The young men of Decatur are organizing a gymnaseum society, where they will meet and enjoy the modern sports. The following persons are candidates for offices: Dick Dorwin, gymnasearch; Bai. Perry, light weight; Grant Weisell, heavy weight; Craig Miller, porter. We would rather be an angel and with the angels stand, or sit along with school mams and take them by the band, than to be ye local scribe pitching from “Grocere to Grooeri,” vainlyattempting to catch an item as it flew past in the feverish brain of the energetic business man. We call a halt, and in the iSrne of Andrew Jackton, “by the eternal,” we must and will have them if we should get up an earthquake equal to that of Java. His Honor, ’Squire Bailey, is the . most dignified looking gentleman in Northern Indiana, and from this fact, ‘They marry and are given in marriage; 1 he Squire is compelled to perform the Kemnoy. On last Tuesday he joined together in holy wedlock Mr. Henry Gillespie to Miss Emma Deyo. The happy couple left the city, wrapped m bright visions for the future, and the Squire seriously said to himself : Like a vulture, like a dove, Like a thousand things is love. Donned his greased plug hat and with measured step appeared on the street just as though nothing had happened.

J. A. Long, of Bluffton, is in the city. Mr. R. K. Allison, of Borno, was in the city on last Monday. The Decatur Foundry will have an advertisement in next weeks issue. Bob Cummins and J. B.

If we ask you for wood, will you give us a poem on beautiful snow. Well, then, just send along the poetry, we may as well go down to an untimelygrave now as any other time. On Tuesday the Democrat had a pleasant call from our genial and verypleasant fellow townsman, Mr. R. B. Allison, also that live Insurance Ager.t of Ft. Wayne, Mr. Clark Fairbanks. Call again gentlemen. According to the Decatur Journal, Death, Hell er and the Grave are all represented in that town by parties of that name. Friend Roth ought to be able to get out a red hot paper in Decatur. —Blufftcn CArontc/e. If “death” is in our midst he is not among the dry bones, nor i« he seen on the public highway, but its a figure representing “Limberger cheese” deposited in the Journal office, of which the followingexplains itself : Our brethren of the Journal will move their office, together with all the habiliaments of war, into Brock’s new block, on Second street. The procession will start early on Saturday, and Brother Philips informed our reporter that it will be death to the man or beast who will attempt to break through their serried columns. Our enterprising business man L. A. Center, has opened one of the most extensive boot and shoe stores in the city. His business stand is in Derk’s block on Second street. By the time he has placed his goods on the shelves and given them the finishing touch, in the way of neatness his store will be second to none in Northern Indiana. If you don’t believe our scribe go and see for yourself said the little man. An effort is now being made by the citizens of Decatur to induce the Central Union telephone company to construct a telephone line from this city to that place. Several of the leading citizens of Decatur were in town for the purpose of conferring with Superintendent Bernard, on Tuesday, but he wasout of town. It is likely, however, that the line will toon be built. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. On last Monday evening a frame house of Mr. John Brandabery, who resides five miles south of this place was totally destroyed by fire. It seems from what we can gather that everything in the building was burned except a bed. At the time the fire occurred, the family, except two boys were all in the city making preparations to move here. The fire originated through a defective flue, which by the way, is another warning to all, look out that you may not meet with the sfme fate. Baby Mine.—Our scribe, believing in the command, multiply and replenish the earth, and further believing that a complete record should be made of the little cherubs that come among us, we have collected the following for this week: Wm. Wetter, October 2nd, a girl. W. H. Bickett, October 13th, a 9| pound boy. Dayton Steele, OcUber 21st, 10| pound boy (city.) I. S Warner, October 23rd, bouncing boy. Wm. Russell,October 23rd, prettiest girl baby in the county. There may be instances when it is real charity to loan tools to a neighboring farmer, but the farmer who undertakes to conduct his work with borrowed tools will not make a success of it except to make himself a nuisance. But such men there are in almost evert community. They not only borrow wherever they can, but invariably fail to return the article as promised, and when it is called for, its location is unknown,all hands start out on an exciting hunt, and when the thing is found, the probabilities are that it is broken or so eatei by rust that it is unfit for use. it is hoped that no readers of tne Democrat are of this shiftless class.

