Smith, Homer Poffenberger, Fred King and Garth Stavw— Bluffton - Ex-Governor W. T. Durbin spoke | here FYI day night In the court room to [ about one hundred a r J fifty people for an hour and a halffi taking up m • sequence many of the Issues of the op- | position a* viewed by him At 7:30 ac'.oc* lie wi introduced to those I present by Attorney Shafer Peterson and at one* launched into hl* speech. I The first point he endeavored to ' bring out was the excellent condition ■ o fthe laboring man, admitting that | there was lot* of work, high prices for j produce, and that the .people were I restless. He stands in favor of sendling men to congress who will help legislation instead of blocking it, J. A. M I Adair being alleged by him to block | legislation, although the people of the ' Eighth distriot have strong evidence ’ that this is not true. In his diagnosis of the conditions I prevalent today he says that thousands of democrats will vote for Taft, the reason he failed to give. Roosevelt and Beveridge came in for their , full share of discussion, Beveridge I more than Teddy in faqt, Durbin goi ing to some length in discussing and ■ refuting the arguments on the free 'school book question and good roads : plank. He introduced republican literature of the 1908 campaign to prove his statements. Old Home Week will close this evI ening in a blaze of red and green lights that will it is hoped prove the crowning feature to the grandest oc- • casion ever given here. The boys who have worked for weeks to make the event a success are so proud thereof, made doubly so by the profuse con■gratulations offered on every hand, I that they now propose to close the i week with a grand jollification parade, which w ill occur on Second street at 7:30 o’clock. Miss Bertha Heller, who has served most faithfully as assist- ' ant secretary, and looked after the [ information bureau, will lead, with i Mr. F. M.

The paradq • ill form at the Presbyterian church | corner and move north to the Holthouse garage, then countermarch and proceed south again to the starting I point. The managers have purchased a large amount of red and green fire powder, which will be burned all along the line, and this afternoon sent | to Fort Wayne to secure enough red light torches to illuminate the pa- ! rade Everybody who believes the week has been a success, everybody j wearing a red. w hite or blue badge, is ■ invited to take part tn the parade. If I you don t want to march get along the line somew here and cheer the marchers. Let’s jollify. The week has been a glowing success and this event will , put a Splendid finish to it.

We would not feel that we were doing justice to the fanners and stock men of Adams county if we did not thus publicly express our gratitude

and appreciation for «the manner In which they responded to our request for entries to the horse show. We feel that it was one of the moat succeaaful event* ever given in thi* section and we realize that you made It *o. We hereby publicly express our thank* assuring you that we know again you are all right, the beet people on earth, always and forever. We have tried to be absolutely fair with yon and hope the treatment accorded you was most agreeable JOHN T MYERS, Chairman DAN BEERY. ELI SPRUNGER, CHARLES MAG LEY. Committee. — n—■ Beet cutting, meaning the real start of the sugar plant In Decatur, began at 12:30 o’clock this morning, and from that time on until 7 o’clock one hundred gons were cut. By Wednesday of ’wA the white sugar win be coming and for the next hundred days the factory will be a very busy place. Upon Mr. Will Kremers, the superintendent, falls the responsibility at thia time and he never ha* a minute without its worry. For some time now he will not leave the factory, remaining there day and night, catching a few moments of sleep on a cot in hie office, when possible, and up and doing at the slightest call. The plant is the finest in the world and has improvement right up to the minute. The campaign starts off with every indication of success and will, it is believed and hoped, be a profitable one Miss Bertha Heller has been employed as an assistant in the office of the sugar company, being in the department where the accounts with the farmers are checked. It takes a sys tematic accounting, and this department is in charge of Miss Mazie Harrison of St. Louis, Mich. One feature at the beet factory which will prove popular is the new restaurant being established on the ground by Clarence Holthouse, thus giving those employees who desire it.

a chance to secure warm meals or lunch, or a cup of coffee without going home. For the next one hundred days the force will consist of about 300 people, the factory operating day and night, and the company will make the work as convenient as possible for their men The restaurant wgl be located in the building used as a stock room by Larrowe and will be opened in s few days.

W. H. Baird, vice president of the Larrowe Construction company, and one of the expert sugar men of the country, came in this morning. H had hoped to be here for the opening, but a .business call from California prevented doing so. He expe< •’ to spend much of his time here during the next several months. The beet sheds at the factory yarc are almost filled and more are coming each hour of the day. These sheds hold 800 tons ot beets. The beets are of good size and the tests are excellent. _ RB Th sugar company has bought the small buildings used as offices and warerooms by the construction com pany and will utilize them for various purposes DEATH FROM HEART TROUBLE Henry and Chri* Mey*r* Return Fro-n Funeral of Brother.

