Ixical attorney* Intwestod fa the I , have raced red word from the ap court that that court has bub laiaed the dectviou of the lower court at Portland. to it* judgement la faror of Joka W. folio*, aguln.t the late l*«|ar Holthouae of this city. The two wa>« partners in a clothlug store at >CM*er »»4 the suit was brought by I'olthg on a note riven by Hoithouse The judgment for Poling wan some ItlU la a croeacomplaint filed by llotthoaae, however, he suited for an (cuuantuur by Poling, whom be alleged owed him a much greater sum, ammaaend durtag hto career an iwrtner, and for which ho never accounted. The tower court decided for Poling, a ud this was sustained by the higher. The local attorneys for Holthouse wifi fUe a neiiUou ashing for a rehearing ia the appellate court This will be done wtthin the sixty days’ given by law. The appellate court held that a general accounting by Poling for money that came into his hands was sufficient without specifically showing what the money was spent for. Holthouae'a attorneys say the decision of the appellate court was wrong because there is a large amount of money that Poling did not account for nor attempt to account for and that there was no evidence by which the appellate court could affirm the judgment of the lower court. The reasons for a rehearing will be based upon this Notices and information in abundance are being sent out by the postoffice authorities to Postmaster Low er, and others over the country, relative to the new parcels post system to be adopted January Ist. The various supplies and equipment necessary for the postmasters in carrying out this new system, which is practically a government express system, will be sent later, in early time, say, the Postal Guide, the mouthy bulletin sent to th* postmasters. Those will include a map showing the eight postal zones, on which the parcels post rates of postage are based ,as the rate will vary according to the distance the parcel will be requited to travel. This will be based as express rates are, instead of having one given rate as the regular postal parcels have now. A definite scale for weighing will be among the supplies. Distinctive stamps will also be required and the packages must 1.-ar the name and addrt se of the sender, a well as the address to which th* p? cel is sent. It is said that certain animals may be sent by the parcel post and a traveling menagerie will doubt less be among Uncle Sam’s parcels post proteges. o The program for the Adams County Teachers’ association which will ho'd a session in the Berne high school assembly room November 23rd, is as follows; 3:30—11:30 a. m.

The sale included horses, cattles, hags, stock and other personal property and some very fine goods was put up. Mr. Runsett ia preparing to go west. He •'ll ship his household goods there, and will himself leave next week. He ®ay eventually decida to locate in Oklahoma. He will go directly, howeve*. to Kansas, where he will join his w ife and their three children at the home of her mother, Mrs. Green Merryman, formerly Mrs. Good of this city.

The western trip is "fade in the hope of restoring her health. The Erwin farm is now owned Dr. Clark, and Newton Stevens

I who resided on th, Junes Archboid 1 j farm, will tenant it. I Jhe Misses Ode and Letta Fulton- 1 I kamp were hoiteues at a rabbit sup- 1 | P«r at the home of their mother, Mrs 1 M- Fultonkamp, Thur.day evening. jThe rabbits, in plenteousneas, wore i tKKwd Tuesday evening by Messrs.! ,Tony Hackman and Fred tkburger ' *bo contributed them to the teas-' I They were prepared w , th consummate ; skill for the supper by the hostesses | and their mother, and their sister, .Mrs. E. F. Gass, and provided a very delicious and succulent part of the j feast which was spread at 9:30 o'clock after the closing of the various business houses, where many of the guests are employed. Those who surrounded the table for the feast were, besides those named before, the Misses Amelia Weber, Louise Brake, Dora Schults,' Lydia Miller, Margaret Gallogly; Mr.' and Mrs. Joe Lose, Fred Sehurger,' Tony Hackman, Charles Ixise, Will Helm, Will Johns, Elmer Sark of Fort Wayne, Mr. and Mrs. E.

