William Breiner, of Kirkland township is wearing a very sore finger, caused by getting it tangled up in a piece of machinery which acted very unruly. geerv & Lynch sold the last of their western horses here last Saturday at private sale. These sales have betMi the means of distributing a large number of these animals over this county. The Decatur High School foot ball t eam will meet the Fort Wayne Business College team at Zimmerman’s Park this afternoon. A good warm game is looked for, as both teams have been putting in some hard licks at practice. The campaign is on in earnest now and for the next month the two great parties will wage a fierce struggle, but when the smoke has cleared away after Noevmber 6 the citizens will find that the common people of this great nation have voted almost to the man for XV. J. Bi van. Three new cases grace the entry docket of the Circuit Court, being entitled William H. Niblick vs. John M. Blossom, et al. complaint on note. S6O. George Tricker vs. Lewis P. Swartz, affidavit of insanity. William Christen vs. Perry Robinson, complaint on note, demand S2OO. B. J. Terveer got entangled with a large sized dog Monday afternoon, and as a result has a verv sore spot on his left leg just above the knee. He was going down North Sixth street when the dog ran out and grabbed him. He has also been suffering from a lame back, and the two together have made him very uncomfortable for several days. The annual meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist church for the receiving of thank offerings, was held last Friday evening at the home of Mrs. John Niblick. The program was splendidly prepared and rendered and the refreshments were delicious, making the evening a most enjoyable one from every point of view. Deputy Sheriff Frank Ferrell left last Friday morning in charge of John Braun, whom he took to Michigan City and saw him safely confined behind the prison walls of the northern penitentiary. His attorneys are busy preparing the brief for an appeal to the supreme court, and firmly believe they will be able to secure a reversal of the decision and their client’s ultimate release. About every change of the moon the Clover Leaf had a new night operator, but one has been secured now that will likely remain awhile. Thurman McCullough, brother-in-law of Bert Shumaker, arrived yesterday and took charge of the office last night. Mrs. McCullough arrived today and their household goods will follow as soon as a house is found. He was night man on the Erie at Decatur for some time, and was formerly at ()hio City and in the employ of the Clover Leaf. He is an able operator and good station man as well and Mr. Twiss, the agent is to be congratulated in securing so good an assistant. The best is none too good for the Clover Leaf. — Bluffton Banner. On the sth day of October, 1900, at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Alfred De Brot, occurred the death of Peter Parrott. The deceased was born in Andin Court, France, in 1825. Among the fertile hills and valleys of Eastern Prance he spent his youthful days. He was confirmed in the French Reformed church at the age of fifteen, and in the following year came to Mt. Eaton, Ohio. Several years after he came to Adams county, Indiana, where he has resided ever since. In 1853 he married Julia Merlett. Os this union one child survives him, Mrs. G. T. Phillips of Chicago, Illinois. In 1858 he married Julia Emily Bovine. Os this union seven children were born, w which four are still living. He ■eaves eight grandchildren. Though unpretentious in his Christian life he jcas a man of sound principles and thoroughly conscientious. That the organization of the Decatur Oil and Gas company a few weeks ®ffo was made for business purposses ■s very evident from the persistent ef■ortg of the gentlemen who started the same, and should they succeed in their expectations and find that De catur is m the center of a great field, hey will deserve great credit. At any fate their views of a thorough test right nil"*? 8 right one and they deserve an the assistance possible to lie given hcui. A meeting was called for last Y'day evening for the purpose of '‘"''■t'hg a board of directors, and the °‘lowing well chosen business men '“re accordingly selected: John D. a ‘o, John 8. Bowers, George XV. "'l’' George XV. Woodward, James ■Btone, James A. Hendricks and "W H. Myers. This board ' meet to-night at Mr. Roop’s "lore, on South Second street, for B |,r of selecting their officers, m/T H. b Gie company will begin to !, “h things along more rapidly than • J have heretofore Ixxm able to do. hmount of the stock has been if 11 there is still some left, and not already aubacrilxxl, '1 8 ?* 10 ti,ne to get in ou the sroiind floor.

