Wednesday while the freight train was moving some cars on the switch, Jonathan Houston stepped before one of the frieght cars just as it was struck by the moving tram. The ear struck I him and would have knocked him down on the track, but just in the nick of time a stranger grasped him and rescued him from nis* pcriliuus position. Those who were standing by say he would have been badly injured, if not killed, but for the assistance rendered. It was a narrow escape. C. & A. R. R. Items.

A Course of Lectures. It seems to The Democrat that it would be just what is wanted for the long winter nights now spcedlycoming upon us. for some of our citizens to consult together and organize a lecture association. In no other way, for the money, could there be as much entertainment and instruction. It is important that whatever is done be done at once, as by making arrangements with the lecture bureau now, we can get our pick and choice of the lectures and at lower figures than when their winter engagements have been made. The I. 0. O. F. have for some some time had the matter under advisement and it is to be hoped that they or some volunteer organization will take hold of the matter and carry out the ideas that have been advanced. DECATUR AS A WHEAT MAR KEF. Prices Compared with Stir rounding Places. The Democrat has repeatedly said that Decatur was one of the best markets for produce of auy of the towns surrounding us, and has produced the figures to prove the statement true. Last week The Democrat quoted wheat at $1.40 per bushel, for No. 2 red, which was the ruling price. At the same time the local papers at the places named quoted the same grade of wheat as follows : INDIANA PAPERS. News, Hartford City; Democrat, Huntington; Sentinel, Peru; Times, Bluffton ; Sun, Portland; Journal, North Manchester; Democrat, Marion, $1.35. The Democrat, Monroeville, $1.25: Democrat, LaGrange: Dispatch, Kokomo and Banner, Bluff ton. $l3O. OHIO PAPERS. Herald, Delphos: Times, Van Wert; Independent, Willshire; and Democrat, Celina, $1.35. The Democrat Northwest, $1.33; Bryan Press, $1.33. These quotations show that our produce dealers are paying five, seven and ten cents more for wheat than ojjr neighbors are. This is certainly money in the pockets of our farmers, and The Democrat hopesit will be money in the hands of our wheat buyers, This difference in price has been paid since the wheat harvest. It has brought wheat a long distance to find a better market than was obtainable at home; it has resulted in a booming trade for our business men, been profitable to all, and brought us many new customers who will find it profitable to make this their maket town, and at the same num secure their supplies.

Burglars Visit Us. J. W. Place’s oyster and confectionery establishment was burglarised last Saturday night, and fifteen to twenty dollars taimen from the drawer. Entrance was effected by prying up the back window. There is no sure clue to the burglars. Steele & Barkley's butcher sjjop was visited by burglars Sunday night. The spoils of their raid were about fifty cents. They came in through the back window and left no trace. The parties who went through Place and Steele & Barkley Saturday and Sunday night, were undoubtedly the same. They are no doubt residents of this town. They escaped without detection. This should be a warning to our citizens to be on guard for further raids, and you will be sure to catch them some of these nights. In this town it is a fated calling. Those who have attempted it have generally run short races, which ended in Michigan City, and The predicts that will be the end of those who were engaged in the Saturday and Sunday night burglaries. Town Trustees Meeting. The Board of Trustees met in regular session, Tuesday, Oct. 4th., and made the following allowances : E. S. Cox, blacksmithing for town, repairing road tools $ 14.75 I, C. King services as Clerk, to date 5.35 Braden and Buford record, for town 14.C0 Wm. Geary, buildng sand pit on Front and Madison streets, and work on Adams and Eight street 11.00 John Hildebrand and J.

There was a congregational meeting at ibe M. E. Cbi -eh Wed-vsuay night, for thj pu>puse of dete.ut utng whether it would be best to complete the church thia sea-.ou or wait auolber year. The treasurer, David Studabakcr, made a statement of the finances of the church, from which the following is compiled :

estimated expenses. Moon & Ch. sten, contract $8,873 Heater *OO Pulpit and Seats 600 Sewer and connection 100 Moving bouse and making drain 127 Joseph Crabbs ea.iy 500 Paid architect >SO Gas fixtures Bell, not estimated 11,150 ASSETTS. Valid subscriptions, Sale of old church, 775 Total assets $8,168 Deficiency, $2,982. After a discussion of the financial question, it was deeded to complete the church without de’ay. It is to be Loped that all who feel 'riend’y toward the enterprise will help in kind woids and money, especially money, for it requires money to build churches as well as other buildings. The carpenters are busy slating the roof of the M. E. Church. Last week they began raising the tower. Altogether the work is progressing satisfatory. and there is no reason why the church will not be completed in time for dedieationduring the holidays, as contemplated and announced heretofore. Sabbath School Convention. As the Sabbath School work is important, and as we love the work, let every Sabbath School iu the county be represented in the conjvention. It does us all good and makes us more efficient in the work to come together and consider the most effectual means of conducting our Sabbath Schools. It.is hardiy probable that any Sabbath I School is satisfied with its present con- ! Jition; it is hardly probable that any worker js satisfied with his present attainments. May every Sabbath school i be benefitted by the conyention. Every Sabbath school is helped by becoming acquainted with all the others; hence let every school have a representative | there with a report op the following I items:

1. Name and place of school. 2. To what denomination it belongs, if denominational 3. Name ofSupt. and Secretary. 4. Number of months it is kept up during the year. 5. Whole number enrolled. 6. Average attendance. 7. Any other matters of interest. Let every representative be ready to speak a word, in behalf of the Sabbath school in reference to its interest, progress, etc., etc. These reports will be an important feature in the convention. Such subjects as the following will be presented by competent speakers and considered in five minute talks by | these present. 1. Bible study, the hope of the Church, the Nation’s safety. 2. Work and worth of the Sabbath school. 3. How to promote the habit of thinking on the lesson while engaged in daily labor. 4. Personal effort. Zeal, Love, consecration and expectation necessary to success in Sabbath school work. 5. Several essays on different themes. The exercises will be interspersed with short pieces of appropriate mltsic, familiar pieces by the choir. Let each Sabbath school appoint a singer to be a member of the choir. Exercises begin promptly at 8:30 a. m. and closes at 4 p. m. Intermission at noon, remember your baskets The Convention will be held Saturday. MARRIED.

Ayer’s Pills—-beau-tiful, sugar-coated, glistening globules —universally known and used as a reliable family physic. These pills possess great efficacy as a preventive of, or cure for the diseases incident to this section of the country: especially diseases of the stomach, liver and bowels, which often results in dangerous fever. They also give vigor to the circulation, remove constipation, create an appetite, and aid digestion, thereby promoting health. Their ingredients are entirely vegetable, and they are a safe remedy in the hands of the most inexperienced.— Macon Ga., Telegraph & Messenger.
