Decatur Democrat, Volume 26, Number 46, Decatur, Adams County, 16 February 1883 — Page 2

THE DECATUR LEhWCRAT BY A. J. HILIFriday, February. 16, 1883. Thebe seems to be a considerable disposition to coach the Legislature, especially from cur friends of the other political household. If they make as many mistakes as the Legislature that preceeded them they have a big job on hand. Balthar Ott, of Brooklyn, asks for a divorce. He complains that his wife knocked him down, threw him through a glass door and heaped upon him various other masculine indignities. “Sauce for the goose," etc., naturally suggests itself just here. Plon-Plon, the French Prince Napoleon has been released as being too insignificant a personage to be held as prisoner of state. This action will doubtless discourage the Count de Chambord to fire a manifesto at the French Republic as he had threatened to. Wiggins, who predicted the great storm on the 11th of March, has come to grief. He was foolish enough to predict a moderate cyclone for Saturdaylast, which did not materialize. The signal service despite the prediction promised fair weather and fulfilled their promise. Luxurv is one of the vices of our times, and prompts many people to con tract expenses beyond the reach of their circumstances. One reason is a respect for prodigality and a contempt is shown for those who do not maina similar profusion. This makes the eustom of lavish expenditures almost universal, making things useless and frivolous, necessary and indispensable. And for all of which there comes a day of reckoning. The wide range of discussion that the tariff question is taking is likely, sooner or later, to do some good. The Democrats arc taking a prudent and conservative course, so far removed from free trade as charged by the pretentionists, and in accord with Democratic resolutions, that there is every probability that the revision will be gradual, so as not to severely effect business interests, and at the same time relieve our people of heavy and unnecessary burdens.

The Bonaination of Milton Garrigus, of Kokomo, as Collector of Internal Revenue for the Eleventh congressional district, has raised a mighty commoticn in this district, Irani what is said of him he is one of the off men. His character and reputation at home, is in accord with the charges against Republican officials generally. Milton is a bad one if all—yea half—that is said of him be true, and his confirmation a doubtful quantity. His only qualification is that he is a Stalwart. The third of April will be the centenary of the birth of M ashington Irving, and will be celebrated by some memorial service in various places in this country. Quite a number of journals recommend that our public schools set the day apart to do him honor, and fitly observe the day. Anything that will cause our young people to famil iarize themselves with his writings, will be beneficial. His own life was without spot or blemish, and his writings are the reflection of his inner life, and have a charm about them peculiarly their own, which is not found in current literature. Council Proceedings. The regular meeting of the Council took place Tuesday night. They passed a resolution asking the Board of Commissioners to build a jail. The Mayor and City Attorney were appointed a Committee to wait upon the Commissioners and inform them of the action of the Council. They also passed an ordinance issuin 116,000 City Bonds, payable iu 1903, at the option of the City after fifteen years, bearing six per cent interest, payable semi-annually at the Adams Co. Bank. These bonds were issued for the purpose of building a public school building. An ordinance was introduced regulating sewer assessments: Also a sidewalk ordinance, authorizing repairs. There was some discussion in the Council in regard to employing a n'ght police, but no action taken, the general expression seeming to be adverse to the proposition. Notice to Depositors, At the last meeting of the Board of Directors of Adams County Bank it was decided that from and after March Ist., next, said Bank would open for business at 9 a. m., and close at 4 o'clock, p. m., promply. AU persons having business with the Bank will please govern themselves accordingly. W. H. Niblick. Feb. 15,1883. Cashier.

