Is Now Discussed by the Soldiers’ Committee. The next step toward the erection of the new Adams county soldiers' monument, the contract for the building of which was let to the Wemhoff Monumental Works, this week, by the county commissioners, will be the decision for the location of this on the court house square. This has been left to the soldiers’ monumental committees and the order for the same will be made by the county commissioners at their next session, upon recommendation of the committee. The most favored place seems to be the middle of the plot west of the court house building. This has been linedNoff and from present indications seems to be the most desirable. Should this be selected, two large trees now growing there will have to be removed. Suggestions were made that this part of the court house grounds be turned into a park, walks built and other improvements made. When the street is paved, the sidewalk will be placed along the curb and the lot enlarged further. A point in favor of the selection of this place is that pupils from both the public and Catholic parochial schools, visitors at the library and K. of P. Home, and others, will have at all times a good view of the memorial, which will bring a lesson of patriotism. > o— . COURT HOUSE NEWS. County Clerk Bleeke and his deputy, L. L./Baumgartner, have the dockets made up for the new term of court, beginning next Monday. There are twenty-six’criminal cases, 132 civil cases, 175 guardianships, and about 100 estates, awaiting action of court. Several Important criminal cases will probably come up dUTing the April term. After the nine weeks’ session, court will adjourn for the long summer vacation of three months. Applications for the admission of t hree Insane persons from Adams county to Easthaven insane asylum are still pending. These are Adam Cully, who is in the jail here for sofeJfeepiyg; Miss Sarah Hirschy of Monroe township, and Ed Fox. —• FORD FOR SALE OR TRADE—At Watson's garage.—C. A. Burdg, Decatur, Ind. 59t

TIE WATER STAGE St, Mary’s Rivver Only 4% Feet Above Normal Height of Six Feet. HIGH WATER MARK Is Nineteen Feet—Present Height is Little More Than Half That. City Engineer G. F. Kintz, local weather and water observer, took th* measurement,of the St. Mary’s, river at noon today. It was thought by many that the steady rains of the past several days would make a rapid rise in the river, but Mr. Kintz’ measure at noon today showed the water only 10*4 feet .which is only 4% feet higher than the normal height of 6 feet. The high water mark is 19 feet, although the stage reached during the highest floods in March this year, was 23 feet. • o — “WHO’S WHO!” Many stop to look at the picture in the Callow & Rice window, marked, “Who's Who?” It takes only one guess in naming the speaking likeness as that of Harry Daniel, the former Decatur newspaper man. The picture was one sent with the feature ads of his special baseball write-ups in the Chicago Inter-Ocean a couple of years ago. DR. L. P. MEYER VETERINARIAN Office at Residence After April, 15th.
