E. church as he discoursed upon the theme "Making the World Better.” Dr. Ferris is a truly practical man, having a forcefulness of speech and an excellent line of thought.

Os course everybody is planning to attend the Great Northern Indiana fair to be held at Stele’s park next week. It will be a big event and those who fail to attend at least two days will miss some great features which have heen secured at a heavy expense. Miss May Simpson, the lady driver in the races, will no doubt attract much attention. Whitley county officers are going to try to colect fees due the county on change of venue from other counties. The amount due is approximately sl,500, about one-half of which is due from Allen county on account of the John B. Scott murder trial.

j The play "A Woman’s Secret,” giv- ■ en at the Guy Stock company tent last night, was well attended, and ,it was greatly appreciated. This company always makes a hit in Decatur.

Moses Schumacher an Amish farmI er living a mile south and a mile and a half west of Nappanee, was married five years ago and is the father of nine children, three of whom are triplets and four were twins.

This company has the reputation of putting on a gopd clean show, which is well appreciated by the people. One Henry Mow, whose home is in Grenetown, stepped from the afternoon southbound train Wednesday and started to walk home to Greentown via Decatur. While walking! north on Jefferson street he fell to the sidewalk suffering from epileptic fits. Mow had been working in Michigan, where he suffered a similar spell of sickness just before starting for home and was robbed of his money except about enough to take him to Decatur, where by mistake he failed to get off. At the home of Philip Sprunger he was fed and medical help was called. A number of men of town made up enough money to pay his way home on the northbound evening train. —Berne Witness.
