and heated argument to allow the music committee S4OO, which with S3OO which the chairman haJ agreed to raise ( will make a total of JMO for musts Thia la a big feature and will Include the Indianapolis Newsboys' band, the Packard, the Decatur. Herne and Geneva bands The Committee is Chai Schafer, Dr. Archhold and Jesse Sutton, and it s some committee. The advertising committee was given 1400. Charles N. Christen was named as chairman of a com mittee on decoration. A representative of a house that makes a specialtyin this work will be here in a few days to discuss this feature with the committee. F. H. Hubbard was made chairman of the committee on souvenirs. The selection of a slogan was postponed until next Thursday" evening and the two banks who are donating the fund, increased the amount to sls This will be awarded. 110 to first, $3 to second and $2 to third. The selection of a slogan is an important ae», for it will probably be used fnr years to come. There were a large number rd slocans offered, but most of them were long and as there seemed to be ;■ -n's"nderstandlng, the committee dec'ded to reopen the contest Everybodv is invited to send In a slogan be--ne-n ’his and next Thursday evenat 5 o'clock. Most of the slogans •a. ■ sent tri by children. The committee elievew this Important enough that the older people should show an Interest and they ask that they do so. Send in a slogan. For your assis rance we give the following one-c V.'-yne. With .Mich- nt' Main:” "Huntington — Opportunity's G.ite‘lndianapolis—the Center of Trade:” "Chicago—l Will.' '< - a « decided Thursday nieht that ;■ r»rjide of beet wagons should bgiven on Tuesday of Old Home Week On that day farmers are invited to bring in their beets in wagon loads, making a showing of this wonderful new industry tn this country. On Wednesday will occur the official opening of the new factory and that will be the only day of the week when the public will be allowed to go through the factory. The Packard band will probably furnish the music on that day. playing in one of the balconies. Other features of the program will be announced from time to time French Quinn has received a reply from C. L. Thomas, a former resident here, now general traffic manaeer o' the Baltimore A- Ohio Southwestern railroad, with headquarters at Cincinnati. He savs he will be happy to come, if possible, and adds: "I recognize many familiar names, including your good president, and after an absence of more than twenty years, a handshake and heart-to-heart tai with many of the ‘Old Guard.' would unquestionably be very gratifying The Royal Neighbors appointed Mrs. Earl Butler and Mrs \\ illiam Richard as their two members of the Old Home Week invitation committee. The Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian church have appointed Mrs •I. S. Coverdale and Mrs. Julia Moses on the invitation committee. To you motorist, if you are a lover of flowers, plants and of sweet country life, you shall be told of a really beautiftu country place. Not the country place us a magnate, not the finished effects worked by magic dollars, but simply a plain German farmers home, here in old Adams county, touched tirto real beauty by a German farmer’s "wife, to whose practical German mind is added true poetry of the soul. If you motor down Berne way, keep on the stone road running due south from the Old tile mtH until you reach the banks of the Wabash, then turn eaietward until you reach the first road to the right, thee turn south and the second house on the west side of the road is where Herr Solomon Habegger and Fran Caroline Habegger, hi« frau, live. You turn into the barnlot, hitch your car and be assured of if hearty welcome. Mrs. Habegger is certainly a lover of plants and flowers and her collection is marvelous. The beautiful little home is as neat as German bouse wifery can make it. The great lav. >. is a dream ot color. Beds ot plants and flowers and shrubs and vines are tastefully and artistically arranged Cannas, caladiums, hibiscus, century Plants, cactus, clematies, morning glories, fever few, bleeding hearts, begonias, geraniums, castor beans, dahlias, ferns, palms, coleus, daisies, sunflowers, honeysuckle, candy tuft, salvia, snow on the mountain, corn flower. poppies, golden glow, trumpet Hl-

