There will be a meeting of the Adams County Central Committee at Decatur, Saturday. November 28,1903, at 9 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of arranging time for holding the Democratic Primary Election, and to transact such other business that may come before the committee. J. W. McKean, Chairman. It is the consensus of democratic opinion that the democrats have much in the election at which to rejoice. We more than held our own in the state of Massachusetts; we kept our own in the little state of Rhode Island by re-electing our governor; we carried the state of Maryland not only for the state ticket but for United States Senator; we carried Kentucky by an increased majority which eternally puts the kibosh on republican assassination in that state; we reduced the majority in the roekribbed republican state of lowa by at least 20,000, and we made a clean sweep of the great city of New York. The latter was a great v ictory for more than one reason. It was a victory for the great common people for home rule, for democratic methods, and a defeat for hypocrity, false pretense, the rule of the corporation and the aristocrat, a cold bath for the bootlicks and sycophats who whine about the knees of predatory wealth.

PROUD OF IT. Rev. Simms Was an Athlete in the Old Days. A Peculiar Document Filed Recently by a Former Indiana Preacher. One of the most unique documents ever presented to County Recorder Fleming for record was the one presented yesterday by Rev. James M. Simms, of Nebraska who is visiting friends in this county, says the Montpelier Call. The old gentleman was an athlete in his younger days of no mean ability and he evidently desires that future generations shall know of his ability in athletics. Following is the document. “We the undersigned do hereby certify that we have seen James M. Simms at different times, during the years from 1858 to 1865, jump over sticks held above the head of the tallest men, making a clear jump of at least six feet two inches. We have also seen him run and jump twenty-one feet at a single bound. We have seen him stand and jump four feet high. These feats were performed frequently and with apparent ease. Signed, John Graves, Gavlin Fottner, Thos Pepples.” MASONIC WORK. A Number From Here Attend Scottish Rite. Th?

WOMEN IIHMSH The Ruling Passion Proved Too Meeh For Fair Sex At Big Wedding. Ten Thousand Curious Women Throng Fifth Avenue During American Girl’s Marriage to Duke. They Literally Had to Be Dragged Away by the Heels and Driven From the Church New York, Nov. 11. —Scandalous scenes marked the vicinity of St. Thomas church last evening in eonnection with the marriage of the Duke of Roxburgh and Miss May Goelet. Fifth avenue in the vicinity of SL Thomas church was the scene before and during the ceremony, of excitement and disorder unparalleled at any of the previous great weddings in New York. From the church to the Goelet residence, a distance of five blocks, the avenue was a surging mob numbering fully 10,000 persons, mostly women, whom a force of 200 policemen was powerless to hold in check. Before the service began several hundred women gained entrance to the church and seated themselves in the galleries, from which they were forcibly dislodged by a squad of police a few minutes before the arrival of the bride. When the carriage containing the bride to be and her brother. Robert Goelet. neared the church, it was surrounded by women, who stopped the horses, and in their efforts to see the bride clung to the carriage, come of them getting on the step and thrusting their heads into the open windows. Mr. Goelet called to the police, but it was some moments before the half dozen policemen who rushed to the rescue were able to drive the curious women back and enable the carriage to proceed. When the carriage of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, which was just ahead of the bride, reached the canopy leading from the curb to the church, the crowd of women banked up twen-ty-five feet on either side, rushed frantically forward, carrying the solid lines of policemen with them, and for a moment choked the entrance They were forced back only to again rush forward when the bride’s carriage drew up. By this time policemen from other points had been collected there, but in spite of them a group of half a dozen women stooped down and lifted the canvas of the canopy and crawled part way under. They crawled to t'neir positions notwithstanding all the efforts of the police to pull them away, and several of them managed to keep tbeir heads under the canvas until the bride had passed up. A patrolman caught one very well dressed woman by one of her ankles and dragged her along the walk, she still clinging to the canvas, until she was forced to loose her hold. She was lifted up smiling and satisfied She had seen the bride. On the Fifty-third side of the ehurcb fifteen well-dressed women crawled down into a coal hole leading underneath the chancel. They could not see anything, but they could hear what was going on above. Policemen had to get in and drive them out. Four hours after the ceremony Fifth avenue was still crowded with curious women, many of whom were laden with spoils from the church decorations. for after ide invited guests had left the mob crowded into the church and proceeded at once to tear the chrysanthemums and lilies from ’ha pew entrances. In a few minutes they began to break the leaves from the palms, and before they could be stopped the church was despoiled of its flora! decorations. Honeymoon st Newport. Newport, R. 1., Nov. 11. —The Duke and Duchess of Roxburgh? arrived at 11 o’clock last night and will spend the first week of their'honeymoon at Ochre Court, the home of the bride's mother.

BROKE ALL RECORDS Land Office Business at Crookston Was Spirited. Crookston, Minn Nov 11 —The government land office was thrown open for the receipt of entries on the Red Lake lands yesterday. A large number of men and several women, after having spent almost all of their life time savings to reach the land and hovering about the land office two days and standing in line several hours, went through it all in vain. Someone else got ahead of them. Three women and two men fainted. Men would not abandon their places in the line to go to their rescue as they fell. For the most part the .Ights were fair and no foul methods were employed except in the case of A. J. Olsen. Elk River. Minn., worn out and exhausted, was given a hard fight by a rival claimant, who continually struggled to get ahead. Both made through the crowd to the door, and just as it was almost time to open the office, a heavy blow was landed on Olsen's stomach and he fell unconscious. The rush broke all records for land office business anywhere In the Northwest. The total filings numbered '72. and about as many more were disappointed. BRIEF DISPATCHES. Signor !to»»no.

Struggle as they may the parents find themselves unable to do more than keep life in the child, and in their desperation they are willing to try any remedy or food which may be suggested to them by their neighbors or friends.
