Laughrey, who con ducted devotional services,’after which Dr. Thomas Craven, the India missionary talked interestingly upon the subject “Schools in India." Professor Hartman then took up the subject "Language and gave some splendid pointers upon the teaching of same. Professor Falk then gave a good lesson upon voice culture and the teachers derived many needed hints from his talk. Mr. Pattengill then addressed the institute upon the subject “Intelligent Patriotism.” He impressed upon the teacher the necessity of teaching their scholars to be patri otic. One should be willing to either live or die for his country. He con demned Cuban Frauk Neeley, as he called him, for his disgraceful stealing of public funds when holding a position of trust. Roll call and adjournment followed. The afternoon session opened by the singing of several songs, followed by Professor Hartman continuing the subject, “Language.” He again instructed the teachers tube careful in their choice of language, for the words thev use will be spoken in the homes of the future. The teacher is the fountain head of the school room and the books he reads and the language he uses may be of future influence. Hethen dwelt for a few minutes on the derivation of words which was most instructive. Music by Professor Falk followed and miscellaneous business was taken up, and under this head B. F. Winans presented the following resolution which was adopted: Whereas, On account of the serious illness of our co-workei*and friend Albert Hocker is prevented from being with us, and knowing that this affliction has been brought upon him in part by his unswerving devotion and faithful diligence in the work ; Be it resolved. That we the members of the Adams Co. Teacher's Institute assembled, unite iu extending our sympathy and sincere wishes for his speedy recovery. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be presented to Mr. Hocker, and also that they lx» published. After intermission F. M. Falk gave a lesson in music. Prof. Pattengill then continued his morning subject. “Intelligent Patriotism." saying : In order to get patriotism in the homes, it must liegin in schools. Tell the pupils stories of Clark. Boon. Croket and Whitman. He himself told some verv interesting stories, after which the roll was called and the meeting adjourned for the day. Wednesday morning session found many new faces present and everybody with an eager look upon their faces, showing the deep interest they were taking in the work. Prof. J. E. Lung, of Geneva, conducted the devotional services. Prof. H. R. Pattengill opened the institute work, proper, bv an address upon “ The Schools and the Labor Problem." He claimed the teacher should be a society leader, which he cannot be unless his ideals are high. The labor problem is a complex one, but Mr. Pattengill explains! it in a clever manner. He dwelt upon trust and labor unions for several minutes and his talk was both instructive and inter estiug. Prof. Falk followed in lesson, “Harmony in Music.” Prof. B. A. Winans, of the Berne schools, then lead in the subject of “ Kindergarten Work," and his papet was well pre pared. He gave many interesting ideas, which, if followed out, would be of great benefit. Roll call and adjournment. After singing by the in stitute, Prof. Pattengill opened the afternoon session by continuing his talk on “Schools and the Labor Party." He said the cause of the labor problem is the unequal distribution of profits. The people must respect labor and the teacher should help the pupil to understand the question. Miss Sissa French then very successfully handled the subject, “ A Teacher’s Influence, doing great credit to herself and subject. Prof. H. A. Hartman closed the afternoon work by a talk on " The Recitation,” in which he described the means a teacher should adopt to draw the students closer and thus impart to them more knowledge. The institute will close Friday afternoon, and the teachers will go to their respective homes much better prepared for their coming work in the school*. Tonight Mr Pattengiil will deliver his popular lecture, “Nancy Hauks and the Nineteenth Century.” Graham Earle, the repetoire favorite among Decatur theatre goers is here this week with a company of stars and as a consequence Bosse s opera house has been packed every evening this week, standing room being at a premium. The company opened the season here Monday evening with the popular drama, ’ The Inside Track," and although the first appearance of the company for the season, no one would have guessed as much. On Tuesday evening they presented in an equally pleasing manner “The Country Gul ““d la9 ‘ night "Dad's Girl.” Margeri e Ear e is among the favorites with the au< ience, although every performer is greeted with applause at every appearance, and ah appear to. please. The company will remain during the week and a change of of program will. be rendertsl each evening. specialties are introduced between acts > making the show almost continuous.. 'a>

