Opera house Tuesday, April 9. lloaudk''at ojiera house Tuesday, April 9. Hal Reid’s master piece “Roanoke.’? a t opera hAiise Tuesday, April 9. * The W. C. T. 17. will meet with Mrs. tllegar next Saturday, April ti, at 2:30 o’clock p- tn. The John Abbott Stock Company left Saturday night for Antwerp, Ohio, where they are showing this week. Dan Beery and Elmer Johnson are at Pittsburg this week attending one ,f the largest horse sales held in the country. Mrs. Tony Voglewede who has been very ill for several days past is reported better and some hopes are entertained for her recovery. Students of the Decatur public schools are enjoying a vacation on account of the teachers being absent to attend the annual institute at Anderson. The company producing Hal Reid's famous master-piece, “Roanoke,” is one selected from the original New York cast and you will see one of the finest productions of the season. J. W. Place has about recovered from his recent illness which has kept

him housed for a couple of weeks, and in a few days will be as sound as a new made dollar. The disagreeable weather retarded his recovery. At a recent meeting of the Shakespeare club Mrs. Jennie Clever of Westfield. New York, Mrs. Alice Stoops of Petersburg, .Indiana, and Miss Maggie Dorwin of Indianapolis were elected as honorary members. The “Hot Old Time” at the opera house Tuesday night is certainly well named. We have heard of 120 laughs in as many minutes but this is one of the few times that the performance was as advertised. Every performer was a star and the company was greeted with a large audience. A damage ease for 55.000 has been filed against Daniel Erwin et ftl by Jesse Hower who was placed in jail aliout two weeks ago charged with insanity. The case was brought by Mock A Sans, of Bluffton. Hower resides near Peterson. The G. R. & I. railway company were the first to station a flagman in the city, John McNamaran having entered upon his duties in thsjt capacity last Saturday at the Monroe street crossing. Louis Sietz entered ui>on similar duties at the Winchester street crossing for the Chicago & Erie on I Monday. The latter was for many I years an employe of the road and was , injured about a year ago. The com ! pany showed their loyalty to their men in appointing him for the present place. Both men are trustworthy and will prove faithful to the interests of the company and the eity.

Don’t miss the next attraction at opera house April 9. Don’t forget the big horse sale at Peoples' Riverside barn Saturday if you are looking for bargains. A full-flet !sed Chinaman by the name of Kee, has started a laundry in the Bremerkamp building just west of the Big Store. Woman is a wonderful progressive creature. Back in Adam’s time she was only a*side issue, but now is of more importance than the man. Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Bell entertained a few friends at six o'clock dinner Saturday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Cole. A Pleasant time was enjoyed, so ’tis said. Mrs. Harmon Bittner died at her home east of the eity at ten o'clock Tuesday evening of’ heart trouble. The funeral services will be held from the Blakey church this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The contractors for the Yager & Hite restaurant building near the C. & E. experienced a taste of tough luck Tuesday evening, when a large portion of the north cellar wall caved in. The accident will cause a several days delay. Yesterday was the 102nd anniversary of the birth of John H. Reed, the oldest resident of this part of Indiana. Uncle Johnny who is the hero of two wars, the civil and Mexican, is hale and hearty and bids fair to outlive many of a third his age. He has resided in this county nearly forty years and is known to every one hereabouts. The next attraciion at the opera house Tuesday, April 9, will be “Roanoke” one of Hal Reid's masterpieces, a melo-drama interspersed with good specialties. This company carry their own special scenery for this production, and it promises to be one of the finest attractions you have had the pleasure of witnessing this season. The company is first class in every respect, and have given universal satisfaction throughout the state. You will see one of the cleanest and most refined entertainments embellished with nice scenery and the stage settings will be perfect in every detail. t The February term is almost a matter of history, next Saturday lieing the last day. The court officials however, will scarcely know the difference as the April term begins next Monday. The coining term will close in June after which will come the long hoped for summer vacation. An unusual occurrence has happened this term of court, that being the hearing of criminal eases the last week. This was due to the fact that a number of arrests have been made within the last week, and it was thought best to recall the jury and dispose of the cases rather than make the defendants wait several weeks which would have been unnecessary.

“Roanoke" the attraction at the opera house Tuesday, April 9. Miss May Hill has sent cards to a number of her friends announcing that she will lie “at home” to them Saturday evening. The last week of court has been celebrated by the filing of the following new cases: State vs William Wiemer and Jerry Burkhead, petit larceny; State vs Gttis Wells and Frank Everett, petit larceny: Isaac Peterson and Abraham Boch vs Thomas I. Pierce et al, quiet title; Lydia Coots vs John T. Coots, divorce; Jesse W. Hower vs Daniel N. Erwin, et al, false imprisonment. Rev. Somerville Light, pastor of the Methodist church at Bluffton, addressed a large audience at the Ep worth League rooms in this city Friday evening. The affair was the closing attraction of the League lecture course. Rev. Light is an able man, an attractive speaker and did due justice to his well chosenjsubject, “Three-thirds a Man.” All who heard him were well pleased. Jury Commissioners George H. Martz and James Q. Neptune met at the clerk’s office Tuesday and selected the juries for the ensuing term. They are as follows: Grand jury, John W. i Cowans, D. W. Biteman, John Smith, John A. Mumma, S. S. Stevie and Martin Beery. Petit ' jury George W. Ray. Isaac Babcock, John Meshberger,David Lugenbill, Chris Hirshy, John N. Smitley, James Sullivan, Daniel Beiberiek, David Crum, William Russel, Sr., Jerry Andrews, Sr., and David Laman. The grand jury are ordered to report April Sth and the petit jury April 22. Bids for the construction of the Elm street sewer were opened at the council meeting Tuesday evening and the same will very probably be awarded at a special meeting to be held this I evening. There were seven bidders, namely, Deerheimer A Co., John S. Bowers, Calvin Miller, J. E. Roberts, Moats & Co., E. Woods & Son and Frank Brumbaugh. The latter was not considered, however, as he failed to accompany same with a certified check or bond. The bids were made at so much per foot for the building of brick and tile sewer of various dimensions and were in so many different items that it is impossible to say who is the lowest until same is thoroughly gone over. For this purpose a committee consisting of Messrs Haefling, Leßrun and Myers was appointed, who will confer with Engineer Fulk and report tonight when further action will be taken in the matter. The contractors admit that the award will be made to either John S. Bowers or Calvin Miller as they are considerably lower than any others, but their bids will figure pretty close. The sewer will be about two miles in length and the contract price will be in ihe neighborhood of? 15,000.
