THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. Decatur Markets. Oats 38. Eggs 18 Corn 55. Butter 18 Flax seed 11.25. Wheat 1.25(5,1.30 Clover seed $4.50 (5; $4.70 Timothy seed $1.50 $.2-00 Locals. Tfio young people are wishing for ice. Butter aud eggs command fancy prices. The stage in the new Catholic school house is a beauty. Mr. C. Falls, of Fort Wayne, was in town Monday. M. J. Huffman has our thanks for late Tennessee papers. Our Geneva correspondence was “cribbed” by some one. A. McCann shipped a mixed car load of cattle and hogs to Cincinnati, last week. J. E. McKendry & Co. will have another train of bolts over the G. R. & I. next Saturday. The literary club is a popular institution of our schools at present. Young people could make much worse use of their time. The members of the Nameless club were pleasantly entertained at the residence of Mr. E. Woods, by Miss Flo. on Saturday evening. Samuel Cronister purchased of the heirs, Tuesday, the Green B. Sewell farm of ninety acres —consideration $3,000, which is considered cheap.

A search warrant is all that is wanted to develop the sneak thieves now. The man who swears one out will deserve the gratitude of this community. Get you ready for the entertainment at the new M. E. Church. February 14. Oyster fixings and a valentine postoffice during the day and evening. Some of the candidates would yery much like to know when the primary election is to be held. The Democratic Central Committee will answer the question in due time. John Eiting, has men busy at work on the store room in the Odd Fellows' building, getting it ready for occupancy. Mr. Eiting proposes to have one of the nicest business rooms in town. A stranger tired of the sins and follies of this life, jumped from the big suspension bridge. Cincinnati, last week, into the river below, aud brought his troubles to an end, sc far as this world goes. The Knights of Pythias Lodge acompained by their cornet band, will attend a grand Banquet and Ball at Bluffton, on the 16th., given by the K. of P’s of that place. Our boys will go in full uniform. The Fancy store was removed from the Odd Fellows' building to the east side of Second street, in the room formerly occupied by David Falb as a shoe store. Old customers are invited to call, new ones, everybody included, ditto. Three briek churches are to be built in this county the coming summer. A Catholic church in Jefferson township, recently destroyed by fire. A Lutheran church in Union and Preble townships. These will be fine specimens of country churches. The pressure of legal advertising upon our columns, Jjas prevented us giving as full a local report as desirable. and has also compelled us to omit our county correspondence to some extent. Hereafter, if possible, these omissions will not occur.

Look out for the man with the hand cart. He has been seen at a very late It opr in different parts of the town. Last Saturday night he crossed the G. JL & I. IL R. at Hart's mill, about 12 o’clock, with his cart loaded. Rather a late hour for an honest man to be going home with goods honestly obtained. A short time since there was an inquiry of where, how, etc., Allen county had so many children of school age. Py referring to qur notice of births this week, it will be seen that the probabilities are not remote when the question will become a subject of legitimate inquiry as to Adams county as qs W Amos Ainjwqrth, one of the young W en implicated in the rape case, at WilljUire, was tried at I an M ert, last week, found guilty, but has not been sentenced. The defendants demanded separate trials. It looks as if a ll would be convicted nqj, as they put Aipaworth forward as the least guilty, hoping he would get clear of the charge and thus influence the trials to follow.

The ‘-Drunkard's Warning,’ played at. Kover'a Hall Saturday sight, ~«<? dered by home talent under the auspicies of the young peoples' temperance organization, had a fair house. The play was not as good as it should have been, in consequence of not having paro carefully 1 committed on the part of some of the actors, but it was more than made up by some of the by plays, which were heartily enjoyed -by the audience.

1 ramps are not as fashionable in this section as they were.

‘•Mailing’' an 1 “A trip to the Sunny South will appear next week.

Rev. Dustman, is conducting a revival at the Evangelical church.

A dose of cold lead will be administered to some of the sneak thieves some of these nights. Sausage and buckwheat cakes is a popular dish and make some people come to the scratch.

