President Wilson yesterday touched a I utton which si t off the dynamite j exploding the Gamboa dyke, the last barrier to water communication in the Panama canal. It was an important moment and a wonderful feat of telegraphy especially planned (or the occasion. There are two eartli slides yet to be removed before boats cun vse the canal, but the job is far enough along to assure its completion by January 1, 1915, when the canal is to be opened. The spirit of the occasion is what cents at such an event as tile dedication of the soldiers’ monument. Every i>erson in Adams county has' the highest regard for the men and: women who sacrificed and suffered; during the war days and they are glad of the recognition to be given ’ them soon when the l>eautiful new | inc nument w ill be dedicated. When they ask you to sing “Columbia” on, that day do it. with the force that will show your feelings. Blind with prejudice is he who will. not admit that the democrats have during the past eight years achieved | things that have benefitted every < itizen of Decatur. They have pad; off the debt or at least so much of it that we are below the limit and our lintnees are no longer a bugbear. They have done it. too. without Inert asing the tax over what it was be tore they went in. If given four years forger they will wipe put the debt, reduce the tax to a point where it v i ! l phase every one and will keep lip the improvements. Mayor Toepie will not lie a candidate for the repubican nomination for mtyor. He has served with Charles Christen for nearly four years, and re« ognizes and admits his ability to conduct the affairs of the city.

This quilt which has been on exhibition in the Boston store window contains 525 names, nicely worked in appropriate colors, the names of the officials in the school, the names of this particular Sunday school class, the names of the Union Chapel society, the names of the business and professional men of the city and even the name of Governor Ralston, who paid for and permitted his name to be worked on the quilt. This is very attractive and handsomely worked and contains such names of donators who are generous and liberal towards supporting an enter prise of this nature, thus making the quilt an appropriate article for future references, not only to the in dividual who will add honor to his r.nme by buying the quilt at this sale but will be greatly prized by the com ■ng generations. The church building is how being remodeled at a great expense and will be more mod ern in style and convenience, besides new and up to date seats are now contemplated, also a new lighting system.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT TWO FOND HEARTS WERE HENCEFORTH TO BEAT AS ONE. j — Os Course, Hi* Popping of Momentous Question Was Sudden, but as a Matter of Fact It Generally I* That Way. “I suppose, ’’ she said, after she had : slyly glanced at the mirror to assure herself that her hair was becomingly | arranged, “that you will think 1 am I old-fashioned when I tell you that I 1 have learned to darn as neatly as my j grandmother ever did." ’ Oh, can you?” he replied. “And I have taken a complete • course in domestic science." • “It is getting quite fashionable for I girls to do that, isn’t it?" “Not at all. I don't believe one girl | in 100 takes the course —no, not one 1 in 1,000.” “What do you get out of domestic science?’’ "Dear me! Haven’t you been interested in It at all? I should think every man would be—every young man, especially. We get nearly everything that is worth while out of it. 1 have learned to cook and manage a house- I hold on scientific principles." "That sounds interesting. Supposing ■ you had a household now, how would j you proceed to manage it?” "Os course, It would all depend on ! the household. One wouldn't expect to manage a S2O-a-week household in the same way that a SIO.OOO-a-year household should be managed.” "Say a S4O-a-week household. Do you think anything worth while could be j done with that kind?” "O, I'm sure 1 should be able to make it perfectly delightful. You see 1 am able to make my own shirtwaists, coo, and having an abundance of hair of my own. I shouldn't need to spend money for switches and such | things.’’ "And I shave myself, and hardly ever emoke so my personal expenses wouldn't amount to much," he put in. "And I know all about buying at the butcher's and the grocer's," she said. . “I have an uncle who is in the fur- ; .niture business, and he would let me j have such things as chairs, tables, ! bureaus and beds at cost." 'Of course, father would expect to , let me have my piano, and my cousin j ! George, I think, wouid be able to fix ; it so that we ecuid get rugs at a very j < reasonable price.” “Well, then .shall we consider it all | i settled?” “What do you mean?” "Why, what we have been talking ! ; about. We're going to get married, i ; aren t we?” "Reaiiy, do you mean it?” "Certainly. What do you suppose 1 meant?” Why, I —l thought you merely i wanted me to explain domestic sci- , cnee. But, if you insist, 1 feel almost i I cure that I—that I can learn to love j , you. Would you want me to be ready i j as soon as a week from next Thursday?” — It Happened In the Suburbs. She was running across lots to' catch the 1:25 train far New York. It! was precisely 1:24(4 and the train al I -eady was panting into the station. At, ; her heels was a youngster making as! good time as he could, and he was, ; crying. By the time she reached the I station steps she was a good one hun dred yards ahead of the little boy. but I he kept at it. rrying louder and louder The conductor was holding tbe | train for her. "Madam,” Bald the conductor, as she | climbed up tbe ear steps, “who is that little boy?” ’My youngest," she said perfectly breathless. "What’s he crying for?” "I Jidn't have time to kiss him good by” "Well, you get right off this train I and kiss him. We can wait better ' than he can." The conductor stood with his hand j on the signal cord while tbo operation was performed, and then the train | went off. leaving the youngster happy j and smiling.—New York Sun. Value of Appreciation. To know that we are a disappointwent to our friends has a paralyzing effect on our energies, and there are many people in the world who have failed simply from want of encouragement and appreciation. We feel It our duty to find fault where blame I* merited, but uro not nearly so earefut to acknowledge work w«l| dene, or to show gratitude for services willingly performed. ... It Is the dumb, silent folk who meet appreciate warm hesrtrd words and action*. What a much brighter world It would be if we were more generous In this respect; how happy we might make our friends If we gave them the benefit of our torla* thoughts instead of locking them tightly In our own breasts.—Jesslo de Horne Valzey.
