theme will be ‘‘Philosophy of Wit and Humor.”” He will doubtless be greet-. ed with a crowded house. : The ¢**Down the Slope’’ Co., that held forth at the opera house last Friday night was decidedly slim as far as the performance was concerned. .They were greeted by quite a large house. They went to North Manchester from here. : Dr. L. O. Buchtel of Auburn assisted by Drs. J. W. Morr and N. G. Reiff of this city perform an operation on Mrs. E. D. Spangle at the Easly residence 1n Jefferson township last Friday. Itis hoped that the operation will proye to be a successful one and that she may fully recover her health. Perry Bogear who_ has been the efficient clerk at the Williams house for the past six months resigned his position and returned to his home ‘at Garrett. . Our best wishes go with him. He is succeeded by Clem Berberick of Cromwell who has many friends who will welcome his return to Albion, ; A number of lady parishoners and friends of Rev. and Mrs. S. L. Shirley marched to their residence last Tuesday eyening and surprised them completely on the occasion of their birthdays. They were presented with a fine lamp. Rey and Mrs. Shirley re turn their sincere thanks to the donors and will always hold them in grateful remembrance. ‘ ‘

C. H. Stanley has been employed by Hoffman & Co. as their representative on the road. He started on his first trip Monday.

count. The argument became so warm that they came to. blows. Marshal Parmalee was on hand, however, and before they could cause much destruction to each others physiognomies they were arrested and placed in Hotel de Simon where they were at liberty to fight it out. Married Sunday, Nov. 10, at the { Presbyterian parsenage by Rev. S. L. | Shirley, Clarence C. Simon and Miss Laura A. Halferty. The groom is the popular deputy sheriff and the bride is the charming and accomplished daughter of County Assessor J. H. Halferty. We wish them a happy and successful wedded life. The groom is a member of the Dozen club, and one of the rules is that when a member becomes a benedict he is tofurnish the oysters to the club. Mr. Simons 18 the first member of the organization to get married and the boys are anxiously waiting for the banquet. ’ Several of the men employed on the water works as calkers and who hailed from Decatur imbibed too much “tangle foot’ and got gloriously under its influence last Friday and meeting a colored man who has been in Albion for the past two weeks, they proceeded forthwith to rid themselves of some of their surplus enthusiasm to which the ‘‘darkey’’ strongly objected and as -a result the aforesaid enthusiasts were promptly laid out and when they had recovered from the effects of the objections of the colored person, they were not so enthusiastically inclined. One of them was removed to the jail while the other was taken to the residence of John Hauger. We suppose they are somewhat wiser by this time. The gentleman of color re- | mained in town for about a day after the occurrence and then silently departed for parts unknown.

reo. W. Ruch and Hon. T. R. Marshall of Columbia City were 1n town Monday. They appeared before the town council and the board of commissioners and asked for a franchise to build and operate the tracks of the Huntington, (golumbia City & Ligonier electric railway upon the streets of Albion and the highways of Noble county. The franchise was granted by both boards. One of the provisions of the franchise is that the tracks shall be ten feet from the traveling portion of the highway. Work is to be com-

menced on the road in the spring and it is to be completed within a year. The backers have ample capital at their cemmand and being shrewd and capable business men it is an assured fact that the road will be bult. Albion is to be congratulated on being on the line as it will be of great benefit. With water works, electric lights and electric railway and a few more factories and a united and firm interest for the town’s advancement, Albion’s future seems bright. A branch will be built to Kendallville within a year after the road is completed. The road will carry passengers and freight.

Our esteemed journalistic friend of the New Era takes exception to our statement in reference to buying an overcoat for $6 at the present time that we paid 812 for two years ago. Our able friend need not believe us if he does not see fit, but if he has any conscientious scruples on the subject he can go and interview our merchants and clerks in the stores and they will bear us out in the statement. He gets very sarcastic when we mentions the price of farm products. He says, did you eyer know of such (high) prices being paid when he had a repulican administration and republican laws? Wheat at 60 cents a bushel. Why, bless your soul neighbor, if you will turn to your newspaper files of Nov. 9, 1893, you will notice that 55 cents was paid for wheat in Albion. As for wool the price is a 8 high today as it was during the last year of Harrison’s administraton. As for corn, potatoes, etc., the price is regulated by the supply and the demand. What would be the re‘sult if there was a scareity of these jarticles in Indiana instead of an en‘ormous crop. We would then be paying $l.OO per bushel for potatoes and ‘y m 60 to 76 cents for corn. He further states that if there is a difference of $6 in the price of an overcoat, some body has lost $6. He claims it is not the manufacturer nor the retail dealer, but the wool grower and the laborer who makes the cost. Such argumdnts are all bosh. The manufacturer is the one that loses this money and yet makes 8 &ood profit on the ?oad "he makes. ' h‘ywm,_tha, manufacturers 80 anxious for the tamff to remain on wool? We presume they were chari: vml{‘inclmd' (?) to the wool growers and laborer. Go to the merchans tail-

ors and you can buy a clay worsted suit of clothes for $27 that you paid 835 for two or three years ago. Does 'the merchant tailor lose any money? No, for he pays his coat and pants maker the same wages for making the garment that the formerly did. lltis the manufacturer of the cloth that made the profit and put it in his pocket. Now it remains in the possession of the laborinF man who buys the clothes. Probably our esteemed journalist can explain the reason why there was 50 per cent. more wool marketed in 1895 than there was during the corresionding period of 18937 Does it look like the wool business was being ruined.

Wages of Empioyes of Steel Works of the Country to Be Ralised. Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 13.—At the guarterly conference just ended in Pittsburgh between representatives of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel-Workers and John Jarrett, secretary of the Iron and Sheet Steel Manufacturers’ association, it was discovered that, according to the provisions of the sliding wage scale, the selling prices of finished material during the past 90 days justified an advance of two per cent. in the wages of employes in this department of iron manufaeture. The wages of 12,000 workmen are advanced and this involves every sheet-iron mill in the country. A conference is now on between the irén puddlers and manufacturers of the Mahoning valley. The indications are that the wages of the 10,000 puddlers and finishers in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys will be advanced A{rom $4.25 to $4.50 per ton. : : ' Snpgrlbr to Any, L ~ GosHEN, Ind, Jan, 28, 1895, Dear Sir:—ln ‘n:fi bum,m.e}whom. are exposed to all kinds of weather and 1 find Spobn’s Distemper and Cough Gm% to be wr to any mg,m ve ever used, and it has come tc mfl%%‘g&m s o YRR L c T peon et & R Hho oel e s esetßt B e
