Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as secopd-class mail matter, Win ', ■r.-jaa J. H. HELLER, Manager. Dispatches from London say that Whitelaw Reid, the American ambassador, intends to go out of office in a “blaze, of glory.” This is taken to mean a vulgar display of money in dinners, balls and other entertainments for the delectation of all the available “royalty” and “nobility.” It is also said that Edward White, American ambassador at Paris, wants to succeed Reid at London. White is practically an expatriate. He has been absent from the United States so long that we are a foreign people to him. In recent years this country has suffered much at the hands of its European ambassadors. All self-re-specting Americans have felt ashamed by the silly and un-American conduct of their country's “representatives.” Will try to reform the diplomatic department? If not, it should be abolished until the right sort of a man gets into the white house. ( i The tariff question will never be settled until it is settled right. The day of final judgment may be put off . but it will come. No one really ex- j pects any relief from the law that will , be enacted by the present congress. 1 Such test votes as have been taken 1 show that Aldrich and his crowd will 1

. have votes enough to pass the pending bill about as they want it. A few Res publican senators have made speeches t against the Aldrich program, but it is expected that most of these senators perhaps all of them will fall into line ‘ with the party bosses when the bill is 5 ready for final passage. Senator Bev--1 eridge of this state has been asking ' Boss Aldrich for “information’’ about 1 this or that item but he has at no . time indicated that he would vote > against the bill. And he will not vote against it. In the end he will find , some pretext for voting for the in- ! famous measure. The tariff will never be reformed until it is reformed by real tariff reformers, chosen by the ' people on that issue and for that purpose, and when that is done there are a few Democrats as well as many Re- • publicans that will have to walk the plank. A DEPUTY SHERIFF Ed Green Resigned His Place as Deputy Sheriff of the County PLACE IS FILLED Albert Presdorf of French Township to Take the Place Deputy Sheriff Ed Green has tendered his resignation and will quit the sheriff's office the first of next month. His place will be filled by Albert Presdorf, of French township, and a nephew of Sheriff Meyer. During the time that Mr. Green has been connected with the office of sheriff he has added to his friendships over the county, and has filled the place and performed the duties encumbered. upon this officer with satisfaction to all concerned. He is not certain as yet as to what he will engage in after he quits the office, but it is not his purpose to be idle long. Mr. Presdorf • who comes into the office, is a fine I young man, thoroughly capable to j take care of the many things that fall to the lot of a deputy sheriff. He is j already quite well known here and it will not be long until he will be right at home as deputy sheriff of the coun-1 ty-

Things are rather quiet in the office at the present time, but the coming up of many important cases in the Adams circuit court will give employment and lots of it to those connected with keeping the peace and dignity of the great state of Indiana. OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL W. A. Kuebler and daughter Marcella, Miss Edna Crawford, Dr. Earl Coverdale and others who went to Fort Wayne yesterday where Mrs. Kuebler underwent an operation at the St. Joseph hospital, returned home last evening. The operation was entirely successful and it is believed that Mrs. Kuebler will enjoy splendid health in the future. She revived from the influence of the anesthetic during the afternoon, and outside of the effects from that disagreeable part of the program felt much beter than could have been expected. The operation was a very delicate one, but there were no complications and her recovery is assured. Mr. Kuebler went to the hospital again today.

York—Other Items of Interest A social and farewell party was given for Mr. and Mrs. A. M. York at their home last evening, and everybody had a pleasant time. There was a large companv present and the Y. P. C. U. treasury of the United Brethren congregation was increased from the proceeds of the social. The guests played games and an impromptti program furnished a part of the evening’s entertainment. Misses Effie and Bessie York sang a duet, and Marie Ball gave two humorous readings. Howard Wisehaupt sang a solo. Miss Tot Hildebrand gave an instrumental solo. After several hours spent most delightfully, refreshments were served. The Oratorical Circle of the United Brethren church organized about a year ago will meet with the Y. P. C. her in turn discusses a subject. Homer Knodle is the speaker this time. He will talk on “The Do-Nothing Man.” The Mite Society of the Methodist church was entertained this afternoon by Mrs. D. M. Hensley. Mrs. Jno. Parrish, the president, presided, and business was transacted. This is the first division of the May section of the Aid Society and the hostess is chairman, and Mrs. John Peterson vice chairman. The Mite Society is a great help to the church financially.

