The interurban waiting room is arranged now so as to accommodate all the patrons of the road. New seats are placed in the rom and .enough to accomodate all the patrons. The rainy weather brought quite a number of farmers to town today, as nothing could be done on the farm, and the merchants did a better business than the weather would suggest. W. Henry Meiland, H. Fred Scheiman, W’m. Almond, William Scheiman, Charles Scheiman and Henry Schroeder, stockholders of the interurban, were in the city today holding a conference with W. H. Fledderjohann. These gentlemen reside north of this city.A number of the directors of the local interurban line arrived at all hours yesterday to take part in the director’s meeting to be held today, at which time the route south is to be determined. A large number will arrival today and'a full representation of this august body is expected to attend the business session. A banquet will be served at noon at the Meiber's hall. W. Deininger received a letter from his son Jack yesterday from Boulder, Colorado, stating that he had arrived at his destination all right and without any accidents while enroute. He at once picked up a position in the Electrical Works at Boulder and likes his new work and place exceedingly well. Jack left several weeks ago with the determination of making the West his future home. The interurban railway did an enormous business in the passenger traffic way Decoration day and every coming and going car was well laden. A number of Decatur people were at Ft. Wayne, where they attended the Decoration day services, while a number of Ft. Wayne people came to our city and enjoyed the day. Pain’s spectaculai’ production of the Fall of Port Arthur drew a number of people last evening. One night last week, after curfew had sounded. Marshal Green saw a little boy on the street and told him he must go home or be put in jail. “All right, I’D go to jail.” “But why don’t you go home?” asked the officer. “I don’t want to,” the kid replied; “dad’s at oldge,> ma’s gone to euchre party, brother's out walking with his girl and sis is running the phonograph. They left me and the dog at home. I’ll go to jail.” Harvey Daisy, of Warsaw, has some money in his possession, though for the time being it will be out of circulation. He carelessly placed a half dollar in his mouth the other day, and while scuffling with some friends was compelled to gulp down the coin. He suffered intensely for a time and physicians were called. Should further trouble ensue it is probable the coin will have to be removed from Daisy’s stomach by means of a surgical operation. A. B. Smith and Brother, the plumbers, on yesterday received probably the largest shipment of plumbers’ supplies that was ever shipped to this city. The shipment including nearly two cars of lavatories, bath tubs and general supplies, which are to be used in completing and fulfilling their many contracts that they have on hand- This firm is doing a nice business in the plumbing line and from what we are able to learn, are filling the bill in every respect. Owing to the weather man pulling the wrong lever this morning and thus furnishing rain instead of sunshine, Manager Behringer sent the Corner Rod and Gun club home on the morning car, the game for this afternoon being declared off. The teams played yesterday, when they should have been hugging stoves, and Manager Behringer concluded to take no chances today of having some of his men receive injuries that might result in keeping them out of the game for several weeks.

Mrs. Elizabeth Conner, of Huntington, passed through the city today enroute to Winchester, *where she will visit her son and family. A new cement sidewalk is being put in at the Will Colchin residence in the south part of town, which will add much to the appearance of the newly built house. Dee Jackson and wife have returned to Chicago after spending six weeks with the former's father, Will Jackson and family. They will reside in the Windy City. Fixtures for the equipment of the new wash room that is to be installed in the Murray hotel arrived yesterday, and “Bennie” Smith and his force of plumbers are busily engaged installing the same. A number of the directors of the Ft. Wayne and Springfield railway arrived early this morning from Ohio, to take part in the meeting today. The party was headed by J. H. Koenig and Mr. Fishbaugh, of St. Marys, Ohio. Jim Davis, of Portland, was the most tickled man in our city this morning when he learned the news that his ball team defeated Bluffton, and now declares that there is nothing to the series between Decatur and Portland but Portland. Ossian's premier pitcher has joined' hands with the Decatur club and will offer his choice assortment of balls that are hard to hit to all the teams that may oppose him. He left here Monday and will doubtless pick all the early games that come his way.—Ossian News. The railroad yards around the G. R. & I. depot have been filled up and leveled nicely by their workmen. Grass seed has been sown all around and no doubt, before long the lawn will present a neat appearance. This work has been done so as to have the yards in good shape should they decide to have a park there. A party of Decaturites will leave Tuesday evening for Oklahoma, where they will look over the country and visit for a short time with friends. The party will go by the way of the Clover Leaf to St. Louis, and from thence they will take the Frisco line. The boys are contemplating a good trip, and will no doubt have a good time. Judge Erwin, of the Adams county court, can now be counted as a simon pure Bluffton baseball fan. The judge was here yesterday for the purpose of making a Memorial day address but before he left for his home, he presented Bert Moore with a handsome leather money grip to be used in looking out for the gate receipts. When the judge is in town again and a ball game is in progress, he is entitled to a front seat in the grandstand. — Bluffton Banner. Evry other year for the last six years, J. F. Dickman, station agent on the Clover Leaf route at Peters, 111., has taken a vacation and each time has been seriously injured. Dickman says that he intends to skip one year or take two vacations in succession to see if he can ward off the hoodoo, and, failing in that, will taboo vacations altogether. During his last vacation Dickman fell from a barn roof. Two years ago he was riding on a railroad bicycle and fell off a trestle and four years ago he was struck by a train. —Frankfort Crescent. The school children all reported at their respective 'school rooms yesterday afternoon and were handed their credit cards, which designated whether they were advanced into the next room and grade. Some of the children were disappointed in the results as shown by their cards, while the majority were happy and contented. With this feature the public schools closed for a vacation of three months, when the children will again assume their duties. The school year just past was a successful one and next year the officials expect to make it more interesting. The horse sale yesterday was attended by one of the largest crowds of the season, and the bidding for the animals was the most spirited of any sale. One hundred and seventy-five head were offered for sale and they went like hot cakes as the class of horses offered was the best and this alone spoke for itself. A large number of foreign horsemen were present and purchased horses that will be shipped to eastern markets. Fred Reppert cried the sale and did it in his usual pleasing manner, and it was through his efforts that tne horses were sold at the high dollar. The weather bureau tonight announced that all records were broken by the low mean temperature during the last two months, and made this forecast: Temperatures will continue comparatively low Saturday and Sunday over the eastern portion of the country and will change only little in the extreme west. Over the central portions it will be warmer by Sunday. The entire section east of the Mississippi may expect cooler weather, with rain tomorrow and Sunday. With the present conditions the weather will turn warmer by Monday and after that we will have real summer temperature. —J ournal-G azette.
