Mr. and Mrs. Ed Phillips went to Wabash today to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Barrington. The weather clerk, who, by the way, has very little regard for the feelings of the dear public and just about as little for the calendar which says that it is now spring. On Friday the gentleman got hold of the wrong lever in the weather power house and turned on a few snow storm scenes that were not equalled in the dead of the winter months. He did a beautiful job of lightning Change w T ork, too, for one minute the sun would be shining and the next the snow would be flying so thick in I the air that one could scarcely see fifty feet ahead. The “boss” barbers of Indianapolis I have retained attorneys to test the I law enacted by the recent Legislature | prohibiting Sunday barbering. One j' of them kept open on Sunday and an affidavit of information was filed against him on which a trial suit will be based. The matter will be cari ried to the Supreme court as soon as possible for a final decision. The union barbers throughout the S state were responsible for the enactt ment of the law, which even forbids a social club from slowing its barber to make its members presentable ‘ on the Sabbath. A law passed by the last legislature I requires every passenger train to I carry a flagman and as the laws went into effect on Wednesday, the railI roads are already complying with the I requirement and are placing on extra I man on their passenger trains. The Monon railroad was one of the first 5 in the state to comply with the law. i The law says that any train that car- | ries passengers! mall or express mati ter and that has five or more coaches ’ must carry, when beyond the yard I limits, a fireman, a conductor, a brake- > man and a flagman, but that neither i the brakeman nor the flagman shall ■ act as baggageman or express mes- ■ senger. The purpose of the law in adding another man to the crew of a passenger train is to insure greater safety to the traveling public.

Heischy, of Berne, was a business caller to our city today. John Kelley, of Geneva, was a business caller to our city today. C. W. Yager, of Pleasant Mills, was a business caller to our city today. William Anderson, of Geneva, was a business caller to our city today. Jacob Butcher, of Gneva, was attending to legal matters in our city today. Your "Uncle Rube” will be glad to see you at the Opera House, Monday April 22nd. Watch for the musical program of “Uncle Rube" at Bosse Opera House Monday April 22nd. You “auto” see the automobile chorus with “Uncle Rube” at the Opera House, Monday April 22nd. Mrs. Sam Schindler returned this morning from Berne where she spent Sunday with relatives. Mrs. Smith returned to her home at Monroeville today. While here she was the guest of Mrs. George Doctor.

Miss Stella Wemhoff returned to Ft. Wayne this morning. While here she was the guest of her mother, Mrs. Mary Wemhoff. A special bowling match has been arranged at the Palace alleys for this evening between several parties who are aspiring for the local championship. The contest promises to be very interesting. The furniture in the interurban office is receiving a new coat of paint and when the same is open for the public’s use will present a handsome appearance. The work of laying the track and relaying the brick has been practically completed and by the later part of this week the cars will be running through the business section of our city. Mrs. Charles S. Stahl, widow of “Chick” Stahl, who committed suicide two weeks ago at West Baden, left for her former home at Roxbury, Mass., last evening. Since the funeral of her husband Mrs. Stahl has been very ill at the Stahl home on East Lewis street. She had intended to leave for the east immediately, but the condition of her health was such that not until yesterday would the attending physicians lend their sanction to her making the long journey.—Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette. The blind tiger law passed by the late legislature has already received a hard jolt. Judge Fortune, of the city court at Terre Haute, has just decided that the new law is unconstitutional because it contained subjects not expressed in title, because it provided excessive fines and punishment for having in possession intoxicants for selling, of which a smaller penalty is provided and because no provision for search and seizure is provided for separately in the constitution. In the case before him he issued an order for the return of beer and other bottled goods taken in the raid of a saloon. There is not much question but that Jerome’s speech to the Thaw jury exerted a tremendous influence upon the minds of the jurors. It was forceful, logical and Ingenious, and largely counteracted the brilliant plea of the California lawyer. The latter’s effort no doubt captivated sentimentalists and flighty individuals, but there was little in it that appealed to the hard headed, common sense man. It was built upon a foundation, too, that, to say the least, was extremely shaky, while Jerome had the law to rely upon and besides was able to riddle the unnatural story told by the fragile Evelyn.—Columbia City Post.

