J. H. HELLER, Manager. THE BOOSTERS FOR US We still stand by the statement that Decatur is no mean city, and that the number of chronic croakers is limited in number and a little weak in croaks. It really makes a genuine live one ashamed for them when they rattle around trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. They delight in proclaiming their great wisdom in the financing of every public improvement, in each instance figuring out to a gnat's heel how the public’s funds are squandered, and how measly corrupt every public official is. Their name seldom heads or tails any public enterprise having for its object the betterment of present conditions or the expanding of commercial enterprises. In other words they are pulling at the tail and the tail is pretty close to the rear. But we must say that the number of these hot air croakers is small and that Decatur is fortunate in having a citizenship composed in the most part of the genuine blown-in-the-bottle sort. They believe in making Decatur the best and the prettiest town in the country, and they are willing to do their part in making it everything

that it should be. Visitors in the city every day proclaim that Deca- 1 tur has made greater progress and 1 more improvements than any town 1 i they have visited. They say more than that. They say that Decatur shows more signs of business life . than any town around here. When , they say this they say what every one here—except a croaker —knows , to be a fact. Decatur is all right, , and while we have these croakers, we have the Jviliest set of boosters that ever came down the pike. They are i the best that ever happened, and they are the lads that will continue to make Decatur grow and prosper as she never grew and prospered before. The boosters for us. Lorimer, elected to the United States senate from Illinois, by a combination of bolting Republicans and foolish Democrats, signalizing his advent into the senate by joining the Aldrich gang. He declares that he will stand with the Rhode Island boss on all tariff measures and the first vote he cast was against free print paper, and in favor of $4 a ton duty. The only thing accomplished by the Democrats in helping to elect Lorimer was to split the Republicans of Illinois into factions which have since entered upon a ? ar of extermination among themselves. And in the end that may produce some good political results. Papers in this part of the state announce that grain buyers expect to start buying new wheat at a dollar a bushel. It is also predicted that the quality of the wheat this year will be fine, unless a wet harvest should have to be contended with. It is true that

the acreage of winter wheat is not so large as it was last year, but the of spring wheat is much larger than it was a year ago. While the outlook was no good this spring, the wet weather brought out the wheat in great shape and the yield per acre will be as high as the average in some parts of the state the green bug and wet weather have done some harm, but up to the present! time no complaints have been heard I in this county.—Columbia City Post.

FROM OLD MEXICO Miss Hattie Studabaker and Mrs. Champer at Home Here Again OTERS REMAIN SOUTH Mrs. Morrison and Daughter Will Spend Summer in Mexican Mountains Miss "Hattje Studabaker arrived home from a several months’ trip through old Mexico, the greater part of the time being spent at Oaxaca, where are located a number of other Decatur people. She was accompanied home by Mrs. Katherine Champer, who has been a guest at her daughter’s home at Fort Worth, Texas, for some months. Mrs. Morrison and daughter Miss Harriet and Miss Meinerding, of St. Louis, remained in Mexico, and will likely spend the summer there. It is a delightful country and the people from here who have spent winters in the clime where the thermometer varies but ten or fifteen degrees in an entire year are all pleased with the land. Since their arrival home Miss Studabaker and Mrs. Champer have been resting at their home on Fourth street. They are glad to be here again, and their many friends will be more than glad to greet them and hear from them of the wonderful lands of the south.

MUSICAL PROGRAM Was Pleasant Part of Exercises Last Evening at Opera House MEDAL CONFERRED Miss Genevieve Berling by Earnest Study—Wins Honor The muscal program of St. Josephs high school exercises last evening was very good. Three girls of the class especially did well, the Misses Genevieve Berling, Agnes Kohne and Naomi Niblick. Miss Berling will now be a student of the eighth grade. She was the first to complete the seventh grade of the academy course. In order to obtain their certificates last night's performance before the pub- 1 lie was necessary. Miss Agnes Kohne received a fifth grade certificate and Miss Naomi Niblick a sixth grade diploma. The Hungarian Rhapsody, as in all classical music, demanding skill and understanding, was played by Miss Berling, and was a rare treat. The selections of good music given by Misses Kohne and Niblick were rendered perfectly. Father Wilkin called the names of the students and they received their certificates. Those who received them were the Misses Josephine Lang, Mary Delninger,’ Dale Payne, Germaine Coffee, Leona Bosse, Agnes Meibers and Mrs. J. Q. Neptune, Mr. Glen Tague, Joseph Didot, Misses Genevieve Berling, Agnes Kohne and Naomi Niblick. When at the close of the program Rev. 'Wilkins called the name of Genevieve Berling, every one watched with interest to see the conferring of the gold medal on her, since she has with ’so much talent earned her reward. J The medal is a star of gold, having .her name engraved on one side and on the other “Music, Sisters of St. Agnes Academy class of 1509.” In the meantime a large bouquet of carnations were handed to Miss Berling by Mr. John Wemhoff, which with much applause.

