Merchant Jesse Niblick was a visitor to Fort Wayne, the fore part of the week. ■ . A certain young lady says—“l would rather be an old man’s darling, than a young man’s slave.” A. B. Morrison and family of Marion, Indiana, were the guests of Judge Studabaker over Sunday. ‘ J. Thomas Merryman, of the firm of France & Merryman, attorneys at law, made a business trip to Geneva last Monday morning, returning in the evening- , Mrs. William Wetter has been at Wren, Ohio, for the past week, waiting on her daughter and son in-law Mr. and Mrs. Stults, who are laying very low with Lung Fever. Misses Loretta Snow, and Lulu Porter, who have been teaching at Berne, are visiting at their homes in this city on account of Measles being in the school and which was closed last week. Judging from the great quantity of salty butter that is sold in our city, one would imagine that Lot’s wife had returned to mother Earht and gone into the butter business. A young man of Rockford, Ohio, becoming so badly smitten with one of the fair maidens near St. Paul church, he continued his attention by writing and then by sending dime presents such as perfumes, etc. Our reporter was as to the recent illness of Elias Durbin. While true that seme time ago he had a severe sick spell, since his recovery he is as well as could be expected of a man eighty-four years old, being able to walk down in town almost any pleasant day.

They will improve the appearance of this already neatly arranged emporium, besides giving more space to the buyer and salesman in the examination of goods. Call Cornlu and the Mid-Winter Fair. A more favorable opportunity than the present to visit California will probably never be offered. The rates' for excursion tickets, via the North-Western Line, are the lowest ever made, and, aside from the delightful semi-tropical climate of California, the Mid-Winter Fair at San Francisco, which is now in the full tide of success, is a most potent attraction to the tourist and pleasure-seeker. The trip from Chicago t«. California is made via the North-Western Line in the marvelously short time of 3}< days. Palace Drawing Room Sleeping Cars leave Chicago daily, and run through without change, and all meals en-route are served in dining cars. Daily Tourisit Sleeping Car service is also maintained by this line between Chicago and San Francisco and Los Angeles, and every Thursday the party is personally conducted by an experienced excursion manager. Completely equipped berths in tourist sleepers are furnished at a cost of only SO,OO each from , Chicago to the Pacific coast, thus enabling passengers to make the journey in a most comfortable and economical manner.

DECATUR. ADAMS COUNTY, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1814.

All work warranted. 50 3 tn Father Wllkcnw’on Washington Day Exercises at the Court House. I fully concur in the remarks made in last week’s Democrat regarding the Washington’s birthday celebration at the Court House. When reading the Evening World, I concluded at once that the editor must not have been present, as he since stated. Indeed, we can feel proud of our Decatur orchestra, and we can with honor send them to Bluffton from whence we had to borrow. The early home training and its good results in Washington were well and eloquently set forth by Rev. Gregg. The history of Washington and his title, “The Father of our Country,” were feelingly expressed by Mr. D. Spangler. The patriotism of Washington was glowingly and truthfully upheld by Rev. Smith. The honor of American citizenship gained through Washington, was with eloquence, humor and wit placed before the audience by Rev. Vitz. The scholars did well, and it certafrilv pleased everyone to see them do well, I was especially pleased (as I always am) to hear boys sing. With good wishes to all, and ill feel ingto none. Rev. 11. Theo. Wilkens. The 3rd, of February, which is the Chinese new year, the citizens of the celestial empire are compelled to pay their debts and square up with the world. While the custom is practiced by the heathen people, it is not at all heathenish in principle, and it would be a very nice thing to introduce* in' this country as sort of an innovation in business ethics. In China the heathen must pay their debts in order to appease the wrath of the gods, which of course are as inanimate as and stone can be, while in this country it is hard to get some people to perform the same duty to real live creditors, to say nothing of pleasing a higher personage. Last Sabbath, February 25th Jacob Buhler Sr, passed another milestone, the 69th in his journey of life. His sons. Jacob, Chester, Samuel, John, Albert and their families to the number of 25 were present and greeted him with congratulations and good wishes. Mr Buhler is one of the pioneers of Decatur, having lived here for upwards of forty-five years, coming here when young from Germany. He has raised a family of young men; all of whom are, engaged in business in Decatur excepting Chester, who resides in Ridgeville. Indiana. An elegant family dinner was served and partaken of, afier. which the day wos spent in conversation of family ties and happenings. There are still a few “bleeders” left in Adams county; thd Australian system of voting, notwithstanding. Money is the object of the “bleeder”. His avocation is not put info practice only on stated occasions. This occas> ion is ripe just prior to primary election. It is then that his professional lance is brought forth for service. He seldomly fails in producing the red; when he does the patient is either “bloodless” or has been lanced sufficiently; in either case the patient dies, and the mourners —one in number—hies himself to other Helds for “succor.” Our comic Almanac for 1896 will contain the names and residences of all “bleeders” who carried their respective precincts as per agreement last election The many readers of the Democrat are invited to scan the trippie column advertisement of Peter Holthouse & Company, which appears -on another page of the Democrat this week. There are few, if any, people in Adams, county who have not-heard of “The One Price” clothing house of Peter Holthouse & Co., of Decatur. They are the oldest established firm in the in the city, and they have always enjoyed the respect of their many customers by square dealing and low prices. Their merchant tailoring department is - first-class; their gent’s furnishing department unequalled in the city; their, boy’s department replete; their furnishing department in shirts, necties, collars, cuffs, handkerchiefs, suspenders, hats, caps, etc., is of the latest mode and design.