Joint Tov.nship Institute. The second and last Joint Institute of this school year will be held at the Decatur School building to-morrow, opening to night with a lecture by Rev. Reynolds, subject: “A plea for the high school system. ’ The following is the programme in full for to-mor-row: 1. Discussion —Subject; M hen and where to hold the next County Institute. 2. How to prevent the attendance from decreasing toward the close of the term. —W. H. Myers. 3. Lesson in Philosophy—Heat —conducted by G. W . Mussen. 4. Discussion —Subject; The problem of spelling reform.-Leader, W. IL Lankenaw. 5. Speech upon the organization of a Teachers Association.—J. 11. Walters. NOON. 6. A Lecture on some subject determined by the institute.-Prof. 11. B. Brown. 7. An exercise in the study of Bryant's “Flood of Years. 8. Are our county institutes what they shold be? What changes n ight be made for the better?- L. W. A. Luckey, F. L. Harris, R. K. Erwin, Mary Nordyke, Lucy Young and others. 9. Lecture —Subject; The schools of the past, present and future.— P L. Andrews. Bring a copy of Bryant's “Flood of Years," and your work on Philosophy Each tea cher is expected to take part in the discussion, in which no speech will exceed five minutes and no one speak twice upon the same subject. Quite a numb, r of the teachers have been looking forward for some time to this institute as s he crowning event of the season, and they will hardly be mistaken. A similar institute held at Geneva, December 2nd, was in every particular a success, but the Superintendent expects the institute to-morrow to go beyond the one at Geneva. The attendance of Prof. 11. B. Brown, of Valparaiso, will be a very pleasant feature, over 40 teachers having been students at his Normal. The Superintendent has kept his coining very quiet in order to give his teachers a happy surprise. As man-, of the people of Decatur as can should attend this institute. It will be an enjoyable occasion.

The Great Flood. The flood of last week evidently brought the St. Marys to the highest point it has ever reached within the memory or tradition of the oldest settler, by a measurement sufficient to remove all doubts. For a considerable time it was a question of hot dispute, by those who recognized the flood of ’47 as the highest and biggest that ever could, would or should occur in the valley of the St. Marys. By this flood all other floods were measured, and were either small or great by comparison. Os the flood of '47 there were no reliable marks in or immediately around this place. The disputes were hot and sharp between those who contended for the flood of 47 and those who insisted that the flood of '6B was the biggest one, but primary evidence was not forthcoming until later, when all doubters Anally gave up that the ■flood of ’B3 was the biggest after all.

Mr. John Fonner claims to have reliable marks upon his farm. He says that the water was higher in'B3 than ever before known by twelve and one half inches; and that the flood of ’6B was higher by two inches than that of 47. Dan Meyers who bought the.old Joel Roe farm gives a little different measurment from Mr. Fonner. Mr. Roe for years, kept a record upon a laige blue ash tree of the height of the water at different floods. According to this record the river was ten and one-half inches higher than in 47, and eighteen and a halt higher than the flood of '6B. Outing For February. The most notable feature in the February issue of OUTING is a series of twenty letters from eminent public men urging upon the Legislature of New York prompt action to rescue I Niagara Falls from the vandalism that threatens it. John Greenleaf Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes, President Noah Porter of Yale College, President Andrew D. White of Cornell University, Chancellor Howard Crosby, of New York. ex-President Mark Hopkins of Williams College, George William Curtis, U. S. Senators Warner MrMcr and E. G. Lapham, ex L.S. Senator Roscoe Conkling, P. T. Barnum and Bishop Doane of Albany are among contributors on this important and timely subject. A valentine poem by Dora Reade Goodale, illustrated by Frank Beard, the beginning of a story by Eliot McCormick, an illustrated article < n icc-yatching and a thrilling deer-shooting sketch are among the other attractions. The number will be sent to any address on receipt of 10 cents, by the publishers at Al bany, N. Y. Octing will be enlarged and improved in May, and the price increased to $2 a year. Up to that time $1 will pay for a full year s subscription. ItI'NEW YOCK LEASE. There are times in every one's life when energy fails and a miserable feeling comes over them, mistsken for laziness. Danger lurks in these symptoms, as they arise from diseased organs.

