IS GOOD PROGRAM Splendid Program Was Rendered at the M. E. Church Last Night GOOD ADDRESSES And Inspiring Music Was Rendered During the Meeting Regardless of excessive warmth of the atmosphere a fair sized audience gathered at the M. E. church last evening where a most inspiring musical and literary program was dispatched to the complete satisfaction of all. Promptly at 7:20 o'clock Hamrick s clever orchestra rendered two beautiful overtures as the audience assembled and at 7:30 with Prof. J. C. Tritch presiding, the program proper was auspiciously opened by the rendition of an organ prelude by Mr. Harold Heneford, a college youth whose musical attainment is far above the average. Following, a hymnal was sung after which prayer was offered by Morris Hay. Lesson from the Psalter was then read followed by a song by the congregation. Attorney C. L. Walters was then introduced, and presenting as his theme “First Impressions," he launched into a discourse which was replete with oratory and logical thoughts. Every possible phase of the subject was delineated ably and effectively by the attorney and his talk met with favor among his auditors. A vocal solo, “Sharing His Sorrows,” from “The Resurrection” was then rendered by R. Earl Peters, after which the Hon. D. E. Smith disecoursed upon the subject “The Bible and the Law.” The striking relationship between the two was vividly exemplified, and Attorney Smith demonstrated how the Bible and the law go hand in hand in the mission for the betterment of humanity. He paid a fitting tribute to the Bible, the pulpit and to all the agencies which have to do with the welfare of the Christian church and he then from a moral viewpoint demonstrated the good influences which find inception from the fundamental laws of the

state and nation. Attorney Smith said many good things, as he always does and his talk was highly appreciated. After the singing of a hymn, benediction by John W. Vail closed the very interesting services and as the audience dispersed the orchestra consisting of ten pieces rendered beautiful selections. The meeting was a marked success. ILL FOR LONG TIME Mrs. William Schamerloh Submitted to an Operation this Morning THREE GALL STONES — Her Many Friends are Hoping for a Speedy Recovery and Good Health Mrs. William Schamerloh of Union township, has been in ill health for several years the trouble finally being diagnosed as pal! stones, from which relief could come only from an operat:on. The operation was finally agreed upon and Drs. McOscar of Fort Wayne and Clark & Clark of this city performed the same this morning, and three large stones wer removed. The patient was on the operating table for a considerable time, but notwithstanding her weakened condition she rallied and showed no bad eff?ct. She is very weak and it will take good care and nursing to bring her back to the health enjoyed in years gone by. Should the next few days show no decline her family and friends wl’i be greatly encouraged and have hopes of her ultimate recovery. The operation was not in the least dangerous, and only the weak condition of the patient makes the case at all critical The many friends of the Schamer'.on family are hoping that Mrs. Schamerloh will rapidly recover and that she soon will be able to take her place in the many circles of society to which she has so long been accustomed. o AGENTS—Handy Hame Fastenei Every horse owner buys at sight. 200 per cent, profit.

A NEW INDUSTRY Smith and Bell Will Put in Large Lumber Yards in this City DEAL IS COMPLETED Yards Will Be Located Between the Erie and Clover Leaf Railroads After going through the red tape in all the departments of the Clover Leaf and Erie railroads, the matter has at last been officially settled, and Smith & Bell, Decatur's shippers and wholesalers in all the best grades of hardwood lumber will put in an extensive lumber yards in this city the same to be used for the re-shipping and re-loading of their product. The yards will be located between the Clover Leaf and Erie tracks, just west of the pecatur Produce plants. Work upon arranging the ground for conventiently handling and taking care of the vast number of shipments will be begun at once and before many more weeks the yards will be In full operation. It will be a great advantage to this company and at the same time means an increase in the shipping out and in from all the roads in this city, and it means also the employment of several men to handle the lumber and sort it for distribution to their many customers who are located in most all directions. A great deal of it goes east, while Detroit and many other cities buy extensively from the Decatur shippers. Smith & Bell are among the large distributing agents in the lumber industry, having grown from the small mill industry until now they take care of all the output of many of the large mills in the country. The yards in this city will better fit them for taking care of the trade. o , NOTICE OF BIDS. Notice is hereby given that I will receive bids on or before Aug. 18, 1909, for hauling pupils from school district No. 8 to District No. 7 in Root township, Adams county, Indiana. Chas. E.

A BIG BOND ISSUE (Continued from page 1.) about gross new business of $12,500.00. 20 per cent, gross profit equals $2,500.00. Interest on bonds $600.00. Total interest $3,100.00, or 31 per cent, annual returns from investment of $2,000.00 in bonds. Three furniture dealers at $500.00 equals $1,500.00 invested. 100 employes at $25.00 each per annum equals gross business of at least $12,500.00. 20 per cent, gross profits equals $2,500.00: interest on bonds equals $450.00: total interest $2,950.00, or at least 39 per cent annual returns from investment of $1,500.00. Nine grocers investing each $500.00 equals $4,00U.00 invested. 100 men at average of $5.00 per week for grocery products mean a total new business of at least $130,000.00. Counting only ten per cent profits on this business equals $13,000.00 Interest on bonds at 6 per cent, equals $1,350.00. Total returns $14,350.00, or at least 64 per cent, annual returns from an investment of only $4,500.00 and at that the investment will be returned at the end of 5 years, or an option granted within 18 months converting it into stock that should pay a large dividend on the investment. , It is needless to continue these prospective figures, but if you take into consideration in the same way the return to the three hardware dealers, five meat dealers, five restaurants and bakeries, twelve doctors and dentists, four dry goods dealers, four clothing merchants also the lawyers, renters of houses, phone company, electric light company, bankers, insurance men —in fact every merchant and professional man in Decatur will profit in exact proportion to the business done. There are at least 100 business men in Decatur who would profit in these proportions from these wages. This is not a wild cat scheme. It is a good investment. One investor who is trained to pick out the good from the bad in just the same way that our bankers pick out their credits when they loan their hundreds of thousands of dollars of deposits, pronounced it at least a 30 per cent, investment and backed up his judgment with a very subscription. This is not a new concern. Nearly $60,000.00 is already invested in the capital stock of the company. Their assets today exceed their liabilities and the market is ready and waiting for the product. There is no reason

on earth why the business should not | grow sufficiently within the next few ■ years and employe at least 1,000 men at that time. Other industries In thei same business are doing it. Newcas- j tie, Ind., has one factory that employs 2,300 men and Newcastle is no larger than Decatur. Outside investors are waiting to take up this proposition. The business will be continued. It only remains for our company to say the word and the bonds would be over subscribed by foreign investors. But we want to keep the plant at Decatur. We can't afford to move. Our product is well known and identified with Decatur. We expect to solicit subscription this week among our investors in Decatur. We trust you will give ft your careful consideration and purchase the maximum amount you can spare from your other investments.
