There was a marked falling
off of the vote in Custer county
this year from the registration.
In Challis precinct alone there
were 272 registered and only 24t
voted. Other precincts in the
county showed a greater de.
crease. The nomination of Par
ker cooled the ardor of democ
racy here. The woods are full
of democrats" in Custer county
but the wouldn't come out of tn,
woods, and those that did com
out voted the republican ticket.
Now let republicans say, i
they dare, after the election re

BUT GIRL TURNS HIM DOWN

A young colored man Of this city,
after working hard for nearly a
week in an effort to get married,
overcoming all obstacles thrown i'll
his way by the law, encountered OPP
position from a quarter yesterday
morning which were entirely unlock
ed for and which probably will ruin
all his we'll laid plans. The oppo-
sition was the young lady whom he
desired to marry.
Several days ago this colored man
entered the county clerks office and
asked for a marriage license. 1t
developed that the bridc-to-be and
the anxious @room-to-be were both
minors. Clerk Haas refused him a
license on this ground. Tuesday aft
ernoon the young man reappeared at
the clerk : office. this time with the
written consent Of his mother. who
lives in Frankfort. KY, and the con-
sent Of the girls mother. Both let
ters spoke in the most enthusiastic
manner Of the proposed union be
tween the two young people. The IL
cense was issued and the $500 col
lected Yesterday afternoon the col
ored man again made his appearance
before Clerk Haas, but with his mar
riage license torn to bits. These
fragments of paper he deposited on
the desk while he was busy explain
ing that when he presented himself
before his lady love with the license.
she lost her temper and IN the scene
which followed he also lost his and
tore the official document into rib
bons. After regaining his self-con-
troll he became frightened because
he thought by tearing up the license
he had done something unlawful. so
he brought the remains of his hard
worlIed-for license back to the clerk.
Mr.. Haas patched the paper up with
the aid of some paste and is preserv-
ing it as curio He also preserves
the 5000.

PROTESTED
Was the Game Last Night by Indi-
annapolis -Doherty's Stick.

The game last night between In
dianapolis and Richmond has been
protested by the indianapolis man
agement because Barney Doherty
played with polo stick loaded with
lead. just as the two. teams lined
up for the first rush, Half Back
O'Hara skated up to Referee Lat
ham and made a protest against the
stick the blonde Quaker half back
was playing with. Latham examined
the club and told Doherty that it
was loaded with lead and ordered
him not to play with it, which order
Barney ignored. The Indianapolis
players then stated that they would
play the game under protest. Imme-
diately after the contest this protest
was fled with the president Of the
league and the new arbitration COM
mittee will have it's first case to de-
eide.

SOME OF HIS DUTIES

The Merchants Association of
Richmond, Ind, was organized SIX
months ago. 1t now has a member
ship of one hundred and twenty mer-
chants, representing different mercan
tile houses IN the city of Richmond,
including the banks and newspapers.
The chief objects Of the organiza-
ton are to protect the merchants
against fake schemes Of advertisers,
peddlers and travellers, and the loss
Of accounts by selling to dead beats,
and to promote the business inter-
ests Of the City of Richmond and to
promote the growth and prosperity
of the city in every legitimate way.
The organization is strong one. All
the representative business houses in
Richmond are members, and recent
" il leased the second floor of the
Masonic Temple, formerly occupied
by the c. II. 4 Nj. r., for Its perma-
nent headquarters, and at a recent
business meeting Of the executive com
mittee in con- junction with the com,
mittee on manufactures and com
merce were authorized to secure the
services of a permanent secretary,
on who could give his entire and un-
divided time and attention to the In
tcrests Of the association. The COM
mittee reported yesterday that it
had secured the services of w. f..

