All are welcome at any time, but this week is set apart as visiting week.

By mutual agreement the case of David Liby against the C. & E. railroad was continued yesterday by Squire Smith until some future date, as neither side was ready for trial. The piston rod at the power house broke this morning and as a result the cars on the interurban were delayed one hour. The first car leaving at eight o’clock instead of seven.

Cromer, of Muncie, was In Blufftoil Sunday afternoon and made some social calls on Postmaster Spivey and others.

Muncie authorities have just discovered that Tobe Gaddis, the white cap slayer and the lover of Ruth Emenheiser, is living in Bluffton. Gaddis is wanted' at Muncie on a number of minor charges, one of them for larceny. It is alleged that he stole skirts from the home of Mrs. Emenheiser, mother of the young girl whom he wishes to wed. According to the Muncie Star he will probably be arrested: and taken back to that place for the trial.

He returned home at noon. Another meeting of the new law school was held last night in C. L. Walter’s law office and it was most interesting. Mr. Walters has a goodly number of students to begin with and it is safe to say that he will have a large class soon. Deputy Treasurer Herbert Lachot returned from Bluffton this morning, where he went Saturday to attend to business of a pressing nature. He plays a return engagement Thursday. We promised not to mention anything about him being sleepy today, so we won't. It is rumored from reliable circles that a petition will be presented to the council in the near future to have the alley running north and south past the postoffice bricked during the coming summer. This alley is possibly used more than any other in the city and is sadiy in need of repairing. Street Comm ssioner Stults is busily engaged at present with a force of men in cleaning out the Krick sewer on Thirteenth street. The sewer is in an awful bad shape, being entirely closed in some places with sediment and roots, which caused the water to back up in cellars. AJ'ith the Improve ment being made the water can now easily be carried away. Mayor Coffee is at present busily engaged in compiling a statement for Mary Stubbs, of Indianapolis, the state statiscian, a record of all cases tried before him during the year 1907. This is no small task and the mayor will be kept busy for several days complying with this woman's request. The blank requires many new answers over the old law. With the sudden change in temperature this morning the ice man is wearing a frown that won’t come off. To please these men the weather man! should give us zero weather for just ! about two weeks, or until they get in their year’s supply, and' you would see some very happy men. However, the chances are good that they will yet be favored as last year they did . not secure their ice until February.

Frank Lose, son of John Lose, the barber, is at the present time suffering with twenty-five boils that have broken out on all parts of his body. The young man is forced to remain at home and is unable to attend to his usual duties at school. A number ot our citizens visited the public schools today and looked over the work that is being carried on at that busy place. This is an excellent plan and should be encouraged to a yet greater extent and every citizen in Decatur urged to pay these various institutions a visit. A number of people from the south part of the county arrived in our city today and took a special car to Fort Wayne. Their mission seemed to be a secret as no information could be secured from any one of the party. However, from appearances, it would look like interurban business.

The dlrecors of the Decatur Packing company will hold their regular monthly meeting tonight and business of importance will be transacted. These meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month and most successful sessions are had. The Decatur Packing company continues to do a thriving business and there is a large demand for their output. The catamount on exhibit in the D. M. Hensley show window is attracting considerable attention and practically every one who passes stops and looks at the same. Mr. Hensley again has his display window filled with new specimens, which are very attractive. He is always on the lookout for something new and should you have anything in this line notify him and he will be after it. City Civil Engineer Vogt who for the past ten days has had charge of the assessment roll on the Lenhart sewer with the instructions to look the land over and make any changes in the same he saw fit, filed the same last evening with the clerk without a change being made. This assessment will no doubt be confirmed at the next meeting arid 'the same ordered certified to the treasurer for collection. The horses for the big sale to be held Friday at the sale stables on First street are arriving daily and at the present time something like sixty head are there, and being groomed for the coming event.

Farmers, this is the chance of a lifetime to purchase what horses you need. Frank Runyon and Dan Lanigan, of Bluffton, who were in our city Monday afternoon looking over the base ball situation, left last evening for Huntington. where they will endeavor to I interest several parties at that place. The men are confident that the league can be formed without Richmond and Jessup, and are working with that one aim in view. The members of the new association will meet Thursday to organize. What the fans of this city will do cannot be stated at this time. A fair sizd crowd the production of the Little Detective at the Bosse opera house and from all reports those who attended were well repaid for the time spent. The play was in itself fair and the actors and actresses all carried their parts out to the perfect satisfaction of the alidience. The scenic effects w< re beautiful which added much to the performance. The company should have had a much larger audience than on last evening and it is doubtful if they made expenses.

All j persons knowing themselves indebted to Mrs. F.etzer are requested to settle same at once. i An experienced teacher says the I pupils who have access to newspapers at home, when compared with those who do not, are better readers, better speller's, better grammarians, better punctuators, read more understandingly and obtain a practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires others, the newspaper is decidedly an important factor in modern life. This will not be disputed by anyone who has taken the trouble to investigate. A new show will be introduced this j evening at the Pictorium, the first film I being “The Forester Made King,” i ‘‘Coke Industry,” and the second film “What is Home Without a Mother,” | and “Where is my Hair.” These films are new and up to date, having never been shown in this section of the country and the second film being exceptionally amusing. Mr. Stonebumer is putting on nothing but the best shows, and should be encouraged by your patronage. Five packed houses were in attendance last evening and were more than pleased with what they saw.
