THE POWER OF j ! A SUGGESTION Uncle Sam Tells Newleyweds Interesting Story About Home People. , j Grace and Jack were simply good ' chums- They loved the same sports, : read .the same books, were interested 5 in the same subjects and disagreed on most of them, which made the:’ conversation piquant. They allowed no sentimental nonsense to inter; e;e with their delightful comradeship. ' They called it Platonic friendship. ; Grace was reading to Jack an adver- . tisement of a jewelry store, which , said tha tit was "just the place to buy engagement rings." Jack took in the full force of the suggestion and said earnestly, "I will buy the • finest ring Jle has In his shop if you , will wear it, Grace." Why, Ja -k! I —yours —lthought-—well till- balance 1 of file conversation was gasny, Any way it produced results, for Jack bought a beautiful engagement ring . and when he placed it on Grace's finger she said: "It is Just tco tdVely for anything." A short time after Jack bought a wedding ring. Just before the wedding, Grace received n le’trr from her Uncle Sam in Decatur, Ind. “I am glad that you and Jack have ' recovered from your Platonic hallucination and discovered true han; >- ness in mutual affection," wrote Uncle Sam. “As a reward for your sanity 1 will make you a wedding present of a furnished house, if you and Jack will make your home in the “Sweetest Little City in the Hoosier State." The flolland-St. Louis Sugar company is building in Decatur, the first beet sugar factory in Indiana at a cost of nearly $1,000,000. This means future prosperity for Adams county and Decatur. For Adams county, for it will develop the best paying product of the farm; 5,000 acres of beets have already been contracted for. To Decatur, for the money payed for this product will be largely spent in our city. If the beet sugar industry is encouraged it will eventually furnish the country with sugar, and the money paid for raw materials will stay at home. Adams county is the auto owner s Paradise, for it contains over 500 miles of macadam roads. Adams ■ county is one of the richest and most i productive counties in the state. Land j is worth from $125 to S2OO an acre. There is no waste land in the county. Decatur is the logical place for the farmers to trade, for the merchants I are progressive and wide-awake, and in qualities of goods sold and prices asked are able to meet all their wants. Anything in this world that is done, ; well is worth talking about. Doing the best you can —then letting the world I know w hat you can do, is the motto j of the successful business man. Decatur has seven miles of brick I streets, five miles of stone streets and | fifty-five miles of brick and cement I sidewalks. Adams county maintains I in Deeatur a model hotel for the aci commodarion of the county’s guests, i The genial landlord. Tom Durkin, takes good care of them and keeps I them safely. This hotel contains all i the modern imnrovements and there i is a bar in every room. Decatur boasts of a fine court house, municipal water and electric plant, : a rfew dtv halt, a motor fire apparati us costing ’5,000. a magnificent lil brary. high and graded schools and , ; - churches. Decatur is the largest horse market [ .in Indiana. The trade In horses 1 . amonut to $1,000,000 a year. They range ] ,iom the dainty roadstqr to the mag- ; nificent dray horse, Weighing a ton. Many of these are sold to different fire departments. One of the largest stock farms in Indiana is located near Decatur, devoted to the breeding of j mrorted Belgian and Percheron draft ■ ’’orses. Deeatur is the home of the White Stag and John Adair cigars. There is also a large harness manuarturing establishment, also a glove factory. Through railroads cross the city, giving ample shipping facilities, and we ought to have more manufacturing; let us hustle and secure it. Decatur is fortunate in having a .newspaper that works for its interest all the time—the live Democrat. The newjvweds accepted the generous offe , ‘'of Uncle Sam, and in due time