Next Wednesday is Decoration day. When will Rufe Allison Sunday at Berne ? The persusasive book agent has gone hence. The Decatur’s and Monmouth playbase ball Saturday Overcoats were in demand the first of this week. The C. & A. pay car passed through this place last Friday night. There was a deaf and dumb man in the city Saturday night. Decoration day will be more generally observed this year than ever before. The Democrat is adding new material from time to time to its jobbing facilities. The Democrat has turned out some splendid specimens of job work duiing the last two weeks, Cupid has the spring fever. In other words marriage licenses are few and far between of late. The Gazette's gripsack editor's news, notes and notions, of Monday, among many good things abounded with errors. Read Spencer & Son’s advertisement This is the oldest hardware establishment in the city, and the peer of all of them as to stock and prices. Fort Wayne claims to have the inside track in regard to the location of one of the proposed new Insane Asylums about to be erected by the state. Through trains will be put on the C. & A. road June Ist, and also a mail service. We will then have a direct mail between Chicago and New York. Mangold & Fuhrman have dissolved their business relations as dealers in butter, eggs, etc., Mr. Fuhrman retiring. The business will be continued by Noah Mangold, senior partner. Adolph Hart lost or had picked from his pocket, while on the base ball ground last Saturday, a ten dollar greenback, which he wcub. like pay a reward for and receive it back again. Seme one with great disregard for rights and ownership of others stole a plant from the front show window of John Eiting & Co’s store. Casper would make it hot for the thief could he locate him. Jay Rugg bought of the patentee the right of Adams county to make and sell the ‘’Hubbard Bee Hive. Persons who keep bees should examine the hive, as it is one of the best, it it is not the best in use. The paper with all the news, was badly off last week in regard to the Simpson trial, the opcrahouse, and the stock base ball organization. And the report of the Shower’s House escapade was in the chaste and elegant diction of refined journalism. The first name inscribed on the register of the County Infirmary is that of J. T. Johnson, physician. The date January 16th, 1875. There is un doubtedly. an interesting biography connected with the name, could the reporter get the facts behind the scene. The Decaturs have concluded not to challenge the Indianapolis nine, until they develop from their present environment into something stronger. They would not gain any credit by beating them, and if defeated would be entirely without any reputation as players. The boys are right. The Monmouth and Pleasant Mills base ball teams met on the diamond field Saturday, and played seven innings. The score stood 13 to 14 in fa-' vor of Monmouth, the last half of the seventh inning not being played. It was the best game of ball that has been played on the grounds this season. Before the season is over we look for some good work out of our local organizations. Shafer Peterson has developed quite a passion for hunting. He has a doubled larreled breech-loader and other appliances for indulging his new passion. One thing about Shafe, he never does things by half and will soon be recognized as authority upon all sporting matters of this kind. By the way, he has a very interesting story about the Way he killed his first wild goose. Our readers are advised to get him to relate ’ it. Dan Death can beat Shafe telling the story, however. Henry Derkes will not build an opera house, our esteemed cotemporary over the way to the contrary notwithstanding. The rumor grew out of the fact that Mr. Derkes went to Mr. Spangler, who has the contract for building business rooms upon the proposed site of the opera house and asked him if he would rescind the contract so as to enable him to change his plans, with a view of building an opera house. This Mr. Spangler refused to do, which ended the matter of the building of an opera house.

Pleasant Mills and Geneva Items ; are with supplement. A son of John Fonner fell upon his father's knife and received a bad gash in his side one day this week. Ezra Cowan has received the appointment of mail agent. His run will be from Huntington to Chicago. Marion Elzey will open out a slock of jewelry in the building now occu- ! pied by Dr. Hastings, under the big elm. It is rumored that Herman Tettman of Tony Holthouse’s shoe store, will leave in a few weeks for Eastern Ohio, where he will be married to an esteemed young lady of the Buckeye state. A laborer on the Atlantic railroad claimed to have had some thirty dollars taken from him last Saturday. He charged Peter Russell with the offense and had him arrested by the Marshal, but the money was not found, when Russell was discharged from custody. Closs, Elzey & Co. have dissolved. Closs and Son will continue the business. They have recently received a large fire and burglar proof safe for their jewelry, which the manufacturers ensure will take more time, banging and blowing than the old one did before yielding its contents. The Chicago & Atlantic railway will sell round trip tickets from Decatur to Chicago to parties wishing to attend National Exposition of railway appliances to be held at Chicago, May 24th to June 23d, 1883, on dates named below, for $5.10 round trip: June sth and 6th, good to return until June 11; June 12 and 13, good to return until June 18; June -1!) and 20, good to return until June 25. Co 1 . R. 8. Robirston, of Fort Wayne has been invited to deliver the address on Decoration day and has accepted I the invitation. The address will be I worthy of the day and theme. Co). I Roberston is an old soldier, with a viv- | id memory of 1861 5 and with all an > orator. Sam Henry Post No. 65, is lucky in securing him for their speak- I er. And this community will furnish him an audience worthy of the day and occasion. Readers be ye one of the number. Since the burglary of Closs, Elzy & Co, the knights of the road have been comparatively quiet. Several towns not a hundred miles away have sufferereii from their raids within the last , week. A few weeks’ halt in their work should not lull our people into security. