By the way the list does not i include many editors. The fair managers are busy these 1 days, distributing advertising. It takes | a lot of work to put on a fair, and it , is done without profit, so every fellow | ought to make it his business to ! boost such an enterprise. The busy housewife is in the midst of the pickle, plum, apple, pear and peaoh canning season, and for the next : month, will have about all she cares to | tackle. This is not a warning exacti ly, but- you better be careful. The "bull fight" at the Star theater last evening was the funniest reel seen in Decatur for many a day and the people who saw it, young and old, could be heard for a block as they gave vent to their merriment. Dr. J. Q. Neptune drove to the Mej Gill home in Paulding county, Ohio, Sunday, where he paid his respects to his old friend. Frank Sugar, who died Friday, aged sixty-two.

Lotridge, the barber who has i been employed by Marsh Burdg, fo'' i the past three weeks, vanished from ■ our midst last Sunday morning and . since then nothing has been heard of his whereabouts.

Harvey Patterson, North Jefferson I stret resident, who recently underj went an operation for the amputation i of his left leg, is in a serious condi- ' tion and his death is believed to be only a question of time. The ganj grene affection has spread to the I other leg and the patient is again suf- : sering intense pain.—Hartford City I News. The board of commissioners has I made a new agreement with Contrac- ! tor Amos Fisher to comply with the or- ' der of the city council that the new ' walk on the south side of the court I house be twelve feet in width, instead I of six. Work was resumed this mornI ing, Mr. Fisher to receive the same I price as in the previous contract, i twelve cents per square foot. The ; walk on the west side will probably ' not be built at this time. Dr. George B. Young, who inspects ice cream plants in Illinois, said that the condition in some plants was simply abominable. Samples of all the cream manufactured in Chicago I were taken and the result of the ani alysis of these samples will be made i public. The Chicago officials are fig-' - tiring on preparing an ordinance which will control the manufacture i of ice cream and make the conditions | in the plants absolutely sanitary. They | should try Center’s if they want pure I stuff. A small explosion occurred at the I Berne Hardware company’s store Sat-j urday afternoon. As Herbert Sprung- I er was doing some soldering on the | second floor, the soldering stove, filled I with gasoline, leaked and caught fire, I whereupon Herbert threw it out of the I window in the rear. Albert Neuen-! schwander happened upon the scene and was going to push the burning stove farther away into the alley, when I it exploded, knocking him down and | inflicting some burns on one arm. ■ Herbert also suffered some small | burns.—Berne Witness.

Li ’ . i Mrs. James S. MacCullough. mor. t ! familiarly known to the world as Myrtle Reed, the author, committed . I suicide Friday at her home in Chicago by taking veronal, a poison.

Mrs. Jeff Bryson of this city left , Monday morning on an extended trip I through the east, first going to Berk--3 ley Springs, a West Virginia summer resort, where she is the guest of Mrs. t Will Johnson and Mrs. Will Herbert, who are holding a house party. Ai'tr er her visit at Berkley Springs Mrs. ! Bryson wil spend the remainder of the summer visiting many points in the east, particularly Washington r D. C„ and Baltimore and also Youngs 3 : town, Ohio. —Portland Sun. a' r i The building of mausoleums in various cities in Ohio, taking the place of cemeteries, seems to be gaining in e favor and it is predicted that the time , is arriving when such resting places I for the dead will supercede all the olde fashioned graveyards. Many people ( have a horror of being placed beneath p the sod and thjs is the cause for the popularity of the mausoleum, whicn is built of steel and cement and will Stand for centuries. The caskets are r placed in air tight vaults and are thus . preserved as long as the building . stands. s Earl Deeter and his wife committed ; suicide in New lake, near Columbia s City, Sunday afternoon and their bod ies were recovered Monday. Both , were ill with tuberculosis and were forced to separate about two months , ago, each going to the parents’ home. Sunday Deeter called for his wife and , asked him to gotfvith her to get water lilies. It is supposed that while on the lake, the idea came to them to end all their sufferings by a double suicide. It is a very' sad case. The couple were married four years and leave one little son.
