Lamb of Terre Haute removes from Indiana politics one of the leading democratic work-) ers. For many years he has been rec-1 oguizcd aa a strong man of the state' and it was conceded that he was to become the ambassador to Mexico.' His death at (his time is deeply regretted by his many admirers. The teachers of Adams county will hold their annual institute \n this city , next week, the always important i event being the first of its kind for ! E. S. Christen, thq new superintend- j ent. The program as printed in icday’s paper is proof that it will be a , big week for those interested in edu ' cational work. Decatur will welcome the teachers. And Alb- r Vestal is to be tie ‘ goat” of the Eighth district republicans. In the old days when a nomination meant an election in this district, Albert had ambitions along this line but the “nothing doing” sign was always hung out. Now that everybody knows he will be lucky if he runs second, he is given the empty honor. Well, somebody had to do it.

The people of this community are proud of Mr. George E. Wemhoff, who has recently been elected president of ne National Monumental Dealers’ as- 1 Tli was chosen without onposition. a’though for ev.'ry ctli r ’ that the membership recognized bis fitness for the place. He will make good and he will help the world to know that Decatur, Indiana, is on the map. The upward tendency of the market ' on wheat, corn, oats, cattle, hogs, (

sheep, horsM, potatoes and onions and all the products of the farm will have to be headed off someway, or [Charley Lane will have to write a new speech to be used in the campaign this fall. His argument that taking off the tariff on farm products would ruin the market for the American farmers has developed into nothing but bunk and he will be forced to change tactics, or make Ms t ,tk= rldlcu’ous. —Columbia City Po’* Chautauqua days are here and they are to be pleasant, happy and profitable days if the first day's entertainment is any criterion. The big tent was packed to the doors last night an! the crowd gave every evidence that 'they enjoyed the program every minute. The Dunbar bell ringers gave a [delightful hour and Mr. Gilliland, one of the greatest humorists of the modern lecure field, gave a rambling entertaining talk that kept the audience in a- roar, except for occasional minutes when the wise lecturer was slipping across a little advice in just such away that it will be remembered for a long time. It was good and the rest of the program will be of the 'same high grade. You can't afford to miss a single session. Every afternoon and evening is a treat and the morning hours are filled with splendid features for the children as well as the older people. Decatur is a member of the great Redpath association of chautauquas, and we are all glad of it. AT THE CRYSTAL Lietenant Herbert Nordwall and his sister, Miss Wilhelmina, will be the ! leading attraction at the Crystal theater this evening. Miss Wilhelmina has a delightful, clear, sweet voice which captivates the entire audience. Lieutenant Nordwall is an exceptionally interesting man and was beforI ing succumbing to the wanderlust, a commissioned officer in the army of . the Netherlands. The story of his first world circling jaunt, relating his hardships, privations, comical incidents and impressions while wandering from the banks of the Zuyderzee to Broadway and showing the customs of the quaint , quqiet people of the land of the dykes. A rare treat, novel, out of the ordinary, refined and instructive. In addition to this our regular program will given. Don’t fail to see and hear them. The price |of admission is 5 and 10 cents. o A PRELIMINARY MEETING
