Wayne, who has been at the bedside of his mother Mrs. James ’Wagner, of Monroe, whois quite ill, returned to Ft. Wayne this morning to resume his duties as brakeman on the G. R. & I.

Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Al. Everhart returned to the city today to visit their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Malotte. Andrew W. Stalter who has been very seriously ill at Stanley, North Dakota, is improving and is believed out of danger. His father reports that North Dakota is still covered with snow. Nolan King and Red Burrell left last evening for Pittsburg, where they have secured lucrative positions in one of the big sale stables. Both of the boys are experienced horsemen and will without doubt fill their positions with much credit to themselves. Julius Haugk’s stone quarry is now running in full blast and that place is one of the busiest in our city. He has a large force of men at work and is turning out crushed stone at a frightful rate, which will be used upon macadam roads and also in the foundation for the Madison and Third street improvements. The jury in the case of Mrs. Lizzie Levering against the Clover Leaf, suit for $5,000 for personal injuries, which was tried Thursday at Kokomo, returned a verdict awarding the plaintiff $450 for personal injuries and SSO for her buggy, which was demolished when it was struck by a train at a street crossing at Kokomo. The interurban line was forced to put on the every hour and a half schedule today on account of the G. A. R. encampment that is being held at Ft. Wayne this week. The line did a thriving business today and every car that left the city brought in and carried out a large crowd of people. In the way of passenger traffic, however, the old soldiers excelled. Everything is quiet in police Circles and the local authorities are getting lazy waiting for something to turn up. Decatur seems at present to be on her good behavior and if it keeps up she will soon make a record for herself. However, as long as the officers are not busy it shows that the disturbers have obtained some kind of employment to keep them out of trouble. Here is the latest —a farmer has made the discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows the onions being so strong, brings tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such volumes that the roots of the vines are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of the drouth. Elwood Slusser has moved his household goods back to Decatur and says that in the future he expects to make this his future home. He has given up the detective business and has settled down to good honest hard labor. The detective business was too dangerous for Elwood and as it kept him away from home so much he concluded to give it up. Hence he returned to this city, where he formerly resided. Mrs. Mabie Franks, widow of Curtis Franks, the young carpenter killed by a fall last week, today received a deed for a lot on south Morgan street, in the Oak Park addition. Her husband had purchased a lot and paid only four dollars for it, but one of the clauses in the contract is that if the purchaser dies his wife or family shall receive a deed for the lot without further payments, therefore Mrs. Franks received a warranty deed for her lot. —Bluffton News. A nice string of horses are stabled at present at the Boch & Rice sale stables on First street, awaiting the day of sale, which will be held May 31st. The string contains some of the prettiest horse flesh that has been seen in Decatur in years, and which will prove ready sellers on the day the sale opens. The managers of this concern expect to have a large string by the time of the sale and any one wanting to purchase a good horse will have the opportunity. Professor O. E. Hagler has accepted the position of superintendent ol the Ossian schools and will take charge there at the opening of the next term. Mr. Hagler fills the position made vacant by the resignation of Professor Huber, who served in that capacity for several years. For the past four years. Mr. Hagler has been superintendent of the Keystone schools, a position he has filled with credit to himself. For a year previous to that time he did high school work and is an educator of recogniz- ’ cd merit. —Bluffton Banner. The Decatur schools in four days will close for a vacation of three months, and the children who have for the past nine months devoted their time to constant study and work will be given a much needed rest. The past term has been a most successful one in more respects than one and those connected with the same are entitled to much credit. Professor Beachler has again been employed and will lead our schools for another year, which he will endeavor to make even more successful than the past term.

Miss Kendall Franke also returned yesterday from a visit at Glendale college and in Cincinnati. —Bluffton News. Agent Dull, of the Clover Leaf, was informed by F. D. Weidenheimer, inspector of transportation that Decatur will have a new depot before fall. The old depot will be moved from its present position and used for a freight house. Because, they assert, the hotel accommodations in Fort W’ayne are insufficient, the managers of the Glidden auto tour have decided not to include Fort Wayne on the route of the motorists in their run from Chicago to New York, in July. Attorney-General Bingham has begun a crusade against Justices of the Peace to compel them to pay to the state all of its portion of fines charged and collected. He finds that the state has failed to receive thousands of dollars belonging to it. Nearly all of the Justices are showing a disposition to settle without making trouble. Several resident property owners along north Second street appeared before the council last evening and were ready to object if the proposition for hauling coal by the interurban people was taken up. The committee in whose hand the proposition lays are not ready to make a report, and when they are the property owners will be given an opportunity to be heard on the question. The members of the Santiago company were royally entertained last evening at the conclusion of the performance at the Opera House, and were invited to the Knights of Columbus Hall where refreshments were served, after which a little informal dance was held. The Columbian club felt indebted to those who took part and did this to show their appreciation of their services. Manager Fledderjohann and a party of interurban people left this morning for Celina, 0., where they expect to do some surveying for the possible extension of the interurban line south. He was accompanied on this trip by the company's surveyor, A. W. Fishbaugh, and what conclusion they will reach in regard to a route will be announced later. At present Mr. Fledderjohann would say nothing.

