From the appearance of the crowds at Steele's park yesterday, an observer would have been lead to believe that the fair had already begun. From early morning until late in the afternoon there was a continual stream of people going to and from the park. This indicates that this year's fair will be a record-breaker, not only in attendance but also in exhibits and other amusements. o COURT HOUSE NEWS.

There’s a famine of mail boxes in the city. That is, mail boxes for sale. Out of five stores, where such are supposed to be handled, there were but two that had them in stock. The two stores each had one or two boxes and they were the clumsy, closed-at-the-top locked affairs, with a clamp attached to hold papers. The other stores were out, but several had some “on the way,” one consignment due to arrive this week. Another will order of the first traveling man who conies along. Unless they come in soon or you are mighty handy with the saw and hammer, yourself, or hire a manual training student to make one, or put up an ordinary cigar box, more than one house not now equipped with a mail box, will not be fitted out before the sixty-day limit expires, as decreed by postal headquarters. In fact the mail box famine is not a new one. The same person who reports the present famine, tried to get a box several months ago. and found only the one variety then to choose from. This is no doubt why more hcu'’es are not fitted up.

MEET IN DECATUR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) cellent and the journey was made very comfortably, although it took two weeks to make the trip the boat, being a slow one. While their journey home was a long and slow one, fraught with many anxieties and attended with inconveniences, neither saw any of the horros of the war, directly. Goettengen is in the central part of Germany and far from the firing line. It was planned, however, to turn the buildings into hospitals for the return of the wounded soldiers, if necessary, but Miss Bertha left too early to see any of the wounded, however, brought home. There were many delays along the way, an dtrips made usually in twelve hours, were extended to for-ty-eight hours. Miss Lucky was not subjected to any great hardships, in the way of lack of food or other accommodations, except delay and crowding. In London she met many who were fleeing from Paris who hud had most dreadful experiences, but those who came byway of Holland, got through easily. One lady who had delayed in leaving Paris, and was therefore t<_ blame for having to suffer hardships, had been forty-eight hours without sleep or food. The university at Goettengen is coeducational, and of the 2,000 students, 200 were girls. About twenty-five were Americans. Miss Luckey stated that student life there is very agreeable, and they were never treated more royally by anybody than by the Germans, and they have only words of the highest praise for the consideration and kindnesses shown them by the Germans. In fact all the nations are kind in their treatment of the Americans and show them every consideration. On account of the uncertainty of the war and its outcome, however, it was thought best to leave, as the embassy thought it quite probable that if the worst came, in Germany, it might be necessary to draft Americans and other foreigners into service for protection. Many of the young men students at the Goettengen university, classmates of the Luckeys, have gone to the front and several of them have already been killed. Many of the soldiers who went to the front from Goettengen and vicinity were among those who lost their lives at the battle of Liege, where the death rate was especially heavy, and the vicinity of Goettengen is indeed heavily stricken. Many of the students were delayed in reaching the front, on account of having to go through with abou tsix weeks of military drilling. While army service is compulsory for a German youth, he may delay entering until he finishes his university course, hence many of the students there had had no military training, having delayed. When the war was called, it was necessary to go into drill. The professors, however, are elderly men, and they retain their places at the university, which will remain open. As their salaries go on, one professor said he would continue to hear the classes, even though he had but one student. Both Paul and Bertha were working for their doctor's degree. It is not known whether they will return to finish their course, and no plans will be made at all until conditions become settled, of course. The civil life in Germany moves on just the same, but of course everything is subject to military drill. While in this city the Luckeys will also be guests of other relatives, their father being a brother of Mesdames John Brock, Martha Spuller and Mary Kern, and their mother a sister of Mrs. J. S. Boyers. They are cousins of Mrs. W. E. Smith, whose mother was a sister of Professor Luckey. o CLOVER LEAF BRAKEMAN Believed to Have Been Murdered — Body Cast Under Wheels. The police of Willoughby and Cleveland and the Nickel Plate detective who have Investigated the case, believe that Brakeman Roy Neff, of the Clover Leaf, was dead or at least badly injured by a knife wielded by a tramp, when he rolled from the top of a car to the tracks, where His body was horribly mangled. The crew on another train witnessed Neff and a man fighting on a car when the train passed and the body was found soon afterward. The deceased was twenty-eight years old. resided in Bellevue, was single and is survived by his parents and two sisters.— Logansport Tribune. FOR SALE—A small, good furnace, with four ten-inch galvanized pipes, for sale, cheap if taken soon. Can be seen at the Methodist parsonage.

Flagler, was born in Canandaigua, N. Y. He was a poor boy. His first employment was as a lumber jack. Having worked for sometime and saved quite a little money, he moved to Cleveland and arrived there at the beginning of the oil business. Having some capital, which he had accumulated by saving, he was able to take advantage of his opportunities and soon became a member of the firm of Rockefeller, Andrews and Flagler. He subsequently moved to Florida, built the Florida East Coast Railway and built and owned a number of magnificent hotels. He left an estate of many millions of dollars. There is just as much chance for your boy to become a great and rich man if you start him with a Savings Account at the First National Bank.
