The situation is not only pathetic, btu it a stumbling block and a serious handicap to the efforts that are being made to locate industries and to expand thecommercial and other interests of our city. At this time not a single vacant house can be found, and at least twenty-five could be rented quicker than you could say “scat." There is also nearly as great a demand for rooming and boarding places. The Decatur Furnace company is suffering not only inconveniences, but a business loss, in not being able to find places for their men to live. They still want to increase their number of employees, but the draught of houses makes such a thought almost impossible. In addition, the factory committee have under favorable consideration three propositions for the location of that many factories. If .ocated, eacn one of the three would employ from the

Friday the 13th / - \ / ■ i \ - I f''' i ' *■ ' 2 jkx? a By THOMAS W. LAWSON Author of “Frenzied Finance” A Story of Passionate Love and Money Madness The hero is a daring young broker who retrieves the fortunes of the family of the woman he loves, a beautiful daughter of the south (they have been victims of “The System.") with the greatest “coup" in the history of “The Street" The fever of money madness and the curse of speculation run throughout the story. This terrific conflict between character and money, and the shifting and glittering background of frenzied finance, makes a novel which would be absorbing to every man and woman were it by an unknown author. Being by Mr. Lawson, it will undoubtedly be the most discussed story of our generation. YOU MUST NOT FAIL TO READ IT. It Will Begin in This Paper in the Near Future This interesting storv will commence in Saturday’s issue

' start fifty people and in a year from I that time that number would be doubled. It does not take an expert in ■ high finance to figure out the duty >of our people at this time. It is not ' only a duty but the owning of rented houses is now profitable. There is not I a business investment that will yield i better returns to the investor. Men i with means should put their surplus jto working along this line and not only make money for themselves, but at the same time remove a stagnation ! that will greatly hinder the movement * for a great Decatur. As a matter of advertisement for the German Building, Loan Fund and Savings Association, we want to remind those who own a lot and who do not have the price for building a house, that they can borrow the money for this building and the rent will pay the loan. This is an oppor- ! tunity to some time own a home. This association has been the means of helping many people to a home, and what it has done in the past, it can and will do again. If there is any private homes that will take one, two or more boarders just telephone that fact to this office. In this way the present stringency can be overcome. In the meantime, however, let’s begin an active campaign for more houses. “THE MAN TO TIE TO.” A distinguished American statesman, addressing himself to the people of a territory eager for admission into the Union, gave utterance to this sentiment and advice: “The person you want to have as a neighbor is the man on whom you

can count; the man who is game in time of trouble; the man who does not seek trouble, the man who does not brag and brawl, but who ’makes good;’ the man who is decent and square in his dealings with others. That is just the type you have got to have in public life.” This is clever and incisive. Here is the great central west we are accustomed to call individuals whom the above characterization fits “a man who will do to tie to.” The man who stands fast —who is always in the same place, looking the same way —is indeed the safe man for public or private trust, because he "will do to tie to.” And that kind of man is not only safe for others. He is safe for himself. He need never fear the frowns of fortune. WEAK, WEARY WOMEN. Learn the Cause of Daily Woes and End Them. When the back aches and throbs. When housework is torture. When night brings no rest nor sleep When urinary disorders set in, Women's lot is a weary one. There is away to escape these woes. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure such ills. Mrs. Thomas Barkley, of 1704 Fairfield avenue. Fort Wayne, Ind., says: “I never was confined to my bed with kidney complaint, yet I have been so bad with the trouble that I did not know what to do with myself. There was a dull, aching across my back which extended clear up to my shoulders. The never ending backache was a terrible annoyance and whether I lay down or not, it was always there. In the morning when I arose I felt lame and sore and I often used to wonder if I always had to endure this pain. I thought it was rheumatism, as one doctor told me so, but I saw Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended and got a box. To make a long story short, they cured me and I have never felt better in my life. Within a day after beginning Doan's Kidney Pills, it was the first time I had been without pain for months and you can easily see why I am so grateful. I certainlyrecommend Doan's Kidney Pills.” Plenty more proof like this from Decatur, Ind., people. Call at Holthouse Drug Co.’s store and ask what customers report. For sale by all dealers.

