FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED. JOHN RAYMER, HALF BROTHER OF JAMES PARKS. * Dies in His Rooms at Elkhart—Was Former Goshen Man Where He Was Born in 1839. John Raymer, a half brother of James Barks of Nappanee, was found dead in bed at his rooms in the Nicholas block, Elkhart, Thursday morning. His death was caused by organic heart trouble. Mr. Raymer was in good health the previous’fevening, having taken an active part in the political demonstrations. In the evening he marched in the parade and carried the largte oil painting of Mr. Bryan that had such a conspicuous place in the I >emocratic parades. He became ill during the after part of the night and a neighbor in an adjoining room went to his assistance. Morning came and the neighbor again went to the room but found him dead. Mr. Raymer was born in Goshen, July 24, 1839, in a house that stood on the present site of the Cosmo Buttermilk Soap factory. He resided in Goshen nearly all his life up to 20 years ago, working at his trade as dyer. From Goshen he removed to Elkhart and opened a dye shop. The deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Eva Haines, 304 North Third street, four grandchildren and two half brothers, Allen Parks of Waterloo, Ind., and James Parks of Nappanee. r 4 ....... AUTO SMASHOP AT MIDDLE BURY FOUR MEN THROWN FROM CAR BUT NOT KILLED. Shipshewana Automobile Strikes Side ( ;V of River Bridge While Running > Without Lights. A party of Sliipshewana automobile men had been to Elkhart to attend the Democrat rally and had returned by way of Goshen, where they had expected to get a gas tank with which to run their lights. But, being uiu atjle to secure it, they proceeded at slow speed, relying upon the little light afforded by the kerosene lamps. When approaching the bridge at Middlebury, where the accident occurred, they were going at the rate of about 15 miles an hour and owing to the sharp curve in the road and the dimness of the lamps, Dr. Hunn, who was driving, probably mistook the southrailing of the foot-bridge for the righthand brace of the main roadway. Consequently instead of the car taking the road between the two braces, the right front wheel hit the inclined iron brace squarely and started up. 11 had reached a height of about six feet from the floor of the bridge, when the car swerved to the left and tipped entirely over, throwing the occupants headlong. Asa result, Dr. F. M. Hunn’s new Chalmers-Detroit car is a partial wreck, only the engine, tires and minor parts escaping injury; Erie Davis, a chauffeur of Chicago, has a bad cut over his left eye, which required three stitches to close, and a lame shoulder; James Beecher of Shipshewana, a badly spiained back; Cliff Sixby, also of Shipshewana, a bruised head and shoulder and Ray Faust, a barber of Shipshewana, a bruised arm and side. Dr. Hunn," who was driving at the time of the accident escaped uninjured but for a few minor bruises.

NEW IDEA MANURE SPREADER

c lhe New Idea certainly lias advantages over other Manure Spreaders. The New Idea is quite differ&ni from other spread ers, first, it is very near the ground making it nice to load into and is usually drawn with but two horses. —_ -- - —- Second —It is different from other Spreaders because it is much narrower and can be drawn through a smaller gate or door and stored awayTn a smaller room. _ Third —It differs from other Spreaders because it has two cylinders. The lower large cylinder carries the manure over the top while the smaller upper cylinder, revolving in the sanr>e direction, acts as a pulverizer when the manure, comes in contact with both. After the manure passes through between the two cylinders it passes into the distributors which thoroughly pulverize and distribute the manure upon the soil. __ ~ The New Idea can be seen at Neff Brothers.
