NARROW ESCAPE FROM BEING KILLED * FRIGHTFUL RUNAWAY OF MERVIN MISHLER'S HORSE. MRS. MISHLER BADLY HURT Lady Dragged Nearly a Mile on The Highway in Buggy Top Last Sunday. Mrs. Mervin Mishler, residing 3 miles east and 2 miles south of Nappanee, had a narrow escape from death last Sunday as the result of a runaway horse. As It is, she has been at the home of Trustee James Brown, the nearest place of the accident, since that time where she has been attended by Dr. Chas. Inks. It Is expected that she will be sufficiently recovered within a few days to be removed to her .home, If she has not already been removed by the time the News is issued. The horse Mr. Mishler was driving became frightened and ran away. When the rig overturned Mr. Mishler was freed from it arid escaped uninjured. However, Mrs. Mishler was dragged a great distance on the highway, being badly bruised and injured about her head, aside from the great shock sustained by her terrible experience. The injured lady was taken to the nearest farm home which was that of Mr. Brown and medical aid summoned as stated. The damage to the rig was only a trifle compared to the injuries of the lady and her narrow escape from being killed. ' REFUSED PAROLES TO TWENTY - . .

THE NAPPANEE NEWS.

THE MERCHANTS’ AUCTION SALE Sales Being Popularized Among Buyers For Miles Around. The regular monthly auction sale of the Nappanee merchants comes off Saturday, July 13th. These are known as "bargain days" in Nappanee for a great many miles around, for when one is not fortunate enough to get some article at the auction sale they are sure to find the bargain within the stores. The buyers should not only watch the big ad of the merchants (appearing in the News this week) but many of the other advertisers will interest them. These auction days are wholly advertising days when good are sold at a closer margin by the Interested merchants. Regiment Reunion Date Changed. Because' the Seventy-fourth regiment of Indiana volunteer Infantry, was mustered into service fifty years ago from the coming 21st day of August, the date of the annual reunion of that regiment for this year will be changed, and it will be held at Warsaw on August 21 and 22. “WalnutCrackers," take notice and attend the golden jubilee of your regiment. Dr. J. Smith, Warsaw, Ind., president; Will F. Peddycord, South Haven, Mich., secretary. Wouldn't This Jar You? Last Thursday night some local talent—and one who must have known the premises and conditions—entered the Brethren church on West Walnut street and stole therefrom what is known as the “birthday jar” containing about S2O. The statement is made that it is not the first time that the jar has been stolen, only this time it contained more money. The basement window was open, church door unlocked, desk broken open, barefoot tracks discovered, are conditions surrounding the theft. The Church people are going to round up the sinner and bring him to repentance. MEETING Qf jl TOWN BOARD AWARDS ' CONTRACT TO CEN- „ TRAL PAVING CO. Trustees Favor Metropolitan Block — Bids Were Close On The Entire Job. The board of town trustees were in session Friday night pursuant to the recess of the special session of Wednesday night when bids were opened for the Walnut street, paving, for which the meeting was called. As stated last week, the following two bids were under consideration: W. W. Hatch & Sons Cos., Goshen—, Combined curb and gutter, per linear foot, 31 cents; marginal - curbing, 25 cents; brick pavement, per square yard, $1.67, Terre Haute, or any equally good block. Certified check, National Bank’, Goshen, for SBOO. Central Paving Cos., Rochester—Combination curb and gutter, per linear foot, 38 cents; marginal curbing, 20 cents; brick pavement per square yard, $166, Metropolitan block. Certified check, First National Bank, Nappanee. for S9OO. The bids were very close on the whole job. After having the matter under consideration until Friday night the contract was allowed the Central Paving Cos., on the grounds that the quality and price of the Metropolitan block was a certainty as against that named in the others bid as being a cheaper material. From the cost of the Knobston and Terre Haute block as compared with that of the Metropolitan block, the Central Paving Company’s price was about the same if not a little lower than that of the Goshen company. After some conference the board deemed thatltwould .be unwise to experiment with any new bloelr', since they had a positive material in the Metropolitan* or one of which they had positive information. So far as the property owners are concerned, they already know what kind of a job they will get at the hands of Superintendent Worley of the Central Paving Cos. There never was a finer piece of work done than that which was completed this season on Madison and Hartman street where the Metropolitan block was used. At the end of ten days the contract will be signed up and the work will begin at once. Congressional Conventions. Neither Democrats nor Republican a have called their congressional conventions. Democrats will unquestionably renominate H. A. Barnhart, who was elected in 1908, re-elected in 1910, and now has such widespread popularity throughout the Thirteenth district. Republicans are considering Archie Graham and F. Henry Wurzer of South Bend, and A. J. Hickey, of Laporte, all Taftites. Syracuse Woman Burned. Mrs. Peter Mullen is in a critical condition at her home in Syracuse as the results of burns received on Saturday. She was attempting to light a gasoline stove when it exploded and set fire to her dress. Before the blaze could be extinguished or the clothing removed, Mrs. Mullen was a mass of flames and was badly burned. She is about 50 years old.

