■ ' “THE GIRL IN THE TAXI.” I ■ “The Qirl in the Taxi," which comes to the Bosse theater for an engagement of tonight only, was first produced in Paris under the title "Le Fils a Papa," which might be rendered, •‘Like Papa Like Son.” The piece created one of the greatest sensations the French metropolis has ever known and ran for more than one thousand nights. It was originally written by Anthony Mars, the past master in the are of tintrigue. The American adaptation was made by Stanislaus Stange | and holds the record for the long runs I of any similar play in New York, ChiI cago and Boston. The locale has been ! changed from Paris to New York, but I the play retains all the humor and atI raosphere of midnight life, which I made it so popular abroad. Mars, the author, has long been ; known here and in Europe for his vlever and amusing entertainments, lie was only twenty-one, when in connection with Bisson, he write “Surprises of Divorce," and although he will not reach half-century for another twelve-month, he has to his credit an (average of a play a year. In the author’s opinion, “The Girl j | in the Taxi,” is by far the cleverest I - and funniest piece credited to his I *4 facile pen. It contains more wit and I I humor, more interesting and amusing ' I characters, and more ludicrous, yet j possible complications and embarass- ! ments than half a dozen of his other & plays combined. t ■ u — NOTICE. 5 Notice is hereby given that the unj dersigned trustees of the School City > of Decatur, Indiana, will offer for sale j at public auction, at the law office of 1 f Dore B.

J. Bumgarner, railroad agent at I ■ Cheshire, Ohio, writes the Leah MediI cin» company, under .date of NovemI ber 4th: "I cannot express my appreI: elation of your kindness in sending I me your 49 General Tonic. My wife I has taken it since March and our docI tor would not believe that she could 3 improve as--she has. She ha§ gained ■' seventeen pounds and is feeling fine, - hut is hungry all the time. Life is I worth living with 49 in the house. 49 I has become a by-word to us. We use it for everything—colds, coughs, pains —anything that ails us. We run for 49 Tonic. ' Mr. Vickers wants three 1 bottles, and I am sending you $3.00 so please send me six bottles by exi press.” The above is a copy of Mr. Bumgarner’s letter. His wife has been sick tor five years, and 49 Tonic made her a well woman in six montl|s which her doctor failed to do in five years.

OBITUARY. I Martha Ann Vail camo of New England parentage, her father, Solomon Shepard, being born in ' rrthampton, Hampshire county, Mass., and her mother’s parents in the same state. Her mother, Lucy Woodward, was born in Northampton county, Pa. Her parents, who w’ere married March 30, 1805, at Westfield, Chautauqua county, ; New York, moved westward with the tide of emigration and settled in GalI lia county, Ohio, near Gallipolis where Martha Ann Shepard was born | September 7. 1823, being the youngest jof a family of seven children. She reI celved an education while in the home of her parents, beyond her years, and j became a teacher in the public schools j of that period, until she met and mar- ! ried Thomas Vail in Bucyrus, Crawi ford county, Ohio, February ", 1840, he being one year her senior, born j May 23, 1822, in Richland county, | Ohio. They lived first on their farm ; I at Bucyrus. Ohio, where three chil- ■ dren, Margaret, Solomon N., and, | Ephraim A., were born, and where the | eldest child, in infancy, died. They I j then moved to lipper Sandusky, Ohio,; I where Angelina w r as bom .March 27, i f 1853. In December, 1853, they moved | ; to Fort Wayne, Ind., their trip being | 1 accompanied with much fatigue, as they were compelled to journey bv stage much of the way in the absence of railroad facilities, as there were no ■ ] railroads entering Fort Wayne at that ' time. During their residence in Fort 1 Wayne Sarah E. was born June 19, 1856. They lived a number of years in Fort Wayne, where her husband. who was a civil engineer and railroad 1 i contractor, assisted in building the . different railroads out of Fort Wayne. April 25, 1858, they moved to Ossian, Wells county, Ind., to take charge of the toll gate, and where he entered the I cooperage business, all of his sms 1 following him in this business except 1 Solomon N., who entered the gospel, ( ministry of the Presbyterian church. 1 At Ossian, John W.. Joseph M., Lucy 1 J. and Aaron T. were born, and where ' her husband died, August 23, 1869. I Mother Vail, as she was familiarly < known among her neighbors, occupied the old home at Ossian, surrounded by her children thirty-nine years after her husband’s death, until old age I compelled her to surrender her home 1 and live with her youngest daughter, 1 Mrs. Daniel Sprang, in Decatur, Ind., < where she has resided over three 1 years, and to which place her widely 1 scattered children have flocked to see >' their loving, aged mother as oppor j 1 tunity offered, and where she has had ’ every care that a loving daughter could bestow. She has long been a member of the Presbyterian church of i Ossian, and with her death the oldest I member of the congregation is gone, , for she was in her eighty-ninth year.! She entered her reward at the home of I her daughter. November 6, 1911, after i a prolonged illness superinduced by I declining years and waning strength, j By nature she was a very strong woman in every way and within a few minutes of her final departure to our Father's house retained her remark- i , able faculties and vigor of mind. She is survived by seven children, fifteen [ grandchildren and four great-grand-I children. Her daughter, Angeline, wife of Thomas Wasson, preceded her . in death Februarv 8, 1885. Her final . I i testimony was “Glory, Hallelujah! | , Glory, I am going home.” i , When clapping her hands as if in i . great expectancy and delight she. . winged her' way upward. "Thou | , shall come to thy grave in a full age, ! like a shock of corn cometh in his season.” The funeral was held Satur day morning, November 11, at 9 o’clock at the home of the daughter, Mrs. Dan Sprang, in this city, the | services being conducted by the Rev. I Semans of’jthe Methodist church, as-1 sisted by the Rev. W. 11. Gleiser of the i Presbyterian church and was beauti- j fully appropriate to the life of this' lovely woman. The Rev. Semans took i as his text, “And her children shptl rise up and call ber blessed,” a truth : that found sincere accordance in the! ; hearts of all her children, all of whom, i with their families, were in attendance at the service. The music was . er .ecialiy beautiful, given by the la- ■ dies’ quartet, comprising Mosdames J. . C. Patterson, P. B. i nomas, B. J. Rice • and C. L. Walters, who sang the favor- • ite hymns, so dear to Mrs. Vail, one “Rock of Ages,” being especially beau- ■ tlful. At 10 o’clock the cortege left ; for her former home at Ossian, whei'e . the interment took place in the fam- > ily lot in the cemetery there, beside the graves of Mrs. Vail’s husband and their daughter. The casket was opened at the cemetery also, that her former friends and neighbors, who were not able to attend the funeral, might i be given the privilege of a last look at : their beloved friend. Mrs. Vail’s sons acted as pall bearers. After the service there the children and their families and others of the funeral party i gathered at the old Vail homestead, i where the neighbors had prepared dinner for them, and where there was a last sad reunion at the old home.