Rev. H. C. Duckett and Charles F ' True are at Crawfordsville this week, where they are acting as delegates to we 1 resbyterian semi-annual synod. I 1 hey will probably return home today. A unique window display may be seen at True’s Cash store this wook. Aside from being very attractive the window contains a puzzle which will require your attention for several minutes. Take a look as you go by. An addition will be erected at once to the large Studabaker block on South Second street, occupied by Woodward A Ball’s furniture store. The addition is built for the purpose of giving this firm more room, and will extend back to the alley. It will be only one story high at present, but another may be added at some future time if necessary. The damage suit for 81,500 entitled John E. and Lavinia King vs. City of Decatur, has been settled and dismissed from the docket. The city agreed to pay the plaintiff §l5O and costs which was accepted. The case arose from an accident which occurred last spring when Mrs. King received a broken arm by falling into a dilapidated sidewalk on Mercer street. Albert Buhler has purchased his brother Jacob's interest in the blacksmith shop on Jefferson street, and has already assumed control of the same. All accounts are due to him, and should bo paid at once, lie will retain the same workmen as before, and guarantees you first class work in anything pertaining to his line. His health, which has been badly impaired for some time, is greatly improved, and he expects to be able to attend strictly to business from now on. Our roll of honor, including those who have paid subscriptions to the Democrat since our report of last week includes J. D. Miller, John D. Mason, William Hart. Israel Bright. William Elberding. Charles Neuen Schuvander. J. E. Mann. D. XV. Laisure, Fred Shafer. N. G. Huffman, Zeke Elzey, C. Forteur; Fred Maderhouser, J. A. Miller. Chris Eicher, Andrew Jackson, John D. Burrell, Fred Brineke. Thos. J Elzey, P. E. Fugate. Theodore Hundy. Israel D. Bright, Henrv Colchin. Eugene Morrow, C. C. Myers, George Kingle, J. H. Helm, William Alfather and J. A. Kiess. In another column will be found a notice asking that all subscriptions to the Willard graveyard church, in Blue Creek township, have their subscriptions in by one week from Saturday, at which time an oratorical contest will be given. Upon the result of this contest rests the denomination of the new church which is now readv for dedication. The people of various church beliefs have entered speakers for the occasion and the one who receives the decision of the judges will be allowed to say wtiat denomination the church will hereafter be dedicated for. This scheme is certainly a novel one and in consequence this little church in Blue Creek township will be heard of all over the United States. The reunion of tne 89th Indiana Indiana Volunteers closed here Thursday morning and has been recorded upon the minds of visiting members as one of the best ever held. The meeting Thursday morning was strictly for business purposes and resulted in the selection of T. C. McClure, of Wabash, as'president and M. ( . Cory, also of Wabash, as secretary, for the ensuing year. The meeting next year will be held at Wabash, the time not having been decided upon. The following company secretaries , were chosen for the year: Co. A. M. C. Cory, Wabash; Co. B, Lieut, Beublin, Pendleton; Co.C. J. E. Meek, Jones boro; Co. D. M. J. Hodsen, Sheridan; Co. E, Cornelius Corroin. Portland; Co. F, C. L. Osborn. Greentown: Co. G, Cal MeCory, Shanghai; Co. H R. D. Patterson. Decatur; Co. I, Robert A. Drummond, Decatur; Co. K, A. J. Teeple, Decatur, and 9th Indiana Battery, Lieut. Calfe, Crawfordsville. If you didn’t attend the matinee races’given under the auspices of the Decatur Driving Association, at Steele’s Park, you should be sorry for it. They were perhaps the best ever witnessed in Adams county, every heat being full of excitement and interest from start to finish. The running race could not possibly have been improved upon and was alone worth several times the price of ad. mission. There were eleven head of jumpers on the ground, but when the time came to start but six were brought out. the rest having been drawn, but there was a sufficient num tier started to make the race a fierce once. Chicago Mario, a new entry, owned by Gephard, won two straight heats and the race, with Die Ace. owned by King, a close second and Harvey Sprague’s Ladv Hunt third, best time 52 seconds. Ihe 2:40 pace was won by James Riee’s Richmond Boy with Prescott, owned by A. 1. Beatty, sec-end. Hobo Joe. owned by J'llmer Johnson, walked away with all The money in the 2:30 pace The two pacing races were mile 11.« ts and the time was g<x>d ■'"<! fastsix'ctator was more than satisfied and you who missed the events can only get even bv attending tomorrow, when the program promises to be equally as goocl.

