The interior of the Fullenkamp store is undergoing a complete overhauling and the room is being beautifully decorated and when the improvement is completed this popular place of business will present a very neat appearance. Some people are scoffing the idea as to F. E. Smith finding gold in sand from the St. Marys river. The gold is on display at his office and any one desiring is at liberty to call at that place and examine this gold dust. This certainly should be sufficient proof. The big auto race from New York to Paris is attracting considerable attention, especially in Indiana. The cars passed through Kendallville late last night on their way to Chicago, and before getting into that city the farmers were compelled to come to the assistance of the American car and shovel away snow drifts. This materially aided the American driver and he was much encouraged by this act of patriotism. The Kelley Shaking grates, that are to be installed a (the city plant in the near future are on the ground and a representative of the factory is supposed to arrive at almost any day. These grates are to be installed on a sixty day trial and if they prove satisfactory in every respect the city will keep them, otherwise they are to be taken out at no expense to the city. From what is claimed of these grates, they are certainly a good thing. The Fort W’ayne bowlers who are contending at Fort W’ayne are doing ( exceptionally well. Kauffman and Saunders are now tenth in the two ( men eVent and stand in a fairway of . getting inside the money. While Kauffman and Toukel each bowled 603 in the single events and may also come in for a slice of the premiums offered. We don’t know of any one we would rather see win than Fort 1 W’ayne if Decatur can’t, as the bowlers of that city are perfect gentlemen. '

There was nothing much doing in police circles today other than the officials sitting around the fire talking over old times. From all reports the ice at Steele’s pond is something like seven inches thick and those ice men who have not filled their houses may yet be able to get nice ice. The Jacobs stock company which comes to Decatur with quite a reputation, opens up this evening at the Bosse opera house for a three days’ engagement. The company is a strong one and as they are playing at popular prices are entitled to packed houses. A new show will be introduced this evening at the Pictorium entitled’ "Sambo or the Footman” and "The Wonderful Mirror.” These films are extra fine and are deserving of your patronage. Mr. Stonebuner is making an extraordinary effort to amuse you and you should take advantage of the opportunity and see these excellent performances. Frank Kern, who for some time past has been representing the Watkins Medical company, has resigned his position with this company and accepted a position with the Metropolitan Insurance company as their local representative. Mr. Kern is a hustling young business man and the company has made no mistake in selecting him as their representative. Dora Marie Magley, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Magley, had the misfortune to lose one of her pretty curls yesterday the result of playing the the fire with a rubber hair comb. Miss Dora’s hair was a mass of flames when the same was discovered by her mother and that she was not seriously burned is a mystery to all who know anything concerning the circumstances. Since the falling of the heavy snow the boys have taken a special delight in hurling snow balls at one another, and sometimes at other people who are passing by. A certain young fellow- on last evening took the liberty to hurl one of these balls at James N. Fristoe, which struck him in the ear. James let out an awful roar and may yet cause the young man some trouble, as he knows him quite well. The Bluffton Banner said President Gamble, of the Indiana Ohio base ball league, was down to Delphos. O„ a couple of days ago, urging the citizens of that place to secure a ball term and enter the league he is promoting. Never in history has Delphos supported a ball team and it is needless to state that the offer of Mr. Gamble received a turn down. There are now just two cities in Gamble’s and Jessup’s league—Van Wert and Richmond.

You hear some talk these days about economy; maybe you’re being economical yourself. It’s a good thing; we believe in it; but it’s best to be clear as to what economy is. Economy isn’t buying cheap stuff because it’s low priced; nor paying too much for good stuff because it’s good. Real economy is measured by comparing what you get with what it costs; a question of proportion not price. That’s why you ought to buy our Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes; they’re all wool; perfectly tailored; correct in style. You get belter value and bigger returns for your money in these goods than in any other. Holthouse, Schulte & Co. Good Clothes Sellers for Men and Boys

Eamst Maurer is a Fort Wayne business caller. Mrs. Lewis Clines, of Stop 20, was shopping here today. Miss Louise Getting, of Stop 20. was in the city shopping today. That dread ailment “grippe” seems prevalent again, due to the changeable weather, and several serious cases have been reported. Mrs. Earl Peters, who for several days has been the guest of her parents at Waterloo, has gone to Reading, Michigan for a short visit before returning home. A report from the bedside of Levi Nelson late this afternoon is to the effect that he is very low. His death is expected momentarily. All the relatives have been notified of the seriousness of his case. A marked increase in business has been noted by the merchants of our city, and the business of the past month compares with, if not excells, that of one year ago. This fact is only a verification of the absurdity of the so-called panic. With weather conditions favorable, contractors Myers and Davis will soon begin work on the construction of the foundations for the Ward Fence buildings. The major part of the material is here for this construction and these gentlemen will be in a position to begin work soon. Ed S. Walmer yesterday purchased from Lee Kapp the business building on west Market street, occupied at present by the Charles Studabaker grocery and the Beitler flats, the deal giving the new- owner immediate possession. The purchase price was SB,000, and the transaction was made through the Hale & Markley agency. —Bluffton Banner. Mrs. C. Vogt who some time ago opened her parlor of burned wood and hand-painted chinaware to the public, has announced that she will have an opening next Wednesday and Thursday. On these days Mrs. Vogt will sell valuable articles and it will well pay any one who desires goods of this nature to call and look over the display. Remember the time, next Wednesday and Thursday.
