THEY LIKE TO HEAR FACTS More than seventy recruits to the Democrat family of subscribing readers is the result of the past week. Every one of them is a voluntary contribution to the cause of a free and open market- They express approval of a newspaper that has a few T opinions all its own, and self-assertion enough to give expression to them. They like to hear facts —which they know —repeated for the edification and good of the general public. They especially like to hear something on markets that is not labeled and O.K.’d by the chief beneficiary and organ grinder of the trust. At present writing they are satisfied. Along with these expressions of approval we are also receiving an unlimited supply of memoirs and personal experiences with this great octopus—the market trust. We are

canning them for preservation. Some of these testimonials, if given publicity in print, would even make the giant head of the market trust sit up and take notice. They tell the same old tale of pushing the market down, driving trade and business away from Decatur and demoralizing trade conditions generally. The stand and deliver policy of the trust is clever in originality and perfect in execution, but it is cold and bloodless. If Decatur regains her standing, she must shake off the shackles of business depression as supplied by the Market Trust. The Market Trust broke the silence of a week and advanced eggs one cent, the quotation today being fifteen cents. A Denver paper asks the public to believe that a married couple in the Colorado city have lived together sixty I years without either saying a cross word to the other. The story may be true, but what a deadly dull life they must have lived! —Muncie Star. One of the ministers declares that a woman has no sense when she is 'in love. Os course a man always rej tains full possession of his reasoning j faculties when he has become conI vinced that some woman with an up- . tilted nose and a raspy voice is an angel. It is getting to be very unpopular to go to Geneva on one afternoon train and come home drunk on the next. The men who drink themselves always feel bored when they see their comrades stagger off the train steps and wabble along like a hog wallowing in the mire.—Berne Witness.

Louis Boyd the popular southpaw pitcher of the city of asphalt, was sent onto the slab to show the locals the way to head in at, but his benders and twisters have long since proved to be ineffective against the locals and eight pretty hits were secured off his delivery, they coming when most needed and when they hurt the worst- Tom Railing, our big dark complected pitcher, who was forced to play the outfield, owing to the absence of Nash, who is suffering from a lame back, furnished the spectacular play of the game, and ended all chances Bluffton had of scoring and winning the game in the ninth inning when by a magnificent burst of speed and a leap into the atmosphere, he pulled down a long fly in (Continue don page 4.)

IT IS NOW McCABE UNIVERSITY Taylor University, of Muncie. Changed Its NameTaylor university of Muncie is no more. There is now but one Taylor university, and that is the old original Taylor university, of Upland, Grant the trustees of “Taylor university of Muncie, it was decided to abandon the name they had tried to appropriate and call their institution McCabe university. The name is supposed to be in honor of Bishop C. C. McCabe, a noted Methodist divine who died in New York City some time ago- Bishop McCabe being dead, cannot resent the use of his name, but his surviving relatives may not relish its being used under the circumstances. o— — John Webber went to Bluffton this morning on business.

MET TRAGIC DEATH Albert Walsh of Chicago Killed by Burglar WELL KNOWN IN THIS CITY Mrs. Mary Wemhoff Receives Message Announcing the Death of Her Cousin. Mrs. Mary Wemhoff received a telegram this morning from Chicago, announcing that her cousin,Albert Walsh, a prominent citizen of that city, had met death early last evening by being shot by burglars. The message was very short, and Mrs. Wemhoff was unable to Inform us concerning any of the particulars of the tragedy other than that he had been killed. MrWalsh lived practically in the heart of the city, being a prominent business man, and her theory is that he returned home early in the evening, discovered the burglars, and rather than submit to being captured, they murdered him. Mr. Walsh was well known in this city, having visitod here with the Wemhoff family and while here made many friends, who will be grieved to learn of his sudden and untimely demise. Mrs. Wemhoff left at noon today for Chicago, where she will attend the funeral services of the deceased. Messrs. Dan and John Baily went to Berne this afternoon to visit their sister, Mrs. Paul Gerber. Mrs- Page Blackburn and children returned this afternoon from a several days’ outing at Rome City.
