Anthony Kohue is suffering from a tumor in his face. It is reported that there are plenty of wild turkeys in the woods. That “blasted” stovepipe will soon get its just dues in very emphatic words. It is about time the Paulding hunt- , ars were taking up their line of march I for the woods of Paulding Three unsuccessful attempt to burglarize the residence of Edward M’;Leod, Plesant Mills Thursday night. Spanish needles and burrs are now in fine trim to catch in the clothing of pedestrians along the sidewalks in Decatur. From the amount of red jackets worn by the lassess one would suppose a female fire company had been organized at this place. Alex. Steele, eldest son of Henry Steele, of Pleasant Mills, had an elliptic fit in front of N. Wise’s grocery, Saturday morning. Jacob Stults went into the the cotton business slightly. A sample of his crop can be seen at the livery of Railing and Rice. The excursion to Rome City last week, was entertained by the colored band of Richmond, by some campmeeting melodies. There were no service at the Catholic Church last Sunday, owing to the absence of Rev. Wilkins, who was attending the retreat at South Bend. It is hard to tell whether the persons head was round, who was talking about “a square piece of calico or not. May be the calico was round and the bead square. The criminal ordinances of the city appear in another column. Real and be wise. Base ball boys should read up. They might go out on something besides three strikes. Annie Fisher lost her pocket book while waiting for the excursion train, last Thursday, containing f 1.75, her spending money for the day. It disappeared very mysteriously. Last week Mayor Merryman had nine straight drunks before him at one time. It was pay day among the sons Erin and they were rejoicing that the grade of the C. & A. railroad was completed. Our attention has been called to the condition of the alley on the west side of Second street, between Monroe and Madison, by one of our citizens, who claims it should receive the attention of the Board of Health. The Decaturs will play the Blufftons at this place to day. Come ont and see the game. This will in al) probability be the final game of the season. The Bluffton boys are coming over to win, and our boys say it can t be did. A good game may be expected. Admission 15 cents; ladies free. Edward C. Pelz and Martin J. Hosier had a dispute which ended in a little mill. Hosier paid for an assault and battery and Pelz for a provoke. I ela when asked whether “guilty or not guilty’ did not know how to plead, but finally volunteered the information that the other fellow said two bad words and he one. Pelz paid for the one.

Wm. Bowinn and John Orff, jr., of Fort Wayne, bought Henry Winnes' interestin the sawmill andtiui her owned by Woods and \\ innes in and around : Monroe Both these gentlemen will bring their families to Decatur to live. The St. Marys and Wabash are both bridged with substantial Howe and Smith truss suspension bridges standing on stone abutments, also some of the smaller streams. The expense of the county on account of bridges will for a long time be only nominal. Second and Winchester streets will be graveled this fall, from the bouldered portiou of Second street to the Chicago and Atlantic railroad depot. The company will donate the gravel for the purpose and deliver it at their depot in this place for that purpose. Personals. Will Schirmeycr is in Chicago. Harvey Hart was at Fort Wayne on Saturday.

