Death Comes Suddenly To Kosciusko Farmer. Daniel Plew aged 64 years died suddently last Wednesday afternoon at his home, about eight miles northeast of Warsaw. Mr. Plew had been in failing health for several years, but had not been seriously ill until Wednesday. He had been a resident of Kosciusko county for forty-five years. The following children survive: Mrs. S. B. Mitterling. Mrs. Laura Roberts. Albert A. Plew and A. H. Plew. J. T. Plew, T. P. Plew, E. W. Plew, and Charles D. Plew. The funeral was held at 10 o’clock Sunday morning from the Dutchtown church and in-

terment was made in the North We bster cemetery. Married Third Time. David Knisley of Goshen, 69 years old, and Mrs. Eliza Kindle of Kosciusko county, aged 48 years; were married by Justice Whisler, at Gosh en, last week. Yesterday’s union was the third for Knisley, the two previous ones having been dissolved through sensational divorce proceedings each time. The cases were given extended publicity. The present Mrs, Knisley was married once before and she procured a decree of divorce. Good Entertainment. The Cavenys, first number on the lecture course, pleased the audience at the opera house, last Wednesday night. The gentleman was a good impersonator and crayon artist and the only criticism on the lady’s singing, was the lack of it, or in other words, the hearers would have greatly appreciated more of it. Raspberries Ripe. Mr. Benj. Cable is putting one over on the other fruit growers in this vicinity. While some of them are boasting of fruit trees in bloom, Mr. Cable has sent to this office a branch containing a number of ripe raspberries. The fruit was large and well formed. This is an unusual feat for this time of year. Buys Nappanee Advance. John Wagner, who has been employed in the composing room of the Goshen News-Times, has purchased the Nappanee Advance from C. A. Collins. The Advance has improved under Mr. Collins’ management, and the new owner will undoubtedly be successful. Oil Satisfactory. Our oiled streets have stood the test of a long, hot summer and are still in good condition—better than ever before at this time. With the exception of a couple of unsightly gutters the condition of the streets could not be improved much.—Leesburg Journal.

Earnhart was sent to the asylum a year ago and at the time threatened to return and kill all who had anything to do with having him de dared insane. He is paralyzed from the bullet wound and is no< expected to live. Earnhart’s trip to Cromwell, fron Richmond was a quick one, landing him at his old home Saturday morning. Mrs. Kreager, divorcee wife of Henry Kreager of Goshen husband of Dr, Anna Kauffman Kreager, returned home from tht Lutheran church, accompanied by her daughter, Grace. Earnhart wat in the upper part of the Kreagei home and decended upon Mrs. Kreager with maniacial fury. He nearly killed her before she coulc escape with her daughter, to the road in front of the house. Horace Tucker took her to Dr. Nye’s office in his buggy and she spent the nighi at the home of a friend. Sheriff Cleland of Albion and Mar shal Vondersmith of Ligonier, were telephoned for at once and posses were scouring the country Saturday night and Sunday morning. Mik Snyder, a member of one of the posses, discovered Earnhart enroute from the barn of Newt Rarick. where he spent Saturday night, to i point southwest of Cornwell. Snydei struck the maniac over the head with his army gun and endeavored to stun him, but in self protection finally shot Earnhart in the breast. The lunatic was taken to Albion for medical attention. Hallowe'en Social. The Pythian Sisters had an enjoyable Hallowe’en social Friday evening. The hall was prettily decorated with corn stalks and pumpkins and one of the pleasing features of the evening was a seed contest. Fell Down Stairs.

Darr, had a serious fall, Saturday morning Mrs. Angel had gone upstairs after a sack of pop-corn; coming down she lost her balance and was precipitated to the bottom of the stairs.

The advance representative of Dr. Ostrom, is expected in Goshen within a few days and plans for the erection of the tabernacle on the March lot, southwest corner of Main and Jefferson streets, will then be made. The structure will be of such size that 2,500 people can be seated.

Any old stove will burn and produce some heat, what you want is a stove which will produce a lot of heat and consume a small amount of fuel. The MONITOR RADIATOR WILL DO IT Don’t let a manufacturer or dealer make claims that he cannot prove, tell him to SHOW YOU. When the Monitor Rad iator conservatively guarantees to give you 25 per cent, more heat from 25 per cent, less fuel, we can prove this to your satisfaction. The Monitor Radiator is not a freakish experiment. Its value has been tested by thousands of owners. Its unique construction will convince you. I vEyi MR. F. BOLDS of the Monitor Stove and Range Co., will be with us Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday. Do not neglect to bear this gentleman give a most interesting talk and demonstration of the Monitor Radiator. We repeat! Don't neglect to hear him. Pottenger Bros.