Three boys from Monroe township, were before his honor, Mayor Beatty, I Tuesday, charged with cruelty to ani-1 mals. They gave their names as John Weimer, James Hahn and Tony Hocker. All three were found guilty and fined §1 and costs, in default of which the two former were sent to jail. Hocker paid his fine and was i eleased. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Gregory left over the Clover Leaf Monday evening for St. Louis where they will visit relatives and the captain of Mr. Gregory’s company. From there they will go to Aberdeen, South Dakota, to visit an unde who they have not seen since 1862. Returning they will stop at Chicago and Indianapolis, being absent about four weeks. Hon. Joseph T. Day, of Dunkirk, democratic nominee for congressman of this district, addressed a large audience of enthusiastic democrats from the band stand in the court house yard Friday evening. Mr. Day’s address was a very able one and his arguments to the laboring men as well as every other other class were clean and precise. He is making a fair honest canvas and is assured of an enormous vote in old Adams. John F. Lachot, of Berne, who has made a popular name for himself over this part of Indiana by selling oils for the Brooks Oil company, of Cleveland, Ohio, was in town Tuesday looking after the trade, and from all reports, found some too. He disposed of a car load of coal oil amounting to eighty barrels, a pretty good day's work, when it is known that he was in competition with the Standard. He also sold a car load of goods at Berne this week. J. Will Kelley, attorney for the i poor, will be compelled to defend his action in drawing his first quarter’s I salary from the county, in the Jay I circuit court. Will was appointed “attorney for the poor" several months ago by the county commissioners and allowed the munificent salary of §l5O per year. This week he drew his first installment of $38.50, having previously filed his claim with the county commissioners which was allowed. Now comes S. A. D. Whipple and takes an appeal to the circuit court as a tax paver that is aggrieved by reason of the allowance and the matter will have a hearing at the next term. A sore spot of large dimensions and long standing may have something to do with the matter. Portland Review. William J. MeCaully, a young ac- ■ tor who appeared at Bosse’s opera I house a few weeks’ ago with Bartlett I & May’s “A Woman in the Case," was i murdered at Huntington, XV. Va.,Sun--1 day morning, and in his sad ending there is also a woman in the case. After the Saturday evening performance in the above named city MeCaully and several other actors called at the house of a womon known as Daisy | Brown. While there the woman’s lover, Pearl Newman arrived. He | was asked to drink by MeCaully but I refused and said he would rather fight. He picked up a beer glass and i threw it at his victim who then ran i toward him, imploring him not to i cause any trouble. Without a word Newman drew his revolver and fired, shooting the actor through the heart killing him instantly. The murderer escaper! across the Ohio river with : the assistance of a man named Hicks, who was arrested and is now in custody. When here MeCaully played the part of a tramp in the first act and of Mr. Slick, the lawyer, in the second. His home was at Philadelphia. A special session of the city council was held Tuesday evening, with Mayor Beatty presiding, and Messrs. Suttles. Haetling, Myers, Niblich and Mann present. The object of the meeting was to complete the settlement of the ease of Mrs. Lavina King against the citv for damages. Mr. Niblick moved that an order be drawn on the city treasurer for $157.25 to James T. Merryman, city attorney, to pay settlement in said case, said amount of $l5O and costs having been already agreed u|xin, and said motion was carried. The contract of Rose & Bell for setting water meters was filed, and upon motion of Mr. Myers was approved and ordered spread of record. Mr. Suttles moved that the tricks of the waterworks and electric light employes lie changed as follows: C. N. Dorwin to work from 12 o’clock, noon, to 12 o’clock, midnight; Milligan Jackson from 12 o’clock, midnight, to 12 o’clock, noon, each day; Martin Mvlott from afternoon when necessary to’turn on the lights until midnight. Thomas Haefling from midnight until lights are turned off in the morning. Motion carried. Mr. Niblick moved that each one of the electric light and waterworks employes be served with a copy of the above motions, and the same carried. Council | adjourned.

