They will hear adresses by prominent men, from all over the country, and the proposition of framing a new law will be presented to the coming session of the legislature will be discussed. The death of Mrs. Eddy of Boston has started a discussion as to whether or not the Christian Science church will live or die. Mrs. Eddy was a wonderful woman and more so if on her alone depended the sole existence of a church organization, with many hundred thousand members. Mrs. Eddy was ninety years old. Christian Eicher, newly elected county commissioner, is attending the present session of the board, picking up such information regarding his duties as possible. He acts well in the harness and we predict that he will be a popular and efficient officer. Martin Laughlin will complete his services this month. He has served the county well and his record is equal to that ! of any man who ever acted in the capacity of commissioner in Adams county. Congressman Adair announces that i he will during the present term make , a specialty of inquiring into methods , for reducing governmental expenses, i He believes in economy along those I lines. He talked it during the cam-

This week will be a ; Big Week in the Men’s Clothing Store Many men will buy themselves aChristmas present of a Overcoat, Suit or Raincoat this week: others will buy clothing as a gift to somebody else. Whichever of these divisions you may come under, this clothing store will be amply ready to serve you, with Men’s Clothing of Quality, fairly priced. THE MYERS—DAILEY CO.

paign, has always argued it, and he is now going to make it his business to see that the next session of congress which will be democratic, carries out those promises. The people of the Eighth district have the right to be proud of Mr. Adair. He is honest, and when he tells the people he will do something, during the campaign, he does not forget it after his election. His vote during the past three elections is proof that the people api predate that quality. MERCER STREET IS NEARLY COMPLETE Kelleher & Company do Not Stop For Small Obstacles —Going Ahead The Mercer street improvement, is nearing completion. A few more days will have seen the last brick laid and the thoroughfare, one of the most important which leads into this city, will be opened. Mr. Kelleher and his men have been steadily at work and his perserverence, is to be complimented. At present it is necessary for them to scrape the snow away. This is being done clean and the work of making the grade and laying the brick is going on as rapidly as possible. Just at present a few more men are needed and they can secure work by applying on the street. The pavement is completed with the exception of about a block and this will probably be finished within a week. Mr. Kelleher has proven himself to be a capable and honest contractor who does as he agrees and while it seemed almost impossible that he should complete the street this fall, it looks now as though he will be able to do it. ■ ■ o AND THE PLATE MOVED. So Did Wade —Neat Trick Played on Unsuspecting Boy. Wade Meyers cannot resist telling a good joke on himself. Last week bis sister, who is studying to be a nurse, together with two classmates, visited at the Meyers home south of the city and they resolved to play a joke on Wade. They secured a small rubber pillow to which was attached a long j tube and bulb. The small pillow was | placed under Wade’s plate at the table ,the hidden tube leading away ro 1 some convenient hand, which pressed ‘ the bulb just as Wade sat down. He noticed the plate move as though with spirit wings, and thought he wat getting sick or that his mind was playing him false. Again and again the plate moved, and Wade, who was now convinced that he had gone wrong, got up from the table to hie far away from the maddening crowd. He was greeted with great bursts of laughter, however, and the explanation of the joke soon set his fears at rest. PUBLIC SALE.

Miss Edith Miller this morning received a telegram from her cousin, Joseph Brown, of Toledo, stating that his wife, Mrs. Brown, had died. The message contained nothing but the death notice, and gave nothing as to the nature of her illness or the time of death. Mr. Brown was a former Decatur young man, having been born and raised here. About three years or so ago, he, with his brother, went, to Toledo, where he engaged in the restaurant business, and in August was united in marriage, the ceremony having been performed without informing his friends here, and surprising them. He has a large circle of friends here who will be much grieved to learn of this misfortune which has befallen him. The funeral services will take place Tuesday morning from the Catholic church at that place.
