Bntered at the postofflce at Decatur, Indiana, as second-elaas mall matter. Residents of South Mercer avenue, just north of the Erie railway, are beautifying their premises by the building of a cement wall, in front of the lawns. It adds much to the appearance of that part of the city and classes the owners as progressive, live citizens. The Indianapolis Star this morning devoted a half-column of its valuable space in discussing the danger of the democrats tearing themselves in twain over the selection of a president: .1 nominee. Os course there is no danger of such a thing widening the breach in the g. o. p. ranks. Perhaps it couldn't be any wider. The Star was kind enough to say, however, that Wilson. Clark. Harmon and Folk are individually popular. We want to add that Governor Marshall of Indiana is also popular, comes from the right state, and stands for the right things politically. Washington dispatches say that John A. M. Adair, congressman from this district, may decide to become a candidate for the governorship. We are for him, of course. While we believe that he can keep on going to congress from the Eighth, just as long as he wants to, and while we know that be is as able as any man who could be secured for the place, and while we know that he will favor all the legislation that will benefit the people of his district, we realize also that he would be a splendid servant for all the people of Indiana, an executive of whom the Eighth district would always be proud. The democracy of Indiana would certainly win under his leadership. FINE IMPROVED FARMS FOR SALE IN ASHTABULA COUNTV, 0. We have a nice list of farms for sa:e in Ashtabula county, Ohio.

Wednesday is the great feast of Por- ; tiuncula, a day of special indulgences, i and a feast observed throughout the ■ Catholic world. Portluncula is the name of a small, but one of the moat i famous chapels of today and situated near Assissi, Italy, becoming so on account of the memorable and singular indulgences which were obtained through the seraphic St. Francis ot Assissi, for its members in the year Os 1223. The privilege was first enjoyed by this church alone, but later extended to the religious of the Frani ciscan order, whose founder was St. Francis, and again later to the sisters of the same order. Some years later the indulgences were granted to all churches in charge of the Franciscan fathers and remained as such until a year ago. when by a special decree of the holy father, Pope Pius X, was granted to the Catholic world. At the St. Mary s church confession will be heard on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and in the evening at 7 o’clock, standard time. Wednesday morning the masses will be celebrated at 6 o'clock, sun time, and at 7:30 a plenary indulgence being granted to those complying with the intentions of the pope and making visits during the day to the church. — o - SECURES SPLENDID POSITION.

Harold Edwin, infant son of Charles and Fannie Nyffier. was born in Preble Adams county, on the twentieth day of February. 1910. He was baptized in the name of the triune God on the twenty-eighth of August, 1910. As a strong and healthy child he grew up to be a joy unto his parents. A little more than a week ago he took sick and in spite of good care the sickness developed. He grew weaker and weaker until he passed away last Wednesday evening. July 26, 1911. In our deepest bereavement we took up unto our Master, Jesus and say: "The Lord gave, the Lord hath taken away; blessed he the name of the Lord.” Those laughing eyes of thine, faitchild. God never wished to weep; Ere smiles had fled, the shadows fell, Os death’s long, silent sleep. o COURT HOUSE NEWS A marriage license was issued Sat- ' urday afternoon to Jesse O. Shafer, born December 28, 1883, a bookkeeper of Bluffton, to wed Minnie Leyse. born March 13, 1889, daughter of Dorus ' Leyse. Miss Lilah Lachot is assisting in | the county auditor’s office.

1 MILLER BROTHERS COMING. , Miller Brothers' 101 Ranch Wild b west is to be here on August 3rd, and - will bring with it the greatest con- , gress of natural riders that has ever t been assembled. They are men and 1 women who have become proficient in horseback riding, from being compelled to ride and are not of those who nave been taught In schools for riding. While they are all accomplished rid- • j ers, they do not consider riding an ac- .! compllshment, but on the contrary, a ‘ necessity. To them it has been a ne- •; cessity all their lives and the skill they t! have acquired has been acquired by I natural efforts and not by tutor. They i are not of the spangle bedecked riders, • who ride for applause, more than for 1 expert exhibition. Neither are their I horses confined to the see-saw gait r that makes riding more of a rocking- ■ chair exhibition. With the 101 Ranch i- it is natural riding at a pace that kills ■, and both horses and riders enter into . the sport with a vim that is positively invigorating. ’ j The cowboys, Indians Cossacks, > Mexicans, cowgirls, Senoritas, Arabs • j and cattle herders generally, have long been regarded as the leaders of - i the experts and all of these are among . the riders of the 10L Ranch Wild West show-. They ride as no others would I uare ride and with a naturalness that I •' is not only entertaining, but gives an . elegant opportunity to compare their ■ style with the cut and dried style of '. riding as adopted by the circus rider, j Beside these riders of the plains and • | prairies are tile cavalry of every na- j tion, who have learned to ride as part of their daily routine and drills in the various armies of the world. While in most instances their riding is more ; dignified, it is none the less finished ‘ and hazardous. Probably there is no class of riders j j that excite more interest than do the ! riders of the "outlaws,” ’a name that! the cowboys give the bucking horses, i ' Many are of the opinion that a bucking horse is taught to buck. This is ■ erroneous. They buck simply because ; they have not sense enough to do any- i thing else. EAST BUFFALO. East Buffalo, N. Y„ July 31—(Spec ; ial to Daily Democrat)— Receipts, 9. !
