The little snow that fell last night made this a good day for hunting, and local sportsmen could be seen going in all directions armed to the teeth for the wily rabbit. Hunting in this line this fall has been excel- ] lent, as the rabbit has been plentiful i and practically every hunter has had 1 more or less good fortune.

This store has a reputation for seffliling the best rubbers. That’s the reason we sell so many. THE BETTER THE GRADE THE BETTER THE TRADE

The Elks and K. of C. teams are scheduled to meet this evening at the Klondyke alleys and as the boys are evenly matched a red hot contest is r assurred. The race for the city chamr pionship promises to be interesting throughout. * Examinations in th e various branches started today at the public schools and as a rsult many of the 1 students were out at a much earlier 1 hour than usual. This is a test ex- '• amination of the work done during t the past three months and it is provy Inga hard task for some of the stut dents and requires much reviewing. A new show will be introduced this ® evening at the Pictorium, we being un- " able at this time to give the names r of the films. Mr. Stoneburner is putting on two new shows every night, o and that the same is a success can be y vouched for by he enormous crowds e that attend. That the films this evening will be up to the standard goes g without any argument. 8 There wer e no games played in the s DeWitt smoke house tournament yesterday and as a result no changes n were made in the percentage column. Several of the contestants hav e been a out of the city, but as they are now home the regular scheduled games g will be played as fast as possible. But f- very few games remain to be played i- yet, before a champion can be announced. 5- The city engineer and street and a sewer committee to whom was rey ferred the assessment rolls on the d Lenhart and Roop sewers, are busily engaged in making numerous changes 1- in * the same and will be ready to reit port back at the next meeting. Upon d examination it was found necessary it to assess some who were not assessed and to other instances the assessments „ were greatly reduced.

Elmer Johnson informed us last evening that he had practically secured his car of horses to ship to Pittsburg Friday, where he will conduct a special sale th e following week. The horse market in the east has opened up to a very noticeable degree, and the old time prices that once prevailed are coming back into style Mr. Johnson has an exceilnt load purchased, and should have a fine sale. The market in hogs at present Is in very bad straits and from all appearances does not seem to want to raise to any degree. The local stock men do not want to go into the buying game while the stock is quoted so low in the east and as a consequence there is nothing much doing in this line in and around Decatur. However, there is one satisfaction that being that the price cannot keep this way always. Th 6 machinery for the deep well pump at the water works plant has been connected up and is now in working shape. The well was recently completed and when the first connections were made it was found that the sucker rods were too short, hence the pump did not throw the right kind of a stream of water. A new rod was secured and the outfit, is now working to the perfect satisfaction of all concerned. Carl Fausnot, who Was arrested Tuesday night on a charge of public intoxication, is still in a serious condition and this morning was too sick and' weak to be brought before the mayor. Flausnot ha® been on itjiis spree for some time. ( and it now seems as though the same was react ing. As soon as he is in condition, he will be brought before the mayor and permitted to answer to the charge that is now hanging over his head.

Beaston, of Montpelier, passed through the city to Fort Wayne this evening. It seems that the grip has a good grip on many of the peopled of our city at presnt. B. B. Teeple, of Van Wert. Ohio, returned to his home after being here on business. L. A. Holthouse, who has been ill j for some time with th© lagrippe, is • again able to be up and around. The Coppock Automobile factory is running merrily along and much is being accomplished in the manufacture of tools to no used later. Mr. and Mrs. James McAlhoney, of Van Wert, who for several days have been guests of relatives in the city, returned to their home today. John Niblick is again able to resume his duties at the Niblick dry goods store after an absence of several days suffering from an attack of the grip. From the number of wagon loads of tilg that are at present being hauled from the Krick. Tyndall and com-1 pany’s mills, it would seem as though the farmers surrounding Decatur were taking advantage of the mild winter j weather ar|d wette improving their' farms in the way of putting in new drains. At least ten load have been hauled every day from these mills for the past two weeks. It is possible that the special car now under completion at the interurban barns for the Decatur Packing company will be put into practical use by the first of next week. The car is almost completed and the addition of a few pieces of casting from the Westinghouse people will put the car into running order and use. This car will be used exclusively for the shipping of meat for this company. From the present outlook, Bluffton who has been figuring upon getting into the Indiana Ohio league this season, may be left out in the cold. The latest report is that the tans of that city must raise a hundred dollars between now and January 20th, which must be posted at Indianapolis as a guarantee that they will finish the season. From all reports the fans who have th« ready money are not taking very kindly to the situation. It now seems sure that Decatur will not be in the league.

Ballet Sheee. Ballet shoes fit like a stocking. They are of leather, with a thin leather sole about an inch wide and with the uppers sewed so that they come under the foot. The ballet dancer wants no rubber heels, Instep arch supports nor any other of the foot supporting or reforming devices which are commonly used by ordinary mortals. The toe dancer desires a hard box toe on her ballet shoes, but the ordinary dancer seeks only shoes that will give perfect freedom of movement of the joints and muscles of the feet It is a rule of good dancers, a shoe man of experience says, to wear shoes that will allow for space between the toes. It is a point of good fit that ail persons should heed, he says. High heels are put on to stage shoes for effect, not to promote good dancing. Many stage shoes are made with short fore parts and high heels to make the feet look smaller and th» person taller.—Boston Globe. A Doubtful Assertion. Browne—They say that drowning men catch at straws. Towne—Yes, but I doubt it. I’ve seen a number of men drown, and those of them who bad any preference at all seemed in favor of a plank. In fact, I do not now recall ever having been asked for a straw by a gentleman who was drowning.—New York Journal. Extravagant. Kind Lady-If I give you this penny what will you do with it?
