They refused to increase the salaries of some of the deputies and clerks and an effort to put the Indiana militia out of existence caused a battle that was interesting, but lost by a large vote. One newspaper dispatch announces that the Wilson cabinet has been completed and even mentions a few of the names, including that of W. J. Bryan as secretary of state, while another story gives an interview with the pres-ident-elect in which he says he will make no announcement until he sends the names to the senate for confirmation on March 4th. Do you want to have a big day in Decatur, one that will outrival any celebration in this part of the state this year? If so, you have the chance in the Firemen’s Tournament to be held here June 26th. A little interest on your part will make it a banner day, will bring the largest crowd ever seen, here, and will make you glad you live in a live town. Show a little enthusiasm. Be a booster. Two weeks from next Tuesday and Wood row W’ilson will become president of the Ignited States, the first democratic executive the nation has had since Grover Cleveland vacated the white house for William McKinley, March 4, -97. The long era of disastrous republican rule is about to end. It has only a little longer to exist and then it will pass completely into history. At one time (before its evil effects could be plainly seen) it promised to be of such tremendous power that there was but small hope of driving it out. The campaigns of 1900 and 1904 and 1908 were discouraging tt> the opposition. But soon after Taft’s inauguration it was evident the people were awakening. And how they did act when the time came. — Goshen Democrat FOR SALc FOR A SHORT TIME My house and lot on 7th street; also an ideal 15 acres of poultry and trucking farm, 1 square from brick street; all necessary buildings; or a 13-acre trucking garden just outside of corporation, 2 squares from brick street.

Schafer having a verygood paper on "Early Days in Dutch History." The members responded to the roll call with original rhymes on Holland, and Mrs. R. L. Semans proved the star in this, her rhyme showing .unusually clever originality. The club postponed its annual business period from this week until next week, when it is hoped the attendance will be larger, as it is desired that all members be present when the annual business is given attention. The club is looking forward with interest to an informal Martha Washington tea at the home of Mrs. J. H. Heller on George Washington’s birthday, February 22, from 3 to 5 o’clock. This will the “guest day" when the club members will invite their friends to visit with them over the tea cups. The Ladies’ Aid and the Helping Hand societies of the German Reformed church combined in an excellent meeting held Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer, more than fifty enjoying the pleasures of the day and lending their assistance in the good work. The aid society’ s business was given first attention, and then the making of bonnets for the Helping Hand society. These will be placed on spring sale, and the president, Mrs. John Spuller, can be notified for orders. The class of Mrs. Moyer also held a pastry sale and gleaned $4 therefrom; the collection for the Helping Hand was >3.40 and o the aid. $11.25. The social side of life was not forgotten in their busy work, and in season were the decorations of Valentine red hearts and cupids which were festooned about the rooms or caught witha Cupid’s dart to the draperies. The valentine ideas were also carried out in the luncheon and in the dainty napkins. Tiny red hearts were given as favors, these being pierced by a toothpick which protn ded from the salad. Assisting the hostess in the serving of the guests were the Misses Lydia Bieneke, Bessie Davis, LeAnna Vance, Della Sellemeyer and Mrs. Ferd Litterer. The Florhul de Purin club welcomed the Misses Marie Butler and Agnes Eady as their guests Wednesday evening at the home of Miss Cecil Eady, where they sewed, talked and enjoyed the delicious refreshments served by the hostess. Miss Stella Chronister invited the girls to be her guests in two weeks. i Ihe Lutheran Young People’s society will have their regular meeting at the school house this evening, and all are asked to bear this in mind.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hormann of Hesse Cassel were guests at supper last evening of Mrs. L. Bultemeler and family. AUTOMOBILE BARGAINS.

Sheriff Durkin was apprised Wednes evening by Anton Zurcher of Monroe township that his missing horses and wagon load of coal had been found at Geneva safe and sound. The horses had been driven to Berne for a load of coal by his son, Fred Zureher, who had been an inmate of the insane asylum at one time, and who suffered relapses from time to time. He got the coal and drove away toward home and was not heard of for two, days and a night, finally appearing at home without the horses and coal, and having no knowledge of where he had lK>en or what he had done with them.

Koenig . et al., for foreclosure of mortgage, has . been determined. This case was char acterized by the filing of more cross- ’ complaints, answers, demurrers, etc., • than any other case in the court iu ! many years. Hence the findings were 9 many and involved. The findings were as follows: (1) For the plaintiff, Hoagland State bank, on note and mortgage for $2,642.92 and costs, and also $166.22 taxes paid by plaintiff: (2)The Bank of Ohio on cross-com-plaint on note and mortgage, $2,591.67 and costs, same to be a second lien on the real estate, subject to the plaintiff’s lien; (3) for Herman and Martin Gerke, in cross-complaint, on their judgment, for $1,901.59, which is third lien, subject to that of the Ohio bank; 1 (4) finding for William Fuelling on his cross-complaint on his judgment for $599.73, a fourth lien: (5) for Henry Gerke, for $431.80, a fifth lien; (6) for Henry Schroeder for $1,193.51, a sixth lien; (7) for Ernst Gallmeier, for $1,414.60, an equal lien with that of Schroeder; (8) for Martha Ahr, for $578.44, a seventh lien; (9) for William H.

The foreclosure and judgment was rendered accordingly, for the plaintiff and the Bank of Ohio, and sale ordered. The distribution of the proceeds will i be first made to the satisfying of the costs, and then to the plaintiff and to the other liens as heretofore found and set out. Judgment was rendered by Special ; Judge C. J. Lutz in the partition case of Lillie Carter et al. vs. Nancy Mills et al. Judgment was given that the plainitff and defendant are the owners of the real estate in the proportion to the minds set out in the complaint: finding and judgment that the real estate should be partitioned among the several owners according to their several interests by setting off to the plaintiff, one-sixth in value, and to the defendant, five-sixths in value if the same can be done.
