The C. & E. freight house was entered by a thief last Friday night. He forced his way through the door but got no booty. It was a “water haul” with him. Mr. B. J. Terveer, of Decatur, presented his daughter with a beautiful French harp, purchased at Kyle & Plumadore’s music house.—Fort Wayne Synday. Oct. 15. Wild Geese were Hying in an northward direction last Saturday. They evidently got their direction mixed somewhat on account of the high winds that were raging then. Col. “Dick” Townsend, of the Randall, Fort Wayne, is said to have been in the city one day last week, but as we failed to espy him at any time we take it for gran'ed that he was in better company. Mr. James E. Major, of Portland, and Miss Mary L. Walters, daughter of the late Rev. Washington Walters, were very quietly married at the home of the brides mother On Thursday evening October 12th, 1893. Pastor 11. H. Smith, officiating. Bert Nicholds claimes that be is entitled to the premium on pears. He picked one and one»hajf bushels from a small tree. Its diameter is not over four inches. The quality of the pear is equal to the quanity. We know whereof we speak. Albert Spuler, who lives south of Decatur, on a farm, is out a new buggy and set of singles buggy harness. Last Friday night some one made a fair exchange of the above articles, taking a new buggy and harness and leaving an old worn-out outfit. Pete Forbing’s business room on east Second Street, is fast coming up to its intended proportions. There is a wellbuilt bake-oven attached on the rear end, and reports say that Jdhn Colchin will occupy the same as a restaurant and bakery when completed. Mr. C. McLean, of Lancaster, Ohio, a brother-in-law of our fellow townsman, Dan Donavan, dropped in on him last Saturday, on his return from the great World’s Fair. Mr. Me. has served the people of his county as sheriff on two occasions, and being a simon pure Cleveland Democrat, expects to again serve them as postmaster. Last Friday night a jolly party, —mostly cigar-makers,—from our city, made a very unceremonious invasion on the residence of Mr. Louis Bockiiecht, of Root township. They were taken in and cared for by the host and hostess until the next morning, when they were released on promise that they would call again in the near future. The next invasion we are informed will be by special announcement. A Union township farmer whose name was conspicuous as a candidate on the People’s ticket last fall, took in the great Fair last week. Last Sunday morning in company with acquaintances from his neighborhood were strolling about the city looking at the curious, when our People’s Candidate man remarked to his associates that he would like to have his shoes polished. One of the party remarked that that was an easy matter to have done in Chicago, as boys could be hired to do the job for five or teq cents. The price was too great for our P. C. M., who said he could go to a saloon near by and use their blacking, gratis, which he proceeded to do. While in the saloon a party of “cappers” for the place were in the act of shaking dice for the drinks, at which our P. C. M. was invited to join. After shaking the dice for a few rounds at which drinks and cigars were taken out after each round, the barkeeper demanded a settlement for his goods, which, as the “cappers” explained it, was all on our friend, tbeP. C. M., and amounted to $3,20. Os course there was no getting away from paying the bill in full, which was done, and all went well with our friend from Union township. Moral: When you want a shite, always pationize the people in the business. It’s tlie cheapest in the end.

Jessie Patrick Bobo, editor and proprietor of the Evening News, of our city, was united in marriage last Wednesday evening to Nellie Hart, daughter of Henry 11. and Frank Hart, Rev. Vitz, of the Herman Duthern church officiating. The Democrat extends congratulations. There is no need of paying an exorbitant price for hickory nuts hereafter, now that John T. France, Godfrey Christen, W. 11. 11. France, and John Lenhart have gone into the business of gathering this toothsome fruit. They were out all afternoon, last Wednesday, near the St. Paul Church, where they gathered, and gathered, and when darkness compelled them to cease gathering, they had gathered a total of seventeen kickory nuts, which they devided equally among their number—the odd nut was allowed John France for having furnished the lunch which he had bought before starting. Henry 11. Bremercamp, of the Fornax Mills, has putin a new Buckwheat. Rye and Graham Flour mill in connection with his already extensive milling plant. Farmers coming to mill with wheat can also bring along their Rye and Buckwheat, and return home with four different kinds of Hour, at one coming. The above mill was purchased of the Richmond Buckwheat Scourer and Cleaner Company, of Lockport, New York, at a cost of SBOO. When purchasing goods of whatever kind, the purchaser is looking about for the place where he can buy the best and most goods for the least money. In this age of enlightenment the intelligent purchaser invariably consults his newspaper when about to make his purchases. To all who read the Democrat and in want of anything in the dry goods, hardware, tinware, fancy goods of every description, will inform themselves where to go to by reading the tbripple column "ads” of Heininger & Co., which appears elsewhere in today’s issue. Surprised.

No one enjoved the pleasant time better than Aunt Delinda, each one present congratulating her and wishing her all the pleasures this life affords.

