Smith left this morning for their home in Columbia City after a visit here with the W. L. Gunder family. A Boston youth was awarded a hero medal for saving the life of a cat. What would they have given him for rescuing a codfish? The average man realizes the adage about a fool and his money until he has bumped up against some other man’s game. Charles Dunn of Decatur arrived here this morning for a few dpys’ visit with his family, and also to look after some business affairs. —Bluffton News.

J. D. Winteregg of Berne was a business visitor here yesterday. It is a wise father who brings his son up to be either a doctor or an architect. What has become of the old-fasm ioned man who knew what was good for frost bites? Lloyd Magley, who has been ill a week of the measles, is recovering and is able to sit up.

It Miss Mary Frisinger of Decatur arrived here this morning to spend a few days visiting among friends, and also attending the high school basket ball tournament. —Blqffton News. Ray Collins, of the Morris five and ten cent store, who has been quite sick with heart and stomach trouble, is reported better today, though ne is unable to be out yet. is said to be at the head or a Fort Wayne troupe of beauties who have been rehearsing songs and various stunts, and who expect to put on a vaudeville performance in this, city in the near future. Rev. C. A. Glass, the blind evangelist of Grand Rapids, Mich., who conducted a very successful revival for the last four weeks in Berne, at the Evangelical church, is spending a few days in Decatur and attending the tabernacle meetings.

"No," said his father, "what makes you ask a question like that while we are eating?" “You had one on your lettuce,” replied Tommy, "but it’s gone now.” An Indianapolis man recently shook the hand of a man who stole his wife, according to a dispatch from that city. There are doubtless many who would be willing to kiss the very ground the-man-who-would-steal-his-wife walks on if it could be managed. Albert Winans, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Winans, is at home for a visit after ten years in the regular army, a great part of which he spent in the Philippines. His visit, though somewhat of a surprise, is nevertheless proving a happy one for all concerned. L. F. Schroeder has returned from Cecil, Ohio, making the trip by automobile yesterday. The roads were very sleety and his machine turned around twice. Once it went into a ditch and he had to get a team to pull it out. Nothing was broken, however. Miss Doris Erwin, daughter of D. B. Erwin, of North Second Street, had the misfortune to slip on the icy steps in front of her home last evening, spraining the ankle of her left foot. The attending physician considers it a very severe sprain and Miss Doris is suffering much pain from the injured rftember. Messrs. J. D. Nason, Henry Nason and J. DeGuss, owners of the Saginaw Sugar factory at Sturgis, Mich., were in the city yesterday and while here purchased two teams of horses for use on their farms.

The notice was also found nailed to Obenour’s house.
The following “don’ts” for women who drive are taken from the current issue of Farm and Fireside: “Don’t drive two colts hitched up together till each have been driven several times with older and steadier horses. Don’t trot over any kind of a bridge or crossing. It injures the horses, harness and vehicle, and in case there is a hole in tlte bridge it may mean a killed or badly crippled horse.” While making his announcements at the tabernacle last evening, Evangelist George Stephens made it known that he had received many anonymous letters which he stated critlsised his work greatly. He now is to make the practice of destroying and not reading any letter with no signature to it. Mr. Stephens complained that he had received more letters of this kind here than any other city of this size that he has been in.—Bluffton News. Pat had been told by the doctor that he could live but a few hours, and his wife and assembled ' relatives and friends asked him whether there was one last wish he would like to have gratified. “There is,” said Pat. “I’d like to hear the village band play once again.” Accordingly the the village tend gathered. When at last it had played “Say Au Revoir, but Not Goodbye,” and had taken its own departure, Mrs. Pat, kneeling at her husband's bedside, asked: “Can ye die aisy, now Pat?” “Yls,” replied Pat. “I can die aisy now. Hell has nothing worse than that.”—Successful Farmer. One of the latest of inventions for saving life at sea is a breeches-buoy apparatus designed for use when a ship has been wrecked near shore. The line is fired from a mortar of the usual type, carried on board the ship, and the new feature is in the line-caY-rying projectile, which is so made that it'anchors itself automatically. This grappling hook, or anchor, fixed to a solid-steel cylinder, the weight of the cylinder being such as to cause the prongs to wedge themselves securely among the rocks on shore. The line attached to the projectile is a steel rope having a tensile strength of :•,• 000 pounds. A picture of the device in use appears in the March Popular Mechanics Magazine.

HAVE BUSY DAY House Confronted With a New Resolution by Suffrage Advocates. THE AMENDMENTS Killed by Unanimous Action—Pass Bill to Eliminate Trading Stamps. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The governor today signed the Van Nuys bill which will enable him to appoint Gilbert ri. Herndin, chief of the state board of accounts, for a new four-year term. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Senator Thornton’s bill to wipe out the trading stamp business was passed by the house today by a vote of 73 to 7 and sent to the governor for his signature. It requires a prohibitory license of SI,OOO from merchants who wish to engage in the business. Representative Harvey had said that it was time the legislature did something for the merchants. The legislature had refused to take a vote on the garnishee bill. This bill is aimed only at trading stamp companies and would not affect tobacco coupons. Rebatt* systems of individual merchants are specifically exempted. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 6—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The bill introduced by Representative Van Hom, providing that on petition of 50 per cent of the abutting property owners ornamental light posts can be erected and providing that all property owners shall stand the costs, passed the senate today. The bill clears up a condition existing in Hammond and Bluffton. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Honrs of women labor will be unlimited in Indiana for two more years as the house today killed the bill that had been so amended that the limit was ten hours a day. Niblick and others who believed in limiting hours of women labor, united in killing the bill after the house had refused to make the limitation stricter. Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—The house today bunched the remaining Stotsenberg arhendments and killed them by unanimous action. The legislature was immediately confronted by the suffrage issue in new form. The women's lobby flashed a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment for full suffrage. This was intended for introduction this afternoon. It could not be introduced while the Stotsenberg amendments were pending. Even should this proposed amendment succeed in this session, women suffrage could not come before the general election of 1318, because of constitutional provision requiring that two assemblies approve proposed amendments. The women still clung today to the faint hope that lay in the Rule limited suffrage measure, a duplicate of the Matson bill which died in the house. They hope the house would vote on the Rule bill but were not optimistic. Mrs. F. C. Stinson, who held the amendment resolution, also desired a vote on the question of holding a constitutional convention, saying it would aid the women’s power.
Indianapolis, Ind.. Mar. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Representative Eschbach, republican minority leader, explained a visit which he made to Governor Ralston today. "The governor sent for me to see if I would let the democrats in the enrollment cut two paragraphs out of the Feick bill for mediation and arbitration in labor disputes, which were left in by and conflicted witli the rest of the bill," said Eschbach. “Certainly, I was willing to let the democrats carry oiit their platform. The more they carry it out the better tor us.” ■■■'■'■O' Joe Burr of Monmouth was a business visitor here today. Festus Rhoten, general manager of the Morris five and ten cent store, is here on business. Although coming ages may see the coal supply exhausted, we can still get our Iron from the. sea.
