CLOSED ON SATURDAY John Schafer the New Proprietor—Took Possession at Once. Decatur people witnessed another change in business circles this morning when the pool room formerly owned and run by Ed Johnson, was turned over to a new owner. John Schafer, a former business man here. The deal has been on for several days and was brought to a close late Saturday, and when the doors were thrown open this morning the new proprietor had already taken possession. It is just abount one year since Mr, Johnson opened this stand and since that time has enjoyed a liberal patronage, owing to the efficient manner in which he has conducted his business. Mr. Schafer, the new proprietor, is well known to all, having a wide circle of friends, who, without doubt, will liberally patronize him. Mr. Schafer has been working at Fort Wayne for soipe time, is a hustler, and will get down to business at once. Mr. Johnson, who retires, has nothing in view at present as to what he will do, but will not remain idle for any length of time. o PNEUMONIA FOLLOWS A COLD.

IS A TOTAL LOSS Insurance for Small Amount Carrid, But Will Not Cover Loss. Late Friday night the home of Earl Thrailkill. a farmer living three and one-half miles south-east of the city caught fire and was totally destroyed. About ten o’clock the neighbors noticed a bright light over towards the Thrailkill home and after investigation they found the house a mass of flames with the exception of the summer kitchen which was built on the back of the house. Mr. Thrailkill was away from home, he coming to Decatur in the afternoon and Mrs. Thrailkill and the children were visiting with neighbors until he called for them on his way home. The first intimation they had of their loss was when they came in sight of the smould. ering ruins of their home. All their clothing as well as their household goods was destroyed, only a washing machine and a few jars being saved from the buring building. The house was small, having three rooms besides the kitchen, one story in heighth. Insurance was carried for two-hun-dred and fifty dollars but it is not sufficient to cover the loss. The loss will be keenly felt by the family and the sympathy of the neighbors is being shown in a practical way. Mr. Thrall--1 kill is a hard-working and industrious man and is well and favorably known by many people in this part of the county, who sincerely sympathise with him in this, his time of trouble.

SOCIETY DOINGS Mr. and Mrs. Earl Butler Entertain Company at Dinner. THE CHRISTIAN AID Will Meet With Mrs. A. Hoffman—Other Social and Club Mention. Abraham Lincoln. He grows no further from us with the years; Rather, time draws him closer; and our tears Well free as though ’twere yesterday he died, Spreading a cureless sorrow nationwide. All of the things that can be have been said: “Fathomless eyes,” “kind lips and craggy head,” “Quaint humor,” “awkward figure monstrous tall” — Yet that remains which none say at all. The mystic in him—who may lend it name The charm of him that gave him more than fame? Scarce human seems the person that might doubt him; And none may read, dry eyed, ten lines about him. —Strickland Gillilan. CLUB CALENDAR FOR WEEK. Monday. Ruth Circle Valentine Social —Ben Hur Hall.
