She Js twenty-five years of age and a )„Jv of excellent qualities. huneral prices were held from the St. Paul fhureh .Monday afternoon. F B. Robinson, manager of the Robinson farm in French township, was in the city Tuesday looking after I business interests. Amongot her things 1-i()0 pounds of flour was taken to the farm which will keep life above high water mark for only the next four i mouths. Since the management of i Mr. Robinson began the improvements thereabouts have been many. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Tyndall entertained at dinner last Friday noon in honor of Mrs. Frank Svveringer. of Fort Wayne. The guests included Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Smith. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Heller, Mrs. D. M. Hensley. Misses Dora Peterson and Rose Christen. The meal was a sumptous one and enjoyed by all, as was the after dinner hour which followed. A casket containing the body of Charles Skinner was transferred from the Chicago A Erie to the Clover Leaf railway Monday, and sent to Mier. Grant county, Indiana. Skinner was a member of Company H, Fourth Infantry, U. S. A., and died at Manilla, October 24th, 1899. The body left port for Grant county January 11th, having been nine weeks en route. The young man was well known in Grant county, where his parents reside and where the funeral services will beheld today. I W. H. Niblick and John Tyndall left yesterday morning for a trip to Jackson and other Michigan cities, where they go to make a thorough investigation of the Portland cement factory soon to lie built in that section of the country. They were accompanied by Mr. Jack Shenneman, who represents the organizing company and who has been here several days presenting the scheme to Decatur investors. The industry is a good one, and Mr. Shenneman says he will be able to show the visitors conclusively that they hare just what they claim. Should he be successful, a number of pe pie here will probably buy stock. The records of the circuit court this ■ "eek among the new cases show one ■ entitled Christian Lobsiger, ex parte. ■ The suit is one wherein Mr. Lobsiger, ■ a German asks to be made an Amer ■ lean. He has lived in the United ■ States nearly a quarter of a century. ■ but has never taken the necessary ■ steps to became a citizen until now. ■ Mr. Lobsiger says his reason for tak- ■ u.guut papers a’t this time is that he ■expects to visit his mother country ■Kdu and wishes to be known as an ■American and a ‘’hoosier.” He says ■!' may also save him some inconven■i”ur.> as he has never served his term ■in the army of that country, which is ■'cry necessary and should they dis■f'j'er his presence he might be placed ■' ! ;mi uncomfortable position, but the ■ 8. papers and seal make him safe.

Frank Voigt, of Kansas City, with an assistant, was furnishing music during the supper hour at the Burt house last evening. St. Patrick,s day last Saturday was the coldest seen hero in twenty-five; years, the thermometer registering five below zero at five o’clock in the morning. Mrs. Lydia Smith of the Big Store, received a telegram message Tuesday morning stating that her father, Aaron Tullis, who resides at Mercer, Ohio, was dangerously sick and not expected to live. She left for her home immediately. The survey for the Oil Belt Traction Company.’an electric road running from Huntington to Portland, will soon be made. Bonds covering the amount necessary for its construction have already been arranged for, and the assurances are given out that the road will be equipped with the best that is on the market. The road runs from Huntington to Warren, Bluffton, Pennville to Portland. The greatest newspaper offer ever made in Adams county -the Democrat and State Sentinel one year for one dollar, still draws new subscribers. Among the list who have assisted us financially this week are: Lewis Kline, John Stegmeyer, Jonathan Merryman, Ernst Doehrmann, A. Van Camp. Wm. A. Duer, Ferdinand Blakey, Mrs. M. E. Breckinridge, August Cristman, Ed Heintzelman and Charles Ewell Jr. Still another divorce proceeding graces the docket this week, being entitled Eva Wells vs William Wells. The complaint shows they were married November 22, 1898, and resided together as husband and wife one month, when the husband abandoned his home and has since that time refused tocohabitate with Mrs. Wells. The plaintiff also requests the court to restore to her the maiden name, Eva Robards. Attorney Ed Coffee appeared for the plaintiff. Work will lie begun immediately on a new line of railroad to connect Chicago and Toledo, Ohio. The new road will be built by the Wabash, and the through line will be formed by the construction of a sixty-five mile extension from Montpelier, Ohio, to Toledo, this to be in connection with the company’s present road from Chicago to Montpelier.