Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as sceond class mail. Automobile accidents have occurred quite frequently in this city in the last few weeks, and only this morning one of our citizens was run down and perhaps fatally injured. In most cases it is negligence on the part of some one who does not live up to the requirements of the law. The exceeding of the speed limit is, in most cases, responsible for the accidents, and is least regarded by automobile drivers. A law that should be strictly adhered to is that of keeping to the right aide of the street or road by everyone, whether driving a machine. a rig, or riding a bicycle. This part of the law is also one that has not been observed by drivers of vehicles in this city. In turning corners the same care should be taken, and drivers of all rigs should observe care in doing this, so as to give an auto or horse and rig plenty of room if there should be one coming from the opposite direction. This would reduce, to a great extent the number of accidents. If you should be on the road and a rig or an automobile should come up from behind, and signal that it wants to go around, pull out to the right, and let the vehicle coming up from behind go around to your left.. Decatur has its laws and ordinance like any other city and the proper authorities should see that they are abided by, and make those suffer who refrain from doing so.

BURDG MANAGER Located in Gregory Building at Corner of Madison and Third Streets. Bright and early Saturday morning the Wear-U-Well company, manufacturers of boys’ and men’s shoes, will open a branch salesroom in this city, with Howard Burdg as manager. The new store will be located in the Gregory building, corner of Third and Madison streets, that room having been remodeled and arranged for the big stock which arrived today.

They sell only three prices of shoes, $1.98, $2.49 and $2.98, and handle only boys' and men’s shoes. In another column of this issue appears their first announcement which tells whs and what they are. Mr. Burdg has been conducting a shoe-shining parlor here for a year past and has made good in that line. He is confident of his success as the agent for this concern. It is claimed that the Wear-U-Well people are the only factory in the vi orld which disposes of its stock in this manner, and they advertise that their agents have no competition for that reason.

With the many notices coming in front the farmers throughout the country telling of the heavy harvest of oats, it would be hard to state at this time who would be the champion grower. The last to come to our notice is John Appleman, living one mile west of the city, and who, off of fourteen and one-half acres harvested 1215 bushels of oats, or an average of I about eighty-three bushels to the ' acre. This is going some and it takes ■ old Adams to show the others how to do it j MRS, WEHMEYER ILL. Rev. H. Wehmeyer, pastor of the I West Monroe street Lutheran church, I left this afternoon for Fort Wayne in response to a message that Mrs. Wehmeyer, who has been ill with sci-j-atic rheumatism, is worse. Mrs. Weh--1 raeyer has been visiting three weeks with' her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. 1 Fisher. When she left here she had an attack of rheumatism and grew better, but is again worse.
