A number of the local Eagles and Elks were at Fort Wayne yesterday, attending the funeral of ‘‘Chiek'' Stahl. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Fort Wayne. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Glllig and two children, residing in Fort Recovery, 0., spent a short time tn Portand Saturday on their way to Decatur for a short visit with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Gilllg.—Portland Review. The Decatur boys who are working on the pipe line near Craigville, were forced to walk home Saturday evening, owing to a wreck on the Clover Leaf, which blocked all passenger and freight traffic. The boys arrived home about twelve thirty Sunday morning. The old electric light towers, erected at Goshen twenty years ago and once the pride of the town, are being torn down and will be soid for junk. They had rusted so as to be dangerous and are no longer considered desirable for lighting purposes. The last car from Fort Wayne last evening arrived in Decatur something like thirty-five minutes late, owing to one of the motors burning out. The accident happened just as the car was starting from Fort Wayne, and the damage was repaired without much trouble, outside of throwing the car behind time. The pipe line that has been under construction for several weeks between Montpelier and Preble, ' was completed this morning when a gate was put in near Poneto, and the oil turned into the line. It is rumored that another line is to be bull through this vicinity and that a big pumping station will be erected south of town. —Bluffton Banner. The dance given this evening by the

Columbian club at the K. of C. hall, promises to be the social event of the season, and a lar '.e crowd is expected. This is the firs;, event of this kind given by this cl.ib and It promises to be something out of the ordinary. The club is composed of a number of young people who have a reputation as being entertainers and they will no doubt live up to that reputation. While in Fort Wayne Sunday, we i ran across “Cappy” Collars, the ball ■player, and he looks as young as ever. I “Cappy” is one of the best known ball players in Indiana and without doubt, is more popular than any other player in the state. It would be a good idea for the local management to try and get Collars to manage the team during the coming season, as he develops the ginger and that is what Is needed. Friday morning the Rev. C. King ’ and wife of Dunkirk, Ind., arrived in the city and Mrs. King purchased some South Broadway poperty from W. E. Doud as an investment. This

is the third piece of Ft. Wayne property Mrs. King has purchased in Ft. Wayne in he past few years for investment purposes. Mrs. King will be remembered by. her Ft. Wayne friends as Miss Granger, a sister of Horace Granger.—Fort Wayne News. Said the speaker at a lawyers’ dinner: "We lawyers couldn't do better than to resolve in the new year to be gentler in our cross-examinatons. Rudeness in cross-examination never, never pays. This is a truth that I once saw proved in a damage suit. In this suit a cross-examination lawyer shouted at a witness in overalls: ‘You there, in the overalls, how much are ycu paid for telling untruths?’ ‘Less than you are,’ the witness retored, ‘or you'd be in overalls, too.’ ” The horse sale conducted on North Main street this afternoon introduced some innovations. Just after the noon hour a brass band was started up the street to draw a crowd and several hundred people were gathered at the sale stable when the auctioneer announced that the bidding was about i ready to commence. A number of horses were offered for sale and the prices quoted were very satisfactory. A number of these sales have been j held so far during the spring months I and they will be continued throughout the summer. —Bluffton Banner.

Smith of Richmond, was attending to banking matters in our city today. A number of Decatur people are preparing to attend the Prince of India at Fort Wayne this week. The show will open at the Majestic theatre tonight and show ail week. It is a rival to Ben Hur. The Clover Leaf suffered a wreck near Craigville Saturday afternoon, the exact cause of the same not being known, but it is thought it was due to an axle breaking. The damage done was slight, but passenger and freight traffic was tied up for some time. No one was injured. Willard McConnehey was arrested Saturday evening by the police and was immediately arraigned before Mayor Coffee, the case being dismissed, as no one appeared to prosecute McConnehey. The arrest was due to a little family disturbance in which it was alleged that McConnehey struck his wife several times. A Clover Leaf detective arrived this afternoon from Toledo, with instructions from the railroad company to file charges against a man known as Boston, who assaulted a brakeman on their road one day last week. The detective was closeted with Prosecutor Heller for some time and it is a sure thing that Mr. Boston may be handed a lengthy session with Sheriff Meyer. A man pretty well filled w’ith booze Sunday morning stepped into the Aveline hotel at Fort Wayne, and created quite a scene. The fellow was a dejected looking man and before permitting him to leave the hotel, the employes searched him and found a small bottle in his pocket containing carbolic acid. What he was doing with this deadly poison he refused to state. A judicial investigation may disclose the fact that numerous divorces in Howard county are invalid, having been secured possibly by fraudulent I testimony. Prosecuting Attorney J. F. Cooper has started an investigation of the divorce case of Ollie Wiley against Samuel Wiley. Mr. Wiley being at the time Mrs. Wiley secured the divorce, Nov. 19, a resident of Lawrence, Marion county.

The Muncie Star of yesterday, contained a picture of Miss Perle Burdg and Miss Alma Dailey of this city, under a head and title of the "Most Beautiful Women of Indiana.” The correspondent, whoever he may be. showed good judgment in making his selections as the two Decatur ladies far outshine any of the other pictures under the same head. The photos are excellent likenesses of the two young ladies. A large portion of the employes at the Clover Leaf shops were laid off Friday and today, presumably to cut expenses. Business on the road has been a little slack during the last few weeks. The extra trainmen are having very little to do and some of them are becoming very much dissatisfied as they are hardly able to make a living. It is said that eight engines at Delphos and Frankfort have been whiteleaded, which means they are not to be used until business opens up. The immense coal business between Holgate and Toledo, was entirely cut off for a time on account of the recent washout on the B. & 0., in the eastern part of the state. The railroad boys hope, however, that business will soon pick up and they will again be given their old time run. — Delphos Herald. For the first time in the history of Indiana, it is said, the governor has called his executive staff together for an Easter ball. The event is to take place at Peru, tonight, when the new armory of Company L Third Regiment, I. N. G., will be formally dedicated. Invitations have been issued to 1,500 persons, and the guests of honor will be Governor Hanly, his staff and their ladies, who already have signified their intention to be present. Three traction cars have been chartered to carry them from Indianapolis. A banquet will be held at the Bears hotel, at 6 o’clock. Music I will be furnished by the Third Regiment band of Peru.