* It will cost, it is estimated, 53,000,000. for which bonds, underwritten by George J. Gould, the controlling spirit in the Wabash company, have beep issued. When finished the new route between the two cities will be the shortest by four miles. Huntington Herald. Dick Townsend is at home again, after making his fifth successive trip to the Dahlonega gold fields of Georgia. During the past week he has been instrumental in disposingof 250. 000 shares of stock and Dick is more elated than ever over the outlook, believing that the future will prove their mines the greatest gold producers the world has ever known. He carries with him several pieces of the ore, which show it to be the real stuff and all who have investigated sav that it is there in large quantities. Statistics show that already a large amount of gold has been taken from the state of Georgia and it is claimed the first ever found in the L nited States came from the county where the Dahlonega mines are now located. Mr. Townsend will leave with another party of capitalists next Saturday. For several days past the citizens of Geneva have been trying to solve a mystery which seems to be hanging about and even now. after the elapse of a whole week, there are several versions of the affair. Charlesßeicheldeffer, a dairyman and stock dealer, who resides just cutside the west Geneva limits, disappeared last Tiiurs dav. He was last seen at Fields A Co.’s store, about eight o’clock in the evening, leaving there in company with a Kansas horse buyer. For a while nothing was thought of his abscence but as the night wore away the family became frightened and by morning everyone knew that Reicheldeffer had disappeared. Telephone messages were sent to surrounding towns for the people to watch for him, and it was finally ascertained that he had arrived at Monroe at midnight, with a bad gash just over the right eye. He claimed to have fallen from a train at Berne and was taken to a physician, who bandaged the wound and found him a place to stay during the night. The following morning he paid bis bills and left for Decatur, arriving here about noon. He called at the law office of Erwin & Erwin and consulted them concerning some business and afterwards went to Martin s restaurant, where he took dinner. He left here about one o'clock, returning to Monroe, where friends met him and took him home. There aie several stories afloat as to the cause of his strange actions and it is claim ed that be now admits that the ent over his eve was not received by tailing from a train, but that some one struck him. He either cannot remember who assaulted him or else prefers to keep silent for reasons ot his own. The first suppositions were that he had either lieen assaulted or had suddenly become demented, but both theories are denied by knowing ones.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1900.

John C. Knopt, advance agent for the Hi Henry’s Minstrel Company, was in the city yesterday, arranging with Manager Bosse for a date at the opera house. Chas Yobst, the plumber, has accepted a position at Gas City, and expects to remain there during the summer. He spent Sunday with his family in this city. The republicans of Saint Marys township at their primary election last Thursday selected the following candidates: For trustee, William H. Teeple; assessor. Daniel B. Roop; advisory board, Phillip Koos, Joseph L. Chronister and Andrew J. Teeple; supervisor, first district, Millard Weimer: second district, Almon Shaffer: third district. E. Roebuck; fourth district. George Strickler. The Gregory Oil company now have leases on something like 3,000 acres of land in St. Marys, Blue Creek and Monroe townships and are still leasing. As soon as the weather setlies they will begin the drilling of a test well, putting down enough to give the territory a thorough test. They have excellent prospects for a rich find in oil, which if it so proves, will be the means of opening the field outside Blue Creek township. As a result of a gas explosion in the hotel at Warren the gas company has shut off all the gas pumps in the town and the question of water works is again freely discussed. A number of the business men now propose organizing a stock company and putting in a water works system for the main part of the town and an electric light system for the entire town. They do not w ish to put in any more temporary water systems and the move may result in our thriving neighbor securing these two necessities. Arrangements are being made by the Bluffton company of the IGOth I. V. I. for a reunion of the regiment at that place about the first of September. A meeting was called one night last week and many members of the Bluffton company were present. Lieutenant F. J. Tangeman was elected permanent chairman and H. L. Wisner secretary. The boys are securing the names of all those in the 160th, and an effort will be made to have a full attendance. The regimental reunion will be held at the same time of the Wells county reunion, and the people of Bluffton will assist in making it all the more pleasant for the boys. The winter just drawing to a close has been a sourse of wonder, astonisnment and profanity. It has knocked the socks off of every weather prophet who has pretended to make any