Miss Mayme Deininger of Decatur, Ind., was the guest of her sister, Mrs E. H. Kilbourne, Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Kilbourne will go to Decatur to spend Easter.—Fort Wayne JournalGazette. The tabernacle was taken down almost as repidly as it was put up and those who missed a day passing that spot were surprised this morning to notice the change made in one days work. The existance of tall plants and trees defends largely on the wind force. A tree with square trunk and branches would offer so much resistance to the wind that its branches would be snapped. Raymond Hartings, of the Hartings & Baker restaurant, has returned from a several days’ visit with some friends at Celina, St. Marys.O., He was accompanied by his sister. Miss Mayme Hartings. Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Black returned to Fort Wayne yesterday afternoon after a visit near Peterson with Mrs. Black’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Myers. Mrs. Black formerly was Miss Lois Myers.

Mrs. Walters and daughter, Corinne, visited here with her mother, Mrs. Alice Whitcomb. Mrs. J. J. Helm and Miss Heian Niblick spent the-afternoon in Fort Wayne on business. What wil: undoubtedly prove a world’s record accomplished if successful, was started yesterday when Francis de Lasko, a young man, started from Washington, D. C. strapped to the saddle of his bicycle and will make the trip to San Francisco, a distance of 3,500 miles. He will eat, sleep and rest on the bicycle. The lock which keeps the young man strapped to the machine has been sealed by a committee of prominent men. It is planned for the Glee club of Indiana university to leave on its annual state trip April 6. It will probably give its first concert at Marion. Other places scheduled are Greenwood, Summitville, Sheridan, Noblesville and Shelbyville. The trip will require about a week. It is also planned to take a week’s trip in the southern pari of the state toward the end of the spring term. The schedule for this tour is not yet completed although it is known now that Petersburg and Princeton will be two of the towns visited. The largest gymnasium in the state and one of the largest in the west is the prospect for Indiana university, according to a statement from Registrar John W. Cravens. Although the full details for the erection of the building, which will cost $150,000, have not yet been completed, the indications are that the highest expectation of the whole student body will be fulfilled. The enthusiasm over the gymnasium has not limited 1 to the university students but has spread throughout the state among the alumni and the friends of the school. The glasses we now know as tumblers differ widely from the drinking vessel to which the name was first applied. These appear to have been of metal or wood, and from their peculiar shape seem to have served as perpetual reminders to pass the bottle. One authority says they were called tumblers, because they could not be set down except on the side when empty; and another derives their name from their original shape, rounded at the bottom so that they tumbled over unless they were carefully set down. An elephant usually sleeps only about five hours out of twenty-four. Peter Messner, violin maker and cabinet worker of Kosciusko county has made a fine violin containing 425 different pieces of wood. He fias made a table containing 500,000 different pieces of wood and "ill now make a violin from relics of wood from everywhere and solicits bits of wood from toothpick size up, and wants the history of each piece. He expects to record the history of each piece of wood used and believes lie will be able to sell the violin for several thousand dollars when completed. In the April American Magazine Ellis Parker Butler writes another boy’s storys in his new series. In the following extract he comments on te-achlers’ liets: “Any fellow pets mad if he is called teacher’s pet,’ even if he is teacher’s pet. A fellow can't, help his teacher liking him if she wants to, but he don't like, to be called that. If a fellow-is pretty bright and learns his lessons without killing himself over them and don't get licked every day or so, he can’t help it if his teacher lets him carry her notes; but when the other fellows yell ‘Teacher’s pet’ at him they mean he’s trying to be her pet, and that makes him sore.” According to prognosticators, April will come in warm and we will Ijpve warm weather on Good Friday, and very warm weather on Saturday, and pleasant weather on Easter Sunday, April 4th. Cloudy weather will prevail on April sth, clear weather on April 6th, and it will be hot with some showers on the Bth. High winds are predicted for the 9th, fair weather on the 10th, and high, winds on the 11th (Low Sunday). Cloudy and rainv weather will prevail on the 12th, it will be cold on the 13th, stormy on the 14th, cold on the 15th, stormy on the 16th and 17th, and high winds will prevail on the 18th. There will be more cold weather on the 19th, squally weather on the 20th, clear and pleasant on the 21st, cold and pleasant on the 22nd, clear and warm on the 23rd, hot, with thunder showers on the 25th, clear and cool on the 26th, very warm on the 27th, clear and warm on the 28th, cloudy on the 29th and rain and thunder storms on the 30th, the closing day of the month.