M ¥>T E It lot >L y MISSI NG. — Captain flill and Deputy Sherill McConnell have returned from Chicano and Learned Nothin* of the Loot Ku**. On last Thursday week, fay Rugg, a farmer living one and a halt miles northeast of this city, in company with a large number of our citizens took the afternoon train on the C. & A. for the purpose of attending the Chicago Exposition. After arriving in Chicago he left the Decatur boys and stayed by himself on Thursday night. On Friday morning he met Gus Schlegel, a citizen of Decatur, and they remained together during the day, and on Friday night put up at the Benton House, 154 and 156 Clark Street. On Saturday, after perambulating about the city for a few hours they came across Mr. John Edwards, also of Decatur, and they three stopped at the same house until Monday afternoon, when they paid their bills and started for home. They went to the C. &A. depot. boarded the 5 o'clock train and after remaining tn the car for a few moments, the question arose as to whether they were on the right train or not. Rugg threw his grip-sack into the car rest and said “we have about ten minutes, I will step off and see whether we are on the right train.’ And this is the last he was seen. Several days passed before anything was thought of the matter as he was expected home one every train, but as he did not put in an appearance, his wife grew anxious about him and came to town to investigate the matter. Some of our citizens hearing of his mysterious disappearance and not returning, met together and sent Dept. Sheriff McConnell and A. J. Hill to Chicago to see if ' they could get any clue as to his whereabouts. These parties left on last Friday night and returned home on Monday evening with the report that he could not be found. At present the whole affair is wrapped up in mystery and we arc unable to give any reason for his disappearance. He leaves a wife and one child who have the sympathy of the whole community. sioo Reward For the arrest and conviction of the party or parties who burglarized the saloon of Jacob Stout, on the morning of the 21st of October, 1883, at Bluffton, Indiana, and a liberal reward for the recovery of the money taken. The money was composed of eight ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS, two of which were marked across the back, or on the back, with red ink —think with some person’s name. There were also some $5 00, SIO.OO and $20.00 bills taken from the safe. And among other goods missing, is a silver hunting- case watch, well worn, and the works were loose in the case; three three-bladed knives, with words, “Chew PocketKnife Tobacco,” engraved on one side, and on the other side, “Presented by Everson, Wilson & Company, Louisville, Ky;” smooth, steele handles. Address all communications to Sher iff M. M. Justus, Bluffton, Wells Co., Indiana, who will pay the above reward for the capture of the thieves. Please look the case up close, and hand circular to good men to work. M. M. Justus, Sheriff. It would be well fop our business men to be on the look out in Decatur, as the country is full of burglars. Hymeneal. Yesterday evening at the residence of Mr. W. G. Spencer, jr., was the marriage of Mr. B. A. Dent to Emma Remp, a charming young lady of Willshire, (>hio. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Teague, of the M. E. Church, in the presence of a large number of the most intimate friends of the high contracting parties. After the golden knot had been properly tied the evening was spent in the most pleasant manner by all present. The occasion was one of the most enjoyable that has transpired in this city so r a long time. The Democrat and its entire force join in the general joy and heartily wish the youthful Byron and bis fair companion a future of success and happiness. We understand that the name of John W. Kern, of Howard county, will be presented by his friends to the next Democratic convention in this dis'rict for the congressional nomination. Kern is san peur ct sans reproche. His abilities none dare question, his fealty to Democracy is everywhere recognized, his powers as an orator are exceptional, his nomination would be equivalent to election and bring strength to the entire ticket.- Portland Sun. Hon. John W. Kern, of Kokomo, is bright, brainy and full of nerve, and will make excellent congressional timber. Should the Democracy of this district nominate him he will be elected by a large majority, and Old Adams will fall into line with a majority for him that the Rads w ill think that they have another Java earth quake in their midst. Special Notice. I desire to say to the people of Adams Conuty that if you want an Abstract to your land, Mortgage or Deed excavated you can get the same done with neatness and despatch by calling on A. Me. W. BOLLMAN, no3otf Recorder.

