We Sympathize With the Women ....who have trouble with their feet. A woman told me yesterday that she had tried all kinds of remedies recommended for sore and tired feet but that the most relief she ever got was out of our Tenderfoot Shoe. These are made of soft but plump kid uppers, low, short vamps making them easy to get into, have belting soles almost as flexible as rubber, bends with the foot. If you,ve had trouble getting a shoe that you could wear, try a pair of these. $3.00 and $3.50 Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

WAS GRAND SIGHT. Knights of Columbus Line of March on Easter Waa Great. Quite an Impressive ceremony was that witnessed at the 6 o'clock solemn high mass at the St. Mary’s church on Easter Sunday, when the Knights of Columbus, numbering upwards of one hundred and thirty members, attended mass together and received holy communion In a body. Another inspiring scene was that at the elevation when the Decatur assembly of the fourth degree of (he local council, No. 864, performed a greater manifestation of their faith when in the forming of a human cross was made and the salute with bayonet at the elevation of the sn cred host. This solemn and impressive act not only received the approval of the home council, but was sanctioned by the master, the Honorable Joseph McGowan, of Indianapolis. This was the first demonstration of its kind to be held by any of the various councils Os the state and the local members are receiving much praise for the high respect which was shown on Sunday last.

McCarty formerly preached in this city. —o ANOTHER CAR OUT. Big Decatur Truck Makes Them Ail Look Aroun°.

The car will be taken at once to its destination at Kendallville, another city, where the famous “Decatur Car” has gained an earned reputation. oYOUNGSTOWN MAN’S CRIME. (United Press Service.) Youngstown, Ohio, April 18 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Fearing that approaching blindness would make it impossible for him to support his family, Grant Rickerd, a plumber, today took an axe, murdered his wife and four children, and badly maimed a fifth child. He then blew out his own brains with a revolver. The victims are his wife, aged 45; Pearl, aged 8; Raymond, aged 5; Clarence, aged 11, and Helen, aged 15. After slaying the five with the axe, Rickerd then fired several bullets into their bodies. SCOTTISH RITE RING. Judge J. T. Merryman is always happy, but more so today than usual —all because of a handsome Christmas present, which he has just received, the same having been made to order. It is a handsome ring, a gift from his wife and children, and embodied in it are all the emblems of the thirty-second Masonic or Scottish Rite degree, surrounding a solitaire diamond. It is a beauty and highly prized by Judge Merryman, not onlv for its intrinsic value, which is great, but because of that which it signifies. Dorsey Hoagland, who has been quite sick with typhoid fever for some time, is improving, and it Is thought will soon be able to sit up. The nurse will probably leave tomorrow. o — EGGS WANTED. The demand for eggs is unusually large at this season of the year. We want all you can scrape up this week. 150 cash, 16c in trade. Bring 'em in. FULLENKAMP'S. o — NOTICE.

“THEM” HENDERSON KIDS. To Give First Class Performance at Opera House This Evening. Manager Boss© and the management of “Them" Henderson Kids company, which appear herethis evening, were surprise© indeed to know the demand for seats for tonight. Evidently the people of this city know of the fun-making ability of Charles Gardner and his all-star company. There are three acts in the play. The first act starts the love story; also the fun that the kids and the audience have with uncle Ben (Charles Gardner). There Is not one line or situation in the play that is not clean and wholesome, but at the same time the funniest of all funny plays. The demand for seats would indicate that the people of this city wish to show their appreciation to Manager Bosse for securing this high-class attraction for the first show after Easter. The prlceß are so low that you cannot afford to miss It. 25c, 35c and 50c. MRS. ALLISON HOME. Mrs. R. K. Allison, who was operated upon four weeks ago at the St. Joseph hospital, Fort Wayne, has recovered sufficiently that she was able to be brought home Monday afternoon. She has done remarkably well and while she is not strong enough to be up yet, she is getting along very well, indeed.