The 10 cent store has arrived in town and now ready for business, nearly opposite the postoffice. The T. D. & B. R. R. will soon run an accommodation train from Delphos to Marion, making a round trip each day. Dorwin & Holthouse, have taken out the partition in their store room, making it much larger and more commodious. Schumm is the name of a new postoffice recently established on the T. D. & B. R. R.. four miles east of Willshire. Dr. R. A. Curran has rented the room now occupied by John Eiting, and will move his stock into the same about the first of April. The adjourned term of the Adams circuit court convened Monday, several old cases have been disposed of. The amount of building in prospective for next season is increasing rapidly. The coming summer will be a busy one for our mechanics. Ohl probabilities would get the grand bounce if some fellow would give us satisfactory predictions of cold, sufficient for a good crop of ice. The drive well business is being extensively litigated in various parts of the country. Fortunately it does not effect us in this county to any considerable extent.

John Drake was arrested Tuesday, at the instance of Albert Ibling, who claimed that Drake proposed to carve him with an ax. lie was brought before Esq. Bailey, who recognized him in the sum of S3OO, for his appearance to answer in the Adams circuit court. The Catholic dramatic club is preparing to give a drama in two acts, entitled The Two Elder Brothers,’’ and a comedy, entitled "The Limrick Boy,’’ the 21st, of February. Their entertainments deserve a crowded house. One of the oldest and most prosper ous dry goods houses, of Mansfield, 0., recently made an assignment, on account of the entire withdrawal of pubpatronage, caused by two of the clerks of the firm getting the small pox. Loss of trade made it impossible to meet bills. A brother of Mr. M. L. Grove, the proprietor of the 10-cent store, visited him this week. Mr. Grove A Bro. will establish a branch store at Decatur, next week.—Van Wert Times. The gentlemen have arrived here and located in Houston’s building, formerly occupied by Donovan & Adlespergcr. The Democrat wishes them success. Jaaob Young, of Van Wert, 0 . was prospecting our place with a view of engaging in merchant tailoring. He has made arrangements for a room and will open out about the Ist. of March. He comes recommended as a skillful workman, with a moderate amount of means. The Democrat bespeaks for him a good patronage.

Worth Striving For.

There is a growing disposition upon , the part of western towns and cities t to foster and encourage the establish- > ment of manufactories, which Decatur ’ would do well to emulate. Several , sleepy towns have recently awakened j to the importance of such undertak- ] ings and been successful in securing 1 them. With three railroads passing through this place, giving us ample distributive facilities and competition

in freights, and being the center of one of the most valuable belts of hard wood timber, there is no reason why , it should not be manufactured here to ; a considerable extent, instead of shipping in bulk to be worked up elsewhere. Is it not time to cease crying this i is A's enterprise; this is B s? Let us go to work and scotch it for fear he will make something and thus add to the general prosperity of the community, Some people object to every enterprise, unless it puts money into their pocket or some of their wife's relations. They never give in proportion to their means to any charitable or benevolent enterprise. They accumulate and die with none to mourn their loss, while their children quarrel over the division and then squander it. Such people ought to take a back seat in church or state, so that those who are ready tq work in bphqlf pf a community can do something. There is no reason why Decatur should not have a share in the general growth of the community; its general prosperity, when her natural and acquired advantages are considered ffeere is anolbei maiter in this connection that should be impressed upon our people. And that is, when a stranger comes among us to secure a location, every citizen should consider himse|f on? of a ccpijnittqe to go with him and give , all the information possible, and never . cease his attentions until his location , is secured. As Col Sellers said,‘-there . is millions in it,” in the addition to our population and wealth.

Pension Frauds. Twenty but a us and southern the maimed and crippled returned home. Congress generously provided a liberal pension law. To-day the battle cry of the press seems to be pension frauds. Money squandered, stolen, plundered from the treasury, in a thousand ways, in larger sums than ever went out through pension frauds is passed by unnoticed. It is time to sound a truce, else go hammer and tongs for all the thieves. Os the two, if there is any merit in stealing, the boys in blue, so far as The Democrat is concerned, shall have our sympathy, though we stand alone. If fnud is. to have sympathy, ours shall be with pension frauds rather than with political frauds. In other words the denouncing of pension frauds has gone so far that it prejudices worthy claimants. The Democrat is cognizant of individual cases, where pensions were granted that were, under the law, a fraud upon the government. There are others, worthy claims, that are yet pending, and that they have not been allowed, is probably due to the cry of pension frauds. The Blow. One week ago Thursday night the country generally was treated to a tremendous gale of wind, which in the round lid a vast amount of damage. In town it blew down the smoke stack of L. D. Adams' stave factory, hurled down a section of John Bowers’ building and came near unroofing the WoolenFaetory. J. B.Sholty on goinghome noticed that a portion of the roof was detached, making a fearful flapping in the wind. He notified Messrs. Myers Brothers, the proprietors, who on mounting to the roof found the lightning rod had prevented a complete unroofing of the building. One of the boys stepped on that portion of the roof loosened by the gale, when another gust reminded him that* there was danger of getting rolled up in the roof and being precipitated into the river. He changed his base and they soon succeeded in making all safe.

