Entered at tbe postoßlce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. The office of the township trustee is being moved from the Stone block where it formerly was located to the suite of rooms in the interurban building on the second floor. No reason was assigned for the change. L. L. Gilpen and mother of Portland were visiting over Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. J. W’. Merriman. The flowery eloquence of Congressman Dalzell of Pittsburg, standpatter extraordinary and a perpetual defender of the saintly tariff, sometimes runs up against a snag of facts. In his speech in the house the other day Mr. Dalzell spoke of Pennsylvania’s "myriad of workingmen in the receipt of the highest wages paid any workingmen on earth, all of it a shining exemplar of the beneflcient results of the system of protection.” Before he repeats this statement before a critical and inquiring audience the Pittsburg tariff champion should get the census bureau to edit and revise its statistics. The census bureau’s statistics of manufactures issued in 1905, the latest available, fail to bear out Mr. Dalzell's contention that Pennsylvania’s tariff protected workmen are the highest paid of any. The figures show that Pennsylvania’s 763,282 wage earners enjoyed the aggregate wages of $367,960,890, an average for each of $482 per year, or $9.26 a week. New York's 856,947 wage earners were at the same time paid $430,014,851, which is $501.66 per year or $9.60 a week for each, 34 cents per week more than was earned by the tariff-protected Pennsylvanians. Coincidentally Minnesota’s 96,636 wage-earners got $35,843.145, an average of $5lO a year or $9.80 a week for each, or 54 cents SUMMtR UNDERWEAR - , □VERY man differs in L height, breadth length of arm, length of leg, size of chest and of waist Tobe certain that you get your exact fit in Underwear let us size you carefully.

HE IS TOO WEAK To Have Operation at Present—Mrs. Ed Chronister Under Nurse’s Care. Mrs. Lase Ellis and son, Rolla, and daughter, Eleanor, went to Ft. Wayne this morning to call on Mr. Ellis at the St. Joseph hospital. An operation has been deemed necessary, but Mr. Elli» >s at present too weak to stand the ordeal and it is not known just how soon this will be performed. Mrs. Ellis will probably remain several days with her husband. Rolla Ellis returned today noon and stated that his father is suffering much pain and is not so well as when he went to the hospital. Mrs. Martin Keifer of Preble township, who several weeks ago underwent on operation at the home of Dr. D. D. Clark for several complaints, has improved to such a stage that she will be removed to her home the latter part of the week. The nurse who has been attending her will leave Wednesday and she is at present able to sit up. and is feeling exceptionally well. Mrs. J. T. Baker, who has been quite seriously sick for some time from a complication of diseases, is worse and this afternoon her children were summoned to her bedside. A trained nurse arrived today from Fort Wayne to care for Mrs. Ed Chronister of south of the city, who is sick with what seems to be typhoid fever, though it is hoped that this can be broken. Mrs. Sarah Cochran, who has been suffering with lagrippe for a week or j more, is still 'slowly improving and will, before long, enjoy her usual good health. Jacob Hess is still quite ill from the stroke of paralysis which he suffered on last Friday, but slightly better. He is still helpless in the arm afflicted, and his improvement is noticed slowly. o • PLANTS FOR SALE. Early cabbage and tomatoes at 6c per dozen at Werder Sisters.
