Several new fronts for business houses in Decatur are being planned for the summer. It will add to the metropolitan appearance of the city. Whep w e get our new lights, and other improvements, everybody will have to fix up. “1 know a nature-fakir,” said Mr. Rene Bache, ‘who claims that a hen of his last month hatched, from a setting of seventeen eggs, seventeen chicks that had in lieu cf feathers, fur. He claimed that these fun-coated chicks were a proof of nature’s adaptation of all animals to their environment, the seventeen eggs having been of the cold-storage variety.” Brice McMillen of The Niblick store, store, had a lucky escape from a serious injury that might have resulted ill blindness. While in the cellar Tuesday afternoon, chopping some kindling sticks, one of the sticks became “unruly” and flew up, striking him on the left eye-lid. The eye-lid was cut, the stick penetrating it in such away that the eye-ball was scratched. Medical attenion given at once will doubtless I prevent and complication arising, and I j the eye-sight will not suffer in the least. When C. B. Andrews, county school' truant officer, called this morning on ' the Hungarian and Belgian families in Root township, near the site of the beet sugar plant, he was very cordially received, although he was unable to understand the litto of their language. He, however, made known to them that his visit was relative to the placing of the children in school, and was informed that they had been entered this morning in the St. Joseph’s Catholic schools. He was treated very kindly and found them tho best kind of people, the homes and all conditions being of the best. The house question in Decatur becomes more of a puzzle each day. Generally the people don't realize what it means to the people who have work here, but can’t find a house in which to move their family. If you were at this office most any day you would find it a very common occurrence to have some one begging for some place in which to live. The town cannot grow without more houses. It’s a good investment. There are several hundred people who own vacant lots in Decatur. If you haven’t got the money you can borrw it on your lot. Why not build? POLICE COURT NEWS. C. S. Cramer, the South wand school principal, who has been in the police court on a charge of assault and battery, which is the outgrowth of a punishment inflicted on a scholar, was acquitted in the mayor's court Tuesday night. The trial has attracted considerable attention, as it is the first one of its kind for nearly twenty-five years. The examination of witnesses was practically concluded Monday evening and several were used by the prosecution in rebuttal Tuesday night, following which the citing of cases and argument was had. After a careful consideration of the case, the mayor decided for acquittal. WANTED —To buy second hand cook stove; inquire this office. 63t3*
