Will Vote on Question of Nominating by Convention in Future. A meeting of the Wells county ■ democratic central comimttee was ■ held last Saturday and the date for their primary was set for Saturday, i January 2, while the time seems I short it seems to have been the genoral wish as the vote for this date was nearly unanimous. The party will vote on the question of pri mary or convention for selecting i candidates in the future. A resol iti mto submit a at the p i mary the propv sition to elect delegates to state, judical and congressional conventions in each precinct instead of having them selected by the precinct committeemen was , 1 ist by u vote of fifteen to sixteen i The opinion seems to be that the ■effect to nominate by convention • will be voted down and the pri- | mary inethixl will continue as in 'the past. Wells county will elect about the same officers this year as I does Adams.

AN OLD ONE. I An Indiana Exhibit at the World’s Fair. Rockefeller Mansion May be Moved to St. Louis Next Year. Indiana may have a centennial of her own at the St. Louis exposition next year which is to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the ceiling of the Louisiana purchase territory to the United States, if the plans of the Indiana World's Fair commissioners work out right. Hidden away in a small valley in Franklin county south of Brookville is an old log I cabin typical of the dwellings oci cupied by the early settlers of Indi iana. The cabin is the homester lof the Rockefeller family. The house was built by John Rockefeller, who came to this state from New Jersey in 1804. Accordingly it will be 100 years old next year, the year of the great exposition. Some of the Indiana World's Fair ■ commissioners think it would be 1 a good plan to move the old cabin to St. Louis as a par< of the Indiana exhibit there, or to reproduce the Cabin. This plan was disenssd at the meeting of the commissionres held here 1 ist week, awl while no definite action was taken in the matter, the project seemed to meet with approval. It is probable that steps will be taken in the n" tr future to see whether it i will lx> possible to secure the old ' cabin for the purpose of removing : it to St. Louis. AT IT AGAIN. Hughes in the Bluffton Jail. Young Scott Hughes, whose police record in this part of the states is well known was arrested Friday night at Poneto. He and Raj- Mock, another Bluffton tough were intoxicated and caused a disturbance on the interurban. Mock was put off the car between Montpelier and Poneto and then Scott wanted to shoot the conductor. He was arrested by the Poneto marshal and taken to Bluffton and placed in jail where he continued to raise | trouble and tried to demolish all I the furniture. He plead guilty Saturday and staid a fine of $13.50. Marriage Licenses. Herman Hart to Bessie Venice. Samuel Helen to Amanad J. . W estfall. William Alfred B dlinger to Miranda Vioal Grol.

A TIGHT SQUEEZE. Rachel Lewis Ccmpany’s Goods Attached. The Rachel Lewis repetoire company left town Saturday night but it tooK a struggle to do so. Though they have a company above the average they seem to lx> having a run of tough luck and their total receipts here lacked about fifty dollars of paying expenses. Their | goods were attached by Mr. Murray I for board bill and it began to look as though the company’s career was over for a while at least. Finally the manager, Mr. Palmer aranged by means of watches, jewlry , etc., to satisfy Mr. Murray and he released them. They left for Richmond where they play this week, and where they hope to get over the strain that now seems to be worrying them. OBITUARY.

Hasten onward to the grave; Earthly joys and pleasure perish Time can nothing, nothing save. All is fading, all is fleeing; Earthly flames must cease to glow. Earthly beings cease from being Eirthly blossoms cease to blow. Yet unchanged, while all decayeth. Jesus lives, the first, the last, Lean on Me alone He sayeth "Hope and Love, and firmly Trust.' — Have you read Hensley’s ad yet'? Buy your winter's supply of hard i coal at the Henning A? Co. yards.
