NAPPANEE COLON! AT LIMON, COLO. ..... J. M. GEIB WRIfES YEOMEN LODGE OF NEW HOME. HAVE BIG ENTERTAINMENT How The Indiana People Pass Time —■■F. E. Janke Writes Plymouth Paper About it. A few days ago Dr. E. D. Stuckman, secretary of the local Homestead of American Yeomen, received a business letter from J. M. Geib, a member of the Homestead here, in which Mr. GeW'-tells how the Indiana people, and especially the Nappanee colony at Limon, Colorado, spend the time. Recently they had an entertainment in Limon which drew the people for miles around. Mr. Geib says that they had a splendid program that was rendered creditably. “Miss Dora Phend,” he says, “was ope of the program committee, and she knows how to do things.” They had good speaking and good, splendid singing. Mr. Geib also encloses a newspaper article from a Plymouth paper written, by F. E. Janke about the people of Nappanee and this part of the State who have settled in and around Limon, and how Mr. and Mrs. Geib entertained a number of them on Thanksgiving day. The letter follows: “For the benefit of my friends in the east, I take this method of letting them know how Thanksgiving is generally on the plains of Eastern Colorado. Through the kindness of J. M. Geib and his good family, formerly of Marsliall County, we together with the family of Samuel Phend, six miles south, and Jacob Laudeman and family, of Limon, but all of the Hoosier state and late of Nappanee, were invited to the Geib home for-dinner. While turkey was not bn the bill of fare, chicken .and the customary cranberry sauce and numerous other good eatables weighed down the long table. We. twenty in all, did justice to the many good things and it is hardly safe to say that we felt better when through, and our friends in the east would hardly imagine that starvation existed out here, had they been pres-’ ent. Soon after dinner, we, men folks, indulged in a game of ball and croquet, the girls went horse back riding, while • the women folks spent the afternoon exchanging ideas about this wonderful new country, and climate, and holding as their subject, one Frank Manuwal, a former Plymouth youth, who was given up to die with consumption, and as Mr. Geib is bis cousin, lie was persuaded to go to Colorado for his’health. He landed at Limon, Colorado, about three months ago, and has improved so much in general health that he expects to make it his future home. His mother came later and they have taken up a claim adjoining Mr. Geib on the west and will move on it in the spring. Frank works some most every day and he looks and feels so much better and says they can’t drive him back to Indiana/: Mr. Geib is a hard working man and has made extensive improvements upon his claim, holding high and good faith in the possibilities of this country which is substantiated by the fact that not a claim or even a relinquishment in this neighborhood can be secured for less than S4OO to SSOO. *The entire four quarters of my section have actual settlers upon them, and we are thirteen miles fron Limon, and so it is all around us. This country promises a wonderful grdwUjJn-lfcr. next few’years as the' natural conditions justifies it, - V As I have drifted from my former subject, ! will close by saying that we all departed for our respective homes at.dusk, feeling that the day was well spent and that we all had a good time and thankful for the .occasion and hoping that many more sucli gatherings would be held. Bad Stomach Trouble Cured. Having been sick for the past two years with a bad stomach trouble, a friend gave me a dose of Chamberlain’s Stomach, and Liver. Tablets. They did me sq much good that I bought a bottle of them and have used twelve bottles in all. To-day lam well of a bad stomach trouble.-—Mrs. John Lowe Copper, Maine. These tablets are for sale by J. S. Walters. rr — Simple Remedy for La Grippe. La grippe coughs are dangerous as they frequently develop into pneumonia. Foley’s Honey and Tar not only stop the cough but heals and -strengthens the lungs so that no serious results need be feared. The genuine Foley’s Honey and Tar contains no harmful drugs and is in a yellow package. Refuse substitutes. J. S, Walters.

