J. B. Evans, one of the few Blufftonites that it isn’t necessary to pinch to find him awake, was looking after his fruit tree business here several days last week. The delivery was a blooming success and Doc went home with several hundred shiuers that he did not know what to do with. The ordinary citizen over there would sell old musty rag weed for a blooming rose lied, so we bar all those for pure, unadulterated malpractice. But it is different with Doc. He has the best that grows, and he sells them at prices that have the twentieth century ring. The bars are down, Doc, so come ahead whenever the spirit moves you. The members of Kekionga Lodge, Knights of Pythias, will give a social entertainment at their lodge rooms next Monday evening.

Duckett of the Presbyterian church was simple and beautiful. The bride wore a dress of white mull and the groom the fashionable black. It'si queer bow secrets will leak out, but! such things will happen and Mr. and Mrs. Meyers had only been united a i moment when the Big Store’s famous Marine band made known the fact that they were on the s|x>t and fast and furious for a few minutes came one popular air after another until the bridal pair appeared and were willing to make any concessions which would cause a retreat.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1901.

Charles Ault, nineteen years of age, and son of James Ault, of this city, died at the county infirmary Thursday afternoon. Several weeks ago he was hurt while at work here and the injuries brought on a fever which caused his death. The funeral services were conducted Friday afternoon by Rev. Peters. Engle & Caldwell, the Winchester lawyers assisting in the defense of Joe Eicher and Frank Ruby, who are charged with the crime of forgery, are the best known criminal lawyers in Eastern Indiana. At their home and with odds even, it is like going up against the real thing, to be their opposing counsel. The case went to trial yesterday morning. David Stauffer, a well known farmer of Monroe township, died at his home Saturday evening of heart disease. He was about sixty years of age and had been a resident of Monroe township thirty years or more. He was an industrious and honest neighbor, a good citizen and an ideal husband and father. The wife and six children remain to mourn their loss. The funer'al services were conducted from the Mennonite church at Berne Tuesday. Two years ago last Saturday the members of company B. 160th 1. V. I. I arrived home after a year’s campaign in the Spanish-American war. Ai- ; though the time has been comparai tively .short, yet the boys are scattered I all over the world, several being in | the Philippines. Three of the boys have died since their return. Shuyler Weimer, who died in the Philippines, John Ault, killed on the railroad and Samuel Sims, who died of fever at his home near Wren, Ohio. Schurger & Smith, the well-known attorneys and real estate dealers, have closed a deal whereby they secure another lease upon their present office quarters for a period of three years. The rooms are to be remodeled, however, and when completed the office, which will hereafter occupy the entire floor, will be commodious and attractive. The partitions are to be changed and the painters and hangers are now getting readv to do some up-to-date decorating. Several new desks and other pieces of furniture will help give a metropolitan appearance to the rooms. At a recent meeting of the city board of school trustees, that liody very wisely re-elected Prof. H. A. ! Hartman as superintendent of the city schools for next year. The selection gives the best satisfaction to ■ all patrons, teachers and every one in general, as Mr. Hartman has been having good success in every way. In speaking of the selection one of the trustees said: “I never knew a man who could keep such harmony among teachers, pupils and patrons as Prof. Hartman. There has simply been no complaint worth mentioning from any one this year and the average of work done in the various departments is far above ordinary.” The board will select the teachers in l about a month.

The most decided change in railway time cards which has been made here for some time went into effect on the Clover Leaf last Sunday. The most radical changes are in the west bound passengers, the one due here at 3:50 a. m. now goes at 10:04 a. in.; the one due at 11:03 a. m. goes at 2:25 p. m. and the fast evening train which left at 9:17 now leaves at 10:48. The east bound trains have all been changed slightly, but not sufficiently to affect travel. They now leave at 5:33 a. in., 10:25 a. in. and 7:08 p. m. It is believed the change will lien efit Decatur considerably, especially the hotels i s travelers now have a west bound morning train without getting up in the middle of the night as has been necessary heretofore. Officials of the road say the change was made in order to give better service to the Buffalo Exposition. Jonce White, for several years a Luker at Colchin's restaurant, is believed to be dying as the result of a protracted spree at Bluffton. For some time he has been living with his family at Ada, Ohio, wnere he has prospered and saved some money and property. For several years he did not drink a drop, but last Friday left home for a few days visit with friends at his old home and he seems to have taken this opportunity to satisfy a terrible longing for liquor. He arrived at Bluffton Saturday night very drunk and continued to imbide until early Monday morning when he fell over in Yost’s saloon ana has since been unconscious. Physicians say he was affected withan asthmatic fit cao ,M < bv drink and that he will die. Mrs. White is a daughter of James Bell, of this county, and is known here as a most estimable lady. The Bluffton Chronicle spoke of the affair in part as follows: “Unconscious; gasping for breath, Jonce White is lying on a cot in the yanl of bis father. William White, on West Cheery street with relatives fanning cool air into his face and lungs. There is no chance of his recovery. Their only hope is to keep him alive until his wife can reach here on the five o’clock train from Ada, Ohio, to get a last view of him la fore his spirit wings itself to a higher tribunal.” Later reports say he is still alive and may recover.

