The house that has been under construction for some time on west Monroe street, belonging to Dallas Hunsicker, is now qompletel. It is a very neat structure. Mrs. George Sehroll, daughter Velma and little son, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Willis Syphers, of Lima, 0., drove to Berne this morning where they will attend the funeral of Joseph Sehroll. A large force of men are still busy working on the remodeling of the Murray Hotel and a marked change can be noticed every day. This popular hostelry will soon be completed. Then we can boast of one of the nicest hotels in this section of the country. Our periodical rains are still continuing and it takes a man with a Henry Clay head to forecast the weather an hour hence. Let us hope that the weather man will let up a little on us at present and give us some of the reserve a little later, when conditions demand it. A large Plymouth Rock rooster made avicious assault upon Paul the eighteen-month-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Will Hoban, living just east of Marion, yesterday. While the child ‘Sustained several cuts from the sharp spurs of the rooster in the short time the assault was on, It will recover. However, it is the belief of the attending physician that the rooster would have killed the child only for the timely discovery by the family. Mrs. Sarah Barley, grandmother of the child, saw the vicious assault and hastened to the child’s assistance.

Jacob Butcher, of Geneva, was a business caller in our city today. The Decatur Shamrocks base ball team returned from Portland last night. Mrs. Charles Rinehart went to Ft. Wayne this afternoon to visit friends for some time. Peter Schafer, of Willshire, passed through the city today enroute to Ft. Wayne to visit friends. Miss Myrtle Beachler went to Anderson this morning to visit her former school mate, Mrs. Williams.

Smith, of north Third street, who has been suffering for some time with rheumatism, is reported as being some better today. If the weather men don’t look out, the first thing he knows, he’ll run out of a supply of water.’ He’s sending entirely too much rain to suit the public. More sunshine and less moisture is demanded now. A change of program will be appreciated. The gang of thirty-five skilled laborers that has been doing the difficult pipe laying at the Ohio Oil company's station, south of this city, left at noon today for Spencerville, Ohio, They were all Americans, most of them hailing from the oil regions of West Virginia. Mrs. Arthur Bartling and children of Ft. Wayne, who visited at Blaine with her busband’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Bartling, left on the morning train Wednesday for Decatur ta spend a few days with her mother, Mrs. M. E. Redding, before returning home. —Portland Review. Babcock & Ward, the real estate men. made a nice deal yesterday when they engineered the deal selling the farm owned jointly by Dr. D. D. Clark and John Baker to Mr. Bentz, who resides south of the city. The farm is located in Union township, and is composed of seventy-two acres, the consideration being forty-eight hundred dollars. An indignant Kendallville citizen who had frequently asked the city council to take care of the surplus water that collects on his premises every time it rains, got weary waiting and a few days ago procured a spade and dug a ditch right across the street and now the officers are proposing to “soak him” for it. The Standard Oil company which has been putting in a line near Preble will split their gang today, sending some of the men to Spencerville, where they will construct a line. Something like two hundred men have been located near Preble for the past two or three weeks and half of the force will be kept there to finish up the work. Although Friday of this week is Flag Day, no formal arrangements for its observance in Decatur have been made. It is taken for granted, however that there will be general display of the national colors from business houses and residences all over the city, in commemoration of the day when the stars and stripes was adopted as the national emblem. “’rhe' Ft. Wayne lodge of Elks last evening decided to have,an open air social session at Centilivre park on the afternoon of Sunday, August 4, and there will be features of a character never before attempted on a similar occasion. The usual social session features will be followed, but there will be more good things on the program than ever before, according to Dr. L. A. Worch, the chairman— Journal-Gazette. The heavy rains that have prevailed all through the months of May and June thus far have practically ruined spring fishing in northern Indiana, and the devotees of the rod and reel are in mourning. River fishing is at an end and even in the lakes the water is high and roily, making fishing out of the question. The early season was spoiled and now the fish are spawning, so there will probably be no good fishing even should the rains cease before the end of July or the beginning of August. The Van Wert Base Ball Association has set about to fence the new athletic park, on south Washington street, and erect a new grand stand in time for use in games to bep layed next Tuesday and Wednesday. In order to meet the desired end the association has employed all the carpenters available, but the work is being retarded by the unfavorable weather conditions. In a supreme effort toward completion of the fence a number of volunteer workmen will be engaged tomorrow. It is the desire of the men behind the movement that any and all who are willing to lend a hand in the work present themselves tomorrow, hatchet in hand—Van Wert Bulletin.

