He is charged with selling meats in the city market that were prepared in an unsanitary manner. He had fifteen women to testify that his slaughter house was clean and that his meat was properly prepared for the public. Mrs. Rachel Highland, widow of James Highland, who was killed at Trilla In a Clover Leaf accident a few months ago, has made a settlement with the company for the death of her husband, and she has received a draft for $2,000 in payment of her claim against the company.

There have been a number of promotions on the Erie recently and three new ones were adddd to this list last week. One is L. C. Appleman, who has been transferred from a position as agent at Palmer to the telegraph department. E. R. Barney, who was formerly agent at W’infield, has succeeded Mr. Appleman at Palmer and has been succeeded by F. D. Kistler at Winfield.— Huntington Democrat. Diphtheria and scarlet fever are prevailing in many of the surrounding towns, and it might be well for people in this city to guard against these diseases. It is always a good plan never to allow anything of the kind to go any length of time without consulting a physician. By so doing you not only are on the safe side so far as your own children are concerned, but you also avoid being reI sponsible for the spread of the disease | among your neighbors. Employes of the locomotive depart- J I ment of the Pennsylvania shops at i Fort Wayne have been notified that be- ! ginning yesterday the department i would be in operation eight hours the * first five days and five hours the sixth ' day of the week. The action is due 1 to the difficulty in securing cash su - fleient to meet expenses of the com- ' pany and not to any noticeable falling off in business. A month later I will find the shops back on the 0 d schedule, it is believed, with possible overtime. HUNTING NOTICE. I do not permit hunting on my farm.

News was received in this city today from Columbus, Ohio, announcing the death of Mrs. Irene Eder, formerly Mrs. Nolan King, of this city. No funeral arrangements have yet been made. A committee from the Ladies’ Shakespeare club and the Historical society will entertain the actors and actresses who made up the cast in “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch” after tonight's performance, at the library. A new show will be introduced at the Pictortorium this evening entitled “A Troublesome Neighbor.” This is a comic film and is bound to please all who see it. Mr. Stoneburner is producing all new films and will not show anything that has ever been shown in the city before.

Miss Bess Schrock entertained the Thimble club this afternoon in honor of Mrs. Rollo Pifer, Toledo, Ohio, and Mrs. ouis Vanderlip, of Elkhart. The guests were Miss Mina Case, of Magley and the Mesdames C. C. Shafer, Ray Archbold, Dan Quinn. Earl B. Adams and Fanny Cole. The occasion was of course a very happy one. A new sow will be introduced at re Electric teater this evening, the film being in two subjects, “A Great Temptation” and “Tomboys.” The first subject shows how a good woman is enticed away from home by a villain and the result, while the lattershows the pranks of a couple of little girls. The films are both good and should be enjoyed by all. The Thanksgiving ball given by the Columbian club on Wednesday evening was attended by a large crowd and the event socially was the greatest ever held in Decatur The grand march took place at nine o’clock and from that time on until a late hour the crowd tripped the lisht fantastic. The Columbian club members proved themselves royal entertainers and any event given by them in the near future will be attended by a large crowd. The music was furnished by John Wemhoff and Med Miller. The season of “debrutalized football practically ended with a record of eleven deaths and ninety-eight more or less seriously injured players. Compared with last season, the first after the “brutal” features of the game were eliminated, there is no change in the number killed and only a slight decrease in the number of players hurt on the gridiron. The final games of the season on Thanksgiving day and the minor events before that time if the experience of former years is repeated, probably will swell the injured list above last years figure.

