Princess tonight —♦ — PICTURE. The Three Cherry Pits or The Veteran’s Honor. SONG. My Valley Home in Illinois,

Dr. A. R. Kresler was in Chicago today. Sweet apples and quinces.—Home Grocery. John Schultz and wife and little son went to Chicago today for a short vis - it with relatives. Delos Thompson arrived home this morning from Sullivan where he had been on business. Wanted, at once, two lady Clerks, experienced or inexperienced* Ransford’s Department Store. Mrs. L. E. Pennell took her little son to Chicago today to be operated on for the removal of his tonsils and adenoids. W. W. Reeve is carrying the mail between the postQfflce and the depot, substituting for Tommy O’Meara, whose mother is very sick. Shelby is now legally “dry.” The Peterson saloon license expired last Saturday. This means a longer trip for the boozers and more profit for the railroad company. My loan company is still making farm loans at 5 per cent. If you are going to need a loan make application now as some other companies are already refusing to loan. John A. Dunlap, I. O. 0. F. Bldg. John English has been having some improvements made at his farm in Barkley township, which is occupied by Anton Truly. The barn has been ieshingled and painted and a new corn crib and shed are being built. G. F. Deschand is doing the work. Dr. Charles Fidler left this morning for Milwaukee, Wis., where he is engaged in the practice of medicine. He is giving as much attention as possible to general surgery, being connected with St. Luke’s hospital. His expectation is to eventually engage exclusively in surgical practice.

John Wolf, of Molina, Colo., sent $1 yesterday to E. L. Clark to pay for having his name placed on the Milroy soldiers’ monument. He was a member of the 9th Indiana regiment and will be remembered by our oldest citizens. He is 84 years of age and has lived in Colorado for a great many years. Jerry Healy attended the funeral Sunday at Hanover Center of Father Zumbuelte, whose sudden death occurred at Hammond last Wednesday. The service was conducted by Bishop Alerding, of Fort Wayne, and about fifty priests were in attendance. Realizing that there would be a large attendance at the funeral and that there was no adequate means of caring for them, the members of the Catholic church had prepared a big free dinner, which followed the funeral. Rev. Zumbuelte was one of the best known and most highly esteemed priests in the dioce&e and there was great sorrow at his death. At the meeting of the Board of Education Monday an order was made that any children of the county in the 6th, 6th, 7th and Bth grades might be excused from school to attend the county Sunday school convention to be held at Rensselaer Oct. 12. and 13. Provision was also made that before the teacher would excuse absence a written statement ffrom parent that child was present at the convention on the day or days on which child -was absent from school must be supplied. This seemed a wise movement, as there will be several talks by able men at the convention, and it will be quite a privilege for the children of the county to be present.

Dr. J. Hansson and family are grieving for the loss of their big St. Bernard dog, which died Monday. The animal weighed 240 pounds and death was produced by dropsy. Dr. Hanssor. states that the animal has been discontented since leaving Monon and he believes the dropsy was superinduced by worry and lonesomeness. When the doctor came home at noon the dog raised up one of his great paws and as the doctor caught hold of it, he said, "Well, you’re pretty sick, aren’t you,” and the St. Bernard affectionately leaned his head over against the shoulder of his master and moaned a sort of affirmative reply, in a few minutes the dog was dead and there was sorrowing throughout the household. - > * Those who use the Pillsbury flour never have any trouble in getting good bread. Rhoades Grocery handles this celebrated flour. Don’t steal another man’s good name, even if your own Is worn out.

Coons Were Very, Very Bum And Manager Ellis Ousted Them.

The combination of white trash and coons that undertook to give a show at the Ellis opera house Monday night was the worst lot that ever appeared before the footlights, according to those who saw them and Manager Ellis was of the same opinion. They were to have been here all week, but one night was plenty, too much, and Manager Ellis cancelled the engagement and the outfit pulled out for Monon this morning, where they will try to show tonight. Mrs. Rebecca Hurley, of Roseville, who came here a few weeks ago to attend a meeting of Dunkards, and fell and sustained a fracture of her left arm and also a bad bruise on her head and face, left today for her home. She has been at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. N. J. Burget, near Aix, for some time. She was accompanied to her home by her niece, Miss Edith Hurley. Wedding invitations are simply a polite form of blackmail, whereby two people manage to obtain enough goods under false pretenses to enable them to start housekeeping. Why pay 6c for 11 or 12 ounces of bread when you can get 16 oz. of high class Quaker bread at Fate’s Quaker bread factory. Keep the speech of Congressman Crumpacker in mind. It will be delivered in Rensselaer next Wednesday evening. Soothes itching skin. Heals cuts or burns without a scar. Cures piles, eczema, salt ' rheum, any itching. Doan’B Ointment. Your druggist sells it Don’t look a gift horse In the mouth. Sell him for what you can get and let the other fellow look. . „ “I suffered habitually from constipation. Doan’s Regulets relieved and strengthened the bowels, so that they have been regular ever since.”-—A. E. Davis, grocer. Sulphur Springs, Tex. A Classified Adv. will sqll it

Horse Show Notes.

