The governor’s appointment of an accounting board was made from a standpoint of ability, with the usual favoritism eliminated. How cherishing this is after witnessing the esof our former chief executive whose appointments smacked of a different smack. Senator Shively's maiden speech in the senate of the United States yesterday .was a masterful argument upon the legal phases qf the pending tariff bill. He clearly showed the weak points and at the same time added to his fame as a public speaker. It is already clear that Senator Shively will soon be a leader among his colleagues and that he will reflect great honor upon his state and his political party. The common people of this country would be perfectly willing to test the matter of free lumber; they are of the opinion that the big saw mills in the United States can compete with those in Canada, and besides it would be to the advantage of home builders everywhere if the price of lumber should be lowered by some strong competition from Canada or elsewhere. —Columbia City Post.

ANOTHER GARAGE J. F. Harris and Ed Kraner Will Open Garage Here IN TWO WEEKS They Are Negotiating for Portion of Schafer Building T. E. Kraner of Geneva, and J. F. Harris of Warren, Indiana, are negotiating for the installation of another garage in the city and have practically completed all arrangements for it. Mr. Kraner was in the city this morning and while here inaugurated a movement to secure a portion of the Schafer building on First street for the garage. While the location has not been definitely decided upon it is assured that these gentlemen will establish such a business in Decatur. They will also have several automobiles for rent and will operate a business up to date in every respect. The Schafer building would be a most desirable location for a garage and should Mesrs. Harris and Kraner be fortunate enough to secure it they will be certain of doing a lucrative business. This will make two garages that Decatur will have and without doubt both concerns will have all they can take care of as there are many cars owned by Decatur people and more to be bought in the near future. THE SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES Many are the plans to curb the automobile speed maniac by legislation. One ingenious man has suggested that the chauffeur be fined land the automobile be imprisoned for for a stated number of day! There tnay be some sense in that, in spite ; of one’s first thought. Certainly many 1 automobilists have overridden public patience entirely and the situation 1 is becoming unbearable. A ghastly number of pedestrians have already been slain this spring, and the total ; for the season is sure to run high, j The ‘joy riders” are the chief source 'of the trouble—chauffeurs who steal' their employers machines out of hours and adventure forth eager to ‘‘burn 1 up the pavements.” Legislators are passing measures looking to a more stringent license system; in some states a chauffeur who thus ‘‘joy rides” may be arrested for larceny. •It is rather gratifying to find that | the actual owners of cars themselves are seldom so reckless of the rights ■ of others. Indeed, these owners, banded in different automobile associations, are doing all they can, by advice and active co-operation, to remedy the present dangerous conditions. The final remedy, of course, lies in impressing deeply upon the minds of automobilists a strict system of automobile ethics. Adherence to good sportsmanship in automobiling, as in other pastimes, will prove the radical cure.—From View-point, in The Outing Magazine for June. o Democrat Want Ads. Pay — ™ —!rr. *" ? .

