Entered at th e postofflce in Decatur, Indiana, as second class matter. The city council last evening made the appropriations for the ensuing year, fixed the salaries for a term of officials and employees for a term of ' four years, and placed the city tax 1 rate for next year at $1.37, a reduc- 1 tioh of fifteen cents over last year. Two years from now should bring to the taxpayers of Decatur a greatly < reduced tax rate and with proper * management it will. It is important , that you assist in selecting men foi ] , cffice who are qualified and who have at interest tire welfare of the city. Fort Wayne has an epidemic o!., diphtheria that has spread to every , section of that city. An order iias ~ been issued to each teacher requiring j her to ask each pupil eacji morning• v whether he has a sore throat or Pvt! and if lie has, he is to be hustl’d off home on double-quick time. : I —-— | i We met a man this morning who' w had hunted au hour for a man to do ; a common labor, offering two dollars per ; n day. and then had to give it up, ami ] li still there are those who would hav> s you believe that times are hard.

«• ■ 1! t V ' '1 There Is No Mystery in This Fact . I < that, season after season-year ! after year-our customers return to us for their clothes. It simply goes to prove,-first, that our customers are discriminating judges of values, and second, that the clothes we sell in every way meet the standard that our customers set.. And here’s why,-because we have learned where and how to select the merchandise we sell. We have found through years of experience that Michael-Stern Clothes at moderate prices will look better and wear longer than any others. SUITS $12.50 to $25.00 The Myers-Dailey Go.

is practically impossible to secure laborers. Interest in the coming primary, when the democrats will select their candidates for the November city election, is Increasing and several candidates will announce their names Within a day or two. livery citizen of Decatur should feel the desire to help in selecting the men who will hate control in Decatur for four years. The weather prognosticators say tiiat the coming winter is to be an open one and offer as proof the facts that last winter was severely cold and the past summer extremely hot. also that the birds have not yet started southward and there is a big crop o' hickory nuts- Os course, a fellow who don't believe in hoodoes. can't just see j how these things effect it, but we are satisfied with the announcement and will make no effort to disprove it. The management of the Fort Wayne ' < fair selected a bum week for their last ( exhibit, rainy mornings have been the ’ rule, and the people of Adams county know how to sympathize with them, it's a tough proposition to work all summer, tie up your money, and th- n t watch tile clouds gather and the rains ] c fall at the moment when each drop is i # | £ losing you dollars, but if any one has figured out tiow to outguess the weather man and do it three months), in advance he hue never told his ae 1I ciet ■ ' Tile council raised the salaries oi . the city officials last evening and their action w ill be endorsed by those who study the question- Cheap men are always more expensive than good men and in these days of expensive living it is wrong to ask a man to ] serve as city treasurer for less than H.OOO, especially when he is asked to furnish a large bond, to collect sever- .*]

al thousand dollars each month and to keep an office open where people can be waited on any hour in the day. Even with the increase Decatur is stdi below the salaries paid in any other city this size in this part of the stat’. Under the increase the marshal will receive $75 per month, the clerk gets an increase of ssu |>er year, the mayor stoo and the others slight boosts. II is only possible to make these changes at this time and these salaries remain fixed for four years. ANNOUNCEMENTS For Mayor.