THE BOHEMIAN MAGAZINE FOR JULY. An attractive array of illustrated special articles and short stories maybe found in the July Bohemian Magazine. “The Comic Journals of Europe,” by Leonore Van de Veer,, is an interesting study of English, French, German, Spanish and Italian humor, as exemplified by the “funny papers'’ of those countries. Reproductions of representative jokes supplement the text. George Jean Nathan's regular theatrical article treats amusingly of Vaudeville, and “The Science of the Dip," by John S. Lopez, tells of pickpockest and their acquisitve methods. Another of the popular series of college articles is written around “Princeton Professors." Eight meritorious tales of love .adventure, and humor, together with the department of Bric-a-Brac, Verse and Books of the Day, go to make up an exceptionally strong appeal to the magazine reader. MAKING SPEECHES Lawyers Holding Forth at the Circuit Court Room For Twelve Hours A BRILLIANT ARRAY Judge Heller Opens for Plaintiff and Mr. Lesh for Defendant Brilliant specehes by learned lawyers, was the order of the day at the court room today and will continue the greater part of tomorrow,

it being the closing of the big FaylorStudabaker case. Twelve hours was allowed for arguments, six to each side and the old court room is ringing with the talks by the men who form the array of legal talent in the case. Judge D. D. Heller opened with an hour’s speech, one of the best of his long career. He was followed by Mr. Eben Lesh, of Huntington, who spoke for an hour and a half explaining his views of the question. The order of speeches for the other lawyers is George Mock, of Bluffton, John Burns, of Hartford City, Robert Stine of Bluffton, D. E. Smith Decatur, C. J. Lutz Decatur, W. H. Eichhorn, Bluffton, closing for the defense and Frank Daily, Bluffton, for the plaintiffs. It is believed that five of the attorneys will complete their arguments today, leaving three for tomorrow and the closing, by the instructions to the jury by the court. It is thought now that the case will go to the jury at about five o’clock Thursday evening. Only a few people heard the speeches today, due to the facts that the real interests in the case belong in Wells county, and that the weather is pretty warm. o WOMAN, LOVELY WOMAN. But Alas, Without Beautiful Hair No Woman Can be Handsome. A great many newspapers and magazines are printing pages on how a woman can be beautlfuL And every one, as you can see for yourself, admits that no woman can be really beautiful unless she has lustrous and luxuriant hair. The women of Parts, are, as a rule, beautifuland keep beautiful, and a careful American observer who has traveled much claims that their beauty is due to their knowledge of how to keep their hair luxuriant, which they do by using a superior Lair tonic. Many American women are as wise as their French sisters, and that is why Parisian Sage, the quick acting and greatest of all hair restorers, and tonics, is now having such a tremendous sale in America.

We ask every woman reader of this paper to give this marvelous hair beautifier a thorough trial, and we gladly make them this liberal offer: Get a large 50 cent bottle from Holthouse Drug Co. today, the largest for the money in America. Use It as directed for two weeks. If at at the end of that time you are not satisfied with results, say so to Holthouse Drug Co. and they will give you your money back. Besides being a delightful and invigorating hair dressing, free from grease and stickiness, Parisian Sage will surely cure dandruff, stop falling hai rand itching of the scalp, or money back. The girl with the Auburn hair is on every package, and leading druggists in every town sell Parisian Sage. ■ ■■ — o Democrat Want Ads. Pay
