Entered at the poatoffice in Decatur,. Indiana, as second class mail. The new theater building looks like a go, and it will show a progressive! spirit that means much. A handsome ’ new three-story block supporting au up-to-date play house will furnish clean amusement for many people ami will be appreciated. Adams county crops never looked better than they do right now. The wheat, oats and corn, the sugar beets, | the hay and all the other crops on ' which this community depends, look like winners and the next harvest should be a day of plenty. A new serum that will cure tuberculosis comes from Asheville, N. C., and as evidence that it is genuine. Senator John W. Kern admits that it did the work for him. He took the treatment four months several years ago and believes it saved his life. Dr. Karl Von 1 Ruk, the discoverer, is anxious that the new treatment be given to the , world, and that suffering humanity have its advantage as soon as possible. The senate is discussing the possibility ■ of testing the serum. 1 Teddy Roosevelt is again in the lime- > light and no doubt happy. Most peo- i pie would feel humiliated If it became i necessary that they prove that they 1 were not drunkards, but not the strenuous Teddy.

The plan of the senate committee — assuming that the committee is sincere—involves a still further approach to the democratic ideal. —Indianapolis i News. DOINGS IN SOCIETY — WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