WILL RETURN TO THE STAGE Tom Johnson’s Daughter Refused to be Bossed. Cleveland, May 22. —Incompatibility of temperament and the bride's determination to return to the stage, are assigned as the causes for the separation of Signor Frederico Mariani and his wife, formerly Miss Bessie Johnson, daughter of Mayor Tom L. Johnson. Intimates of the Johnsons say that trouble began on the honeymoon; that Mariani, with the disposition to domineer that generally characterized foreigners who win American brides, was determined, almost from the very start, to have absolute control over his wife. His word he wanted to be law. Mrs. Mariani had been trained to independence, a trait also inherited from her father, and she would not submit to a master. Various petty frictions, it is said grew into trouble of some magnitude, the climax coming, it is asserted, when Mrs. Mariani declared that she intended to return to the stage when she had completed the play upon which she has been working for six months, and upon which her husband collaborated before the marriage. Mariani laughed and positively forbade her to even contemplate such a move. The separation followed. Mr. Johnson is said to have opposed the match, ind to have given his consent only in answ’er to his daughter’s pleading. It was announced today tnat Mrs. Mariani would positively resume study and work upon her play and return to the stage, positively appearing in her own play next season. o THE STEAM AND INTERURBAN Attorneys Differ as to Attorney-Gen-eral’s Recent Decision. Now that suit has begun in the federal court to test the constitutionality of the two-cent railroad fare law the fine analytical mind of Attorney General Bingham has veered to the conclusion that the law is class legislation and will not stand. He says: “Time and time again the general assembly has distinguished between the interurban and steam railroads. The law of 1903 specifically authorizes one kind to change to another, and provides against any one road acting both as a steam and interurban road.” If Attorney General Bingham is wrong in his opinion, as the author of the law says he is, and the law applies to both interurban and steam roads then it will be incumbent upon the interurbans to reduce many of their short haul charges. Attorneys for some of the interurban companies have already notified their companies that in their opinion the law applies to interurbans and the charges for short hauls in some instances have been reduced. Other companies are awaiting a decision from the courts. Most of the interurbans charge more than 2 cents a mile for short distances. Fares between stations a mile or two apart have been 5 cents. If the law applies to interurbans these fares must be reduced. C. S. Niblick went to Berne this afternoon to look after business affairs. Mr. Phipps went to Ft. Wayne this morning to attend the G.. A. R. encampment. Wash Burrell has resumed his duties on the baggage transfer line after an absence of several days. B. Van Buskirk returned to his home at Hoagland this afternoon from a business trip to the city. Mrs. S. Youtz, of Columbia City, arrived in the city this afternoon to visit Mr. Whitcomb and family. Mrs. John C. Augsburger, of Berne, arrived this afternoon to visit Mr. W. E. Fulk and family for some time. D. W. Crawford, of Hoagland, was in the city today on business and returned to his home this afternoon. Miss Anna Carlisle, of Cincinnati, arrived in the city this afternoon to make a visit with her sister, Mrs. George Flanders. Miss Code Finkle, of Warren, passed through the city today enroute to Portland, where she will visit Miss Nevo Bergman for several days. Nearly all the cement sidewalks on First street have been completed and in a short time that street will be one of the most pleasant resident portions in our city. The new sidewalks add materially to the appearance of the street and also adds to the looks of the property and it now makes a most desirable place to reside. A. Van Camp who recently purchased the Brame property on First street is remodeling the house and it will soon be one of the nicest arranged houses in the city. The house is being raised and a new foundation is being placed under the same and the inside is undergoing a general overhauling. Ad soon as it is completed Mr. Van Camp expects to rent the same.