Thursday evening. All week he had' , advertised in an extensive way sor 1 ' . »ue giving of a special show on ‘ ~ Thursday evening, that of "Redemp- . tion," with newspaper advertising and 1 . the spreading of circulars. At the 1 eleventh hour ne received a telegram 1 ,- from the feature film company of In-, } dianapolis that the film had been de . Strayed along the way and that it . would be impossible for them to pro 1 duce the pictures. Mr. Stoneburne-. . who believes in giving his patrons . i nothing but the best at all times, callr I ed up Geneva for extra films lor the 1 I evening’s show, and learning that they ) | would be able to supply him, he made . mints with several other Dei cater people, including Marshal Pe s ' terson, to make the trip in the Wil- -' Ham Fledderjohanr. automobile. The , party left here early in the evening, , I shortly after 5 o'clock, to secure the , j films. All went well until nearing . 1 Berne, when a puncture was had. . | This they soon mended and when j leady to start, Mr. Stoneburner turn- , I ed the crank to start the engine, when | it kicked back, and striking him on . the left arm, broke the large bone just ,: above the wrist joint. Dr. Reusser of ' Berne was secured, who temporarily j dressed the fracture and the party I ’-ad to make the trip back without go- ■ ing to Geneva for the films. They arrived home about 10 o'clock and a r local physician was called, who dressed the arm as It should be after the long ride and jar on the way home. O’l during the evening crowds of peo- , pie yho had gathered in front of the theater to attend the show, but had , to be turned awav unsatisfied through the unavoidable trouble. I 0 i The old soldiers' monumental comI mittee held another meetingThurslTav ■ cvei '.ng at the G. A. R. hall, to receive ■ reports from co-workers in the var'- > ous districts for the seco-ine of nameI for the petition which will be presented to the county commissioners at the September session, asking for SIO,OOO , for the old soldiers’ monument to be erected in this city. While not all the reports from the far rural districts were In, those received up to Thursday evening were very* favorable, and everything points to success in securing the required majority of names necessary for the petition. The com- , mittee desires that all workers be ready to return their petitions to the . committee by August 24th, tn order that the required time may be given for filing with the county -auditor, for action by the board at the September I session. i PICNIC A wiJCCESS. i Between seventy and seventy-five ’ attended the picnic given by the United Brethren Sunday school tn the cool, shady grove east of Monmouth. Games delighted the little ones, while the older ones had a general good time, i talking, and all enjoyed the delicious picnic dinner spread at noon. The picnic was a success in all ways. o -• M. M. DUNBAR TO TEACH. The vacancy in the Petroleum . schools caused by the resignation of Prof. Willis Hollman, has been filled ■ by Trustee Baker, who has engaged M. M. Dunbar to fill the position. Mr. J Dunbar is a teacher of experience, I whose home is at Linn Grove. He ' graduated from Indiana university , law school in .lune, but before entering the practice of law will devote some time to teaching. He is a young married man and his family resides at Linn Grove. Professor Hollman is completing a course at 1. U.—Bluffton News. FOREST KAUFFMAN WEDS. Word from Redkey is to the effect that Forest Kauffman and Miss Verna Walser were married at the M. E. parsonage there Thursday evening, August 7th, by the Rev. .1. H Runkle They will reside there. Mr. Kauffman formerly resided here and is known to many here. THE MEANEST MAN LIVING. The meanest man has been located. He is a farmer and lives near Monti-J cello. Having a patch of potatoes to ( dig and not relishing the back break-, Ing job he hit upon a scheme to get ( his wife to do the work. After digding a few minutes he went to the

house and exhibited a coin on being i washed, found it to be a half-dollar, saying he fount: it in tne potato patch. 1 Returning to wor kanother coin wna t soon forthcoming, and when the third I piece had been shown, supposedly dug I up in the potato field, he knocked off 1 work and went to town. On his return he found his wife had dug all of 1 the potatoes but strange to say, bad < not found a single coin. < ' i WALTER L. ROSS. PRESIDENT. < I 1 Os Clover Leaf Railroad—Takes Place t of Theo. Shonts. i .— ' ( Walter L. Ross of Chicago, hast been appointed president of the Tee J i ledo, St. Louis A Western railroad I to take the place of Theodore P., 1 Shonts, who was the president of the ] combination of the Chicago A Alton I | and the Clover Leaf. Mr. Ross was formerly vice president of the combination. This further adds to the I separation of the two roads, although > more changes are to le expected In 1 the near future. The offices which are now in Chicago are being moved to Toledo, and the Chicago A Alton will continue in its present quarters, i Mr. Riss is known as a good railroad man, beginning work for the railroad as office boy, and passing through all, the steps to his high position. o— Completing their work of examining the records of the offices of the clerk of the circuit court ...id of the county sheriff, says the Portland CommercialReview. State Examiners Samuel W. Crane of Lafayette and .lames P. Haefling of Decatur returned to Indianapolis Thursday noon. After filing their report with State Examiner Dehority it is expected that they will have a short rest before being assigned to another county. The examination of the Jay county records, cover ing a period of eight years in the clerk's office, and seven in that of the sheriff, was finished in exactly five weeks' time. This is considered n remarkable bit of work, a testimony alike to the capacity of the examiners and the condition in which they foimd the records to which they were obliged to refer. In Randolph county, ■where an examination covering the same n-riod was recently made by 0t’.... examiners, it required fifteen weeks. ~ Mrs. Mary L. Rudders began action for a decree of divorce from William H. Badders. Badders is a traction conductor and the wife says that he is suspicious, that he questions her conduct and company, that she lacks, his love and wants to be separated. Mr. Badders agrees to it all and the case was submitted to Special Judge S. L. Morris, in the superior court, who granted the wife a decree of divorce. Mrs. Badders was represented by Attorney Edward W. Meyers and Mr. Badders was represented by Attorney H. W. Kerr. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. The Badders family formerly resided here, Mr. Badders having beet; engaged in the saloon business. Attorney D. E.

