Wayne and Springfield traction company, spent a short time in Portland Wednesday morning enroute to Decatur where he will begin the survey of the traction line from Decatur Io Celina. —Portland Review. The people of Huntington are trying to work up enough enthusiasm to make the eagle scream on the Fourth of July. They have a committee out at the present time seeking to raise funds enough to buy fireworks and make up prizes for old time Fourth of July games.—Bluffton Banner A. C. Pevertt, arrested at Garrett on a charge of safe-blowing, and who proved to be an escaped convict from the Michigan state prison at lonia,was taken back to that institution in a straight-jacket Monday. He is a desperate character, and gave the officers a fight the greater part of the trip. Pevertt has yet to serve twelve years of a fifteen-year sentence for burglary. A case was filed yesterday morning in Squire Stone’s court against William Fronefield charging him with assault and battery on the person of George Zimmerman, the assault having occurred some time ago. The case is set for hearing for Friday evening and Mr. Fronefield says that he will fight them to a finish before he submits to a fine. The case will prove interesing. The members of the ball team were forced to stay indoors yesterday owing to the heavy rain. The boys will, however, work out today if the weather man will permit. The park is in good shape and this rain will make it just right to put the roller on it today. The part of fixing the park has been assigned to Frank Peterson, who has had considerable experience in this line. Mrs. Anna Dougherty, an aged woman at Wabash, was found dead in bed at her home Monday, several hours after her death had intervended. She lived with a son who is a helpless paralytic and the discovery was made by a neighbor, Mrs. Margaret Ivory,whom the aged woman had asked to call often to see that everything was all right about, the home. Evidently the aged woman feared she would die suddenly and the son be left without attention. Henry Lichtenstager, who cares for the Belgium stallions for Frisinger & Company, at Steeles park, had the misfortune last evening to have tjie thumb on his left hand mashed, the result of one of the big horses striking him with its hoof, while he was caring for the animal. The thumb was mashed in bad shape and Mr. Lichtenstager was forcer to come to town and get the assistance of a doctor in mending the same. “There will be a short hay crop for Adams county even under favorable conditions from now on thrdugh the season,” remarked a farmer. “The bluegrass pastures are heading out at six and eight inches,bluegrass ought to be twelve inches. Clover, is entirely out of the question. And anyway, all I can learn the hay acreage is less this year than last. IU is late for corn planting, but not too late. There is plenty of time yet for a good crop of corn.” The prperty owners who have been figuring to have the stone that now remains on Madison street left there when the same is improved will be doomed to dissappointment as Contractor Haugk expects to remove the same and construct the street according to the plans and specifications. Should he remove the stone, clean them and place them back on the street, according to his contract, he would receive nothing and would be loser the amount of time thus consumed and Julius says he does not care to work for nothing. , One of the most beautiful national customs is that of annually setting apart a day upon which to honor our soldier dead. Taken colelctively, the human race responds generously to the sentiment regarding this service, and individually, there seems to be an inborn instinct which compels human beings to keep the departed In loving remembrance. This has been so from the remotest days of antiquity. Even barbarians and savages, while differing widely in their metoods. have, like civilized nations, shown the same revedence for the dead. —Our Country for May.

Two foreigners with bagpipes were on our streets today playing their Oriental pieces and incidentally picking up a few stray nickles and dimes that came their way.

E. Smith, is in a serious condition suffering from a cancerous growth. A consultation of doctors will be held this afternoon and it is possible that she will be taken to Ft. Wayne and an operation performed. She is staying with her son on west Adams street. The local base ball fans are watching the New York and Chicago series that are now under way at New York and which may virtually decide which team may win the pennant. Each team has so far won one game each and have two more to play. The favorite in this series in this city seems to be New York. A number of Decatur people went to Ft. Wayne today to attend the G. A. R. encampment and also to take in the show tonight. Every car leaving the city was well loaded and Ft. Wayne was no doubt packed to its limit today. The crowds are being handled in excellent style and no trouble has as yet been experienced. Guy Johnson a few days ago received a big black bear from Pittsburg and the same is now located at the Johnson farm south of the city. The bear is a pretty specimen and is as tame as can be and makes a very niee plaything. Mr. Johnson is proud of the animal and invites any one to come out and look the animal over.

The wheat market fell off several cents today and May and July are again quoted under the dollar mark, September being the only wheat that is quoted over the dollar mark. The price according to the theory of local merchants cannot long stay below a dollar and will soon be soaring again. School children can be seen every day now lugging home a heavy load of school books, which they do not need any more this season. The school work is practically over, and next week will be devoted to merely passing examinations and getting ready for the closing day of school. Editor Hoffer, of the Willshire Herald, and several other of his townsmen passed through our city today enroute to Ft. Wayne to attend the G. A. R. encampment. Hoffer says he is still a base ball crank and will root for Decatur any old time against Bluffton. Hoffer has the right spirit and we admire him for it. While fishing in a boat on the St. Marys river yesterday Ramon Barthell tried to do the George Washington stunt of crossing the Delaware and fell from the boat into the water. The water at the place he fell in was very deep and Roman was forced to swim to the bank. The ducking he received was a dandy although he did for a second make a great effort to imitate George Washington.