Recovery, who has been visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Forbing, for a few days, returned to her home this afternoon. Talk about the rainy season on the Oregon coast, it doesn’t compare with the present seige in Indiana, which has almost equaled the Biblical one of “forty days and forty nights.” Owing to the base ball game at Ft. Wayne Sunday, the interurban people have agreed to put on the every hour and a half schedule and those desiring to attend may thus have the advantage of leaving here at ten-thirty twelve or one-thirty and be in time for the game. A large crowd should accompany the team and assist them in winning by consistent rooting. Charles^--Jones, a man whose true name to the police is unknown, was arrested last evening by Sheriff Meyer on a charge of public intoxication and was lodged in jail until this morning, when he was arraigned before Squire- Smith, where he plead guilty and was assessed a fine of a dollar and costs amounting to nine dollars and eighty cents, which he paid and was released. Word received from Ft. Wayne announces the fact that J. B. Miller, who was stricken with the smallpox last Saturday, is some better, and that his condition was considered nothing serious, alnhough he was quite sick. He is not confined to his bed and contents himself with sitting at the window and looking at the surrounding neighborhood. He has been strictly quarantined to the outside world. The reason of Ernest Kirkpatrick, age 29, son of John Kirkpatrick, of Eaton, for taking his own life, was something new among the many absurd inducements to commit self-murder. The suicide was committed at Detroit, where young Kirkpatrick was employed as boxmaker. Kirkpatrick left a note expressing his love for Mrs. David Walters, lately murdered by her husband on account of Kirkpatrick's attentions to her. He admitted his love for the dead woman and declared he was going to the other world in the hope that he might meet her there. The city and town health officers have received blanks for free distribution of diptheria antitoxin to such persons as are not able to purchase the same. The distribution is also to be made to various township trustees of tlhe country. On each blank the law is printed and the directions for procuring the remedy. The distribution is made in accordance with a law introduced by Representative Simison and passed at the last general assembly and is regarded by health officers throughout the state as one of the important measures adopted by the last legislature.

Owing to the slump in the Toledo and Chicago markets, the local merchants are now quoting wheat at eigh-ty-five cents, which is certainly quite a tumble over a few days ago. From all appearances wheat is decidedly on the decline and dollar wheat now seems a thing of the past. The dredge work on the lob ditch commenced again last Thursday evening after some delay because of a broken dipper. A new dipper was received and put to working. The dipper used holds a yard and a quarter, weighs a ton and a half and cost $525. A new dipper handle was also purchased.—Geneva Herald. J. S. Bowers came here Monday morning from Decatur and he and Chris Moser went over to New Corydon to work at repairing the stone crusher. Mr. Moser has purchased an interest in the crusher, and they have a big demand for the stone. They have enough orders now ahead to keep them running for three years.— Geneva Herald. Mr. Aexander, the representative of the Packard music house is snugly quartered in the Gregory building with the city officials and has on hand a nice consignment of instruments. He has secured the services of Miss Kittle Smith to do the demonstrating as to t|he tone of the machine, she assuming her new duties this morning. The public is cordially invited to step in* and inspect any of their musical instruments. Nick Miller, the barber, was forced to do a stunt of loafing today and for the first time in a number of years was forced to stay away from his shop. This being brought about on account of the floor in the Murray hotel being taken out and a new one put in. Nick paced the streets all day, and was so nervous he did not know what to do with himself. He will be ready to operate upon his customers by Friday. Ambrose Grafton and family, who have been a matter of much care and worry to Trustee W. H. Davis, moved to Ft. Wayne Saturday and Trustee Davis is living in comparative happiness once more. Grafton was opposed to letting the officials send his children to the orphans’ home and the fear that it was their intention to do so is said to have been the cause of his moving to Ft. Wayne.—Bluffton News. A letter jjas just been received from the office of Governor J. Frank Hanly calling the attention of the county clerks of the state to an agreement between the United States and Italy reached May 17, 1878, whereby Italian deaths in the United States are to be reported to representatives of the Italian government. In the notice sent out from the governor’s office it is stated that the Italian consul Pasquale Corter, of Denver, Col., is the proper party to notify in case of the death of an Italian in Indiana, in case there are no known heirs. On account of the large number of chicken hawks that have caused considerable trouble throughout the state this season, Deputy State Game Commissioner Earle advocates the levying of a state bounty of fifty cents for each hawk killed. He will see that the next legislature is asked to pass such legislation in favor of the farmer. The present game laws do not protect hawks, but fails to levy a bounty upon their heads, so that their extermination may be promoted. Aside from the damage done by hawks in the chicken yard, they make telling war upon quail which has greatly reduced the number of these valuable birds the past five years. This is what a rural editor says about young idlers: "We are raising too many society fops, parlor soldiers and cigarette suckers and street loafers. When we see a little foppish short dress silly girl just* jumping in her teens gadding up and down the streets, talking slang and flirting with the boys, entertaining young jobless bloods in the parlor in the night time when she ought to be in her trundle bed, tucked snugly in by her mother; when we see knee pant kids and beardless youths loafing up and down the streets who are too trifling to do odd jobs around home we exclaim it’s not statutory law that we need, but it’s parental law.”
