Policeman Joe Spies, of Cleveland, Ohio, returned home Tuesday evening after’a week’s visit with friends and relatives here. Marriage Licenses: John W. Bwl to Margaret C. Mills; Win. E. Walter to Ida Michael; Henry F. Scherry to Anna L. Krentzman. geerv & Lynch will have another of their large sales of Dakota horses at the Mackinaw stock yards, Celina, Ohio, tomorrow. Seventy-five heed are to lie disposed of. There is being a burial association organized in this county with headquarters in Decatur, that we think would be to the interest of our citizens to encourage. We will explain more fully in our next issue something of its merits. Henry Waggoner and Edward Moy era, two well known young farmers of the county, left Monday for Riverside, California. They expect to remain in that golden country permanently if things appear as bright for them after arrival as they are purported to be. Did you ever notice the picture of the poor fellow who stands in the first picture of the almanac, with the fish and sheep and scorpions and bulls and twins, etc., around him. Did you notice that he is naked and has nothing in his stomach .’ Weli, that fellow used to edit a newspaper. T. S. McCullough, for several years night operator at the Chicago A Erie in this city and who accepted a position with the Clover Leaf at Bluffton a few weeks ago, has been promoted. He is now a dispatcher in thedivision offices at Frankfort. Mac was very popular here and his friends are glad to learn of his success. Next Sunday, the first Sunday of advent, marks’ the beginning of the ecclesiastical year for Catholics. During advent no marriages will take place. The forbidden time for the mar iage rite begins with advent and lasts till Jan. 6, the day on which is celebrated the feast of the Epiphany, or, as it is sometimes called, “Little Christmas.” Advent is a time of pennance spent for the great feast of Christmas, the nativity of Christ. From the Frankfort Crescent we glean the following bit of news: “The members of the Twentieth Century Club enjoyed a six o’clock dinner yesterday at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. James McClamroch. Following the repast the regular program was taken up and concluded. Miss Dora L. Peterson of Decatur, who is visiting Mrs. H. F. Campbell, was an out of town guest. Tonight, at their home, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell will entertain the club in honor of Miss Peterson." A special telegram from Toledq, 0., says: The oil operators in the Trenton rock fields of Ohio and Indiana are indignant over the slashings in the price of the crude product by the Standard Oil Co. It is rumored that the decline in the price is due to the striking of the two gushers on lands owned by Copley and Turner, in Weston county, West Virginia, and that the production of the entire fields do not warrant a decrease in the price. Winter is just settling and usually the prices advance. The indications are that there will be a combination of the oil producers and a gigantic company formed to oppose the Standard.

The curious charm of tho East holds every imaginative mind that from afar dreams of its mysteries. The like charm interpreted in part by experience, yet only the more subtly persistent, dominates those that have dwelt long in the Orient. In this treasure-field lie richest gems, as well of realism as of romance, ready for the author who has the art for their setdug. Rudyard Kipling won his first fame by short stories of life in India, stories al times tragically prosaic, at times marvelous and mystical, always Pregnant with force. And now again Kipling has chosen India as the theme of his matures! worn. In McClure's ®agazine for Decemlier appears the first installment of “Kim,” the latest ■nd most important novel from Kipling’s pen. From the beginning it f'veals itself as a masterpiece, worthy ■like of its theme and of its author. About forty members of the Decatur Tritieof Ben Hur went to Portland •Saturday, and assisted, by doing the t"am work, in the initiation of forty inemliers into the Portland Court No. bo, an entirely new organization for ‘hat city. Every one who attended rt’ports a tip top time and say the hospitality of the Portlandites cannot lie excelled, Following the initiatory Part of the exercises an elaborate banquet was served, ami that’s where our People were at home. It's said that the way they cleaned up that part of program would have clone credit to ■nv of the old Romans so vividly dein Lew Wallace’s world famed oen Hur.” State Organizer Carter, Crawfordsville, was present and prusided over the meeting, while all team work was executes! by the ooge from this citv. In speaking of io affair the Review said: "The De ftt'ir team which conducted the ini"‘tory work made for itself an excel •'bi reputation and for a knowledge • “ ow to execute every move doubt’*BS stands second to none among the «anis of Eastern Indiana.”

