The Woman of Taste . Takes much pride in the appearj9 anc e of her footware. If she is wearing a ‘ KRII u ’KXDORF” shoe she has no HhEhT disquieting doubts about this matter. hBMHBB She knows that she is correctly shod and WBW that they are “a treat for the feet”. The shoe for women is the perfect embodiment of quality, style and fanish and has the individuality of the high grade costom made shoe.

The "Humpty Dumpty” company has made all arrangements with Manager Bosse to produce this popular J play at the opera house on next Mon-, day evening. The company comes with a good reputation and will no doubt be greeted with a packed house. The oil market took a leap Monday morning. Eastern advanced 5 cents and western 2 cents on the barrel. Indiana oil is now quoted at 87 cents on a barrel. This is the only move in the oil quotations since August 28, 1906. Operators are hopeful that it will go higher.

Oscar Way of Ossian, who pitched for Cairo, in the Three I League last season, has signed this year with Springfield in the same organization. During the winter months he has been teaching school and was recently married to Miss Belvia Bowman. Oscar, as a twirler, seems to have a promising future ahead of him.

Sprunger got it in the neck—and that at Geneva, too, by Esquire Veeley, for continuing to sell liquor without a license in Berne. He was fined S2O and costs amounting to $5. Attorney L. C. DeVoss of Decatur, defended him and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Emil Franz was assisted by Frank M. Cottrell of this place. Next Tuesday he will face the music in the circuit court at Decatur, and listen to two tunes which will unquestionably wind up by sending him to jail. Very likley he will ask for a change of venue to another county, but as it did in this case, it will only add to his costs. —Berne Witness. Over at Fort Wayne, a ‘’hayseed’’ went up to the railroad lunch counter, seated himself on a stool, placed his bright colored carpetbag on the next stool and partook of a hearty lunch. He passed the man a dollar bill to take out the price of the lunch, 60 cents, and was surprised when the young man said: "Not any change, sir, your carpetbag occupied a seat and we must collect for that." The old man looked dazed for a second oply and then replied: "All right," and, opening the bag, "Old Carpebag, I have paid for your lunch and you shall have it." Quicker than a flash he threw in a mince pie, a plate ot doughnuts, and several sandwiches, and departed amid the shouts of every one in the station.
