It is possible that the United States Express company will remain in business in the Indiana towns on the L. E. & W. and other New York Central lines in spite of the fact that those lines will carry express for the American company only. The United States company is said to have contracted with one traction company and will ship packages out of Peru over the interurban- It is likely that it will also contract with the Indiana Union Traction company, which would enagle it to reach the same Indiana towns that it formerly reached by the L. E. & W —Hartford City News. Carnival companies are having hard sledding in Indiana this season. In the first place, but few towns will permit carnivals to use the streets, on the ground that they are a nuisance, and in the second place the towns which do tolerate them patronize them lightly. Carnivals such as have come into existence in the last few years, are made up of the cheapest kind of shows which give little for the money. Furthermore, their tendency is believed to be demoralizing- At any rate, they have no business on the streets and city governments that permit them are lacking in their duty to the citizens.

ITEMS OF INTEREST IN DECATUR Taken From the Herald, Willshire's Newsy Weekly. Mrs- I. Neptune was over from Decatur last Friday, looking after her property interests near Willshire. Lightning struck the buildings on the Neptune farm several times recently, but did little damage. Mrs. Neptune believes that the force of the lightning was spent in coming in contact with the lightning rods on the house, thus saving the buildings from destruction. It is a comfortable feeling to have. The laying of the foundation of the new W. J. Cully building reveals a carefully guarded secret, and it is this: When completed, the first floor of the building will be used for a banking room by the Willshire Bank Co. The building of a vault foundation gives practical demonstration of this conclusion, and a public statement of the president of the Willshire Bank Co. to that effect will have a tendency to place a permanent quietus on speculation as to who gets the room and what goes into it. Beginning August 1, 1907, the business of the Herald Printing and Newspaper publication will be done under the firm name of Hoffer and Baxter, Mr. I. H. Baxter, who has been publishing the Wren Journal for the past five months, becoming the associate publisher of the Willshire Herald. This arrangement was made for business reasons only, it being the mutual belief that there is not sufficient rooin in Willshire township for two newspaper businesses and printing offices. It is thought that by joining forces that the best interests of the public and the publishers can be best subservedo A LITTLE MONEY.

Always Be In Good Humor and Talk Pleasant Things. Here are some interesting Mussulman injunctions of conviviality, says the London Lancet. The honor of being served first belongs to the invited guest who is Ln the possession of any high title or who has in any way or sphere distinguished himself. If the host himself is the oldest in the company or has any high decoration of merit, he must first begin the meal without delay in order not to let the others unduly wait. It shows bad upbringing to be in a melancholy mood at table or to speak of disagreeable things er to engage in inappropriate discussions on matters of religious piety. Foremost of all, one must always be in good humor and talk of pleasant things, as did the prophet himself. You must always help yourself from the side of the dish nearest to you and never try to find out the best bits, which ought to be left for other guests. If one of the invited has not much appetite, you must ask him up to three times with some kind chosen words to partake of the meals. A longer Insistence would cause ennui and would be most inappropriate. You must never stop eating before others, because in doing so you will embarrass them and cause them to finish quickly in imitating you. Never eat gluttonously, but also never attempt to conceal your good appetite. Always eat little by little. Exaggerated compliments are always misplaced. The host’s duty Is to make his guests feel as comfortable as possible, encouraging the timid and shy. It is contrary to good taste to address and to fix the attention of a guest when he is eating. Even if the host is not accustomed to eat much he must always try not to finish before others. Should any dish be forbidden to him by his medical attendant he certainly must not partake of it, but must at the same time excuse himself before his guests. It is absolutely necessary to avoid every movement or gesture which is apt to create disgust. THE Electric Theatre TONIGHT Admission 5 Cents.