Mrs. John H. Heller entertained at I six o clock dinner last evening. Among ‘he guests vrere Mrs. Frank Aan Wert, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. I). F Quinn and Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Bell. ’ Ira Hower and Miss Harriet Gilson were married at Anderson yesterday and are now in the city the guests of relatives. Ira is an old Adams county boy and we tender congratulations for the future happiness of himself and w no. Mr. Burton, the Philadelphia traveling salesman, who has been selling the Decatur merchants for more than thirty-five years, has been confined to his room at the Burt house the past week suffering from rheumatism in an acute form. J. W. Place shipped three cars of dressed poultry tor the eastern mark-1 ets for Thanksgiving and now claims I that his Xmas shipments will even beat this record. As a shipper of poultry, Mr. Place is becoming a pronounced factor. The Van Liew murder case was detailed in last Sunday’s Chicago American with illustrations. Pictures of all the parties, the scene of the terrible murder and the defendant’s appearance in court were given together with a full account of the crime and the incidents which followed. New music just received from the publisher, Flanner’s music house, Milwaukee, Wis., two of his latest publications, “’Twas But a Dream,” by Protheroe, a beautiful sentimental song for a good singer, and • Morning Glory,” by Lambert, a piano piece en dorsed by leading teachers for young pupils. Either piece sent by mail for 25 cents. Among the new cases filed in the Adams county circuit court this week is one on change of venue from Jay county, entitled Lowe et al. administrators of the estate of William New ton vs. [lra Butcher et al. William Newton is the wealthy fid bachelor, who it will be remembered was burned to death at his home near Portland a year ago. The case is one to collect a note of S6OO and S2OO attorney j fees from Ira Butcher and wife. Since our last week’s issue five new cases, entitled as follows, have been filed with the clerk of the circuit court: Elizabeth Able vs. Win. Able, divorce. Julius J. Hafer vs. Marotta Hendricks, partition; state of Indiana for use of B. A. Batson as drainage commissioner vs. Peter Holthouse, demand S4OO. Thomas P. Harris vs. Emeline Harris, divorce. Lowe & Haynes, adm'rs of the estate of William Newton vs. Ira Butcher and Christina Butcher; foreclosure. SIOOO. Yesterday afternoon at two o’clock at the Lutheran church. Preble, were conducted the last sad services over the remains of Miss Rose Meyer, one of the most popular young ladies of Preble township. Her death occurred Sunday evening from consumption, with which terrible disease she had been struggling for several months. She was twenty-one years of age and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.! Henry Meyers, who reside in about j the center of Preble township, just a j mile north of the town of Preble. Her death, just when entering womanhood, is indeed sad. and her parents and loved ones have the sympathy of all.

Thomas P. Harris has filed suit for divorce against his wife Emeline Harris, and says that they were married January 7, 1899, and lived together as husband and wife until Feb. 27, 1900. That defendant has been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment by treating plaintiff with coldness and refusing to speak to him for many days, that she would often leave the house without telling said plaintiff where she had been and at these times would remain away several days; that she refused to cohabit with him and said she hated him worse than a dog: that she called him at various times vile and obscene names. For these and other reasons said Harris prays that the bonds of matrimony heretofore existing lie dissolved and that he Ice granted a divorce. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were rosidcuts of this city for some time but now reside at Monroe. Diphtheria in a most dangerous and malignant form has broken out in all surrounding towns and a number of deaths are reported each day. Decatur so far has oscapwl but it behooves us to lie strictly on the lookout for the first appearances, if they should come, and stamp them out quickly. Among the near by towns who have been suffering are Redkey, Bluffton, Portland and Craigville. Speaking of the latter the Bluffton Banner recently said: "Craigville and vicinity has been vis ited by that dread disease, dipthena. Several cases occurred some weeks ago and the daughter o Jerry Wil Hams and wife, who died one week ago. of heart failure and other complications brought on by the thought to lie the last one afflicted. Last Thursday Mary, the four yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M vers, whoresides at Craigville, WM attacked by the disease in a most violent form. She died Sunday morning at 9 o'clock and was boned talay. This ca* came most unexpectedly » it was Imp'd and thought that thedisease was stamped out. It is hoped no more outbreaks will occur.