Bert Mangold came very near drowning while bathing at Coverdale’s gravel pit, north of the city, Tuesday evening. He cannot swim and waded out too far, finally stepping off into fifteen feet of water. He sank twice and had not several boys been close at hand his career would have no doubt been ended. Dick France was the first to reach thedruwuiug lad and Bert held on to him with a life and death grip, even succeeding in pulling him under the water. However, by this time C. O. France and Frank Schumacher came to the rescue and after several minutes’ work succeeded iu landing Bert upon the shore more dead than alive and badly frightened. He soon recovered and is now back to his normal state of mind. The trial of Caleb Powers, ex .secretary of state, for complicity in the assassination of Governor Goeliel, which has been in progress at Georgetown, Ky., for the past six weeks, was concluded Saturdav afternoon. The case was given to the jury shortly after 1:30, and in just 53 minutes from the time of its retirement for deliberation, the jury returned to the court with a verdict, which was read by the clerk, and which was in these words: “We, the jury, find the defendant guilty, and fix his punishment at confinement in the state penitentiary for life.” The jury was composed of six democrats. five anti Gobel democrats and one republican. On reaching the jury room, the instructions of the court were read aloud by one of their number, after which short talks were'made by such of the jurors as wished to express themselves, the first to speak being Juror Porter, who said: “Gentlemen. 1 am a republican, and I have said I did not believe Goebel’s murder was the result of a conspiracy. T ' did not think Caleb Powers could be guilty, but I have heard the evidence, and I am convinced he is.” The hardware firm of Schug Bros, of Berne are certainly deserving a great credit for their enterprise in developing and improving their now very beautiful little town. A modern and handsome business block is almost completed, which will be, occupied by them in a few weeks. The building i544x120 feet, two stories with basement, all of which will lie occupied by them. The building is certainly a model one. lieing finished especially for the convenience of their large mercantile business, which has been developed by their presisent efforts, close application to business and fair and square dealing. The new building will cost SBJX)O or $9,000, and when properly stocked, as it will i»e, will represent the capital of two very enterprising and deserving business men. The firm is composed of Chas. C. and Julius C. Schug, Their former home was in French township, where they struggled from youth iu supporting their mother, their father having died while they were both quite young. September 8,1887, they left a threshing machine, and purchased a little hardware stock in Berne from J. P. Habegger At Co. and from that has grown the flourish-1 i ng business they now enjoy. They are genial gentlemen and know their ( business from ato z. and the Demo-, crat is glad to see them prosper.

The members of 160th Indiana regiment of volunteers are requested to meet at court house lawn in this city Saturday evening, at seven o’clock, that proper arrangements maybe made to attend the first annual reunion of thej regiment which is to be held at Bluffton next week. All are requested to be present who can possibly do so. John P. Baker, one of the best known farmers of Adams county left last Friday for New York, from where he sailed the first of the week for Antwerp, Germany. He has been a resident of this country for many years and this is his first visit to his former home. He will visit an only sister and expects to be absent about two months. The marriage of William Floyd Bnttson and Miss DollyeDeeSehafer, two of Decatur’s most prominent young people, will quite soon be consumated. While this is not official, yet we take the liberty of staking our reputation upon its truthfulness. The bride is the handsome and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Schafer, while the groom is the junior member of the flourishing hardware firm of Brittson Bros. Both are well known and have many friends who will read this news item with surprise and pleasure, and who will wish them all the happiness that is so abundantly theirs. They will leave —but come to think of it. we are pledged to secrecy, so just guess the rest. Rev. Thomas Craven, now of Evanston, Illinois, was in this county over the Sabbath, and Sunday morning assisted in the services at the Methodist church. Many years of his life have been spent in far away India where hundreds of people are starving each year. He tells many harrowing tales of life in that country and his talks are most interesting. He will return to India next year and at the Sunday services here collected about seventy dollars for his Christian work in the famine stricken districts of that land, i During his stay here he spoke at several churches in the country districts. He made this office a pleasant cal! and presented us with a small sea shell, known in India as a “courie” and used as their iowest denomination of money, sixty of these shells being equal to one cent of American money. Last Sunday afternoon while attending a base ball game at Linn Grove, Miss Daisy Arnold accidentally shot herself in the left knee with a revolver belonging to her escort, Edward H. Martz. Mr. Martz is a regular member of the Linn Grove ball club and in view of a game drove over