Dr. Frank Crane, the famous Chicago journalist and lecturer, is the next attraction in the Decatur Business Men’s Course. He will appear here Thursday evening, February 22, and is considered one of the ' strongest events of the year. His subject will be "What Will You Do With It?” and from all reports he will do ample justice to “it.” The city council intend building a salt glazed tile sewer which will be known as the Trout sewer, running from Oak street south to the alley between Mercer and Cleveland streets. The improvement is a public necessity for the health and welfare of our people. The ordinance to this effect was passed at a meeting of the council Tuesday evening. The collision of an engine with the rear end of another section of the same train at Markle Tuesday afternoon caused the third wreck which has occurred at that place since the year 1900 has been ushered in. This smash up, however, was not as serious as the previous two, only two cars and an engine being damaged. It seems time for the Erie to be looking things up along that part of the line. We beg to acknowledge the receipt of subscription money from the following reacers who dropped the necessary price in ourcashdrawer this week: George Smitley, B. F. Breiner, P. P. Springer, A. A.

Schiemann and William Libby. A night of amusement, fun, entertainment and good-fellowship is the bill for the Red Men’s order of this city to occur at their hall tonight. Squaws, as well as Indians, are invited and preparations for a general pow |wow have been made, and we doubt not that several hours of fun and knowledge will be had. Among the other events of the program will be an half hour lecture by James Gerard upon the subject, "The True American.” Mrs. John Stoneburner left the cab with a little babe occupying same standing in front of the Monroe street music store yesterday afternoon while she ran in to speak to John. A few minutes afterward she looked out on the sidewalk and beheld the cab rolling towards the curbing. She gave a scream and started after it but was too late. The buggy rolled into the street and overturned, throwing the child out in the mud. Luckily the child was not hurt but it is safe to say that Mrs. Stoneburner will hereafter refuse to hitch that cab anywhere. There seems to be an impression out that those who asked for exemption under the S7OO mortgage law last year will be credited with exemptions this year without making another application. This is erroneous as the fact that exemption was granted last year will have no bearing on the questions this year, those desiring to make out exemption being required to file their claims with the county auditor just as they did last year. It is likely that the total of these exemptions’ will be much larger thi« year than last, as many people did not come to an understanding of the law until it was too late to take advantage of it. If the process of painless vaccination proves to be as successful as its discoverers claim, it will remove one of the cheif objections to being vaccinated, and will doubtless be the means of overcoming much of the present opposition to vaccination. Heretofore many people have had almost as much fear of the effects of vaccination as of small pox itself. This was due to one of two things, the use o 4 impure virus or the impure condition of the blood of the person vaccinated. Tears ago vaccine virus was procured in a reckless manner and inexperienced men engaged in the business of vaccinating his neighbors. Men who knew absolutely nothing about the work were permitted to perform it, and the wonder is that more arms did not rot away. In earlv davs, though, the bigger the scab and the sorer the arm became, the more effective it was believed to be and the conclusion was that “it took well.