arrived in Decatur, where they were entertained at Uncle Sam's house. “I have bought a lot for the new house through rhe Bowers Realty Co., ' Monroe St., leading real estate dealers • i : n Adams county," said Uncle Sam. i ! ”1 know I received full value for m> | mmev, for they said so. My bank rcll ■ has been increasing by taking their i Myfee on real eatate invest-v-nta. ' They ar* conceded to be the best au- : ■ thority on the value of city nnd eoun- ' ’’v rrope. ti in Adams county. They j dc-tl in fam lands, extensively and | dersthnd the aria, lability ot s-.irb i farm Its exact value. They have i now on h— ' f > ' n- *<• yei ’ letter both in cultivar u farm? ! city property. The Sehirmeyer Abj street company gave me an abstract of title to the property and I know l it was absolutely correct, for their i method of search is so perfectly accur- ; etc that there is not the slightest*pos- [ sibility of error. They own a com- ; plete set of abstract books of Adams I county. Never buy any property, I ’nek. without having the Sc.hlnaeyer ; Abstract company thoroughly search ; the records for you. for the sligniest ; flav- in the title, or the smallest error | ‘n recording may involve you in years ’’’ litigation and endless annoyances. j if they give you an.abstract of title, 1 von need not worry. The Bowers 1 Fealty company is reliable, and careful loaners of money, and they have gained the confidence of lender and borrower. The wonderful development of agricultural lands in Adams I county has been the result of money loaned on good security. This is where capital and labor work in bar- ; mony for paying off the mortgage; has been the incentive for many a farmer to achieve glorious success. “After considering the question In

all its phases 1 have concluded to use * concrete blocks in the erection of the j new house," said Uncle Sam to the ! newlyweds. Concrete within the last I lew years has won for itself a leading position in the building material world. It's greatness lies in the fact that it is everlasting. Concrete makes the most solid foundation as well as . handsome, substantial houses, being dry, warm and absolutely fireproof. The leading factory in this section, devoted to the manufacture of this new building material is known us Acker's Cement Works, along tee t. Wayne & Springfield Railway, not ’’. I of the city. It has been a success ■ irom the first and the many ornamental and imposing buildings in Decatur and vicinity built of concrete blocks manufactured by Mr. Acker, demonstrates the fact that the build- ' ers and contractors consider concrete the ideal building materiay. Any architectural plan can be duplicated ' and ornamented in any style. Acker'I Cement Works makes a specialty of porch material and columns of all J ' sizes that possess the solidity es gran- ; ite. Now that people are P r - arir.: 1 I for spring by beautifying lawns and , I cemetery lots they should sect:? u. n- ') and vases made at Acker's C ■ iien: ! Works They are ornamental, m e; ; I rust, will last forever and are ch. ’ I A.cker’s Cement Warks alro m;ii.. - [ beautiful memorials. They will create ; any d: sign desued. The Acker Ce i merit Works can make anyt'iir.g re I quired in concrete or cement. "An important man In the lomaiuu-; ity is the plumber,’' said Uncle Sam. I "His knowledge of sanitary plum l :in.'.’, | perfect apparatus for heating mid i proper ventilation of all :>’’a: iinents ' makes his work effective and the modern home is an abode of health: r nsequently good cheer prevails. 