to that town last Sunday accompanied by Miss Arnold. Arriving at the ground Mr. Martz handed his revolver to her for safe-keeping. The cartridges had been remover! from the chambers but while handling it Mr. Martz seems to have replaced on« of them. While the ball game was in progress Miss Arnold carelessly liegan toying with the weapon which was discharged, the ball striking her above the left knee and lodging near the joint. Mr Martz immediately drove to the residence of Dr. Haughton with his wounded charge. The doctor bandaged the wound and they j returned to Berne. The young lady was taken to her home at Wm. Sheets' and Dr. R. S. Wilson was called im j mediately. The wound, however, was i dangerous and the position of the I ball so difficult to reach that an oper-; tion was temporarily postponed.Beane Witness. The Reformed Sunday School con vention of thisdistrict was held at their church in this city last week and was : a most successful event. Delegates were present from Fort Wayne., Huntington, Marion. Magley, Andrews, Bluffton, Auburn and Berne and the visitors were nicely entertained at a reception at the parsonage [ Thursday evening. The lawn was very tastily decorated in honor of the! event and happinessand ago d frateru , la feeling made the evening pass all too | quickly. The session was opened j Thursday afternoon and continued until Friday afternoon, Rev. Kruse the local pastor having charge of affairs. Every Ixxly enjoyed the occasion heartily and so expressed themselves. The convention next year will l>e held at Auburn. The | Huntington Herald gave the follow- j iug report: There were seventeen members of the German Reformed , Sunday school who attended the annual convention at Decatur and they report a grand time. The Decatur people were untiring in their efforts , to make the delegates feel at home, and the sessions were of great interest. The Huntington crowd came home last evening on the fast express train but the run was a very tedious one in this instance for the engine broke down in the country a few miles west of Decatur and the train did not. reach here until after 9 o’clock.

Four marriage licenses have been issued at the clerk's office of Adams county this week and the parties appear upon the docket as follows: Samuel S. Studabaker and Sarah C. Mundhenk, George A. Hendricks and Stella E. Keller, Isaac P. Moore and -Jessie Rinehart, George Dupes and Lydia Ann Ray. All are well known over the county and we wish them many years of happiness and enjoyment. On Sunday, August 19, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Keller, of near Monroe, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Stella, to G. A. Hendricks. The beautiful and impressive ceremony was performed by Rev. Peters, only the im • mediate relatives being present. Those from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Keller, of Wapakoneta, 0., Mr. W. C. Keller, McClure, 0., and Frank Keller, of Fort Wayne. Mr. Niehoff, general agent of the Metropolitan Insurance company, was in the city yesterday and today the guest of Agent Luckey. While here he extended an invitation to Mr. Luckey to attend the annual banquet and field day of the leading Metropolitan agents of the United States to bo held iu New York City the first week in October. This is an invitational affair and any one receiving an invitation is greatly honored and must have done good work for the company. All expenses incurred from the time a guest leaves home until he is returned are paid by the company with allowances for extras besides. Mr. Luckey feels highly honored and of course will attend. Bluffton Banner. H. E. Butler and family and Mrs. William Elzey, who reside near here, enjoyed a pleasant trip over the Sabbath. They left here last Saturday in a comfortable rig and drove to Hartford City, where they took dinner, after which all but Mr. Butler were driven to Eaton, Indiana, by Mr. Mallonee, who formerly lived here. Later in the day Mr. Butler also went to Eaton and there the entire party wereentertained by Messrs. Chase and Fisher and families and the occasion was a most happy one according to the latest reports. It is even said that the way the visiters devoured the chicken i and water melon that such dainties are I scarce about there. Anyway the party broke up reluctantly and left only | after giving frequent promises to rej turn at an early date when they are to | lie banqueted equally as well as this | time and when nothing will be said ! about the broken glass.

In the matter of the Joseph Martin petition for a sewer in the north part of the city, a remonstrance was filed by Mrs. Margerete Meiliers and forty other tax payers and citizens who have property along the proposed route of said sewer, asking that petition for said improvement lie dismissed for the reasons that such a sewer would not lie a utility, that the route is not practicable and that the cost would be greater than the benefit therefrom The reI monstrance was referred to the sewer committee and city civil engineer upon motion by Mr. Suttles. Mr. Niblick moved that the matter of the Ashley j Mann ditch be referred to the proper 'committee. Motion was carried. Council then adjourned to meet in continued session next on Tuesday 1 evening.

