DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1901.

Peter Laurent wore a broad and | happy smile Thursday on account of the arrival of a valentine in the way' of a handsome daughter. A fire of small proportions and no : loss of any cdnsequence, occurred at I Patterson s mill Tuesday evening about seven o’clock and created some excitement fora short time. “Red” O’Connor of Fort Wayne, who became famous there several years ago in handling the Kansas City Sunday Sun, wae in town this week representing the Collier Magazine Company. R. J. Holthouse will leave Mondav for Columbus, Ohio, where he will select samples for his spring travels and otherwise amuse himself while a guest of the famous Wolf Bro's. Shoe Company. He will lx* absent about a week. Miss Lizzie Peterson has been prevented from attending to her duties as teacher at the west ward on account of an aggravated attack of quinsy. Thanks to the services of her physician Dr. J. S. Boyers, however, she is ' now on the road to recovery. T. R. Moran has been chief cook and general manager at his home for a week past, the entire family save i himself being bedfast with the popular epidemic, lagrippe. All are improving | now and T. R. expects soon to get a I little rest from his wearisome duties. At the Rathbone Sisters entertainment Tuesday evening Miss Gustie Cramer was awarded a handsome gold watch as being the most popular young lady in Decatur. Miss Cramer received 874 votes defeating her competitors easily. Misses Bertha Hart, Bernice Peterson, Agnes Schrock, and Mary Heffner were also candidates. The affair netted the order something over SIOO. A company of pleasure, rest and health seekers composed of John S. Bowers, R. K. Allison and E. X. Ehinger, of this city, and A. G. Briggs, of Geneva, will leave Saturday night for a three weeks sojuurn through the sunny south. Most of their time will lie spent in Flordia, where the wintry blasts so popular here now are indeed : a rare luxury. The Ixiys expect that by their return the backbone of the Indiana winter will lie considerably broken. Says a recent issue of the Huntington News-Democrat: The funeral of j Leslie Finney, who lost his life in a i wreck near Wren, Monday morning, I was held Wednesday afternoon at his j late home one and ahalf milesonthof Valparaiso. Two hundred and fifty or more were in attendance from Vai paraiso and a delegation from Huntington. There was a beautiful display of floral offerings, among them a handsome pillow from the B. of L. F. of this city. The following Erie boys acted as pall bearers: Sam Oswalt, Richard Cole. John Horn, John Trov inger John Rauley and M. A. Miller. Several young men who have been employed at the Egg Case Company, decided last Friday that they were not getting enough money for their work and decided to strike. They accordingly went to the general office and made their demands, being very promptly informed that their services would no longer be required. Nine men were discharged, but strange to say the wheels still move round and no one seems to have suffered from their efforts but the strikers them i selves. It’s a little cool around the | edges now, and if any of the boys are thinking of a like move, our advice would lie “hang on 'till butter spreads easier than at present.” The reception and supper at the Beery home on north Second street Thursday afternoon and evening was all that invited guests could have anticipated. The entertainments were given by Mrs. D. W. Beery, Mrs. D. B. Erwin and Mrs. C. E. Neptune, and all who attended have spoken most highly. In honor of the occas sion the house was beautifully decorated with red and white bunting. During the reception from three to five nearly 150 ladies were entertained, while the dinner was attended by about fifty people. Following the latter affair came an evening of rare enjoyment in which all present seem to have delighted themselves to the full limit.

When the local officers of the lecture course club concluded their investigations they found that they had money enough in the treasury to pay a dividend to ticket holders of twentythree cents. They coresponded with the Ridpath Bureau at Chicago, under whose direction the course was lining given and were informed that if thepeohere so desired they could have the privilege of hearing Father Nungent, the great lecturer, instead of taking back their money. Rev. Nungent was one of the principal aPractions of th<» course and after a cauv as of ticket holders, most of whom were in favor of hearing him, it was decided to take this method of dosing the business. In accordance with this arrangement Father Nungent will appearat Bosse’s opera house on the evening of March 9, and all holders of season cards can at this time make use of them. General admission will Im fifty cents and a crowded house is expected.

George L. Saunders, at one time part owner of the Portland Sun, and a newspaper man of considerable knowledge and experience, is now engaged on the Bluffton Banner, much to the credit of that newspaper. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent in the; Catholic church. At Saint Marys church in this city appropriate services were held and the season will be strictly observed throughout. Martin Christianer and family left today for Holdredge, Nebraska, at which place they will make their future home.

Y’ager & Hite will be the owners of same, which will locate on the Barkley lot. The building will be frame and is to be occupied by the owners with a grocery and restaurant. Rev. C. G. Hudson addressed the members of the Knight's of Pythias lodge at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon, this lieing the annual pythian sermon. The services were appropriate to this great fraternal order and were most highly appreciated by the large number present. State vs John Albright is the title of a criminal case filet! in the circuit court last Friday. The charge is larceny, and John is alleged to have taken one king bolt, valued at two dollars, the property of the Decatur Egg Case Company.

Hardision of this place. This is No. 4 well on that farm, which is adjoining the Tumlinson and Hawley farms on which are the famous oil wells. The well just drilled is on the Studabaker farm, has been flowing oil ever since Saturday at the rate of 15 barrels per hour. They had then drilled only one foot in the sand where they usually have to drill about 20 feet and the oil began flowing. The well has not been shot yet at this writing. In the Ohio City News of last week appeared the following incident of the Chicago & Erie wreck near Wren: While the physicians were looking to the wants of the wounded at the Erie wreck last. Monday morning, a German of rather large dimensions, appealed to Dr. Musgrage for help, stating in a broken way his breast was hurting him. The doctor immediately took charge of the ease amd amid groans and pleadings to lie careful he proceeded to unbutton the man’s shirt front. On finding another he repeated his task only to find another and then another until fifteen shirts were found to lx* protecting his manly form from the wintry blasts, but no trace of a wound could be found. Mayor Beatty presided over a special meeting of the city council Thursday evening, the session being called to hear a report of the committee on sewers, regarding the long talked of Elm street sewer in the south part of the city. Five members were present and after the roll call the ordinance providing for the construction of a sewer and branches thereto, beginning on Elm stn>et and running in a varied course through the various streets of south Decatur, so as to benefit everyone, was read and upon motion adopted. The vote stood: Aye Niblick, Hiielling, Myers and Mann: Nay, Suttles. The new ordinance was ordered published in the Decatur Democrat and the meeting thereupon adjourned. The Elm street sewer project has lieen the*cause of a great 1 amount of dissatisfaction among residents of that part of the city to Is* taxed and there will bea remonstrance 1 filed to the ordinance.

About seven years ago he I was working at the printer's trade at ' Toledo, Ohio, when he was stricken ! with a hemorrhage. Since then he j has been a constant sufferer with slow I consumption until his life finally ' ebbed away. He became only a ; shadow of himself and his friends looked for death as a result of any of I his frequent hemorrhages. He was 1 35 years of age and had resided here I most of his lifetime. The funeral i services will be held from the residence this afternoon, Rev. C. G. Hud 1 son officiating.

Being bankrupt he will probably board with Sheriff Erwin about three W’eeks. They were living in a hut just north of town in Root township, and as they claimed no doubt were ignorant they were violating any laws. The woman is in a sad plight and authorities decided to take her to the county farm.