IT WAS EVER THI S IN DE CATER. • The Democrat for several weeks past has been giving a “bit” of information on several happenings in our city that was not altogether of the ordinary make-up of news, and which, no doubt, gave offense to several of our people. The gambling room. for rath-1 er the parapbanalia used then bow figures in a wrong-doing that will cost■ the offender, if apprehended, more than ; the opening of a many-times passed jack-pot. The name of the wrongdoer as announced to our people when the base-ball season was being ushered into existance in Decatur, was Cappie —Tanner. He was somewhat of a balltosser and masher combined. In fact he made many acquaintances among the fair ones of our city: was feasted and cared ’for in circles where other young men of our city with established reputations for morality and gentlemanly deportment were excluded. | For some unexplainable reason CappieTanner became in need of a few “spondulix,” so he sold his iuterest in the poker room furniture to his partner, giving him a bill of sale thereon. Ere long he got hard up again for money, and bypothicated the same furniture to Horace S. Porter, for $4. Some time during Friday Cappie—Tanner's form- j er I ture sold him had been disposed of by ' Cappie- Tan per®o Horace S. Porter, the second-hand-man. to which place: he went and produefug a bill of sale I received his goods. Porter was the only short man in all this transaction, ami all day Friday he kept up a diligent search in the city and depots for iiis ■ man, but failed to find him. Decatur people, as a ciass, are hospitable to a fault, especially so to strang-. ers coming into our city. This is as it should be, but there is no need of going. • beyond Mason and Dixon's line in the ; matter of courteous treatment toward strangers. The party above mentioned. Cappie I Tanner, was a total stranger in the city | until our base-balTOmm was strength-1 ened by outside people, and for out society people to fete and honor a people with whom they know nothing of, is something that Ward McAllister wouldn't be guilty of, to say the least. School boys are lively but the shoes bought at Voglewed’’s old stand will hold them. Sherman Mott of our city was one of the many invited guests that attended the Insurance mens' banquet at the Wayne hotel Fort Wayne, last Friday night. From all accounts it was a gay and festive affair, A grand entertainment will be given (under the auspices of the Women's s Relief Corps and the G. A. 11 at the Grand Army Hall, on Friday evening. October 27. 1893, at Which all are invited to attend. By order of Committee. The old Crabbs corner is nearing completion as rapidly as the workmen can move. When completed it will add great relief to that portion of the city in point of beauty, and the only question which puzzles the average citizens is: which kind of business will be transacted therein? —t • The Democrat always takes pleasure in writing up Anything of a newsy na'ture, and also every act of enterprise that is manifested by our people wherein the general public are made the benefactors. Feeling assured that the readers and patrons of so popular a newspaper as the Democrat are al ways on the alert and ready to observe any change that may take place in ife columns, we "to-day present for inspection the great inducement offered by Messrs. Kern A Brittson in the boot ams shoe line. These popular and enterprising young gentlemen have bought the entire stock of foot-wear heretofore held by J. H. Voglewede, and as his successors will not only try good will Anil esteem held by "him, but will try to excel in everything done by him in the way of low prices. To those of our patrons who are in need of anything in tneir line will tip well to give them a call.

Falk was borne in Pennsylvania October 10th. IsH, and died October sth. IN!::, she came with her parents to Mt. Cora, Ohio, when- she was united in marriage t<> Joel Falk, and Soon came to Indiana. They began life in pioneer style. Mrs. Faik was the mother of four sons and three daughters, all of whom survive her i-xcept Freeman the v oungest son who died just one month previousof the same disease "Typhoid fever. Mrs. Falk, was one of those individuals whom lite family and neighbors will miss for years and years to eofiie; always affectionate kind ami gentle to all cheering those who were down hearted, admonishing those who were wayward and wooing ■others to be kind. Many an acquaintance and neighbor of hers will now remember the kindness she has shown to them, during afflictions and in times of need, “as well as in healtlj and prosperity," and none can now recall an unkind word or deed from her. >o devoted was she to her family that they became the subject of her prayers, ami the delight of her contemplations, and her kindly advice to them will come baek each day as. the various duties and responsibilitlesof this world confront them. She fkiw.w4MH-muchtlum.was in this life to contend with ami many tones during her sickness, admonished her family to make silr& of their acts ami life, and meet her in Heaven, she told them through her tears how trying and hard it would be for them to live without a mother, and that she would irv hard to bear her afflictions and live with them longer “for their sake,” but that she believed she could not recover, ami that God was calling for her. Mr. Falk lias been faithful in the cause of Christianity during her entire life, from the time she arrived at the years of accountability until her, triumphant death, and while we- mourn and sorrow' for her we feel in spite of all doubt that she is better now.. That to her there comes no more pain, or anguish, or suspense, and bow submissively to the itievitalfle and await the time of meetiij'g. The funeral services were held at Mt. ‘ Tabdr Church.
