Much interest is being expressed in the elections next Tuesday, and it is predicted that the results will be advantageous to the democrats. A saloon-keeper in Decatur supports Congressman Cromer because that dis tinguished statesman will keep him from being prosecuted for violation of the Nicholson law. Editor Fred Rohrer supports the same congressman because of the congressman’s loyalty to the cause of temperance. The only difference between the Decatur saloon keeper and the Berne ■ editor, is that the former is honest in his ignorance, and the latter is a dema gogue for he knows better. The anti-Cromerites do not need to congratulate themselves that the or ganization of the county to suit their notion of things, will be a snap. In fact it will be anything but a snap. The Cromer managers have to make good to their chief, and home pride for home candidates will cut no ice , I with them. The Berne Witness has begun already to pave the way for their captains of industry, and while the antis are discussing candidates the Cromerites will have turned the • triek and nailed down the last hope , of nominating an Adams county can- , didate for congress. If you wish to , succeed, get busy with the county : organization. News]>aper advertising is the i kind that counts, and the merchant is stretching his economy and defrauding himself of handsome prfits, by a niggardly newspaper advertising policy. Every successful merchant in the country spends money freely in newspaper space, and in this connection there never ' was a time when merchants were : as dependent upon newspapers as 1 they are today. With the rural routes and the interurban, Decatur ' business men may well feel the 1 necessity of getting the benefits of 1 an increased trade. The merchant 1 that faithfully advertises—be he 1 from Decatur, Fort Wayne or Chi- 1 cago—will get it, otherwise he will not. Eli Marvin, a democrat from Frankfort, is just home from a business trip in the east, and in an interview he says: “Everywhere I found evidence of defection from the republican standard,’’ said Mr. Marvin. “As a business man I have moved in business circles East and west within the past few months and I assure you there is evidence of serious trouble in the republican party. There is general dissatisfaction with the republican national administration, but Mr. Roose■velt will be renominated. I will be proul to follow the old standard of democracy with a standard bearer like Judge Parker of New York. Wm. C. Whitney, Arthur Pugh Gorman, Wil-

liam F. Harrity, or any of the strong men that have been mentioned. As jto the issue well the republicans themselves are making the issues incompetence in administration and dishonesty in publie office.” ON HIS UPPERS. Tod Sloan, the Once Famous Jockey, Lost His Fortune. According to a special from Koi komo, Indiana, Tod Sloan, one of the premier jockeys of two contin- ’ ents, and who made as high as SBO,OOO in one year, is now really’ s working for a small salary a chaffeuer for an automobile Concern in Paris. It is said that he has lost ! his fortune by extravagance and i does not now make as much in one month as he used to make in a day before the French authorities ruled him off. Tod says he will never return to America, as he is too proud to show the humiliation’he knows would be his when his friends know ■ that he was working for his salary of SIOOO, per annum or less, which a few years ago was hardly his cigarette money, when the young hoes ier, whose foster parents live at Kokomo rode across the country in special cars. WILL WED TOMORROW, Miss Johnston and Mr. Kahnert the Parties. At noon tomorrow will occur a beautiful country wedding, the contracting parties being Miss Johnston and Mr. Alfred Hahnert. The event will take place at the home of the bride's parents, who live six miles southwest of Decatur, and will be attended by a number of friends and relatives of the bride and groom. Rev. J. A. Sprague will perform the ceremony and a big dinner will follow. Amusements. A complete full sized vestibule train, containing numerous passengers, starting from the center of the stage going directly away from, but keeping in full view of the audience, growing smaller and smaltre, until it becomes a mere speck on the horizon and then vanishes altogether, only to reappear as it rounds as curve apparently many miles away where it crosses a trestle over a deep mountain ravine, which trestle is blown up to atoms by a terrific explosion an instant after the train, with its cargo of human freight, has passed over to safety, I is only one of the many sensational scenic surprises in Lincoln J. Carter’s new play "The Darkest Hour" which Carnes to the Bosse opera house on Tuesday Nov. 3. ON SALE MONDAY.

LOST MONEY. Jacob Loser is Out Sixty Doi-; lars. Jacob Loser, of Monroe township, is loser sixty dollars in clean, hard cash, and some one has evidently profited by paying his taxes this year. Jacob was in the city Thursday and went to County Treasurer J. H. Vogelwede’s office to settle Ins fall installment of taxes. He took out a roll of paper money containing eighty dollars in bills and count- i ed off twenty dollars, then reached ' in another pocket and paid the remaining sura in silver. He replaced . his pocket book in his pocket and I walked out, carelessly leaving his roll of sixty dollars on t’ ■ rail. He never missed it until he reached Newville, where he went the same day on business, then he remembered what he had done. He hastened here yesterday, but the money had not been given to Mr. Voglewede, I as was rather expected. Mr. Loser ’ offers a liberal reward for the. return of his money. GRAVEL ROAD. ' Petition for Another Mile in This , Township. A petition for the extension of the East Washington macadam I road, signed by James H. Tucker ' and about eighty or ninety other citizens of Adams county was filed at the auditor's office today, for consideration by the beard of commissioners at the regular session next week. The road is one mile ' long beginning at the present east term inis of the aforesaid stone road I and runing east to the St. Marys I township line. The road is one I much traveled and is greatly desired by Mr. Tucker and others inter- I ested. The election will no doubt I be ordered and the road will very I probably carry.' A GOOD TIME. 1 Forty Guests Enjoy Columbian Dance. ' About twenty young couple triped the light fantastic until the wee small hours of morning, at the Hal- 1 low’een dance given by the Colum- I bian Club, at their club rooms last I evening. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion and i everybody present seemed to be en- I joying themselves. The music I was furnished by the rag-time or- I chsetra, Fristoe and Miller, and the time they kept gave perfect satisfaction to everyone present. The dance was certainly a success and many were the compliments jiassed on the club for the way it was | handled and everyone voted them ' as swell entertainers. CATARRH CURED WITHOUT DRUGS. i Hyomei Medicates the Air You Breathe. Kills the Germs and Cures the Disease. Hyotnei cures catarrh thoroughly I and permanently, because it reach- ' es the smallest air cells in the head, throat and lungs, kills the germs causing the disease and drives it from the system. Hyomei goes to the root of the disease, destroys the cause, aud makes permanent cures which can be affected in no other way. Breathe it for a few minutes four times a day and benefit will be seen at onco. Continue this treatment for a few weeks and Hyomei will have cured you. The Hyomei breathed through the neat vest pocket inlialer furnished with each outfit mingles with the air yon breathe.