predictions concerning it and has set at naught signs and auguries that have stood the test of ages. We have been yanked back between hades and the north pole until we are sick at heart and out of breath. One minute we have been chasing flies and the next minute we have been chasing the gas man. One day we bloomed forth in low-necked shoes and a straw hat. the next wo appeared in a horse blanket, and a buffalo robe. People have worried themselves into the hospitals and insane asylums, trying to keep tab on kaleidoscopic changes, while many an old man has scratched bald spots on his head, trying to think of a winter that paralelled it. ■The regular session of the cit_, council was held at the city hall Tuesday evening and the regular routine of business disposed of. The roll call showed Suttles. Haefling, Chronister, Niblick. Miller and Mann present and none absent. The minutes of the meeting held March 6, were read and approved after which the following bills were presented by the presiding officer and upon motion each duly allowed: National Carbon Co., supplies, 812.50; Globe Oil Co., supplies, $20.01; Chas. H. Moon, oil, $20.40; Interna tional Boiler Co., supplies, $31.20; German Hocking Coal Co., coal $21.30; F. Bissell, lamps, $13.09; Standard Oil Co., oil. $11.73; Harry Daniel, printing. $2.25; F. Bissell, supplies, >1.87: Bradford Belting Co., labor. Clover Leaf Ry. Co., freight, $1.90; G. R. & L Ry. Co., freight, sl.lß. .1. S. Bowers, stone, $284.85: J. W. Archbold.express,sl.so; Joe Mallonee. dravage, 60c; Geo. Phillip, labor. $29.15;'H. B. Knoff, pay roll, $16.30; Shelby Henderson, police duty. $7.50. A resolution was presented by Mr. Niblick in regards to the salaries of the city officers and asking that they be allowed for the quarter ending March 31. Resolution was carried unanimously. Haefling moved that the waterworks committee be authorized to enter into a new contract with Rose & Bell for the taping of the water mains. Motion was carried and | a contract signed with said parties for ■ three years. Niblick moved that the j matter concerning the stoppage in ’ tl.e Holthouse sewer be referred to the I street committee, which was carried and so ordered. Mr. Suttles moved I the adoption of the plans and speeffiI cations of the Trout sewer, motion 'carried. Bids were opened for the I construction of the Trout sewer. E. X. Huffman being the only bidder ; was awarded the contract but it was lafterwards discovered that the conI tract had been advertised under the ; wrong ordinance and it will be neces- ’ sary to re-advertise and re-let same.

The revival services at the Methodist church have been carried on with an earnestness which could not fail to bring success. The church enrollment has been largely increased and the number of conversions has been a large one. The reunion of half a hundred children and grand children was held Sunday at the home of Grandmother Elzey in the west part of the city, in honor of the arrival of that estimable lady’s eighty-fourth birthday. The affair was a surprise and the day was spent in a joyous manner including an elegant dinner. “J. N.” the Philosopher, has been engaged during the past week in an attempt to tear the veil from the wicked city of Elwood, but the mysterious force is too' strong and repeated efforts and lectures have proven futile. Last week’s Free Press contain ed an article which will be troublesome should it fall into the halids of “J. N.” for that gentleman will demand an explanation for such a tearing down of his power. We know whereof we speak. The following is a list of new cases filed with the clerk of the court this week: Slate ex rel Noah Mangold, auditor, vs Samuel H. Shafer ami Rachael Shafer, foreclosure of school fund mortgage, demand SI4OO. Christian W. Hocker vs Joseph E. Deutuer. complaint on note, demand S2OO and foreclosure of mortgage. The Old Adams County Bank vs Frank M. Berger et al., note, demand $350. William Gilbert vs the Chicago & Erie R’y Co., damages SIO,OOO. Eva Welks vs William Wells, divorce. Christian Lobsiger ex parte, naturalization. Our townsmen, B. J. Terveer, has received a card from his old friend, Herman Weicking, of Bluffton, now touring the eastern hemisphere. The card is dated at Alexandria, Egypt, and says he will leave there shortly for Joppa, in the Holy Lands. He has had a delightful voyage and so expresses himself. Mr. Terveer will leave within a few weeks for a several months visit in his old home in Germany, from where he will go to Paris to take in the Worlds Fair Exposition. The trip is to be an enjoyable one and the sights well worth seeing. He has not seen his home for many years and it is little wonder that Barney looks forward to the time of his departure with some anxiety. Hugh Dorion, an Irish character who has been a familiar figure about the city for many years has been adjudged insane, and will be sent to the Eastern Insane asylum as soon as an , entrance certificate can be secured. He' spent the winter at Avilla, and arrived here on foot about two weeks ago. He acted strangely and