Fred Reppert is acquiring a great reputation over this and adjoining 1 counties as a public sale auctioneer., During this season of the year his services are required almost everyday. I Fred is o. k., too, by the way, and we I have heard enough praises of his work ‘ to fill several volumes. He may be' found with Schafer, Son & Loch in j this city and if you need anything in his line let him know. Rev. H. Theo. Wilkens, of the St. Marys Catholic church, on Tuesday morning performed the service whereby the future lives of Miss Elizabeth Spuller and Mr. Philip Gase were united. The wedding was a beautiful one —the ceremony most impressive. The attendants were Misses Rosa and Anna Hockman and Messrs. Albert and Edward Gase. We congratulate the happy young couple and wish them joy. The presentation of “Quo Vadis” here Saturday night by Capenter’s famous company of stage performers met the approval of every patron of Bosse’s opera house. The company was even better than when here several months ago and they controlled the emotions of their large audience at will. No better production has ever been witnessed in Decatur and Manager Bosse has received an almost ■ endless number of congratulations. The tronpe is assured a liberal patronage should they ever again visit our fair city. Jennie Chapman, daughter of George and Catherine Chapman, was born in Burton City, Wayne county, Ohio, June 10. 1881, died October 6, 1900. At the age of twelve years she united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Burton City. In 1896 she moved with her parents to Bobo, Ind., where she resided to the time of her death. Death deprived her of a father's counsel August 21, 1898 and of a mother’s care Feb, 6, 1900. Words fail us when we undertake to speak of her life. Jennie was a Christian. Her ' piety spoke through her cheerfulness, and above all through that affection which embraced all who loved the Lord Jesus Christ. Service were conducted by her pastor Rev. E. H. Peters, at the M E. church Monday I afternoon Oct. Bth. Last Saturday’s Portland Review in speaking of the Steed case which was defaulted here several days Ago, said: Homer Charleston who went on the four hundred dollar bond of Frank Steed for the latter's appearance in the Adams circuit court on a charge of assault and battery on William Dickerson with attempt to kill, had to forfeit the bond this week when the case came up for trial. Steed couldn’t keep out of trouble so his next dastardly act after his assault on Dickerson was an attempted criminal assault on Miss Gertrude Shepherd, a daughter of Emory Shepherd of this city, and for which he was compelled to leave thecountry or hang. This last case kept him from answering to the first charge and Mr. Charleston has received the much-deserved reward of the chump who goes on a bond to save from prison a man who ought to lay in jail the remainder of his natural life and go to penitentiary when he dies. Dr. J. XV. Younge of Fort Wayne, made his usual trip to Decatur last Monday, and during the day was "induced to address a few remarks to the Democratic Club of this city. Notices were accordingly posted thut the club and all others who desired to hoar the issues discussed could do so at headquarters at 7:30 o'clock that evening. When the appointed time came the club rooms were so crowded that the speaker could not get in, while on the outside stood hundreds of voters trying to fight their wav in. The chairman then announced that the two bands present would lead the crowd to the court house where the speaking would lx< held and where every one could hear. As the cheering crowd came down Second street, others along the street joined and the pro cession was certainly an inspiring one for the democrats. The court bouse was crowded when Hon. C. J. Lutz stepped forward and with a, few well chosen remarks introduced the speak er of the occasion, Dr. J. XV. Younge, of Fort Wayne. The doctor was until four years ago an ardent republican, was a soldier in the war of the rebellion and is well posted on all questions of the hour. His arraignment of the present administration was from the standpoint of one who thoroughly understands what he is talking about. He said: "I am not an orator, I am not a politician, I am not in the hands of anV political party or organization, but am simply here tonight to have with you ft heart to heart talk. Let us reason together and endeavor to find out which platform and which leader is the best for the toiler and common people.” His remarks were enthuiasticallv received.

The following marriage licenses i were issued the past week: John Dougherty and Mrytle Odle; Charles Bushnell and Ora Odle; Sanford S. Reynolds and Bertha Stuffer; Philbert E. Gase and Elizabeth Spuller. Johir S. Bowers, secretary of the | local office of the Logansport and ' Wabash Yalley Gas company, has been looking after affairs in the Jay | county field this week. He says the ! company has added over twenty new i wells and made other improvements which will enable them to give better I service this year than ever. Mary A. Pickett, living near the i line between Jay and Adams counties, I took a dose of rough on rats with I suicidal intent Wednesday night, but the quantity of the stuff swallowed I was too large. The physicians called I had to pry open her mouth before she would take an antidote. She refused to say why she had attempted to end her existence, and only remarked that she would not be here when a doctor calls again. • The state board of election commissioners. at a meeting Monday, decided to place the tickets on the ballots this year in the same order that was followed four years ago. This gives the Democrats first place, Republicans I second, Prohibitionists third and the Topulists fourth. Additional tickets will be placed according to the order in which they are filed with the board. The board discovered that the social | labor party has nominated a state gei ologist. This office is not to be filled lat this election and the party will be so notified. Don L. Quinn, who has been representing the Decatur Egg Case company. returned Monday evening from a several weeks trip through the east. He visited many of the principal cities of Pennsylvania. New York and Virginia, and is highly pleased with his initial tour from a business standpoint. However, he was just a little late to obtain his share of fall business, but believes he has made an aci quaintance and paved the way for an immense business in the way of orders i for the future. The Decatur Egg | Case company is becoming known over the country as a leader in the j manufacting business, and great praise is due the promoters and man ager of same. Don will leave shortly ! for another trip of a like nature ' through Michigan. Thomas R. Dennis, a teamster emj ployed by the Indiana Oil company, was almost instantly killed Tuesday i afternoon, about 5 o’clock. With sevI era! other workmen he was assisting ' in the erection of an oil derrick, a mile i east of Geneva, and had succeeded in I elevating the huge structure about I twenty feet. Thesederricksareraised | by means of a team of horses, and is kept in position by stakes. When the derrick had been raised as stated above, Dennis went under the same to [ pick up a chain which was needed, and as he did so one of the stakes gave | way and the heavy timbers fell, catching him before he could get away. His neck and back were broken, and , his right shoulder, hip and leg were . crushed. He lived ten minutes after I the accident, but never regained coni sciousness. He was fortv-seven years I of age and an honest and upright citiI zen. Tw > children, a son about twen-ty-four yeais of age, and a daughter ) of about fifteen, are thus left to care I for themselves, the mother having died . several years ago. The funeral ser- : vices will be held at Geneva today.

