The reason our shoes fit so perfectly even after months of hard service is just this. Common shoes are made of cheap material by cheap la’ bor; ours are made of the very best material and by high grade workmanship. Evry shoe we put out is of guaranteed t obe worth the money paid for it. Try a pair and be convinced.

Wesley Drummond, of Marion, who has been the guest of John Drummond for some time, returned to his home this morning. , There will be a meeting of the Royal Arch Masons this evening at the usual hour and all members are requested to be present. Misses Nettie Smith and Letta Long attended the show at the Majestic theater in Fort Wayne last night and returned on the late car. The different factories of our city are moving merrily along and are accomplishing much in making ready for the demand for their output. L. L. Reppert, of Monroe, returned home this noon after attending his sister’s, Mrs. T. Miller, funeral, who died last Sunday at Spencerville. Ohio. David Hunsicker conductor on ,ae interurban line, has been confined to his home for some time passed suffering from an attack of lagrippe and’ has been unable to assume his duties on the line. He is, however, improved. From present indications the ice man will yet have his turn, as the weather is again in his favor. Several weeks of cold weather is looked for and there will be no surprise if the theremometer falls far below zero. During the absence of F. E. Smith, the gunsmith, who left yesterday for Robison, 111-, to look after oil interests, his business will be loked after by Squire Smith, who will do all repairing. The squire is quite handy in this line and is able to do practically anything that is desired. Ed Moses went to Berne this morning to attend the farmers' institute that was held at that place.

The weather man certainly made a bum guess for today, as he stated on Wednesday that it would be fair Thursday. It is fair, but it is certainly much colder than on Wednesday. However, it is possible that we have no kick coming as we have practically enjoyed summer so far all winter, and it is now' time to commence to think about the ice man. The Adams county poultry men who 1 are attending the Fort Wayne show, say that it is one of the largest shows ever held in Indiana. There are thou- ■ sands of entries and every class and I variety are represented and the fight for honors is going to be a warm one. The boys who have their birds on ex- > hibit from this county fully expect to - win their share of the honors. ’ Frank Cotton, of Bluffton, is in our city and is at present engaged ■ at the Fashion stables as hostler. Cot--5 ton says he is on his good behavior ■ and does no care for any more experiences like he has recently passed ; through. He has stopped drinking • and is conduct’ g himself in every 1 respect like a thorough gentleman. Keep up the clip. Cotton, and everyr body will be for you.

There was nothing doing in the DeWitt smoke house tournament yesterday, those having games to play being unable to report. But six games remain yet in the contest, these being among the leaders and an effort will be made to play the same off in a few days. Mr. Elzey, who is managing this event, desires very much to close the series this week and will push the contestants to play their games. The represenative of the Kelley Shaking Grate company, who will have an opportunity of demonstrating the ability of his goods at the city plant, expects to have his material shipped in at the earliest possible time and will give a test of sixy days or more to the satisfaction of the city dads. If the grates do one third of what is claimed for them the city will make a great move in purchasing the same as they will pay their own way in the saving of fuel. N. A. Loch informs us that bis band Is coming along in marvelous style and that the boys are picking up the music in excellent shape. He fully expects to have the boys on the street In the spring and the citizens of Decatur may by that time fully expect to hear some first class music. The band is composed of fifteen pieces all of whom have more or less talent for music. Mr. Loch is to be congratulated upon his move.

