You can not afford to : linger any longer upon the curbing of doubt and debate a subject that has so many illustrations as to its 1 merits. Now is the appointed time. The council, at a meeting Tueeday evening, did not unanimously agree upon a curfew ordinance, and the same tailed in passage. We understand, however, that a few provisions contained therein were unsatisfactory and when they are removed Decatur win send her young America to bed eariv. The question is, do you advertise? If not, why not? It is the only legitimate means of placing your buxine** before the buying public and will bring you rich returns upon the money invested. It is the game as buying gold dollars for ninety cent*. Try a contract and weigh the matter carefully and in detail. K. K. Erwim ha* been selected as one of the orators at the Fort Wayne free silver jubillee which takes place on Washington’s birthday, ■February 22. Taking into consideration that William J. Bryan and George Fred Williams have been accorded invitations to address the multitude, the honor to Dick is not a light one.

Mavor Tawgart refuaed to *ign an ordinance pawned by the council of Indianapoli*, known a* the “boxing and sparring” ordinance. It permitted ten round boxing contest*, wherein a finish fight might take place and still be a sparring for point* match. Mayor Taggart was wiae in hi* conclusion* and (should be commended.

Be -anse they can is no rea*oa w -.y our right* »hoald be -mothered. We ask but little. It is now Eo* - .ma»’er Andrews without any doubt. The office wa* tamed ove- in it* eotirety to the new po* - .m**ter ye*’erday morning, since wnich time mail was being handed out by the new administration. Po*tnsa*ter Andrew* is young, active and ha* every qualification for the promotion ot a prompt and rel.able postai service. The retiring postmaster, Mr. Welfley, has done efficient service and leaves many fnend* among the public who were daily patron* of tbi* office. May success crown the efforts of both the incoming and outgoing.

The Alien county democratic centra’ committee bad a meeting at, Fort Wayne laet Saturday. The following resolution was panned: Wberea*. The time and place tor holding the joint senatorial convention with Adam* county are to be fixed at a conference cf tbe county chairmen of the respective counties. Be it Resolved, That that Chairman Kaongh be fully empowered to use bin discretion tn conferring with «a d chairman and authorized to call election of delegates to said convention and apportion delegates therein according to votes cast for John B. Stoll in 1896. The financial condition of Adam* county seems to be first-class As evidence that it is we can bat cite the delinquent tax sale, which took place at the east door of the court house Monday. But fourteen sale* are recorded, and tbe number about equals the delinquent sales of the past several year*. No better recommendation of the excellent financial condition of the county is needed. It lignifies that every farmer, land and lot owner has received sufficient rental* to pay taxes and st the same time live in an economical but comfortable manner. It also signifies that a prosperous and contented people reside and make up the inhabitant* of our county. It means much to our credit and standing in tbe financial world, and one’s credit is of more value than any reasonable amount of glittering gold. We dare say that no other county in Indiana can boast of so few deiinquentists. We are proud of the fact and every ininterested citizen should feel likewise. Adams county is the garden spot of buxines* activity, progression and prosperity.

Our city was simply de’.nged with ’’Weary Waggles' and “Dusty Roads' and a 1 the other trampe in the country !a»t Sunday. It is reported that at least twentyfive were encamped near the Chi m» & Ene railway bridge Whm we awaken some morning and hear ot a terrible outrage, probably murder, being committed by some of these vagtbonds as has been tbe case at Portland this week, we will begin to thing of some wav to get rid of them. So long a- we harbor them in our midst and feed them from the badc door, we are inviting them to remain here at our own risk. Let’s lock the door before the horse is stolen.

“Uiwrriwned Kings.’’ by W. T. Sherman Culp, was listened to by a large and appreciative audience la*t Thursday evening. Tbe lecture, was very instructive and abounded in practical ideas. So attentive was tbe audience that any time during the lecture one eould have beard a pin drop, except when his bursts of wit and hnmor roused the house to peal* of laughter, onlv to be silenced again by bis pathoe. which could reach the hardest natures. His thoughts were presented in sticn a very impressive manner that thev could hut impart a new inspiration to life—National Democrat, Cassopolis, Mich. The Decatur Democrat stand at tbe bead in tbe way of enterprise. Last week tbe democrats of Adams , county held their county nomina- ■ tion and Bro. Ellingham makes a 1 regular art gallery of the Democrat I by producing handsome cuts of the various candidates, giving a history of each as well. Judging from the advertising patronage and the circulation of the Democrat, we are led to conclude that tbe democrats of Adams county give their heartysupport and by so doing the pub- ! lisher is enabled to give them one of the best newspapers in the dis trict. We wish the Democrat a , continuation of the liberal patroni age and hope it will continue to prosper.—Winchester Democrat.

There are not many organisations as strong as the one that supports that funny comedian Joe Ott tn “The Star Gater,” on Wednesday next, Feb. 23. This clever company of laugh producers will be at the opera house for one night. It would be an impossibility to describe this play, to the winds with the plot. The theatre going people are looking for amusement. They want acting, no matter if it is burlesque acting, singing, dancing, light entertainment that is what they want, and that is what Jee Ott is going to give them. “The Star Gazer” is one laugh trom start to finish. There is not a dull moment througbout the entertainmentThere is always a laugh on the way. Mr. Ott and his company have laughs to give away. So if you do not want to laugh, stay away.