R. & NJ Ry., but at present en-
ployed in the Office Of the Chandelier

TWO ELEvENS ARE RIVALS

Last evening about O'Clock Man
ager Albertson, of the Earlham
football team received word by long
distance telephone that Miami would
not play the game scheduled with
Earlham for today. The only expla-
nation the Miami manager would
make was that his team was discour-
aged with their showing and had dis
banded for the season, despite his
protests. Professor Sackett was no.
tilted and he called up the president
of. Miami University and protested
in Vigorous terms the unsportsman
like action in cancelling the most i'm
.portant game on the Earlham sched
uie at the eleventh hour.
Two weeks ago Miami turned the
same trick on Wabash College, say
ing that their team had disbanded.
When this action was learned by
Manager Albertson he made inquir-
les of the Miami management if they
intended .cancelling the Thanksgiv-
ing game and was assured that Mi
ami would fulfill her engagement.
When the members of the Rich
mond City team learned that the
Earlham- Miami game had been de-
clared off they promptly offered to
help Manager Albertson out Of his
predicament by playing in the place
of the Oxford eleven. The Earl
hamites were only too glad to accept
the city teams offer and the game
on Reid field this afternoon promises
to be even more interesting and ex-
citing than a contest between Mi
ami and Earlham as it will decide
the championship Of the city. The
two teams met early in the season
and the score resulted in a tie, 0 to
0. The city lads are the natural
rivals of the Earlhamites and both

Both Parties.
SAVED BACHMEyER HOUSE

On the Libetry pike, south of the
city, the barns belonging to William
Backmeyer and Mrs. Laut were
gutted by fire yesterday afternoon at
2 O'Clock. Mr.. Bacllmeyer had $7o
insurance and he estimates his loss
at 81 900 and ST 200. Mrs. Laut had
moved from her farm several days
ago and there was not much property
stored in the. building. 1t is not
known what her loss will amount to
or how much insurance she had on
the barn.
The fire originated from Il spark
thrown out by a traction engine and
it was only through the hardest
kind Of work that the residence OF
Mr.. Backmeyer, the farm ut-build-
ings and the greenhouses were saw
ed. Many men got on the roofs OF
the out-buildings and with hose at
tached to the water works pipes in
the greenhouses, kept constant
streams Of water playing on the resi-
dence and the greenhouses, saving
them from destruction.
About 2 o'clock traction engine
entered the barn yard to get sup
ply of water. A spark set on fire
pile Of waste next to the barn and
in few minutes one of the farm
hands noticed cloud Of smoke is
suing from the interior of the build
ing. He gave the alarm and a min
ute later the barn was ablaze. The
one horse that was in the building, a
cart and wagon were gotten out of
the burning building, but everything
else was totally destroyed. Sparks
from the burning building descended
on the roof Of Mrs. Laut s barn,
which was two hundred yards dis
tant, and in few minutes that
building was also in flames. Bucket
brigades We're formed, but the fire
fighters were unable to stop the pro-
gress of the blaze. Mr.. Backmey-
er considers it fortunate that every
building in the neighborhood was not
destroyed.

THE QUESTION
IS UNSETTLED
OLD HOME OF UNITED PRES
BYTERIAN CONGREGATION
TORE DOWN.
THE UNITED BRETHREN
Figured on Securing it for Place of
Worship But Make No
Decision.
THE UNITED BRETHREN

The question Of what will be done
with the old United Presbyterian
Church building, corner North Ele-
venth and B, when the congrega-
ton of that church moves into its
new home, the Reid Memorial church,
which is now being built, is still un-
decided.
Some time ago a committee of the
United Brethren congregation, who
at present own no building of their
own, figured on purchasing the old
church building but lately negotia-
tions seem to have been suspended.
The United Brethren is the youngest
denomination in this city but lately
it begun to increase in membership
SO rapidly that the church officials
have been obliged to look around for
building that would make a good
permanent place of worship. Last
Year the United Brethren worship
ped in the Rhoda Temple but this
year services are conducted in the
G. A. r. hall.
1t is the plan Of the building com
mittee of the United Presbyterian
church to erect new parsonage and
it has been suggested by some of the
church members that the old church
building be torn down and the new
residence Of The pastor be built on
its site. This plan however, is not
regarded feasible by the majority Of
the congregation who favor either
renting the old building or selling ii
outright to desirable parties Anoth-
er story that has been going the
rounds is that the church will be
torn down and an apartment house
erected. This is not regarded as
probable The committee who have