was finally placed in jail for safe keeping. A board of physicians and justices composed of Drs. D. D. Clark. C. S. Clark, ’Squire Ed Coffee' and ’Squire E. G. Coverdale was called and met at the clerk’s office Saturday to pass upon the question of sanity. After a brief trial a verdict of insanity was returned with a recommendation that he be sent to Richmond for treatment. He is perfectly harmless, but shows plainly the fact that his reason is deranged. He has been an inmate of i the county infirmary several times. Through the kindness of John Wo’1 ford, of Monmouth, we are priveleged I this week to publish the following acI count of the battle of Calambra, in i which Walter Hoskinson was killed, i The account is taken from a Manilla ■ paper sent by Roy Wolford and reads: “Serat-t-t” An insurgent volley i tore the stillness and puffs of black smoke revealed the position of the enemy. There was a lapse of a second; just long enough for Summer-all's men to limber and aim. “Bang” and with that long, deadly “whishwhish” a shell from the big gun sought out the rebel lair and burst witli an awful roar. A volley of Krags chimed in and the Hotchkiss took up the refrain. The first engage- [ ment of the morning was on and while i Bullard’s and Taylor’s men quietly ! and perseveringly pushed on their ways, Major Larghorne and Lieuten- ’ ant Summerall kept the undivided attention of the enemy. The insurgents I kept up a fierce fire and succeeded in killing Private Hoskinson of the 39th, and wounding Captain Hiram C. Baker of Company E in the ear and Lieutenant Robert N. Petite in the legs. Thev paid dearly for their small success’ in this instance, though, for many a Kragg bullet found its way into the system of Remington wielders. One rebel came into full view on the summit of a hill. Summerall drew a bead on him with his three inch pet. There was a boom, distant explosion and a cloud of dust. The defiant Filipino was blown to smithereens. On the top of a hill, midway between Langhorne and Colonel Bullard, the rebels actually got a smooth bore cannon into action and attempted to obliterate the horde below. Their shots fell as harmless as peas on the landscape. This cannon was mysteriously whisked off the hilltop, but a searching party the next day discovered the bloated remains of one of the gunners. In a few minutes the insurgents were driven from their hillside po- ! sition. They retreated pell mell into I some trenches a mile back.

A number of Masons from this city will go to Fort Wayne April 10th and 11th to attend the semi-annual convocation. Several new candidates will also be there to get a farther glimpse into the ancient order and to see how the goat acts when advanced to the work necessary in the fourteenth and sixteenth degrees. The following week several Decaturites will go to Indianapolis to receive the thirty-second degree work. A duck that had laid several dozen eggs during the season complained that while her working record was better than the hens, the latter had books and poems written in her honor, while no one ever had a word of praise for the duck. A wise old rooster near by said: “Yon lay an egg and waddle off without saying a word, while that sister of mine never lays one without letting everyone in the neighborhood know it. If you want to cut any ice around here you must advertise.” The meeting of the North Indiana Conference of the Methodist church will convene at Elkhart one week from next Wednesday with Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of Philadelphia, presiding. As stated before, this conference is to lie one of the most important ones ever held, and the Elkhart people are arranging to accomodate one thousand visitors during the most of the week. Rev. Major, of Kendallville, will deliver the opening sermon and the first business session will be held Friday morning. The Methodist church of this city have selected John H. Lenhart as a delegate to the conference. James Brunnegraff figured conspicuously in a runaway last Friday morning. He was driving a team of ponies, which became frightened while going north on Third street, they were going at a high rate when they reached Monroe street and in turning west, overturned the buggy throwing Mr. Brunnegraff out, just in front of E. Fritzinger’s lumber office. He struck upon his head and proceeded to rake up all the stone and pebbles along the macadamized road. An ugly looking gash was cut along the right side of his face, and for a while it was feared he was badly hurt. He was taken home and a physician called who attended him. and he is getting along nicely, being able to be about some. The fact that the Chicago & Erie railway system is after the Clover Leaf is still very evident, and there are many who believe nothing else than that they will secure the road. Whether or not they will is to be decided one week from Monday, when the sale takes place at Cincinnati. A recent dispatch from Chicago says the Vanderbilts are making a strong effort to secure the line, but adds: “There are other parties, however, who