Art Smith, aged nineteen years, has gained considerable notoriety in the last three years in the success he has attained in building bi-planes, and he had several successful flights, at Fort Wayne and other points, in hia own constructed machine. In the past ten days he took his father on a sail of 500 feet above Fort Wayne, and a little later his sweetheart accompanied him, and she became "in fa tua ted by the 'novel experience.

The next step, without his, intention, took place last Saturday, when at about noon he prevailed Hits Cour to take another flight, and their purpose seems to have been "love, courtship and marriage," with Hillsdale, as the Gretna Green of their intentitions. They ascended about 250. feet and started northward, following the Fort Wayne branch of the Lake Shore, and passing over the west part of Waterloo at about 4 o'clock p. they seemed to be enjoying the trip, and the machine waa be- having with a marked degree of consideration for the occupants in their purpose to evade any possible pursuit. They were delayed some time at New Era, where they landed for some repairs.

The balance of the trip was successfully made under smooth sailing until they attempted to alight at Hillsdale, the place selected being in a plowed field, when the wheels stuck1 in the loose ground, and the machine turned turtle, injuring, not seriously, both passengers. Mr. Smith has a sprained leg and ankle, and Mrs. for they. were married 'the same evening, has a badly sprained left leg and hip, their injuries causing them to remain in their room at the hotel all day Sunday.

The Hillsdale people, who knew Smith, from bis having demonstrated his flying machine in that city last summer, declared that a public reception should be tendered before the newly wedded be permitted to leave the cify, and a committee of twenty-five were chosen to take charge of affairs.

The verdict was a surprise to many who bad formed opinions without hearing the evidence. The whole affair waa disreputable in the extreme, and shows the corruption in social affairs when carried to the extreme limit. There was no question about the murder, for McLeod is dead and buried, and there was no doubt but that Ensley had prepared himself with guns, and that he laid in wait for his victim, and that one of his guns went off and caused the death. Much stress was placed on the unfaithfulness of his wife and the evil designs of her paramour, and that Ensley armed himself for self defense in the emergency, and that he stepped off the walk into a hole, and in doing so the gun waa accidental ly discharged.

It is somewhat strange that the aim waa so accurate when not directed by the holder of the weapon. The testimony revealed some very undesirable conditions about the home thus broken up. In the culmination of the -affair Ensley 's wife seems to have the most unenviable standing. The jury that tried and acquitted Ensley is composed of the following men: George Harmea, FairfielcL Andrew Scofield, Jackson. John A.

Shaffer, Wilmington. John Brechbill, Richland. Wm. Eckert, Fairfield. Charles Krontz, Newville.

Julius Hill, Garrett. Thurman Shull, Spencer. Wm. Peckhart, Grant. Frank VanAmmond, Butler.

I James C. Hodges, Franklin. Frank Yarde, Keyser. They are all farmers but one, and he a contractor. Case la Now Murder The death last week of the negro shot by a fellow workman of the same color, at Garrett, brings a second murder trial to the DeKalb circuit court from that city in the past three months.

The grand jury haa returned an indictment of murder in the first degree. It was a premeditated, brutal murder, and there can be little hopes of saving the life of the murderer. MRS.

i DR. WILLARD W. SWARTS The republican candidate for county coroner is a doctor, and he is centrally located, so that in case of hia election many dollars would be saved this county by having a coroner located so that he can reach all parts of- the county and thereby ave the mileage fees charged in cases where the coroner is called. Dr. warts, the candidate, is a regular practicing physician, and is a young man well qualified for the duties of the office.

If elected he will fill the office with credit to himself and to the county. Hia late father was an old soldier, well known in DeKalb county. A vote for Dr. Swarta means a vote for economy and at the same time a vote for a good man for the office of coroner.

(Advertisement) TALK IS SO CHEAP TODAY BUT TOMORROW YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FREE COUNTY SERVICE OFF The Switch Board on and After Nov. 1st Nominal Fee to be Charged Today ends the free service over the Bell phones to other towns in DeKalb county. This free privilege has been in vogue from four to eight years, un til it became universal over the county. The Telephone Company insists that the costs of upkeep absolutely bars the company from longer continuing the free service.

Competition was what caused the companies to adopt the free service and all are satisfied with the experiment Th same rule will be enforced In other counties. It goes without saying that there will be less conversation over the lines and those who pay toll will be more likely to receive attention and not be met so frequently by the central saying "lines busy." No doubt patrons will find fault and perhaps some will refuse to patronize the local exchange for the present, as they had more use for the connecting lines between towns. We understand the toll will be only a email fee. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES. There will be a special meeting of the Presbyterian Aid at the home of Mrs.