Millard F. Wenner, in St. Mary's township. Last December, Mrs. Dailey ffdl and dislocated one of her hips, and has been helpless since. Last Tues day evening, about 5 o’clock, she suffered a stroke ot apoplexy, and her decline since then has been rapid. Her sisters, Mrs. Joseph Ixiwer and Mrs Joseph Helm, of tkis city, were at her bedside, with other relatives, who did all they could to assuage her suffering. At 4 o'clock Mrs. He*ui left to return to her home here, and upon her arrival home, was apprized -that her sis-ter-had passed away tn the meantime. Mrs. Dailey's maiden name was Rachel Congleton. She was a daughter of Daniel and Anna t'ongleton and was born in Wooster. Ohio, in 1832. | In 1848 she came to this county, and a year later was married to David Weimer. To them were born three children—Millard, of St. Mary’s township and Winfield, who resided at, home. One daughter died in infancy. 1 Mr. Weimer passed away in 1854 and i in her second marriage, the widow was wedded to Esaias Dailey, who gained distinction in the civil war, being chptain of the 49th regiment. Os , the five children born to them, but one, William Dailey, of Willshire, survives. Two sons, Sheridan and Richard, died in infancy; a son, Cassius M i Dailey, died three years ago, agd a ( < son, Charles Dailey, twelve years ago. i The husband, Esaias Dailey, passed 1 ® /

away in 18(9. Mrs. Dailey was the eldest of a family of twelve children, of whom but three are now living They are: Hiram Copgleton, of Monroeville, and Mesdames Joseph Lower and Joseph Helm of Decatur. At the age of sixteen years. Mrs. Daily entered the Christian life, becoming a member of the Methodist | church, with which she was identified j until twelve years ago, when she unit- 1 ed with the United Brethren church at | Pleasant Mills. Her life has been one wholly consistent with the Christian standard, and she was highly esteemed and greatly beloved. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home iu St. Mary's township, and burial will take place in the Mt. Tabor cemetery. Rev. Kohne of Willshire, Ohio, will probably officiate. Although the country in general lies been served with notice in the trade journals, especially those published in the Interest of shoes and leather goods, to the effect that the I rice of shoes will advance about September Ist, a suggestion has been offered that would no doubt solve the exorbitant price situation. The solution is that shoes can be | made out of other material than leather. They can be made out of cloth, as many of them are now made. , Leathei is without doubt the best material for the manufacture of shoes, and in the temperate climate nothing else takes its place in the winter season. However, in warm climates and in this country during the summer months, cloth or canvas shoes are worn to some extent and are entirely satisfactory. When the prices of leather shoes advance to a higher place, as they are certain to do, cloth shoes can be adopted and it is believed by many that next summer will find the cloth shoe supplanting the leather shoe in millions of instances. As a solution, if everybody in general in the United Stales adopt this wearing of cloth shoes for a single summer, it would lower the price of j leather to a point where leather shoes for the coming winter would not be exorbitant. This seems to be the correct solution, as there Is a limit beyond which people o»n not gz in the matter of pax fj lor shoes. o The Decatur Democrat was honored j indirectly Thursday at the John's pic j nic at Eaton, Ind., when its Monroe coi respondent, John Mayer, of that hustling little burg, was awarded the prize for being the handsomest John present, according to the Muncie Star this morning. The Democrat is now eorry that the , three others Johns on its force could •not atkaii. Bs ft is certain the.’ several other ;-ri:es wouM ha*, c been carried o:f by i'inn. It was an tounced that Job*, l-euqoi Bluffton would be given the p’ -e ft: bong the ug.’est John present, but Mt Dean could not be found when the prizes were awarded. The picnic fliis year eclipsed all former events 'By fi o’clock Thursday night 493 Johns had registered, and it is said that fully six thousand people attended. The parade composed of Johns tn autrnroblles from different parts of the ssae- and Johns in beautifully decorated wagons, on horseback and in other vehicles, formed at 9:45 o'clock and started to the Riverside park. The Eaton band furnished mesic for the march and the parade was | one of the nicest ever seen at Eaton. , Many prominent Johns were on the program. Regrets which were received by a telegram were read from John D. Rockefeller, the oil king: John M Studebaker of South Bend, and John Ade of Kenton, who, on account of ad vanned age, could Lot be present, and Congressman John A. M. Adair, of Washington, D C.

