BONOS IN TIME OF PEACE There used to be some talk about the iniquity of "issuing bonds in time of peace." that is, of course, when they were issued under a Democratic administration. But within the past two years millions of bonds have been issued and now the new tariff bill has provided for issuing nearly $300,000,000 more. The Indianapolis News says: In the beginning it was p-oposed to pay the cost of the Panama canal entirely out of current revenues. In those days the government was a good deal troubled to find away to dispose of its surplus. That trouble has disappeared. Instead of a surplus last year, the year ending with June, we had a deficit considerably in excess of $100,000,000. Here is a very marked change in conditions. Now there are no surplus revenues to be devoted to extraordinary objects. It will be remembered further that in those dis-

tant days it was estimated that the canal would cost less than $150,000,000. Now it is known that it will cost almost $400,000,000. So it was necessary to abandon the original plan. This was the theory on which the makers of the new tariff proceeded authorizing thei ssue of $295,569,000 of three per cent, bonds to cover the cost of the canal, and to reimburse the treasury for the amount advanced on the account We have already borrowed $84,631,900 for canal purposes. Thus we get a present es-|

The charge is made that the convention is called early so that no candidate exthe present mayor, George'll. McKee, will have time to see the voters.

For the past several years Miss Weldy has been one of the executive officers of the Y. W. C. The pleasant reunion this week of the class of 1891 Decatur high school will be celebrated at a picnic supper to be given the last of the week. Mrs. Nellie Hart Oakes, Mrs. lanthina Gregory Townsend and Mrs. Mary Gratner Right will be among those who will attend from out of the city. Mrs. Charles Ervin and family entertained at dinner this noon the Misses Clara Collsmith and Julia Sheeter of Delphos, who arrived in the cit*this noon. They will remain several days visiting the family. The dance this evening at the K. C. hall promises to be a great event. The event is being given by Mr. Wm. Faurot, who was married this morning from St. Marys church and has invited all the members and lady friends to be present. This young couple have a large number of friends in and about Decatur and their best wishes are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Faurot.

This morning as the bells Os St. Marys church pealed forth their merry chimes, Mr. Wm. Faurot and Miss Mary Appleman proceeded to the altar steps and were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, Fr. Wilken officiating. Miss Cecilia Neswald and Hattie Faurot were the bridesmaids while Leo Faurot and Joseph Appleman acted as best men. The services were very beautiful and the ring ceremony was used. Immediately after the services were over the wedding party went to the home of the bride just west of the city, where a large wedding dinner was served and all during the day the nearby relatives and friends were entertained in a very pleasing manner. Mr. and Mrs. Faurot will reside on a farm a few miles south of the city, where a beautiful cottage awaits them. Both of these young people are held in the highest esteem and the best wishes of their many friends are extended to them. This evening at the K. C. hall a dance will be given to all the members and their lady friends and a happy time will no doubt be had.

Quite a number of people from the south part of the county were at the fair today. A light rain fell this afternoon, but was not sufficient to lay the dust. A good rain some night would not go bad. W. F. McKean of Germantown, 0., is here attending the fair and looking up friends, after an absence of a year and a halt Will Wertzberger (who has been working as a motorman at Big Rapids, Michigan, is the guest of his parents and other relatives here. Bert Bailey is doing some advertising at the fair grounds for his Soxonia oil lamp for which he is agent in Adams county. o CURED HAY FEVER AND SUMMER COLD A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: "Last year I suffered for three I months with a summer cold so distressing that It interferred with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctors prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed only to aggravate It. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley’s Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley’s Honey and Tar with the same success.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

IORPHEUM CO. AGAIN PLEASES Gave Splendid Production of the “Parish Priest” List Evening. The Orpheum company again played to a large audience last evening, every one of whom went away firm in the conviction that tnls is the best stock company whicn ever showed here. Last night they presented "The Parish Priest,” an Irish drama,which has gained fame all over the country. The company carries all their scenery, even all their properties from the smallest bracket up to each piece of furniture, and they deserve a packed bouse each evening. See them tonight in "The Garrison Girl.” COURT HOUSE NEWS A Marriage License Was Issued—Transfers at the Recorder’s Office SOME OTHER NOTES Mail Order Lady Moves on to Bluffton —New Deputy at Recorder’s Office Miss Bessie Wherry, the deputy recorder, is enjoying her vacation this week, and her place is being looked after by Mr. Ed Klemsenz, who is a popular and capable young man. One of the silent ladies, the boss talker, has gone to Bluffton, where she will start on similar duties to those served here, that of copying a list of names from the assessors books, presumably for the purpose of compiling a mailing list for a Chicago firm. Her partner will remain here and complete the work when she will join her sister at Bluffton. By the way the silent business is a joke, for of all the talking machines we ever tackled for an interview, one of these girls gets the sweepstakes. At that they prefer that not too much be said about the business they are here for.

A marriage license was issued to William E. Faurot, aged 24, a farmer, to Mary Appleman, aged 24, daughter of Andrew Appleman, Real estate transfers: David Soldner et al to Albert N. Sprunger, lot 284, Berne, $1,700; Frederick Hoffman to A. N. Sprunger, lot 267, Berne, $250. ————<o STILL THEY COME The crowds at the Crystal airdome are still getting larger at each evenings entertainment Mr. Johnson the "singing and dancing kid” certainly is there with the goods, and always gets the glad hand at each performance. Many compliments are handed Mgr. Biggs on the quality of show he is putting up and he certainly deserves the patronage and good will of all our citizens. The pictures shown at the Crystal are not only new and up to date, but are practically flashless, and do not injure your eyes no matter how closely you may watch them. Another great feature of this show is the orchestra music which |is certainly great. Can you think of another five or even ten cent show that has anything near such an orchestra as the Crystal. While the boys are all home talent, they are the best ever and the music alone is worth several times the price of admission. The singing and dancing kid Will be at the Crystal tonight onlyafter which he will leave for Chicago, for a week’s engagement at one of the leading vaudeville houses of the city. You should not fail to attend this popular amusement place tonight.