The Question of Jurisdiction, The question of whether the court that tried Guiteau had jurisdiction in the case was discussed in the newspapers prior to the trial. Aud old statute and an old decision was quoted to the effect that when a person inflicts a mortal wound upon another in the District of Columbia, and that person died outside of that jurisdiction, the person so offending could not be tried for murder in the first degree within the District. This is the point raised by the defence in Guiteau’s case, and unless that old decision is reversed before the full bench, he may escape punishment. It is to be hoped that a blunder has not been committed which will permit the assassin to escape, through a legal technicality*that should have been foreseen. Grave Yard Insurance. Some of the Mutual Life Insurance Companies are regular swindling shops. A specimen of grave yard insurance business that a recent investigation has developed is this. When in need of funds, which frequently occurs, they certify to the death of some person not insured, issue a policy dated back to the right time, make the proper entry on their books, make an assessment and shove the money down into their own pockets. Legitimate life insurance is getting a great many black eyes from the grave yard insurance companies. People who carry insurance now-a-days should be very careful to give grave yard insurance companies a wide offing if they would avoid being swindled.

Democratic Congressional Committee Meeting. The Chairman of the several Democratic County Central Committees of the Eleventh Congressional District are requested to meet at the city of Marion, Grant county, on Wednesday, February 22nd, 1882. at 2 o’clock, p. in., for the purpose of determining the time and place of holding the Congressional convention and to transact other important business. All Democratic editors of the District and members of Democratic County Central Committees and all Democrats from every part of the District are cordially invited to attend this meeting.

W. J. Hili.igass, Chairman Dem. Con. Com. J. 0. Henderson. See. Anther Case of Hayes. In 1868, Joseph Cox, Democratic candidate for Recorder of Vanderburg Co., was elected by a small majority. The retunisjwerc manipulated so as to make the Republican candidate appear elected. He took his seat and received all the emoluments of the office. A local historian made the discovery. It is another case of Hayes. Unclaimed Letters. List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Decatur post office, Adams twin ty, Indiana, for the week ending Jan. 30, 1882. .

The horse market continues brisk at this place. There is strong competition among buyers, which means good prices to stock raisers. It is almost impossible to quote prices. Six car loads were shipped during the month of January, 1882.

The republican Congress is yet wrestling with a funding bill, nearly identical with the one that the Democrats passed and which was vetoed by Hayes. It will probably pass, but not in time to save the $15,000,000 of interest that has been lost by the delay. < ■ Personals. Frank Crawford is again at his post. O. 11.

Judge Robert Lowry, of Fort Wayne, was at Decatur this week, disposing of some cases in which there was a phapge of venue from Judge Bobo. Perry Crabbs, former resident of I this place, now of Toledo, recently fell ! through an elevator, breaking a leg, a rib and dislocated his shoulder. Lia injuries aye serioua, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Beall, left for their future home at Wheeling, \ a., last Thursday. Mr. Beall has completed his studies at Pittsburg, and rece;v ed an appointment to proquh m a PresI byterian pf.urqh atj Wheeling. The I Dt-SiupAA l Wishes them sneews in 1 their ncx home.

The candidate business for both [ county and township offices is booming. To the average man, however, this is no more news than to say it is freezing or thawing. The democratic and republican papers of this judicial district have spoken unanimously in favor of Judge Bobo for another term. Not that the republican papers endorse him over a Republican, but they say if we are to have a democratic judge, let that man be Judge Bobo. The Democrat is content. The Indianapolis &utfndsays that ' Indianapolis is the worst governed, the I foulest aud dirtiest city in America, and has a City Council and Board of Aldermen that are an insult to intelligence, a burlesque on legislation and

a. disgrace to the city. Comparatively without lights, footpads, burglars, sneakthieves, cutthroats and vile ctea- ■ lures live by crime. Its affairs arc so desperate that a Republican journai of the city advocates an appeal to Judge Lynch, which is endorsed by a clergyman of the city. It is the result oi a few years of exclusive Republican rule where party services a-la D< rsey, instead of moral worth, was the consid. oration in the choice of candidates, in a city where a Repbliean nomination was equivelaut to an election.