A round of games and music contributed to the after hours' enjoyment, and it is said that in the game of “Judge" "Ginger" Gass persisted in being "it,” much to the enjoyment of himself and the amusement of the others. — ' o From a rumor now current among the railroad men of the city, Superintendent Mackrell of the Erie, with headquarters in Huntington, intends to abolish the practice of road employees indulging in Intoxicating liq- > uor, says the Huntington Herald. As evidence that this Is the official's intention, local railroad men state that already six Erie road employees running out of Huntington on the eastein division have been taken from acli.e service and held off uuty for an indefinite period. Some time ago, it is understood, SuI < rintendent Mackrell issued an order that the road men refrain from th-?' use of liquor while on duty and in addition requested that they let it alone when off duty. It seems some trouble has been encountered in this direction recently and in accordance with h:s order, the superintendent took six of the violators from active service. With the double track work now well under way along the entire Chii & Erie division, over vhtoh Superintendent Mackrell has jurisd'ct|on, the line is in such a condition from the construction work that there are many possibilities of accidents and wrecks. This fact, together with employees using liquor, mak*s the danger of wrecks neglect or carelessness more probable and the local official has taken the above action to lessen this danger. DICK’S DOG DEAD. A mournful wail from the heart of Dick Heller, broken by its first real grief, rent the air at the corner of Second and Madison streets at 11:45 o'clock today noon, when th* interurban car ground to death his little puppy-dog, his faithful playuate and ■ friend that has been staking closer to him the few short weeks of its life. Dick had the puppy at the Democrat office and was just leaving with the dog in his arms. The dog struggled ; to get away, biting as it did so and Dick was unable to hold him. Like, a dart of lightning the little animal j ran tK rose the street and directly un-1 der the car wlieels, which ground j him to death before the eyes of Dick,, : who no doubt experienced a paternal 1 ' grief ns great as though the little animal had been his own child. With j cries of anguish he picked up the mangled remains, wrapped them in a newspaper and carried them home, where the interment took place with beStting ceremony, and attended by a large concourse of playmates whose . grief was most sincere. _ ——o- “ The grand Jurors visited the ja'l this morning and the county infirm’ary and were dinner guests of Superintendent Laughlin and wife.

The high school of our city was treated to a splendid lecture this morning on "Mammoth Cave," by Evangelist Benentt, who is conducting the revival at the Christian church. He spoke of his trip to the eave and told about the formations of lime stone and water, how on entering the eave you come into the colossal dome 147 feet high, a mile under ground. From here you come into the Fairy Grotto, then into the Stalactite and Stalagmite parlors, into statute chamber, where a perfect statue of Martha Washington has been carvew by nature, into the consumptives' cabin, where a number of people on account of the temperature being 111 degrees al) the year around, expecting to be cured, were disappointed. Then comes mammoth dome and Corinthian pillars, bridal altar, saltpeter vats, Echo river, and the “corkscrew. ' The pupils of the high school gave the evangelist an ovation and all were well pleased. t __ At the last grand lodge meeting ol the Odd Fellows legislation affecting the good of the order took a proini nent part and practically the whole meeting was the adopting of reports of committees which had investigated and reported In detail on points de manding attention. The meeting opened in the grand lodge hall in the Odd Fellows building in Indianapolis Wednesday morning and the local lodge was represented by the deputy of this district, L. C Helm, and Past Grand Homer II Knodle. Over fifteen hundred mem bers of the grand lodge were presenl at all the meetings, taking an active part in the legislative part of the ses sion. The various reports show that with the exception of two jurisdictions every jurisdiction in the world gained , in membership, some as high as twen ty thousand, and the lowest was ovet three hundred. Indiana had a gain of over twenty-five hundred. Visitors from other grand lodges were present and the many addresses given were interesting and instructive. THEY WILL QUIT. Fort Wayne Fair Company Has Losing Proposition. Although no official action has been taken in the matter, the rumor is persistent that the Fort Wayne Fair association is about to disband. It is authorized that every member of the board of directors has agreed that there is no use in attempting »o 'conduct another fair as a paying proposition, and they are willing to quit. The matter has not be3n up before ' the stockholders. The fact is, however, that most of the stockholders are members of the board of directors. It lis believed that the association will 1 disband within a very short time. It ' is deeply in debt, and those who have ; money interested in the organization I do not care to take a chance of losing i more. CLOVER LEAF DEFICIT. - | In its report for the year ended .lune 30, 1912, the Toledo, St. Ixiuis and Western Railroad company (CloI ver Leaf > shows a deficit of 355,928, ; after the payment of interest charges. The deficit was increased to $254,980, through the payment of $199,052 as a . dividend of 2 per cent on the $9,952,- | 600 of preferred stock. The balance I sheet as of June 30th. shows $395,591 cash and taotal working assets of $2,044,021. Working liabilities were sl,154,721. The profit and loss surplus was $2,644,440, a decrease of $286,849, and total assets and liabilities were $53,204,830. In these days of fabulous prices for coal anything that appears to be an explanation for the existing conditions, especially if in it there is a ray of hope either as to the ease of procuring the much wanted fuel or a reduction in the price, will truly be welcomed by those who have to feed the flames that the “frost king” may ’ not creep too dose to the hearth. One of the explanations offered at I this time and which is given credence by the retailers’ coal associations, is tnat the strike in the early summer. •

