SHORT MESSAGES (Continued from page 1.)

SKOVGAARD WONDERFUL MAN. Entertainment Given by High School Seniors a Delightful One. Unintentionally the splendid entertainment given under the auspices of the seniors of the high school at the library hall Monday evening was over looked in Monday evening's issue. The affair certainly deserves mention lor it was undoubtedly one of the highest classed events of the kind ever given here. It is undisputed that no such musician as Skovgaard ever before visited Decatur. His reputation is international and his performance here was declared simply grand by the many who heard him. He is a violin master and ranks among the world s greatest. He was ably assisted by Miss Alive McClung, pianist, and Miss Mae Warner, soprano, each of whom was unsurpassable. The seniors deserve much credit for securing such an entertainment for our people and those who missed it lost a rare treat. o THE FAIR READY FOR BUSINESS. Hitesman & Garard, who have rented the Forbing building, just north of the Schafer Hardware store, have filled their shelves with new and clean stock and will handle everything in the line of notions. They have a dandy appearing place and will be glad to greet their friend there and qoute you prices. The new member of the firm is Al Garard, who for years has been in the hardware business with various firms here. Go In and see them.

FOUND A COMPLETE CURE. About three years ago my little boy had a slight eruption on his face. In a short time he was a sight to be seen, his eyes almost swelled shut and his suffering at night was terrible. “He was simply on fire.” I tried a number of doctors here in the city, but with absolutely no results aside from easing the burning pains a little. A friend of mine who had used B. B. Ointment advised me to try it, which I did, finding a complete cure. I have had the second case in my family and one box completely cured. I cannot speak too highly of B. B. Ointment. It will do all it is recommended to do. A. C. BALL, Decatur, Ind. B. B. Ointment is sold by Holthouse Drug Co. Jan.3l-2tßwk-6wks

POINT OF RIVALRY Between Berne and Geneva as to Which eGts Next Poultry Show. DECIDED ON MARCH 5 Executive Committee of the Poultry and Com Association Met Today. Will the next Adams county poultry corn show be held at Berne or Geneva? This is a question of great import to the two rival towns, each of which is offering special inducements to the association. The executive committee of the association, including W. A. Fonner, D. M. Rice, Martin Gerke of Root township, A. A. Augsburger, Sam Simison of Berne, Walter Thornhill and J T. Burley of Geneva, met this morning in the office of Gallogly & Lower for the purpose of deciding the place and also the date of holding the next show, but owing to some misunderstanding his decision was deferred until March sth, at which time the committee will meet in Berne for the decision. Representatives of Berne report that that enterprising burgh has raised the sum of slll, and the hustling town of Geneva $l3O for special premiums and other things for the benefit of the association if the show is held in their respective towns, and whatever this will be raised to by March sth will decide the place. With the exception of one year the show has been held in this city, and the other towns think it but right that the south part of the county be given a chance. The show was held at Berne year before last.

THE BIG LION HAS ARRIVED. The exhibition at the Star theater tonight and tomorrow night will be one of the best ever witnessed here for ten cents. The company arrived this morning and everything is in readiness for tonight's show. The lion is a real one, a great big African lion, and it requires some nerve for a young lady to enter his cage, but this will happen at the Star this evening. The company goes from here to Portland, where they appear at the opera house at regular opera prices. The Decatur people will get a big show' for ten cents. o — GILPEN, HYPNOTIST, COMING. Mr. Earling, ahead of the famous Gilpen, said to be the greatest hypnotist before the public today, was here today and arranged for the opera house for all next week, when they will appear here.
