SIXTEEN SECTION ONE, -PAGES 1 to 8. SEYMOUR DAILY REPUBLICAN VOLUME XXXI NO. 26 SEYMOUR, INDIANA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1911. PRICE TWO CENTS VIOLENT DEATH NEAR CORTLAND Gottlieb Naffe, retired Farmer Fell Down Stairs at Home Sunday Night. HE DIED TEN MINUTES LATER.

Accident Occurred as He Was Going To His Room To Retire. Gottlieb Naffe, a well known retired farmer who lived one and a half miles northwest of Cortland, met a violent death at his home Sunday night. His death was caused by a fall down stairs in which his skull was fractured and he received internal injuries. About 8 o'clock Mr. Naffe started upstairs to his room to retire.

He had about reached the top of the stairway when members of the family heard him fall and plunge down the stairs. They at once ran to him and finding him unconscious, summoned a physician. The fall however had resulted in fatal injur-1 ies, Mr. Naffe living but about ten minutes after the accident. As he had been in good health and no complaint when he started to his room, it is supposed that the fall was the result of a stumble.

The deceased was over 87 years of and was born in Germany. He age leaves a wife and one son, Henry Naffe, with whom he lived. The funeral services will be held at 10 a. m. Tuesday at the White Creek church, conducted by Rev.

Ollinger. Burial at the church cemetery. Sells Grocery. Ed Moenning has sold his grocery store at the corner of Jackson and Pine streets to John F. Weinhorst.

Although. gold. piece turkeys, distributed to bank and factory employes in Chicago will help swell the Christinas cheer the grim comment is made that "Christmas comes bit once a year" and there was ample chance for hunger in the interims. This unseasonably grim comment was due to. the disclosures made by the Vice commission concerning a forgetfulness of employes during weeks of the year, which the Christmas turkeys and gdid pieces are designed to balance.

The report states: "In all large cities there is a system of common school education which is thorough and very good in most cases. It educates the desires of young boys and girls to a point of at least decent living in comfort. It also gives them the power of analyzing their own positions, and the positions of those who surround them. It is inevitable that when such young men and young women go out into life, they would be very ambitious that in a few years they will be running some establishment. But later on a man reaches $12.00 or $15.00 a week, and the woman $7.00 or $8.00, and find themselves units in a vast array of clerical office with no hope for bettering their condition: This results in creating a class in society, too intelligent to burden the world with children whom they cannot support and educate, and fill society with homes where only the father works, and homes which naturally will be more frequented by installment collectors for furniture, than by happiness of any other socially comfortable thing.

It has been established after exhaustive study that it is quite impossible for a working girl in any large city to live on less than eight dollars per week, yet employers say that they pay on an average of from $6.00 to $7.00 per week. This is all the girls are worth they maintain, the law of supply and demand regulates all this. And because the unskilled girl workers are a drug on the market the employer keeps piling up enormous profits and paying great dividends, sometimes extra dividends." Successful Entertainment. The high school entertainment, Vanity Fair, Saturday afternoon and evening proved a great success. afforded pleasure for a number of patrons and proved profitable to the promoters.

About three hundred persons were served in the dining room and the German, candy, needlework, ice creany booths, fish pond and fortune teller afforded amusement and profit. A program was given by the high school glee club and German band. Ray R. Keach has an electric train in his show window running on a continuous electrie track.

Sheriffs of the various counties of the state are receiving blanks which they are requested to fill out, approximating the amount of money which should have been due them for serving writs, summons, processes, subponeas, venires and notices originating in their office between January 1, 1905, and December 13, 1908, which moneys were collected by the proper officers and turned over to the county treasurer.

An organization has been formed and an attempt is being made by exsheriffs to secure these fees. A test case has just been tried in Brown county and the decision of the court is being awaited with no small amount of interest, so that it may be taken to the supreme court for final action. In Brown county, a four year period amounted to about $500 and in Decatur county to about $1,000.

We sometimes wonder how the small boy of today can ever become a full grown man without the aid of boots. The inventor of jockey leggins must have had this idea in mind for the red top with patent cuff gives every appearance of boots.

The small boy takes to them instinctively, and acts very much like you did on seeing your first pair of boots. A pair of jockey leggins fitted. over pair of Educator Shoes would please the boy more than anything you could give him for Christmas. We might add Slippers are very acceptable for older people.
