Entered at the postofflee at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mail matter, J. H. HELLER, Manager. When the appointment of a member f o’ the board of tax commissioners 1 came up to the governor he placated '

twenty odd applicants and gave the I plum to one that was not a candidate! for the place. This indicates that I the governor is likely to make a few' appointments of his own—just to see* how it goes. It is reported from Washington that the progressive Republican element in the United States senate has agreed upon Senator Cummins of lowa as its leader. If the report is well founded, it is cause for congrat- 1 ulation. Senator Cummins is a strong' man, well balanced, thoroughly in-' formed, earnest in seeking a reforma-' tion of the tariff, an able organizer ; and resourceful fighter. Unlike Sen- 1 ' ator LaFollette, he is thoroughly sin-1 cere, and not in the least a dema- ’ : gogue. He is progressive in aims, : but conservative in methods. More ; aggressive than his predecessor, he i i seems likely, from his force of char- . acter, to excel even ex-Senator Alli- , son as an influential member of the! senate. Having the respect and con-1 fidence of his colleagues, he will be ' an effective reformer. —South Bend Times. j j

IN HOTEL FIRE Jacob Tester Wires That He Escaped Without Injury LETTER TO FOLLOW Decatur Man in Blaze at Liberty Center, Ohio, this Morning Harvey Schroll. of the Schafer Hardware company received a telegram this morning from his father-in-law, Jacob Tester of this city, who has been superintending the construction of a mill at Liberty Center, Ohio, for several weeks, stating that the hotel at that place where Mr. Tester has been living was completely destroyed by fire at three o’clock this morning. Mr. Tester states that he escaped without injury, and from the tone of his message it is quite probable that all the guests were not so lucky. Mr. Tester is employed by the A.

The town mentioned is located near Napoleon, Ohio, and is a town of about 1,600 inhabitants, the hotel destroyed being the only one there. o — — — PALACELOSETHREE Berling's Five Cinched Title to First Place Last Evening IN BOWLING CONTEST Won a Game by One Pin and Another by Six Pins LEAGUE STANDING.