In 1835 be removed to Starke county, Ohio, with bis wife and two children, where he lived until 1842, when be removed to Union township, ■'Adams county, this state, and settled upon the farm he owned until a short time ago. He came with wagon and two yoke of oxen, and cut his own road part of the way to Decatur. lie died Monday of last week, and was buried in the Hoagland cemetery; funeral services held at Union Chappel. A goodly number of the brethern and sisfers of the Mt. Tabor class made a friendly call on the afternoon of the 16th, at the M. E. parsonage at Rivare and after a very social and pleasant time departed, leaving many tokens of their love and esteem for' the pastor and his family by stocking the larder with the necessaries of life, sacks of Hour, meat, potatoes, groceries, eggs, butter, and canned fruits. Many thanks bretheren and sisters, and may the blessing of the Lord rest upon you. Mr. and Mrs. J. L,Foster. The Old Swing Gate Improved. Andrew Tarris of Marion.

Aurand Decatur, Ind., March 1,1894 Decatur Democrat:—Permit me to express my sincere appreciation of the complimentary suggestion, in last weeks paper, concerning the candidacy for Department President of the Indiana W. R. C. I must however, dis claim any thought of aspiring to such honors, knowing myself to be entirely unqualified for the position. * Mrs. M. L. Holloway. Daniel Donovan and John Henry Bremerkanip have formed a partnership in the grocery business in our city, Mr. Bretnerkatnp succeeds Peter J Coffbe. This firm are well known yen tiemen of our city (—the former as senior member of the firm since itscommencement ten years ago? and the latter, as a born and bred Decatur boy; having been successfully engaged in several businesses in the city for the past fifteen years, and at one time in the grocery departmeat with the J. Eiting & Co. JVith the extended acquaintance that these gentlemen have in’ Decatur and Adams county, we see no obstacle in the road to mar a successful future in their business. Their advertisement will be found in another page of the Democrat. The Observation ot Washington,s birthday by the city schools was very creditable indeed; this was especially true at the Central building,every room had a program; songs, declamations, dialogues, debates, etc. and a steady stream of callers enjoyed the entertainments. The rooms were beautifully decorated. The interest taken by the patrons in the school’s of Decatur is remarkable, it is easily accounted for, however, when we consider the efficiency of Prof./Moffett and hit' excellent corps of teachers; they put their full strength into the work. Within the past two years the school's have purchased an elegant library; a full outfit of physical apparatus will soon be putin. Within the past few mdntbs / the High school has been granted a commission. Decatur may well be proud of her schools, and should stand close behind the Board and instructors in their esI fort to improve the school’s.

MEETING Os The CongreHMlonal Committee. The most enthusiastic meeting ever held in the Eleventh Congressional district for the purpose of determining the time and place for holding a congressional convention was.held by the democrats in this city to day. John A. W. Kintz chairman of the congressional"committee presided at a meeting preliminary to the executive meeting of the committee. E. E. Cox of Hartford City Secretary. Three places were bidding fnr the convention, Decatur, Hartford City, and Wabash. The representation was large, especially from Decatur, and the claims enthusiasticallypressed from each place. The best of rijimor prevailed, and a number of speeches were made. "In addition to the congressional committeemen, the respective county committeemen had a say in determining the time and place. The following were the county committeemen: Grant, John T. Strange; Huntington. Roscoe Smith; Blackford, A. M. Waltz: Jay. W. A. Humphries: Adams, J. W. Bosse; Wabash, John B. Latchem; Miami. W. H. Zimmerman; Wells, W. A. Knuckle. In executive session the committee chose Decatur for ttfe place, and June 28, for the time of holding the convention. There were many leading democrats presentatthe preliminary meeting and the determinatio r to hold the district is unprecedented*-—Marion Daily Loader, Fel’y .. The basis of representation was fixed at one, for every one hundred votes cast for Claude Matthews for Governor in 1892.

The latest swindle out is that painters will call on the owners of barns or large buildings asking for the privilege of painting on the sides of the building a certain advertisement for patent medicines, for which they agreero pay a certain price per Square soots of the building tiseil for the ad. The owners sign a contract which l#ter on turns up in the shape of a /promissory note which is held by an/ ’innocent” bank cashier, and the payer is a sadder and wiser man.

■ Our Hotel. There seems not to be a just appre- * ciation on the part of some of our busi- | ness men and citizens of the fact that 1 Hotel Taft js the most magnificent hostelry in Eastern Indiana, and that it takes a mint of money to sustain a hotel of that kind on the elegant plan it is now run. Speak a good word for Hotel Taft on every occasion and don’t buy goods of the traveling man who does not stop there. We have seen some of the traveling men who have been coming here take a very cheap meal at some restaurant instead of stopping at our hotel as any first class traveling man would do. Teach them a lesson by y>t patronizing them unless they go to the Taft. This will bring them to time. Hotel Taft furnishings and all, cost upwards cf S2B 000.00 and to sustain a bouse of that kind in Dunkirk requires effort on the part of our citizens. It is a credit to our city and we should all feel under obligations to assist the present manager, Mr. Lynch, in every way possible. He is a first class hotel man. and a gentleman in every respect, and it is our duty to encourage him anrkspeak a good word at every opportunity.—Dunkirk, (Ind..) World. lii Memory of Will Bradley.
