The marshal had been looking for Grim since Sunday morning and finally landed him last evening. Grim denies the charge in every way.

The recent rains are responsible for the many weeds that decorate so many yards today and it is due time that the property owners have them cut before they are fined in the court. The new electric theater will present the same show tonight that they did last night, owing to the fact that rain kept many people away. This show is fine in every respect, and no one should fail to attend that enjoy a good clean exhibition. W ,W. Aspinwall, of Marion, spent today with his army comrade, Simeon Fordyce. Years ago he lived at Pleasant Mills, and during the civil war was a member of Co. H, fortyseventh Indiana infantry. The wise merchant is selling his summer goods out just now. The wise man turns his money over rapidly. An advertisement in the Daily Decmocrat will do it for you. The Pathfinders of this city are not pleased with a notice that appears in the current issue in the paper published by the order. It seems that the supreme lodge has decided to require the old members to pay an assessment in order to equalize the receipts of the order. The death benefits have been so heavy that the officers are afraid they will not be able to meet all the claims if they do not adopt some plan for increasing the revenues. The marriage of Senator A. J. Beveridge and Miss Catherine Eddy will take place August 7 in Berlin. Senator Beveridge is a distant relative of Mrs. Mary Kennett and Miss Eddy is a relative of Mrs. Sarah Frash, of this city.

They will reside in Indianapolis.—Hartford City News. ■ o FOR SALE —A house and lot on 215 South Line street. Inquire of Geo. Wertzberger. 172-6 t

The present base ball series with Van Wert puts the writer in mind of a game played in that city a number of years agof by Decatur, at which time Arlie DeVoss, now of Houston, Texas, was playing short stop. The game was progressing along smoothly and the score was one to one in the sixth. DeVoss was the first man up in the seventh, when he made a clean single to center field and at once started on a run to first base. He had not proceeded very far until a big white bull dog came running out of the crowd and caught DeVoss by the seat of the pants,- holding him in this position until the ball was recovered and the runner put out. The play was very amusing, and DeVoss was frightened very much, as he thought the dog was going to bite him at any time. Van Wert won the game by a score of two to one. It Is possible some of the sports of that city will remember the game. Vick Tonnelier is in the city visiting friends and relatives.
