Seventeen rattle snakes at one dash is the record Samuel Abbott has. Mr. Abbott livesonthe Buck; ingham farm north of the city.

The other day while working in a field he saw something black and yellow spotted on the ground. Getting near it he saw that it was a rattle snake. The reptile lay coiled on the ground and as Mr. Abbott approached it shot out its forked tongue at the same time sounding a note of warning with its tail. Arming himself with a stick Mr.

Abbott gave the reptile a blow. The snake sprang forward but before it reached half its length another blow was delivered by Mr. Abbott killing the snake. Near the same place he found sixteen other rattle snakes all measuring about eight inches. These he also killed.

The old snake measured three and one half feet long and had three rattles. So far these are the only rattle snakes killed in the country this summer. North Manchester Leader. REV. JAMES MAPLE.

Death of This Beloved Minister at Remington, O. Rev. James Maple, formerly pas tor of the Methodist church at Warren, died last Thursday at 11 a. m. at Remington, 0., the home of his daughter, Mrs.

Benjamin Clay ton. after a week's illness. The cause of death was bowel trouble. The deceased was about seventy five years old, but was in the full possession not only of his faculties, but seemingly of health and ener gy. His illness was sudden, and its work was quickly done.

The funer al was held at Remington on Sunday, and the Rev. Byron R. Long preached the sermon. Burial took place there. Rev.

Maple was widely known in Huntington and surrounding counties and was one of the most popular and generally beloved ministers of the gospel ever associated with Christian workers in this section. His many manly and lovable qualities, as much as his recognized ability as a preacher, speaker and writer made him dear to all with whom he became acquainted. His last charge was at Warren, where he was greatly beloved. He leaves five children, Mrs. Mat tie Schooley of Minneapolis; Nannie, who is married and living at Fall River.

and Ada, now Mrs. Ben Clayton of Franklin, 0. Scott Maple lives at Sullivan, and there is another son whose residence is in the west. Obituary. Michael Rusher was born Urh weiler, Germany, April 15, 1824.

When about four years old his parents emigrated to this country and Awarded Highest Honors World's Pair, Oold Medal, Midwinter Fair. DiX' CREAT.1 A Pm flrtps Crtui Tartar Ptwdcr. 0 YEARS THE STANDARD. mm SUMMER LOTHIING, CAPS, II oods, GlutlllllO Harris settled in Stark county, Ohio, where he grew to manhood and was married on the 3rd day of October, 1850, to Margaret Shultz, of the same place, who has been his help mate and companion through life, and who is now left a widow in advanced age. To this union were born eight children, three sons and five daughters, who all survive him except one, a daughter, who died when four years old.

He leaves twenty seven grand children and one great grand child, besides a host of friends and distant relatives to mourn the loss of a good neighbor and kind friend, but their loss is his eternal gain. After his marriage Mr. Rusher remained on his father in law's farm and in April, 1S54, came with his family to this county and settled on the farm where he died. He lived there continually from the time he came to this county until his death, except one year, when he went to Ohio to take care of his parents. He, at the age of 18 or 19, took a course of catechetical instruction and identified himself with the old school Lutheran church.

After coming to this county he immediately united with the St. Peter's congregation of the same denomination and remained a faithful member of the same until its reoganiza tion into an Evangelical Lutheran church, when he also united with the same and remained a faithful member until death. During his illness he bore his pain and suffering without complaint, having implicit faith in the language of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, when he said: "Light afflictions which are but for a moment work out for us a far more and exceeding weight of glory." Early in married life Mr. Rusher set up a family altar, and never forgot to worship. He set a worthy example before his family, as well as community in which he gained Christain spirit and loving friendship.

Ofttimes during his illness he expressed his willingness to leave this sinful world and join the Divine band in the Eternal Kingdom above. He read much in his Bible and selected the text from which he de sired to have his funeral sermon preached. He never regretted hav ing given his life's service to Christ. He took his bed on the 9th of April, 1897, and was not able to be up more than a few hours at a time in the early days of confinement, and for the last three months was not able to be up at all. He was conscious of all that transpired around him until he peacefully and quietly closed his eyes in death on the 3rd day of 1897, at 8:30 a.

aged 73 years, 3 months and 18 days. Funeral services were held August 5 at St. Peter's Union church were very largely attended. Services were conducted by Rev. An shutz, of North Manchester, assisted by Rev.

Jordon. His life a failure cannot be Who thus early sseksthe Lord, And in His footsteps joy can see Is guided by his way.

Here is a glove "wrinkle" used by a well known society lady, and which is vouched for by her as infallible in its effects: She procures a tin box or a jar with a tight, close fitting cover, and puts into the bottom a lot of lump ammonia.

At the end of this time she removet the gloves, and every spot will be found to have vanished. isjicycie i 80 TALKING IT OVER. People Are Still Playing the Wabash Ball Game. Last Sunday's ball game at Wabash continues to be the main topic of conversation on thestreets.

People are kept busy playing the game over and over again and the only thing lacking about the conversations is the fights that took place on the grounds at Wabash. Everybody is tickled almost to death over the victory achieved by the Huntington club. It seemed to be the play of the Lafontaine team to wear out Gatf ney. They compelled him to pitch as many balls in four innings as are usually pitched in a whole game. It was no fault of Gaffney that the score went where it it did.

Such pitching as he did wouk'1 win nine games out of ten. 1 Lafontaine comes to Huntington for a game at the fair grounds on Thursday of this week. They can be assured of fair play and the game will not be interferred with by the disgraceful scenes that marred last Sunday's game at Wabash. Huntington has none of that kind of people, and Lafontaine will get as fair a shake here as they could get in any place. If they win it will be on account of superior ball playing.

Bluffton plavs here on the 17th. This will be a good game, as those who witnessed the game at Bluff ton a few days ago can testify. There are a good many people who think that Show should captain the Huntington team and sit on the bench. He has a good base ball head and his services as captain would count. Gaffney is receiving great praise for the excellent pitching he did in the game.

Although the score showed up against him, yet it is none to his discredit, because it was a noticeable fact that the team behind him gave him the poorest kind of support during(the early part of the game. And another thing that worked against him was the large number of foul balls hit by the Lafontaine players. It is safe to say that Gaffney pitched from .10 to 12 to nearly every man who faced him. This would wear out any man and it is a wonder that he could stand the work as long as he did. The errors by the Huntington' team were all made while Gaffney was pitching.

It must be acknowledged by everybody that the Lafontaine team is the toughest timber the Huntington club has tried to saw out this season. They all play ball and no amateur club has much license to beat them. It is greatly to the credit of the home team that they won the Sunday game. Real Estate Transfers. Minnie Brettelle to Chas.