'e ' will give this contract to P. J. Hyland, : 222 y.lcnroe street. He has eve’ ’ fa cility. the best equipment, the la”gest assortment of the latest imp: . -cd [ articles in his line and employs only | skilled mechanics. Ke is an expert Eteam and gas fitter. In Installing steam and hot water systems bis work is flawless. He installs water pressure systems in country homes. This gives the residents of rural districts the same advantage that citv homes enjoy, besides it is protection against fire and lowers his ins l rence rates. Water can be conveicd any : part of the farm and he can w-ater his stock by turning a faucet. There is no contract too large or too small, but what he will cheerfully furnish estimates. Give P. J. Hyland an opportunity to bid on your work. “If a farmer of a hundred years ago could revisit thisearthly snhere and v ! ew a modern farm with ail the improved machinery for accomplishing the work he was obliged to perfoim by the power of muscle he would call all these inventions miracles," said the old man A large and reliable dealer in agricultural implements in Decatur is Henry Knapp. Monroe street. He thoroughly understands all the inventions in farm machinery □nd can explain all the details of their consrtuction and how to use them. He sells Oliver sulky plows, the best on the market, plows, harrows, cultiva- ■ tors, harvesting, cream separators, wire fencing and in fact everything a farmer requires from a hoe to a threshing machine. He makes a specialty of the best line of beet drills and cultivators. Buy these tools of Henry Knapp and your beet field will be a success. Buy his gasoline engine and vou can loaf while it saws your wood, pumps your water, grinds | your corn and runs your threshing machine. By using his manure spreader ; (I ere will be a great increase in the I products of your farm. Henry’ Knapp ' I sells as fine a line of well constructed, I up-to-date, stylish buggies and carri-1 i ages as can be found in the state. The ! ' wpsrc>rs be sells are the best forth" ' ■-•ear and tear of farm work. Henry j Knapp is a progressive and reliable j hardware dealer and carries every-1 thing required in this line from a pa- ■ per of tacks to 5 hay scale "When Sir Walter Raleigh had the, nerve to test the soothing influence I and satisfying sensations of tobacco, he conferred a blessing on humanity,” •remarked the old man. as he complacently smoked a White Stag cigar, and enjoyed its mellow flavor and fragrant aroma. Among the many cigars I manufactured tn Adams county ana vicinity, there are none that have I built up a better reputation for mak I ing a good, reliable, smokable cigar than Lose & Thomas, 132 South Sec ! ond street. Three years ago tiiese I two expert and experienced cigar I makers started making good cigars in ; Decatur. Today they em-loy f m”-; people, all practical cigar makers. The factory is well adapted for its purpose. It’s Sanitation is on a scientific basis, its ventilation perfect, and this ! I satisfactory condition is reflected in I rhe cheerfulness and faithfulness of ' I theiremployeea They manufacture ; [ t wo celebrated and popular brands White Stag and John Adair five cent ; cigars. These are unqutestlonably th; i I best uigars for the money on | ket and their sale is increasing as | their superior merits become known. The is sold all over Indiana through the exclusive agency of the W. H Hood company of Portland. Ind. Eighty thousand of this brand were sold in one month. They are ; made in seven different sizes. Sweet tempers and sunny smiles re-1 suit from smoking these cigars. Lose I & Thomas have secured their la-ge ■ tii.de, leading position aud popularity | because they are excellent judges of; tobacco, know how and where to select, the choicest leaf, and in building these cigars they use the finest domestic tobacco, skillfully blended with the best Vuelta Alajo ' Havana, the cream of sunny ‘tuba's choicest toi baceo. While the blend is the soul of i a cigar, they have a special process • |of treating their tobacco that takas i I away the harshness, bite and sting, - and thoroughly cures and mellows it, s which insures a rich ripe smoke. 1 ' SMOKE A WHITE STAG AND FOR- - I GET ALL YOUR TROUBLES. s “An important matter that must be y I attended to at once is to insure your 3 I hpvse and household effects, then you - j nded not worry,” said Uncle Sam to 3 I the young couple. We will go to Grar i ham’s insurance agency, corner Second and Court, the leading and most i reliable establishment in Decatur.

