Business men generally, do not like to wear rubbers or overshoes of any kind. If you have to step out of your place of business for a few minutes a dozen times a day you don’t want to put on overshoes each time, and if you don’t, you’ve got a cold I have a shoe that was built for you. The upper is of dull Borro Jap leather which shines like patent if you want to shine it. The soles are heavy single, filled with V iscol, 'making them waterproof. They are made on the new Shorty last and sell at $4.00 the pair.

Stoneburner presents a new show this evening at the Pictorium entitled “His First Skating Lesson” and “The Mutes Masquerade.” Both of these films are very amusing and are bound to please the public.

Lehne, the jeweler, has been troubled by some one spitting tobacco juice upon his display window, thereby making the same sticky and unsightly. Mr. Lehne has secured a person to watch up and arrest the offender and if the miscreant is caught he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The trick is a dirty, filthy one and is certainly not the work of a gentleman. A large crowd was present last evening at the Bosse Opera House for the opening production, “Dad's Gal ’ as given and rendered by the famous Elites. The show was far above the average, and those who attended seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. The cast is good and the theater going people of Decatur will be royally entertained for the remainder of the week. The work of the orchestra was excellent. Negotiations are on for the lease of the third floor of the Kreigbaum building on east Franklin street for use during the proposed Elks’ bazaar. The third floor is sixty by one hundred and thirty-two feet and will make an ideal place for the attraction. Plans are rapidly being closed for the event and all Elks are more than enthusiastic. The lease for the room had not been closed this afternoon— Huntington Herald. The steam heating plant that is being installed at the Adams county jail is fast nearing completion, and from all present indications will be completed by December first. The task of putting in a heating job of this kind is no small one as many obstacles are met in the construction of the same. The most difficult feature is the drilling through the heavy floors and walls. The plant when installed will be complete in every respect. The work is being done by P. J. Hyland and his force of men. The condition of Mayor L. A. Guthrie who is confined to his bed suffering from a nervous attack, is somewhat improved today and his relatives have been given more encouragement by the attending physician than for some time.

For some ime the condition of Mayor Guthrie was such as to demand the almost constant attention of physicians. —Muncie Press.

A large and enthusiastic crowd of rooters for both teams was present. The Berne team and several of their friends were royally entertained at supper in the evening by Miss Alice Dailey at her home near Decatur. — Berne Witness. Rev. Bergman informs us that on several different mornings he has found beer and whiskey bottles lying around in the yard at the Christian church,and that the parties who have been lotering there at nights should take warning as if their identity becomes known trouble may follow. A word to the wise is sufficient, so the guilty parties should take heed lest they find themselves in the strong arm* of the law. Local bankers are expecting the promised supply of Chicago clearing house checks to reach Huntington this evening. If they come as promised they will be ready for distribution in the payment of Erie pay checks not yet cashed Tuesday morning. It is estimated by some that fully threefourths of the checks issued here last week have already been cashed by merchants and others. The clearing house checks will complete the payment of the pay day checks, and the situation will be normal—Huntington Herald.

P. K. Kinney made a business trip to Geneva this afternoon. Ida Payne was granted a divorce by Judge Cook this morning from her husband, Samuel Payne, who was heralded throughout the length and breadth of Indiana as the laziest man in Indiana. His wife in her complaint charged that he stayed in bed because he did not want to work and refused to buy her coal so she could take in washing to support him. The husband was ordered to pay sls to her attorneys—Huntington Democrat. New rials were refused the Clover Leaf in circuit court at Charleston in the Bingaman and Gilbert cases, which the railroad lost at the November term of court. In each case the plaintiffs—R. A. Bingaman of Trowbridge in the first, and J. L. Gilbert in the second—obtained damages in a small sum for the destruction of property. It is said that the Clover Leaf probably will take an appeal to the Supreme court, as the cases affect others in which a large amount of damages is demanded from the company.—Frankfort Crescent

The Mritz and Covault blacksmith shop started work this morning repairing the rollers that were used in Bet Hunnicut’s fruitless attempt to move the Curryville elevator. The whole outfit will be overhauled before they are used again. The gangs have four rollers to each set, turning on three-inch steel axles. Sixteen of these gangs were placed under the building and some idea of the immense weight may be gained when it bent the avles till the rollers rubbed against the upper part of the collars. The owners of the building are undecided yet whether they will make another attempt to move the building or not. —Bluffton Banner. The big fall festival closed Saturday evening with one of the largest crowds of the week in attendance and the grandest amusement success that Bluffton has ever known is over. A rough estimate places the attendance during the six nights at 15 000 people, a large percentage of which were visitors from the surrounding towns and cities. Financially the carnival was also a success, although the large expense attending the task of putting off the event makes the proceeds lower than was expected. It is impossible as yet to ascertain just what amount the lodge will gain, but it is thought that the sum will be in the neighborhood of $3,000. Bluffton News.

School buildings which is a part of | the contract he received some timeago. Eight cars are to be furnishedand up to date Mr. Hale has delivered five of them. Several cars of machinery and other equipment were received today from Marion for the Coppock Motor Car works. The machinery is being rapidly placed in shape and will soon be ready for operation. A force of men are working every day and if goes along smoothly, it i will not be long before the wheels will commence to revolve. •

The Packard Music House of Decatur Is a salesroom, selling direct from the Packard factory at Ft. Wayne, to the consumer. We are in position to sell you a better piano or organ for less money than the small dealer, who buys one or two instruments at a time. Besides the instrument you buy of us, has the Packard factory back of it, and your banker will tell you that no better guarantee is needed, because the Packard factory has been tuning out satisfactory instruments for nearly half a century, and hardly any neighborhood can be found but that the Packard Music House has a number of pleased customers, all of whom will recommend the Packard instruments. L. F. ALEXANDER, AGENT. Nrvrth of the Decatur Public Library Decatur Ind

A fine time will be had by all who attend.