BE( ATL R, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1900.

Will Reiter, the bright young druggist. who is taking a course in pharmacy at Purdue University, Lafavette, «_as at home over Sunday, the guest of his mother and other ’friends. He returned to school Monday. Christmas presents are already bemg looked for and our merchants are preparing for an enormous holiday trade. If you want to buy the best and the cheapest read the announcements in the Democrat from now on. John Fetzer, the bicycle man, has sprung a new line of business on the boys, and, by the way, he’s got them on the run. He has staked off one side of his room and is running a shooting gallery, one of the old fashioned three for five, every time you ring the bell you get a cigar, kind. John E. Captain, an Adams county farmer of many years’ standing, and one, too, who has been successful in farming, has sold his home near Honduras and purchased a tract of land in Wells county, three miles east of Bluffton, to which place he is moving, with a view of m iking that his future home. The Indiana anti-saloon league, which has undertaken the crusade for temperance reform measures, has begun the task of securing through local leagues, the names of 100,000 voters that can be relied on to support the temperance legislation. These names will be kept at the state headquarters at Indianapolis, and Superintendant Helt sa that twenty-four hours’ no-' tice any time during the legislative session will be sufficient to enable the temperance leaders to swamp the legislature with petitions. If the reports that come from Geneva are true that place is destined to become one of the greatest oil centers in the I nited States. As a general rule an oil well, producing 50 or GO barrels of oil a day is counted a very good one, but it is getting to be no uncommon thing at Geneva to have a well with a producing capacity of 100 or more barrels a day. A well has just been completed on the Everett Woodruff farm, between Geneva and New Corydon, which is showing 100 barrels a day, according to reports. This is one of the many marvelous wells which have recently been developed in the Geneva oil field. Bluff ton Banner.

Mayor Beatty has issued his proclamation for today as follows: The President of the United States has, by proclamation, set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November, 1900, as a day of Thanksgiving; and as the citizens of the City of Decatur have been as abundantly blessed as the people of any other portion of the United States, it is earnestly requested of them that tbey put away the cares of business and labor on that day, and devote the same to prayer and earnest devotion to God the Giver of all; and that we each, as individuals, make inquiry as to the wants of the needy, and that we extend reliel to them so far as our means will allow-, remembering that it is "more blessed to given than to receive.”' Today is Thanksgiving, that sacred holiday when we give due thanks to our Creator for our lives, our health, our liberty. It will be generally celebrated ever the entire United States in a fitting manner. Most appropriate services will be held at the Methoilist church this morning; for which 1 occasion the following program has I been arranged: Anthem, choir; invocation, Rev. Kline; hymn, choir; reading of proclamation, Rev. Hudson; scripture lesson. Rev. Gather; song, choir; prayer. Rev. Martz; anthem, choir; sermon. Rev. Duckett; collection; benediction; Rev. Duckett. Fol--1 lowing this part of the day comes the turkey and cranberry sauce and many 1 a happy gathering might be noted at i dinner time in this city, Agreeable 1 to Mayor Beatty’s proclamation, which appears elsewhere in this issue, business houses are dosed and the day is one of thanksgiving, Gast & Meyers, managers of Mrs. M. Fullenkamp’s dry goods and grocery store, are certainly hustlers. The stoie since they have taken control has undergone a very marked change, as may lie readily seen by a glance at the inside of their up-to-date establishment. The upstairs, which is to be used for theearpet and lace curtain display rooms, have been repapered, rearranged and present a bright, airy, attractive appearance, the better enabling them to display their mammoth stock of these articles. Down stairs the change is equally marked; every piece of goods having been carefullv gone over and arranged in a new position. During their clearance sales the last ten days they have had an enormous business as they have proven to their customers that the goods on hand must be sold at any ■ price. As may be seen bv their an | nouncemeut in another column, these I sides will be continued throughout ■ this week and next and a visit to their store will convince you that they mean what they say. The show windows have also been arranged to catch the i eye of the passer and some good bar-1 gains in ladies’ and children’s wear are displayed, k’ew goods are coming in ! rapidly and the boys will soon have , one of the cleanest, brightest stores in . the city.

