HELLER, Manager, Decatur hospitality is now directed toward the many visitors of the cloth who are coming to attend the Metho-’ dist district conference. It will be a great time for Methodism in Decatur, but. the lines of hispitality will not be permitted to be drawn with any one church or any one cla-s of our citizenship. Every one has a glad, hand which they extend arm's length to every stranger, and it is hardly necessary to add that all are welcome. The keys of the city—but it is hardly fair to talk of any irreverence. Let it suffice that all ate welcome, thrice welcome. The Wells county Democrats had a house warming Saturday in the organization of their county committee, at which time C. H. Plessinger was elected chairman and George L. Saunders. secretary. The meeting was characteristic of the many that are being held in Indiana this year, and which are a correct barometer of the victory that is coming. W. Lea Smith, county auditor, has been selected as chairman of the Jay county Democratic organization. He is a strong man, a good politician and will warm up the boys there to a fare-you well. OBITUARY. Mrs. Fannie Meyer was born May the 14th, 1826. In Ober Endingen, Switzerland. Here she received her

secular and religious education. In the year 1857 she accompanied her mother, her father having died some time before, to America. This sanui year she was united in marri ge to* . Mr. Jacob Meyer. This union was blessed with seven children five of ’ which proceeded her to eternity. With * her husband she came to Adams coun- * ty. and settled on a f’rro. where they 1 have since lived. Her husband died 1 about nine years ago. About five L weeks ago she took seriou ly ill with a complication of disease which soon brought about her demise. She pass ■ ed away on the evening of F b. 27th, 1908, having reached the goodly old age of 81 years. 9 month , 13 days. 1 There remain to mourn her loss two sons and their f’milies, a brother and a sister and many friends. “Oh. deem not that earth s crowning bliss Is found in joy alone; For sorrow, better though it be, • Hath blessings all its own; From lips divine, like healing bairn. To hearts oppressed and torn, This heavenly consolation fell. Blessed are they that mourn.” ■ —. —.—• “UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.” The fate of a new play is always anxiously awaited by every one con-| cerned in its production. For it is ■ a well known fact that the success | or failure of a play cann never be i positively determined until the public , has a chance to pronounce a verdict, i Many plays produced with high hopes I and often at great expense do not meet with popular success and are quickly shelved. When a play lives through six seasons and enters upon a seventh, with crowded bouses greeting It everywhere, there can be no doubt that it has effectually caught the fancy of the theater goers. Such a play is Lottie Blair Parker's uicturesque drama, “Under Southern Skies.” From its first presentation at the theater Republic tnow the Belasco theater), in New York City, the play has drawn large and delighted audiences. Time seems only to increase its popularity and each succeeding visit shows its drawing powers on the increase, testing the capacity of the theaters. Few plays of southern life have won such popularity as “Under Southern Skies” which will be the ; theatrical offering of Manager Bosse ’! at the Bosse opera house tonight. — o DEMOCRAT WANT ADS.

Mr. Lutz has long served as county attorney and as a matter of fact he is a mighty good one. | — The petition for the William Borger : ditch, with proof of notice was filed.

WANTS HER MONEY Mrs. Charles Hurley Demands Payment of Board Bill from Albert Baker SHE CLAIMS S4O Is the Amount Due and She Will Keep Furniture Until It is Paid An exciting time was experienced in Squire Smith's court this afternoon when Mrs. Charles Hurley, of Marshal street, and Albert Baker, whom she claims owes her S4O for, board clashed in a word combat. It seemed that the two parties were struggling for supremacy in placing their respective stories before the dealer of justice. However, the squire did not feel disposed to file the necessary papers before Prosecutor Heller returns from Indianapolis, and the matter was temporarily dropped. The cause of the proposed action is that after boarding at the home of Mrs. Hurley until his board bill aggregated about S4O, Mr. Baker attempted this morning to take what furniture and other household effects from the house. To this Mrs. Hurley objected and as a consequence she asks the court to restrain him from doing so until the board bill is paid. The dialogue indulged in by the parties in question at Squire Smith's office, while amusing, would mean much if some of the allegations can be substantiated and from appearances it will result in a legal battle. However, nothing will be done further until Prosecutor Heller returns.

She was a faithful member of the English Lutheran church at Concord.
