The Harmon cs*e, on a charge of i keeping a house of ill fame, was again I postponed indefinitely. It may come to trial week after next. —— French Quinn was this morning appointed receiver for the Ft. Wayne & Springfield Railway company, his bond being fixed at *IOO,OOO. The ap-

pointment ot a receiver came upon| application of William Fuelling a prominent farmer of Root townshir, who today filed la the Adams circuit court, a suit against the company, on note, demand, *«.OW. He allege* that the company, also naming William H., FJedderjohaaß, Chariea Dtrkaon and John H. Koenig, defendants—executed to him on date of March 21, 1912, a note for *4,994, giving bins twemyone first mortgage bonds, each of the par value of »5(». The arrangement was, that if these repreeiated in value • the MaMßty of the company was to be increased. Payment was also to be mad-* when demanded The allegation is that paytnfat was demanded and refused, as was also additional se- ’ 1 curity, and that the railway company ( has not efficient money to pay indebtedness, has many suits filed ( against it. is depreciating in value, and operating at a loss, and that it 1 would be to the best interest of cred- ' iters that the property be sequestra!'ed and distributed. A. P Beatty is ( 1 the attorney for Mr. Fuelling. Agreeable to his bond that he would operate the road. Mr. Quinn this aft- ’ ernoon took active charge of the wo'k ‘ and will give It bis personal attention for the present at least. When interviewed by a Democrat representative • this afternoon be stated that the road ' wer'd be eperated the same as here-! • tofore for the present at least He has retained C. J. Lutz and A. P Beatty to ‘ serve as attoneya for the receiver and vrfH seek tneir opinions and ad- ! vice. The present working force, in | ’ the office, the car shops, power house 1 and on the cars, will be retained for ' the present The hour and a half ' schedule, which was put on this week 1 on account of the Fort Wayne fa:r, I will be discontinued Sunday evening. 1 the three-hour service will begin | Monday morning The road will be ' kept running, in order that the com--1 pany will not lose the value of in ee tablished and operating railroad. Just what the disposition can or will b* made of it will not be known unr'l Mr Quinn has thoroughly gone i ,o the matter and has watched the ",nsi-; sees for a few weeks at least With the fall business coming on, the big beet crop north of town and the various amusement enterprises, this community needs the interurban now, and , the news that the service is to be couI tinned will be good tidings to all. Mr. Fledderjohann and the others of the office force will continue in their j plar e». and it should be emphasized that there is no bitterness in this action. Every one connected with the enterprise are hopeful for the best future possible for the Fort Wayne A Springfield. it was just nine years ago—July 30, 1903 —that practical work on the establishment of the Fort Wayne-Decx-tur interurban was begun, a party of Ohio men, including W. H. Fledde--jotaan. John H. Koenig. Edwin Flc-d---uerjohann, B. A. Fledderjohann an>( others recognizing the possibilities, and need of a few hoars’ service between this city and Fort Wayne, with probabilities of its extension later into Ohio. With them also were interested Charles Dirkson and others of this county, who have been with the company In its great task during all this time. The first car from this city to Fort Wayne in regular service was run February 1, 1907, and the service since has been continuous. Nearly a million dollars have been expended in this road, and the greatest desire of those interested has been to see it succeed. The pay roll average per month during these years, is *3,000, running as high at times as *5.000. At present, when the threehour service is in order, that the expenses may be cut Juwn as low as possible, the pay roll runs to about *2,000. In the face of difficulties of many kinds, not the least of which were financial difficulties, the workers attempted the southern extension ot the road and about three miles of the grade over the most difficult part, has been accomplished. | N'sxt Monday.

■ w**^»nV£itifrH"SSfijJrf*i < V j* <- -f ' __Sb A~ ‘ r I * * i An Easy Way to Stop a Serious Waste Z, AN you imagine the average housewife of the corn belt refusing to collect eggs because they were not worth as much I as the hens? Yet in this same corn belt many W corn growers waste every year almost as large I a part of the corn crop as eggs are of the poultry business. The feeding value of corn stover, cut at the right time and properly cured, is about one-third of the total crop. If you have been letting this good fodder go to waste you should know that there is an easy way to save it. That way is to use an I H C Corn Binder Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, or Osborne The difficulty has been to harvest the corn at the right time, and quickly enough to retain all the good feeding value of the stalks and leaves. You can’t always get extra help to harvest it quickly with corn knives. With an I H C corn binder you can harvest forty acres in seven days from the time the ears begin to glaze. 1 hen, when the whole crop is run through an IHC busker and tbredder— either i Deering, McCormick, or Plano-*-you have secured as nearly all of your corn crop as could i be harvested. Your corn is husked clean and you have besides a large quantity of nutritious roughage for the winter feeding of your stock. Also, there is no better, quicker, or cheaper ‘ way of cutting corn for ensilage than with an 1 I H C corn binder. See the IH C local dealer and have him show an IH C corn binder. He will give you * full information and supply you with cata- * logues, or, write ■j International Harvester Company of Amerk* Incorporated) Fi. Wayne Ind.