The list of paid subscribers to the Democrat this week includes Ernst Kruckenberg, Indiana Bridge Co., L. A. Jackson, Michael Englehart, F. K. Schafer, Jacob Scherry, G. Everett, Joseph Shilling, J. L. Richards, Wm. Erwin, Perry Workinger, Geo, Appleman, Newton Wagoner, Jonathan Kelley and S. W. Hale. On May 8, 9 and 10, the semi-annual meeting of the Indiana Municipal League will be held at Columbus, In diaua. Very neat and artistic programs are already out, and the list of speakers includes the name of our townsman James T. Merryman, whose subject is “The new street improvement law.” Mr. Merryman is growing into popularity as a speaker upon occasions of this kind, and it is safe to say that he will highly entertain them at the time stated. The officers of the Women’s Relief Corps, department of Indiana, are preparing their annual reports for the meeting of the department at Logansport this month. There are 183 corps in the state with a membership between 6,000 and 7,000. The gain in membership for the year will be about 3,000. Mrs. Mary Swaim of Richmond, is said to be a candidate for department commander. The retiring president, Mrs. Laura Burr, will be a candidate for president of the national department. The Famo shoe polish company is the latest manufacturing industry to locate here, a branch factory having been opened recently in the rooms over Rose <& Bell’s plumbing shop. The plant is in charge of W. H. Smith who owns the patent and has been in the business for years. He also has similar concerns at Indianapolis and Cleveland, Ohio. His polish is said to tie one of the best on the market and is handled by nearly all dealers. He has several helpers employed and will soon increase the number. He decided upon this city as a favorable location on account of our shipping facilities.

The Assembly acts of the recent legislature are now out and are being distributed over the state. The volume is larger than the one of 1899. In all 23,000 copies of the acts of 1901 have been printed for distribution this year. This is 6,000 more copies than were printed two years ago. The extra number is due to a provision by the last general assembly that for each 1000 votes for secretary of state at the last preceding election- November, 1900 thirty-five copies of the acts of 1901 shall be printed. The counties will receive thirty-two copies for each 1000 votes recorded for secretary of state. Adams county will therefore receive 160 copies, the total vote for secretary of state being about five thousand. Joseph Eicher and Frank Ruby are again on trial in the circuit court, this case being a rehearing of their former trial in which a rehearing was granted by Judge Heller. The case began yesterday morning and will probably continue throughout the week as 112 witnesses have been subpoenaed. Attorneys Moran and Lutz are prosecuting and DeVoss, Caldwell and Engle are defending. The jury impanelled were Isaac Peterson, David Lehman, George Haeffing. Isaac Babcock. David Luginbill, Henry Stetler, David Crum. Dan Shackley, John P. Baker, Wm. Russell, H. H. Myers and Daniel Beiberick. Several expert witnesses, among whom are Hugh Daugherty, of Bluffton, and Charles McCullough, of Fort Wayne, are to lie examined and much interest is lieing manifested. At the former trial the defendants were found guilty and their punishment fixed at from two to fourteen years in the reformatory. Sam Koontz, the young man from Berne, who was arrested last Friday by Gaine Warden Brewster of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is now a free man. having been discharged at his prelim inary hearing Monday afternoon. Attorney John C. Moran received this news Tuesday from Messrs. Dart & Dart, attorneys for Koontz at I’etoa key, where he was taken for trial, and the voting man’s Adams county friends are exceedingly glad to hear the news. Koontz went to Michigan about a year ago and resided there until just before election last fall when he came back to this county. Several of his friends [tersuaded him to vote, which he did, shortly afterward returning to Michigan, where he took out a resident's hunting license. The laws of Michigan require a man to be a bona fide resident of the state for six months prior to the taking out of a license which must be sworn to. Koontz did this, but the game warden found out he had voted here and at once secureu u, -requisition from Governor Mount for the man s’aira-A ui a chargepf perjury. At the time he could not locate Koontz who has tieen working for the Adams County Lumber Company at Ridgeville, but seems recently to have lieen made aware of his whereabouts. Any way he pounced down upon him Friday and took him to Petoskey where in the preliminary hearing he was discharged. Sam is a fine young man and the whole affair seems to have been a misunderstanding on the part of Brewster who was too anxious to secure his fee. which would have been due him had he succeeded in securing a conviction.