Mil IDE OF Lt‘UIS WEtVEU. ’ A Ante Mortem Statement to the Etliioi. Louis Weaver called at the office of The Democrat Tuesday. He is a resident of Root township, the owner of one hundred and sixty acres of land, and has a wife and nine children, three of tin tn boys. The old man is fifty-eight yi..rs old and claims to have been turned out of house and home by his irate wifi and some of the children. It was a sorrowful tale he told. He has friends near Springfield, Ohio, where he is going and hopes they will treat him with greater kindness than his own family. The old man who made the above statement finished his earthly career Tuesday. Instead of going to Springfield, Ohio, as he expressed his intention of doing, he bought ten cents worth of arsenic, claiming he wished to use it to poison rats. This he took with fatal results, having been found in his barn by his sou Thursday night' He was taken to the house and expired in the morning. He was undoubtedly, not in his right mind when he made the statement which appears above. Being a stranger, we did not notice anything wrong with him. except that he seemed to feel considerably depressed when speaking of his family. Straub---Haley Racket. Daniel A. Straub and his brotherin law, Daniel Haley,both live in the same house in the southeast part of town. Sund y night Straub sent his wife over to Haleys to collect a dollar which he claimed the party of the second part owed him. For answer Ha ley claimed to have bailed Straub and proposed to hold the dollar business as security. Tie return and report of the envoy ar. used the ire of Straub. He commenced with his chin music and Haley replied. The battle of words was provoking on both sides, at least that was what the Mayor and Justice Bailey said— both got a dollar and trimmings for their circus. Straub failed to pay his and was sent to jail. Wednesday his brothers put up for him and he was released. If there was such a law that officers could sentence each, to kick the other until neither could wag Lis abusive tongue it would be approved by all men, and put an effectual stop to the provoke business.

Washington Irvin*’* “Crayon Paper*.’’ j This very Prince in the realm of letters is , at last able to cater the homes of ordinary mortals.

Mor? people have read the Sun during the year just now passing than ever before feipce it was first printed. No other newspaper published on this side oi the earth has been bought and read in any year by ' so many men and women.

We are credibly informed that people buy, read and line the Sun for the following reasons, among others: Because its news columns present in i attractive form and with the greatest possible accuracy whatever has interest for humankind; the events, the deeds and misdeeds, tjie wisdom, the philptophy, tfie notable lolly, the solid ser.se. the improving nonsense—all the news ot the bueie.t world at present revolving in space. Because people have learned that in its I remarks concerning persons and affairs the Sun makes a practice of telling them the ejact truth, to the best of its ability, ibree hundred and sixty-five days in the i year, before election aa well as after, about the whales as well as about the small fish, in the face of dissent as plainly and fearlessly when supported by general approval. The Sun has no pur- . pose :o serve, save the information of i*s readers and the furtherance of the com men good Because it is everybody s paper. N-> , can is so humble that the Sun is indifferent to bis welfare and his rights. No man, ■ no a;SftCia;ion of men, is powerful enough I to be exegtpl from the strict application of , iis principles of right and wrong. Because in politics it has fought for a dozen yeats, without intermission an I somethnes almost alone among new-pa-p- rs, the fight that has resulted in the re rnt overwhelming popular verdict against dobesonism and for honest gov- : eminent. No matter what party is in I power, the Nun stands and will continue 19 stand l.ke a rock for the interests cf the people agajgst the ambjtiqn of the , biases, ilia euoroac'nmehis ci monopolies. ’ and the dishonest schemes of public robI bers. All this are what we are told almost ( daily by our friends One man holds that the Sun is the best religious paper ev. r published, became i s Christianity is i undiluted with cant. Another hilds that : it is the best Republic in newsp iper printed, because it has already whipped half 1 of ifte rascals out of that party, and is ' proaeeiiing against the oilier half with ' undimiuished vigor. A third believes it to oe the best magazine of general interest 1 in existence, because its readers miss nothing worthy of notice that is current in the world of thought. So every friend of toe Sun discovers one of its many sides that appeals with pirticular force to his individual liking. If you airea 1-»u IW ihe S’,.-., yqj observe that iu 1868 it is a little better than ever before. If you do not already know the Sun, you will find it to be a mirror of human activity, a storehouse of the choicest products of common sens, and im-gination,a mainstay for the cause of hruest govirnment. a sentinel for genuine Jefe smian Democracy, a scourge for wii.edness of every species, and an un- ’ pot gioply |cgd investment for the coming ci.;", Terms to Mail Subscribers.