j A shooting contest at Fetzer’s galj lery last night created a bushel of fun for “de gang" who loaf thereaabouts and others. Fristoe’s smoke house, in the same room, also had several shooting contests, mostly dice, with turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens as prizes. In all something like ■ a hundred feathered animals were . given away. George Van Camp, who has been j employed in the Vancamp & Buhler I mills here for some time, has resigned and will leave at once to accept a po- . sition at Jackson, Michigan. His place here has been taken by a brother, W. H. Van Camp, who removed here from Linn Grove last week. George will remove his family to Jack- , son at once. i Four tired looking individuals were before Mayor Beatty yesterday morning charged with vagrancy. They > gave their names as John Jones, Harry Smith, John Cool and Jacob Wiler. One of the men who said his true name was George Clark had the ap- ! pearance of being honest, told a i straight story and was released. The i other three were fined a dollar bill and ' costs amounting to about ten dollars, i and were ordered to work the sentence j out upon the streets at a dollar per day. The annual meeting of the Y. P. S. C. E. will be held this year at Lafayette and will commence on today j The convention gives promise of ■ being the largest meeting of Christian young people ever held in the state. A double meeting will be held in two of the largest churches in the city, and will continue over Sunday. The two large choruses under leaders of national fame have been arranged by Prof. E. O. Exell, of Chicago, and will furnish music for the twin conventions. One of these will be under the direction of Prof. Exell and the other under Prof. W. White, of New Jersey.

The Bluffton Chronicle issued yesterday speaks of Decatur people thus: “Attorneys R. K. Erwin and R. S. Peterson, of Decatur, and J. A. Hindman, were in court Monday, the former two being engaged on the Bolds case and the latter on probate work. Mr. Erwin is the newly elected judge of Adams county, succeeding Judge Heller. Mr. Erwin does not take his place for a year. The Bolds case will present quite an array of legal talent. Peterson, Erwin and Dailey, Simmons & Dailey defending, and L. C. DeVoss, D, E. Studabaker, and Prosecutor Moran, Burns and Smith for the state. It comes up Monday next with 75 witnesses and will last all week.” Every morning about 7 o’clock, an hour before the conservative business men of Van Wert are at their places of business, a dignified, stately man may be seen walking in the direction of the county jail, writes the correspondent of a metropolitan daily who is in Van Wert. That man is John Van Liew, cashier of the First National bank of Van Wert, and one of the most honored men in the county. He is on his way to see his wife, awaiting trial on the charge of having murdered Alice Hammel. Three times a day at least the husband walks with bowed head and preoccupied air to his wife’s cell. All his spare time he spends by her side, cheering and encouraging her. The entire community stands ready to extend him sympathy, but he will have none of it. In the bank he is courtly and polite as ever, but at the first suggestion of conversation on the subject which must bo heaviest on his mind he deftly turns it into another channel. The following article from the Steuben county Republican, Angola, of last Wednesday’s issue, will interest many of our readers as the groom, Mr. F. R. Holmes, is one of Adams county’s popular teachers: “At the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Watters, near Fremont, Indiana, their daughter, Cora A., was united in marriage with Franklin R. Holmes, of Steele, Indiana, Elder C. S. Medbury, of Angola officiating. Quite a company of relatives and friends were the invited guests of the occasion and many elegant presents testified the high esteem in which the contracting parties are held. The ceremony was unique in character, but proved to lie most happily planned. Following an appropriate vocal solo by Mrs. Ernest Watters, the bridal party approached a prettily decorated bower of lace ami flowers where the sacred vows were spoken and the symbolic ring was given and received. Miss Linnie Watters presided at tho organ. Mr. Merl Watters and Miss Ina Michael I were tho attendants, while little Ethel Fulmer, a niece of the bride, carried the ring. After the ceremony Chas. Noyes, the caterer, served a dainty wedding supper, tho intervals between die courses being filled in with appro I priate music by Miss Watters and n j recitation by Miss Vella VanAuken.' Mr. and Mrs. Holmes will live in Steele, Indiana, where Mr. Holmes teaches in tho public school. Tho Republican speaks the sentiment of a large number of friends when it specially congratulates Mr, Holmes upon his conquest of one of Steulien county's fairest and most highly esteemed daughters, and wish the bride abundant jov in the new home to which she has gone forth.”

