In just twenty-four hours after the fireworks opens f?r a flfty thousand dollar fsc.tory fun-" up jumps over r. hundred loyal knights of the boom brigade, and snaps up enough pledges to start the march on the third quarter. Is Decatur slow? Well, we guess not. She is about the fleetest pacer on the track, has wind to burn and will come dswn the home stretch as fresh as a daisy. The people of Decatur are respond-

ing nobly, thus showing their loyalty and their interest in making Decatur what it should be and what it will be, 1 a rattling good manufacturing little city. In fact the people are determined that the time for expansion is at hand, and that thq only way to ex- 1 pand is to supply ourselves with the sinews of war. and locate an institution that furnishes employment Imagine what it would mean for Decatur to furnish house room for one hun1 dred and fifty skilled mechanics. Imagine what it would mean to the I business man, the real estate owner, the landlord and every one else to have a manufacturing institution that would pay out $3,000 or $4,000 a week. Nearly every one would get a piece | of that money. Business in all lines

would boom, real estate would take on value, rents would increase and everybody would flourish as they never flourished before. Every loyal patriot that has not, as yet, taken cn the ribbon, should walk up and ask for a pledge. Do not wait for a solicitation. It is yout affair just as much as it is the member cf any committee. Get right into the swim. Solicit your neighbor, talk pledge and lot and fifty thousand dollar factor}' fund until your tongue hangs. Make this the gamest fight fcr business expansion ever made in Decatur. According to the newspaper correspondents up in that territory Col. C. G. Conn’s gubernatorial boom is getting a fine send-off from men of all parties tn " northwestern Indiana, where the horn-maker is well liked and has money enough to indulge his fancies. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

LITIGATION ENDED McKean vs City has Been Compromised AFTER LONG SEIGE IN COURT Price of Settlement is Three Hundred Dollars, Each Side to Pay Thejr . * »» . . • ’ •“«.♦- * ■ Own Costs. < ( * r . The case of George E. McKean against the city of Decatur, which has been pending for several years and which was set down for trial at Fort Wayne for tomorrow will never be tried, as the finance committee representing the city on yesterday entered into an agreement with the attorneys Peterson & Moran, who represent Mr. McKean, whereby the case was settled, the city agreeing to pay McKean the sum of S3OO and each side to pay their own costs in the case. This case originated several years age owing to the fact that the '■mayot refused to sign an order for McKean which called for $425 which the city council had allowed for services in the construction of Monroe and Fourth street, McKean's contract with the city calling for a certain per cent if the improvements during his term of office exceeded a certain amount. The case was tried in the Alien Circuit Court and a verdict was rendered against McKean and the case was appealed to the supreme court. There the decision of the lower court was reversed and the case sent back for a new trial. It was tried in January and resulted in a disagreemnt of the jury and had been set dowm for trial again tomorrow. The council has been trying to effect a settlement in the case for some time and were only yesterday able to accomplish their end. Thus ends a case that has been of considerable expense and annoyance to the city and which will no doubt meet with the approval of all concerned.

Washington, March 13.—George E. Roberts, director of the mint, who is regarded as an authority on economic subjects, looks upon the tight--1 ness of the money market and the ’ prevailing high rates of interest as a I sure indication of prosperity, in spite • of the general complaint of the in- ! creased cost of living. He admits, " however, that unless salaries are rais- ’ ed the average earner is likely to be " hard hit by this “prosperity.” Washington, March 13. —The White House sheltered two distinguished , railroad men yesterday at different times.

The New York Herald had the following concern’ng "A Rorunre t Coon Hollow,” when originally produced at the Fourteenth Street 1 heatre: “It is styled a romantic comedy, but it had a melodramatic flavor, being well provided with thrilling incidents and exciting situations, and embracing some very realistic mechanical effects, which served to enthuse the spectators. The piece was beautifully staged, every attention being ' paid to detail. That the audience was ‘ well pleased, may be inferred from the heartiness and frequency of the applause bestowed, and by the recalls with which the leading performers I were favored during the evening. The ' scenes representing ‘Coon Hollow,’ the Steamboat Race and the Cotton I Compress in operation, were very realistic, while the negro dances and choruses in the third act woke the audience into a wild enthusiasm. Some very beautiful and novel electrical effects were produced.” “A Romance of Coon Hollow” with the original ( New York cast and scenery, and the I “hottest” troupe’ of colored buck dancers and singes extant, will be seen at the Bosse Opera House, Monday, March 18. — o PUBLIC SALE.