PROMOTION CARDS HANDED OUT The City Schools Closed This Afternoon for Three Months’ Vacation. The children reported at school this afternon long enough to secure their last report of the year, and their promotion cards if they were so lucky as to have passed the final tests successfully. The fortunate ones could be easily guessed as they passed along the street with a smile a yard wide decorating their happy faces. The three months’ vacation begins now and they will be free ot study for inany weeks, returning then to harder work in a higher grade. held a Meeting Directors of Packing Company Transact Business LAST EVENING Decided Change Has Been Made in the Concern The board of directors of the Decatur Packing company held a meeting last night at which time the usual routine of business was transacted. Reports relative to the business of the concern were read and approved and the sale of the meat market to Pennington and Baker was recorded in the minutes. The session was enthusiastic and all board members present were well satisfied with the volume of business being done. A scarcity of good cattle and hogs in this vicinity was reported and many other things were done which have to do with the progress of the institution. Another meeting will be held next Monday night at which a report will ■ be made of the Fort Wayne branch lof the PacKing company. Other im- ■ portant business will also occupy the . attention of the body. A decided , change has been made In the interior of the packing house, which not only adds to the facilities of the plant, but also diminishes the expense of operation. Two of the coolers have | undergone such repairs as to permit of a sausage room neing installed , above them. Thus storage room has been afforded and the sausage room is much more convenient. The Decatur Packing company is doing a good business. o The Royal Neighbors held a very .interesting meeting last night at which time business of importance was looked after. The Neighbors are rapidly increasing in membership and is a strong auxiliary. AU members of the local camp of Modern Woodmen lodge are requested to be present at the meeting to be held tonight as business of vital importance will be transacted. Initiatory work will also be conferred. o— DANDRUFF. Cured in Two Weeks or Money Back In fact Holthouse, the druggist, has a wonderfully efficient hair restorer called Parisian Sage which costs only 50 cents a bottle that is guaranteed to cure dandruff in two weeks or money back. Parisian Sage is the discovery of one of the world’s greatest scientists, who knowing the value of sage as a scalph cleaner and hair restorer, combined it with other ingredients in i proper proportions, and the result is the most wonderful hair tonic In the world. Parisian Sage is a most pleasant, daintily perfumed hair dressing, and 1 besides curing dandruff, your druggist will return your money if it fails to ; stop falling hair or itching of the scalp. ( It will make hair grow and women who desire soft, beautiful and luxuriant hair can have it in two weeks by I using this famous, quick acting preparation. Holthouse drug store sells it under a guarantee. Don’t let any druggist Pell you he I has something just as good as Parisian Sage because there isn’t any hair restorer so good. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package, and you get amuch larger bottle of Parisian Sage for your 50 ceuto ilxau you get of the ordinary. “I have used various hair tonics and can say that Parisian Sage gave the ha> a good, healthy, silky’ appearance, rids the head of dandruff, and keeps the scalp cool and clean. I recommend Parisian Sage as being fine for I the hair and far ahead of any other tonic I ever used.” Miss Emma Foess 1520 Adams street, Owosso, Mich., De- I cember 9, 1908. ’

You only have our hearts, Seniors, believe! We know you went ahead of every other class But soon we’ll come this way, you’ll be surpassed. Blue is the Senior class saying “Forget us not!” We tried to do our best —Oh! what a fib. Just see the teachers dear, wink at all that are here; We can’t but see thro’ that, Seniors poor dear. Now watch the Junior class come up above the rest People will think the world is at an end. When graduating time comes for the Juniors of ’O9 Talk about a hot old time please don’t forget. How can we leave you, how can you go Out to the cold, cold world your path to hoe. Don’t let “Confide te” slip from your minds away And think of us at times, Juniors ’O9. The Junior reception last evening at the home of Frank Mills was a very pleasant affair. Two or three days ago invitations were received by the Seniors, high school faculty and school board for the event, of last i night. Since that time there was much interest in the reception. As in all former Junior receptions the Juniors have received the guests very formally’ so they did last night, only ths time every member of the Junior class welcomed those w-ho came as they entered.

From the chandelier to the corners of the room wide streamers of crepe paper ribbon were festooned and the lights of the chandelier were hooded with the colors. On the curtains penants were pinned and everywhere on the walls. In the parlor the high school colors, purple and gold were the decorations festooned as in the library. With the lights shaded in these colors, the room looked very pretty. In the living room the Junior decorations in scarlet and gold were arranged in the same manner, and adding to the effect were great bowls of purple violets everywhere, a color dear to the heart of the faculty and school board as well as the pupils. The first hour was spent socially. During this time Irene Evans played on the piano. A book contest was then tn order. With this contest, great interest in working out the answers was shown. The contest asked the question, “Who was a historical girl?” The answer was the name of the answer —“Alice of Old Vincennes.” The next question was “Who lived in a famous house and who was the architect —Richard Carvel. Miss Dunathan was most successful and won the prize, a book. A bridal contest furnished entertainment for ;t was very interesting, and every one did well. Miss Josephine Krick received a book as the reward for the best answers. The first question was “The groom’s name”—Jonquil After the contest Don Burke gave a stump ’speech. Refreshments were served in three courses by tlxe four girls at small tables. There were eleven tables strewn with violets. Place cards were painted water color penant flags in scarlet and gold with the name of a country, state or capital city. Those who had capital cities found the countries they were the capitals of and the countries found I their seats of government. Pansies were the favors.
