The various Decatur students who are attending the different colleges, are expected home in a few days to spend the holidays. Owing to the fact that so many of 'the members of she Elks minstrels have other engagements for this evening, there will be no rehearsal until Wednesday evening and every member of the company is expected to govern themselves accordingly. Remember, at the usual hour Wednesday. This evening at the close of the seven o’clock service the forty hours devotion at the St. Marys Catholic church will cease. All of the services have been largely attended and the speaker they have with them is one of no mean ability. The regular services, however, are being conducted by Father Wilken. A large crowd attended the Pictorlum last evennig and were royally entertained by two good shows. The light and pictures were the best ever shown in Decatur and Mr. Stonebumer is to be congratulated upon his success. From this time on he will put on a new show every evening and the public is thus promised something new every day. The public schools at the expiration of this week will close down for a two weeks’ vacation and the scholars will thus be permitted to enjoy the same to the limit. On Friday afternoon exercises will be held in every room and these the public is cordiallyinvited to attend. The first four months of school have passed swiftly by and much good work has been done in that time. The council will meet in regular session this evening, this being the last meeting of this year and much business will be tranacted and finished. Several sewer matters will be acted upon and completed and objections will at this time be heard to the assessment on the Seventh street improvement. Taking everything into consideration it should be a very interesting session.

It is whispered about town that a very prominent young couple will be married during the holidays. The groom is a relative of “Ginger” Gass but he refuses to “cough up” who the parties are, hence we will wait patiently until it happens. The new car at the interurban barns in the north part of the city that is being constructed for the special use of the Decatur Packing company, is fast nearing completion, and will be ready for use by the fifteenth of January, The car is now being and lettered and the only thing that is needed now to complete the same are the draw bars. On Saturday evening of this week at six o’clock the glove factory that employs something in the neighborhood of a hundred girls, will close for two weeks, during the holidays, thus permitting the girls to visit among their friends. Mr. 'Waring, the manager, appreciates the manner in which the girls have worked during the past year and as a reward he now presents them with this vacation. The big black dog owned by Ed Johnson mysteriously departed this life last evening and now lays in his last resting place along the river. The dog was a big full blooded Newfoundland animal and was highly prized by Mr. Johnson. How the animal came to its death is a mystery and Mr. Johnson is at a loss to understand why any one would desire to kill his dog as it was perfectly harmless.
