A Kansas editor, who contracted the habit of going to church has this i> say: “Ladies should take off their hats in church. No preacher, can inspire a man who is looking into a lopsided aggregation of dead birds, stuffed weasels, Chamelion skins, übbons beads, sticks, straws, corn tassels and thistle down. It makes a sinner fee! lost in a wilderness. While car number tw’o on the interurban bill was enroute to Ft. Wayne yesterday afternoon it was discovered that the car was on fire underneath, which necessitated a stop and some trouble was experienced in putting ihe same out. The car caught on fire from an exposed wire. The damage done the car was slight, as though the time consumed in putting the fire out

caused a delay of fifteen minutes.

The chewing gum machine at the Clover Leaf depot was broken into last night and a number of packages of gum were stolen. It is thought that) some boy did the trick. Just such small acts are what lead the young boys to be criminals, and while the affair appears to be a trivial one, yet it is as bad as stealing larger and more expensive articles. An effort will be made to ascertain who the guilty party is. The game between Fti. Wayne and Garrett yesterday was witnessed by a number of local sports from this city, who disired to see Tom Railing work out and which they did to their satisfaction, Tom winning his game by" a score of 5 to 2, and allowing the Garrett team but four hits.

Hensley has on exhibition this morning two new species of fowls that seems to be nameless, at least no one seems to know anything about them. However, several theories have been advanced and we give them for what they are worth. One is a species of the Eagle and resembles the Osprey very much, while the other as near as can be figured out is an English railbird found in South Africa. The former was killed near Willshire, while the iater was caught alive north of the city, and is in a cage on exhibition at Mr. Hensley’s.

It has just been given out on good authority that the Winona Assembly management has added to its already strong working force, Rev. J. F.

The Decatur Horse Sale company is getting more popular each day, and it draws the best of horse buyers from all over the country, and but realize how much good our city derives from 1 this new enterprise. Mrs. DeVilbiss and daughter, Mrs. Fanny Cole, are expected to arrive in our city Wednesday and will make ( this city their future home. They will occupy the house now being built by A. R. Bell on Madison street opposite the Murray hotel. Everything in police circles is very quiet and our city seems to have taken on a cloak of good behavior.

Simon Beyler, a farmer near Winamac, placed a SI,OOO mortgage on his farm in 1876, paying 10 per cent, interest the first five years, 8 per cent for eighl years and 6 per cent, up to the present time.

Mr. Behringer seems satisfied wi:h his selections and seems confident that he will have a winner. We are informed that an old-fash-ioned family fight was held last evening on First street that for a time looked squally, but which eventually blew oyer without any apparent damage being done.

The treasurer’s office from this time on until next Monday will be kept open from seven o’clock in the morning until eight o’clock in the evening to accommodate those who will come in late to pay their taxes.

The local school boys have been practising daily and expect to book several good attractions before the close of school. Athletics in the public school have again awakened and they should be encouraged by every citizen. The opening of the baseball season for Decatur will open on May the 12th, when a team will be taken to Ft. Wayne to play the-Shamrocks. Railing will do the pitching for the locals and a battle royal may be looked for, as the two teams will be about evenly matched. It is possible that several members of the new team will report for duty by that time, and the locals will thus be represented by a strong aggregation.

Work began this morning on the new' cement walks on north Second street and that boulevard will soon be one of the most attractive in the city. The walks will be five feet wide. J. F.

Kauffman and Saunders, the champion two-men team bowlers of Ft. Wayne .will, on some evening this week, meet two of Decatur’s best bowlers and the battle for supremacy will be interesting.

We were informed this afternoon by the operator at the G. R. & I. that the condition of conductor Hayes was not as serious as was first thought and that he will no doubt speedily recover. The injuries he received were painful, but She skull is not fractured as was first thought.
