CRISIS IN WAR'S
CRUCIAL FIGHT.
Disregarding Terrible Carnage,
German Masses Continue Ham
mering on Allies' Line Between
Dixmude and Ypres, Claiming
Steady Advance.
London, Nov. 12 —A Critical
stage in the battle in West Fland
ers has been reached and the next
few days, if not hours, should pro
duce something more decisive than
has yet occurred.
The Germans have continued to
attack with all the forces at their
command and the British and the
French, who hold the line between
Dixmude and Ypres, but with the
exception of the capture of Dix
mude, which occurred Tuesday,
and some little progress around
Ypres, they have not been able to
make any material advance.
The French official report, is
sued this afternoon, says that all
the attacks have been repulsed.
The Germans are no longer utiliz
ing green troops in this region,
but have brought up the pick of
their army, including some Prus
sian guards, who attempted an of
fensive movement against the Brit
ish, but without success.
Both sides express satisfaction
FAMOUS 'CELLIST IN TOWN.
Frederick Preston Search to Give

Frederick Preston Search, said
to be "America's Greatest 'Cell

the first time a great 'cello play

'cello, while not as common as the
violin, is conceded to be the king
of all stringed instruments, when
in the hands of an artist.
Mr. Search is ably assisted by
Robert Raymond Lippitt, an emi

treat is in store for all who enjoy
good music. The concert is one

Berlin says that the attacks of the
allies have been repulsed and that
their own attack is making head
way; while in London and i aris
it is felt that so long as t! e allies
can hold the line of the canal from
Nieuport to Ypres their position
is a strong one.
. Prepare Winter Quarters.
In France from the northwest
to the southeast there have been
engagements of lesser importance,
in which, according to the French
report, General Joffre's unities
have succeeded in gaining ground
and strengthening their positions.
The Germans continue to destroy
bridges and railways in Belgium,
but with what object remains a se
cret. It is thought, however, that
they are making preparations to
winter in that country apd they
are taking every step to prevent
their plans from becoming known
to their enemies.

WILL START OPERATIONS
Sutter Brothers Purchase Plotzer
Farm in Center Township
for $25,500
By a deal consummated Wed
nesday between L. F. Sutter, of
Indiana, and his brother A. P. Sut
ter, of Valier, parties of the first
part, and the Plotzer estate, par
ties of the second part, the Sutter
men become the owners of the
Plotzer farm, along Yellow creek,
in Center and Brushvalley town
ships. The farm, which is under-
Kid with two seams of coal con
tains 204 acres, and the contract
price, at $125 ar< acre, amounted
to $25,500, and the deal includes
both the surface and coal of the
farm.
The Sutters will at onec com
mence the openings and hope
within the next year to have the
coa ready or shipment. The tract,
which is one of the best in the
county, contains two seams, one
four-foot, or Miller or B seam, and
the other six-foot, or Freeport
seam. Owing to the close proxim
ity of the two seams, the Sutters
have found that it will be possible
to have both of them worked over
the same tipple. They will be
both drift propositions and a busy
time is in store for the Sutter men
from this time forward.
The new owners of the farm
have not yet decided which rail
road they will patronize in the
shipment of the coal, as the Penn
sylvania and Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg railways both have
branches in that vicinity. This de
cision will be a matter for serious
Consideration after the operations
have been started.
Foot and Mouth Disease
Closes a Glass Plant
Upon the advices of the State
Sanitary Livestock board the Dia
mond Glass Company, of Indiana,
has been closed by the terrible
spread of the foot and mouth dis
ease that is spreading the coun
try. The quarantine may keep
the concern shut down indefinite
ly. The local concern receives a
majority of its straw for packing
from stockyards which are now
under quarantine. As a conse
quence all of the straw now in the
factory will have to be thoroughly
fumigated or destroyed. The or
ders from the State Department
will necessitate the unpacking of
hundreds of barrels and boxes, in
which the suspected straw was
used and it will cover a period of
two weeks to do this additional
labor on the unpacking alone.

Indiana Jurors' Pay
Stops When Discharged.
A deceision reached by Judge S.
J. Telford and the county com
missioners Wednesday settles the
question of jurors' pay in the
county. At each session of coun
ty court there has been consider
able discussion as to the actual
time when the service of a juror
ends and his pay discontinues.
of the jurors have contend
ed that they were entitled to a
day's pay after their discharge, in
addition to mileage to cover ex
penses iri returning home. This
was particularly true with jurors
from the rural districts, who, in
many cases were obliged to spend
a night here after being discharg
ed before they could get transpor
tation home.
According to the decision reach
ed by Judge Telford and the com
missioners the pay of each juror
stops when he is discharged, the
county declaring that the mileage
allowed is sufficient to compen
sate those from distant points for
additional expenses and time.
