It’s J worth looking after. We have the offer of a neat little sum of money from several progressive citizens. A little more and we could start the project off for sure. It would be a great thing for the town a general cleaning-up day. Gel ready to come home, you Adams county people who have wandered far from the old home scenes. The plans are being formed, slowly, but sure enough. If we give it you should ! come, for we will show you some-1 thing worth seeing. The traveling men are boosting Decatur. They say it’s, the best town of its size in Indiana, and it helps. Traveling men bought and sent away not less than seventy-five of the Thursday's issue of the Democrat, and they all had a good word lor the town, where there is something doing. It all helps. The democrats in congress have voted to abolish the court of commerce, which has recently been scandalized by the Archbald investigation. Whether the republican senate and I President Taft will agree with theJ democrats is not known at this time,! but the fact remains that the* court of . commerce was originally established by a republican administration not j only to give fat jobs to the party faithful, but for other mysterious reasons that the railroads know more ' about than the people. The sole purpose of the registration law enacted by the last legislature was to give full effect to every legal vote in the state by making illegal voting impossible. It is natural, therefore, that every crooked politician should oppose the registration law I and talk about its ' expense.” What ■ does the crooked politician really care about the expense? He doesn’t pay it. Honest men, who want their votes ' to count, are willing to pay something j tojnake the work of the crooked poli- ' tieian more difficult.

Commencing with Friday evening the waterworks whistle will be blown each evening at 8 o'clock, according to an agreement of business men, who wish this signal to go by, for the closing up of their business each day. Heretofore the eight o'clock hour has not been very closely observed, and it is hoped that with the sounding of this signal all business men will do as they have agreed. Friday evening, owing to the first time blown, many thought it was a fire alarm, and responded to see the firemen make their first trip with the new apparatus. 1 ■ ——' o OSCAR FRITZINGER BETTER.

THE RELATIVES. o The Snedeker theater party opened its summer engagement at the opera house Friday night to a good house. The performance was worthy of note in every respect. The entire cast gave excellent portrayals of their respective roles and showed diligent study and pains in their efforts for impression. The play was a new one to local patrons, and held the atten tion of the audience in every line. Mr. Schraluka sang a beautiful song, and the local acrobat. Mr. Gerard, was clever. Two reels of moving pictures made the show more than worth the ten cents, the price of admission. This company gives rvry indication of having a iong and successful run in this city. The same play tonight, with change of pictures. o Frank Mills, who for some months has been in the employee of the Bell Telephone Co., as office man arrived home this afternoon for a two weeks visit with his parents. He will also attend the graduation exercises this coming week of which his sister Miss Margaret is a member. o TONIGHT. Snedeker theater party, in “The Diamond Necklace.” All seats, 10c.