Our Women. In last Monday’s Item out f riends on the Journal presented their readers with an excellent article as to their views of women. The Democrat endorses each and every word and especially the idea that a good and true woman is the noblest work of God,for to be one is the best thing beneath the skies. A good and true woman exists independent of all outward adornments. It is not station, or wealth, beauty of person or accomplishments that makes women. These may adorn womanhood as the ivy adorns the oak, but they should not be mistaken for the thing they adorn. That a good woman’s in fluence is the chief anchor of society cannot be denied, but on the other hand it is conceded that her influence is one of the purifying elements of the world. No costly marble or brazen brass «an build a more endearing monument to her memory than her tender impress for good upon all t hose around her. Life’s battlefield may hurl the power and genius of a man from greatness to to ruin, for to a great extent it hangs on the the mutability of popular opin ion, but a good true woman is the mother of goodness and the queen mother to whom we all owe our allegiance, and it is the duty of every man to see lest they do not cause one of these to weep, for God will count their tears. The Item mentions another kind of a woman they dislike—a bad woman. Let us suggest that the world would not be inflicted with so many bad women was it not for the coarse, brutal treatment on the part of the father, husband or brother. If they would treat them as though they were splendid flowers, love them as they love themselves, they would fill the home with a joy that would last forever. To have a happy home the husband must believe in the democracy of the fireside, in the equality of man. and woman, for there can be no such a thing in the highest sense as a happy home without it, and a man without a happy home feels like a passenger in a foreign land. To be good, kind and tender at home, always be careful to provide well for those who are depending upon you always loving and cheerful, for they arc the cheapest commodities in the world, will have a tendency to build up a future fireside, around which sweet and happy faces will glow and gleam in the sacred flame of cheerfulness while time lasts, Think of a wife that is afraid of her husband, think of a child that will cower and run away when he approaches. What kind of children does he expect to raise whose wife is a beggar and a coward. When a home is in this condition God’s altar weeps for them; when they are as they should be they rejoice; A good woman and a good home is a garland of roses; a bad woman and a bad home is a crown of thorns. — - Commissioners Court. The Board of County Commissioners met in special session at the Auditor’s office on last Thursday, for the purpose of receiving bids and selling the Pontius gravel road bonds. The Adams County Bank and the Decatur National Bank each tiled seperate bids for the purchase of the sl2-1 OJO in bonds as advertised by Auditor Christen. Upon opening the same the bids were as follows : Adams County Bank $12,031. Decatur National Bank, $12,000. The bil of the Adams County Bank being the highest and best bid as considered by the board the bonds were awarded to them by the paying into the County Treasure of $12,031 to be placed to the credit of said road. Nimrods. “For men may come and men may go” but we are bound for the wilds of Michigan, “thar" to erect a rude fort amidst the black pines, where sleeps bruno, and where the noble deer may be seen grazing, not suspecting that the following Adams county hunters are quietly waiting with rifle in hand to paralyze it: George W. Easton, Abraham Rawley, I. J. Lang, Charles Bender, Reuben Myers, George W. Fidler, Ans Roil, Eugene Burns and William Heaston, and Jacob Rowley. Mr. Fidler informed a Democrat scribe that he expected io “down’ a fat deer and would remember this office with some choice venison from its fat haunches. Schoo! Report. Report of the Decatur public schools for the week ending October 19th: Number enrolled, 352. Average number belonging, 353. Average attendance, 334. Per cent, qf attendance, 95. Number tardy, 18. Room 5 bad no tardiness. Rooms 2 and 7 had most cases of tardiness. Rooms 3 and 8 had the best attendance in respect to enrollment. Room 8 had the best attendance. Room 6 had the poorest attendance. Mis. M. Mosson, of Champaign, 111., is visiting Mr. and Mrs. G. W. A. Luckey. Dr. Jelleff and J. H. Bremerkamp took a hunt on last Saturday, in which the Doctor came out just one quail behind. Ask him and he can explain.

George's Mash. Oh last Saturday Mr. George Archbold of St. Mary’s towhship was arrested for attempting to commit a rape upon the person of Miss Sarah Peltz. The case came up for hearing before his honor, Esquire Bailey, but a change of venue being asked for, the Squire handed it over to Squire Durbin for investigation. On Monday, long before the tilne for the hearing of the ease, the city had the appearance of a general market day, and by the time his Honor had properly clothed himself with his judicial ermine and had taken his seat with that natural and easy dignity characteristic of a good Justice of the Peace, in stepped the prosecutor, wearing an injured 1 ok upon his cla sic brow, all because the peace and dignity of the great state of Indiana, had been desperately insulted. The audience room of the court house was well filled, and among the crowd our scribe was pained to nctice some whose hair had become somewhat thin on the tep of the head. This, however, could be accounted for by the peculiar condition of the invironments. After some skirmishing along the lines, the prosecutor dismissed the case, which evidently shows that Mr. Archbold's transgression of the moral law was not what the lovely Sarah would like to make it. MONROE ITEMS. Not quite so much rain falling as usual. The roads have begun to dry. The people of this vicinity have begun to gather in their abundant corn crop. We arc sorry to hear that one of our young school teachers of this place reported himself as having stopped at the big gate. We think that he had better not be in a hurry about telling where he stops hereafter. Married, on last Saturday evening, W. B. Hunter, of Berne, to Miss Lyddie Wagoner, of Monroe, by Squire Merryman. Marriage Licenses. George W. Deem to Sarah E. Galbreath, William B. Hunter to Louisa L. Wagner, David M. Myers to Sarah E. Mercer, George W. Sipe to Emma Myers, Ulrich Lahmann to Juliett Sprunger.

Win, kick like a plumed knight of the quill, and like an armed warrior threw the Limberger back against the brazen foreheed of a villian who was heartless enough to commit such an attrocious deed. Let it be settled once and for all time to come that any man who will attempt to deposit ‘Limberger’ in a printing office “shoot him down *n the | spot.” But now let us be serious about the matter, Bro. Journal, is not a fact that its the dead corpse of the Republicans, not only dead but stinketh, that causes the trouble in the office. The Democrat only suggests this view of the case not being quite sure of it, from j the fact that your disinfectant had the desired effect, something that we always thought was impossible, as it would take all the ante dead medicine in the world to counteract the effluvia arising from the last en 1 of the soulless monster.
