Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Gregg have Mtuwi, their household effects frdft Bellefountain to this city and are now oeeupymg the Daniel Erwin residence on west Mouroe street. Mr. wil continue m the employ of J D Hale for the present at least. Veterans who attended the ‘reunion of the forty-seventh regiment at North Manchester last week report one W the best times ever enjoyed at such an event. The citizens of that place took excellent care of them and provided liberally for their entertainment George F. McFarren, the Bluffton merchant, was here Monday looking after business interests. While he would not say so out loud, vet he ' made it pretty evident that Decatur outclassed Bluffton about sixteen to one, or any old ratio you might mention. J. C. Schug of Berne, was here', Monday and took time to inform m that their new and hand<me busi noss room is almost completed. The I new building is certainly a model and I a credit to the progressive spirit of this enterprising hardware firm and that hustling little town as well. Burglars attempted to effect an •entrance into the home of Adam Gilliom. on Madison street. Monday night. Mrs. Gilliom heard them trying to raise a window and at once screamed for help, frightening the prowlers nearly out of their wits and causing them tobvgak and run. The west hound passenger train on the Clover Leaf railroad which has heretoftre left here at 12:05 will hence forth, according to the new time table leave at 11:22, forty-three minutes earlier, and will meet the east bound train at Bluffton. The new schedule went into effect last Monday, all the other trains remaining the same as they were. Mrs. Ora France, who has been visiting at the home, of H. L. Confer and family at Sturgis South Dakota, for several weeks, will leave onu her return trip the last of the week, arriving here probably next Tuesday. Mrs. Center, who is very sick, will accompany her, with the hoffc that the change of climate may improve her now very serious condition. Gus Rosenthal, the hustling young : clothier, has an attractive announcement in this week's issue, in which are bargains which will pay you to look over and note carefully. His , stock of goodff is strictly up-to-date clean and carefully selected and his cash system has made it possible for him to sell the best goods at the lowest prices, t Through the courtesy of A. F. Fleet, Superintendent of the Culver Military Acadamy, are in receipt of an in’ citation to attend the conmiencement exercises of that institution. The exercises begin Saturday June 2 and continue until Thursday June 5. The , invitations are very handsome and compare favorbly with the reputation of that famous school. There are sixteen graduates in the class. The Root township Sunday school convention will be held at Mt. Plea® ant M. E. Church on Friday, June 8, 1 afternoon and evening. A suitable program, which will lie published in next week’s issue, will lie rendered, and the attendance promises to be quite large. All Sunday school friends and ministers of the various churches Are earnestly requested to be

present Samuel F. Day, ex-mayor of Huntington, and well known in this city, died at his home Sunday night atßMs> after a short illness. He was born in Purtagfc county, Ohio, in 1837, and hail been a resident of Huntington for the past 40 years. For five terms he served as mayor of the city, and has always been a foremost citizen in the upholding and improvement of his home town. s The members of the Grand Army of the Republic and the Ladies' Relief Corps attended divine services at the United Brethren elwrch Sunday morning in a body. The dav is what is now known over all the land as Memorial Sunday, being the Sabbath previous to decoration dav, and Rev. Kline’s discourse was very appropriate to tfce occasion, a»l was listened to attentively by all present. John J. Soldner, John Craig. H. S. Michaud, Joe Winteregg, Philipp Schugg, Andrew Gottschalk and wife, Trustee Sehug and wife, Samuel Schindler, Marshal Burrie, F. C. Foreman, J. F. Lachot, Mont Rose of Berne, Moses Augsberger of Linn Grove, and Trustee Stiner of French township, wore among those of southern Adams who attended the funeral obsequies of the late P. P. Ashbaucher yesterday Frank France, who charge of three hotels at Dahlonega. Georgia, is at home fora two-weeks visit with friends and relatives. He came as far as Cincinnati for the purpose of purchasing a large amount of furniture for the hotels and took this opportunity of coming back to old Indiana for another glimpse at the greatest country which lies out of doors. He will return south the first of next week. » The Wheeling. West Virginia, base ball team defeated the Mansfield club at the former city last Sunday by a scose of three to two. The game lasted eighteen innings and was probably the most exciting over played in the history of this national s|x>rt. During the game a constable who tries! to arrest the players was thrown over the fems’, his papers torn up and he was then arrested for disorder! j eond net. The scon* wax two to two up to the eighteenth inning, when Wheeling scored on an error, a base on balls and a two bnse hit.