They represent the largest and strongest fire insurance companies in the world. They thoroughly understand the insurance business in all its . branches and write contracts so plainly that any one can understand them. The companies they represent settle all losses satisfactorily. You can i place implicit confidence in all their statements.* The people now have confidence in these important institutions of industrial life, for the fire insurance companies demonstrated their ability to cope with t . greates proper-, loss I y lire recorded in his- , tor;, at the time of the cataclhysm at San Francisco. “Another thing I want to impress upon your mind, i Jack, is to have your life insured. You I mus tthink of future possibilities as well as present necessities. Go to the ! Graham agency and have them write you a policy in an old reliable aud safe company. Graham A- Walters do ian abstract business in a thorough, j careful and positive manner. Thev also loan money at 5 per cent interest in small or large amounts, and you can always depend upon them as beipg accurate investigators and j cheerful leaders. The Graham agency does a general insurance business, in- ; soring health, accident, employers’ Ila- [ bility. automobiles, plate glass, etc. I ■ Consult them on all abstracts, loans ! j and insurance matters. “The apparel off proclaims the man." quoted Uncle Sam, when Jack j was asking abcut a clothing stor-.-. i "Good clothes are your credent;.;l • ; idr entrance into commercial or sc I < ial life. What is true of men is also | I tiue of boys going to school. If well i dressed, they will be more manly, I more ambitious and more respecter! [ We have in Decatur a clothing store ; where the quality of goods anti ’ prices asked makes it the most desira-

: I’leplace place in the city to trade. 1* it the glove aud clothing emporium o. i i.. pie, Brandybei ry & Peterson, i northwest corner of Second and Madi ;.-<uu streets. In this store you will end the largest assortment of ready-to-wear garments to be found in Adams county. They carry all grades and sell at reasonable prices. They carry the celebrated! line of Adler Brothers, of Rochester. This is unquestionably the highest grade clothing manufactured in this country. These suits possess all the attributes of distinctive styles, faultless fabrics and superior workmanship, which Is characteristic of good clothes. Teeple, Brandyberry & Peterson cany everything to be found in an up to-date clothing house, including hats, suit cases and the finest line of gents' furnishing goods to be found in the city. It is a pleasure to visit this store for the stock is kept spotlessly clean, the e’.egani and every one connected with this model establishment polite and attentive. “We will go there. Jack, and purchase Roeloi s hats for Easter. Then, I guess we’ll smile..” . "If you want to keep your husband good-natured and healthy, feed him well," said Uncle Sam to Grace. "The most important thing is to secure pure material ior your ’cooking from the grocery store. Poor food will destroy ■ the best disposition in anv household. Select the grocer who will give you the best of everything and stick to him. By all means traue with Everett & Hite Co., Second street, apposite the interurban station. You will find them honorable, fair in prices and accommodating. Their store is a model of neatness and order—no codfish in ' the sugar barrel. They sell only the I highest quality goods.

They have on i hand a large supply of fresh country , | eggs for Easter. , < | "The largest, handsomest and most [ attractive drug store in Adams court-1 , ty is the model pharmacy of Smith, ! I Yager & Falk.” said Uncle Sam. "This store is on Second street, beI tween Monro and Madison, and is i known as 'The Rexall Store.' This i means that they are in direct, connec-1 tion and ; art of one of the largest and i ; best-equipped chemical laboratories in 1 I the United States. It means that they I I have the assistance ot skilled and ed-1 i ueated chemists to analyze their drugs ' and prepare their pharmaceutical ! ! preparations. It means that every a.- ' i ticle bearing the Rexall name is ab- . • solutely pure, it means that this 1 , company manufactures a line of i ’ household remedies ror the cure of ■ all the ills that flesh is heir to. it means that each remedy is guaranteed to perform its promised work or the t money refunded. It means that these formulas have been obtained from the highest medical authorities and that long experience has demonstrated the , efficacy of each remedy to cure some I ' racial complaint. Rexall means ' King of All. We select our physicians "ith great rare raking into account his skill and knowledge. We should be equally careful in selecting the druggist to fill the physician's prescription. Smith, Yager & Falk will not only fill our prescription accurately, but give ub the purest of drugs and chemicals. “Where did you obtain all those i beautiful flowers I see around the I house?" asked Grace of her uncle. “I i bought them of The Moses Green | House company, corner Fifth and In ; diana streets. “I will take you to this greenhouse, containing 35,000 feet of glass, and you w ill be surprised at the uarzllng display of Easter flowers you will see there.