Miss Elen Krill entertained the girls of the Sewing Club yesterday afternoon. The new name chosen for the club w-as ‘Waste R’’ and the secretary, Miss Annice Wilder, has recorded the change. The club meets every week. tr ii. . — Miss Jessie Magley went to Fort Wayne on the one o’clock car and will spend the afternoon with friends. o MOLLIE INTROUBLE Mollie Fravel Changed Headquarters to Randolph County Jail FOR ASSOCIATING She Likes the Boys and Especially One Roy Booher Winchester, Ind., May 14. —Hysterical and prostrated over her discovery » by a vindictive husband and an unexpected separation from her paramour, Mary V. Fravel, aged 38, was taken to the Randolph county jail last evening as the result of an indictment filed against her by James Fravel, a civil war veteran of Geneva, because of her alleged misconduct with Roy Booher, aged 21, a young man who formerly resided in Adams county, but now works in this city. The trouble, according to reports, is a long standing one and the little drama appears to be just another instance of Pope’s old story of “January and May.” James Fravel, now 72 years of age, married the woman when she was very young and he says that in late years their domestic life has not been a happy one. Then Roy Booher, young and vigorous, appeared upon the horizon and the wife's affections took a new channel. Fravel states that in the past year or so he has twice before had the couple arrested for their unbecoming conduct and for some time he has been living apart from his spouse. Mrs. Fravel was taken into ’Squire Chenoweth's court this morning where she pleaded guilty to the charge that had been placed against her and the fine of sls and costs was stayed She says that her stepfather compelled her to marry Fravel when she was very young and that she has always rued this step because it | brought her a life of dissatisfaction and misery. Since she came here, I Mrs. travel's conduct in public has been above reproach and she easily parsed for Booher’s wife.

A PIE EATING CONTEST Will Furnish No End of Amusement at the Star Theater—Don't Miss It. There will be plenty doing at the Star theater this evening and if you want to laugh until your sides ache you should be sure to attend. Besides the regular performance, including two splendid reels, there will be an old fashioned pie-eating contest. Mrs. Stoneburner has prepared a quantity of good home made blackberry pies and a number of candidates have already entered in the race. The boys will be divided into squads of four and will go on betwen each show, a different set of boys each time. Their hands will be tied behind them and the lad w’ho eats his pie in the shortest time will receive a dollar bill for his trouble. It will be good. o— POSTAL SERVICE The Rules Are to be Taught in the Schools of this Land from Now on BOOKS ARE ISSUED And Were Distributed in

Decatur Today—a Special Act of Congress The school children of this and of every other state in the Union are to be taught the rules under which the great postal system of the United States is conducted. This is in accordance with an act of congress which recently ordered the publication of a large number of pamphlets containing all the information necessary along this line. One of these pamphlets was today distributed to each school teacher in the public and parochial schools in Decatur by Postmaster Frisinger, and it now becomes their duty to give such instructions to the students as they deem necessary. These books are very valuable, and being issued by the government, are authentic. It is a very convenient bit of knowledge to know the rates of postage, the rules, the proper way to address a letter or to send a package and all this and a hundred more things are explained in the book. In addition to this the postmaster today under a special order, has distributed to each house in Decatur, a card 1 showing the proper manner to address a letter and the rules to be followed. o INFANT CHILD IS DEAD Two and One Half Months’ Old Babe Died this Morning at One O'Clock. Mildred Naomi, two months’ and seventeen days- old child of Mrs. Lucy Leßrun, died this morning from a complaint peculiar to infancy. The Child has been ill for several weeks. Mrs. Leßrun is certainly having more than her share of trouble. But a short time ago her husband was ushered into eternity and now that her infant babe is taken by the hand of death, untold grief has been ocasioned. The funeral services of the child will be held from the United Brethren church Sunday and interment will be made in Maplewood cemetery. o ■ Mr. and Mrs. Simms, of Marion, will return in a few days from Chattanooga, Tenn., where they have been spending the winter. Mrs. Simms was formerly Miss Maggie Beatty, a well known school teacher of this city.

It Tastes Good and Creates Strength YiKbl the famous cod liver and iron medicine, without oil. Vinol is much better than cod liver oil and emulsions, because, while it contains all the medicinal value they do, it disagrees with no one. As a body builder and strength creator for old people, delicate children, after sickness, and for stubborn coughs and colds Vinol is unequaled. Smith and Yager, Druggists