NUMBER 24

The first appearance of Falk’s ! Juvenile Band, composed of boys ranging in age from twelve to sixteen I years, occured Friday morning. The | boys played their first engagement at ! the Mt. Tabor picnic and liefore starting out favored our citizens with one of their selections. They were heartily cheered by their audience, and Prof. Falk seemed highly pleased with the effort. The boys are alright and before many weeks will show our people that Decatur has one of the best musical organizations on earth. A committee on lunacy composed of Justices James H. Smith and E. G. Coverdale and Drs. D. D. and C. S. Clark met at the county clerk’s office yesterday morning to hear evidence in the case of Miss Amelia Fuelling, daughter of Henry D. Fuel ling. The board found her almost a physical and mental wreck and recommended that she be sent to the Eastern Indiana asylum at Richmond. Miss Fuelling is about thirty years of age and her many friends over the county are pained to hear of her deplorable condition. That the people of Indiana will be given the privilege of listening to many of the greatest democratic ora tors of the country is evidenced by the following list which Chairman Martin announces as the stars who will speak in the Hoosier state this fall: David B. Hill of New York, George Fred Williams of Massachusetts, Senator John W. Daniels of Virginia, Governor Benton McMillen of Tennessee, Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, Champ Clark. Richard DeArmond, William J. Stone and Webster Davis, of Missouri, John L. Lentz of <Thio, Mayor David S. Rose of Milwaukee, Carter H. Harrison. Howard S. Taylor and Clarence S. Darrow of Chicago, Charles A. Towne of Missouri, Gen. James B. Weaver of lowa, Governor Thomas, Thomas M. Patterson and Senator Teller of Colorado, Senator W. V. Allen of Nebraska, C. A. Windle of Ottawa, 111., Governor Hogg of Texas, and Senator George L. Wellington of Delaware. An attempt to escape was made by some of the thugs lodged in the Adams I county jail Saturday evening and had [ Sheriff Erwin not been a little too smooth for the boys a wholesale delivery would have doubtlessly occurred. Supper had been served to the prisoners iu the corridor inside the | first ceil doors and when the sheriff ! went in to return them to their cells, ! one of the young toughs who was ar ; rested for robbing Meyers’ saloon, at i once called him to one side and began Ito talk earnestly to him concerning a j letter he had received. In the meanI time his partner and one of the Port- ! land criminals hid under the table. Their scheme was when the proper moment came for the t.vo beneath the table to grab Mr. Erwin and fix him !so they could all walk out at their leisure. However, the sheriff did not become very much interested in the story told him and when he turned about at once looked under the table. He ordered the boys to roll out which they did with rather a sheepish look on their faces and all were soon safely back in their cells A dangerous lot of crooks are lodged in jail just at present and Sheriff Erwin will no doubt watch them closely hereafter. John Potter, once a trusted employe at the Burt House, where he held the position as night clerk for several months, is now reflecting over his bad deeds liehind the bars of the Adams county jail. As told last week, he ap propnated $l2O deposited with hen for safe keeping by a traveling sales mannamed Frame. He enjoyed him self just one week and on Saturdav morning last walked into the police station at Chicago and gave himself up to the authorities, who at once notified Mr. Hill of this city that they had his man Sheriff Erwm left Sat , urday night for Chicago and returned ! the following evening with the prison I er, who is now being held for trial at I the September term of court. John is broken in spirits and severely feels the disgrace he has brought upon him ■ self. When asked by a representative of the Democrat how he felt, he replied: "Constitutionally all right, consciously all wrong.” In his dark cell he is no doubt suffering pangs of torture brought upon him by remetnberances of a crime committed while under the influence of liquor, but which he can now in no way atone for. His future is no doubt rather discolor ed in appearances. Having confessed his crime, he will very probably enter a plea of “guilty” and do the time allotted him at Michigan City. He says he had drank more than usual on the day previous to his disapjiearance and when he left here went directly to Chicago, where he proceeded to enjoy life several days. He purchased a new suit of clothes and the rest of the $l2O was spent for drinks iu just one week. Saturday morning found him on the verge of a total collapse, with no money. Gradually he came to himself, and when he remembered his crime decided rather than lie a hudted criminal he would give huiL self over to the police which he diet; He has no hard feelings towards an v - one and blames nobody but himself. He has waived a preliminary hearing and his trial will come up at the com I iug term court.
