ARCHBOLD For Councilman-at-Large JACOB MARTIN M BURNS For Councilman First Ward ISAAC CHRONISTER For Councilman Second Ward JOHN D. HALE For Councilman Third Ward CHARLES N. CHRISTEN * HE STILL WANTS THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS

P. L. still insists that Decatur must be a dead one. No Improvements, no work for the laboring man and that means a curtailment of credit from the business man. It is a program of city management that will not cause the merchant or the laborer to swell up in pride. In fact it is a program that Is not calculated to make any of ue proud of ourselves, and it is one too, that should not be countenanced by the progressive spirit that is now so manifest in our city. The writer heard one of the best business men in the city say the other night that Decatur was now and had been during the past four years the best governed city in the state, and he proved the point by the accomplishments of the present council. It is an easy point to prove. They have been business men who have done things, and the greatest of their accomplishments has been the placing of the affairs of the city on a business basis, the payment of their bills and the reduction of the city debt. Now comes P. L. and suggests a return to those good old days. Those days when city orders went begging—they getting not even a pleasant look, let alone the good hard cash in lieu thereof. He wants to get back to the time when the city debt instead of being paid was permitted to accumulate and grow larger. P. L. stands tn a class all by himself. Every one else wants to pay as we go, reduce the debt and cut down the interest charge, which is heavy enough now. Deliver us from the days when we were going further and further In the soup, and when interest was being paid at the rate of six and eight per cent. If the present business features are continued it will not be many years before Decatur will be free from debt, free from outrageous interest charges, and free to manage her own affairs in her own free way. The present council has made this possible, and they should be elected

I Have Your Meters Set I « It will require considerable time for us to set your meters and test B , your house piping, so sign your contacts for the use of gas without de- * lay. We have competent men and lots of them for the work of setting * meters, and are prepared to rush this work. ■ Sign our contracts now. Nothing can be done toward fixing your 1 house for the comforts of artificial gas until your contract is signed. I ■ See to this matter today. ■ * 1 I Indiana Lighting Company. J

l to carry out the plans of the omy business council Decatur has had in t years. There is not s member of the present council who have a personal or selfish motive in the transaction of the affairs of the city. They may 8 have their faults but when It comes to business they have no friends to j reward or enemies to punish. It is h business, as It should be business " with every voter on election day. Every voter should vote for the nearest route for relief from the tangling . alliances of debt and interest. ITS GUARANTEED “The Girl That’s All the Candy” Will Be Here Next Monday Night HAVE THIRTY PEOPLE Manager Bosse Had to Guarantee the Company Three Hundred Dollars

“The Girl That’s All the Candy” which comes to the Bosse opera house next Monday, Oct. 18, is a far better show than usually comes. to towns of our size. It is a show that plays New York, Chicago and all the big cities. Mr. Bosse our local opera house manager, should be congratulated in securing such an attraction and to encourage him to bring more companies. Our people should turn out and support it. Mr. Bosse's contract caJls for the very same productions as given in the large cities. Every piece of scenery and all costumes must be used. Nothing cut and the prices to be 25c., 50c., 75c. It will be the very same show you will pay $1.50 to see in Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati or any one of the large cities. It is a big expensive show and our opera house will have to be packed for the company to break even. It is the first time they have ever played for this low admission and in order to hold the admission as stated Mr. Bosse was obliged to guarantee the company that their receipts would be at least S3OO. If our people don’t turn out and support this attraction they can’t expect Mr. Bosse to bring any more such companies here. FOR DYSPEPSIA You Risk Nothing by Trying this Remedy.

CHANGE OF VOTING PLACE Notice Is hereby given that the voting place heretofore established at I the Niblick elevator in precinct B, third ward, has been changed to the Crozier blacksmith shop, in Seventh •tieet, just north of the Hower & Hower grocery and the election will be held there at the city election, on Tuesday, November 2nd. Voters in that precinct will please take notice and govern accordingly , toNov.l Q THE PRICE OF GAS Only One Town of 5,000 in Indiana That Has as Good a Rate as Here AVERAGE IS HIGHER The Indiana Company is Still Making Efforts to Modernize Bluffton The Indiana Lighting company are still making a determined effort to make Bluffton an up-to-date town by furnishing them with artificial gas, but so far the stubborn ones of that slow and unappreciative town have not quit fighting, and still refuse to allow the company to enter the city without a law suit. To prove that the town has not been imposed on when the Indiana company offers to furnish them gas for one dollar per thousand cubic feet, Mr. Mulholland has prepared a list of all the cities in this state which have a population of between five and twenty-two thousand people and the price paid for gas. In none of them is the price less than one dollar excepting Vln cennes, where it is just five cents less. In many it runs as high as $1.50, and the average is $1.25 for lighting and $1.19 for fuel. Over the entire state there is but one place ■with but 5.000 inhabitants where the; rate is so low as one dollar and that 1 is at Plymouth. This fact proven by these figures, makes Decatur people the gladder that they have treated the Indiana company at least with respect. In doing so we have secured the fuel quicker and our people feel, assured that they will always be given fair treatment in return. The matter comes up before the Bluffton council again on Friday evening when the I Indiana company will make one mere i effort to secure an amicable settlement with the Bluffton people. q — A POPULAR VERDICT

□ased on Evidence of Decatur Peo- • pie. Grateful thousands tell it — How weak backs were made strong Weak kidneys made well; Urinary disorders corrected. Decatur people add their testimony. They gladly praise Doan’s Kidney Pills. For quick relief and lasting cures. Decatur evidence is now complete. Decatur testimony is confirmed; Cures doubly proved by teat of time. Let a Decatur citizen speak. Mrs. Catherine Contor, 227 N. First Street, Decatur, Ind., says- “I suffered; for quite a while from stains in my kidneys and nothing I tried relieved me. The kidneys did not do their work as they should and diabetes finally resulted. Several years ago I I was advised to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and I did so, procuring them at the Holthouse Drug Co. They re- i lieved me at once and I endorsed them publicly in 1902 and again in 1906. At this time I heartily confirm my former statements, as I have found that Doan’s Kidney Pills live up to the claims made for them.’’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Remember the name —Doan’s —and take no other. o MINIMUM RATE FIFTY CENTS On account of the frequent inquiries regarding the minimum price of artificial gas in Decatur, we wish to announce that the price in Decatur is fifty cents per month. That is to say, that this amount must be paid for the use of the meter, etc., whether that much gas is used or not. By some it was announced that the minimum rate was one dollar, but this is wrong. The lowest, charge is fifty cents, and those concerned are requested to please take notice. 243-3 t Indiana Lighting Co.
