Those who fear the failure of natural gas eventually in Indiana, have been casting about for a cheap substitute, and it is now claimed that gas can be manufactured for 14 ets. per 1000 cubic feet. Companies, it is stated, are in process of formation for a production of the cheap manufacturing gas. However it may be many years yet before the gas of Indiana entirely fails. Recent wells drilled in the gas belt indicate that an abundance of the precious material yet exists.

Clarence Reynolds and Andrew Welfly have embarked in jp Elkhwt- Ind., having purchased a thorfiogh dining hall and restaurant. They commenced business last Monday. They are young men of enterprise and pluck, and deserve success. While our town does not want to see such men go away, their best wishes follow them. Mr. John Huffman, Hartford township, was ‘here paying “rents” Tuesday. Mr. Huffman is a large tax payer, and a great friend of gravel roads. He can go, from his home, to either Berne, Geneva, Linn Grove, or Bluffton without leaving them, but cannot get to Decatur without traveling the mud road. A number of our capitalists have a project on foot that will be a boom to our town. . They will organize a stock company -.for the manufacture of boots and slugs. They will be assisted by a man from Fort Wayne who is a practical man and will put some capital in the enterprise. Such a factory will employ forty hands the year ’round and no doubt will be a good investment to the stockholders. Let the good work go on. The following named persons were elected, by the Christian Endeavors of the Presbyterian church, as officers, to serve the ensuing six months, Monday evening: President, Will Hughes. Vice President, Kate Jackson. Secretary, Hattie Wertzberger. Treasurer, Rose Christian. The society is in good working order and increasing in number, and merits the praise of all good citizens.

Rev. G. B. Work and family left here for Alexandria last Wednesday, where he goes to take charge of the M. E. class at that place. They have been here for the last four years. In their leaving here the best wishes of our people go with them, for during the time they were here, they endeared themselves to all that associated themselves with them. A large number of their friends were at the depot to see them start and bid them God-speed. The Electrio Lights are not what our people expected. The complaints are numerous now, and when the foliage is oat they will increase, for the size of the light and the distance they are apart will make them of but little use to predestrians, except when very near them. If we are to have electric lights we should have at least ten more of them, or have a smaller light between them. They will do for the center of the street as long as our shade trees are small, but what we want is light for the side-walks, and what the people will demand before six weeks passes. The sun vapors were small but gave a better light for the pedestrian than the electric light.fl

The popular Elk’s dinner—lsc 52tf Mrs. John Lammerman is no better. Sheriff Doak was at Monroe Wednesday on business. Frisinger & Mangold shipped a fine load of horses east this week.

M. M. Kirsch, Sec’y. Rev. G. Hunter Myers occupied the pulpit of the M. E. church last Sunday evening. He is a young man of good attainments, a good talker, and will be a credit to the church to which he belongs. Our people may feel proud of some of the young men that have gone forth from here to fill positions in the world, that none are greater. The boys and men who shoot birds and mark, within the city, will find themselves in the hands of an officer before long. A word to some people makes them mad—so does the salutation of the officer when he says to them “I have a warrant for you for violating the laws of the state.” They are sure to curse the prosecuting attorney, the court or jury trying the case, and all others connected therewith, except themselves, the violators of the law.

State Treasurer Albert Gall, last week deposited in an Indianapolis bank $350,000 to be paid on debt. This debt is the legacy, in the main part, from republican administrations and the Democratic party is pledged to pay it off. Last fall the Democrat promised its readers that the state debt would be paid off at the rate of $400,000 every year as a result of the high taxes. That promise is being literally fiulfilled and the truthfulness of the statement verified, ft is a result of Democratic management and economy.

CY’S HEROISM. He Bravely Stops a Frightened Runaway Team. Miss Martin, of Decatur, Leaps From The Vehicle. Last Saturday Mrs. Martin, of Decatur, Ind., was taken seriously ill at her home. Her son Edward Martin, Secured a livery team and drove to this city to get his sister, who is a student at the Academy of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart.” Sunday morning he started to drive to Decatur, accompanied by his sister. He left the academy early and reached Fort Wayne at 9 o’clock. In driving through this city the team of horses became terribly frightened at the electric ears. Mr. Martin held the horses under his control till he reached the corner of Calhoun and Wayne streets. At this corner a ear approached the taam and another came up from the rear. The i horses backed and plunged, then wheeled east on Wayne street like mad. Just as they turned the carriage tongue broke. The horses leaped into a mad gallop and the tongueless vehicle swerved rapidly from one side of the street to the other. Miss Martin leaped from the carriage and fell upon the pavement but received only a few scratches. Just before she jumped, Cy Greeiisfelder, the cashier of the Fruit House, saw the dangerous position of the two occupants of the carriage, and heroifcally rushed into the street to stop the team. He seized one of the horses bythebitlbut the animal jerked away. The courageous man ran alongside the galloping teMfc and made another grab at the •bridle, anStbistime lie was successful in securing Arm held. He so manipulated the bridkfcat the team came to a standstill. Mr. Greetkfelder was cheered for his brave and heedtact.— Ft. Wayne Journal. Mot Office Beekero. Warren township, Huntington county, claims the distinction of having no resident wanting office of any kind, the solitary justice of the peace in the township having resigned. This is a good “rep” for the peceable citizens of Warren township, but we have a township in our own county whose history can be favorably compared to Warren’s. There is not a township in the State that is more peaceable than Preble, unless it is one of the other eleven townships in Adams county. There has been several years at a time when there was not a peace justice in the township. During a period of four years, which one of our ex-sheriffs served, his fees amounted to nearly $8,000.. This was about $2,000 per year. Out of the SB,OOO fees,; only $12.80 came from Preble township during the four years the sheriff served. This speaks well for Preble township and she gives promise of a peaceful future. Only once in a great while can a ripple of bad feeling be detected on her social horizon. Office seekers never thrived within her borders. If Indiana has another township outside of this county with a better record than Preble trot her to the front. OWING TO THE SMALL ROOM -ANDTHE INSECURITY OFFERED AGAINST FIRE, HENRY WINNES HAS MOVED HIS STOCK OF BOOTS AND SHOES TO THE “BOWERS BLOCK,” FOUR DOORS WEST OF HIS FOR-. MER PLACE.

Ink’s friends take much pride iu his new assignment, and look for even greater 'things from him this year than last, when during the second series of the Eastern league, he brought the Binghampton’s from the foot of the list to the championship. Inks salary was two thousand last year, but it is claimed that the Washington club has raised this $4,0000. Do Not Kill Robins. There are persons at the present dayand not all old women either—who beleive that killing a robin will bring bad luck. According to ancient belief the storm cloud was a huge bird, the Arabians represented his wings as measuring 10,000 fathoms. This bird lived on worms, the latter being streaksof lightening accompanying storms. The Germans remodeled the by creating the god thor, whose bird was a robin; consequently to kill a robin first meant death by lightening, then bad luck.—New York Telegram. If You Would Live. If your name is to live at all it, is.so much more to have it live iu peoples hearts than only in their brains.