i both in the mines, trust controlled, - and in the Independent mines has - thrown the supply behind about 12,- ■ 000,000 tons. 1 Facing this condition, the great coal combinations whose product is about i eighty-five per cent of the total out- ; put are attempting to fill orders i' placed with them during the summer ' months and are sending it to the sec- • tlons of the country where there Is ' | now the greatest need for it and ■ I where the cost of transportation is i lowest, via., Into New York state and i the New England states, and by water way to the northwest. Thia shipment, however, is all made on what is called circular price and i has never exceeded $8.25 per ton re- - tail for best chestnut coal, and the great coal companies controlled by the great railway lines it is claimed, have persistently refused to accept a premium price for their coal. i The premium coal it is claimed is all i bought of the small independent mine • owner, who when approached by the ■ prospective buyer sees in it his opi portunity, and gets the price he de- » sires, the dealer purchasing it to supi ply the pressing deman at home. As soon as navigation of the great - lakes closes it Is also claimed by these • same reasoners, th* coal that is now > going into the northwest will be ship- - ped into the middle west and at the - trust prices will be around SB.OO per ■ ton for shipment. Whether the above logic proves true ' or not there is at least some hope in i the possibility of a larger supply and J reduced price in our common fuel. i The next meeting of the Methodist • Brotherhood will be held in the , church parlors the evening of Decernr ber 3rd, and will be one of the feature - meetings of the organization, which s is now in its second year of a successful life. Organized for the purpose of more f closely uniting the men of the church ; with the church itself, the organlza- ■ tion is doing a splendid work among e the men of this city. They are eager s participants in the meetings held 1 from time to time and up to this time >- over two hundred men of the church have been enrolled into the brotherJ he ' Th* interest of th* members is i held by the holding of monthly meet- ., ings through the winter months and J at those times having some features ’. of unique and valuable interest to . present to the’members. i- On the next meeting night the prot gram as now arranged will be a dee bate: "Is it right, or well for the ;- church to take an active part in politics?" Affirmative, H. F. Callow, i John T. Myers and E. V. Robinson. - Negative, O. L. Vance, W. J. Arch--1 bold and John D. Stults. The Brotherhood as a whole will r act as judge. f p s A FOOT BALL HERO. t ? Alma College Student Finishes Game With Broken Neck.

Wilcox of this city was a 1 student at the same college. > TO CONSOLIDATE. , Columbus. Ohio, Nov,- 22—Declaring in favor of church union, commis- , sioners representing the United . Brethren and the Methodist ProtestI ant churches today completed a two- ! day conference at a local hotel. . By a divided vote the name “The i United Protestant church composed , or the church of the United Brethren in Christ and the Methodist Protestant church," was chosen to designate the united church. This name was preferred to “The United Protestant I Church.” The work of the commissioners is only the first step toward union. General conferences of each j church must now consider the action . of their commissioners.

The next meeting will be with Mrs. Jones on December sth. The sixty ladUs at the Mite society meet at the home of Mrs. Arthur Sut- ' ties Friday afternoon witnessed a i most interesting session. The report 1 of the treasurer for the half year showed the finances in fine condition, and report bf the New England dia- : ner given recently, showed the clear- ' ing of more than SIOO. A committee to remember the shut-ins of the soi ciety with fruit or flowers on Thanksi giving day was appointed. Mrs. John ■ Niblick, who is president of the W. C.T. U., gave an excellent talk and exi tended a cordial invitation to the Mite 1 society ladies to attend the W. C. T. ■ U. meet at the home of Mrs. B. ,1. ; Rice next Tuesday afternoon.

There .ill be no charges to t the hall, so let all be present. The s ladies are planning a lunch counter — I any three articles for a dime —and if f you are a good guesser you can get I a good lunch for 10 cents. i The Missee Beulah and Bertha Fuhrman anu Edith Rice went to Bluffton today, where they will be guests over Sunday of Rev. and Mrs. Lantis. Rev. Lantis was formerly pastor of the Decatur Methodist clrI cuit. The Chanticleer Girls have receivt-d an invitation from one of their for- ' mer number, Miss Ethel Smith, now residing at Lafontaine, to be her guests at Thanksgiving dinner. They are anticipating a very good time. Last winter t'3 Pythian Sisters i-1 vided themselves into two sections for the raising of money for the dis-t i trict convention held here. To eld interest they agreed that the side that made the most money should be entertained by the others. The section lead by Mrs. James Bain lost by abr. .t three dollars and the section of whi-h Mrs. Charles Elzey was leader, w: s declared the winner. The section, however, decided to wait until coo' -r weather for the entertainment, ; id this was given Friday evening. It war. a Thanksgiving party and corn, pumpkins, turkey pictures, etc., were used effectively in decorating. The idea was also carried out in the amusements. In a corn hunt. Miss Vera Hunsicker was the prize winner and in a contest of pinning the turkey's head, Mrs. Florence Patton was the most successful. Biting the swinging apple was another amusing contest. A feature much appreciated was the musical program. A duet was given by the Misses Vera Hunsicker and Merle Leonard and a vocal solo by Miss Hal lie Leonard. The banquet was a flue spread. The small tables in the din ing room were arranged in a circle about the room and the decorations centered in the larger table in the center of the circle. Small pumpkins, S