WHEN YOU THINK OF FLOWERS, THINK OF MOSES. “Where is there a good horseshoer'.’" asked Jack las his uncle. “You : know how particular I am about that mare of mine." “Just so: you want no botched job about her,' replied Uncle Sam. Many a good horse has I , been permanently injured by careless or ignorant shoeing. To my notion, George W Dixson, First and Jefferson streets, is the best horse slioer in Decatur. He is unquestionably a skillful. careful and scientific horseshoer. I would trust a valuable horse to him '! with perfect confidence. He thorough- | !y understands the constructions of a i horse's hoof, knows what kind of a shoe is required, how to make it and how to put it on. He makes a spec- ‘ laity of shoeing lame, interfering and I tender-footed horses. In this respect he enjoys an enviable reputation, j George W. Dizson does all kinds of; .buggy, carriage and wagon repairing; and his work is flawless. He can i make anything in steel or iron required of a first-class blacksmith. What a delicious porter house| i steak: it almost melts in one’s; mouth,” said Grace one morning at i breakfast. I lought that of Simeon Hain, west Madison street, the most I reliable aud prug.essive meat dealer I in Decatur.' By selling only the highest quality meats at roek bottom prices he has built up aMarge tiadf and an enviable reputation for reliarbility and courteous treatment to all I ; his patrons. Order aud cleanliness 1 prevails in every corner and nook of i this model market. All his appliances | are kept in perfect sanitary condi--1 tion, You are sure of obtaining fresh mea»s at all times, for he maintains the latest improved, up-to-date refrig--1 erator Plant.

I His stock consists of fresh and salt meats, pork, sugar cured hams, sau ■ sage, poultry, oysters and game.

WITH THE LODGES. The Yeoimn held a “,<jou meeting Monday evening, they having chang- . ed their meeting night frem Tuesday i evening back to Monday night, their ; former evening of meeting, which is . most convenient ior ail the members. A large attendance was noted in spite -of the inclement weather and business 1 was cared for in the usual way. 3 The Knights of Columbus met for their regular semi-monthly meeting e I Monday night, with several important 1 questions up for disposal. Another 1 talk by one of the members was lis- ® tened to with much interest. p u The Modern Wjodmeli will hold ® their meeting on Wednesday evening I! at which time more definite arrange--3 ments relative to their home talent »f play which they will put on in the ’* near future will be considered. A h good attendance will be necessary at H this time, and with the other business h to come up at this meeting, the evening will be an important one. nis The meeting of the American In‘B surance Union will be held in tLo Ben ° Hur hall this evening. District Manager RayXurn, who has been in this ■ e city in the interest of the order, was

■ taken ill last week and comp, ".’fl t 0 ; return to his home in Fort Wayne, ; and will probably not be present lor the meeting this evening. National Warder Gates will be present in hia ’ stead, If he is not able to make the trip. CONFESSED CRIME (Continued r- on. t One. > ture of Seth Nichols, who has confess ed to the murder, and a full confession before the taking of any action He expected it to arrive tonight from Portsmouth, N. H. Captain Holtz said that nothing had been developed here that .«ob'* claim that a man named Knight had any connection with the case. Nothing had been determined he said, that the Doctor Knabe hnd an enemy who hated het sufficiently to hire a man to kill her. No member of the- local department, will be sent to Portsmouth until after the picture and confession are examined. Mrs Sam Knight, aunt of Nichols. 1 when interviewed today, said that the i latter was hysterical, when not in his 1 right mind, and that she believed this was the cause of his assertion that he ' killed Dr. Knabe. The name of the ’ aunt is the same as that of the man . whom Nichols says gave him $1,500 for slashing Dr. Knabe's throat. While not caring to express an opinion as to whether Nichols is the real murderer, Detective Webster said today that motives were not lacking, and that it would justify the receipt which Nichols said he received. YES, IT WILL, TOO . Following the item in Saturday Fort Wayne’journal Gazette, in which Manager W. H. Fledderjohan-i stated there were no immediate prospects of extending the interurban to Portland, this morning’s Journal Gazette quotes the contrary . “Charles Dirkson of Decatur, treas urer for the Fort Wayne & Springfield Interurban Railroad companj, while in Fort Wayne Monday afternoon, stated that the officials of the company are entertaining hop* that they will be able tn extend the line to Portland this summer, since the traction bond market in the east has epened an spleadidly during the past few days. "‘The only thing that has delay-1 the extension of the line has been tl stringency es the traction bic market, ’ stated Mr. Dlrtafin. ‘and since the market has opened up nicely we confidently expect to be able to enlist sufficient financial aid to build our line on to Portland before sno flies next fall. The people along t' ■ proposed route of our line are clamor ’ ing for the extension and we see no t reason why the improvement cannot ' be made during the year ’ ”