All She Had. In the absence of his wife and the illness of the servant Mr. Taylor undertook to help three-year-old Marjory to dress. He had succeeded In getting her arms in the sleeves and through the armholes of her garments and had buttoned her into them. Then he told her to put on her shoes herself, and he would button them. He soon discovered that she was vainly striving to put a left shoe on her right foot “Why, Marjory,” he said impatiently, “don't you know any better than that? You are putting your shoes on the wrong feet” “Dey’s all de foots I dot papa,” replied Marjory tearfully.—Youth’s Companion. Climbing a Water Stair. Even a steamboat can climb a hill by going up one step at a time. This remarkable performance can be witnessed several times daily during the season of navigation beside the Vrang waterfall in the Bandak Norsje canal, Norway. At this point falls in the river prevent the passage of boats up or down, and a canal has been built round the rapids and falls. The ascent is made through a series of locks which accommodate one boat at a time, and in passing from the lower to the upper lock the boat is lifted about ninety feet St George and the Dragon. Other nations besides England have fought under the banner of St George, and other knightly orders as well as that of the Garter have been instituted in his honor. He was the guardian salat of Sicily, Aragon, Valencia. Genoa. Malto and Barcelona; a Venetian order of St George was created in 1200, a Spanish in 1317, an Austrian tn 1470. a Genoese in 1472 and a Roman in 1492. More modern orders bearing his name are those of Bavaria (1729), Russia (17(57) and Hanover (1839). The device of St George slaying the dragon forms part of the arms of the czar and appears on several Russian coins. The conjecture that this was owing to the presentation of the Garter by Elizabeth to Ivan Vassilievitch has no foundation in fact, for Chnnceler, the first outspoken Englishman to visit Russia, speaks of a dispatch sent in 1554 from Ivan Vassilievitch to Queen Mary, the seal of which “was much like the broad eea! of England, having on the one side the image of a man on horseback in complete harness fighting with a dragon.”—London Chronicle. Disappointed Hopes. “You can’t rake up anything against that candidate.” “Well, I happen to know he is in love with a married woman.” “Do you? Ob. who is she?” “His wife.”—Baltimore American.

TABLES TURNED Locals Defeated Quakers in Second Game BY SCORE OF FIVE TO ONE Four Hits in the First Inning Brought Three Runs Safely Home, More Than Enough to Win. "Tacks" Fisher, of interstate league fame, met with a warm reception yesterday at the hands of the locals when he essayed to pitch the Quakers to victory and show the natives howgames are won in the interstate league, but his aspirations were quickly blasted for in the first inning the locals made enough hits and runs to win any ordinary game of base ball, and just to make things a little more secure added several more to their cerdit in the fourth and it was then all over but the yelling. However, do not be misled and think that the Richmond bunch laid down, for in this you are mistaken, as they fought like demons until the last man had been retired in the ninth and then had a little of the fighting spirit left. The game opened at promptly three-thirty o'clock, before a fair sized crowd, with Richmond at bat and they were retired in one, two. three order. The locals at once proceeded to get busy and hits by Nash, Behringer, Burns Weber and Pierce resulted in three runs and the game was practically won in this inning. The locals came back strong in the fourth and secured two more runs on hits by Weber, Pierce and Witham, and an error by Cameron, Richmond's first baseman. This ended the run getting for the locals, although they had men pn bases in every inning, but they could not reach the counting territory. The visitors scored their lone run when Fisher led off a two base hit. went to third on a single by Ritter, and while a double play was being pulled off Fisher scored. This run might have been stopped had the infield laid in close, but at that stage of the game one run practically did no material damage, and two outs were better than one. The Richmond bunch looked dangerous in the eighth, but by nice clean playing Geyer pulled out of a hole and escaped without a run being made. Jessup was the first man up and went out, Mentzelr folowed suit, but Cunningham and Miller singled in succession and Wildermont walked filling the bases. Fisher however, proved to be easy picking and after taking three heavy swings was declared out on strikes. The visitors are a scrappy bunch of ball players who play the game at all times and are out to win and will cause any team considerable trouble in defeating. However, up to date, the locals have won two out of three games they have played against the Quaker bunch. D e catur.

The game was payed without a kick being registered by either side and was a nice game to lock at. Weber led the team in hitting yesterday, he securring three clean drives in four times up. He also played the first sack in a marvelous fashion. Old reliable Jim Pierce had the only error made by the locals and this was on a hard hit ball. Jim has played in every game so far this season and has made but three errors. Guess that's playing the game to perfection. Fisher is a nice pitcher with lots of speed and good control and will win more than his share of the gafnes he pitches. This town however always proved to be a hoodoo to him and up to the present time he has never won a game against Decatur. Every member of the team secured a hit yesterday but Winger, and he was unfortunate in pasting his drives right at some one all the time. This cannot last forever and we predict when he starts in hitting he will make some pitchers sick. Jessup caught a nice game for the visitors, and captured several difficult hard foul flys after long runs. Jessup is an old head and knows the game from A to Z. Witham finished the game yester- ; day by nailing a hard line drive off ; Mintzler's bat that went right over 1 the bag and was headed for the fence. Churubusco is putting up a nice game.