turkeys and candles were attractively . arranged here, and in lieu of u bou-, quet of flowers, pop-corn in the husk was used. The banquet was served! from the following menu: Bouillon, bread and butter sandwiches, cranber ry sauce, veal loaf, Waldorf salad, pimentos and cheese moulded in the form of carrots, pickles, olives, coffee, ice cream and cake. ■ ■ .1 I n—i .■ The Misse Vera Meyers, Flora Fledderjohann and Ix-ah Apt will go to Ft. Wayne tomorrow to be the guests of the Misses Frances BrannIng and Julia Bercot. J Charles Murphy, a stranger who' has been employed the past two days about the city, was given a severe j clubbing Friday night by two | "knights of the rail," who then rob- : bed him of an eighteen-dollar check . and took his overeat from him. Morphy, who was badly Injured, getting a broken nose, a cut across > the eye and injuries on parts of the head, was taken to the county infirmary today to stay until he recovers, and his two assailants were taken to jail to await the action of the grand jury. They gave their names as Charles Frethicks, of St. Louis, Mo., j and Joe Kane of Altoona, Pa. Freducks has been employed here three weeks at the sugar factory. The assault and robbery occurred near the Erie water tank between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. Murphy has been employed on the Wabash railroad, it is said, and had received his check for eighteen dollars for bis services. To cash this it was necessary, he said, to go to Huntington. He accordingly went to the tank west I of the city to await a freight, on! which he could ride to Huntington.' There the two assailants mentioned | before, ha dtaken up their stand to await the train also. They built a fir* I along the track and were warming, themselves there when Murphy ap-1 peared on the scene. His overco it | must have appealed strongly to the two, as well as any other valuables . which he might possess and they be-1 gan beating him, and when they had ■ him helpless, robbed him. As soon as Murphy could collect [ himself he came back to this city and I going K to the hoop mill, called Night] Policeman Melchi. Mr. Melchi accom ' panied him to the scene of the robbery and found the two assailants there, no train having appeared >n which they could ride away. Kane, 1 the larger of the two, was wearing ’ Murphy's overcoat and the check was also found in their possession. He brought them to the city and took j 1 them to jail. Murphy was taken to j Dr. Miller, who dressed in injuries, | 1 the worst of which was the fracture 1 of the nose just across the bridge. Mr. Murphy has been employed 1 about the city for the past two days, 1 beating carpets and rugs for house--1 cleaners, and had worked Friday at the Gregory and Vail homes. o Experiments are now being con- > ducted at Colombia university to ' prove the truth of the theory that i people who sleep with their heads ' pointing toward the north magnetic pole and their feet toward the south sleep more soundly and awake more refreshed than those who steep other-1 wise. Do you sleep well? Are you in perfect health? If not, you had better box the compass before retiring. Every man, woman and child in the brotherlaad should turn his or her bed around until the head points north and the feet south. Then only will his or her sleep be as deep and sound as possible, all other things being equal. Then only will he or she arise with nerves rested and with proper tone to th* entire body. “Nonsense, rot," you say. Yet *x-1 periments at Columbia University seem to bear out this theory, which , is almost as old as the hills. Dr | I Walter J. Clarke, one of the best .known exponents of the use of elet | tricity, not only for the cure of li i seases but for the soothing effect il has on overworked and tired nervis a firm believer of this theory. "The truth of this theory, whi-h is a very old one, has been demonstrated thousands of times," says Dr Clarke. “But it is only just recently that scientific proof has been produced. We now understand why it ts so. By electrical stimulation of the nerve fibers one can either rest them or make them healthy, if -tisensed. Many diseases that were formerly treated by the giving of drugs are now cured by electricity. There is no doubt that sleeping with the head to the north is beneficial." Dal Hower the well known member I of the firm of Hower & Baker, meat I dealer, closed a deal yesterday afternoon late, in which he came into the possession of the Mrs. Agelino Archbold homestead on Monroe street. The consideration was $6,000 and as a part I of'the consideration Mrs. Archbold j Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S :astoria | ••
