I W. U.T.U. Temperance “Notes. TEN YEARS HENCE. Thp choice you are making' to day” is determining very largely what your future* shall be. If you choose the seliis’h gratis; cation of the moment you must b~e willing” to forego lasting good. “Which shall it he, young woman—the sensational-novel of to day, or a love of purer literature ten years hence?” "Which shall it be, the ball-room and the theater to-day, or a love of simple, pleasures and home Comforts ten years hence?” “Which shall it be, the light flirtation to-day, or the respect of your friends ana ytfur own self-respect ten years hence?” “Which shall it be, young man—the cigarette and cigar to-day, or a sound, clean body ten veals hence?” “Which shall it be, the club-parlors and billiard-room to-day, or a steady brain and an honorable name ten years hence?” “You have it in your power, each.ot you, to say which of these two classes of things shall be.” '' . It is not only true that, “we build the ladder by which we rise from the lowly earth to ihe vaulted skies," but it is sadly true that we may .“build a ladder which will lead to the pit ol despair,” We understand that a copy of Indiana’s tobacco law has been put upon the walls ot each tobacco dealer in Decatur. This is well. When a lad under sixteeA years of age calls for tobacco in any of its forms, it. will be easy for the dealer to simply poipt him to the law and adhere to its requirements and no time need be spent in argument. And mothers, see to it that vour boys, do not smoke. Observation and experience have amply demonstrated that the youth who uses tobacco in any ot its forms—and especially in the form of cigarettes—for any length of time, so weakens his heart and nerves that he can not develop vigorous manhood, and he is quite certain also to acquire a taste for alcoholic drinks. It is a question of both health and morals. , ‘ * # * The Democrat’s prize contest which was to have taken “place on Saturday ot this week, has Been postponed one month ! to give bur agents an opportunity to send, in a rnimber of subscribers they are 'n«j.v receiving for cur campaign club.

Ihe Boston Store is , receiving a large invoice of new goods from the east, mention of which is made in a big “ad” else where in the Democrat. Messrs. Kuebler & Molt-z are hustlers for business, as is evidenced by their increasing trade. Read’their announcement. The three young men of St. Marys township, who were brought before ’Squire Smith last Monday on the charge of interriipting religious services were released on bail until Tuesday of next week when their trial will take place. There seems to be a prevailing opinion that, the -bovs are wrongfully accused. However, the trial will settle that point. The Republicans held their state convention on Wednesday and nominated the following ticket: Auditor of state, I. |N. Walker; Secretary, Milton Trusler; Treasurer, George "W. Pjxley; Judo-e of Fifth d strict, R. W. Mcßride, Attcerm Gdicial, John W. Lovett; Clerk of Sm prerne Court, W. I.

Leßrun who will have a pub lie sale on Sept. 15th at his residence west of Monroe expects to retire from farming on account of his inability, to farm and ate tend to the business of veterinary surgeon, in whieh.he has an extensive nractice in the latter. Parties who need his services in that tine will always find him prompt and efiicieht, giving the very best of satisfaction. At his public sale he will offer a fine Belgium and English Draft Stallion, two years old, weighing 1100 pounds. Acting upon the advice of eountv attorney Erwin who regards a vacancy existing in the office of township trustee in Kirkland township, the Board of Commissioners on Wednesday made the appointment of Wrn Breiner to fill the sup posed vacancy. However, Auditor Miller ,whp had Counseled authority., refused to make a record of the appoinlment on the ground that there, was no vacancy in the office, and there the- matter rests. The I affair created a heated discussion between Miller andffhe Board, for the time be mg. I lie county attorney nas submitted the legs.! points involved in the controversy to some-eminent, jurists of the state for their opinion. * . , —- , —_ Oft last E riday another horse was injured, although not seriously, among the old machinery that‘is left standing on the vacant lot at the rear of the Democrat office. This makes three er four horses that have been injured in that place within the past year or two. Two very fine animals were so badly crippled that they had to be killed, and y'et people continue to hitch their teams there. Doubtless they are not awareof the danger or they would not do so. This suggests the need of better accommodations for our farmers who come here to do their trading and the city ought to provide hitching posts, etc. for their use. It might be well for our town authorities to give this matter their attention as ft is of much importance. The first annual reunion of the Catholic Benevolent Legion, of Indiana, was held at Logansport, on Tuesday of this week. The attendance was quite large from all sections of the state and the meeting was one of great interest to the society. The parade on the streets was simply grand, and be it sa’d to the credit of t he Decatur boys, about sixty-five in number, that they were accorded the honor of being the'finest uniformed rank in attendance. Everywhere they were admired for the precision and grace of their movements and th*y were accordingly complimented oh all skies. One of the important events of the occasion was capturing the next meeting of the Legion at Decatur and all will be glad to know it will be held here next year. Our boys worked hard for the prize and won. This, meeting will be a great drawing card for Decatur and the
