The r funeral services were held this afterr noon from the Lutheran church at Monroeville. 1 A difHcult and costly piece of work that is believed to be unique in the j history of building operations is now . being carried out at Winnipeg. Canada. Tins work consists of nothing less than restoring to its upright position, and ' finally to its original level, the 20,000- ’ ton concrete elevator that sank into ’ the ground and tilted about 30 degrees r out of plumb last October. The Au- . ust Popular Mechanics Magazine tells 1 how the project is being executed. Jeff Sonday of West Manfield street was surprised very agreeably Saturday to receive a visit from his brother Sam of Decatur, Indiana. The meeting was ■ an auspicious one, gained in importt ance from the fact that the brothers . have not met for a period of seventeen ■ years. The guest is impressed very favorably with Bucyrus and will re- ' main for a few days’ visit. He will also visit at Marion and Venodica, Ohio.— Bucyrus Telegraph.

Veigli Chronister arrived in this city yesterday trom Toledo for a short vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Chronister. He left thia afternoon for a several days visit at Rome City, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Coffee, Mrs. Marie Coffee, and the Messers Baker and Shea of Fort Wayne, motored to this city last evening and visited for several hours at the home of Postmaster and Mrs. J. W. Bosse. Mrs. J. H. Heller, daughter Fannie and son Dick, and Miss Lizzie Peterson and little Mary Catherine Allweln went to Rome City this morning where they will enjoy a few weeks’ outing. Mr. Heller will join his family Sunday. George Mumma Tuesday completed drilling a well in the bottom of the deep pit at the waterworks when he struck shale at depth of 318 of feet from the surface of the ground. There is a good flow of water and Supt. Clark estimates it at about 100 gallons a minute. The drilling apparatus will be moved and one more and possibly two more holes will be sunk in the bottom of the pit. If the flow from the other two wells is as good as that from the first hole the water supply problem will cease to be a formidable one for several years.—Bluffton News. Returning from the home of his only only, about three-thirty o’clock, Leonard Irwin, of near Warsaw, got in the way of Pennsylvania passenger train No. G. Eastbound, and lost the rear wheels off his buggy as a result. Irwin was asleep and did not know the train was near until the engine carried away part of the rear wheels', as the buggy was crossing the tracks at Shelby crossing, West of Warsaw. The sleeping driver was tossed out of the rig by the jar, while his horse ran home with most of the outfit, leaving Irwin walking down the road whistling. The train was in charge of Engineer George Venosdale and Conductor P. O. Dinklage. The Erie railroad conducted a test recently at Binghampton, N. Y., of the pulling power of its new centipede locomotive, the latest marvel of the railroad. This giant weighs 410 tons and has 24 driving wheels, eight of them being under the tender to secure additional driving power. The officers in charge kept adding car after car of coal to the train, until it consisted of 250 fully loaded steel “battleships” with a total weight of 21,000 tons. The locomotive pulled this train for 40 miles at the rate of 15 miles an hour, being a new trainload record for American railroads as well as for the world. The train was easily 1,000 tons heavier than ever before pulled by a locomotive. With the completion of the proposed improvements to its factory now located at Pierceton, by the Ried, Murdock Co., Piercton may boast of the biggest sauer kraut factory in the world, and when the season of 1914 is at an end and the kraut gets in its best state of perfection, a fellow with a good smeller ought to be able to sniff the aroma in the air as far away as this city, for there will be tons upon tons of it. Little Dick, who was in the habit of receiving a good old-fashioned punishment when he said naughty words, was much excited the other day when he found his mother washing out the new baby’s mouth with an antiseptic. “Hooray for her!” he cried, looking at Little Sister with dawning admiration. “Aw Mother, tell me what she said, wont you?”—August Woman’ Home Companion.

No ball bearings to get out of order and ne!cessitate expensive rc|»irs. Perfectly made bearings, perfectly lubricated, give an easy running and a much longer wearing machine. The new style De Laval is so simple in construction that anyone can put it together or take it apant without any trouble. All parts are strongly made and substantial. Clean skimming and durability are the result of perfect De Laval construction. Come in any time and look aDe Laval over for yourself. It will be I well worth your while if you like to look at a well made machine. j *' JNO. SPUHLER £ DECATUR OSS

THE FIREFIGHTERS Are Criticized in Many Cities For Paying too Much Attention to Outside MANY LARGE LOSSES Have Caused Experts to Express Opinion Concerning the Equippments. Indianapolis, Ind., July 30 —Fire departments in various cities of Indiana have been receiving much criticism recently tor alleged failure to meet the emergency, which comes to fire-fight-ing business when it is least expected. One case in point is that of Miller, near Gary where the village fire fighters were so distracted by the appearance of pretty bathers in one-piece suits that they allot, ed a baru to be destroyed. Other instances have ap peared where the firemen are said to have had even less excuse. At Vincennes a fire committee and citizens declared that the hose used did not have a nozzel, and tjiat this important attachment was missing at just the time when its presence might have prevented a disastrous fire. These alleged facts were printed in a Vincennes newspaper, and the police chief became so angered over them that he assaulted the reporter said to have written the story. The newspaper printed the statements of many citizens who said the nozzle was lacking. LaPorte's department seemed to have made friends with a jinx or hoodo for the engine arrived at the home of Earl Wise forty minutes after the fire started and after citizens had gotten the fire under control by means of a garden hose. The volunteer firemen hooted and jeered the paid crops when the gaudy wagon drew up. The excuse given was that the alarm system sent the department on the wrong track and that after further confusion due to a misunderstanding over the telephone, h the department found itself several miles from the fire. Jasonville with its $300,000 fire loss is the most striking example of inadequate equipment, small water supply and the combination of dry weather. • PATRONS NOTICE.

A servant dropped the gun.