NAPPANEES BIG ANNUAL SHOW COMMITTEES HARD AT WORK ON PROGRAM. LIBERAL SUBSCRIPTIONS Finance Committee Receiving, Sufficient Encouragement to Assure Good Program—News Notes. That the progress being made by the committees who have in hand the work of ways and means and the program for Nappanee’s annual festival Aug. 28th and 29th, is very satisfactory, is indicated by the liberal contributions to the expense fund. Not all have been visited by the committee but they have a sufficient subscription now pledged which has passed the SBOO mark, and will allow the program committee to now get busy in making up the list of entertainments. There are always a few things which may be counted on in the Onion Day and Home coming program. Among these are the onion exhibits. This season there will be a better display since the crop prospects are excellent. The balloon and parachute stunt is to be counted in also as a fixture in these entertainments. It Js proposed to have two bands, at least, for each day, which feature will be accorded more prominence than last season. Then there will be the stock show, and that ever attractive baby show with new “features” in the ring every season. The baseball game is expected as usual —on one day at least, if not on both days. The special free attractions to be given on the streets by professional people are now under consideration. Several hundred dollars will be used in this direction, no doubt, and will assure visitors something worth while. It\ is intended to Bpeakera\alf prominence from all parties can make arrangements to put in their men here on these two days. Perhaps, this feature of the program will be put up to the several political organizations. The Prohibitionists have commenced to cast about for a man of national prominence to put on the program. They expect to get their nomifor president or the vice-president nominee to speak for them. * It is proposed to pull off another advertising tour with the band as was done last season if the committee receives a like encouragement. This feature of advertising, and for the distribution of the program and other bills, was considered last season to have been a great hit. At Monday night’s meeting of the various committees, when President J. D. Coppes presided, and Secretary Brown presented many documents from entertainment companies, considerable work was accomplished. The fact, that all the officials and chairmen of the committees are putting shoulders to the work means that the festival will be a hummer. These are some of the definite points fixed for the program at the meeting: For the colt show prizes— lst, *ls; 2d, $10; 3d, $5. All colts foaled March Ist and later. Two-year-olds— lst, $10; 2d, *5; 3d, $3. Three-year-olds— lst, *10; 2d, $5. Draft teams—lst, $10; 2d, *5. The show will be pulled off on East Market street. Any information may be obtained of Wilson Slabaugh, chairman of committee. Onion show prizes—Red, Ist, $10; 2d, *7.50; 3d, *5. Yellow, Ist, $10; 2d, $7.50; 3d, *5. White, Ist, *10; 2d, $7.50; 3£, $5. All onions with tops and in bunches of one dozen. Show in park in charge of A- A. Laughlln, chairman of committee.

Baby show prizes—lst, $7.50; 2d, *5; 3d, $3. Regardless of race or color. Exhibition on band stand on public square. Names should be sent to G. Frank Brown, secretary. This is as far as the work of formulating the program progressed at the Monday night’s meeting. In addition to this, those who wish to denote prizes to the miscellaneous shower for the couple who will get married on the band stand at the public square will hand in their names and name of article to Secretary Frank Brown. Chas. Baker of the Gus Reiss & Cos. clothing store, starts the list with a suit of clothes worth not less than S2O. To this was added a year’s subscription to the News. Os course, these prizes are conditional on the association finding the couple who will get married. Death of Willis Huffman. Willis Huffman, aged 66 years, died at his home 8 miles south of town in Kosciusko county Wednesday evening at 5:30. He is survived by his wife, the step mother of 7 grown children. Mr. Huffman, over a quarter of a century ago, operated a cider mill at Foraker and was quite well-known in Union township and Nappanee. The funeral will be held at Stony Point Sunday at 10 a. m. The interment will be made at that cemetery by N. A. Lehman. —Copyright books—N ews Bookstore.

