France on Monroe street, and a good attendance is asked by the members. Another interesting performance was given at the Grand theater last evening. Miss Bertha Nicodemus, the new pianist, making a decided hit with the audiences by her clever playing. The films were fine and appealed to all. Elias G. Mewitt, one of the very oldest of Huntington business men, died Sunday afternoon. He was a hardware and stove merchant, starting in business at Huntington in 1866, and retired from active business on Jan. 1, last. The elevator in the court house at Huntington was wrecked in a drop of two stories Monday because it was too heavily Poaded. Sixteen passengers were in the car, tested to carry a weight of 2,000 pounds, but none of tlfem were seriously injured. Lon Ozley, who was stricken with partial paralysis two weeks ago, manages now to get up town almost every day but he presents a pitiful appearance.

Democrat will do well to ncte the announcements of the merchants in this issue. They have bargains for the people. Rev, Peet of the Concord Evangelical Lutheran church, preached a temperance sermon to his congregation on last Sunday evening. Ice has frozen on the St. Marys river, and if the weather keeps up "the present clip the boys will have another chance for a skating bee. Jesse Buhler, of Marion, is improving nicely from the serious illness characteristic to pneumonia and it is now thought that he will soon recover. Interest continues high in the Decatur public schools and the teachers and scholars are working in harmony to advance the interest of the public institutions. Mrs. William Mersman, who some time ago submitted to a surgical operation, Is recovering nicely and it will be but a question of time until she will be well. It is important that every member of the local camp of Modern Woodmen be present at tonight’s meeting, as business of vital importance will be transacted. Initiatory work will be conferred.

Frank Aurant, of Decatur, member of the Decatur Bricklayers’ Union there, was in the city last night meeting with the local bricklayers.

Foust, founder and president of the Columbia City National bank and for many years one of the most extensive and successful farmers in the county, has been the government crop correspondent for Whitley county for over forty years.

A large number of Democrat subscribers have secured one of the valuable premiums which are being given away to those who pay their subscription in advance and we still have a limited number to be given under the same conditions. A book, containing the synopsis of every Indiana law is certainly a valuable thing to have and inasmuch as it costs our readers nothing to secure one, they shouid come early and get one while they last. Mrs. Levi Beeler of Vera Cruz went to Scottsville, Michigan, this morning and will visit there with Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Witzman and family for a week or two. Mr. and Mrs. Witzman who formerly lived east of the city but sold and moved to Michigan writes tiiat they are very well satisfied with the county.

Deininger and Mrs. Charles Christen. When the report of the grand jury is made public it will be found that several druggists in Randolph county have been indicted, charged with the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors. Every druggist, with the possible exception of one, has been examined by the grand jury and have been made, it is said, to show their certificates, which, by a “rotten” law, passed by the last regular session of the Indiana legislature, gave them permission to sell whisky by the quart. But this gave them no right to violate the law even though the law was easy with them. —Winchester Herald. There are a number of men working la this vicinity with a clothing scheme, and although we are not familiar with the manner in which they are doing business, it is safe to predict that unless the residents of the county are aware they will enter into contracts which may embarrass them later. These men, we are told drive through the country and solicit the people for orders for clothing, taking their measure and in many instances get cash deposits with the order. Inasmuch as Decatur clothiers handle the very best on the market and guarantee every garment they put out it seems that the people cannot afford to pay their good money to people whom they do not know. It is not improbable that those who have placed orders will receive their goods C. O. D., and who knows whether or not they will be tailor made as promised or just common hand-me-downs. If they don’t fit or if the goods is not right there will be no one to go to and kick. It has been pi oven time and again that the home merchants are the ones to patronize.

Miss Letta Congleton .entertained the Pastime Club last evening at her home on Fifth street, where the evening was spent on fancy work as lusual. Delicious refreshments were served.

Hoffman has been extended and has accepted an invitation to speak at the banquet to be given by the Jackson club, of Indiana university, in honor of Dr. Robert J. Aley on the 3rd of March. There will be a number of other prominent speakers there at that time, all gathering to honor Dr. Aley, who will, on the 16th of that month, succeed Superintendent of Public Instruction Fassett A. Cotton. Dr. Aley is at present at the head of the mathematical department of the Bloomington school. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. R. F. Vantilburg, who formerly resided in this oity, was quite badly hurt at Portland. Mr. Vantilburg is the father of Mrs. John Reiter, of this city. Mr. Vantilburg was unloading freight and was between a car and a dray, and by the backing of the horses was (pushed violently against the freight car, and held there. Mrs. Reiter in a letter, received the information and left at once for Portland to be at the bedside. However, the fact that no bones were broken is cheering, and Mrs. Reiter hopes that there will be no serious internal injuries.

The Pastime Club, a jolly crowd of girls, will go to Fort Wayne tomor|row to witness “Madame Butterfly” at the Majestic. Tom Railing still has hopes of securing a berth on the Fort W’ayne Central League club and it is not improbable that Manager Hendricks will secure his release from the Springfield management. .Tom says his arm is better now than It has been for years, and if so he will make them Jump sideways wherever he does pitch.
