W’ilken officiating, and a large crowd being present to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. Interment was made in the St. Joseph cemetery. The floral offering was beautiful and profuse. A large crowd greeted the “Too Proud to Beg” company at the Bosse Opera House last evening and those who attended were more than pleased with the same. The scenic displays were good and each and every member carried out their part to perfection. The company is a new one on the road and from last evening’s production they will no doubt succeed. Cement work for the season of 1907 is now at a close, and there will not be anything doing in this line again until next year. That Decatur did her share of this kind of work during the past year is conceeded and the appearance of our city has been improved a hundred per cent by so doing. Numerous new improvements next year mean more cement walks.

Station agents of the steam roads are now besieged with inquiries as to special holiday rates. The inquiriers are Invariably informed that special holiday rates prevail the year round under the two-cent fare rate and they should not expect a further reduction. Railroad men claim, but it is not believed truthfully, that in this section of the country the towns are so far apart and the number of people that can be hauled is so limited it is hard for any of the roads to make any money under the two-cent rate and it has been decided by the Western Passenger association not to make any further reductions. For some time the traffic on the Erie railroad has been unusually high and some interesting figures are given in a magazine in comparing its freight traffic with that of other roads. More than 450 cars were sent from the local offices during the last mont which exceeds the amount of freight which some of the trunk lines east out of Fort Wayne within the same period. During the same month the Wabash sent out only 169 cars. Despite the fact that some of the local factories have been compelled to partially close down for some time the shipping has not declined an lota but has even been on the increase.-Hunt-icgtoa Democrat.
