A meeting of the stockholders of the Decatur Telephone Company was held at the office of R. S. Peterson last evening. While returning from Bluffton, Sunday evening. Miss Mayme Confer, who in company with a crowd of girls had driven over in the morning, fell from the rig and broke her left arm at the wrist. A young man employed on the farm of Adam Caesar, south of town, was badly injured yesterday by being struck on the leg by a corn cutting machine. Dr. D. D. Clark dressed the wound. Frank B. Robinson, of Richmond, who has lately taken charge of the large Robinson farm southwest of this city, was a caller yesterday and added his name to the long list of new recruits who are now reading the Democrat. The farm which is now in charge of Mr. Robinson is one of the best in the county. Melons of every description are more plentiful in this county than they have ever been. There are probably a dozen different farmers who are selling to the town trade and you can buy melons at your own price. Williard Steele probably has the largest truck patch in the county. Besides a number of wagons which comes to the city every day, he also has eight wagons which travel over country routes. The weather this year seems to have l>een peculiarly adopted to to the raising of this luscious fruit. Dr. Barton Olds, who removed from Marion to this city several weeks ago, has returned to his former stamping ground. The doctor was very favorably impressed by our enterprising and business-like people and would have liked to remained here, but as he could neither rent a suitable dwelling or office rooms lie decided to return to Marion for the present, at least. Dr. Olds is a very clever gentleman and we would have been pleased to have seen him become a permanent resident of Decatur. A child is born: the doctor in attendance gets $lO, the editor gets 0. It is christened and the minister gets $5 and the editor gets 00. When it marries the minister gets $lO and a piece of cake and the editor gets 000. In the course of time it dies, the doctor gets from s;> to SIOO, minister perhaps, gets another $5, and undertaker from $25 to 90. The editor prints a ndtice of death and obituary two columns long and gets 0000, besides lodge and society resolutions, a free card of thanks and a lot of poetry. No wonder the editor gets rich. A case of assault and battery, State vs. Chauncey Debolt, was began last Thursday morning before Mayor Beatty. ' Chauncey’s wife was the prosecuting witness and alleged that her husband bad handled her too roughly and had also had the audacity to use her Sunday bonnet for a foot ball. The trial began in the morning but was continued until the same afternoon in order that additional evidence might be secured in the shape of the injured “lid” which was ordered brought into court. At the appointed time Mrs. Debolt failed to appear and the case was dismissed. Agreeable to an order from the postmaster-general published in all the leading papers of the country. Postmaster Andrews of this city, has issued orders that children on their way to and from school positively can not receive mail. Parents will therefore save trouble and annoyance by instructing their children of this fact. The order has been issued on account of the frequent complaints of business men who are forced to wait quite often by a crowd of school children, who simply ask for mail to have something to do. It is said that children make a practice asking for mail dav after dav, who have never yet received a letter. The new order went I into effect last Monday and will no doubt meet the approval of our citizens. The county commissioners met in regular session Monday. The volume of business is somewhat large, this I being the regular quarterly session: H. H. Myeres filed petition to accept gravel road which was continued for inspection. The petition of James N. Fristoe for remitance of taxes was granted in the sum of $63.93. Applications to sell liquor were granted to Alonzo Runyon, C. W. Boknecht, John Braun Jr. and John R. Badders. The bond of Recorder-elect Gallogly was approved. Dr. D. D. Clark was appointed physician for the county asvlum and jail, and will receive sloo a year for the same. Remonstrance was filed on the L. H. Bailey ditch, R K. Erwin having entered his appearance for remonstrators. The proposition of Irvin Brandyberry to occupy the grand jury room as an office was accepted. A remonstrance was filed to the viewer s report on the X R. Bell ditch, and Henry Wafel, W D. Hoffman and William Hilgeman named as re viewers The new-1 ers report upon the Daniel Smith and L R Blossom ditch petitions, were approved and the same ordered constructed. William Hoile Andrew Appleman and John Schrank appointed viewers upon the J. J. Roth ditch petition.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 1899.

