Sam Acker, of Geneva, is in the city the guest of friends and relatives. W. F. Brittson, of Dallas, Texas, has arrived in the city for a visit with friends and relatives. Contractor Peterson is putting in a cement sidewalk at the Sullivan property in the south end. Ben Shrank went to Fort Wayne this morning, where he is taking treatment for his throat from a specialist. Mrs. E. Atwater, of LaGrange, who has been visiting friends and relatives at Ohio City, and Van Wert, passed through here today enroute to her home. The K. of C. of this city who attended the banquet at Fort Wayne last evening report a most enjoyable time and say the celebration was one of the greatest ever given by the Fort Wayne order. Our Decatur industries are able to furnish more men than apply for positions. Many more men could be used in the different factories of our city should they apply, but every one seems busy without seeking employment, hence we must make room for more men and families that will move into Decatur in the next few months. Many people are moving at present. Most of the draymen are busy moving household goods from one house to another. The people are selecting permanent quarters for the winter and it is safe to say that there will be but few if any desirable houses available for the new comer this winter unless some new ones are built at once. Investors make no mistake in placing their money in real estate in Decatur. Tne cement sidewalk rage is still ensuing and Decatur is becoming more beautiful each day. Every cement sidewalk contractor in the city has many walks to put in and when the rage is over Decatur will present a different appearance than in former years. Every property owner seems interested in having a nice walk in front of his house and this certainly increases the value of their real estate. Despite the fact that township trustees were hammered by the papers all over the state for “grafting” and a number were made to give up their ill-gotten gains, there evidently are a tew left who are defying the law and endeavoring to run things to suit themselves. They are up against a strong proposition, however, and the circuit courts are after a few of them who have not been bound by the new law. —Hartford City Gazette.

The management is after either of these two teams, and the one that he hears from first will be the attraction. The Rice and Erwin sewers have been completed by the respective contractors and a notice to hear objections to the assessment roll will be given as soon as the engineer has his report ready. The sewers are complete in every particular, acording to the contractors. Mrs. Burt Nichols, of Jackson. Mich., who has been visiting with Mrs. Adlesperger on Fourth street, took very sick yesterday with an attack of appendicitis and for a short~time it was feared she would have to submit to an operation. She is much improved today and the doctors say that no operation will be necessary at this time. The new law passed by the last legislature having changed the date for ending the fiscal year from Oct. 31 to Sept. 30 in the stare auditor’s oflice Auditor Billheimer will call shortly for earlier reports from the banks and trust companies of the state. The reports will be required to date as of Sept. 30 instead of Oct. 31, as reports have been dated for the last forty years. > ( The Indiana Railroad Commission has ordered a hearing to be held Oct. 23 at its offices in the state house, for the purpose of investigating complaints that the Vandalia and railroads connecting with it are violating the law’ in making and accepting discriminating rates. It seems that the Vandalia has been hauling coal from the Indiana coal fields for delivery to other railroads at rates lower than rate to wholesale consumers for similar distances. The noonday street parade of the Josh Simpkins show attracted considerable attention, and a large crowd gathered at the Holthouse Drug company’s store to hear the band render some of its selections. The band is one of the best ever heard in our city each and every musician being an artist. The parade carried them over the entire city and everywhere they went they were greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds. This company shows this evening at the Bosse Opera House. Mr. Amos R. Walter, well known grocer, former chairman of the republican county committee, and present deputy United States marshal for the Fort Wayne district, is in a serious condition at his home as the result of two attacks of apoplexy which he suffered yesterday afternoon and last evening.

Brown, his physician, stated that the patient had regained consciousness, w’as resting easy and w’hile his condition was serious he was in no immediate danger of death. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

Mrs. Henry Myers went to Geneva this afternon to visit friends and relatives for some time. Mrs. Burt Mangold, who has been sick for several days, is reported as being some better today. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Louden, of Hartford City, are in the city making a pleasant visit with friends. Mr. and Mrs. an Haefling arrived today from Fort Wayne and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Haefling. Miss Iva Steele has returned from Fort Wayne, where she has been visiting with friends and relatives for several days. Sunday morning after vainly trying all night to reach Rev. Jas. A. Sprague with a telephone message, the way was opened and the sad intelligence of his mother’s death Saturday evening at 8:15 announced. He remained for Sunday school and the morning service, after which he left by way of Huntington and the traction line for Osceola. Mrs. Sprague followed Monday. The funeral occurred Tuesday. The mother was afflicted with cancers, and last November had an operation, but the relief was only temporary and others breaking out her case became hopeless and her suffering intense. Deceased was in her fifty-second year. It is the first break in the family circle and only those who have passed that way can truly sympathize with the pastor in his bereavement. —Markle Journal. The Electric theater people have a new show to present to the public at tonight's entertainment and it is interesting and amusing. A two-sub-ject film of more than 1,000 feet will be reeled, representing two of the best subjects that could be shown, to appeal to the public In general. The first subject entitled “Modern Painters” does not only show the most beautiful paintings that a human mind could inagine, but also has a trace of humorous incidents that are bound to make you laugh. The second subject, "The Rival Sisters” showing pictures and incidents true to life is most comical, representing two sisters, both aspiring to become the wife of the same man. A strenuous time is experienced by both, especially the one for whom the suitor has no regards. She dresses as her sister and elopes in an automobile. The removal of her veil reveals her identity and the suitor casts her off and returns to wed the other. I

N. W. Finch, representative of the National Meter company, of Chicago, was a business caller to our city today. Mrs. Robert Ernsberger left this morning for Van Buren, Indiana, to remain over night with her sister, Mrs. Peterson, after which she will return to her home at Louisville, Ky. Henry Cole, a farmer near Van Buren, used a lighted match to signal an interurban car to stop Monday evening. He extended his arm over the track, but held it there too long, and as a result the car struck it and broke the arm between the wrist and elbow.

Mrs. Breiner and daughter Pearl went to Fort Wayne this morning to be the guests of friends for the Jay. Jesse Helm and Pansy Bell were at Fort Wayne last night to witness the play “Brown of Harvard” at the Majestic theater. The show- was enthusiastically received by the large attendance. The work on the Seventh street improvement is progressing nicely in consideration of the fact that only a few men were obtainable to work on it. A number of men can be used on this work to a good advantage and should they apply to contractor Julius Haugk they will be given employment.

The folowing letters remain uncalled for at the postoffice: Harry BoJwan, O. L. Bridge, Miss Sarah Brock, Ray Grunlere, James Harmon, Miss Ida Mooder, J. W. Pensinger, Walter Grove. A letter from Ed Meyers, who left Tuesday for Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he will take a course of work in the law department of that famous college says that he is nicely quartered and that he is already in love with that city as a college town. He is expecting to start in from the bottom and work his way through this college until he receives his degree. Ed will no doubt make a success of this work, as he is a close student.
