Entered at the postoffice at Decatur, Indiana, as second-class mall matter. The city is contemplating the purchase of a small truck for the use of the city employees. A proposition from the local auto factory has been made, whereby the city would .not have to pay out any cash. With the electric and water department thus in style and an auto fire department, who could say that we had not kept step with the march of progress and civilisation ? A Chicago minister a year ago began a few vaudeville features, preluding his sermons with picture shows, colored minstrels, brass band parades, and special talks by a rabbi. The crowd liked it for a time, but last Sunday the preacher found his name rubbed from the church bulletin, and has been told to look for another job. Chicago, big, windy and foolish, likes I vaudeville, but rightly puts a kink in thia man’s extreme notions; which shows that Chicago is bad only in spots.—Muncie Star. While this season has been a busy one and there has been much building and improving of properties in Decatur, there is still much to do, and the next four or five months promises to be as good as were ever known here. On East Monroe street three new buildings are being erected, and the old Trout property rebuilt, the new city hall will soon be on its way, some improvements to the court house, including a new heating plant, will be begun within the next month, and additions to several factories should make things hum. Then the crops in Adams county are great this year and with the prices up, we should all be prosperous. —r— BORN TODAY. (United Press Service.)

Will Parent, proprietor of the Crystal theater, was well pleased today, when his hopes of several months were realized in his securing for presentation at the theater tonight, tlie Vitotraphic portrayal of “A Tale of Two Cities." from the novel by Chas. Dicekns. This announcement will ; come with great pleasure to all who j are lovers of Charles Dickens’ works, and especially of the historical and thrilling. The story is told in three | reels, this being one more reel than ' is ordinarily shown in an evening s entertainment. Besides this there will be two songs, for the musical part of the entertainment. The beginning of the thrilling story, embodied in the first reel, arouses our deepest feelings against the wrong suffered by the masses during one of the darkest periods of French history. The intensity of the second part increases with the unfolding of the plot, which reaches its climax in part three, in which is dis- ( played that “greater love than this j hath no man, to give his own life for another." Maurice Costello, the star ip the Vitagraph world, takes the leading part in the story. Everybody should see this great play. Tonight only. — EYE WAS REMOVED. Doctor J. M.
