Young Man Who Attempted to Buy Poison With Which to Commit Suicide Mon. Night was Unable to Secure Drug—Made the Rounds of the Drug Stores. Threatened to Throw Himself in Front of Train.

The eighteenth annual meeting of the Baptists of the north of Putnam and eastern Park counties was held in the Newgent grove just west of Clinton Falls on Sunday. It was an all day meeting with picnic dinner between the services. These meetings grow more popular each year, and between two and three thousand people were estimated to be on the grounds Sunday. Preaching was by Rev. Airhart of Putnam county and Rev. Ceilings of Parke county. Rev. Airhart spoke in the morning and again in the afternoon. Rev. Collings spoke only in the afternoon. Both speakers's were in excellent voice and held the large audience throughout their dicourses. The picnic dinner was by no manner of means the least of the day’s delights. The prodigality of these dinners is far famed, and no one who goes once will miss going again if it is possible to be there. The whole day was a success, and already those present are looking forward to next year.

warning was timely for the young man went to every drug store in town. He was refused at each store. In some of the stores he stated that he wanted to kill himself and when refused the poison said that he would jump in front of a train or do something which would serve the purpose. He failed to carry out his threats, however, and was still alive

this morning.

The young man who made the attempt to buy the poison and threats to kill himself is Lestlie Grubb. He is employed at the Herman Hoffman

DEATH OF 0, P. DOWNS

The team from the Metropolitan Encampment No. 5. of Indianapolis made a hit in Greencastle Saturday night when they came here to give Encampment degree work and to install Castle Canton No. 30. The fancy drill given on the square at seven o’clock was perfection as far as time and harmony of movement went. The team was small in numbers for street work, however. In t the lodge rooms they were par-ex-cellent. Those who saw the drill at the initiation declare that it has never been equaled here. This is probably true, as the team giving , the work carried off the world’s championship honors. competing with the crack teams of the world

at Toronto last year.

The team initiated twenty candidates into the Encampment degree ! in the rooms of Putnam lodge of Odd Fellows. Lat*r they established Caslle Canton No. 30 of the Pat-

The Commissioners of Putnam county met Saturday morning in special session to pass upon the road matters of the county. Three bridge contracts were to be let, three roads ordered built and bids received on them, and superintendents reports examined. The first business to come before the commissioners was the opening of the bridge contracts. The three bridges to be built were the Salust Branch bridge in north Mill Creek township. The Little Deer Creek bridge on the Mt. Meridian road, and the Pickens Branch bridge south of Belle Union. The bids were as follow's: John F. Curren on the Salust Branch bridge complete $1,295. The Vencennes Bridge Company on all three com complete $29251. The Attica Bridge Company on the superstructure of three bridges $1655. J. F. O'Brien on all three complete $3265. W. E. Pickens on all three complete, $2790. Mahoney and Allen on all three complete $2950. Mahoney and Cox $1819 on superstructure. Reason and Larkin on Perkins Branch bridge $800. Lafayette Briige Company on the superstructure alone of all three $1525. The contract went to W. E. Perkins at $27 90 for the three bridges complete. This is considered a very reasonable bid and County Attorney James was instructed to draw up

tlie contract.

Three road contracts were also let at this session. The W. D. Staley road in Mill Creek, the W. A. Craver j road in Floyd and the J. M. Stewart ! road in Jackson township. There j was but one bid on the Stewart, road, j W. A. Stringer, $3,560. The Craver and Eggers roads both went to F. M. Glidewell at $5,299. John F. Curren bid $5,300 on each roads and Mahoney and Allen bid $.">,;!98 i on the Craver road.

Good clover follows good w heat, but it takes Potash to set the clover.

Starved clover won’t feed the crop that follows It needs a vigorous root and a sturdy growth for itself before it can gather nitrogen for you. Give it a good start by enough Potash with your phosphates in this Fall’s seeding of wheat or rye. The clover will do the rest—you’ll sec when you cut the clover. Clover, timothy, rye and oats, for turning under, or a crop in rotational! need more Potash than most commercial mixtures afford. We can prove by hundreds of practical field demonstrations, what a 6 per cent. Potash application will do—15 pounds per hundred of fertilizer. Potash is profit. Buy the Potash first.
