DECATUR MARKETS It is with pride that we call attention to the tact that the grain men and merchants of this city are this year paying more for grain and produce than any of the towns or cities in this locality. We have always contended that it could be done and are more than glad of the privilege to announce that it is now being done. A well known lady of this city, who owns | a number of farms and markets her products at four different places over . the state, has informed us that Decatur is paying one cent more for oats than any of the others. The price at Converse, Ind., is thirty-five cents, at Winchester and Peru, thirty-six, while here it is thirty-seven. Investigation as to prices paid at Marlon, Wabash, Monroeville and various other places shows that our market is the best, and | this does not mean on oats alone, but j on other products as well. No one j thing helps a city niore than good. markets, and whatever the cause may j be, it Is welcome. The fact that we I are paying more for grain and produce is not the result of any fight, but apparently simply a desire to pay the top price. It has been true all season and will continue so. Farmers should get the, price from Decatur elevators and merchants before hauling their goods elsewhere, for it will pay them to come here, the best town in the state, where you get more for your stuff, and where your dollar buys more than anywhere else. With the packing house open, furnishing a market for stock, with the best horse market in the world here, and now with the elevators paying the very top-notch, this town should look good to every farmer. TRADE IN DECATUR. One Colonel Liller is said to be or- , ganizing Indiana democrats for Governor Wilson. Who this Colonel Liller is, where he comes from and how he acquired his military title, are all matters of mystery. Vague and uncertain rumors is that he has his habitat in the corrupt and contented commonwealth of Pennsylvania and that he conferred upon himself the military distinction for gallant and meritorious conduct in working the Spanish-Amer-ican veterans after the close of that bloodless conflict. This, however, is purely speculative. A better and more illuminating theory is that the colonel is like unto the winds of heaven, in that no man knoweth from whence he cometh and whither he goeth. But it is no speculation to say that whoever he Is and whatever he is, the colonel is on full pay. He is no orchid. He subsists on something heavier than air. In his hypical self there is noth-

ing in the colonel's make-up to suggest the etheral; there is much to suggest that he la of the earth, earthy. ! Hence the Irresistible conclusion. Nor 1 1 Is the colonel's physical perfection out !of keeping with his mental accom- | plishment. A man who can successfully pull off a great mass meeting, atI tended by three people, elect officers i 1 and adopt resolutions, presented and i signed by men wbo were not present i and who promptly repudiated them, 1 such a man bears the unmistakable ' mark of greatness. The colonel may be and doubtless is a political soldier , of fortune, but he is undeniably a I peach, somewhat over ripe, perhaps, but still a peach.—Columbia City Post. State Chairman Lee is conducting a canvass asking for his re-election as chairman of the state republican committee. Personally, there is little objection to Mr. Lee, but if he is really declaring, as alleged, that ex-Govern-or Durbin and other old-line republileans “committed an unpardonable sin" last year by clinging to their ancient ideals of the republican party instead of swallowing the Beveridge insurgent doctrines, he will make a sorry 'figure as a harmonizer. —Huntington i Times <Rep.) Once in a while you hear it said that tariff tinkering is the cause of tariff depression. Why? If the tariff is wrong, if the people are being robbed i to satisfy corporate greed, must that greed be fed and the people suffer? ; Dare not there be any relief planned? 1 Are we as a nation thus under the I heels of these corporations? If all this is true what is the cause of troui ble from tariff legislation? Is it those I who now seek to aid the people, or is it those who for years have passed the tariff legislation which has matured and fattened the trust and corporations?—The Hammond News. Fred Rinehart, formerly city editor of the Bluffton News, and since connected with papers at Crawfordsville, Indianapolis, Logansport, Montpelier and other places in Indiana, died at Van Buren Tuesday night. He loved the newspaper game and was one of , the most proficient members of the profession among the younger men. So devoted was he that after finally being compelled to give up the work he loved, he opened a little office of his own at Van Buren, where he worked for his own amusement. He was not only clever but popular and the “boys” all ovfer northern Indiana will drop a tear as they hear of the news that “thirty is in for Fred." TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. Decatur.

WAS BOLD AFFAIR 11 Three Cleveland Youths Attempt Robbery of Store i 1 I After Reading 1 • _ TRASHY LITERATURE . Officer Was Shot as He Tried to Enter Building— Mr. Spies on Scene. A bold robbery which took place at Cleveland, Ohio, on Sunday morning, ’ by three young desperadoes, resulted in the shooting of Patrolman Ralph j Jaeckel as he tried to make entrance ( to the building, where the robbery , was goeflg on. Just as he entered the , building one of the boys fired, the shot! entering the officer's breast, and he - is now lying in a hospital in a serious , condition. The officer being so seri- ] , ously injured, kept his presence of mind, firing into the dark, where the i fads were, and in turn injured one of 1 the robbers by shooting him in the : spine, felling him. Detective Julius Spies, known to many here, was on the scene afterwards and after the I ; capture of those who had robbed the I • store they stated that they had reached the life they were leading from reading dime novels and other trashy literature, which brought their thoughts to act, ending in robbery. Ail of Cleveland was worked up over the affair, owing to their youthful years, and as their capture had be,en made, perhaps at the cost of an officer’s life, it is believed that they will at least be ■ brought to a halt. The Cleveland paper contains a photo of Mr. Spies, along with the other detectives and the youthful robbers.
