Lase Ellis and Clem Voglewede who have been trying to catch all the fish in Clear Lake will return sometime tonight. They will undoubtedly bring back several hundred pounds of fish. Cincinnati with Miller Huggins and all the celebrated Reds will play Dunkirk at the South Side park, Muncie, July 1. Harry Hay will be in the box for Dunkirk. Dunkirk has* an idea it can beat Cincinnati, as it has wiped Portland off the map six out of ten games between the two towns. M. E. Babcock, who recently purchased the news stand and who takes possession on next Monday, is in his new place of business learning the crooks and turns of the trade. Mr. Babcock expects to run the business on the old basis and insures prompt and accurate delivery. Rollo Shaw and his wife arrived last evening from Alliance, 0., and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Reynolds. Ro !o is working for the Pennsylvania railroad at the above named place and from all reports i. getting along in excellent shape. He was married but a few days ago and is on his honeymoon. The Standard Oil Company will, within two years, own and operate a complete transcontinental railroad system in the opinion of those familiar with such matters. This line will extend from the Atlantic tidewater at Newport News, Va., to Seattle and mile will be controlled by the Standmie will be controlled by the Standard Oil interest and from the day it opens it will be the most potent transportation influence on the continent.

Miss Anna Cramer went to Monroe this afternoon for a visit with friends and relatives. E. Woods went to Ft. Wayne this morning to be a witness in the Andrew Miller law suit.

Miss Bessie Drummond has returned from Bluffton, where she has been visiting with Mrs. Erman Mentzer for several days. Miss Blanche Beeler of North Manchester, came to the city today to remain here several days with friends and relatives. A number of people drove to the Nuttman land this morning and watched the burning of the oil. The sight is a rare one in this section of the county, and attracted considerable attention. The first water melons of the season made their appearance in our city today and were on sale at the various restaurants. The fruit at present is a little expensive, but from all reports has the same old taste. Dyke Frisinger informed us today that he had received a letter from his father, J. M. Frisinger, stating that he was standing the trip in excellent shape and would land some time this week. The letter was written while on the boat. Mr. Frisinger will keep in touch with Decatur happenings by reading the Daily • Democrat while in the old country. Since the “busting” of the paper trust, all sorts of paper has advanced in price almost double, as compared to the price before the “bust.” And since the meat trust has gotten into court and been fined a big pile of money, the price of meat has gone balooning. The trusts have got to have money from some source to pay these fines, and, of course, the poor carniverous people have to pay the fiddler.—Exchange. P. H. Houlahan, general superintendent of the Clover Leaf, came to Delphos Tuesday evening from Van Buren in his private car. He made an inspection of the company's property while here. At the Clover Leaf shops Locomotive No. 17 has been thoroughly repaired and it will be used in hauling through freight. No. 56 has been brought from Marion, Ind., to Delphos for light repairs.— Delphos Herald. The crowds and excitement which has attended Bluffton ball games so far this season have been nothing compared with what is in store for this week, for Bluffton goes to Decatur Wednesday and Decatur plays a return game at Bluffton Friday and if either team is able to scrape together enough able-bodied men after that they may continue the season. The Decatur games are the result of the Leland Giants of Chicago canceling their games in this section. —Montpelier Herald. According to an act of the last legislature, if the farmers desire aid in conducting the farmers’ institutes they must first organize and help themselves. They are required to enroll their name and pay a fee of not less than twenty-five cents each. When they have become properly organized if necessary they may draw on the ■county treasury for a sum of equal to the amount subscribed by the members, provided that that sum does not exceed SIOO. This makes it possible for a county to secure S2OO institute funds. Dr. J. N. Hurty, the active secretary of the state board of health, has taken to himself an assistant, Dr. Guy Coffin, now of Indianapolis. This was done owing to the fact that work of the office has become entirely too much for one man —“too much in fact for two men,” said Dr. Hurty. Dr. Coffin’s duties include the inspection of school houses, with a view to condemnation proceedings; work in the pure food and drug campaigns; work in case of special epidemics in any part of the state; and anything else that the secretary may find for him to do. The interurban railroads won in the supreme court Wednesday on the main proposition that the use of the streets by their cars is no more an “additional servitude” than their use by city street cars, as long as they are operated within the city like street cars. But the court holds that whatever special damages they inflict on ‘adjoining property by running so fast as to shake down houses, or by the improper operation of their cars in bther respects, must be paid. All of the judges express the opinion that interurban cars cannot be excluded from the streets by abutting owners, the owners having a right, at most, to recover damages.

