Lew Coffee went to Lima, Ohio, yesterday afternoon, Where he will visit for a short time. Judge Lafolette, of Portland, is in our city acting in the capacity of special judge in a case. Wiliam Harmon returned to Toledo last evening after making a pleasant visit her with relatives. Ireta Butler, five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Butler, is very seriously sick with malarial fever. The new two cent stamp, issued for the exposition and showing the landing at Jamestown in 1607, are out and have been noticed on a number of letters arriving this week. The records of the Porter and Lake circuit courts show that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company paid an amount in excess of $30,000 to the relatives of the victims of the Woodville wreck, in which sixty-one lives were lost. It is understood that every claim will be settled without resort to the courts of the state. Manager Cleary, of the Shamrocks, has secured the strong Van Wert team to take the place of Decatur for next Sunday’s attraction at the league grounds. The Van Wert team is under the tutorage of Suttles, who was last year with Frankfort and is now considered a strong proposition and will force the Shamrocks to travel some to defeat them. Those who attend from this city will witness a good game and will get thir mony’s worth.

Bert Hire made a business trip to Ft. Wayne last night. A number of Decatur people attended the Grandstaff-Scheiferstein nuptials and report a fine time. Julius Haugk, the contractor who received the contract for paving Madison and Third streets, informed us today that he expected to commnce to haul brick on the site the first of next week and would push the work to completion as rapidly as possible. Julius is a hustler, and the people will get a good street. The local high school team that plays Portland here next Saturday will line up as follows: McKean, catcher; Buffenbarger, pitcher; Tudor, 1 base; Stevens, 2 base; York, 3 base; Dibble, ss; Smith, c. f.; Peterson, 1. f., and Case r. f. The line up is a strong one and the boys will no doubt be able to give a good account of themselves. Charles Francis Knowlton, a railroad promoter, who is not unknown to Jay county people, has been pulling off a promotion scheme in Carroll county and his victims are not pleased. He sold them stock in an interurban line which was to pass through the towns of Flora, Camden, Rockfield and Idaville. He got $25 for each SIOO share he sold. —Portland Commer-cial-Review. Mrs. Edith Hendrickson, while returning to her home in west part of the city last evening, after the show, had the misfortune to slip and fall on the Grand Rapids tracks, her head striking the heavy iron rail. She was assisted home by friends and this morning seems to be unable to move her head either way. The muscles in the back of her head being partially paralyzed. Her condition is nothing serious. Following is a new way to collect, but Decatur doctors would be too modest to try it. Sally, the hired giri, was sick abed. When the doctor was alone with the girl she said; “I am not sick at all, but Mrs. Jones owes me three months wages and I will stay in bed until she pays me.” “Will 'she pay?” asked the doctor. "Oh, sure she has come down with the cash before.” “Make room for me, said the doctor, she owes me just one hundred dollars.” Committees from the Elks lodge and from the Commercial club will hold a joint session this evening at which time the question of the lodge absorbing the Commercial club, which has resolved itself into a purely social organization, will be taken up and discussed. This proposition has been up for the past year or more and has several times been almost completed only to fall down. The idea advanced now is to combine the two organizations and later build a suitable Elks’ home here in the city.—Bluffton Banner. The Maude Henderson Co. will appear tonight in Lincoln J. Carter's powerful comedy success, “The Waifs of New’ York,” a drama of real life in the metropolis, dealing with the bootblacks to society. Lots of comedy surrounded with a good interesting plot, something that pleases the young as well as the old. The prices will be reduced to ten and twenty cents to all parts of the house. Get your seats reserved as usual. Thse prices are for tonight only. “A King's Rival" tomorrow night. Matinee Saturday. Not all “good Indians” are dead ones. John Godfrey, of Fort. Wayne, who came near being convicted of the murder of his father a year ago, went to Carlisle Indian school and has just been appointed instructor in a Minnesota Indian school. He has given up all his shiftless habits and is a hard student and quite an exemplary young man, a most remarkable thing when it is considered that he was reared practically in a saloon and his associates were frequenters of the slums of Fort Wayne. Young Godfrey is a descendant of Chief Godfrey.— Garrett Clipper. Vince Bell was in the city this forenoon from Craigville and from the Grimes foundry secured brasfs fittings for the engine at his sawmill to replace those stolen the first of January. The robbers, of whose identity he has never been able to find a clue, forced an entrance to the mill and all valves sets and in fact everything of value was stripped from his engine. The engine is of a type not being made now and it was necessary to have special casts made of the fittings. Mr. Bell thinks he will be able to have the mill running by the latter part of the week. —Bluffton Banner. Editor Fred Rohrer, temperance champion and editor of the Berne Witness, will be the principal speaker this evening at a meeting of the Local Women's Christian Temperance union, which will be held at the residence of Mrs. J. Welty, 730 Columbia avenue. The Rev. F. F. Sprunger.who has been active in temperance work for thirty-eight years, will also address the meeting and his son will sing. The Rev. J. W. Kliewer, editor of a church paper at Berne; Mr. R. A. Sommer and Mr. J. S. Lehman will also be on the grogram for speeches and addresses. Music will be given by the Lakeside quartette.—Ft. Wayne J ournal-Gazette.