It is understood Jake got a square meal while here. Joseph Foster claims to have a good bed of gravel, of good quality, on his farm. He has not prospected it sufficiently to give particulars. Miss Ella Schirmeyer spent Sunday with her parents in Decatur. She returned to Van Wert, Monday, where she is teaching a class in music. Mr. and Mrs. Corey, and Paucoach, of Medina, Ohio, Mrs. Mary Nesbit, of Peru, and Mrs. Chas Wert, of Geneva, brother-in-law, two sister, and two daughters of Mrs. Abe Bollman, have been having a pleasant visit and re-union with Mrs. Bollman the past week. F. W. Filling, a son of 11. D. Filling of Root township, was married a short time since. He had everything ready to move into his new home just over the Allen county line, and some of the boys thought he had moved into his new home, but such was not the case. Some of the enterprising young men over there gave the hired man and boy a tin-pan serenade three nights in succession, when they got tired of the everlasting racket and kindly informed them they were a little too previous. They have not been troubled since. Another Bad Case. Joseph Hower Charged With Rape The record of tho year is replete with crime without a parallel in our history. For some time past matters had quieted down and all thought things had assumed their normal condition, a condition where law and order is the rule and lawlessness the exception. The calm was of short du ration. Friday morning last Miss Syb. by D. Barnhart, who was living with her brother-in-law, Joseph Hower, went before Esq. Bailey and upon her oath charged him with committing an indecent assault upon her person, Hower was arrested and a preliminary examination had. The prosecuting witness stated, Mrs. Hower, defendant's wife and children had been absent several days in consequence of repairs to the house, plastering, etc. That she had remained to cock during the day and t ake care of the house; that a neighbor girl remained with her at night. That about 7 o’clock Thursday evening last. Hower seized her while they were alone and violated berperson.Sheimmediately left the house Hower having in the meantime threatened to kill her f she exposed him. She immediatediately left the house, stopped a moment at S. O. Burkhead s, but said Her manner attracted the attention of the family. She left for her father’s house, four miles south. Mien a little over half way she thought she heard some one coming after her, and fearing it was her brother-in-law to fullfiJl his threats, left tbe highway and proceeded the remainder of the way home across tbe fields. On reaching home she immediately stated her wrongs to her father, mother and sister, the wife of th< defendant Hower. Os course the family took the matter under advisen>nt until motr.ing, when the result of their delil eration was manifested , by the prosecution of Hower. He

f wis held to bail in the sum of 1500, which on representation of counsel for the State was subsequently raised to I $2,000. His father though amply able 1 to bail his son refused, when he was . , sent to the Allen county jail to await , his trial. | It is now so late in the term, it is thought the case will not be tried at • this term. The Prosecut.ng Attorney ■ has, however, indicated he would attempt to bring the matter to trial. Miss Barnhart has heretofore had an untarnished reputation, and those who know her best receive her statements unquestioned. The case will have a fair and impartial investigation at the proper time, and whatever the measure of wrong the court and jury will determine it. There seems to be no disposition to dispose of cases of this kind except upon meeting out grim justice to all offenders. Without prejudicing this case, it is proper to remark there will be no exception in the present case. Crime docs not go unpunished in Adams county.. III.AINE’S.PROJECT. Benia The It eb *1 Wa • D ebt Scheme. The Republicans used to charge that if the democratic party obtained the power they would pay the rebel claims in full. No Democrat ever entertained the idea; it was a bright Republican campaign lie to frighten timid voters. When it served its purpose it went the way of campaign lies. But Senator Blaine in a recent interview in Chicago gave utterance to something that may become more than an idea if the Republicans are retained in power, and it is not receiving that consideration its importance demands. He proposes to make an appropriation from the overflowing national treasury and take up the repudiated bonds of some of the southern states, beginning with V irginia. It has a two-fold purpose. First as a speculation it is collossal. The bonds are held by a few individuals and are now worth a song. As Col. Sellers would say “there is millions in it.” Second and most important of a’l. The signs of the times point to the speedy disentegration of the Republican party in New York and Pennsylvania. For these losses the must have corresponding gains or loose control of the general government in 1884. This might enable them to Mahone enough Southern States to meet the losses indicated. The bondholders could afford to donate an immense sum to the corruption fund of the party in consideration of paying the bonds in full. There is a stupendous combination possible.— The Republican leaders are desperate and unscrupulous. They are ready and willing to adopt any measures that give promise of success. The fact that they stole a President six years ago is fair warning to the people that they are willing to purchase victory with money in 1884. There is serious method in their madness. The best way to defeat this scheme is to make the next Congress Democratic. There is no difficulty in the people retiring George W. Steele— He is one of those men ready to lend his hand to any effort that promises to keep his party in power, and without any scruples as to the means employed. Our people cannot afford to take any chances at this time. The Republican party is a dangerous factor, and the danger increases with the desperation of their cause. The only safe thing to do in the premises is to vote for Hon. Josephs. Dailey. BEBNK ITEMS. Warm days and cold nights. Farmers are busy cutting corn. One more speech from M. M. Gleason at this place and the county will go Democratic to a man Wc had quite a breeze on our streets one night last week.