SELECTING A HIBbXND. ’ Capture Him While He Is Still Young, Docile and Plaetio. Because it is the duty of every woman to marry some man it by no means follows that she is deprived of the privilege of making acute discrimination. On the contrary, to fulfill her mission as completely as possible she should exercise the greatest care in selecting a mate. Time was when she had no say in the matter, and in some countries she has little or none today, but in this happily civilized land she still possesses and will undoubtedly hold for all time the right first tc choose and then ensnare. It is a noble prerogative—one, in our judgment, that should be appreciated and cherished above all others. And yet, as we have observed, it should be exercised with caution. Let nothing be left to chance, as Plato would have had it when he decreed that pairing should be done by lot. While not overnlce, be at least particular in order that the one chosen may feel honored by the distinction conferred upon him and so be the more readily induced to show his undying gratefulness. Much that was thought and written years ago on how to choose a wife was good enough for the time, but the recent reversal of the relative attitudes of seeker and sought renders it valueless. Nevertheless, despite the fact that in considering the points to be heeded and the precautions to be observed by womankind we find ourselves in a fallow field, certain general principles may be regarded as established. It is best, for example, to capture a husband while he is still young, docile and plastic. Preferably also be should be in love. He may then be trained after the manner best calculated to serve the convenience of her for whom thenceforth he must and should toll.—George Harvey In North American Review. OUR LARGEST SCALES. The Monster Weighing Machine In the Washington Navy Yard. The biggest scales in the country are in the navy yard at Washington. They outweigh the largest railway scales by fifty tons. The latter are not to be sneezed at, for they easily weigh as much as a heavily loaded car. The navy yard scales are so accurate that they come within a pound of the exact weight. Railway scales are considered good if they come within fifty pounds. All the large ordnance manufactured for the navy is weighed upon this machine, which is some ten years old. The scales look like ordinary hay scales. The delicate mechanism ts invisible, the most intricate parts being in a broad pit below the ground. The platform is forty-eight feet long and twelve feet wide. Beneath the powerful machinery is a cement base laid upon long piles. A solid base being one of the prime requisites of a powerful weighing machine, it was found necessary to use a pile driver to secure a stable foundation. The machine is regarded as the finest of its kind in the world and is a splendid achievement of American ingenuity. In order to show the accuracy of the scales an official picked up half a brick and tossed it upon the platform. He then consulted a long brass lever and found that the brick weighed just one pound. The capacity of the scales is 150 tons. Two twelve-inch guns lying on a forty-eight foot car truck can be weighed on the machine without taxing its capacity.—Washington Star. “I Trust You.” “I owe my salvation to three words you spoke,” he wrote. “When all the world was against me you said, ‘I trust you.’ ” If every boy or girl who has made mistakes and gone astray could have such a friend a great many of them would return to a normal life. The feeling that somebody believes in us, trusts us, no matter what others believe or say, touches the heart. Criminals are sometimes totally reformed through the consciousness that somebody still believes in them, no matter how low they may have fallen. Could we realize how much this trust and confidence would do for a man when everything else has failed we should be more generous of our confidence in our fellows—Success Magazine. No Decoration Required. It was Mr. Hobart’s first experience L with waffles, and be liked the taste of them. When he had been served twice he called the waiter to him and spoke confidentially. “I’m from Pokeville,” he said, “and we’re plain folks there. Don’t care much for style, but we know good food when we get it. I want another plate- j ful o’ those cakes, but you tell the cook she needn't stop to put that fancy printing on ’em; just send ’em along plain.”—Youth's Companion. Terrible Fate. There is something which will ap peal to every American in the horror of a fate invoked upon Henry James, Sr., by his son, the novelist, and recorded in the letters of E. L. Godkin. The young man had been worsted in argument and exclaimed: I “Then may your mashed potatoes always have lumps in them!”—Youth’s Companion. Just as Fresh. Mrs. Newwed—Are these eggs as fresh as the ones I got from you last week? The Grocer—Oh, yes’m! Some of the same lot ma’am. I’ve been keeping ’em for you.—Pick-Me-Up. Old age Is, as it were, the altar of ills. We may see them all taking refuge in it.—Marcus Aurelius. ... I

REVIVAL SERVICES Will Begin at the United Brethren Church Next Sunday Evening. SERIES OF SERMONS Will Lead up to a Rounded and Completed Christian Life. There will be preaching ait Union Chapel U. B. church on Sunday morning immediately after Sunday school. L. A. Stangle, Pastor. ' < Revival meeting services will begin at the U. B. church on Sunday evening. There will be no services on Saturday evenings. On all other evenings except Sunday the song service will begin at 7:15 p. m. We have no other object than to preach the plain gospel, edify and quicken the spiritual lives of Christians and, by the help of Almighty God endeavor to cause the unsaved to see the error of their ways and turn to Christ, which means a life of peace, faith and joy. The sermons will be serial, leading up to a rounded and completed Christian life, so we invite you to attend the first service and each succeeding one and keep in touch with each unfolding link. We would like to continue the meeting for three weeks. Please plan to give that much time to the work of God. the most important work in which man can engage. L. A. STANGLE. Over at Noblesville the city counc.il has passed an ordinance making it a misdemeanor punishable by a fine for any one to plant a silver leaf poplar or North Carolina poplar tree within the city limits. The ordinance also provides that all trees of this kind now growing either on public or private property shall be removed within five years. If they are not cut down in that time the city engineer is | authorized to remove them and re- | quire the property owner to pay for the wo k. The reason for this action is because these trees shed their leaves continually during the summer and clog sewers. J. B. Corson, who lives three miles northwest of Monroe, Ind., has a herd of deer. Last week one of the bucks escaped from the park, and Monday of this week a party of a dozen or more local nimrods brought his deership to bay on the George Baumgardner farm just north of Willshire. The deer had been shot atand missed by a hundred sharpshooters, but it remained for Burch Baumgartner to fir e the shot that ended his earthly career. The remains of the animal were apportioned among the hunters. Will Moser taking the hide, Burch Baumgartner taking the head, and each of the party a haunch of venison. Later in the day the owner of the deer came along and requested that the hide and head be given him, which was done. —Willshire Herald.
