FOR PRACTICAL USE In Establishment of Better System in Decatur Central Building. For some time the school board and others connected with the public institutions of learning of the city have been of the opinion that a better system of sewerage and plumbing should prevail at the Central school building in this city, which, in fact, is the one thing needed to make this one of the best and most complete high school buildings in this part of the state. To examine the plumbing system and sanitary conditions of other schools around here and be thus better able to judge of the improvements to be made on this building and to get some good pointers on the subject in general the members of the city school board, including A. Sellemeyer, D. B. Erwin and F. V. Mills, with Professor E. E. Rice, superintendent of the city schools, and Contractor Charles Chris 1 ten, left today noon for Huntington, where they will make a thorough examination of this department of the school buildings there. o The music committee of the Presbyterian church has arranged for a very special feature of the morning song service next Sunday, this being a vocal solo by Mr Woods, who is a very fine singer. The treat will be a rare one. o See Bowers & Niblick Grain Co. for timothy, cloved and alfalfa seed. 3tf

TO PAPA’S OFFICE Two Year Old Richard Smith Develops “Wanderlust” and Starts to EXPLORE THE WORLD That Lay Between His Protecting Home and Papa s Office—He Gets There. Not waiting for the consent or the guiding hand of an elder, or to don his •Sunday" frock, but clothed in his rompers, good warm play coat and hood, and the innocence of his two short summers, little Richard, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Smith, of West Monroe street, left his home this morning and faced the "wide, wide world” that lay between his protecting home and papa's office. He wandered along, his bright eyes open to all the novelties of an unexplored world. The bright pretty valentines, the cuckoo clocks, the pasteboard babies that wink by machinery, the striped sticks of candy in the jars in the windows, all served to pass the time pleasantly until he reached the fountain on the court house square. There a person who passes his home every day and knew him, met him, and spoiled all his pleasure by asking him if he ran away and telling him to come along. All his bravery vanished at the words of the strange person, and he turned to flee, a great longing rising in his little neart for the protection of nis home walls and yard. But the person mentioned that his papa's office was just across the ' way and the little chap, with joy In 'his heart, pattered along just in time Ito meet Willie Hammell, the clerk in I the Smith & Schurger's office, coming to meet him, having been notified by I telephone message from the Mills grocery to be on the lookout for him. A 'telephone message to the Smith home brought great relief to the anxious mother, who had missed the litle fellow and was searching everywhere for him without success. Richard has only lately developed the wanderlust fever, and this is the second time this week that he resolved to take a long journey. The first time he only reached the Methodist parsonage, however, where the good pastor, whose duty it ( is to care for the wandering, recognized the litle lad and took him home.

A Fort Wayne exchange says: "Miss Margaret Vesey wil hold an informal reception on Saturday afternoon at her home, 2602 Thompson avenue in honor of the council member of the Kings' Daughters, Miss Greenwood, of St. Louis, who is to be the guest of Mrs. Robert Harding this week. All circles in the city are cordially invited to the “at home.”