Rosenthal Bros, clothing store was closed Tuesday in honor of the Jewish New Year day, which began Monday evening at six o'clock and continued until the same hour Tuesday evening. Janies Waldron, until recently the popular day clerk at the Burt house, has resigned and left Tuesday for Toledo, where he has accepted a similar position in one of the leading hostelries. His place at the Burt is being looked after by John Kern, while the night work is being taken care of by Frank Kern. Jacob Wegmiller, of Geneva, was looking after business interests here Tuesday. He reports Geneva as sweltering under a heat so intense that hades is not in it. Jacob’s place of call still remains popular, owing to his own social qualities and the fact that it is managed in all things in strict accordance to law and order.

The Bluffton News of last Saturday contained the following: “There is to be a reunion of the Brunn family at Decatur tomorrow (Sunday) at the home of Mrs. Susan Taylor, an aunt of John Bruun, of this city. Mr. and Mrs. John Brunn, Charles Shaffer and family, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Brunn, Mr. and Mrs. Herb Brunn, Walter and Louis Brunn and Mrs. Inez Stoops from Bluffton will be in attendance. W. D. Huffman, one of Kirkland township’s prominent democrats, was in the city last Friday and as in consequence owns a paid in advance subscription to the Democrat and Sentinel. He left Tuesday for the national encampment at Philadelphia and from there will goto Schulkill county, Pennsylvania, where for three weeks he will visit his old parental home. It is his first visit there for thirtyfour years. A serious accident occurred at the home of Thomas Baltzell’s, west of the city, Monday. A young man by the name of Henschen. from Fort Wayne, who had been visiting with the Baltzell family, was manipulating a corn cutting machine. In some manner he lost his balance and fell in front of the knife, receiving a terrible cut on the arm. Nearly all the flesh of the forearm was scraped away and amputation may be necessary. The wound is a very painful one and will criple him for life, even if the arm is saved. He was removed to his home at Fort Wayne Tuesday. The forty-seventh annual conference of the United Brethren, Auglaize district, closed a most successful meeting at Fort Wayne Monday noon. The full list of nominations was read just before adjournment and met with general approval. Rev. J. W. Lower is Elder of the Fort Wayne district; Rev. J. Q. Kline is returned to his : charge in this city; Rev. E. Balduc i has charge of the Geneva church, and Rev. W. H. Shepherd,a former minis- | ter here, during the past year at Ossian, l is sent to Red Key. The usual resolutions were read, after which the conference adjourned with a benediction by Bishop Hott. During institute week Alliert Graber, son of Superintendent Graber of the county farm, lost a gold watch iu this citv. He sjient several days in search of it but was unable to ascertain the least trace of hisproperty and supposed it lost. On last Monday Frank Hoopengardner of Markle, came to the city and inquired of H. A. Fristoe if he had heard of any one ' loosing a watch during the past two i weeks. Mr. Fristoe had heard of ! Albert’s loss and so informed him. ! Albert was sent for and upon describing the watch, was given the same at | once. The watch was a valuable one I and Mr. Graber is delighted to have had it returned. Mr. Hoopengardner found the watch at the corner of First I and Madison streets, and this was his | first visit to the city since. Among the industries which are a great credit to Adams county and which assist to a large extent in making her one of the best in Indiana, are the stone quarries. In this city are several of these quarries, with which are connected crushers and which add materially to the income of the city, and which furnishes labor for many of our citizens. But the quarry business is not for Decatur alone, for the south part of the county can also boast of of this as one of their best industries. Blue Creek township has one of the best quarries in the state, which is just now being operated bv E. Woods & Co. to secure stone'for the macadamized road being built south of the city. One of the best quarrv fields, however, in this or any other county is at Linn Grove, where are located three mammoth quarries operated respectively by John Meshberger, Yoder & Son and Meshberger & Co. These quarries i are probably the oldest in this part of j the state, and for many years have as- ■ sisted in making the income to that thriving little city much larger than it would have otherwise been. From these quarries are excavated great quantities of building stone of an excellent quality and it is a common occurrence to see stone piled along the road near one of these quarries for a distance for two miles. The proprietors of the concerns are all hustling, energetic men, and their business is certainly a great credit to the county.