would like to secure the Clover Leaf. The people who control the Chicago & Erie think they could make excellent use of the Clover Leaf and they may make an attempt to get it. The roads have been handicapped by lack of terminals at both ends, and an arrangement with the Erie would prove favorable to both roads.” Our citizens anxiously await the outcome, knowing full well that such a sale means much for Decatur, this being the meeting point of both roads. Charles Gross, a youflg man well known in this county, and who moved from Monroe to this city about a year ago, died at his home on Fourteenth street, Monday morning of blood poison, after several days of the most terrible suffering ever allotted to man. Mr. Gross was a member of the Adams county bar, and did a collecting and insurance business for several years. During the past few months, however, he has been buying iron, brass, copper. etc., and about ten days ago he took a car load of such material to Ft. Wayne where he disposed of same to one of the foundry’s. He has for several years been a sufferer from catarrh which had irratated the inside of his nose and kept it constantly inflamed, and while at the foundry it is claimed he inhaled a quantity of brass siftings, which caused blood poisoning. By the time he reached home his face had become slightly swollen and continued to grow worse. He kept up pretty well, however, until last Friday, when the terrible disease seemed to take hold of his frail body with renewed fury and he soon became unconscious. His head was swollen to twice its normal size and shortly before he died his eyes were forced from their sockets. The man, never very healthy, suffered untold agony and the few who saw him were scarce able to control themselves. Towards the last it is said the united efforts of two men were neccessary to keep him in bed and he begged pitiously that his nose be amputated. There seems to have been absolutely no help for him and the angel of death certainly came as a relief. He was thirty-five years of age and leaves a wife and three young daughters who are destitute, and who are being cared for at present by the neighbors. The case is sad in every detail and the family deserve the sympathy and attention of every citizen. The funeral services were held at the Monroe Methodist church yesterday morning, conducted by Rev. N. P. Barton, and the remains laid to rest in the Rtiy cemetery.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

NUMBER 2

Portland now has two telegraph lines from which to chose for sending its business. The Western Union Telegraph Company has been there for many years, but during the past week the Postal Telegraph came in, its office being in the Grand Rapids & Indiana depot. The company will handle all kinds of business, and claims to have the best facilities for its transmission. Small pox is prevalent in several towns along the Clover Leaf, east of Delphos, and to prevent a possible spread of the disease to Delphos, Health Officer Cochran of that city has been instructed to notify the Clover Leaf railroad company to receive no passengers from any point betw-en Continental and Holgate for Delphos until further notice. It is said that the agent for the company at Pleasant Bend has left his position because of the small pox scare at that point. A meeting was held Saturday afternoon at the home of Mrs. A. M. Fisher, on Fourth street, for the purpose of organizing a Christian Womans Board of Missions. The meeting was called by the ladies of the Christian church and Mrs. Louise Kelley, of Emporia, Kansas, was present to assist in the organization. The afternoon was a pleasant and successful one and the society was formed with a sufficient number of good earnest workers to insure its growth and ultimate success. The officers for the new society as selected were: President, Mrs. C. A. Lamar; vice-president, Miss Mary Johnson; secretary, Mrs. Harry Daniel, and treasurer. Mrs. A.M. Fisher The C. W. B. M. is a branch of the Christian church and the ladies will no doubt do some good work in the future. ’Twas a bad night, sure, St. Patrick’s night always is, but whoever heard of Indians celebrating the shamrock? However strange this may seem a party of Indians and their squaws came over from Bluffton Saturday evening and created heap big pile of fun at the Pocahontas wigwam in this city. The occasion was the initiation of a party of candidates into the Maud Muller degree, a sort of advanced stage of pocahontism. The initiation occupied several hours and was followed by a right royal spread, which had been prepared by the Red Men and their associates; wives or squaws, as you may desire. After the feast came games, addresses, speeches, music and every other old kind of fun until nearly four o’clock a. m., when the visitors hastened to catch the train for home What are we coming to when our squaws “tear ’em up” until the wee sma’ hours? Well, anyway the occasion was all that it was planned for- a riproaring good time and everyone will remember the evening as a particularly happy one.
