THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. J. 1111.1.. Friday, May 25, 1883. ■ll 1 ~ -' a ~ Dobbey seems to be on the high road to the regions of obscurity and the Republican party are on his trail. The three cent postage stamp must go. Next October is the time fixed for the two cent, stamp to take its place. The Saturday Herald says that Grant and Conkling are perverted greatness and the Republican party know how to sit down upon that kind of an article. The machine is what it would have been called before the days of aestheticism. That appropriation bill that a democratic legislature passed and which republican Liet.-Governor Hanna stored away in his breeches pocket is not yielding that excellent quality of fruit he and his republican friends expected of it. Programme of Services, Memorial Day. At precisely one o’clock all soldiers and their friends who desire to participate in the ceremony, will assemble in front of the court house where a band will furnish music. The order of inarching will be formed as follows : First, band; second, members of the G. A. R.; third, ex-soldiers; fourth, twelve small girls, daughters of exsoldiers; fifth, citizens. As soon as the column is properly formed they will proceed at once, accompanied by appropriate music, to the county cemetery, where, after appropriate ceremonies, the little girls selected, under charge of guards, will proceed to strew flowers upon the graves of deceased soldiers. Other parties desiring to perform the same will have an opportunity to do so. When all graves have been properly decorated, tue same ser vices will be performed at the Catholic cemetery, after which all are requested to return to the court house, where an appropriate address will be delivered by Colonel R. S. Robertson W. S. Cokgleton, L. A. CONTER, J. P. Quinn, Committee. The Wells County Homicide. William Walker, trustee of Chester township and postmaster of Keystone, Wells county, shot and almost instantly killed William Shaw, while engaged in a fistic bout with Isaac Wilson, one week ago last Sunday. The Banner had a long and exhaustive article in regard to the affair, but we looked in vain for the key, the motive, if such there was, to produce such results. The Chronicle also failed to solve the enigma. The Times told the story; also the Hartford City Telegram, from which we copy: “It appears that at some time in the past Isaac Wilson filed a suit in the Wells circuit court against Mrs. T. P. Risley, of Keystone, asking for $6,000 damages on account of slanderous and damaging reports said to be put in cir culation by sa ; d Mrs. T. P. Risley. It further transp'res that William Walker’s name wou’d be pron ncntly connected with the slander and that Geo. Shaw would give evidence in court tending to show the truth of the reports concerning Isaac Wilson’s wife and William Walk: r. The pending slander suit has been the principal theme of conversation in Keystone for some time and as a natural consequence bitter feelings were engendered between the friends of both parties.

On last Sunday Harvey W i Iso n concluded that he would cha-ttze George Shaw on suspicion that he would testify against the character of h : s brother Isaac’s wife, and proceeded to put his conclusions into effect immediately. Coming up to where Shaw was sitting in front of Bisley’s drug store, he commenced calling Shaw the most vulgar names he could think of. Shaw remonstrated with him. This quarreling had the effect to draw several persons about the principals and among those who came was William Walker. Wilson continuing his abuse, Shaw struck him, knocking him down and was proceeding to chastize him when Wilson's sister interfered and succeeded in pars-g the men. As soon as W ilson got up he and his sister again commenced abusing Shaw and Wilson again came at him for fight and was knocked down the second time. As Wilson fell Shaw stooped down over him and drew back his fist to strike hime, whereupon Miss Wilson called upon VV all er not to allow Shaw to hurt her brother. Walker then stepped around to Shaw s head, placing the revolver (a thirty-eight Smith <t Wesson) within a foot of his head and fired the fatal shot.

Horse Stolen. Late Saturday night or very early Sunday morning a valuable horse was stolen from Conrad Gillig, of Washington township, living about one mile southeast of this place. The horse was taken to Wilshire, arriving there just before daylight, and concealed in a stable on the outskirts of the town. Mr. Gillig followed the thief to Wilshire but finally gave up and placed the matter in sheriff McGriff s hands, who succeeded in finding the horse and returned him to the owner. There is no clue to the thief. Remewber the new lumber jaid is the place to buy your flooring, siding, moulding, shingles and lath at beuem prices, two squares west of court house. J. North & i>so.

