Entered at the Postofflce In Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. Jimmy Watson and Jimmy Goodrich are in the field for senator and They will probably be nominated and then make runs about as famous as did the former when he went against Torn Marshall for governor and came in on one cylinder and three puntured tires. But what can be done? They will beat anybody who dares to defeat them for the nomination, so there you are! The death of Daniel Weldy removes Srem life one of the last of the rer.l pioneers of this community. He was oue of those who • helped to build this county, coming here in 1845, aeid watched this territory change from forest and swamp to one of the best in all the land. lie not only watched it change but bellied to do it. He was widely beloved and ad mired by all who knew him Mr his splendid qualities. Did you know that times are greatly improved, or hadn’t you noticed anything wrong? The facts are that here in Decatur we go along about as usual, no difference what the trade conditions generally are, but reports from everywhere indicate a stir in business this autumn that will exceed any in years. The fact that a billion dollar war loan for the allies is now being considered would certainly not indicate any real hard times in this nation, would it? The great Adams county fair comes next week and it is to be ttte greatest success in the entertainment line ever given in this county. Are you helping to boost? One of the attractions is an airship flight by Paul Rohrer, the bird boy from home. There will also be a wonderful exhibit of flying by Capt. Gertson who destroys a fort, a regular 1915 act and a new one, then there will be auto races by the men who have shattered word records, and among the visitors of note at the annual gathering will be tlie governor of the state and his staff of state officials. Be sure to plan for the fair. - An observing individual has noticed that there are more silk stockings worn now than a few years ago and really his figures are somewhat startling to those who want to know fur- «. ther reasons for the cost of high liv-

ing. It is given out that in 1880 only 150,000 pairs of silk hose were manufactured in this country, one pair to each 300, while in 1914 the statistics show there were manufactured twen-ty-five million pairs or one pair for each four. In other words there are now being worn seventy-five times as many silk stockings as a few years ago. The real eoat of the increase seems to be because we want it to be. We live better and we spend our money more recklessly. A week of evidence in the Mayor Bell trial at Indianapolis has failed to produce anything very serious so far as the defendant at the bar is incorned. True, Bud Gibson and his saloon partner, Roeder, testified that they were driven away from the polls, sheets and that the mayor asked them how things were coming along; true also that several negroes said they Were driven away frm the polls, but admitted they had no right to vote there, but had been hired to do so by republicans. One cannot help wondering whether the grand jury which indicted the democrats did not overlook some fellows who were even more serionusly engaged in vote buying tnan those they "took in.” The statement by Attorney Ryan that the real conspiracy was to injure the democratic party seems fairly well founded after one week of trial. ttguxuxu mini mxgtnumuuiuuutma ~ I DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK’S CLUB CALENDAR.

BEAT OP CHARLEY Ben Gross and Brownie Wells Break Up Party For the Straubs. FOUGHT WITH BOTTLES Charles Straub Has Gash in Head and Neck—A Saturday Night Party. A big parly was given at the Straub hastelry Saturday night, but for some reason or another a few of the guests did not enjoy themselves as much as they liked, so they decided to beat up on their loyal host. Charley Straub, the well known barber, was in charge of the ceremonies, and doing the entertaining as best he could, but two of the selected guests did not see enough excitement to it and within a few minutes had bottles and chairs flying'in all directions. They picked on Charley, and one of the men hit him over the head with a quart beer bottle, cutting a deep gash several inches long on his forehead. His neck was also cut, from which the blood flew freelf. After they had lain out their host they seemed to be a little more at ease, and they let the rest of the party alone. Charley was bleeding terribly from the cuts he received in the fight and had to call a local physician to take a few stitches in his forehead. The physician stated this morning that if the cuts had not been closed when they were, Straub would have bled to death. He is unable to work today. Among the guests present were Charles and Elsie Straub, Frank Straub the Straub sisters and several others. One of tlie members of the party said this morning that Gross and Wells broke in on them and started to raid the place. It is believed, however, that they were members of the party at first. No affidavits have yet been filed, but it is more than likely that before night a few of the bunch will be in police court. Officer Reynolds was called to the scene, but not until every membier had cleared out. Between six and ten families hang out at the Straub hostelry. o TODAY’S HOOSIER ODDITY.