i “Agnes Wallace Villa will appear i here,” says the Cincinnati Enquirer, “business was only limited to the capacity of the house last night on the occasion of the opening of a twoweeks engagement of Agnes Wallace \ ilia. No actress has a more varied career than she, as her strong hold on our theatre-goers proved last night. The plav was heartily enjoyed by the assemblage and the specialties. Here is a neat trick. Look out for . the man who plays it. He claims to be an agent for a large clothing house in Chicago, and carries some fine samples of goods for men’s suits which he claims to sell for $lO and are worth about S4O. He takes a , man’s measure, who pays $2 down as evidence of good faith. He represents that the goods are to be delivered in a week, when the remainder is to be paid. The smart agent pockets the forfeit and that is the last heard of either the agent, $2 or the suit of clothes. Notice —We, the undersigned, do hereby agree to refund the money on two 25 cent bottles or boxes of Baxter’s Mandrake Bitters, if it fails to cure constipation, billiousness, sick-head-ache, jaundice, loss of appetite, sour stomach, dyspepsia, liver complaint, or any of the diseases for which it is recommended. It is highly recommended as a tonic and blood purifier. Sold liquid in bottle, and tablets in boxes. Price 25 cents for either. One package of either guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. Page Blackburn. ts Providence opera house. Agnes Wallace Villa is so well known in every city where there is an opera house that she stands in need of very little mention. Her impersonation of Madge Carlton in “The World Against Her” is an artistic instance of ability. She will be be seen at the Providence opera house this week. The title of the play indicates the style in which it is written. It tells the story of a faithful wife to whom the whole universe for a time seems a vision of misery and hopelessness, but whose vicissitudes are finally cleared away and long postponed happiness and joy allowed to enter her life. This play will be seen at Bosse's opera house, Saturday, Feb. 10, 1900. If you ever knew Will Hurst, a young man of this city, and should meet him now you would certainly fail to recognize the gentleman on account of a face so patched up with court plaster that you can scarcely see a resemblence of his former self. Will was skating on the river Friday afternoon and was trying his speed along a smooth patch of thin ice just back of J. W. Place’s ice houses, when one of his skates caught and he endeavored to use his face as a plow for about ten feet. His face was feafully lacerated and he received several dangerous cuts about the eyes. Comrades were frightened but Will seemed the coolest one of all and walked through town with blood streaming from his face to the office of Dr. J. M. Miller who dressed the wounds and he is getting along nicely, although his appearance does , not show it. Charles Drapier, who is assisting in excavating the opening for Schafer, Son A: Loch's new building, came near loosing a valuable team yesterday afternoon. He was engaged in hauling dirt from the excavation to the river bank just back of Kirsch & Sellemeyer's lumber yard. About four o’clock he drove along the bank endeavoring to get to the proper place before dumping, - but got too near the edge. The wagon slipped off the bank and overturned. This drew the horses along and all were precipitated into the river, going down the embankment a distance of thirty feet. The horses and wagon turned entirely over twice before they reached the bottom, and were so frightened that the owner who rushed after the team managed them with difficulty. Charles, however, still believes he is lucky, neither horses, wagon nor harness were injured in the least, and aside from a heavy coat of mud looked as well as though they have never made a trip down the “toboggan slide.” Mrs. Emma Van Camp, wife of Anson Van Camp. he well known busness man of this city, died at her home on First street at 4:35 Tuesday morning. She had been sick about three I weeks, and during the last week was i continuously in a precarious condition, suffering intense pain at times, yet bearing all with a fortitude rarely seen. She was a kind, Christian lady, whose good deeds are many and who will be sadly missed by many loving I friends. Emma Elzey Van Camp was i torn in Brown county. Ohio, April 12, 1660. and died at Decatur February 6, 1900, aged thirty-nine years, nine months and twenty-four days. When five years of age she removed with her parents to this city. She remained here until a young lady when she went to Bluffton, residing there several years. While there she met Mr. Anson Van Camp to whom she was united in marriage, November 31, ISSO. To them were born four sons and two daughters, all of whom are still living excepting one. Eleven years ago Mrs. Van Camp united with theEvangelieal church of thiscity,since which time she has been a constant and untiring worker, ever willing to do that which would benefit or assist others. Besides the husband and children who now mourn her loss, there are a host of other relatives and friends. The funeral services will be held from the Evangelical church at ten o’clock this morning, conducted by Rev. W. H. Mygrant. The body will lie in state at the home from eight to ten. The death is a sad one and the sorrowing friends have the sympathy_of all.

An Editor’s Life Saved by Chamberlains Cough Remedy. During the early part of October, 1896, I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs, and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient stage. I was constantly coughing and trying to expel something which I could not. I became alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state. R. S. Edwards, Publisher of The Review, Wyant, 111. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. f Agnes Wallace Villa and a magnificent company. Each artist selected for their individual fitness for the parts they partray, in an elaborate production of the great London and New York success, "The World Against Her,” by Frank Harvey, Esq. A dramatic story more thrilling in its narration and more beautiful in its absorbing and romatic illustrations than has ever before been offered to an American public. The production in New York was such a rare dramatic event that the papers devoted over a column of space to the synopsis of the play and a dissertation upon its merits. The drama was pronounced perfect in plot and portrayal. Bosses opera house, Feb 10. There is no totter medicine for the babies than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and efficient cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address. F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, O.

That said receipt for $68.37 was by mistake signed by John Steele, trustee of Washington township, Adams county, Indiana, in the name of Conrad Gillig. The settlement of said $68.37 was made in the settlement of John Steele with the commissioners of Adams county at a regular session, where the disposal of said matter can to found as a matter of record. All money was used in the improvement of roads in said district and not one cent thereof was squandered, all of which can to seen by examining the records thereof made by the trustee and by his settlement with the said commissioners of Adams county. Respectfully, John Steele, Conrad Gillig. I. M.