Renewed hostilities in the Elkbart whisky war will mark the opening of tbe new year. The anti-saloon fight has been., uoder-edver lately, and the plans of the civic league ants those of the saloon men are alike unknown to the public. Both sides are intensely wide awake. A remonstrance covering tbe second ward may be filed, says the Goshen Democrat. Before the board of county comm'is9ioner.s next Monday will come tbe applications of George B. Dotson and Hi Williamson for licenses. The Dotson application will precipitate a fight somewhat along the lines of the Yrerster application which was for a license in the third ward. „ The third ward remonstrance is to be attacked, but on what grounds it has not been disclosed. Ward boundaries were a prominent, feature of the other fight and It is assumed that the question will be gone into again. Evidently Mr. Dotson bas some other “thunder” which will come aut'at the 'bearing. There will be anew commissioner on tbe board this time and both sides will endeavor- to locate him right away. Wilson H. Rood hassucceeded Charles of tbe middle district. There is reason for believing TtigET ttfe new commissioner is an “anti," individually. Whether or not a blanket remonstrance will be filed for the second ward is the most interesting question -to come. now. Wqrk bas. been dune in that ward by tbe anti-saloon people and it is presumed! by some that a majority has been secured, Some of tbe saloon men have secured a large number of withdrawals. < Agents of tbe anti-saloofi. people have been carefully looking into the records of the present and prospective applicants. The tax books have been examined and the newspapers for the year lookpd over. v < 1 - Elected Officers.

BUSINESS MEN HAVE CONFERENCE WOULD HAVE PHONE SERVICE EQUALIZED. — . / ; A COMMITTEE APPOINTED Manager Stoops Will Co-operate With Committee When Necessary. A number of business men had another conference Friday night with G. R. Stoops, proprietor of tbe Nappanee Telephone Cos., respecting the matter of free service to certain neighboring towns. The business men—merchants and manufacturers— realized for some time that Nappanee has been at some disadvantage in a business way by reason of the town being the only one In the county that cannot be reached by telephone free, and vice versa. They have also been interested in hringiug about a different state of affairs—placing the town of -Nappanee on the same footing for telephone service as other towns, if lit can be done with justice to Mr. Stoops as a business proposition. To this end the conference was held. It is not because the merchants and manufacturers want something for nothing, that tbe proposition is being discussed. lt?is a desire to be exactly on the same basis for service as their neighbors whether that be free service or toll service. Mr. Stoops is willing to do what he can in the matter, he says, and maintain good service. A committee consisting of Messrs. John Hartman, H. E. Coppes, Daniel Zook, and Chas. Mutschler was appointed to confer with and to do what is possible to bring together the business relations of the phone companies interested in tbe proposition named. The chmmittee will alsh be entrusted to formulate some definite requestor proposition which will enable Mr. Stoops to consider the matter intelligently when it comes to dealing with other companies. It is almost dettfh iteiy understood that -the situation at Bremen is such as to preclude any favors in that direction. There seems a possibility that there may be such a thing as a reduction of toll in some directions and free service in others. , There is one. thing certain, and that is, that it wtli Tequire couaideTable ! time to place Nappanee on an equal footing with- neighboring towns in telephone service, even with the managers of com panics .all interested in the project. SMITH COMMITS SUICIDE STOLE HORSE OF NOAH REED IN UNION TOWNSHIP. A Paroled Prisoner at Time He Shuf- "■ fled Off With Carbolic Acid. —Buried at Niles. About two years ago Fred Smith alias “Red” Asmus, a Michigan man .was arrested at Elkhart for theft of a horse from Noah Reed of Union township. He was sent to„the prison north. Asmus was-'a paroled prisoner and working on a farm near Furnessville, Mich., and committed suicide about , one week ago by taking carbolic acid. The Michigan City News said, of him: “Asmus was a horse thief and was sentenced to prison here in 1906 for horse stealing from Elkhart county. He served until Nov. last, when he was paroled to Mr. McDonald. He 'was discontented with life since leaving prison and rather than go back, as his wife suggested, he decided to take his life. Asmus was a competent farm hand and lived on the McDonald farm with his wife Mid The other day~he informed his wife that things werq not going as he would have them and she suggested (probably ‘in a joking way) that lie commit arw other crime and return to prison,■There you will not be troubled with affairs outsidethe walls,’said his wife. He declared lie would kill himself rather than return to prison and he lived up to his word. - Ah inquest was held and the remains were taken to Niles, Mich, for burial. The deceased formerly lived in Michigan and it is. understood served a prison term in.that state.” The Price of Peace. The terrible itching and smarting, incident to certain skin diseases, is almost instantly allayed by applying Chamberlain’s Salve. Price, 25 cents. For sale by J, S. Walters.
