T ”E PRIZE WINNERS (Continual from Page 1.) jewel, is evidenced by the fact and manni i in which he does his scoring and with what dispatch and promptness he scores each bird, and every contestant in the show is loud in his praise concerning Mr. Hathaway’s work. That he is honest and conscientious can be readily seen when he is at work scoring a bird, as he pays no attention to curious onlookers, never answers a question unless it comes from his attendant and judges the merits of the fowl by the rules and regulations which govern every show of this description and picks out the flaws and fine points regardless of who the bird belongs to. This feature alone is what the management of the show likes and is also what the people like, as he shows the same degrees of fairness to one and all. Mr. Hathaway has clearly demonstrated that this is not his first attempt at 1 scoring fowls, as he handles them in a manner that discloses professionalism and bears out the reputation that preceded him. Yesterday and last evening he scored over a hundred and fifty birds and the following were the prize winners: S. C. B. Leghorns. tV alter Thornhill, of Geneva, first on cockerel, third on pullet and first on hen. S. S. Magley, second on cockerel, first on pullet, second on pullet, fourth on cockerel and fourth on pullet. F. A. Peoples, third on cockerel. R. C. B. Leghorns, Charles Magley, first on cockerel, first and second on cock, first on hen, second on hen, first third ahd fourth on pullet. Mrs. E. S. Christen, second on pullet and fourth on hen. S. C. W. Leghorns. Lose & Sons, first on cockerel, second on cockerel, second on hen, first, second, third and fourth on pullet. Harry O. Grove, first, third and fourth on hen. R. C. W. Leghorns. Charles Ewell, first on cockerel, and first, second, third and fourth on pullet R. C. B. Minorcas. C. D. F. Bieberick, second on cockerel. S. C. B. Minorcas. Dick Holbrock, second on cockerel. These were all of the prize winners that were scored yesterday and this morning Judge Hathaway started in to score the American class of birds, under which comes the following breeds of chickens: Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Javas, American Dominiques and Rhode Island Reds, and the rivalry in these classes promise to be exciting and close. The management this morning received their four silver cups that will be awarded as special prizes and they are beauties and are the admiration of all who see them, and the party who wins one may certainly feel proud, indeed. The financial end of the show is being attended to by Miss Maggie Peoples and Dr. H .E. Leßrun and they certainly attend to their duties well, and if anyone gets in without paying they are certainly sly ones. If you have not taken a trip through the show, do so at your earliest convenience as the same is worth your time and attention. Judge Hathaway devoted the entire afternoon to judging the American class of chickens and the scores for these birds will not be totaled up until this evening and the winners will not be known until tomorrow morningThe hall was packed this afternoon by fanciers of well-bred chickens and the management of the show has been overwhelmed with compliments and praises. The show will be open this evening os Judge Hathaway announced that he would work until nine oclock this evening in scoring. Thus those who attend this evening will be afforded the opportunity of witnessing this world's renowned man. o ~ ELLEN MARIE DEBOLT.

HIS LAST CCONFESSION (Continued from Page 1.) night, the weather had become much colder and I advised my wife to stay with some of the congregation, as I would get back home and look after the house and see that nothing was damaged by freezing. “She was jealous of me and another woman and, attributing to my suggestion some sinister motive, she declared she would go home with me. I readily consented of her doing so and she complained of me all the way home. After we returned home we continued the quarrel and she became persistent, even keeping it up after we retired. Then I turned my back to her and went to sleep. J'About mdinight I awakened and found her standing over me with a revolver in one hand and a razor in the other, declaring that she was going ( to kill me. I sprang up and grappled with her, but she slashed me with the razor and shot me with the revolver, fraught her arm to keep her from shooting me again and in the scuffle that followed the revolver wtfk discharged, the bullet striking and killing her. z “With my wife dead, I did not know what to do. So I went outside, discharged the revolver two or three times and cried ‘Burglars!’ When the neighbors came I told them the burglar story.” The above confesson was kept secret during the years which elapsed since the famous crime was committed. o DEATH OF MRS. PETER WEESE Was a Well Known Lady in Huntington County. Word was received in this city this afternoon of the death at Decatur at 1:45 of Mrs. Peter Weese, death being due to heart disease and asthma with which she had been afflicted for years. This morning word was received that she was in a dying condition and Mrs. H. G. Weese of this city arranged to go to her bedside, Mr. Weese being out of the city. Later news of the death was received. Mrs. Peter Weese was born at Defiance, Ohio, about seventy years ago. Possibly forty years ago she married Peter Weese and they made their home in Huntington county a number of years before moving to Dowagiac, Mich., where they lived for several years before returning to this county about seven years ago. This winter Mr. and Mrs. Weese have been making their home with their daughter, Mrs. W. H. Lindsley at Decatur. There her health has declined and the end came today. Mesdames Rosamond Burch of San Jose, Cal., W. H. Hurst of Dowagiac, Mich., and W. H. Lindsley of Decatur, are daughters.. H. G. Weese of this city, is a step-son, and one or two others survive. Whether the funeral will be held in this city or in Ohio has not been learned, but it is probable it will be from the Mehodist church in this city, arrangements to be announced later. Mr. and Mrs. Weese during their residence in Huntington county were well and favorably known, being looked upon in recent years as among the older people of the county. —Huntington Herald. The remains will be taken to Huntington at noon Friday over the Erie, where the funeral services will be conducted and interment made. — o OBITUARY. In memory of Charles E. Bixler, who was born at Geneva, Indiana, January 16th, 1885, and met death at Lima, Ohio, December 4, 1906. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home. Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love had given, And though the body moulders here, The soul is safe in Heaven. ’Tis hard to break the tender cord When love has bound the heart; 'Tis hard, so hard to speak the words, “We must forever part.” Dearest loved one, we must lay thee In the peaceful grave’s embrace, But thy memory will be cherished, 'Til we see thy heavenly face. A FRIEND. _ ——o>— — the lob ditch assessments The last day for the payment of these assessments on Monday, February 4, 1907, If not paid by the above date, bonds will be issued and sold and these bonds will include all costs of this issue of bonds, together with six per cent interest.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY The Holthouse Drug Co. will Refund Money if Mi-o-na Fails to Cure. You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by the Holthouse Drug Co under a guarantee to refund the money unless they cure, when no other treatment for stomach troubles is sold in this manner. The answer is simple and conclusive. Other medicines for stomach troubles merely digest the food, while Mi-o-na strengthens the whole digestive system so that it soon becomes able to care for all the food that is eaten. If you do not use you arm or leg for a month the muscles become flabby and weak and you have to resort to artificial help. It is the same way with the stomach muscles. If they are not used, they become so weak that it is necessary to continue using a digestive with the food you eat. On the other hand, when you use Mi-o-na, your stomach soon grows so strong that you can give up the use of medicine. Mi-o-na costs 50c a box and does more real good than a dozen boxes of ordinary digestive tablets. The proof of this is shown in the fact that a guarantee, absolute and unqualified, is given by The Holthouse Drug Co. with every box of Mi-o-na. - o TWO WOMEN ARE ELIGIBLE For Free Scholarship in Agricultural •S'.'.ool.
