Obituary. Elizabeth Marks was born in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania Nov. 6, 1834, died April 5, 1904 aged 69 years, 4 months and 29 days. At the age of seventeen she removed to Richland Co., Ohio where on the seventeenth of February 1853 she was married to Wm. Baughman, with whom for fifty one years she shared the sunshine and the shadows of this earthly career. In 1868 she with her husband and family came to Adams Co. where she has resided ever since. When she came to Adams Co., the family located at Salem where they remained for twenty three' years, the remaining thirteen years hav-

ing been spent in Decatur. At the early age of eighteen Mrs. Baughman united with the Presbyterian church jbut her membership was afterwards transferred to the M. E. Church where it remained until the time of her death. She leaves to mourn her departure a kind and affectionate husband, five children and one sister Mrs J B Blotz. The children are as follows: William q. i Baughman of Kenton Ohio., Mrs. 1 Rena Tague residing near Monroe. I Ind.. Miss Mary Baughman of Ft. , Wavne, Ind., Mrs G R Douglas of Chicago. 111., Mrs, L.E. Weaver of ! Decatur. Arkison Baughman who died June 3, 1898. at the home of his parents in a similar manner to the presenfdeoeased. She also leaves to mourn her death eight grand chil dren of whom she" was both proud i and thoughtful . During her life her utmost thought was regarding the comfort of those around her. No work was too great, no task too distastful for her when she < could lessen the cares of those she < loved. Funeral services were i held Thursday afternoon at 2 p i m. conducted by Rev. W. T Patne i Card of Thanks. I take this method of thanking the 1 democrat voters of Adams county for 1 the support given me in my race for 1 county treasurer, and while I was not ' auccessful, I deeire to say I am a 1 democrat and I am for all the nom inees* and will do all iu mv power to swell their majority at the general election. With best wishustoall and j maliee toward none- I beg to rngjain, Yours very truly, W, Yager.

I desire to return my sine** I ’® i thanks to the loyal democrats of Adams county for their united support which was put forth in the recent campaign, which resulted in giving me the nomination for county treasurer. I certainly have reasons to be thankful to the people of the entire county for the loval support I have received, not uulv in the recent victory but also in the two former taCe*. I will never be able to repay my friends for the earnest Support I have been favored with. Again thanking you one and all, I remain Yours very truly. John F. Lacaot. Berne, Ind , April 9, 1904.

Additional Locals. - Mrs. John Myer went to Geneva today to visit with friends. Sam Acker made a business trip to Geneva this morning. Miss Hess of Fort Wayne, arrived today and is the guest of friends. The Bachelor Maids will meet tomorrow evening with Miss Rose 1 Confer on First street, in their . regular social session. Tom Irwin, proprietor of the leading hotel, Warren. Indiana, passed through the city this morning, enroute to Fort Wayne. Tom is quire well known here, especially among the base ball fans, having at one time a swell reputation as a twirler. He has. however, of late, not devoted any of his time to base ball, being interested in hotel business and race horses.

An old negro was taken ill and called in a physician of his race to prescribe for him. But the old man did not seem to get better, and finally a white doctor was summoned. Soon after arriving the latter felt the darkey’s pulse for a moment and then examined his tongue. “Did the doctor take vour temperature ?” “I don't know, sah.” the patient answered feebly. “I hain't missed anything but mah watch."

An Irishman at Fort Wayne, was called upon to give evidence in a shooting affray. “Did you see the i shot fired ?" asked the judge. “No,' sor: but I heard it.” replied the witness. “That is not satisfactory: sit down." As the Irishman turned to go he laughed and was rebuked bv | the magistrate, wno told him it was j contempt of court. “Did yez se me I laugh?” “No; but I heard you?” I I "That is not satisfactory." And then | the court laughed. The new base ball uniforms ar-■' rived this morning, and, owing to some misunderstanding in the order, the pants will be returned, as they ' came padded, and the order called 1 for no padding. They are in every 1 other respect perfect and up to the 1 day, date and hour—swell—and will present a fine appearance on the ball field, the color being black with , white trimmings, which make a nobby contrast. No practice was in- , dulged in yesterday, owing to the in- . ( clemency of the weather, but the men, nevertheless, met and had a general base ball talk. All the men seem anxious for the season to open and for the weather to settle, so the team may be picked and the regular playing order announced. There are a great number of aspirants for positions on the team and the squad of men will be weeded out as soon as the management sees them work out.