Pat Kinney went to Geneva this afternoon on legal business. A number of Decatur people went to Bluffton today to witness the ball game. George Maddy returned this afternoon from his regular business trip on the road. Miss Sally Vesey has been in the city for a few days the guest of Miss Harriett Morrison. Raymond Bremerkamp went to Bluffton this morning to root* for the Decatur ball team. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Voglewede returned this afternoon from a short visit at Ft. Wayne. Paul O’Neil returned to his home at Richmond this afternoon after making a pleasant visit in the city with Dr. and Mrs. Wilcox. Turtle fishing seems to be the favorits pastime among local fishermen at present and some very good catches have been reported during the past few days. The new Decatur Produce company’s building that has been under construction for some time past is about completed. The roof has been finished and it will soon be ready for occupancy. A ball team composed of a number of young boys drove to Berne this afternoon, where they will cross bats with the Berne city team. The boys were confident of victory and will no doubt return this evening wreathed in smiles. The plumbers are all quite busy at present putting in water meters for various property owners who desire to comply wih the resolution recently adopted by the common council. In fact every one wants their meter put in at the same time hence the rush. The Winona season opens next Monday with concerts by the Rogers’ band which has been playing at the lake for several years. In the evening the Gamble concert party, made up of high class soloists, who give programs especially pleasing to discriminating music lovers,' will give a concert. The first lecturer will be John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta Georgian, said to be the most eloquent speaker of the South. Lewis Clark, of Berne who was arrested a few’ days ago at Ft. Wayne by Samuel Kuntz for deserting his wife and family and lodged in the county jail, was released from custody this afternoon after paying the costs that have act imu.ated and giving his promise that he will go back to his wife and children an I live as a man should. If he repeats the offense no leniency will be showm to him so it is up to Mr. Ciark to return to his family in a more creditable manner in justid-: to himself and famTwenty more were initiated into the Uniform Rank of the K. of P. last night. This will make their membership sufficiently large to make it almost certain that they will outdistance Terre Haute at the state meeting in August. The time has been extended and the lodges will have until August 1 to carry out their campaigns and the local lodge does not propose to lie down now just because it has a good lead but will put up a fight to the very end of the time allotted for securing new members for the rank. —Huntington Democrat. Do the little striped bugs drive you almost to desperation by eating up your cucumber and melon patch? Somebody suggess that these pests can be kept away in the following manner: Take a small branch of a tree about two feet long and stick it in the ground at an angle so that the point will be directly over your hill of cucumbers. Take a strip of paper eight or ten inches long and an inoh or two in width and suspend it with a string from the end of the switch directly over the vines. The breeze will keep it in motion and the hugs will skidoo. The scheme is easily tried, The indications are that one of the biggest crowds of the season will be in attendance at the opening game here Sunday. Fans are hungry for the sort and every one will be a booster for the home team. The club that will represent Hartford City will have in its lineup at least three of the Hartford City’s home boys, all of whom have made good with other teams in the gas belt. They have not been secured because they are home players, but because they are ball players above the average in amateur circles. —Hartford City Gazette. The officers and employes of the Pennsylvnia railroad were somewhat surprised at Pittsburg when an order was issued stating that on and after July 1 the transportation of household goods, coal and other freight for the officers and employees shall be at the July tariff rates, from which there shall be no rebates except that freight charges may be refunded upon shipment of household goods, the propery of officers and employees whose place of residence may be changed by their appointment by the company to a position which necessitates a change of location.