I With Gentry Bros.’ all new feature shows, which will visit this city Tuesday, .comes the only collie dog ever B eefi in this section that was bred in royal kennels. This beautiful animal

was once the property of the Duke of Cornwall, and is a performing animal. He is the only dog that rides like a high-class artist rides the big white Norman horses, tto common in the circus world. “Collie,” that is the dog’s name, was sent as a present to Gentry Brothers i when thetr agent was in England three years ago. The agent, who went there In search of European novelties, for Gentry Bros.’ shows, found time to train four of the dogs from the royal kennels. In return he was given three of the royal collies. One more was sent to Gentry brothers. Two of the dogs died at sea. The third is now in New York, and the four of the aristocratic canines is a “rider” with Gentry Brothers’ All new Feature Shows this season. Gentry Brothers are the first showmen to ever present a dog of royal breed In’a public performance in this country. However, this is in keeping with their efforts to present a show that appeals especially to ladies and children. The Gentry Brothers' shows you knew in childhood are as much an epoch in the lives of the children of today as they were in your life a decade or more ago. Gentry Bros.' shows will give two performances in this city Tuesday. For this day only admission is reduced to 25 and 35 cents. - o POUNDS OF SWEETS. Mr. and Mrs. John Everett and Mr. and Mrs. Cal Peterson took an automobile trip to Convoy, Ohio, Thursday where they purchased two hundred pounds of fine clover honey for the Ev- ■ erett & Hite store.

Two beet workers became mixed on the corner of Madison and Second streets Friday night about 7 o'clock and from the howl put up by one of the fellows the public within hearing was expecting something strenuous. However, after the arrest of the offending party and the examination of the injured party there was absolutely no evidence and the court turned the man loose. William Bernard, a prominent farmer living west of the city, on what was formerly the Louis Weber farm, will probably lose a valuable horse, through the negligence of some one. The horse was seriously injured internally, Friday evening, when it fell into the deep sewer trench on West Monroe street, just a few feet west of Eleventh street. Mr. Bernard's two children, Billy Bernard ,nd sister. Miss Belle Bernard. had attended the Guy Players' show in this city Friday evening and after the peiformance, about 10:30 o’clock, were driving home in their top buggy on West Monroe street. At Eleventh street begins the ex I cavation for both the water mains, on the north side of the street, and [ the sewer trench, on the south side, which extend west. There was no bar placed across the ' street, and they also said there was no I light up, at the south side, to warn j them of the danger from excavation. The result was that the horse and rig was driven directly into the sewer trench, into which the horse fell. Drayman Teeple and assistants were called and after about an hour and a : half, with most difficult work, with j block and tackle, the horse was drawn 'i up out of the hole. The occupants of the carriage were not injured, but the horse was found to be suffering from what are plainly internal injuries. The horse went into the sewer trench feet foremost, and it is thought the spine was also injured, as well as the horse being injured otherwise internally. A partial paralysis ha: resulted, and it is thought the horst ! I cannot recover. It is valued at from $175 to S2OO. The animal was left near the seem | of the accident until 7 o'clock thi: 1 morning, when it was gotten onto : i sledge and drawn home. Dr. C. V. i Connell was called at 1 o'clock this morning and again today, but think: that the horse cannot get well. It is said there was a light at th< beginning of the water mains trend, at the north side of the street, at thi I Eleventh street crossing, but none at ; the beginning of the trench forth. | sewer at the south side of the road. ': and that the street light was not Ugh:- ■ ed at this time, and as there was no I bar across the road at this point, there was nothing to warn the approaching travelers, or bar the" pi.i s.- at this side of the street. _—_ ——— - - — ■ (United "cess Service!

Los Angeles, Cal., Aug 17 <Sp« <1 to Daily Democrat) —Clarence Da row was declared not guilty oi bribing I a juror by a jury here today. The : jury was out thirty-seven minutes. Mrs. Darrow, who had been hyste: 1 : since the jury went out, trembled I ' a leaf as the court asked Foreman Williams if the jury had reached a verdict.