Kern. Brittson & Beeler expect to open their big store sometime within the next two weeks, but the exact date of which is at this time unknown. The carpenter work is almost completed and the placing of goods upon the shelves will soon begin. Henry Myers, Horace Porter, Peter Frank and Henry Voglewede came home Monday evening after a fishing trip lasting several days. They spent their time along the placid waters of the Maumee above Fort Wayne and succeeded in landing some very fine fish. Sunday was a big day for the section and flag men on the G. R. & I. between Richmond and Adams, which is Roadmaster’s Leavy’s division. The road gave Jim, as everybody calls him, a special train of four coaches and a baggage car Sunday morningand told him to gather up all his employees and their families between those two points and give them a day’s outing at Rome City. The order was carefully obeyed and over two hundred enjoyed a pleasant day’s outing, with plenty of boating, fishing, and music with lots to eat —all free.—Portland Sun. New circuit court cases as filed with the clerk of the Adams circuit court, are Clayton Williams vs Frank Kelley and Reuben Clark, note $175. Hester A. Blaney vs John P. Blaney, divorce and alimony SIOOO. Decatur Investment Co. vs Albert Buckey and Lafayette Rape, note. John H. Brandyberry vs Elizalieth Brandy berry, divorce. John S. Colchin vs Charles M.

Schirmeyer last Monday evening, seventy-five of the ninety shares of stock were represented, which shows an unusual interest in the company Iby its stockholders. A report of the | last year’s business was read by the | secretary, all of which made a glow- ■ ing statement of financial success. The | board of directors as elected are E. X. Ehinger, F. M. Schirmeyer, Jeff Bryson, J. T. Merryman and John D. Hale. Ehingerand Hale are the only’ new members of the board, taking the places of Henry Krick and J. W. Place, who, among others, declined re-nomi-nations, stating long service as a reason for such declination. The board of directors immediately met and organized by electing J. T. Merryman, president; 'j. D. Hale, vice-president; F. M. Schirmeyer, secretary; H. R. Moltz, treasurer, and Jeff Bryson, manager. The board is composed of good business men who will well perform the duties imposed. “Doe” Foster, the greatest street fakir, circus grafter and general “skinner” who ever traveled, has been here, fleeced our good citizens out of from forty to fifty dollars and left. He arrived about a week ago but skipped down to Portland, Geneva and Berne long enough to rake in a few dollars from the “suckers” of those “villages”. He struck town again Tuesday and about seven o’clock in the evening came down Second street in mi open cab with a glaring gasoline light attached to the side by means of a boy. He announced to the peoI pie that he would give a free advertising exhibition on the corner below and would positively give away fifty dollars worth of Star chewing tobacco. “He’s a liar”, at least that’s what some who transacted business with him told us, for after arriving at Court street. I where the distribution was to take ' place, he forgot there was such a commodity as tobacco and switched off onto corn salve, electric belts, etc. He worked the same old racket, first sprung in this city in 1843. He gave away a few boxes of axle grease corn salve, then sold some trinket for twen- ' ty-five cents and gave the money back. IHe then showed his audience what a living, breathing, walking advertiseI meut is. According to his translation lof that very significant term it is | where a man pays a dollar for a sawdust belt, worth absolutely nothing and who then says, “The feller who skinned us was durned smooth.” Well he gulled 'em, he secured about all the dollars in the crowd under the expectation that they were making a splendid speculative investment and then read to them a verse from the Bible which said, “He who expecteth nothing and reeeiveth nothing, shall I not be disappointed”, and he drove away. To those who purchased his electric goods he gave the name of Dr. Morgan, shaking hand with each of them, which may have been value re ceived for the money. His real name, however, is Foster and his home Chii cago, where he is a prominent politii cian during the winter, while in the summer he travels with a sideshow or “fake” of some kind. He is the worst iu the business and our advice to our readers is that the less money you invest with him, the richer you will be. We can’t help saying, however, that he is about the nerviest “guy” who ever opened his grips before a Court street audience.