County Superintendent Irvin Brandyberry and Prof. H. A. Hartman of the city schools, left this morning for \\ est Baden Springs for a much needed rest. They expect to be absent about two weeks and will take a thorough course of the water treatment which has made that resort famous. A number of Adams county citizens have visited West Baden this season and all speak in the highest terms of the results there obtained. New cases have been filed this week as shown by the record of the Adams county clerk as follows: State vs William Dickerson, selling liquor without license. Adolph Dittmer, ex-parte, naturalization papers asked and granted. Bertha Steele vs John Durr, suit on account, demand S2OO. Manerva and John Stengle vs Henry S ; Posson etal, complaint on bond John E. and Levina King vs city of Decatur, complaint for damages, SISOO. G. A. Deitch, admitted to the bar. The Methodist general conference has abolished the time limit of pastorates, thus finally disposing ot one of the most important questions before the great Methodist body and doing away with one of the fundamental features of the itinerant system of the denomination. Hereafter, according to the discipline adopted by the conference, preachers will lid appointed annually by the bishops, with no limit to the number of years a pastor may serve cne congregation, except the limit imposed by his congregation. The rain which fell this week is worth millions of dollars to the farmers ot Indiana and adjoining states. The rain fell softly and gently, and soaked gradually into the earth, thereby doing the most gapd. Growing crops were not beaten (town by it. and when the sun came out everything liegan to grow with renewed vigor. The rain came in a most opporftine time. It put new life in the corn, some of which is now through the ground, freshened up the pasture land and in fact did the greatest amount of good to all growingthings. A number of invitations have bee> received hereannouncing the marriage of Miss Kate Work and Mr. Gus Downs, which is to occur from the Methodist church of Dunkirk June 19. The affair is to be the social event of the season, over four hundred people IxiiiK invited. Miss Work is the eldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G. B. Work, who formerly lived We. Mr. Downs is a traveling salesman and has a number of acquaintances here. In advance we lx?g to offer our hearty congratulations, wishing for Mr. and Mrs. Downs many years of happy prosperity. The eclipse of the sun Monday morning came off on scheduled time, but on account of the cloudy weather our citizens were not allowed very good views of same. For just a few moments about eight o’clock when the sun had crept between two clouds was the eclipse noticeable. At that time it was about thnaquarters total. Cities in the path of the total eclipse, however, report good weather, and a slear sky, Mid say that many photographs were taken of the various stages of the phenomena. At about 7:30 o’clock h«re it was quite dark and it is probable that at that time it was nearly total. The wedding of Miss Thresa Ze«er and Mr. Nicholas Schafer is announc-

ed to occur at the SuMary’s Catholic church next Tuesday morning at eight o’clock. Miss Thresa is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Zeser who reside just south of the city, while the groom is a well known young business man of this city. A reception will be given in honor of the happy couple at the home of the bride’s parents from eight to twelve Tuesday evening, and a number of invitations have been issued for same. Both are popular young folks, and their friends who are many, advaijpe congratula tions and good wishes as does the Democrat. Bunseu and Hi* Veal Cwtleta. Abs>ntmiwleduess was a ' marked truit In Bunsen's character, and many amusing anecdotes are 1 of the difficulties it brought him. The statement that he remained a bachelor because he forgot bis wedding day Is of course apocryphal, as is the other about his putting on a suit of garments on the top of others that he had forgotten to take off, but the following came under my personal observation: Bunsen used to dine every day at a little table reser>d for him In a restaurant connected with the hotel in which I lived. One spring he fell Into the habit of ordering veal cutlets and asparagus as the chief Item for bis meal, and without reflection or feeling that a change of diet would be agreeable he continued to order “kalbs cotelette and spargel" dally for several weeks until one day the kellner gravely Informed him that asparagus was no longer In season and could not be supplied. Burden seemed to be Immensely taken aback and to realize for the first time that her bad been dining on one dish for a long period. He soon re-J covered himself, however, and the waiter for the bill of fare, fTom’' which, after careful examination, ho ordered mutton chops and peas, and this was bls dally diet up to the time 1 changed my hotel.