The shooting match at the farm and home of John Schurger was a success. It took place Tuesday and some thirty ducks, with that many geese and many turkeys were carried away by those successful in besting their competitors in the games that there ensued. Ed Haefling had a strong hankering for ducks and his desires were surely gratified as it took a wagon and a strong team of horses to bring home the fruits of his success. A party of hunters bound for the wilds of Arizona, left here the latter part of last week for a three weeks’ sojourn after deer and other game. Among the party were Messrs. J. Q. Neptune and father, John and Frank Gidion, Messrs. Nittle, Miller, Helm and one or two others. John Frysinger expects to leave today for a visit with them during which time ho expects to show them up in the art of hunting. You can safely wager any amount that the crowd will enjoy themselves. Wade Waring, the popular clerk in the dry goods department of the Big Store, has resigned. He has been in ill health for several months and was compelled to be absent from duty several weeks, finally making another attempt to do indoor work but is now forced to retire permanently from such close confinement He will remove for the present to Dundee, Michigan, but 'f his health improves by January 1, he will accept a position as traveling salesman for Carson, Pierie, Scott & Co., large dry goods wholesalers of Chicago, with the state of Michigan as his territory, at which time he will remove his family to Lansing, Michigan. He is a clever gen tieman, a good salesman and We wish him well. Among the pleasant church and social gatherings for this season, few will be remembered longer than the reception given at the home Rev. and Mrs. H. C. Duckett Friday evening. The event was given by the pastor and officers of the Presbyterian church and those personages have long since gamed a reputation of never doing any thing by halves. So it was on this occasion. The lunch was splendid and the event filled with merriment and gaiety. Announcements had been sent out requesting that each who attended wear something about them to remind one of some well known author or his woiks and this was done, making everyone guess, and guess hard, too. Miss Wanda Weldy succeeded in carrying off the honors by successf illy naming more than anyone else.

Another oil well which will make the Blue Creek field famous came in yesterday on the Amanda Tumbleson farm. The well is a regular gusher and is said to be one of the best in the county. It will make one hundred and fiftv barrels per day according to predictions by oil mon. The Tumbleson farm is located in the southwest corner of Blue Creek township, just north of the Rawley farm and is four miles east and a mile north of Berne. For several weeks Harruff & Lenhart have been negotiating with Decatur parties to purchase the farm, which consists of one hundred and twenty acres of good land and the deal was to nave been consumated today. How ever, since the oil strike the owner has declared the deal off and our prospectors are no doubt a little blue over results. It was the purpose of our citizens to buy the land, organize a stock company and go into the oil business on a small scale. The following shows the disposal of cases in the Adams circuit court this week: State vs. Daniel P. Bolds, application by John Moran for appoint I ment of an additional attorney to as | sist in the prosecution of this case. D. E. Smith appointed by court. State vs. Ed N.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

