ed an enthusiastic campaign to secure the election of a woman to the city school board, and they are said to be receiving considerable encouragement even from the politicians of the city. The time is coming in Indiana when we will see at least one woman holding membership on the school board of every city of any considerable size, and there is no reason for longer delaying the inauguration of a plan that promises so much for the welfare of the schools. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. Thirty-five young men and women have concluded their work in the Decatur high schools and will Friday evening received their diplomas, which will be real evidence of that fact This week the good-byes are being said and within a few years these thirty-five young people will be scattered over many states and will be devoting their lifes to varied work. More and more each year it is proven that those who educate themselves become the real workers. The self-made man is all right, but he must now make himself first by educating himself. Those who go from high school to college will be even better prepared for the struggle and those who have to wor k their own way through college will be better fighters .than those who do not. It's a good, clean, representative class of boys and girls. We are proud of them and believe they will take the places allotted to them in life and each do his or her part well.

Your Milk Cans raoii FaOR ONE of the state to see to It that this law is rigidly enforced. We trust that you will give us your hearty support in our efforts to secure observance of law. H. E. BARNARD, State Food and Drug Commissioner May 16, 1913. Th e above law will be especially welcome to the milk dealers of Decatur. In many cases where bottles of milk are left with the customers, the bottles are allowed to accumulate day after day, and then returned in a large lot to the milk man. Often they are left uncleansed. In hot weather, especially, when the milk sours in the bottle, or becomes dried or after several days, it is very hard to cleanse and keep from tainting the milk with which the bottle will be filled. A very little cleansing at once will save much labor later on. _o . Burned Today fContinued free* Page J) Willard Hosier, the fireman, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leander Hosier, prominent farmers of Union ~ township. He was 23 years of age. married and the father of two children. He had returned to engine 2557 with Engineer Dickinson only a few days previous, having ben serving as an extra freight engineer. The wife was visiting in Andrews when informed of his tragic death and is reported on the verge of prostration. The condition of the bodies makes viewing the remains impossible. The body of Mr. ickinson was removed to the home on North Byron street late Monday, but pending the arrival of the children no funeral arrangements have been made. The funeral will, however, probably be held Wednesday. The body of Fireman Hosier was taken the home of his parents In Union township Monday morning.

Hope cemetery. As the sad news of the wreck and its results spread over Huntington, a pall was cast over the city. Crowds gathered about the streets and the fate of the two prominent Erie men was the topic of conversation throughout the day.

BEAT AGED MA Anna Eliza Stauffer, Maiden Lady, Becomes Insane and Beats Aged Man WITH BROOM STICK Was His Housekeeper—ln-1 quest Held Today—Result Undetermined. Becoming violently insane. Anna Eliza Stauffer, a maiden lady, forty-two years ,of age, beat an aged and helpless man so violently over the head with a broomstick this morning that neighbors became alarmed and began proceedings to have her taken into cusjtody. Her victim was the aged and I nearly helpless man for whom she had (been keeing house for some time. He ,1s a frail old man, and as Miss Stauffer , weighs some two hundred pounds, he iwould be no match at all for her strength, rendered the greater by her insanity. Deputy Sheriff Kelly was telephoned to this morning, but having no authority to arrest her, telephoned to Dr. Reusser of Berne to hold an inquest. Dr. Reusser, another physician and a justice of the peace went to the scene and proceeded to investigate. They found her insane beyond a doubt; but she has also been feebleminded fortwenty-two years, and having some doubt as to whether she could be admitted to the asylum, they fear to recommend her as such. In the meantime, the neighbors are keeping watch over her .until it will be determined what can be done with her, as they i fear for the old man's safety should he be left alone with her.

The insanity has been coming upon her for some time. Only last week she went to Berne to do some shopping and among other things bought a baby buggy, for which she has not the slightest use. According to the laws, insane people, also feeble minded, are not admitted to the asylum; nor are feeble-minded women, in an excitable condition, admitted to to the home for feeble-minded. The case of this woman is similar to that of Sarah Hirachy, which came to notice last winter.
