JI DAY <ARM HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE • Fire of unknown origin, but which is believed to have originated from a stove under a poultry brooder, at 7:30 o’clock Friday evening destroyed the large two story and basement brick dwelling owned by Charles Juday, formerly the William Butler home, on the old Butler farm, located on the Lincoln highway, one mile southeast of Benton. Loss is estimated at approximately SIO,OOO, with insurarose of about $3,000. V Most of the contents were saved by neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Juday and their two children were in Goshen at the time of the blaze and did not hear of it until they reached the farm about 10 o’clock. The parents were at the Jefferson picture show in Goshen and the children attended a school enter tainment. Discovery of the fire was made bv Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Moyer and Mr. and Mrs. Milo Pippenger and son Joe, of Goshen, as tw> were riding past the farm in an automobile. A frame building at the east end of the house wa? ablaze. They tried to enter the residence, but found all doors locked. Summoning assistance they forced entrance, learned there were no occupants and carried out the furnishings. In the meantime the flames made rapid progress, soon enveloping the entire house. Only parts of the walls are standing. The Goshen fire department and the Millersburg chemical wagon were, called, but it was impossible to check the tlsnies. A high wind was blowing and it was with much difficulty that the barn was saved. Several hundred persons assembled, many of them rendering very j valuable service. When the dining room was entered a poultry incubator was found to be intact. In the absence of any other cause, origin of the fire is charged to the brooder. The Butler house was erected in 1881 and was an unusually attractive farm home? —o ■ .NOTICE OF ADMINISTRATION Notide is hereby given that the undersigned has been appointed by the Clerk of the Kosciusko circuit Court, in the State of Indiana, executor of the estate of Rachael A.

REV. “BILLY” SUNDAY BIG DRAWING CARD Louisville, May 3.—Many years ago when «Billy Sunday was a famous baseball player, he knocked a high fly over the fence. It was brought back by i curly-headed, dirty-faced and rather ragged urchin, a member of the knot-hole gang, to whom Sunday was an idol. That was the beginning of a friendship between Billy Sunday and Ed Ballard, of West Baden. Sunday became a great evangelist and Ballard became one of the owners of three great circuses. Mr. Sunday is filling a six weeks’ revival engagement in this city and Saturday the Hagenback-Wallace show exhibited here. Ballard and Sunday met for the first time in several years and talked over old times. “Bill,” said Ballard, “do you know that you are the greatest opposition the Hagenback-Wal-lace show has?’’ “I think, Ed, you are mistaken,” replied Sunday, placing his hand on the showman’s shouller. “I never opposed your circus. I believe in the circus. I think it is a great institution and teaches a lot of‘things to boys md girls as well as a lot of grownups. You must be mistaken when you imagine I oppose the circus.’’ "You don’t get me just right," aid Ballard. “I don’t care for the opposition of other shows, we can hold our own with any of them, but whenever we get to a town where you are, you always take the crowd away from us. That’s what I mean.’’ "Well, Ed.” drawled Sunday, "I assure you there is no personal feeling in the matter. Maybe I give the people more for their money than you do.” INSUFFTCIENT PROTECTION When a series of thefts can go on for years, as they did in a York. Pa., bank until nearly sl,000,000 was abstracted before detection, it ought to be conclusive evidence that the bank examining system is not protection sufficient. Such a condition would not be possible if the government made the Board of Directors responsible. When they are made responsible they will see to it that officers who set the Wallingford bee in their bonnets shall not have facilities for getting away with the funds, and depositors will be protected. A few years in prison does not pay back the losses to ■widows, children, working men or business men. —o Some people are strong advocates of charity—when it comes their way.
