A half dozen attorneys appeared for the various claimants and the case was rather a complicated one. Judge Peterson rendered a finding that the personal property was insufficient to pay the debts and gave judgment as follows: First lien, for taxes, Adams county, S6O; second liens, Mary Snyder, $1,370, Jacob Puple, $866.93, Joseph Rich, $1,044.67. Other liens are Wells county taxes, -5.54; street imjrovement $45.81; Alex McChee, $684; Edward Euhle, $242.14. All the real estate described ordered sold at private sale, after giving proper legal no. tice. Andrew Gottschalk is the admin, istrator. The postoffice boys are coming in for their share of the hard work at this time as Uncle Sam’s store seems ' to be doing a thriving business. The mail matter today Is very heavy and , as a result the carriers are forced to I suffer. At this time of the year the ; boys are not allowed to ring in any substitutes and are compelled to do the work themselves. o ■ DISTRICT MEETING.

THE WHITE PLAGUE Claims Life of Mrs. Edward Gase. Well Known Young Woman. DIED THIS MORNING Had Been 11l a Year—Was Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bogner. Mrs. Edward Gase, aged twentyseven years died this morning at her home on the Eiting farm south of this city after an illness of a year’s duration. death resulting from consumption. Mrs. Gase was well known in (this city being a daughter of Mr. and i Mrs. John Bogner and her many I friends will be grieved to learn of i her demise. She was a member of the St. Marys Catholic and was an ardent and devoted worker in its behalf. She had been bedfast for the past several months and was fully aware of the fact that she could not get well, but as she stated many times, she was fully prepared to meet her maker. The funeral services will be held Monday morning at the St. Marys Catholic church at nine o’clock. Father Wilken officiating and interment will be made in the St. Josephs’ cemetery. She leaves a father, mother, husband and several brothers and sisters to mourn their loss. More Jessup’s Dope (Continued from Page 1.) Harry Hall, Marion; Clarence Jessup, Richmond and Frank Runyan, Bluffton. This committee will meet with representatives of each city at Indianapolis. Jan. 10. At that time the circuit will be selected and the managers required to put up a cash bond to guarantee good faith and the completion of the season. Prospects are that the quality of the sport offered will be equal to that of any minor league. Concerning the above dispatch we believe it only fair to state that Decatur, with the championship team and the highest salary list in the league, came as near breaking even as any in the league except possibly Richmond. While it has not been decided whether or not Decatur will join the league, you bet your last red cent that if she does she will have a topnotch team and will keep up her end of the expenses.