John H. Brandybery vs Elizabeth Brandyberry is the title of a divorce suit filed by L. C. DeVoss. According to the complaint they were married August 6, 1894, and lived and cohabited together as husband and wife until in January 1897. The plaintiff alleges incompatability and abuse and prays the court to grant a decree of divorce. The foot ball season has opened in full blast and the Decatur club with bright new uniforms are putting in their hardest licks at practic. A game with the Van Wert team has been arranged for next Tuesday. Dick France is coaching our boys and they are confident of a victory at their first battle on a 1899 gridiron. Much interest is being manifested and a large crowd will no doubt attend the game. Last Friday’s Toledo Bee spoke of a Decatur visitor to that city as follows: Mr. J. D. Hale, a prosperous grain, seed and wool merchant of Decatur, Adams county, Ind., was on ’Change today. He was accompanied by his son-in-law Mr. H. T. Gregg. Mr. Hale says there will be a reeordbreaking crop of corn in Adams county. The crop of late potatoes will be good. A good many hogs will be shipped on account of the fine crop of corn. A large number of cattle are raised in the county, and prices are high. Decatur has natural gas. The electric light plant and waterworks are owned by the city, which has about 5,000 inhabitants. There are two manufacturing establishments employing 150 men. It has become a practice with a number of country boys who own horses to try their speed when they come to town and especially when driving over the paved streets. There is great danger in such practice as was demonstrated last Saturday evening on Winchester street. Two young men, named respectfully Everett and Lord, were out driving and indulged in a race with some other parties who happened to be passing. They drove south on Second street at a terrible gait and when at the corner of Mercer and Winchester streets their horse became entirely unmanageable and dashed into the yard at L. G. Ellingham’s home, running almost up to the porch before the animal could be stopped. It was by the merest chance that nobody was hurt for had any body been passing along the street, or have been in the yard, they could have scarcely escaped being injured. Affidavits for the arrest of the men were sworn out. Lord has been arrested and will be tried Saturday afternoon at one o’clock. Everett who is said to be very fond of fast driving has not yet been found, but will probably be taken in tow soon. This should serve as a lesson to many who indulge in such sport, as the city officers will hereafter keep a sharp lookout for racers. Mayor Beatty called the council to order in regular session Tuesday even ing. Suttles, Miller, Niblick and Mann were present and Haefling ami Chronister absent. The minutes of previous meetings were read and upon motion approved. The chairman of the finance committee then presented a number of claims which were taken up and regularly disposed of. Several were dismissed and a number continued. Those allowed were as follows: Mike Englehart $15.04, L. W. Frank and Ellen Robison $42.(10, G. R. & I. railway, freight. $1.20. Citizens Telephone Co. $0.50, Robert Brown $21.75, Advance Packing Co. 21.38, Fort Wayne Electric Works $42.23, Electric Appliance Co. $24.17. Noah Mangold, county auditor $4.90. Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City Railroad SO.BO. G. R. A I. Railway Co. $2.60. The Moitor Oil Co. .$17.22. Bass Foundry Machine Works $0.55, National Carbon Co. $47.75, Wm. Geary $5, Joe Mallonee $1.60. Burt Stationery Book Co. $6, J. K. Mann, street commissioners pay roll, $64.40, H. B. KnofT. pay roll, $4.35. Augustus Schlegel $7.10. A. E. Huffman $5.75, M. A. Jackson SSO. Thomas Haefling S3O, George Kinzle $45, M. J. Mylott SSO, C. N. Dorwin S4O, H. B. Knoff $37.50. Councilman Niblick then moved that the electric light committee be authorized to contract with the board of county commissioners to furnish light for the court house. The motion was carried and the committee so instructed. The petition of Peter Center et al for street improvements on Nuttmau avenue was referred to the board of public improvements. The petition of Mrs. Gunsett to lower the estimate against her property on account of the building of the Thirteenth street sewer was referred to the judiciary committee. A petition of the fire department asking that the rules of the department be published was presented and upon motion it was decided to have same printed. The clerk was ordered to have the copies printed and to contract for same for five dollars. The veto of the city mayor of the ordinance prohibiting the playing of ball within the city limits was read to the members of the council, but no action was taken thereon. Niblick moved that three fire masks be purchased for the use of the company. This concluded the business to come before the meeting and upon motion council adjourned.

CIRCULATION 2500 WEEKLY

NUMBER 26

Last Tuesday was the beginning of the Jewish new year and was celebrated as such all over the country. The first of the holy days is Rosh Hoshona. head of the year; so-called because it stands at the head of the religious year, not however, of the civil, which is celebrated bv the Jews as by all others who adopt the Georgian calender for ordinary purposes, on the first of January, and is regarded as the beginning of a new year in the life of each individual. It is the day of universal rejoicing and mutual well-wishing felicitations and words of kindness being interchanged not only among members of the family, relatives and dear ones, but also among friends, neighbors and acquaintances. On written card or by spoken word the old time greeting is expressed, “Leshanah tovah tekkosey”, “May you be written for a good year”, or. as we would say in our language, “A Happy New Vear."
