The old town clock stopped last night at ten minutes of nine, and as a consequence thereof fooled a number of people this morning. What caused this reliable old time piece to stop no one seems able to state. The interurban experienced courtderable trouble last evening and this morning in their regular running scheduled, and several of the cars missed their time by a large margin This was caused by the ice and sleet that formed on the line above cutting off the power to a certain extent. However, there is one consolation, all electric lines were treated exactly the same as our own.

Decatur was not visited by a very large crowd today, the weather conditions being very much against farmers coming to Decatur.

He had the distinction of leading one of the biggest political plrades ever held in Indiana. Judge Vaughn will petition the commissioners of Wells county to appropriate funds for the erection of a city and county hospital at Bluffton, and the city will be asked to donate either Washington or Jefferson park in Bluffton as a site for the institution.

Owing to the stormy weather the Pocahontas ladies have been forced to abandon their canvass for the sale of tickets for their Monday night performance. Tickets may be purchased at the Holthouse drug store, where they can be reserved Monday and the ladies will be glad to greet you there. The famous lady in black who was the sole topic a short time back, has not been seen recently and from all appearances seems to have taken a back seat. The weather undoubtedly must be the cause of her non-appear-ance and we predict that when it warms up there will be something doing in her line again. The weather man certainly hit the nail on the head with his report for today, as we are certainly being vis ited by the high winds and snow. Hicks predicted this kind of weather and the first day of February was rushed in in a manner that it will not soon be forgotten. The snow, sleet and rain that fell made walking practically a hardship. Alex Long, employed on the Clover Leaf as a brakeman, he being a member of Conductor William Ponder’s crew, was almost Instantly killed Friday morning at Linden, his foot catching in a frog and the train passing over him, he finding it impossible to liberate himself. The crew was not aware of his danger until it was too late to stop the train. Peterson. Bart France and Studabaker, the three men who were tied for second and third place In the DeWitt smoke house billiard tournament met yesterday afternoon and played their tie off and as a result Peterson secured second money and Studabaker third.

Resting on a beautiful couch amid - banks of flowers, the last tender remembrances of his many friends, Dr. , A. E. Springstead was seen for the , last time on earth today by those , with whom he was associated here.

He says that horses sold t on an average of considerable less f than they cost. The highest priced a team of horses went to Noah Webber ■ of Fort Wayne, who paid $4lO for two horses. —Bluffton News. a , Marshal Bohnke left today for Fort f Wayne, where he expects to pick up Thomas Covault, who is wanted here I in default of a fine assessed against , him some time ago for assault and a battery. Covault immediately after pleading guilty, stayed the docket and then left for parts unknown. Marshal 3 Bohnke a few days ago learned of his 8 whereabouts and went to Fort Wayne 1 today, where he will no doubt effect 1 an arrest. Thomas will be returned ’’ to Decatur if apprehended, and un- ‘ less he settles will have to lay it out with Sheriff Meyer. On next Monday and Tuesday J. B. Stoneburner desires to announce to ? the public that he will present that ’ great historical play “Ben Hur.” This is one of the beat and largest films on the market and owing to the additional expense in securing the same ' Mr. Stoneburner is compelled to charge ten cents for adults and five - cents for all children under twelve years. This picture should be seen by every man, woman and child in De- ■ catur, as it is the only one on the market, and in all probability will never be shown in and about Decatur again. The pictures will only be . shown on the above named days. The members of the Ben Hur lodge held their regular business session last evening. On account of the bad weather only a few’ of the members were faithful, so they decided to take the advantage and have an impromptu program. Harvey Harruff was the presiding officer nd he appointed Mrs. James Bain as organist, and the principal talk was given by William Teepie. Immediately following this came a mixed quartette, composed of the following people: Mrs. John Burke and Mrs. M. F. Hay, Messi-s. A. D. Artman and Adam Wise. It must be said those who missed this meeting did truly miss a splendid program as each one did extremely well.
