Decatur's new city hall looks mighty good, and we thus early extend our congratulations to the city fathers for their enterprise and wise management of the corporate interests of the best little city on the map. Every arrangement of the building not alone is a credit to the city, but the architect, Mr. Hoffman, as well. Representative Morris Sheppard of Texas is developing as rapidly as any young man in congress as an orator. Out of the regular order the other day he made rather a long speech on the tariff. At first members did not seem inclined to listen to any such talk as this, for they realize that during the coming extra session they will be surfeited with argument, but the Texan got their attention at. the start and held a large audience at the close. One of his strong points is that he has no manuscripts or notes before him,and that always tells in a body like the house.

During the civil war when General Ben Butler had possession of the city of New Orleans he seized about $225,000 of the funds of one of the national banks there, and as it was all in good money, being coin, he turned it into tbe United States treasury. It has been there ever since, but in a few days it will be restored to its owners, as congress has passed and the president has signed a bill to that effect. All these years efforts have been made to adjust the matter. The money has simply been lying idle in the treasury. Ex-Congressman Phil Thompson of Kentucky, engineered the matter through congress for the bank, and he get a pretty snug fee for his trouble. HON. E. G. HOFFMAN WAS HERE # He Discussed the Recent Senatorial Campaign and Election. Hon. E. G. Hoffman, of Fort Wayne, was in the city for a short time this morning, business of an important character being the drawing card. Ho spoke of the recent senatorial fight in the most pleasing way, and s; id that he came out of it clean, sweet smelling and happy. He is justly proud of the little fightjing band that stayed with him through thick and thin, and that he would not live long enough to forget their loyalty and good wishes. He is now busy in the practice of law and will eideavor to forget politics for the time being. o The Christian church congregation at Buena Vista is making arrangements for the building of a new cement block church, which will be started within a short time. The church will be one of the best in that section of the country, and while not sn stately as some of the city churches, it wiil be large enough io accommodate the congregation and its friends.

SCHOOL NOTES. Monday morning began the second term of school. It hardly seems possible that four and one-haif months of the school year have elapsed. Every scholar came with the determination to do better work than they did in the previous term. Carl Smith, who has been in Petoskey, Mich., for about two years, was an addition U the sophomore class Monday morning. The noble class of Juniors lost two of their best members, which is lamented by all —Harold V, ilcox and Clyde Baumgratner. In all probability the class can get along without them. The reports will be handed out Thursday. Many students will be happy, many will not. If, dear students, you don't get the grade you think you should have, don't blame the teacher for it, it is your fault. Monday morning the Hon. Judge Merryman gave a twenty minute speech in chape! before the assembly room in which were the eighth grade high school and the faculty. It was one of the best speeches ever given before the students and was well appreciated. Frank—“ Miss Smith, may I please speak to Ben?" Miss Smith —“Frank, do you always ask permission when you want to speak to some one?” Frank—'“Yes, if that one sits on the other side of the room.”

A glee* club is being organized in the high schol by the music teacher, Miss Schrock. This will be the first club that has been in the high school for many years. It is composed of manay talented singers. This ciub should be encouraged as it means much to any community. This is a club in which ladies are not included. Those who are eligible are J. Bruce Patterson, Frank J. Mills, Earl J. Colter, Troy Babcock, Free Frisinger, Lawrence Biggs, Sherman Berry, Frank DeVoss, H. J. Wisehaupt, Don J. Burk, Francis J. Gast, Tracey J. Nelson, Chas. Brodbeck, Carl Smith, Dorsey Burkhead.

The Shillalah. The shillalah owes its name to the fact that the finest specimens thereof used to be grown in the pleasant groves of trees that formerly flourished In the barony of Shillalagh, In County Wicklow. The best shillalah must he a root sprung sapling, for one taken from the brunches of a full grown tree would lack the necessary toughness. Being trimmed and “brought to hand," the young stick undergoes preparatory discipline by being placed In the chimney to season, thus becoming early acclimatized to the hot work in store for 1L This part of the curriculum finished, it is rubbed until completely saturated with oil, after which it Is securely wrapped In a stout sheet of brown paper and burled In a convenient hotbed. At this stage of Its development it is an object of unceasing watchfulness on the part of Its proprietor, who to forestall any detrimental warp in the object of his care visits It dally, correct lag any youthful tendency to depart from a straight line and ultimately securing as straight a bit of timber as heart could desire.—New York Tribune.

Hot Scotch. The young wife dipped the ladle Into the porridge and smiled inquiringly at the overnight guest “Will you have some hot Scotch, Mr. Dash?” she asked. Dash laughed. “Hot Scotch? Where Is it?” said he. “Why, here, of course,” said the young wife In a perplexed tone. "Didn’t you know that oatmeal Is called hot Scotch?” “Er—l”— Dash stammered, and thee the young husband caught his eye, and he was silent. “I didn't know it myself till last year." she explained. “I heard George Inviting his cousin over the telephone to meet him at the office and have a hot Scotch. 1 didn’t know what hot Scotch was till you told me, did I, George?” George, very red, answered huskily: “No. my dear.” Laughing at her own ignorance, the lady proceeded to serve the thick, pale hot Scotch.—New Orleans Times-Dem-ocraL

Vicissitudes of a Picture. The vicissitudes of da Vinci's picture, “Last Supper,” reminds a correspondent of the‘strange experiences of Holbein's “Field of the Cloth of Gold,” which may be seen any day at Hampton Court palace. After the downfall of Charles 1., Cromwell in order to raise funds proposed the sale of certain pictures, this among the number. The bargain was already made, but when the would be purchaser came to inspect Holbein’s masterpiece he discovered that the head of Henry VIII. had been cut from the canvas. He naturally withdrew his offer, and the picture was preserved to the nation. On the restoration a nobleman confessed to having comI mitted the theft for love of art and hia country, and he returned the missing head, which now occupies its original position in the canvas. The circle made by the knife is still plainly visible.—London Chronicle.

WHO IS BEHIND THE SUIT? An Air of Mystery Surrounds Libel Suits. Washington, Jan. 20—The question of whether or not the federal government or individuals or both, instituted the proceedings for libel in connection with the Panama canal purchase, still remains a mystery, In so far the general public is concerned. So completely have the tracks in the complaint been covered that not the slightest Intimation has been given which would clear up this Important and much discussed point. The federal grand jury has today continued its investigation into the matter and a number of witnesses were examined. Principal among*-these were Messrs .Douglas Robinson, brother-in-law of President Roosevelt, and Charles P. Taft, brother of the pres-ident-elect, both of whom .Tefused to say whether they appeared as plaintiffs. All of the Washington correspondents who were cited to appear gave information establishing their connection with either the New York World or the Indianapolis News, while several newsdealers and a newsboy testified to haying sold the paper to the general public.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE Decatur People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney Disease. The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation ct scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropsy, Bright’s disease or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.

You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Decatur proof: Daniel Weldey, retired farmer. S. First street, Decatur, Ind., says: “I have (had Jhrd .kidney trouble (for years and at my advanced age, I considered a cure impossible.* However, I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills procured from the Holthouse Drug Co. ,and from the results received, I consider them a remedy worthy of endorsement.” For sale by all dealers.
