A party of Decatur citizens attended the vaudeville performance at the Temple at Fort Wayne last evening. David Miller formerly of this city, who i sknown as Dave Coutner and his partner, Gillette, were greeted with great applause af.er doing their turn. It is stated in several papers in this part of the state that the bonds of the projected Fort Wayne-South Bend Interurban line cannot be floated because of the financial flurries in the money market. Work on the construction of the line was to have commenced several weeks ago, but has been delayed from ime to time and it it now intimated that the road will be abandoned. Perry Randall, cf Fort Wayne is president of the company. The rabbit law as passed by the last legislature has a hole in it, according to some exponents of the law. It provides that rabbits, squirrels and other game may not be hunted between October 15 and November 10, and makes it a misdemeanor to do so, but in fixing the penalty the section only specifies a fine for hunting doves. Some of the rabbit hunters who would like to be out hunting now are afraid to chance it. How we are prone to complain. Last spring when it was raining so long many of our people predicted that no corn would be grown. Others said the wheat, oats and hay would be a failure. But how we were disappointed. While the crops were not so prolific as other years, yet all have plenty. There will be com, wheat, oats and hay for all and when another year comes around we will have forgotten whether we had corn or not-

It has been several years since good winter apples were as hard to get as they are at the present time. It is seldom that any are offered for sale, and as a rule the quality is very interior. Farmers who have good orchards say they picked and put away apples this year that in other years they would hardly use for cider. It was a ground hog case with them. They had to accept the apples or do without. Anything like decent apples sell for a dollar or better a bushel. The Dowagiac Daily News, of Dowagiac, Mich-, is responsible for the inTormation that any booze consumer who wants to quit and get on the water wagon can by himself or his frien’ds make proper application to the board of supervisors and an allowance of SIOO from the public fund will be allowed to send him to the Keely Institute. Chas. Smith, a young man of Dowagiac through his attorney was the first man sent to the cure. It is optional with him whether he ever reimburses the county or not. o County Real Estate Cpmpany.

THE SOCIETY COLUMN (Continued from page 2.) Ches Magley, Mrs Adam Brown, of Arcola; Mrs. John Cline, Curt Brown, Floyd Luttmann, John E. Luttmann. The old farm where Ben Waggoner now lives was purchased by his great grandfaher, William Pillars, in the year 1837. Martin Van Buren, president of the U. 8., wrote the deed in his own hand writing. In the year 1841 it became the property of his grandfather, Benjamin J. Rice, and in 1874 his father, D. C. Waggoner bought it and owned it until his death, after he died Mrs. Waggoner lived there until 1902, when Ben and his brother-in-law Ed Luttmann, bought the place, Ben keeping the part with the old house on which was built in 1849. The house is a large eleven roomer, and is in almost perfect condition.

More grief for the small boy. There ! is one less circus on earth. Ringling Bros., having absorbed the great Barnum and Bailey show. The price , paid was $410,000. The Ringlings are gobbling up all the circuses in sight, and unless new ones are launched they will virtually have a monopoly of the big shows next season. —Delphos Herald. With the awful fear in his heart that his health was being slowly undermined, and that he was the victim of a strange malady, Andrew Wing, of Laporte, yesterday walked from his house out into the street and put two bullets into his heart. After firing the two shots, he walked a few steps and fell to the ground, dying before his relatives reached his side. The dead man leaves a family. E- P. Rucker, editor of the Elkhart Truth, was Thursday cited to appear In the circuit court at 9:30 next Monday and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court in the publication of an article in Tuesday’s Truth which was headed “Lawyears of Elkhart are very' wroth" and which showed that lawyers whose names were not given had criticised Judge Dodge’s action in appointing J. L. Harman special prosecutor and in giving certain instructions to the 'grand jury.—Plymouth Democrat. The question as to the time when the Clover Leaf would see fit to give permission for the C. B. and C. to build their crossing at the junction of the two railroads just north of Wabash street has been settled. D. Nowlan. superintendent of roadway for the Clover Leaf, with headquarters at Frankfort, sent a message to Supt. Curtis enclosing the permit for the crossing to be installed next Sunday. At that time the C. B. and C. will install two crossings, one at the main track and at the switch past the stock yards. When these two crossings are built the new’ line will be able to build 1 out of the city from Washington 1 street. The crossing at Washington i street was put in place yesterday and i the track was laid between Washington street and the Clover Leaf today. —Bluffton New’s.

A car load of potatoes will arrive in the city this week for the M. Fullenkamp store and they will be sold from the car, which will remain on the G. R. and I. track for two days. This will be a great opportunity for Decatur people to buy their winter potatoes at a very low price which will be 70 cents per bushel. A Wisconsin educator has startled the country by the public declaration that the wife is the administrative officer of the family, which is correct, and that she should handle all the money earned by her husband, which is wrong. Men are perfectly willing to be governed by women but when it comes to giving them all the fam ily income to spend, that’s different. LIST your property with the Adams Speeding around the corner of the Wells County bank in his auto last evening Manson Reiff ran into the Mcßride ambulance wagon. The street had been sprinkled a few minutes before and as the auto rounded the comer the rear wheels slid on the pavement across Market street and struck one of the horses and the wagon. Before Reiff could get control of the machine one of the horses had planted a few footprints upon the rear end of the auto. The damage was slight.—Bluffton News. William Farr, the boy who was injured by the Clover Leaf freight yesterday afternoon, still lies in a precarious condition. His head and back were bruised fearfully from being drugged by the car and chances for his recovery are still doubtful. It will be several days before the attending physician can state explicitly whether or not the boy will fully recover- During the night he was troubled with convulsions and got very little rest. The arm was amputated close to the shoulder so that only the head of the bone about three-quarters of an inch, remained. —Bluffton Banner. Talk about base ball fans, they were never in it with the balloon fans of the week Judge Sturgis was listening to an argument on demurrer just at a time when one of the balloons could be seen from the court room windows. Sam Gettys, the court bailiff, had his eye on the court, and understanding his dilemna, shot an obscuring window blind to the top. It gave the judge a glimpse of one of the contestants in the great race, but ■ he wanted to see more. “Excuse ■ me, Mr. Bonham,” said he, “I want to ' see the balloon,” and the court left ■ the bench. The bar and spectators ’ filed out into the street where they . were followed by Bailiff Sam where I the whole bunch rubbered just like all the rest of the city.—Hartford City Gazette.
