Entered at the postotfics m Decatur, Indiana, as second clsmi laail. The list of dead at Peru has dwindled from three hundred down to about ten or a dozen. That is bad enough, but one cannot help wonder-! ing from where came all the Wild stories we were receiving a week ago, President Wilson will personally look after the new tariff bill and it is believed it will be a law worthy of him. It is suggested that he is not dealing out patronage to the senators until he learns where they stand on the tariff problem. Perhaps he is a better politician than he has been credited with being. General Sherman once defined war as hell. He certainly included pestilence, is that short but concise defini-1 tion, that follows in the wake of war. I Disease is a pestilence that follows in the wake of the devastations of floods no less than that of war. This ' woeful condition of pestilence is now being manifested by different types of fever and other diseases at Dayton and other places according to the different phases and magnitude of the floods. As the medical authorities at Dayton are guarding f against further pestilence of this character, so our health officers are doing in Indiana, and all our good people should heartily second every effort they make as precautuionary measures to avert further disaster by the natural sequence of disease.— I Muncie Star. The of J. Pierpont Morgan in Rome Monday removes the real king of finance from life. While his riches do not total as high as Rockefeller’s, he controlled greater interests, it being shown in the recent money trust probe that he controlled interests amounting to the fabulous sum of fourteen billion dollars. He was the most wonderful general of finance the world has ever known and the last ten years of his life were even more active than former ones. He has not been philanthropic, because to have done so he would have had to release to some extent his power. His great wealth has helped no one to any great extent except as great wealth must help a community x>r a country. | Even the burdens of his great wealth continually worried him so much that he did not enjoy life. What good, then, is this great wealth? Wall street has been expecting his death and was fortified to such an extent that it is not believed probable that any flurry will be caused thereby.

W Sholty has a most delightful fad, that is instructive as well as pleasant. It is the fad of collecting plates. These are not just common, ' every-day plates, but plates of historical interest, the objective point being to get plate for every state in the unI ion, illustrated with a picture cr scene of historical interest relating to 'that plate. Mrs. Sholty began the colI lection nine years ago, and now has a i plate from every state except nine—(New Jersey, North and South CaroI Una, Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware. ; Wyoming, New Mexico and Kentucky. When she secures the full number, | Mrs. Sholty will then get out a book- ' let descriptive of the plates and the historical point of interest She will .also give a dinner party, the guests •to be all those who have assisted her in securing the plates. She also has a most delightful collection of curios and relics, and a half-hour spent with Mrs. Sholty at her curio cabinet and hearing the interesting descriptions and stories connected therewith, is delightful beyond measure. The Harvey Shroll family turned the tables on the bunch of forty Baptist-would-be surprisers Monday evening and gave them a little advance April fool surprise. In some way over the telephone, the Shrolls learned of the intended surprise to ( be given last evening and at the appointed hour had the lights turned out and the doors and windows lock- . ed. When the surprisers came in full force and found the house dark, they tried the windows and doors to gain entrances, but without success. Just as they were about to leave the Shrolls turned on the light and threw the doors open and welcomed them in. A general good time was had. games were played and refreshments served In a peanut-sticking contest, John Everett won honors and was given a i jumping-jack as a prize.
