It on ted the Burglar*.
Burglars in nortli Greencastle were given a warm reception one evening this week. They struek the wrong house. They visited Charley Pfieffonberger sr’s., house about midnight. Mrs. Pfieffenberger was awake and heard their preparations. She attempted to arouse her husband but he was asleep so soundly that she had to give that up. She accordingly bravely got out of bed and arming herself with a flatiron and a hatchet, went gunning for the intruders. They were in the act of raising a window when Mrs. P. sailed around the corner of the house and opened lire with her implements of war. The burglars disappeared rapidly and the brave woman returned to the house. She was unable to sleep, however, and at two o'clock in the morning the burglars re-
This time Mrs. P. did not
go out of the house hut took her trusty hatchet and let drive through the window, tearing out sash, glass and all. Again were the burglars fooled and it is safe to say they will not again bother that house.
THE SCHOOL CHILDREN.
They Will In- Given an Opportunity to
Visit the Great Fair.
Its a go, anyhow. The school children'of Greencastle and Putnam county will be given anoppor-
J tunity to see the World’s fair at
low and reasonable rates. The arrangements for the cheap special excursion to Chicago are about completed, though there may be some minor changes in the schedule, A special train will leave here on the Monon Thursday, Oct. 2(i, one week from today, at about nine
o'clock a. in. It will be made no of
day coaches and will have plenty of help aboard for the little ones. The time limit on the tickets will include Friday and Saturday, and returning the train will leave Chicago on Saturday. about dark. Every precaution will be taken by the railway officials to have the train go through safely. One chaperon will be allowed for every ten children. The admission to the fair grounds for children is but ten cents each. Agent Michael informed the Bannku Times today that ample and clean accommodations had been secured for children at the Family dormitory, near the fair grounds. A rate for beds will be 1 •"> cents per night where two
children sleep in one bed with two
beds in a room. Meals at the same place will be 25 cents each. The railroad rate lias been fixed at $1.75 per head for all school children including high school. Parents and others going along as
escorts, etc., will be made a rate of
■f:(,25 for the round trip. It is the plan to adjourn the public schools from Wednesday evening to the next Monday.Further notice will be given of any additional arrangements that may be made by the school hoard on the railroads.All the

Some People Saw the Fair.
Nearly everybody who comes from the World's fair lias had a unique experience, and some tell them and laugh while others keep silence snugly ou t heir side. Some Greencastle people have had all sorts of times, and Greencastle lias done the fair as well as the next city. Here are a few samples as
our reporters learn them :
Mayor Case was there two weeks ago and tells a laughable story of his experiences. His first desire was a trip on the Ferris wheel, and after entering the ground and locating the huge machine he lowered Ids eyes to the ground and started westward. He did not watch Ids points us closely as he should and taking one of the egress gates for the entrance to the Midway Plaisance, calmly and serenely passed out into the outer world. He astonished a policeman by an inquiry as to “where he was at" and to his great surprise and disgust was told he was in Chicago. Mr. Case paid 50 cents m get back into the ground j and thus ids Ferris wheel ride cost j
i ,1 nu one no- -t*. . ■ ■ “
Marshal Starr's friends are tell ing one on him also. On Congress street is a small show entitled the “Greatest Show on Earth’’ for 10 cents. Some of the Greencastle
streets of Chicago without a struggle. The others tell this on the
boys to get even.
One young Greencastle man saw the fair, paid railroad fare and five days board and returned safely having spent just $s.5o. Who can beat that record for economy? How About our llttinam* Society. /•.’J. Doily Banner Timex. Is there a society for prevention of cruelty to animals, in our city, or has it, in these good old’ democratic times gone into innocuous desuetude? I have a recollection of its enthusiastic inauguration, and of the bright prospect that Greencastle would soon become a veritable paradise for the suffering animal kingdom, and yet in a certain well known locality, two poor miserable horses have eked a scanty subsistence until death by starvation came to end their misery. Another skeleton is now furnishing the neighborhood a line subject for the study of anatomy. Its owner drove it five miles into the country this week and on its return, before reaching home it fell in the harness, too weak to carry even its own bones, without the appendage of a vehicle and its occupant. The officers of this society have been appealed to without avail. Query—What is the humane society anyhow?

This Pepsin Oats cannot he equaled. It is so prepared as to keep this flavor and will be found to be the finest Oats ever sold. It also prevents any form of indigestion. Your grocer keeps it. Ask for it and take no cheap, bitter, flat-
tasting oats in its place.
