♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦♦♦♦++ J WEATHER FORECAST * ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Unsettled with probably showers Wednesday and north portion tonight. There is but little transpiring in police circles at present as law violators are scarce. Mrs. A. B. May and children, Richard and Lilly, went to Bluffton where they have moved. The new home of Mel Rice on north Fourth street is going up rapidly and it will soon be completed. The Decatur Filler company is doing a good business and can scarcely keep up with their orders. Miss Josie Mumma went to Pleasant Mills today to visit her brother, Charles Mumma and family. The Royal Neighbors have an important business meeting tonight and the presence of each member is desired. Democrat readers cannot afford to overlook the announcements of the various Decatur business men found elsewhere in this issue. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Scott, of Fort Wayne, who have been guests of friends and relatives in the city for some time returned to their home. The Faylor-Studabaker case is being bitterly fought In the Adams circuit court and the attorneys for both sides are contesting every point in question. The school board will meet soon to award the contract for the coal to be used in the Decatur public schools next winter. They have already advertised for bids. Chas. Baxter, living on Elm street, has the chickenpox so hard that you can scarcely make him out. He tried to keep it from his friends, but it leaked out some way and now they are having a little fun with him. Chas, says he MH get even with the fellow if he finds out who gave him away. The Lose & Thomas cigar factory are putting out a dandy bunch of cigar clippings in plain wrappers and as, good as can be found on the market, j They expect to secure a big trade on, this line and may gradually develop into a tobacco factory of more or less size. The boys are hustlers and deserve a good share of your patronage. Help them to succeed and in doing so you help the city.

Mr. Harmon is conducting I a short order house and is doing a good business. Representative Babcock, of Lagrange, announces that he will not be a candidate for re-election. He has served two terms which he says is all it has been the custom to give to one man. For years the unwritten law in his county has decreed this and he does not care to oppose It. Sheriff Lipkey has received word from Michigan City to the effect that a parole has been granted to John or ‘ Snake" Wilson, who was convicted about two years ago, charged with having given false testimony before a grand jury.

Jacob Colter was in the city today on business. John Koenig, of St. Marys, was in the city today on business. William F. Jaebker, of Preble, transacted business in the city this morning. The amount of sickness in the county has greatly decreased during the past few weeks. I. L. Babcock is in the city looking after business interests and will soon returned to Frankfort. A number of musicians were rendering music on the streets today and passed the hat for donations. Arrangements are being made for several ball games in Decatur in which lodge teams will participate. The St. Marys river is quite high at present and a few more rains as we have had recently will cause her to overflow. Miss Tina Radamacher went to Fort Wayne today to make a short visit with friends and will return on the evening car. All lodges of the city have been invited to observe Decoration Day with the I. O. O. F. lodge next Sunday afternoon. A number of Decatur people are comfortably located at summer resorts, and before the season is over many will be on pleasure trips. An excellent show was given at the Star theater last night and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather large crowds witnessed the clever productions. The Decatur Horse Sale company are getting ready for another big sale here on Friday of this week. The season will close soon and those who want to buy or sell had better be getting busy . There are some great fights on in the various base ball leagues and much interest is being manifested by the fans here, which includes about every one, young or old. The person who doesn’s enjoy a good ball game is certainly a peculiar one. Dr. R. Max Nicholson who is quite well known in the city, and who was quite ill with pneumonia at Denver last February is much better now. Some time ago he went to Texas ano the gulf, where he spent a few weeks gaining strength. A few days ago he started home from Texas byway of the gulf and New York City. At New York City he will attend a medical convention. He will visit Washington before returning. Washington dispatches report that Dr .and Mrs. J. W. McKinney, of this city, who are sightseeing in the east, in connection with their trip to Atlantic City, where the doctor will attend the sessions of the American Medical Association, were callers at the White House in Washington Saturday afternoon, and were introduced to President Taft by Representative J.

Paul G. Hoper will enjoy a few days' fishing at Sylvan Lake, and expects to bring home enough bass for all his friends. A heavy rain fell last night, and this vicinity was invaded by an electrical storm. However, no serious damage has been reported. Henry Eiting the well known farmer from just south of town, recently brought to market ten loads of corn and tw’o loads of wheat -which brought him the very snug sum of nearly five hundred dollars. It seems to be the style of the weather man just now to send a thunder storm to this vicinity each evening. It’s good growing weather any way, and so long as there is no damage from the storms, -we have no kick coming. The Corbett cigar store is receiving a new coat of wall paper and its red, so red it makes yqou blink your eyes two or three times when you step in. Just the same when he gets through house cleaning, Tim will have an attractive looking establishment. A man who gave his name as Frank McCarty was given a hearing in the court of .Squire Smith last night where he pleaded guilty to the charge of mounting a moving Chicago & Erie train and he was promptly fined nine dollars. John Ellis, a Chicago Erie detective captured the fellow and at once filed an affidavit against him with the above stated results. A valuable horse belonging to Jonas Tumbleson was left in the pasture field on last Saturday morning and when he returned a short while after found the horse to have taken sick and died. Mr. Tumbleson is known for raising fine horses and but a short while ago refused an offer of two hundred dollars. It is thought the horse died with some kind of colic.

Mrs. C. M. Brighton returned from Fort Wayne, where she has been for some time. Dan Beery and son Lloyd went to Berne today where the former is attending to business. A very important business meeting will be held by the Wodmen tomorrow night, and it is urged that all members be present. Several candidates will be initiated into the mysteries of the order and a good time is promised. Olin B. Guiley who Friday was acquitted by a jury in the Noble circuit court of the charge of murdering his brother-in-law Edwin Wright, at Rome City, is exceedingly happy over the outcome of the trial and will now in all probability move back to his old home in Bowling Gren, Mo., where he has many friends. The departure of Mr. George Stiles, manager of the Park Hotel, and the closing of that popular hostelry, has caused considerable inconvenience to a number of the parties and witnesses in the Faylor case, about fifteen of them having secured boarding there, and being now forced to seek other quarters. The people of this vicinity should make it a point to attend the county commencement to be held In the central school lawn Thursday morning of this week. The program as arrangec is a splendid one and your presence lends encouragement to those who are working to educate the children of the county. Mrs. L. G. EHingham went to Winchester this afternoon. She will be joined tomorrow by her husband and with their children, Winifred and Miller, will proceed to Bloomington, where they will attend the mid-sum-mer meeting of the Democratic Editorial Association. Mbs. EHingham will read a paper, ‘The Editor's Wife” at this meeting.
