At Least That is the Belief of Many Who Attended Bert Souder's Big Sale Last Week.

A Kennard special in the New Castle Courier says: That the foreign horse buyers, who are making the rounds of the Henry county sales, are in a combination was evidenced at Bert Souder's stock sale Friday when three buyers were present and but one of the trio did the bidding. All three represented different stables.

The action of the buyers reduced the prices of horses which were worth more money than for which they were sold. The unwarranted combination has aroused the farmers and stock dealers and threats of reprisals are heard on all sides.

In spite of the combination the Souder sale was one of the best of the year. It was largely attended, due to judicious advertising by Mr. Souder and the results were entirely satisfactory.

The first five horses offered sold for an average of $350 each. The highest priced team was sold for $760 and the first thirty horses passed under the hammer at an average of $257.80.

Cattle and hogs sold well. Corn in the field brought $25 an acre. The total sale amounted to $10,570.

CIRCUIT COURT NEWS

A Few Cases Disposed Of—Jury Will Be Called in Next Monday.

The Circuit Court was in session Tuesday morning and took action in a few cases as follows:

In the case of Nellie Hiday vs. Paul and Mary Hiday, for partition of real estate, report of the sale of real estate was filed, deed ordered and approved.

The petition of Edgar P. Rock, administrator of the estate of W. H. H. Rock, deceased, to sell real estate, was dismissed.

The case of E. R. Sisson vs. Alice Shinn for $100 on account, was dismissed.

Fred Gephart was granted a divorce from Bertha Gephart, on pay ment of costs.

The case of the State against Robert Cottrell, charged with petit larceny, was dismissed by the Prosecutor.

A. motion was filed to dismiss the ease of the State vs. Cordia Martin, •charged with aiding prisoners to escape from jail, because of failure to prosecute.

The charge of drawing a deadly weapon against John L. Holiday was dismissed on written nollie of •ihe prosecutor.

There are but few criminal cases on the docket for the present term. The jury will be called in Monday for the first time.

Says an exchange: Many a girl without the slightest talent for music is running a piano who should be making bonnets or bread and many a boy is studying for a profession whose proper sphere is the machine shop or the mill many a man is S[/iil(ing up churches who ought to be doing service in some institution of learning, teaching or working on a farm, and many a woman is trying in vain to be a leader of society when she should be a model housewife in her own home.

Some men and women have easy times, but that does not mean happy times. The easy men and women do not look as might be expected. They struggle under the load of ease. When they laugh they only make-believe laugh. Having such an easy time they become lazy and their bones become stiff their heads become clogged up, and their hearts become hard. If the inhabitants of "Easy Street" had to scratch for a living the result would be that they would have less trouble with dyspepsia.

A Novel Feature.

The Rushville Republican was given over today to "ye olden editors," who are "getting out" the paper. Half a dozen former editors, reporters and managers are doing all the work, from writing the two line locate to the four-deck headed articles and leading editorials.

Divides Her Attention Between Two Kittens and Two Young Babbits

William Richey, who lives southwest of the city, has a cat that is just as affectionate with a couple of young rabbits as she is with her own kittens. The cat has two kittens and the other morning Mr. Richey happened to look into the nest and noticed four little animals there. An investigation revealed the fact that two of the animals were rabbits about the same age of the kittens. The mother cat divides her attention between the occupants of the nest, showing no favor or preference for her own kind.

Mr. Richey's theory is that the cat killed the mother of the rabbits and then carried the young ones to her own nest, where she is caring for them.

CAT MOTHERS RABBITS THE POSSIBILITIES OF

BE HELD

Agreement of Liverymen and Hackmen at Ft, Wayne Will Make it Almost Impossible.

Ft. Wayne, Ind.—Except in cases of death from contagious disease that make immediate burial imperative, it will be practically impossible hereafter to get carriages for a Sunday funeral in Ft. Wayne. This new ban on Sunday funerals has been placed by the Liverymen & Hackmen's Protective Association the membership of which includes nearly all the livery establishments in the city. The agreement goes into effect today. Clergymen, liverymen, funeral directors and cemetery authorities here have been for several years warring on the Sunday funeral, but up to this time have not been able to eliminate it. The new step is the most drastic yet taken, and in all probabilities will put an end to the practice of setting Sunday as the date for funerals.