I. J. MV.-.se Sunday cd at Portland. ! J. C. Galfar ath spent Sunday at Bourbon. Ind. Jim Dailey, deputy Sheriff of Bluffton, was in the city yesterday. The cold wave, with its accompaniment of snow and rain, has naturally interfered with planting. Mr. Sam. M. Karns, agent for Nimmons & Covert’ Modoc Stomach Bitters, Bluffton, was in the city Monday Covert’s Modoc Stomach Bitters ’s a positive cure for dyspepsia and kidney disease. For sale by Dorwin & Holthouse. Be3w6m The city council ordered the Marshal to arrest all persons found defacing fences or buildings by wbitling the same with their jack-knives.

Be3w6m Died, in Berne, Indiana, May 15, 1883, Oliver Elver Gottscholk, aged 4 years, 7 months and 24 days. The funeral took place at the Menonite church in Berne, on Thursday, May 17th, conducted bv the Rev. J. M. Dustman, assisted by Rev.S. Sprunger, of the Menonite church. Last Wednesday, May 16th. was the fifty-eighth anniversary of the natal day of Mrs. N. Nirdlinger. She ways enticed to visit her son John on the morning of that day, and on her return found relatives and friends to the number of fifty-eight awaiting her, and a bountiful repast spreai before the assembled guests. The old lady was the recipient of many valuable presents. Dr. G. C. Lewis, nephew of Mr. and Mrs. M. EcGonagle and uncle of Miss Anna Lewis, accompanied by his wife, paid them a visit of two or three days the f orc part of this week. The doctor has lately established himself in Millersburgh, Ohio, and, having gone out to Fairbury, Illinois, and taken a fair partner for life on \\ ednesday of last week, was on his return with her to his Buckeye home. Louis Oswald, proprietor of the old Headington House, Poitland, committed suicide Tuesday night, by placing a large knife against his breast and throwing himself against the wall of his room- The blade was about two inches broad and penetrated his left lung some four or five inches. He died in a short time. He had been somewhat dissipated and was mentally depressed resulting from a protracted spree. Sheriff McGriff was present and assisted in carrying him to his room. The Kimball organs sold by Mr. C. T. Dorwin, of this city, give universal satisfaction and are sold cheaper than any other standard make. Frank M. Schirmeyer is introducing the Kimball organs for C. T. Dorwin. Organs cheaper than ever sold in Adams county, at C. T. Dorwin s. Sheriff McGriff and Marshal Malony went to Ft. Wayne Monday night, called by special telegram from Sheriff Scheifer, who thought he had one of the Gloss, Elzey & Co. burglars spotted. It proved to be a false scent and nothing came of the enterprise. Elder M. L. Blaney will preach on Saturday evening, Sunday morning and evening, next, in the Christian church. His subject for Sunday evening will be “The Sowing of the Tares. ’ All are cordially invited to attend these services. AMVA YS R E 1R ESH I NG.

A WORD TO MOTHERS. Mothers should remember it is a most important duty at this season to look after the health of their families and cleanse the malaria and impurities from their systems, and that nothing will tone up the stomach and liver, regulate the bowels and pui fy the blood so perfectly as Parker’s Ginger Tonic, advertised in our columns. — Post See other column.

FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1883.

GENEVA ITEVIM. Business dull. A most remarkable and unaccounta- | ble boiler explosion occurred at Joseph , Snyder’s mill near here last Friday. Suddenly and without any apparent cause the boiler exploded, carrying with it the brick masonry, engine, and . all the machinery attached, leaving I only a small portion of the foundation I to mark the places they had occupied, i Part ol he machinery was found half la mile . uy. The remaikahle part of ■ the cirv i ustance is the fact that although - ven men were working in and ab<oit the mill, none was hurt, k team lot horses was standing within ten feet ot the lioiler escaped uninjured. Mr. ‘ Snyder, who was acting as engineer j and off bearer, bad just stepped about ■ twenty feet away. Had they been in their usual places, they would undoubtedly have been instantly killed. I One end of the boiler struck a large tree about sixty feet from the ground and rebounded, pt ssing over a horse that was hitched tear by without harming the animal. Mr. Snydar tntytt he tried the water gauges a few m times before the expio.-itti and had three guages of water. The head saw- } ■ r and his assistants were just tn the act of putting a log in position ou tbe ; saw carriage. A boy wheeling sawI dust received a slight scalp wound by i being struck with a piece of brick.
