The Decatur party of K. of P. that went to Bluffton yesterday to attend the district convention arrived home at a late hour last night. The boys had an excellent trip and a fine time and were more pleased that they made the trip.

The Ward Fence company are running an advertisement in the Saturday Evening Post and others of the big magazines. It looks good.

Fred Hoffman hasreceived the contract to mend the roof at the water works plant and expects to start to work on the same in the near future. The damage to the roof was caused by taking out the old brick smoke stack. *

H. L. Center is installing a five horse ppwer motor in his ice cream plant 'in the south part of the city and this summer fully expects to manufacture ice cream by electrical power. The plant is being over hauled in many respects and will be put into first class shape for the coming summer. George Sheelcr, who resides fri the west part of the city, is suffering from inflammation in his right eye that <is causing considerable inconvenience to him. George caught cold and it settled in his eye causing the same to swell and inflame to a very bad degree until he was forced to put himself under the care and treatment of a physician. The weather man last night and this morning certainly threw over the cold liver as the thermometer this morning registered the coldest it has so far this winer. This is a very fair indication for the ice man who undoubtedly is praying for more than zero weather tljat he may reap his harvest so as to supply our wants this coming summer.

At last it has been fathomed who the woman in black is, who terrorized the people at the old cemetery a few nights ago.

Hi= wife took this plan of ascertaining facts about his whereabouts and actions. * There were no games played last evening in the DeWitt smoke house billiard tournament owing to the fact that several members who are taking part in this tournament are out of our city. It is possible that several games will be played this evening which will decide the winner or rather champion. The sport is attracting considerable attention and is getting very interesting. A new show will be shown again this evening at the Pictorium that promises to give more than perfect satisfaction. Mr. Stoneburner’s idea of putting on two new shows every evening is meeting with the approval of the public who are turning out strong every night to see something new. We are unable to give the name of the films for this evening as they arrived too late for publication, Fred Linn returned last evening from a business trip at Fort Wayne. While there he met Jinks France, who for a very brief period was. playing the leading role in the “Whirlwind” company until it went defunct. Jinks was headed for Chicago, where he informed Mr. Linn that he had' secured another position as an actor in a very leading company, and would try this strenuous life once again.

THE PSCTORIUM TOBIGKT Bird Nesting. Chinese Mistake. Crime In the Mountain. Indiana Rubber Man. SONG. "Montana.” J. S. STONEBURNER, Prop THE CORA LAWTON COMPANY. Big City Vaudeville Three Days Next Week. Speaking of Cora Lawton Mitchell's personality, the Bradford Star of Aug. i 25th said: "There is a genuine sweet! womanhood in Miss Mitchell which puts the actress in the bacKground in j the eyes of the public and keeps her! only a woman, true and pure and living up to her ideal. Probably her chief charm is the exquisite sympathy which seems to make each person who looks upon her beautiful, soulful eyes, her friend. She betrays none of the ii fWOF Cora Lawton Mitchell, as “Jean” in “A Woman's Revenge.” over-reaching for effects that cheapen an actress, but every word and action is artistic in its perfect simplicity. It Is this quality which has made her the idol of the public wherever she has appeared. She is so free from consciousness, so entirely lacking in egotism that she attributes the success of her plays very largely to her excellent supfort and to the cjiarm of the plots rather than to heaself. Miss Mitchell has another quality which en dedrs her tp the woman especially, she wears her gowns with the grace of a queen.”

John Be?nis, of Craigvllle, came' to the city on business.