Sentences That Bead Equally As Well Backward as Forward— Work of "Puzzle Editor"

The English language has its possibilities as well as its impossitilities. One of its curious possibilities is the construction of sentences so that they will read equally as well backward as forward. Here are some which an English "puzzle editor" has patched up out of the dictionary: "Scandalous society and life make gossips frantic." "Solomon had vast treasures—silver and gold things precious. Happy and rich and wise was he. Faithfully served he God." "She sits lamenting sadly, often too much alone." "Man is noble and generous often, but sometimes vain and cowardly." "Carefully boiled eggs are good and palatable." "Love is heaven and heaven is love, youth says. All beware! says age. Trying is poverty and fleeting is love." "Badly governed and fearfully troubled now is Ireland." "Adieu, darling! Time flies fast sails are set, boats are ready. Farewell!"

Politics and religion avoid arguing in. Here is good and sound advice."

Honesty in Advertising. The necessity of literal, exact truth for successful advertising was given a foremost emphasis at the meeting of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America at Boston, says the Anderson Herald, last week. One speaker declared amid applause that a code of ethics for advertising could be made out of just one word, that word to be "honest." To this, he said, might be added the golden rule.

The profession of advertising has within the past decade attracted the devoted energy of a host of the very brightest men in our country. They have pretty thoroughly learned the principle that the only way to build a successful business is on the foundation of the satisfied customer.

The dissatisfied customer is not an asset. In fact, he is very much of a liability. Any business man of keen perceptions would far rather that such a customer should never have entered his establishment. The slight profit that may be made off the stuff he bought is far more than offset by the left-handed advertising that he supplies to his friends to vent his dissatisfaction.

The only way to secure a satisfied customer is to-represent goods precisely as they are. If the goods have defects, and the nature and extent of these defects are fully explained by the seller, the customer is never dissatisfied. Often he rather enjoys the defects, as he feels that they do not injure the goods for his purpose, but have been the means of enabling him to make a saving in price. He boasts of his bargain to his friends, and points out the faults, to show how essentially trifling they were, compared with the reduction that they made possible.

The customer would soon have discovered such defects, even had the seller remained silent about them. In that case, even if he bought the goods low, he would forever believe that he had been defrauded.

The United Brethren Aid Society will meet at the home of Mrs. Little on Parke avenue Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A good attendance is desired.

Jesse D. Hughes, who has been quite ill for several days, is now improving.

Indiana Schools Are Given Praise As the Best.

Indiana's educational system was given high praise by P. P. Claxton, National Commissioner of Education, who visiied Indianapolis last Thursday, says the Indianapolis Sun. "Indiana's school laws are among the best in the nation, and the state's educational facilities and products rank among the highest," he declared.

Commissioner Claxton conferred with Charles A. Greathouse, superintendent of public instruction, during the day. It is his plan to develop the national department of education into a positive force which will make it a recognized authority for the state departments. To do this, he expects to surround himself with a force of strong educators and at least one Indiana man is being considered for a place in the bureau.

MORE BUSINESS ACTIVITY

Is Expected, Following Dog Days, Which Are Now Over.

Dog days, the period of the year when contention, strife, bickering and inharmony of every kind seem to prevail more than at any other time of the year, has ended, and we have the month with "r" in it, the season of the oyster, county fair, happier associations and increased business activities. The latter feature is much to be desired by local mercantile concerns in all lines and an extension of trade should again be sought after. It is not meet, however, that expectancy should wait on promises, because while we are waiting some other fellow, who is wideawake, may slip in and get the business. A good thing to do is not to wait until the time is ripe for fall business, but arrange for an extended business by a liberal line of advertising right now.

Great Advantage to Working Men.

J. A. Maple, 125 S. 7th St., Steubenville, O., says: "For years I suffered from weak kidneys and a severe bladder trouble. I learned of Foley Kidney Pills and their wonderful cures, so I began taking them and sure enough I had as good results as any I heard about. My backache left me and to one of my business, expressman, that alone is a great advantage. My kidneys acted free and normal, and that saved me a lot of misery. It is now a pleasure to work where it used to be a misery. Foley Kidney Pills have cured me and have my highest praise." M. C. Quigley.'

Issues Stamp Order.

The postoffice department has issued an order barring absolutely from the mails any matter bearing, either on the observe or reverse side, stamps resembling the government insignia.

Serious inconvenience in handling the mails from particular localities is being experienced by the postal authorities on account of gen oral use of adhesive stamps other than United States postage stamps.

In view of the trouble experienced from the use of the Red Cross stamps during the last Christmas holiday period, Postmaster General Hitchcock issued a general order that no adhesive stamps except the United States postage stamps should be attached to the address side of a letter or package.

Tens of thousands of memorial and charity stamps are now being issued, including Panama Exposition stamps, various state exposition stamps and what are known as the McNamara Legal Defense Fund stamps, authorized by the American Federation of Labor.

Mr. and Mrs. Adam Horine, of Greenville, Ohio, are guests of Mr. and Mrs. John V. Rosser. They are the parents of Mrs. Rosser.
