One hundred bushels of nice peaches and plums at the Anderson and Baker restaurant for Monday and Tuesday. Don’t fail to look them over. We asked a man who was going through town last week driving an automobile what the figures 57-07 on the rear of CTe machine meant? He said it stood for 57 accidents thus far in the year 1907. A stout man got onto his knees to propose to a telephone girl. He stuttered and stammered, and swallowed and spit and when he thought he had pumped up wind enough to blow the word out, the telephone bell rang. The young lady jumped up to answer the call, but at the same time turned to the struggling young man and said. “Now don’t move, I'll ■ be back in a minute.” The Logansport papers are certainly ' handing it to each other just now. The 1 Pharos of that city contains an article ■ which says the morning agitator with • flaring headlines, boldly announces 1 this morning that it saved the hospital 1 for the city of Logansport The antics of this paper are amusing to the reading public and it efforts to regain public favor are in some instances admired because of the enormous amount of gall it takes to continue it. To the party who wrote us a letter asking if we would charge anything to come out and address their reunion, was answerd no. but there are certain conditions always submitted. We don't want to be placed at the end of the table where there is nothing but graham crackers, or be expected to pronounce a eulogy over a said to be young chicken when we have every reason to believe it was one that did the crowing when Peter denied his Lord.

The auditor of state Is sending out notices to different cities warning them of the danger of accepting bonds from certain companies. Under the present law of this state some of the companies which are conducting a bonding business are unfit to do so, as they are not organized with enough capital to do so. The statute requires that each bonding company must have a stated amount of capital before they can issue a bond for an officer or contractor and a number of them in this state are not reliable. Preparations are being made to run another “fruit special’’ through Indiana this fall for the purpose of ed ucating the horticulturists in the care of trees. Last year a “fruit special was run over the railroads of central Indiana, the train being manned by professors from the agricultural experiment station at Purdue university. So much good resulted from the lectures and demonstrations that were given on the trip that, it was decided to run another train this year, and to extend the time necessary for the trip to two weeks instead of one, as of'last year. No, 3 the west bound passenger due here at 11:59 a. m. on the Clover Leaf, hit and killed a child yesterday morning at Herbst, a small station eight miles west of Marion. The child, the eighteen-year-old hoy of James Hubbard, was playing on the track near his home. He had run away while his mother was at a neighbors, and went out on the track. Number 3 is not scheduled to stop at the small station and the child was almost upon the track before the engineer noticed its presence. Although every effort was made to stop the train, it hit the baby, killing it instantly.—Bluffton Banner. EMANUAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.

Mr. and Mrs. Earnest Steele will be guests of relatives at Fort Wayne tomorrow. N. C. Merit, of Warren, Indiana, came to the city today to visit with relatives over Sunday. True Fristoe returned last night from Fort Wayne, where he attended the wedding of a college chum. Eggs took another jump in the local market and are now quoted at twenty cents. Butter is still at eighteen. A Missouri editor apologizes thus: “We expected to have a marriage and a death notice this week, but a- violent storm stopped the ■wedding, and the doctor being sick himself, the patient recovered, and we are accordingly cheated out of both items. “The Slave” and “Life Behind the curtain” is the title of the show presented at the Pictorium this evening and will be presented for one night only. The slave is a dramatic description of the slavery of the war times and the pictures are very exciting. Life Behind the Curtain is a series of comic pictures showing the production of a show by a home taent company and the reception they received by the audience. It will pay you to see these pictures. The electric show presents an entire change of program this evening for the benefit of their patrons, the films being entitled “In Seville ’ and “Private Adkins Minds the Baby.” The first named films are the most beautiful ever shown in our city, they being descriptive, interesting and instructive. They show many interesting things that exist in that country and are bound to please. The last named films show the predicament a young soldier gets into after promising to take care of a baby. These films are very amusing. Don’t fail to see these shows, as they are the best ever.

Winona, one of the greatest religious centers in the country, has never had a bad fire. The assembly was established about twelve years ago and since that time the park city, with its hundreds of houses and numerous larger buildings has never had the semblance of a disastrous blaze. The park, however, is prepared for any emergency, having a volunteer fire department and a fire engine. Every man at the park is a fire fighter, it being an ironclad rule that should a blaze occur, the moment the alarm is sounded every man is required to drop everyhlng instantly and assist in fighting fames.

Miss Fancheon Rice returned this morning from a short visit with her brother Edward at Berne. Mrs. Cramer and daughter went to Kendalville this morning to make a short visit with her son John. Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Smith, of Crawfordsville, Indiana, friends of Robert Shrock, are in the city the guests of the Shrock family for over Sunday. The Bluffton ball team arrived this morning to engage in a series of two games with the locals, w-hich will be the closing games for the intial season of the 1-0 league. Many Decatur people visited the Portland and Van Wert fairs and from what they report, both -were quite successful financially and from a spectators’ point of view.

A STRANGE AFFAIR (Continued from page 1.) all day yesterday and took extra precautions last night to guard away a further attempt. The opinon generally in Monroe is that it was the work of petty robbers or jokers, probably the latter, as real burglars would scarcely have acted so strangely bold. The bank vault is a modern one and the safe practically burglar proof and men of good judgment place no connection between the affair and that institution, but the next midnight visitor who acts strangely about the Liechty premises will receive a different welcome, as the cashier has properly armed himself.

WILL BE CLOSED We will be all closed all day Wed. Sept. 18 also will be closed at 5 p. m. on account of a Religious Holiday. THEfHI® DECATUR. IND.