It is worth repeating. Don’t let getting beat discourage you. You may win out next year. Wonder why some attention could not ba paid another year to dairy stock. This is becoming a great dairy country and we should encourage the raising of the best. Possibly other things might be added to diversify the fair. It is certain that some free attrations will have to be provided for another show, also. Ruth, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus Rice, who won the riding contest for girls, is quite expert with horses. She is 9 years old and has the misfortune of being a mute, but she is thorougly capable of managing a horse, and, mounted on a big sorrel, she made him go all the gaits and was graceful and self-composed throughout the contest. She attends the Indiana school for the deaf, for which place she left Sunday. Her father, who lives in Bentofi county, 6Ms miles south of Remington, was one of the exhibitors at the horse show who attracted a great deal of attention and figured as a close cpmpetitor in everything in which he made entries. He brought over 12 head of horses and mules and won a number of premiums. > Mr. Rice is a good horseman and a good all-round farmer and the showing he made was first class.

Michael Ringeissen’s fine grey imported Percheron team, for which he paid $1,050 only a few months ago, was given the second prize in the team contest. One of the mares has been nursing a colt and was not in the best show shape and the other might have been a little fatter. They are a fine team, however, but not so tall nor in as good show condition as the team with which Cyrus Rice took first prize. No farmer could attend the horse show last week and not feel the necessity for and the desire of improving his stock. Good stock costs but little more to breed, no more to raise and is worth more to keep and vastly more to sell. These stock shows inspire better breeding, better care of animals and have a general and permanent benefit in the community.

The following suggestion for a county fair is published just as offered and looks good to us, if suitable grounds can be procured: “A very noticable feature of the horse show last week was the number of horses that were shqwn by boys and young men. This shows the interest that our young people are taking in farm life. With our ypung men taking an active interest in live stock exhibitions, four of our boys at Lake Winona agricultural college, three at the agricultural college at Purdue, one at Illinois agricultural college, considerable interest being taken in the rural schools in agriculture, and the rising interest in land production all over the county, is there not a bright outlook for the rural life of "the county? Would not the time be ripe to re-establish the County Fair and have a first class exhibition of all farm and live stock products, together with plenty of clean, healthy entertainment?”

Crumpacker Speech Will Be Held At Opera House Instead of Princess.

The opera house being available by the cancellation of the show company date, County Chairman Leopold has decided to hold the Crumpacker meeting there instead of at the Princess as heretofore announced. The opera house will hold more and give all whcf attend an opportunity to be seated. The meeting will be tomorrow, Wednesday night. Come out and hear an able speech.

Mrs. D. H. Yeoman Passed Away at 1 O’clock This P. M.

Man From Chalmers Murders His Wife Near Peppertown.

An appalling murder was committed Monday morning at Peppertown, near Brookville. Charles Biddle, of Chalmers, who had been living apart from his wife for the past two weeks, went to the home of his wife’s uncle with whom she had sought refuge and apparently they were about to make up their difficulties. Biddle went to the house Sunday afternoon and spent the night there. The next morning he took a shotgun and blew his wife’s head off while she lay in bed. He then poured coal oil over the bed clothing and made his escape. He was thought to have gone to Cincinnati, but Monday afternoon went to Brookston, not far from Chalmers, where he was recognized and shadowed until officers had arrested him. He claimed that he had not committed the murder but that some one else had opened fire at him and his wife and that he had fled and did not know that his wife had been killed until he saw it in an Indianapolis newspaper. A very unlikely story. He was taken to Lafayette and placed in Jail. He is about 28 years of age and his wife was 23.

Kellner to Move Both Ice Houses to Bank of Ice Pond.

Conrad Kellner, the ice man, will move both of his lee houses to the bank of his pond on the south side of the river. One of the ice houses is now at his residence in the east part of town and the other at the river bank south of the Shedd property. With the ice houses at the pond bank the ice will be hustled right into the houses from the pond by means of chutes and hauling at the packing season be dispensed with. Cooney is a progressive ice man and it is doubtful if there was ever any better natural ice put up than he filled his houses with last year.
