The delegation of Indianapolis business men will be here tomorrow morning from 8:30 to 9:30. A bunch of Decatur business men will meet them at Fort Wayne and escort them to this city. Judge Remster has held the new constitution recommended by Governor Marshall a series of amendments, and therefore that the procedure is bad. Unless the supreme court holds otherwise, which is hardly probable, there will be no election on the law next year. I>et's clean up the old town before winter sets in. The health officers will probably soon fix a day for this important duty and every citizen should do his part. If you don’t take , a bath once in a while you will get filthy. If you don't clean up the premises now and then it’s just about as ' bad. Keep on plugging, boys, the community has a future. Although some days are dark and dreary and one feels that all his energy and time expended has been for naught, it all helps. Decatur is the best right now she has ever been. All the factories and shops are in operation, every man who wants work can get it at good wages, the farmers are prosperous, so keep on smilin’. "The Booster,” God bless him, he deserves to win. The man who in this day and age can boost right straight along, paying no attention to the ugly little remarks that are made about him, who, whether successful in getting everything he boosts for or not, keeps on at the game, trying to do something for the general good of the community and with perhaps but small reward possible for his efforts —why that fellow is a man. and a big, broad and brainy one. Call up ’phone 50 and we will reserve oysters for you. Holty’s Case. Democrat Want Ads Pay.

Rufus had just entered upon his first year of school work. He was much in love with his work and each morning was eager to get off in time to avoid being tardy. He was an obedient and gocdhearted child. He seemed to be careful that he might evade any danger, and yet so unexpectedly he met his early death. He leaves sorrowing parents. one brother, one sister, six halfbrothers. two half-sisters, many relatives and friends to mourn his early departure. Another little lamb is gone to dwell with Him who gave. Another little darling babe is sheltered in the grave. God needed one more angel child amid his smiling band, And so he bent with lowering smile, and clasped our darling’s hand. Funeral held at the Evangelical church Saturday, September 23, 1911, Rev. D.

“PAPA’S NEW WIFE.” This play, which was famous on the European stage, before it was brought to this country, is one of the most laughable and enjoyable of its kind on the modern stage, and ha* been a success from east to west. “Papa's New Wife," will appear at Bosse's opera house on Thursday, September 28, ■ in a series of complications, which becomes so bewildering as to swamp the audience in laughter, and at the same time tells the story most humorous in Its context. It does not depend upon any suggestions for its fun. but innocently develops its theme with a wealth of invention that fairly astounds in its briskness and brilliance. ‘ There are laughs from start to finish, I and the hilarity grows from scene to ■ scene. Many new musical numbers I and high-class vaudeville specialties are introduced throughout the play. . n — ATTEMPT TO ROB BANK. — (United Press Service.) Newark, N.