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, or is said to be, and eternal watchfulness alone will save portable property from the raids of burglars. It is about time they were getting in their work again. Look out Tor them. Eighteen first class brick business rooms will be built in Decatur this season, seven of which are well under weigh, walls up, etc., and the foundations laid of several more. All will be completed for bu-iness this fall. The west end of the city is dotted all over already with dwelling houses in the course of construction. Our mechanics are straining every nerve to push their work ahead, and almost every day are solicited to bid upon new work that only awaits closing up with the contractor to set the building of the same in motion. This is neither the stone or iron age of Decatur, but emphatically the building age. Monday morning little girls went, to school wearing hoodsand winter wraps, and they were quite as necessary to their comfort as in mid-winter. At 10 o clock a. m. it commenced snowing, which continued through a larger portion of the day and night. It is estimated that at least a foot of snow must have fallen, which mostly melted as it fell. It was a novel sight to see early vegetables, strawberries and grapes with several inches of snow over them, and for a time it looked as if a l would be killed. The temperature remain ed near the freezing point, but the I snow did not freeze after it fell. Ami . twenty-four hours later, when it had I entirely disappeared no harm could be discovered to vegetation from iis burial unuer the snow. Such a snow storm so late in the season, and doing no damage beats the memory of the oldest man. A. F. Simpson, on his return to Bluffton, Thursday night, made a other ineffectual attempt to escape from jail by sawing out again. During the night he attempted to saw off one of the iron bars of his ceil. In the morning the sheriff noticed his work and searched his quarters. A saw some eighteen inches in length and two and one half inches in width, with very fine teeth, and apparently made purposely to be us d for the purpose intended by Simpson. He must either have been helped to it while at Deca- I tur, by some person from the outside, or by Mrs. Simpson, when there on a visit. Sheriff .McGriff thinks it was impossible that it should have oeea furnished him while here. Simpson is evidently relying upon obtaining his liberty by escaping from officers, or breaking jail, rather than a safe deliverance at the hands of a jury. It is again in order to remind officers having him in charge to be vigilant, or some fine morning he will turn up among the missing.

-VIALE PKOSTITIiTES. ‘traces and a itemedy Snuu< *ted. tur for some time past has-been a iiicicu with a lot of unprincipled scamps, who if they do not mend their ways will bring up at Michigan City, or some other of our penal institutions, unless they meet with a violent death at the hand of some outraged husband or father. These fellows have been in the habit ot following married women end young girls, when compelled to be out later than usual and returning home alone, insulting them with their atteni ms and sometimes with direct words < insult. Several times nave these complaints came to our car, and always with a request to say nothing aooutit, in consequence of the unpleasant notoriety always attaching to adventures of this kind. Those guilty of these wrongs, if recognized, are thus j mitted to go scott free, which enc urages them to further aggressions. 1 unrecognized it permits them to t.tnk back into the obscurity of dark i ’ss to repeat these wrongs upen i r. mther occasion. It is to be hoped that tin state of 1 t -ings will cease. That any of our la- . les who are annoyed by the attention c: fellows of this class, will first of all s ek to identify the fellows so that they c.u recognize them afterward. If t ley will do so they will do the community a great favor. There is an nnv ritten law for such telloVrs, such as d 'ckmg them ;n a horse pond, and t iking a public parade of them far t ore appropriate than an appeal to t e civil law in sueh cases made and provided. One or two examples of this k nd would do more to cheek these fellows than years of civil prosecution. Resides they would run the risk of r.ore summary punishment at the I uids of some outraged husband, 1 other or father. The Democrat has never been an advocate of mot law or any departure f did the legal code, but it does seem t • us that the only way to effectually ■ r -a.-li these fellows is by the method | uiited out. On last Friday night there was just such an outrage took place upon our s reels. That it did not have a sanguit try ending is due to the fact that the a .gressor could not be recognized. If t is should meet his eye, he can thank I s lucky stars fur his escape from a ; utishment that but few in this comi unity would regard as unjust, though < .ried to the last extreme 5 unday School Convention. The Adams county Sabbath School l.uion will hold its next annual convent on at oecatur, on Tuesday, June 5, 1 >B3. Exercises begin at 9 o’clock, a i. ; and there will b-a morning, afeert on and evening session. This Sabbath School Union is comj ; ed of all the Sabbath Schools in the < .anty of every denomination One t iiool has as much interest in it as a tother. Our County Union is Auxiliary to t m Indiana Slate SabOath School Uu1 n. The State Union is no new project. For s venteen years it has held annual i uveutions, and has done much good i v arousing entuusiasm and securing organized and systematic work in the ; anuay School cause. Through its esI >rts nearly every county and many townships in the State have been thoroughly organizeu and kept at work. While we rejoice at the progress of toe Sabbaih School cause in our county and the increasing interest taken in me work; yet we have to regret that much, very much remains to be done, liny are without Sabbath School ini uenccs and without a knowledge of the scriptures. It is earnestly hoped that no Sabbath School in the county will fail to be represented at the coming convention, as no effort will be spared to make it nteresting and instructive. Besides attending to needful business here will be instruction given in vaous matters pertaining to Sabbath . hool work, by able and earnest workrs of different parts of the county, and f the different denominations. Blackboard exercises, opening and ■losing exercises, Sabbath School Litrature, Libraries, Lisson Helps, the .test approved methods of teaeh ng infant classes, and kindred subjects nil be discussed with profit by the members of the convention. Everyone .resent having an interest in Sabbaih ehool work will be recognized as a .ember of the convention. Sabbath School Superintendents you re especially and urgently requested . present this matter to your respec vc schools and see that your school well represented at the convention, nd above all, be sure to be present ourself if possible. Remember the ire, June sth, 9 o’clock. S. G. Hastings, Pres. Proclamation. It is requested and earnestly hoped hat the business houses of the city be ■tosed from I till 3 o’c ock p. m., on ■Memorial Day," Wednesday, May 30, in order that all may take part in decorating the graves of those who gave heir lives that the country might live. Dated at Decatur this 24th day of ' lay, 1883. B. H. Dent, Mayor.

