He comes byway of Indianapolis and whether thq way be clear for his arrival is not known. Mrs. Jake Tester this morning received a telegram from her son Lawrence at Terre Haute carrying the inj formation that he is O. K. Mrs. Test,er has been endeavoring to reach .him for three days by wire but was 'unable until this morning. The preparation of the Women of ■ Decatur during the reservoir break | scare has caused a lot amusement for some-since the break didn’t pour a 'deluge of water into the river and cellars,. Someone who laughed because some dragged the coal and provisions up out of the dry celler for fear of inundation, finally gave way the fact in course of their talk, that their ow’n cellars had been filled for several days with water that came high enough to put out the furnace fires.

John Smith, fireman for the Standard Oil company at Preble, Is able io be out again after a week's illness from quinsy. Fifty workmen are engaged at Preble in relaying the line for the Indiiana Pipe Line company. This was uncovered by the Erie Double tracking force. Mr. Schwanzel, a rope salesman, who has been held up here all week,' with headquarters at the Schaub-, Dowling store, was able to get out of town yesterday over the G. R. & 1. and expects to spend Sunday at his home at Toledo, Ohio. He made but one town this week, and is in doubt whether he can call himself a “traveling" salesman, or not. Mrs. John Barnett, a patient at the hospital. Fort Wayne, was to have I been brought home this week, but was prevented from coming by the high water isolation, Mr, Barnett and his daughter, Mrs. Will Ramey, will go to Fort Wayne tomorrow morning and will bring Mrs. Barnett home tomorrow evening over the G. R. & I. as trains are promised for then. Mrs. Barnett is doing well and is able to walk about the hospital, but is very homesick. sabbathls welcmed (Continued from Page 1) fined seventeen years. She was taken to her home Monday night, and when Mrs. Henry Gunsett talked by telephone to relatives near Schumm, yesterday, the body was still unburied the day before. The delay in burial was caused by the high waters, as the funeral was to be held in the Lutheran church at Schumm. The deceased is a twin sister of Mrs. Henry Schumm, and known to many here. The news of the fndiana floods has spread like wild-fire. Relatives of Decatur people who live far away, are just as anxious for news from us, as we are from relatives in the flooded cities. Friday Robert Blackbum received a telegram from his son, Geo. Blackburn, at Los Angeles, Cal., who had doubtless been reading the newspapers: He said: “Are you safe? Need money? Answer immediately." Erie and Clover Leaf. The passenger service on the Erie

is now able to run through from Chicago to Kenton, Ohio, but the trouble east of Kenton is still in a very bad condition. No through trains are being run on the road and the only possenger trains are Number’s 226 and 1 227 due here at 11:00 westbound and 1:36 eastbound. The track east of the bridge is now in very good condition. The Clover Leaf experienced a little difficulty at Liberty Center last evening when the bridge over the creek became loosened at one end and moved out of line owing to a weakened abutment. This is being repaired now however and the track will be repaired at Willshire by 5 or 6 o’clock thus permitting trains due here at 6:26 and 9:52 to make the run through from Franfort to Toledo. Received No Word. Efforts of Scheriff Durkin to get a telegram through to an aunt, Mrs. O’Connor and other relatives in Dav,ton, Ohio, have been without effect and Mr. Durkin is fearful for their safety.

Sht» has been 'a . teacher there eighteen years, and has spent forty-one years of i|er life in this profession. She is an aunt of I Murray Scherer, of this city. Molasses Pan a Boat. Mrs. Er Ahr, living east of the city, was cut off from all neighbors by flooded roads in all directions, but was not driven to such desperate straits as her sister, Mrs. Ross Hardin living seven miles southeast of the city. Water flooded the Hardin cellar and fields and a large molasses pan was borrowed of the Gottlieb Bitner family. This was used as a boat to rescue things out of the cellar and fields and all took a ride in it by turns. The pan is used in boiling down kaue molasses and Is ten by four feet, and a foot and a half deep. Those who took the novel boat ride in it were Mr. and Mrs. Hardin, and son, Clyde; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Gottlieb Bittner. Lumberman Friend Drowns. C. H. Colter received a message from Mrs. Ed Huddle, of Greenville, Ohio, stating that herTiusband, a well known lumberman, had drowned, but his body had not yet been found. Mr. Huddle has been here and is known to

ali lumbermen. Western Union Swamped. More than 140 messages were sent and received by J. C. Patterson, local Western Union agent, Friday afternoon.

Her daughter resides i near the river there, but Mr. Hoff--1 man is not certain as to his sister's i residence since the death of her husband. Her first busband was Fred Welfley, an uncle of County Recorder Andrew Welfley. River Drops Fast. This morning at 8 o’clock, according , of Observer G. F. Kintz, the river stood 17.7 feet at the east bridge. This is a drop of 5.3 feet from the highest mark of 23 feet Wednesday morning at 6 o'clock, or 1.7 feet since Friday morning. The river has probably dropped eight inches since 8 o’clock this morning. The roads crossing both north and east bridges are clear and open again to travel. All Carriers Out. All the roads out of the city were practically cleared for the first time since Monday night, and all the carriers of rural mail were able to go out today. The greater number, It was thought, would be able to cover all their routes, but three left a part of their mail here, for the part of their routes that it was thought would be impassable.

TWO LONG DAYS And Two Long Nights Without Food, or Water to Drink. After nearly a week's worry, the anxietv of Mr. and Mrs. Cash Andrews was relieved Friday when they received word that their daughter, Lucile, and her husband, Paul Tribolet, formerly of Bluffton, were among the saved at Peru. They were forced to flee to the second story of a school house for safety, and were there two longs days and nights, without food, or water to drink. The news was very meager, but enough to relieve the anxiety. Mr. Tribolet went from Bluffton to Peru to reside, a few months ago, being employed there as ticket agent for the Wabash Valley Traction company. Mrs. Tribolet is a sister of Mrs. Burt Mangold, and Mr. Tribolet is a brother of Mrs. James Artman of this city. — ■■ — — FOR SALE OR TRADE—Surrey, in good condition; also set of buggy harness and set single work harness. . luquird Alva Nichols at Peoples & 1 Gerke. 67 t f Send your order for Centllvar Bock f beer to Jos.