The high school students are making great preparations to go to Portland tomorrow, where they will attend the Eastern Indiana oratorical contest. Robert Schrock and Charles Addles perger are the Decatur representatives and they will be supported by 150 “rooters” headed by their mascot, George Martin. A moving picture show in the Niblick building on Second street did a good business Friday and Saturday. They intended to stay a week longer, but on account of some clash with the authorities they decided to move, and did so, going west on the Clover Leaf Sunday morning. They had a splendid performance for ten cents and the program proper was a clean one. However, they had an after show, which, as they termed it, was real spicy and this is the part to which the officers objected hence the flight. Two reservations in the Indian Territory are to be opened to settlers this fall and 13,473 tracts of 160 acres each will lie given to homesteaders at $1.25 per acre. Unlike the rush to the Cherokee strip the selection of these lands will be made in a methodical way and everyone given a fair chance. The government has arranged a monster drawing contest and those who hold the lucky numbers will be permitted to enter the territory first and select their lands. The drawing progressing from day to day until all the lands are allotted. Several Decatur people are arranging to be on the spot and get a slice of the alottments if possible. Union township farmers are made of the right stuff, and know a good thing when they see it. They came down with S6OO and some other extras. and in payment of which a test oil well will be drilled upon the land of Ferdinand Blakey. Timber for the derrick is now being made to order and within two weeks the drill should begin to descend and a week later the fate of the test will be known. Following this the territory in south Washington township will receive the benefit of a test, the landowners in that region having about raised the necessary amount for a well. If Decatur or its surroundings are within the oil belt, this fact will become known before the Decatur Oil and Gas Company ceases to exist. After more than thirty years of married bliss and happiness Mary Jane Evertt is now asking for a divorce from her husband, Barnabus Everett, the case having been recently fileci in court. The complaint was filed by attorneys Erwin & Erwin and alleges that they were married in May, 1868, living together as husband and wife until last Sunday. During the last four years it is claimed the defendant has been guilty of gross and inhuman treatment in various ways, among w hich are cursing and beating her, driving her away from Dome and using obscene language in the presence of their children. Other cruelties are also mentioned which if proven will certainly cause a grantalof the pajiers asked. During their married life nine children have been born to them, four of whom are minors, ranging in age from eleven to nineteen years. The custody of said children, the sum of S2OOO alimony, a monthly sum for their support and all other and proper relief are prayed for. A restraining order has been issued to prevent the defendant from disposing of any property. The adams circuit court is grinding steadily along, business having lieen transacted this week as follows: State vs William Walker, larceny, nollied. State vs Evelyn Eckert, perjury, jury disagreed and upon motion of Prosecutor Moran case was nollied. State vs Henry McKinnie, rape, motion to quash overruled, bond fixed at SSOO and ease set for fifth Thursday.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

New cases have been filed in the Adams circuit court this week under the following titles: Eugene Lindsey vs Amos T. Dailey, et al, suit to quiet title. Mary Jane Everett vs Barnabus Everett, divorce and S2(XX) alimony.* Harmon Thomas and Hannah F. Erhart vs Frederick Thomas et al, partition and quiet title. State vs Jacob Swartz, unlawfully solemnizing marriage rites, three cases. State vs Isaac King, petit larcency. Hubert DeVoss left Saturday even ing for Texas, going byway of the Clover Leaf to St. Louis and thence to New Orleans. He received a tele gram Friday from his brother Arlie telling him to come at once, as he had a place for him with great possibilities. Hubert answered that he could not come, but upon receiving a more urgent message the next day decided to do so. Arlie has been speculating in the oil fields and it is said is making money fast. He has a lease upon a forty acre piece of land in the Beaumont territory, close to one of the great gushers, and the probabilities are that he will reap a harvest from it before many months. One ot the largest oil deals consummated in the Geneva oil field for some time was that by which the old firm known as Argue, McKisson & Co., of Toledo. Ohio, sold all their holdings in that section to parties from Chicago, 111., and Omaha, Neb. Rumors of a sale of some kind have been rife ever since C. K. McFadden went to Omaha a few davs ago, but the truth or magnitude of the sale were not known until Saturday when a telegram was received stating that the purchasers would arrive Monday. The property sold includes the Porter lease, which has long been considered one of the liest paying leases in the field and G. W. Bolds lease located about three miles northwest of Portland. This lease is only partly developed, but the wells drilled up to this date have all lieen good ones. The Robison lease northeast of Portland is almost a new one and is about developed. More than 600 acres near New Corydon, including the Fugle, Krauor and Woodruff leases are also included and nearly 200 acres of the new territory located east of Berne. As usual the consideration has been kept rather secret. It is reported that Mr. McKisson and G. W. Bolds will leave for the Texas field as soon as the final arrangements have been made. The marriage of William Loshe to Miss Lizzie Appleman was solemnized at the St. Mary’s Catholic church Tuesday evening, April 23, by Father Wilkens. The bridemaids were Misses Lena Appleman and Maggie Omlar and the groomsmen Louis Brickner and Joseph Appleman. After the ceremony, which was a most beautiful one, the happy couple returned to the home of the bride’s parents where they joined a crowd of friends and relatives and spent the day in feasting and entertainment. In the evening the happy young people took part in a grand dance in honor of the newly married couple and the occasion was a most enjoyable one.
