IN taking charge of the Furniture Store recently purchased of the Jay W. Williams heirs, I find it desirable to greatly reduce the stock, and to accomplish this in the least possible time I have decided to mark every article for sale at a greatly reduced price during the season of heaviest furniture buying. This price reduction extends to every article of furniture in the store, except kitchen cabinets, which by contract with the manufacturers can not be sold except at the factory retail price. Everything else has been marked down as low as we could afford to sell it, and there is at least a 10 per cent reduction on it all, and this cut in price extends to as much as 40 per cent on some articles. The price advantage is certain to attract attention and create a great rush for the first choice, and I have decided to give all an equal chance by starting the sale Saturday Morning, Dec. 12, and continuing it to Dec. 31. My clerks have carefully gone over every article, left the old sale price tag and placed over it a new red tag with the reduction price thereon, Both prices are in plain figures and customers can see for themselves that the reduction is actual. Mv motive in making this great sacrifice sale is to condense the stock which is now displayed and stored in several rooms, and to allow the display of new goods that are to arrive on Jan. 1. This is not an effort to sell old and out-of-date furniture, for it is deubtful if there was a better stock in Northern Indiana than the Williams stock, and this means rare bargains in the best furniture.

“MILLIONAIRE” TRAMP

Arrives in City on a Freight TrainWill Help Hoboes. Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 16.—-More than 100 unemployed, including a number of the professional hoboes, lunched on bread, fruit, ginger snaps and coffee at the Vine Street Congegational Church yesterday afternoon at the expense of James Eads Howe, “the Millionaire Tramp.” The throng was fed after Howe had explained his Brotherhood Welfare Association and gave his experiences organising hoboes and unemployed in St. Louis, Philadelphia, New York, Kansas City and other cities. Howe does not run to oratory, but his earnestness impressed the crowd, especially after it was announced that there would be something to eat. Howe inherited a million or bo from his grandfather, Eads, the bridge builder. He believes that he distribute this wealth where it will do the most good, and has organized what he terms a self- ' help association. Headquarters wili

be established in the large cities, and the association will give hobo members a card, which will start them right when they arrive in a strange city. Efforts will be made to give these men employment. Labor bureaus will be established and charity dispensed. Headquarters will be opened here within the next few months. Howe distinguishes between the tramp and the hobo. He says a hobo is a man who travels from city to city—sometimes beating his way on railroad trains and sometimes walking—who is ready to work at any kind of a job, but who spends the greater part of his time traveling. Howe came into the city on the bumpers of a freight train. He left last night for his home in St. Louis, on a passenger train.

RECOUNT IS ORDERED.

Patrick J. Kelleher Wishes to be Sure of Bartholomew County Precinct.

Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 15.—The petition of Patrick J. Kelleher, Democrat, for State Statistician at the last election, asking for a recount of* the vote cast in the Fifth precinct of Bartholomew county, was presented to Judge Hacker, of the Bartholomew Circuit Court, at Columbus, for consideration today. The court found that the proper notice of the petition for a count had been given to J. L. Peetz, Republican candidate for the same office, and the petition was granted, and a recount of the votes cast in the Fifth precinct was ordered -made within tweive days from today. A. C. King, Republican; William F. Barrett, Republican, and R. F. Everroade, Democrat, were named as commissioners to make the .recount. Mr. Barrett and Mr. Everroade were the election commissioners for this county at the last election. The court also holds that both Kelleher and Peetz shall be entitled to watch the recount, and that each may select a -qualified voter from ‘Bartholomew county to watch also. At the last election Kelleher ran about 140 votes behind the remainder of the Democratic State ticket in the Fifth precinct. Voting was done by machines in this county, and the other candidates whose numbers appeared on each side of Kelieher’s number had approximately 256 votes. Kelleher ran about 140 behind them. His friends are certain the machine failed to register votes cast for him. The voting machine people are interested in the case, and a representative of the company will be present at the recount.

THIS IN “YORK STATE,” TOO

M. A. Case, an Ontario, (N. Y.) county farmer, attributes his large yield of corn this fall to the fact that a flock of twenty pheasants were kept busy devouring wire worms and cut worms. His harvest was 545 bushels from four acres. He thinks the birds ought to be protected from hunters.—New York State Paper. This yield beats anything heard of in the great corn belt of Indiana or Illinois, where farm land is valued as high as S2OO per acre in some localities. When one takes into consideration the fact that farm lands in New York state can be bought at from $5 to S4O per acre, with good improvements in many instances, owing to the yonger generation having emigrated to the great west, and the further fact that a small grained variety of corn is grown there, this yield is something wonderful, if correctly reported.