’ShapeHness The shape-retaining qualities of the “Krippendorf” Oxford are one of its strong features. When a lady has worn a pair of these Oxfords three or six months and they retain their shapelines > when she wants another pair she thinks of “Krippendorf’s.” Price $3.00 and $3.50

Butler and Butler the cement contractors this morning commenced work at the packing house putting in cement floors. This building when completed will be one of the best ever erected in this city and reflects great credit upon the men who are behind this concern. Tom Railing will go to Ft. Wayne next Sunday, where he will join the Shamrocks and go to South Bend, where he is scheduled to pitch a game against the Central leaguers. Tom is working every day and fully expects to defeat the South Benders. Tom will also pitch against Garrett the following Sunday. Clarence Bremerkamp was arrested this morning by Marshal Green on an affidavit issued and sworn to by Ben Emerine charging Bremerkamp with disturbing a church meeting, he having committed the offense at the Mission. He will have his hearing this evening before Squire Smith, and as we understand he will stand trial.

The brick layers started in today to lay the brick at the Murray hotel and the same will be rushed to completion, the weather permitting. The job is in the hands of John Bollinger and a force of men and will be done according to the'plans and specifications. Constable Frank Smith has, during the past several days experienced trouble in settling the family differences between several families in the north end. How the difficulty will turn out and be adjusted is being watched with considerable interest by those who are acquainted with the facts. Arrangements are being made by the local order of Eagles to charter a special car of the Ft. Wayne and Springfield interurban railway for Friday evening to go to Ft. Wayne to take in the Eagles show. They have already secured fifty who have pledged themselves to take in this excursion and they will no doubt be able to announce more fully the arrangements tomorrow. Julius Haugk is at present busily engaged in pumping the water out of his quarry and by Wednesday he fully expects to be ready to take out stone and supply the wants of his customers. He w’ill want a large force of men to work and desiring positions will do well by making their application early. Mr. Haugk expects to work the quarry at full blast all summer. J. Frank Cramer, who for the past year has been in the employ of this office as linotype operator, has resigned his position owing to ill health. While with us Mr. Cramer proved himself a competent and reliable workman and was ready to jump into the ranks of professionalism in his line, but ill health forced him out of the business. He expects to remain in this city and will secure some work that will require him to remain out of doors at all hours.

A GOOD WORD Rev. Ulmer Thinks we Are Ail Right A STIRRING. HUSTLING CITY Suggests Banishment of Gin Mills— Thanks Citizens and Press for Taylor University. After a few days in Decatur, I want to say that I am ready to put it down as one of the stirring, hustling little cities that does not profess to be a back number, but is bound to see something doing. My work has brought me into close contact with many of its leading men, and I am free to say that I have found few places where every fellow acted if he did not say it, “We are the people." Not a kicker in the whole bunch. Every man is for “Decatur.” Your battle is half won for your ideal city. I wonder if I might suggest that ’twould be a good plan to put the gin mills out of business before all your big factories get in. You can prevent more easily than you can cure. Personally, I have been kindly received and royally treated by everyone. Some of the “substantial” that we need for Taylor has been handed to me, with much encouragement that more will be forthcoming, after the present paroxysm of “home boosting” has settled down, and these openhanded people get settled down, and the financial pendulum strikes an even swing again. Have had many invitations to call again, a little later, I desire to express especial appreciation for the words and help of my friend, Rev. John C. Whte, and to the press. Especially has the Daily Democrat, aided my work by" allotting to my work so great an amount of space, day after day. In behalf of Taylor university, I heartily thank these good people, and invite them all to come and see me —if they can catch me at home—prefer that they not all come at once. Make Taylor a visit and investigate, when she is at work. Yours with good wishes for Decatur, GEOLET ULMER, Fin. Agt. A Van Camp made a business trip to Ft. Wayne this morning. The city council will meet in regular session tomorrow evening, at which time they will hear objections to the Third street improvement and also take up some matters in relation to the construction of cement sidewalks along the north Second street improvement. Taking it all in all, the session promises to be an interesting one. Willard and Andrew McConnehey were arrested Saturday night by Marshal Green and deputy sheriff Butler and now languish in jail to answer to a charge of stealing chickens. The affidavit was filed before the mayor by H. Lambert and some of the chickens that had been stolen were identified at the packing house where the boys had sold them. They will be given a preliminary hearing this evening. Double Star Little Known. Not every one is aware that Mizar, the second star in the big dipper, is a double star. To observe this doublet on a clear night requires good vision. Some Consolation. Distinguished Surgeon (to widow whose husband has just died from an operation he had performed)—At least, my dear madam, you have the satisfaction of knowing that your husband didn’J die under the knife of a medical bungler.