Mrs. arah Wilder is much better today. Jesse Heim will attend the show at the Majestic this evening. Miss Nellie Grote of thi, city, is visiting friends at Fort Wayne. U. H. Warweg, of California, passed through the city enroute to Indianap oils on business. Abe Boegley. es Berne, was in our city yesterday soliciting orders for his new county map. Mr. Boegley has a fine map and one that should bring the orders as soon as shown. The map is sold in either paper or i cloth and is highly colored and is I guaranteed to be perfect in every re- , spect. Mr. Boegley put in a lot of i work on this map and is confident that I it will fill every requirement asked of it. Ike Rcbison, a well known character who had his horse taken up by the marshal Saturday evening for permitting the same to stand out in the cold for hours, without feed or attention, on yesterday redeemed the animal paying the livery stable man the sum of four dollars for a feed bill. This w’as a little bit of extravagance on the part of Mr. Robison and he says it will not. occur again. Ike is nowresiding near Monmouth. With Kling as president of the In-diana-Ohio league, we predict an early downfall for the same. Kling all of last year was for Richmond and Jessup, and will no doubt line up the same this year. For the best interest of the league and all concerned it would be a wise move for the league to select Frank Runyan, of Bluffton, for this place. Frank is a hustler and although a native of Bluffton, is built upon the square deal basis and all teams would be treated alike.

Nick Tonnellier is the loser the value of a horse the result of one of the interurban cars hitting the brute near the A. J. Smith farm north of the city. The animal in some manner escaped from the barn and wandered along the interurban right of way until one of the cars struck it, killing the animal instantly. The horse was not the most valuable one on earth, still Nick feels the loss very keenly, as he could have put the animal to good use during th‘e coming summer. A new show' will be introduced this evening at the Pictorium entitled “The Clown's Love Story,” "A Night in Dreamland," and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.” These films are new to this section of the state and are all beautiful. The last film is a hand colored one and is a reproduction of that great play that had such a wonderful run in Chicago during the World’s Fair. This is a chance of a lifetime, as all other shows of this kind are charging ten cents to see it but Mr. Stoneburner will adhere strictly to his old plan. Don’ miss this treat this evening. A minister in giving up his charge once said: Brethren, I have decided to leave this field of labor. There are many reasons for this. In the first place you do not love me, for you have not paid me a cent on last year’s salary; you do not love each other, for there has not been a wedding in this parish for many months; God does not love you, for there has not been a funeral since I came here; you do not love God for you are doing nothing to promote his kingdom here on earth. I have decided to take the position of chaplain at the city jail and I have decided to preach my farewell sermon from the text: “I go to prepare a place for you.” The choir will now please sing, “Meet Me There.”

Tonight the Eagles will give ilieir leap year dance at their hall. Don’t miss it young people. Miss Dude Voglewede w'ent to Fort Wayne today to attend the show' at the Majestic theater this evening. Prof. W. S. Brown, head of the department of botany and horticulture at Winona Agricultural institute, has tendered’ his resignation, to take effect March 1. He will go to his farm at Olean, N. Y. The arrival of Pure Food Inspector Tucker caused something like a panic among Warsaw grocers, butchers and restaurant men who, in spite ot warnings. have persisted in following the old, unsanitary practices in handling their wares. Mr. Tucker stated that affidavits would be filed against the more flagrant violators of the laws. Treasurer Archbold informs us that not many of the resident property holders along Seventh street are taking advantage of signing the assessment roll and up to this time but few signatures have been secured. The time to do this will be up the ninth of February, then it will be a case ol pay in cash. The people all seem tc be perfectly satisfied with the street and no complaints are being heard.

Wayne Miller, who has been sick for several days, is reported as being some better today. The next attraction after "My Wife's Family” at the Bosse opera house this evening will be “The Little Detective.’ This is considered one of the strongest companies of its kind on the road and should be welcomed by a large crowd. The date is Monday. January 27th. Marshal Bohnke this morning had the misfortune to smash the little finger on his left hand while assisting the street commissioner in mending a scoop shovel. Mr. Bohnke was driving a nail when he missed the same and struck the nail on the little finger on his left hand. The injury is quite painful and Marshal Bohnke is bemoaning the tough luck that seems to be following him. Chris Vogt, who attended the meeting at Indianapolis Tuesday in relation to waterways and canals, says that he enjoyed the meeting ever so much, regardless of the fact that the delegates never once mentioned anything concerning the St. Marys river. Mr. Vogt says that most of the argument was confined to the Ohio river, which has caused so much trouble in the past. The meeting was very interesting and instructive.
