Fifteen colored men arrived this tnorning from Marion, Ind., and started in to work upon the Seventh street improvement. The men are experts in the way of putting in brick streets and will no doubt rush this three squares rapidly to completion. Now Mr. Haugk was forced to secure the services of these men, owing to the fact that he could not secure home labor that was proficient in this line. The interlocking switch system that is being installed at the junction of 'the three roads is fast nearing completion and by the middle of next week can be put in operation and running order. The work is now practically completed with the exception of a few minor details and before the same is put into actual running order must be inspected by the state inspector. The system installed is the best in the country.

The Indiana railroad commission has set December 2 as the date for the resumption of the inquiry into the rates charged by express companies in Indiana. This investigation was begun several weeks ago, and was discontinued on account of other business. The investigation is based on information which has been received by the commission to the effect that the earnings of the express companies doing business in the state are excessive and unreasonable.

The supreme court has decided that in county-seat cities where the county treasurer is not made ex-offlcio city treasurer by law, and in all cities which are not county seats, the county treasurer must still collect the city taxes, and pay them over to the city treasurers. The cities of Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Anderson, Muncie, South Bend and Terre Haute are the county seats in which the cobnty treasurer is required to perform all the duties of city treasurer. All the others- are required to elect city treasurers. Boys do you know that you are watched and often inquired after by those seeking boys or young men for service? The questions propounded to the older one are “Does he chew or smoke? Does he keep late hours? Does he drink or play cards? Can you recommend him to be honest and industrious? Will he spend his earnings or will he be saving? The rule as laid down by the railroads and others who employ young help is that the careful, temperate, prudent boy will best serve their purpose and will not fail when moved on to advanced positions. The world is fast losing its place for idlers and seeking young men to fill all positions with ability and honor.

Mrs. David Heller, of Linn Grove, returned to her home this afternoon after enjoying a visit in the city. The Ladles’ Aid Society of the Baptist church were delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. Harve Shroll last night, with more than fifty people present to enjoy the evening of pleasure. An elegant supper was served and all had a royal time. Remember Elks, that there is something doing this evening at the lodge room in the way of initiation. Two candidates will be introduced into the mysteries of Elkdom, and you should be present to assist them through. Lodge opens at the usual hour, so be present. The Decatur high school orchestra has secured several jobs in the next Tew weeks, that will test their ability to the limit. The boys have been earnestly practicingand are confident that they can handle the same without any apparent trouble. The boys have a nice musical organization and should be encouraged to keep together. Several rough houses were held in several of the saloons last evening and in one of the arguments a certain man and his son received a pretty severe drubbing. The argument like all saloon brawls, started over a drink, and in the end some one was forced to suffer the consequences. It is rumored that several arrests will be made today. ‘ Ed Kintz, the popular young school teacher, informed us today that he had accepted a position with the clothing firm of Teeple, Brandyberry and Peterson to work on Saturdays only. The Saturday rush at this store since they have opened up has demanded, more help and a deal with Mr. Kintz was closed. The firm could not have picked up a more popular man than Ed as he is accommodating in every respect and has the good will of all.

Orval G. Brim, principal of the Berne schools,, visited the Decatur schools Wednesday. The Berne teachers were given a visiting day which they spent at various places, including Portland, Fort Wayne and Decatur. Samuel Wyatt has returned from St. Joe, Indiana, where he was engaged in working the picture business. The colored men who contractor Julius Haugk has engaged to lay the brick on Seventh street, have arrived and will start to work at once in preparing the street for pavement, which will be commenced next Monday. According to report emanating from the general offices of the Chicago & Alton the next move in the plans of the Alton and Clover Leaf will be the consolidation of the car accountant departments of both roads at St. Louis. At present the Clover Leaf car accountant is at Frankfort and that of the Alton in Chicago. As the two systems meet at St. Louis and not at Chicago, it was suggested that the proper place for the combined offices is the former city, thus enabling a more expeditious compilation of records of car movements. —Frankfort Crescent. Frank Runyan today received a letter from President Kling, of the In-diana-Ohio league advising him that there will be a meeting of the various managers of the league next Sunday in Richmond, and Inviting him to be present. Mr. Runyan says he will attend the meeting, as it is proposed to discuss plans for a league for President Kling inclosed a statement showing that the league treasury received a total of $967.89 from the six clubs as follows: Bluffton, $85.62; Kokomo, $204.45; Decatur, $125.48; Richmond, $301.38; Van Wert, $159.38; and Portland, $91.58. It cost for Empires $653.50, and incidentals brought the total expenses up to sßß7.Bß.—Bluffton News.

Mrs. W. E. Fulk and Mrs. David Gerber went to Berne this afternoon to be at the bedside of the former’s aunt, Mrs. Jacob Meshbarger, who is dangerously ill. The new furnace that was installed yesterday at the interurban plant is working in great shape, and is more than doing the work. The furnace is one that is manufactured by the Decatur furnace company and is a 'beauty. Elmer Johnson left for Pittsburg, 'today, where he expects to make his future home. Mr. Johnson expects to engage in the horse business at that place and as he has always met with fair success in that line should get along in excellent shape. Nelson Bricker, of Geneva, who has been working for the McK. county directory in securing the population of Washington township, outside of the city of Decatur, reports that he has completed the same, and flfids that the of people living outside the city are 1,245. This is a big increase and shows that there is no race suicide here. Mr. Bricker was very accurate in his count and is positive he is correct.

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.