NUMBER 3S

Samuel L. Sims, son of Joseph aud Delilah Sims, wasjborn in Blue Creek township, Adams county, Mav 31, 1877, and died at his home in ’Blue Creek township Nov. 1(1, 1900, aged 23 years, 5 months and 15 days. He joined the U. B. church at the age of 10 years, of which church he has been a faithful member ever since. During his religious life he was class steward for three years and was secretary of his Sunday-school at the time o’s his death. Sammy was a soldier of the 160th regiment of the SpanishAmerican war and was buried with the honors of war and by K. of P., of which he had been a member since he was 21 years of age. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor. Rev. Alexander, at the Union church, at 3 o’clock p. m.. Nov. 17th, after which the remains were taken to Willshire cemetery. He leaves a father, mother, two sisters, two brothers and a host of friends to mourn his loss.

Governor Mount announced Mon- ; day that he had decided that the two | constitutional amendments before the ! people at the recent election have not ' carried within the meaning of the law. ; The governor holds that as the highest vote received by either amendment is only 314,000, which is less than onehalf of the total vote cast at the election, the amendments have failed. In speaking of the matter the governor sad: “The constitution plainly says that an amendment tnnst receive a majority of the votes of all the electors. The secretary of state has given mo a certified statement of the votes I cast for and against the amendments. . According to that statement and what the constitution says I cannot declare the amendments carried.” When asked what action would likely be taken in the matter Attorney-General Taylor declined to talk, saying he had not consulted with the governor and therefore was not in a position to make a statement. He said, however, that it was likely an entire reorganization of the supreme court would be necessary. Comes now the grand jury for the November term and in open court submit the following to the judge of the Adams circuit court: We have examined sixty-four witnesses and returned four indictments, two for feloi nice and two for misdemeanors. We i visited the county farm and found the i farm and stock in good condition. The farm is in good condition and the stock is well cared for. We found thirty-seven inmates who were well i clothed and well fed and seemed to ! be satisfied with the surroundings as we learned from conversation with them. We found the rooms clean, the beds and bedding good and suffi- | cient. We sou by inspection of premises that there is great need for new and better buildings. The pres|ent buildings are not safe and are tinUit for the protection and comfort of the inmates. We visited the county I jail and found the same in good condition. Everything was clean and is ! kept in good order. We recommend that a partition l>e constructed so as to divide the cel! department so that the prisoners confined can be separated so that in case of an insane prisoner lieing confined there he can lie kept in a separate department from the rest of the prisoners. The Churchman, published at Oma--1 ha, Neb,, in speaking of the sad death of Mrs. Frederick J. Hill, told of her life in the following beautiful words; “It seems hard to realize that a life so full of beauty and promise has passed away from earth so soon. It seems only yesterday, that as a teacher in | our Sunday-school she gathered her little flock about her every Sunday, and we can see the happy, bright face of the young teacher as she interested 1 the children in their lesson,and taught them the way to heaven. Then came the day when she stood liefore the font and vowed a vow to be Christ's faithful soldier and servant until death, and then later the same dear child kneels before the bishop at the altar, and we see the bishop's hands laid upon her head and hear ‘Defend, O Lord, this thy child with thy heavenly grace that she may continue thine forever.' And then wo see her as a bride, plighting her vows of love and constancy to the one she loved, the child developing into the woman, later to have the crown of womanhood replaced by the diviner crown of motherhood! and her life is now at its best. No happier mother ever lived, nor one who more deeply realized the precious, sacred gift of love, which God had given her. Like a beatifnl bud which we have seen developing day by day into beauty and fragrance so seemed her life. The bud opening amd expanding under the light of the sun, and warmth of love, until at last the petals ofien and the beautiful flower appears, but even as we gaze and admire, the petals drop it seems as if the stem were broken and the beautiful flower is no more. In her Inst hours she craved the light, and the night before her departure prayed that she might again see the light of day. Her prayer was granted and in the full light of day this child of love passed on into that glorious land which has no ntssl of the sun. forGod and the Lamb are light thereof The child of the light, in the land of light forever."