M Gephart. a steam eng! . 1 neer of fifteen years’ experience was • ■ in charge and five weeks ago he notl- * fled the owner* that the steam guage i and safety valve were out of order. No repairs were made and he could not tell where he was at any time. Two full gauge* of water were in i the boiler when It exploded. ■’Bruz," or Raymond Gass, fifteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Gass, is off duty at th* Gass A- Mei-, i ber* store to recuperate front injuries : sustained by “bumping up against cir- • cumstances" Saturday night. The business was unusually heavy and , Raymond was delivering goods yet at I 8 o'clock that night. He was riding ■ on his wheel on First street, which was thronged with double rows of rigs on each side. As be rode, he saw an . automobile coming and turned aside ■ to give way. whistling as h* did so. In, turning he robbed up against Grover! . Odle, who was crossing to the Pond . livery stable. In an instant Odle’s tanI per got the best of him. and he 1 smashed his fist into “Brux's" mouth, | loosening two teeth and cutting his | lips Odle repented after the act and ( said he was sorry his temper got away with him and no arrest was made o -— — TESTED THE TAFFY. Bobbie Fowler Plunges Hand Inti Hot Taffy Syrup. While Mrs. Dink Beery Fowler turned to get some- cold water to see whether the syrup which was boiling for taffy has reached “the taffy’’ i point, her four-year-old son. Bobbie.: thought to make a quicker test. He plunged his little hand into the boiling' hot syrup and in an instant the fin ( gers of the hand were covered with > the molten fire, which clung tenacious-' ly to the fingers badly burning them, j The burns were exceedingly painfuti o I The result of the straw vote taken I .in this city by the Daily Itanocrat' about ten days ago. was announced in the Cin< innati Enquirer Sunday, and shows that this green spot will very probably be greater Shan ever after the votes are counted in November. . About 80? Ixkßois were sent out to our city readers, of which number 260 were returned. Os this number Wilson received 207; Taft, 25: Rooeevelt . 23, and Deb* 5. for president; while |ior governor, the vote was, Ralston, 198; Durbin, 23. and Beveridge, 24. . The changes this year according to the returns showed that two democrats will vote the republican ticket, thirteen republicans will switch to th Wilson column, three democrats w.li , vote the bull moose ticket, and twelve republicans will follow Roosevelt. For the state ticket one democrat will change to the republicans, nine re- ’ publicans will vote the democratic* ’ state ticket, six democrats will vote I for Beveridge and ten republicans will do likewise. While the poll perhaps • does not prove anything, it should , show that the democrats are in excellent shape and that the republicans . are about as evenlly divided as it ■ would be possible to do so. Similar conditions exist over the state and nation and in summing up ’.'nV condition’. Bob Tucker, the Indiana representative of the Enquirer, in Me Sunday , letter said: The situation, with less than three , weeks of the campaign unfinished, seerrtS 1° ’rarrant the following conclusion: t 1. That Wilson will carry the rialffj by a majority of 100,(KM) over Taft ot Roosevelt. J 2- That Ralston will be over Deveride and Durbin, but that he I will run from 30.000 to 30 000 votes beI hind Wilson 3- Ths* ttore democrat are going to vwtv fbr Roosevelt and Beveridge tMh the leaders admit 4. That Beveridge will run from ‘ 20,000 to 30,000 votes ahead of Roo<» velt. That Roosevelt and Beveridge wil! , be second unless there Is A marked change during the next IS days. Bryans "delicious two-course” luncheon, after leaving this city las' Friday, was not set forth in the society columns, but the Indianapolis News had a special wire relating from one of the correspondents on board ■ the special train that is of esspecial . Interest, relating to the Commoner's dinner. W. A. Kunkel of Bluffton 'comes in for mention. The dispatch read: •When Mr. Bryan concluded his speech at Marion today his train was about an hour behind his schedule and to save tir? he decided to eat lunch on the car. William Kunkel, ' chairman of the Eighth district democratic committee, was detailed to obtain Mr. Bryan’s lunch. i " 'You get me,’ said Mr* Bryan, a dime’s worth of bologna sausage— ’ “ 'I beg your pardon,’ gasped Kun-

kel, thinking he had not heard right “ ’I said ten cents worth of bologna, and a dime’s worth of cheese—not th* kind that has holes In it, but the kind that ha* not boles in it, and five > cents’ worth of crockets not big i crackers, but small one* and a bottle of pop, strawberry preferred, and : some coffee.' ■ j “is there anything elsef muttered Mr Kunkel, holding to the arm of a seat. ”’No, th. ’ i* ail.’ rejoined Mr. Bryan. And that is the meal he had. He would take a bite of cheese, then a * bite of bologna, mix a cracker with them and wr sh It down with a wwal . low of pop. and then take the taste of 11“ pop out of hi* mouth with a i gulp oi Let coffee. 'Any man who can *at a meal like that and not have indi’gestion is ctr’ainly more than a wonder—he ’* a phenomenon,’ remarked Kunk.l. “‘l’m very 'ond of sausage and : cheese,’ expl Ined Mr. Bryan. ’! have i eaten them . .1 my Ufa.’ The base IJI g played here Sun 1 : day astern ci t ten the (f)e- atiu I shamrocks and tl:: i'ort Wayn Sham : | rocks was .: e of great interest to the ■ 2,000 peopl who assembled to witness ■ it .

The Decatur Shamrocks now claim the championship of the independent base ball teams of the state and are prepared to protect that claim with games to prove it. Through the summer Curley Ellis has put lots of time and work on the team and foday it stands a perfect machine, capable of playing a fast game and very hard to lose its head. To Ellis, more than any, is due the credit for making Decatur a winner. Next summer may see our team in a league, and if it does, why, look out, we will certainly get a pennant. Anyhow, we now hold the championship for independent teams and defy any team to take ft trom us. Curley, hitting in the ninth, and Johns following with a hit. saved the game, and let Baxter come over the plate with, the winning score. ~ ■ o John Bolinger, a masonry contractor of this city, has landed a very large contract in Winchester, where he will be busy for the next six or eight weeks filling the contract.

The parade formed at the cor net of Adams street, the Decatur band leading, followed by the board of managers and members of the various ' committees The Jefferson township band and the Blue Creek band also took part and five hundred men and women paraded with red torches They marched to Jackson street snd back and even then seemed loath to quit, and for an hour many of the pa-1’ raders marched up and down behind L | the three bands singing. "Home, L I Sweet Home.” and other familiar 11 songs. It was a great occasion and a ; fitting closing to the big week, biggest bV»r known in this section and better • than advertised. Many people-have ‘ urged that it be repeated but this will ; be decided latet 1 . It is etifi- td say that never in the history of Adams county ’; has an event been given which so gen-'; erally and completely satisfied.