James H. McMullen, a young man twenty-four years of age. residing with his parents just across the Jay county line near Bryant, committed suicide Friday evening by drowning himself in a well. He had been sick for several days with typhoid fever and this it is believed affected his mind and caused him to do the rash deed. He was however believed to be improving and no one was in the room with him, his father having laid downjn an adjoiging room to rest, while the mother and a brotheo were out doing theeven ingchores. The father was awakened after a time bv footsteps and recog nizing his son s walk, ran out in the hallway just in time to see James rushing from the house. He ran after him, calling his name, but was unable to check the boy, who went directly to the open well in the yard and jumpisl in. The father rushed tc the rescue and taking hold of the ro|x< started to pull him up, but when a few feet out of the water the ro|x» snapped and all hopes of saving the son were gone. Neighbors were called and after an hour’s work the body was recovered. The young man was unmarried and was an employee of the Indiana Oil Company, being held in high esteem by everyone. His parents and friends an* heartbroken over the and affair. The coroner's verdict as returned was as follows: In the ease of James H. McMullen, whose death occurred Oct. 5, 1900, at the residence of his father, James R. McMullen, residing in Bearcreek tp., Jay county. Ind., after having held an inquest over his dead Ixsly on Oct. 5 and 6. P.MM), I find that his death was caused by drowning at his own hands while teinporarily deranged in mind as a result of fever. R. Brokaw, Cor oner. Jay county, Ind. The funeral services were belli Sunday morning at 11 o’clock.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

NUMRER 31

The semi-annual meeting of the Indiana Municipal League began at Richmond Wednesday, continuing its sessions over Thursday and Friday; and during that time the city will extend hospitalities to the representatives of the large number of Hoosier cities which belong to the organization. For some time much preparation has been made by the Richmond authorities to extend to all persons who attend the session a proper welcome, and that this will be done goes without saying, as Richmondites are noted for their hospitality. Mayor Beatty and City Electrician Mylott are in attendance, John Fnsinger, the popular horseman, arrived home Sunday from Germany where he had been for several months looking after business for the firm of Frisiuger, Gerber & Sprunger. While in foreign lands he purchased a number of high grade stallions which arrived Friday. There are fourteen head, all of which but two still belong to the firm, two having already been disposed of. The animals are fine lookers, and of various colors and weight, but all handsome. They will be sold at private sale by the firm and we anticipate that they will have but little trouble in disposing of the entire stock. A. J. Harrison and Mrs. Nudy Harrison, his wife, were on trial in the Adams Circuit Court Monday, charged with attempting to defraud the Park hotel out of their board bill. The state was ably represented by Prosecutor D. E. Smith, and the defense by Peterson & France. The case was filed upon information from Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Myers, proprietors of the hotel, and they were the principal witnesses. The testimony was concluded at 3:30, and short arguments setting forth the rights of their clients were made by Messrs. Smith and Peterson, after which Judge Heller read the charges to the jury and they retired for delilx*ration. They weighed the evidence carefully and studied well the law as given them, and the result of the first ballot was seven for conviction anil five for acquittal. They continued to vote for about fifteen hours, with but little change, and at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning, being no nearer a decision, were dismissed by the court. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison were the organizers of the Ben Hur tribe here and the case attracted considerable attention from their friends. The case has been reset for the seventh Friday.
