sion two weeks from tdday, but at present writing there is no special work upon which the members of are united. There has never been a session of our national congress when the leaders of the majority party were as far apart and as hopelessly divided as at the present time. It is impossible for them to get together and as a result there is plenty of fun ahead for the minority. Although it will cost the taxpayers of Adams county half a million drt lars, yet the sentiment is unanimous for the payment of every dollar of principal and interest due on macadam road bonds qnd interest. The citizens of Adams county believe in the payment of their just debts an*, not only that, the only regret they' have, is that future building of these splendid (roads is tabooed. Adams county has been a pioneer in these roads, and according to government reports they- now have more miles of macadam roads than any county in the United States. It has been the greatest improvement ever made, and they would like to complete the roads and make Adams county the paradise of the universe. 7 ne right thing for the members of the Great Northern Indiana Fair Association to do, is to dig down into the pockets of their jeans and pay off their indebtedness. By doing this they will start with a clean slate and they will make the fair the greatest financial success of any public enterprise ever undertaken. It does not pay to lose one's nerve at a critical time, and this is a critical time for this association. A little nerve, a little push anu a little good business management will see every stockholder repaid dollar for dollar, and they will give Adams county the best county fair in the state. The rough places have been found, they have paid for their experience, and the time is now ripe for the harvest. Those who have stuck to the ship during the trials of youth and inexperience should be the ones to benefit in the days of prosperity. Keep your nerve, pay the debt and let’s show the world the greatest county fair ever given. FOR RENT—A good house on the corner of Madison and Ninth streets.

IT WILL BE GOOD “In Louisiana” Under Auspices of the Knights of Columbus THANKSGIVING NIGHT It Will Be One of the Best Attractions Ever Given ■e in the City

“In Louisiana,” the attraction at ' Bosse's'opera house on Thanksgiving e night, Nov. 25, is one of the latest, i- both the press and public speaking i of it as one of the most pronounced 7 of successes that has been seen in recent years, singe the original production in St. Louis. It has had a 1 succession of engagaments where ■ people have been turned away night r after night. "In Louisiana” brings with its* delightful presentation some- ' thing more than momentary pleasure in its stirring movement and nwgniflcent scenic effects and settings, while its thrilling climaxes and 1 quality of acting is of the best. This ’ entertaining comedy will be given at the Bosse in this city on Thanksgiving night, under the auspices of the local lodge, Knights of Columbus. It will not only be entertaining, but the proceeds will be used for a good ' cause, and as soon as the seat sale, ■' opens there should be one grand rush for reserved seats. FUNERAL TODAY Last Rites for Martin Buuck Whose Death Occurred in West I MANY ATTENDED > Was Born and Reared in 1 Adams County—Son of Ernest Buuck, Friedham : 1 Many from this city attended the ' funeral of the late Martin Buuck, which was held this morning at ten 1 o'clock from the Freidheim Lutheran church, the Rev. Preuss officiating. As stated last week, his death oc- ' curred Friday morning at Albert Lea, Minn., where ne and his family had been making th aft r home (for two ; years. Mr. Buuck had been sick for two weeks with typhoid fever, and ' was thought to be much better when ■ his death occurred Friday morning, .'coming as a shocking surprise to his Adams county relatives, who be ’ lieved him to be recovering. His 1 father, Ernest Buuck. one of the we'l ’ known farmers of near Freidheim. who had gone there during his illness, was with him at the time of ■ his death. The father with the be- . reaved widow, accompanied the re- . mains to the old home here, arriving . Saturday evening about four o clock ' over the interurban. The body was met at Nine Mile by a cousin of the deceased, M. Kirsch and A. G. Selle- : meyer of this city, with other friends and relatives, and coming back as far 1 as Stop 13, the body was taken across I ! by carriage to the parental home at I Freidheim. The deceased was born and reared in this county and had ' not yet reached middle age, when ■ claimed by death, being thirty-four > years of age. When quite a young man he came to this city and learned

the blacksmith trade, working witn Gus Schlegel. He later moved to Wesley, lowa, and then to Albert Lea, Minnesota, where he opened a smith of his own, and was engaged in a prosperous business. Besides his parents he leaves a wife and one child, a little girl, also several brothers and sisters residing in this county and Fort Wayne. The widow will leave tomorrow for her home at Albert Lea, but her future course is still undecided.

MAKING UP A LIST Mayor-Elect Teeple is at Work on His List of Appointments TO ANNOUNCE SOON It is Likely that Frank Peterson Will be Named as City Marshal Judson W.

He will appoint a fire chief, city engineer, marshal, street commissioner.and secrei tary of the board of health. The other p aces of appointmemt are filled by the council and the mayors aynointments must be approved by the I council. So far as can be learned at this time, there will be no fried in between the officials, it being the idea to give the city the best service nos slide all around. Within a few days Mr. Teeple will likely announce his ; appointments, it is possible that in one or two instances no change will be made for the present, though this has not been definitely decided. The most important places are marshal and stret commissioner. It is said that for marshal there are quite a ■number of applicants, and while the ; mayor has made no official state ment, it is the general opinion that ithis place will go to Frank Peterson, !a well known young man, whose nam? has ben connected with the place since the election. Within a short time the list of appointments will be given out officially by the mayor-elect who stated this morning that he ■ would do his best to make such nominations as will be satisfactory to the greater number of people and will appoint the men who he believes the most capable of serving the citizens of Decatur.

FOR HOME MISSIONS Rally Day Appropriately Observed at U. B. Church A GOO D PROGRAM Was Rendered —Recitations • Drills, Addresses and Songs Given The Home Mission Rally Day services conducted at the United Brethren church last evening by the Sunday school, very interesting and ! attended by a large audience in spite ! of the rainy and disagreeable weather. J. J. Foughty, the superintendent lof the Sunday school, could not be i present on account of sickness, and in his absence, Howard Wisehaupt had charge of the program. Very excellent napers on home missions,

1 were prepared and read by Mrs. I Philip Meihls and Mrs. John Hill, two I of the active mission workers of the | church, and the Rev. I. Imler gave a | most instructive map talk, compar- | fng the missions of the United States I with those of foreign countries. The I children of the Sunday school lent | their aid in making the services de- | lightful and some very beautiful re-. | j citations and drills were given by | those, who though young in the work, J 1 are being trained to appreciate this I’ very Important department of the ■ I church. The “Dons," a newly or. I ganized boys' quartet, including I (Howard Wisehaupt, Bruce Patterson, | Don Burke and Sherman Beery, renI dered some very good music during ' the service, and the choir also met the occasion with some excellent , special music.

FAITHFUL SERVICE John W. Vail Resigns as Superintendent of M. E. Sunday School TWELVE YEARS SUPT. Business Interests Take Him Away from Town Greater Part of Time After twelve years faithful and efficient service as superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school in this city, John W. Vail has announced his Resignation as superintendent, this announoement being received with much sorrow by the congregation, at the close of the Sunday school yesiterday morning. Mr. Vail has extensive business Interests in St. Louis and Cardwell. Mo., and is forced to be away so much of the time, that he felt that he should resign and give the office over to one who makes this city his home permanently and is able to be present at all the services. C. L. Walters who has served as assistant superintendent for some time, will act in Mr. Vail's place until the election of the new officers at i the first of the year. It is not often that one holds an office of this kind for so many years as has Mr. Vail, and this very length of his service shows the esteem in which he has been held in this capacity.