They washed many pieces of woolen goods formerly shrunk and spoiled by improper washing, and restored them to their former size and softness. They also washed many pieces of the finest lace, silk waists and silk dresses, net waists, wool skirts, WO9I serge skirts, opera shawls, and wool sweaters, coats and wool trousers, and contrary to all rules of washing, everything was washed in boiling water.

WIFE AND HOME BURNED FRIDAY SHERRILL LONGACRE VICTIM OF DOUBLE LOSS. WOMAN LIVED FEW HOURS Farm House Seven Miles Northeast of Leesburg Was Scene of Shocking Tragedy. The farm home of Sherrill Longacre about seven miles northeast of Leesburg was the scene of a shocking double tragedy last Friday In which the wife, Mrs. Longacre, lost her life and the house was destroyed by fire together with its contents. Mrs. Longacre, who was but 25 years of age, was kindling a fire of corn cobs in the kitchen range. She poured oil upon them and the oil can exploded. The unfortunate woman, her clothing a mass of flames, rushed to the door. Her mother-in-law, who was working in the garden, heard her cries, but when she found the flames enveloping her daughter-in-law, she became excited and instead of assisting her, ran to the dinner bell and sounded the alarm. Neighbors arrived and helped to extinguish the flames- The woman died in agony Friday night. The house which was anew structure and the old house which stood beside it were destroyed with most of the contents. The woman leaves a small child. The husband is prostrated. W. C. T. U. Notes. ' “When the last whisky bottle comes off the medicine shelf; when the last ‘blind pig’ or ‘tiger’ has died a natural death; when the last saloon is closed; when the last church member has signed a dram shop petition; when thr last boy has quit drinking beer or hard cider; when the last doctor has stopped writing whisky prescriptions then the temperance people can afford to fold their arms and sit down to rest.. Until then, they had better be up and doing Mrs. L. S. LaMance in Union Signal. Our local W. C. T. U. Is to meet Friday afternoon at three o’clock at the home of Mrs. A. V. Guiss. There is a matter of vital importance to be dealt with at this meeting and we hope all members who are not put of town wilf be present, so as to have a meeting as large as possible, considering the season of the year. Visitors are welcome. Press Sura Osborn Defines His Stand. In order that there might be no misunderstanding as to his attitude regarding the proposed third party,., Governor Qsborp issued the following statement recently from Lansing, Michigan: "1 am not inconsistent in the position I have taken that Republicans need not bolt their party and will-not be considered as having bolted if they vote for Woodrow Wilson. Many of the most prominent and influential Democrats did not vote for or support Mr. Bryan. They remained Democrats, nevertheless, and are supporting Woodrow Wilson now. “I do not think anew party erected upon the passions of any number of men can live. When those who are righteously angry because of the action at Chicago come to their senses they will discover that they are angry at certain men in the Republican party and not the splendid old party itself. I wish to reassert and .re-em-phasize that the issue is as clear as a deep-toned bell. “One-half the work necessary, to create anew party directed to purifying the Republican party will produce ten-fold better results. I hope all good Republicans will refuse to join the malcontents in anew party. Ido not mean by this that temporary measures should not be taken to present the name of Theodore Roosevelt and to give people an opportunity to vote for him, but whatever steps are taken to do this, I hope it will be clearly understood that they are temporary. "Personally, I am still of the opinion that those who are not satisfied with Mr. Taft can get just exactly what they desire by voting for Woodrow Wilson. I am glad to see that Senator Cummins and other distinguished gentlemen agree with my position in this respect.” Marriage Licenses. Claude Warliek, Elkhart, 24; Mareetla Mitchell, Elkhart, 24.
