An addition of a highspeed Wheel er A W ilson sewing machine has recently ben installed by the Harrod & Waggoner Shoe company. The machine makes 3,600 lock stitches per minute, which is from 1,600 to 1,800 more than the normal machine found in such factories. The K. of P. boys here speak in the highest terms of their treatment at Bluffton yesterday, and say everyone seemed to be trying to outdo his neighbor in an effort to show the visitors a good time. The Commercial Club anil Elks lodge rooms were turned over to the visitors.

The Fort Wayne Gas company have notified their patrons at Bluff- ■ ton that after April first churches and lodges will not be given excursion rates, but will have to plank down the cash the same as the common herd. The reason assigned is that i everybody must pay alike, with no I I favorites. Many people are joyfully contem plating the lecture of Father Nugent. "The Last Confessional," which is to be delivered Tuesday. March 2. The lecturer has appeared in this city two times before and those who have heard | him will not miss it, nor do they want their friends to miss the opportunity.: so a large audience is assured. A number of Pythians who attended the district meeting at Bluffton; yesterday have registered “kicks" against the treatment they received from the Clover Leaf on the return trip this morning. They say they were loaded in an old car in which , there was no boat or other aeeommo dations and they were nearly frozen by the time they reached this city. The failure of the supply ol gas in : the Indiana field has left many sac tories without sufficient fuel and a number were forced to suspend busi ness. The Ball Fruit Jar company has substituted an artificial plant and is now supplying gas to their mam mouth furnaces by the distillation of coal. Intense heat is required in the j manufacture of glass and so much gas is consumed that it requires a pipe seven feet in diameter to carry a sufficient supply. The money savings system which was spoken of some tune ago in the Daily Democrat as being in vogue on the Pennsylvania lines, is now in op eration on the G. R. & I. railroad and agents are instructed to take deposits , ranging from one to one hundred dollars, from the railroad employes. The system is quite popular as it pays higher interest and affords more ac commodations than banks and is the means of helping man and employee I to lay up a few "plunks.” C. S. Ridenough manager of the ! Mondanis Meadow Dairy of Fort Wayne, was here today on business, i Owing to the scarcity of milk in Allen county he says they are compelled to I scour the neighboring counties to get I enough to operate their plant. They use 600 gallons of milk per day and in order to get this amount are offer iug one dollar per cwt. for good milk. This will seem incredible to those farmers who sold their milk last sum tner for fifty cents per cwt.

Fisher returned from Bluffton today, where he has been visiting his son, James Fisher. He, also spent a few days with his son-in law at Hartford City.

John Edwards has completed eleven big signs for Brittson Bros, that will be placed at the different cross roads. The signs are high examples of the stripping art and show Edwards to be an adept. Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer and daughter. Anna, went to Vera Cruz this afternoon to pay a few days visit to Della Sellemeyer, who is teaching school in that vicinity. Della will accompany them home tomorrow. The machines for the Big Store I Pants company are on the road and are expected any time as they are now ’overdue. If they arrive today it is possible that the factory will be in ■ operation by next Monday. Lee Walters and George Teeple are hustling around today moving their household goods. Mr. Teeple moves to the corner of Adams and Ninth streets, and Mr Walters to the house lon Monroe street, vacated by Teeple. At the regular meeting of the Red Men last night, there were two initia tions and the work on the candidates was followed by a big banquet. A very enjoyable time was had or in other wards, then* was “heap much fun in the wigwam.” | Jacob Yager will leave for Jones boro. Arkansas, this evening, where I he expects to enjoy a month or more of recreation. While the prime motive of the trip is for a benefit to nis health. Mr. Yager will also look over the country with a view for some kind of an investment Warren is to have a Commercial I Club, incorporated under the laws of the state with a capital stock of 82,000. It's prime and only obje< t is to promote the liest interests of Warren and | develop its commercial industrial and manufacturing interests. The cause ■is worthy of flattering success and ' could be imitated in many other places notably this city. The attraction booked for March 2, at Bosse's Opera House, promises to be a good show, as the following clipping from the Hartford City Oa- ! zette goes to prove: "New York Day l>y Dav” was presented by a very ' creditable company at the Van Clove theatre Monday evening. The play I was one of the best of the many good | ones that have been presented here \ this season. Mrs. Eli Sprtiuger was pleasantly surprised last evening by thirty or I forty of her neighbors who bad plan ■ ned the event fur a friendly gathering i before she left that section of the city. I A iolly good time was had and a delicious sourseof refreshments were served. The crowd departed at a late hour, feeling that it was the lx>st time they ever had. The Sprunger family will soon move into the R. S. Peterson property,which they recently purchased in the south part of town.