W’ayne today. Maggie Dorlis, of Monroe, was shopping in our city today. Judge R. K. Erwin was attending to legal matters at Portland. Chris Yoder, of Berne, was a business caller to our city today. Dr. Wilson, of Berne, was a professional caller to our city today. M. W. France, of Portland, was a business caller to our city today.

Mrs. Alma Oliver returned to her home at Schum today after visiting friends in the city. Mrs. Graham returned to her home at Monroe today. While here she was the guest of Mrs. Sarah Blackburn. After threatening for two months spring seems today to be budding forth for the first time and Decatur merchants wear a pleasant smile. John Magley has purchased the Ernsberger property on the east side of north Fifth street and is moving to the city. He has taken a position with the Schafer Hardware company. Nearly all the resident property owners along Mercer street from the C. & E. railroad south are putting in cement sidewalks, and otherwise improving their property, which will add greatly to this already popular resident portion of the city. Charles Pennington, the butcher, is at present taking a much needed rest from the Dyonis Schmitt butcher shop, which was brought about by cutting the index finger on his right hand. The cut was a deep one and is causing Charles considerable pain. The council will meet in special session tomorrow evening at which time they will enter into contract with Julius Haugk who secured the contract for building Madison and Third streets. No other business w’ill be transacted. J. C. Curtis, of Bluffton, was a business caller to our city today. Ex-Sheriff George Stout and a party of friends left last night for the Panhandle district of Texas. Mr. Stout has alrady purchased a large tract of land and may locate there, and it is likely that the other members of the party may purchase.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel. Tom Railing is working every day and is getting in shape rapidly and will soon be in mid-season form. He is billed to pitch against the Van Wert team at Ft. Wayne Sunday and is confident of 'eating the Ohioites without much tiouble. A number of fans from this city expect to accompany Tom Sunday. The Wemhoff Monumental Works have on hand two pieces of granite direct from Scotland.which is the prettiest stone in this line ever imported. The stone is called Scotland Emerald, and is of a dark green hue, which is filled with small light spots. The two columns will be worked into monuments of the latest type. A number of the Decatur citizens who purchased lots at the recent sale are purchasing shade trees and are having them planted at the proper line in front of their property. This immediate turn for the improvement of newly acquired property shows a progressiveness that should be followed by all and which means just that much more value to their property. The Feast of the Ascension was duly celebrated at the Catholic church today, three services being conducted by Fathers Wilken and George, the first service being held at eight o’clock this morning, the second at ten o’clock and this afternoon Vespers were held. This day, which is known as Ascension Thursday in church circles, is always held as aholiday by the church members and the mammoth church was filled at all three services, which were very impressive. That Clarence Biersdorfer is making a great record as pitcher for the Dallas team in the Texas league is shown by reports received here through the Dallas News. The reports state that Clarence has pitched three games and lost but one, that one being a 12-inning game, which was lost by a score of 2 to 1. On last Saturday, however, he won his laurels when he was pitted against the San Antonio team, who had their best pitcher in the box, and Clarence led his team to victory by a score of Ito 0. The Dallas News is loud in its praise of Mr. Beiersdorfer's work in the game. This places Dallas on the top of the league and “Biety” writes to his friends here that they are confident of winning the pennant. —Berne News.
