Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second cla»s nail. One of the really important problems just now should be the locating of the soldiers’ monument. It is and should be a question of much interest for this monument is to stand many decades and we should be most careful to place it where it will show to the best advantages. That we live in a community of unselfish people is proven from the fact that a number of contributions for the flood sufferers at Lawrenceburg, Indiana, have already been received. Decatur will send a little sum of cash to the relief committee of that stricken city, that will help at a time of need. Henry Neil, recently' a member of the Illinois legislature and author of the mother's pension bill in that state, has been elected a justice of the peace in Chicago and now announces that he will administer justice in strict conformity with the teachings of Christ. Where man-made laws conflict with the Bible the biblical laws will be given preference. All the ministers of that city will be asked for help to bring Christianity into the home of those who enter his court. He will accept no fees. Governor Ralston very properly resents the publication of reports that relief money has been distributed in communities where it would have a political effect and has been otherwise ludicrously handled, but he need not take the matter greatly to heart. No intelligent person knowing the governor and his committee or acquainted with the care used in placing the funds wherethe need was greatest would give a moment’s heed to such stories. —Indianapolis Star.

C., was a former state official, and has attended con- , ventions in this city and visited here on several occasions. Sunday at the pleasant country home of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Egly of Decatur, R. R. No. 2, occurred one of , the most complete and well planned surprises of the season. While Mr. and Mrs. Egly were attending church in Decatur, sixty of their neighbors, friends, children and grandchildren, were gathering, and impatiently waiting their home-coming. Every one was there, and all signs of any surprise were safely hidden. Babies, buggies, baskets, horses, al! were carefully kept from view. As the carriage drove up with Mr. and Mrs. Egly and the younger children one of the older boys ran out exclaiming, “Father, you are wanted at the ’phone.” This w’as done to keep him out of the barn, and get him into the house first Little dreaming what was in store, Mr. Egly walked head-long into the well-laid trap, and as he opened the door the cry of “surprise, surprise,” was deafening. Both Mr. and Mrs. Egly bore it bravely and dispensed the honors of their home with their accustomed hospitality. At 1 o’clock, two tables groaning under their weight of good things, were filled twice and all enjoyed the splendid dinner. The afternoon was spent in social conversation and music, furnished by Mrs. Louis Egly and Miss Mabel Shoaf. Mr. and Mrs. Egly’s birthdays are on the same day, the former being fifty-two and the latter, forty-seven. All left at a late hour, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Egly many happy returns of the day.

The first banquet of the high school basket ball boys since their return from the Bloomington was the six o’clock dinner party of Tuesday evening, given by Mrs. C. R. Dunn. Every appointment was perfect and the afj fair was a very pretty and charming one. The decorations were carried out in the high school colors, purple and gold, which blend harmoniously, and the menu was also carried out in these colors. The light in the dining room came through yellow-hooded candles ;the table was covered with purple doilies and the centerpiece was a ( bowl of violets. At the close of the dinner these were divided, each' guest being given a bunch for his la-, pel. At each cover was a conundrum card, illustrated with a picture of a basket ball. The conundrums were read during the course of the dinner,, and stimulated the interest exceedingly. The ice cream was molded in the form of a yellow rose with purple leaves, and the cake was golden in, color.

A City Ordinance CONTINUICB IrnOM PAGE ONE ing committee was ordered to buy two loads of stone for the improving of the same. A motion for the adoption of the report was carried. L. C. Helm, the city fire chief, asked the council for the rights of the streets for June 26, which will be the day for the Northeastern Indiana Volunteer Firemen’s convention, on which day many thousand people will be here. This was referred to the fire committee, with orders to report at the next meeting. Anothr long-discussed question was before the council, and that was pertaining to the electric light and telephone poles along West Monroe street. Mr. Woods, the contractor for the bricking of Monroe street, says that the curbing will be here within a few days and that work would commence at once, but as there were a number of electric light and telephone poles along the curb, the council should decide what way they should be removed. The question was finally deferred over until the next meeting. The finance committee allowed the following bills and the session adjourned until May 6th: John W.

Hear Arguments {Continued r-sm rage 1) I made up of ladies. At a few moments (after 1 o’clock, C. L. Walters, attorney for the remonstrators, began his speech and for an hour, he argued, rapidly, earnestly and forcefully for his side. He attacked Mr. Rade- ’ macher for having been too free in making oath and answered te arguments of Mr. Peterson. He said that only twenty-three signers had been challenged and that under the law, ithe rest were considered unchallenged . He warmed up considerably and said the case became a problem in arithmetic that any school boy could solve. He said that the result could only be the same, no difference what ruling was made and that the remonI strators had won a victory by a majority ranging from four to sixteen. He closed at 2 o’clock and was followed by Mr. Beatty, who spoke an hour. Mr. Minton closed the argument at about 4 o’clock. I Decision by 5 O’clock. The board held a short conference at noon today, at which time it was (decided that unless something should | come up this afternoon, to prevent It, they would go into session immediately after the arguments closed and render a decision this afternoon.