CIICCCIT cot KT. Disposition ol Causes -Notes ana Comments. Wabash township was largely represented at this place, Monday. The delegation were witnesses in the celebrated Aumillcr-Teeters’ calf case, lt.was an action for replevin begun before Justice Peters, of Wabash township, by John Teeters. The fight before the Justice was hotly contested and resulted in SBO and costs and Teeters I being adjudged the owner of the calf. ■ Aumiller was not satisfied and appealed to the circuit court, Heller & Hooper and France & Merryman appearing for Aumiller, and Peterson & Huffman and E. G. Coverdale for Teeter. That both sides came prepared it is only necessary to note that the plaintiff subpoenaed twenty-one witnesses and the defendant twenty-six. A jury was impauneled to hear the story of the witnesses and determine the ownership of this remarkable calf. The animal is remarkable in more ways than one. In the language of the transcript it was a red calf with white spots under the beliy, with gr y hairs in the bust of its tail and a crop off of the eact ear. The web of evidence on both sides looked at from one direction was a tangled one, from the other it like a stone wall, straight as a line, without the shadow of variableness or turning. Each side deposed that the aforesaid calf was a familiar object from its birth to the present time. It Lad been a pet among the Aumiller family, been fondled and idolized as such and was playful as a kitten and as gentle as an old cow. The old cow always recognized the calf with every manifestation of maternal delight on- coming together after a brief absence. It was sought to prove that there were hereditary marks upon the call peculiar to the mother, but the testimony was regarded inaduiissable. i here was a wart on the fore leg of the calf and an injured horn in which the testimony was remarkably uiianimom. In fact, to have heard either side oi the testimony without listening to the other, tbe hearer would have regarded the proof conclusive as to the ownership. And that each owned a calf "just like the other." This was the kind of testimony that confronted the jury. It simply resolved itself into the credibility of witnesses. There was evidently some mistake somewhere. It was a tangled thread, but the jury were equal to the occasion. It is said the first difficulty of the jury was to determine which ear was marked. Some of them insisted that the calf should be faced to the north and standing behind the calf the right hand would be east. This interpretation, it was claimed, would determine the “eact ear.” Othe.s thought differently, and insisted on reversing the position of the animal. The result was a hot dispute which would have everlastingly split the jury, but they finally concluded that the question of the ear was immaterial. It broke down in consequence of a jury 41 man telling the story of the old woman's goose, whose wing next to the fence was broken. The jury found for the plaintiff Aumiller and found the calfto be worth >ls. The case stands on a motion for a new trial. The Morningstars did not sing' together; rather they fought together. Blue Creek township turned out a numerous delegation of witnesses to testify of and concerning these unpoetical Morningstars that fought together. From all that could be gathered from the witnesses and outcropping stori s, the female member of the firm had about the right amount of Tartar in her composition to be a congenial m mber, and was ever ready to maintain her marital rights, whether engaged in the soft dalliance of love's young dream or in a lusty bout for possession of the matrimonial breeches. In fact there was a large amount of the ‘grey horse” in Sam’s.spouse, but she failed to appreciate the rugged side of his nature and hence sought a legal dissolution from the matrimonial knot Sam’s protests were unavailing. Iler plaints were deemed valid by the court. A divorce was granted with sugar to the amount ot >425 alimony. Sam had agreed to give tbe dame SSOO and call it quits, but some of the younger Morningstars with more comba iveness than discretion, caused him to repudiate the contract and give her what she could get after a square stand up tight. It was suggested to us that these Morningstars are not the same family as those morui ng stars that sang together atcreation’s dawn. Jesse Slesher, the bondsman of Benj. F. Evilsizer, indicted foj larceny in Jay county, which case is here on chanue of venue, brought the defendant into court Tuesday, turned him I over to sheriff 51 Griff and asked to be discharged from his recognizance, which was granted. The sheriff took Evilsizer to Portland the same evening, where he now languishes in jail.

Frederick Blakey, James Ferguson and Jacob Beitman were appointed members of the board of equalization I for the year 1883.