Roy Sautbine went to Bluffton this morning to see the ball game that came off at that place. Fred Vaughn went to Bluffon this morning and he will be the official scorer at the ball game. Julius Haugk and workmen are progressing nicely with the construction of Madison and Third streets. Leo Yeager returned to the city this afternoon from his regular business trip and will remain here over Sunday. Mrs. Elizabeth Krantz, of Portland, passed through the city today enroute to Rochester, Ind., where she will be the guest of relatives for some time. Herman Ehinger, who was shot in the chest a few days ago. by his playmate, is recovering in nice shape, and will soon be as well as ever. The wound is healing nicely and all danger from the same is passed This will prove encouraging news to his many little friends. Invitations are out announcing that on next Thursday evening the members of the Knighs of Columbus lodge will give a shirt waist dance at their spacious hall. The new orchestra has been secured to render the music and they will no doubt entertain their guests in a royal manner. The ball team will leave Saturday evening for Dunkirk, where they will meet that crack tarn on Sunday. The boys are determined to secure revenge for their recent defeats at the hands of this team and expect to return home with the long end of the score. Harry Hay will oppose Oscar Way in the box. George Brewster who secured the contract for the construction of the new bank at Monroe Informed us last evening that the work on the new building wa» going along as nicely as could be expected, and that the same would be ready for occupancy within a short time. The building is to be modern in every respect. Wheat was on a rampage again today in the Chicago and Toledo exchanges. and both markets closed to within a fraction of a cent of the dollar mark. The local merchants are again in a quandary as to how to quote the price of this commodity, as it is running up and down every day. Dollar wheat again looks like an assured thing. John Rex, who is suffering with a mild form of blood poison in the right hand, had the same operated upon yesterday and a large mass of puss was removed which afforded him much relief. The hand is swo'len in bad shape and he is unable to do anything, and is thus kept from his regular duties. It is thought by his physicians that all danger is passed and he will soon be able to resume his work. Charlie* Voglewede, the shoe man, has a very neat way of advertising the merits of his shoes and the same is attracting considerable attention from passersby. In his show window’ he has a number of X-Ray pictures show’ing the human foot while enclosed in a shoe that is sold by him, and demonstrates how a shoe should fit the foot. By the side of these photos he has the shoes that are guaranteed to fit the feet and give the comfort. The advertising scheme is a neat one and Mr. Voglewede is to be congratulated upon his ingenuity. David Bixler was retelltly doing some repair work on an old clock belonging to Jonathan Merryman, living west of Monroe. Mr. Merryman was in town Wednesday to get it. The clock had been bought by his* greatgrandfather for $lO4. It is now 110 years old, is constructed entirely of wood, with the exception of the escape wheel, w’hich is of brass, and is the only brass wheel in the w’hole mechanism. The dimensions of the clock are about 20 by 36 inches. It is to remain in the family forever, and after the death of Jonathan it is to go to his younger brother Judge James T. Merryman.—Berne Witness. With the amount of work there is to do in and about the city of Decatur there is no need of any laboring man to claim that he is unable to secure work. Mr. Haugk, who is putting in Madison street informs us that on next Monday he can use fifteen men and that he can use the same number at his quarry. This is only a sample of the numerous positions that are open, and we are unable to understand why laboring men sit around and bewail their fate and claim there is nothing to do. It certainly looks as if they didn’t want to work or they would accept one of the numerous jobs open. The New Electric Theatre Admission 5 Cents.

A man who is In perfect health, so be can do an honest day’s work when necessary, has much for which he should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Rodgers, of Branchton, Pa., writes that he was not only unable to work, but he couldn’t stoop over to tie his own shoes. Six bottles of Foley’s Kidney Cure made a new man of him. He says, “Success to Foley’s Kidney Cure.” THE HOLTHOUSE DREG CO.
