The outside of the building is to receive a coat of white paint and the same will certainly be quite noticeable. While evidence in a “blind tiger" liquor case was being heard in the circuit court at Lagrange, William Appleman appeared in court as a spectator in an inebriate condition.

The small boys who are continually jumping on freight trains on the different railroads in the city, are hereby advised to discontinue the same as the railroad officials are watching this very closely and will prosecute any one they catch riding freight trains, besides a big chance is taken of having a leg or arm taken off. The Wemhoff Monumental works is without doubt the busiest place in the city at present. A force of men are employed from morning until night in getting their orders shaped for delivery and the harder they work the farther they seem to get behind. They are present working upon some special contract jobs for local contractors. Rev. Fow’ler, pastor at the Presbyterian church presents to the public a sure cure for dandelions that ho says cannot be excelled. Take a sharp knife, cut the plant off close to the ground and put just a few drops of coal oil on the same and the flower will quit breathing. Rev. Fowler vouches for this cure, as he has tried it and the Presbyterian lawn surrounding the church certainly shows the result of his work. A letter received from Clarence Biersdorfer this morning, who is located at Dallas, Texas, playing in the Texas league, says he is getting along fine and is making a successful debut. He has won the majority of his games and ranks foremost among his team mates. He subscribed for the Daily Democrat and will keep in touch with Adams county doings by reading the same. He wishes the Decatur ball fans a successful season. All doubts about Frankfort having a semi-professional baseball team in the field again this year were removed by the work of the committee on the last day when the total amount of money subscribed for the support of the team made it certain that Frankfort will again be a contender for the championship of the state in the semi-professional ranks. The lovers of the game came forward like true fans and the work of getting the team together will begin at once. —Frankfort Crescent. The Hon. W. P. Breen, Dr. E. J. MeOscar, Dr. H. O.

His place at the Peoples’ restaurant was filled by young Archer. L. E. Watson, the real estate man, expects to leave next Tuesday for North Dakota, with a crowd of Adams countyites, who will spend several weeks in the northwest looking the land over with a view of an investment. Watson is a hustler and if you are contemplating a trip into that section you would do well to see him. A letter was received from Tom Railing yesterday afternoon stating that he liked Tecumseh very much and expected to stay there all season. He has not pitched a game there yet, but it scheduld for one in a few days, and then he will have a chance to demontrate his ability to the Tecumseh fans. Mrs. Railing will leave the first of next week to join Tom. Here's success for Tom. There will be no horse sale next Friday owing to the fact that the management have concluded to postpone the same for two weeks from today. The scouts are out after good horseflesh and when the hammer falls again the animal sold will be the best. The sales are one of the best things for Decatur that ever occurred and the business men and every loyal citizen should encourage the management of this concern in every way imaginable. 0 We desire in this manner to thank our many kind friends and neighbors for their assistance during the illness and demise of our beloved babe and especially do we desire to thank the school children, neighbors and Ben Hur lodge for the beautiful floral )f---ferings.