Isaac Peterson of First street continues very low and is gradually getting weaker. The committee named to take up the matter of a boys and girls gymnasium will meet this evening at eight o'clock to organize permanently. Fred Engle has been ill a week symptoms of typhoid fever and congestion of the lungs. His son, Richard, aged four, who has been ill a week, is better. Leonard Deininger will arrive home today or Wednesday from Renssalaer where he has been attending St. Joseph's college. He will visit with his. parents until after Easter. There is a lot of sisal being destroyed and what is not destroyed is being held up in Mexico by the wars down there. This is bound to make the prices of binder twine for the coming harvest higher probably than for many years. However, the dealers say there is a goodly supply on hand In this country now and that they do not look for such high prices for the early buyers. Later in the season the prices may soar. The skee is recommended as both a lifesaving device and a pleasure craft, combining safety with novelty. It cannot sink; makes better speed than a swimmer, and does not tire the rider as swimming does. It Is most practicable for long distances, and can go through water where there is a heavy undertow, as it sets so high in the water that it is not caught in the grip of the under-cur-rent as the legs of the swimmer are. It doesn't take a long time to master, as the surf-board does; requires no 1 skill in balancing and sticking on; and has the great advantage of being equipped with a motive power, whereas the ordinary surf-board must be pushed and paddled out to sea before it can be ridden in.—April Outing. Farm and Fireside, the national farm paper, published at Springfield, Ohio, has been offering prizes for the best letters telling how to discourage sitting hens. The prize-winning letters are published in the current issue. One of the letters follows: “Using incubators to hatch all my chicks, 1 was confronted every year by the problem of breaking up broody hens, especially since I am keeping the heavy breeds. I had been unable to break them up quickly and satisfactorily until last spring, when I tried the following method with the best results: As soon as a hen wa’nts to hatch I take an old watch which has a loud tick and put it in the nest under the hen. She will at once become nervous ,and will stay on the nest only a few days at the most.” “Get out your bank roll and look era over.” is the advice of Captain Thomas E. Halls, chief of the United States secret service for the district of Ipdiana. If the said ’’bank roll" is so fortunate at to contain any Uncle Sam’s legal tender in the form $lO notes, it would be wise to pay particular attention to those bills. You may be saving for a rainy day a bill that does you as much good as a cigar coupon. There are some raised $5 national bank notes in circulation in Indiana. The work is cleverly done, and the notes easy pass the casual .glance. Bills of that denomination seldom stay in one person’s hands long enough to get more than the casual glance. The raised notes are easily delected however, by any one time to examine the notes. Any $lO national bank note containing the picture of Presidents Harrison or Garfield has been raised. There are no $lO notes with either of those pictures on them. All genuine notes containing either of these pictures are $5 bills. All the raised bills which have so far been detected contain the picture of President Harrison.

Maundy Thursday or holy Thursday during holy week, which is observed tomorrow in the Catholic church, is the feast of the institution of the Holy Eucharist. According to 'the Roman missal, it is called the Thursday of the Lord's supper. It is known as Maundy Thursday from the ceremony of washing the feet, called in the rubric “Mandatum,” which is th efirst antiphon sung during the ceremony. The mads of this day differs from the rest of the office. That of the Hcly Eucharist is celebrated. a subject, therefore, of joy and thanksgiving, expressed by the ringing of bells, the white color of the vestments and the ornaments of' the altar. For, although the church is wholly occupied during this week with the passion of Christ, yet she could not refrain from some expression of joy and gratitude on the very day when our Lord was pleased to give so wonderful a pledge of His love; But after the “Gloria in excelsis” the bells are silent during the remainder of this day, all Good Friday and Holy Saturday, until the- recurrence of the same angelical hymn on the last mentioned day. This is intended to honor the wonderful silence of the Savior during His passion, and to express the mourning of the church’ for the death of her Spouse.

BARON ROTHSCHILD DEAD. London. Mar. 31 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild, head of the greatest banking firm in the word, died this afternoon at the age of seventy-four.

Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 31 —(Specialfto Daily Democrat) —It was understood that Mayor Roberts may take the stand late today. He admitted to(day he would testify in his defense. Roberts, it was understood, will declare that whatever conspiracy existed was framed by Chief of Police Holler and Night Chief Nugent, confessed conspirators, and that he had no power over them. The government s answer will be that Holler and Nugent were appointed by Roberts, because he know they would-be valuable men in his crooked work. o GERMANS AGANDON SIEGE. Petrograd, Mar. 31—(Special to the Daily Democrat) —The Germans have abandoned the siege of Polish fortress of Ossowctz, said a semi-official announcement today. After several weeks of battering away the enemy found further progress impossible and yesterday began drawing the siege guns toward the Prussian border. The German retirement at this point indicates the collapse of Van I Hiudenberg’s whole campaign against ■ the Wqrsaw-Perrograd railway, ac- | cording to the war office.

A sure sign of a dead one is the lack of local pride. People who live in a live, prosperous town show it. Their stores are attractive, their streets clean, their homes are well painted. Nothing shows a lack of pride, a lack of prosperity, like paint-hungry buildings. Let's paint up. As the most durable and economical paint, we recommend Eckstein White Lead (Dutch Boy Painter Trade Mark) and pure linseed oil, mixed tighten the job, to suit the job. Have your painter tint it any color you wish. We carry all other paint necessaries also. Consult us on that job of painting you hate in mind. Today's the day. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.