—Science. A Religious Revival. w * Abner L. Frazer of Cincinnati is trying to get the clergy interested In a world’s revival, to mark the opening of the new century. The time which be suggests for the holding of the revival lx from Oct. 1. 1900, to March 31, 1001. The first three months of tho century he would devote to the reviving of the work of Clnlstianlty and the last three months to forecasting the Christian work of ths future. <

One Way of Getting Money Without Panning It Out. “There are more ways of making money off a claim than panning It out,” said an Alaska miner who had some luck with his pick and shovel. “For instance, I knew a man of means in the Dawson district who bad a claim which hud failed to be as profltable as expected, and he didn’t know just what to do with it to get his money back until he liad devoted considerable thought to it. And it was simple enough when be knew how. “He quietly went to the gold commissioner and announced tbar be wished to pay bis 10 per cent royalty on the product of bis claim for a year, which was $6,000. The commissioner acccoted the $6,000 royalty and gave him the usual receipt, stating on its face what it was for. with the number of the claim, location, etc. "Then he ’waited patiently about,’ like Mary's little lamb, and one day. in the course of human events, an Englishman came along looking for a good thing for some people who had money to spend. He asked Mr. Blank, among others, what he bad to sell, and the smooth gent told him be didn’t know exactly, but he shgw him his goods. They looked over several claims that were practically unworked, and then in a casual way Mr. Blank showed the Englishman bls receipt for royalty on claim so and so. ’And. you know.’ be said, with a wink, ’that a man isn’t paying royalty on any more than tie can possibly help.’ “The Englishman was right on tc that game, of course, and be sized up the $6,000 receipt, looked the claim In a general way and ended by buylfg It for slso,ooo.”—Washington Star. Ttie Huke nnd the Dean. The late Prebendary Rogers used tc tell how Lord Rosebery joined him in petitioning the Duke of Wellington to open Apsley House on Sunday afternoons, so that the public might see the pictures. The duke and Mr. Rogers met in tie park and began to speak afibut the memorial. “Among all these signatures.” said the duke. ”1 find only one respectable name, and that is your own.” Mr. Rogers replied that Dean Stanley bad signed. "Oil." said the duke, “I don’t call him respectable.” "Well, but there Is Lord Rosebery." “I don’t think much of him,” answer ed the duke; “but, as you assure me it is ; all right, 1 will see what can be done.” It was® finally agreed that visitors, should be admitted o» condition tbai tbajt wiped their feet on the mitts and did nut sit down on the sofas.-4 Vest minster Gazctße. Piecing Bank Moten. I am told at the treasury that it is not itossible for a person tc defraud rue government by what they call "piecing”—that is, by small slices of several bank notes and fitting them together to complete nore. Such offenses have been committed, and the guilty persons have been sent the penitentiary, but the treasury never redeems the bills and the loss falls upon the persons whe send them in for redemption. Then are several Ways of committing frauds of this nature, and they ar* done sc Skillfully ns to escape detection except by experts. There Is now a SSOO note on exhibition at the treasury wbict is made up of 16 of other notbs so skillfully fitted together as to es cape the notid® of a number of banks and many people who bandied It—Chi tteago Record. Afi Op*a Air In Church. Those of my cburchgolng readers who are familiar with Mozart's opera of “Don Juan” and have even sung it in church In— I am conscious of an interruption and a protest at this point, denying the allegatjpu and defying the allegator but I must Insist on the truth of my statement The tune “Smyrna” Is not sung so much In church as it used tc be. but you could find it in plenty of tunebooks 25 years ago. It is a beautiful melody, but not devotional except as It expresses the devotion of the tickle coquette In the opera as she con soles her bruised lover.— Irish Independent • A Queutron of Ailrnntaue.
