A young man from Ohio has been causing some stir here this week by threatening to lick everyone in town who ever spoke to his girl. He has made a regular fool of himself and should go to some sanitarium for treatment before his condition gets any more serious. The civil service commission has modified its regulations so as to waive certain requirements of female appli cants in the examination for positions, including that of making them hop on one foot fora distance of twelve feet. Now many dignified American women can enter these examinations on an equal with their agile brothers. Three new cases have l»een filed in court this week and are entitled, Samuel Urikinger vs Lucy P.

Many presents were also given the hostess and a delightful even ing was devoted to social amusements. The quail law is out next Sunday and Decatur sportsmen are getting their guns and shells ready for a good big hunt bright and early Mondav morning. The little feathered birds are said to be even more plentiful this year than usual. Attorney John Anderson of Wells county anil Waller A. Hunt of Linn Grove were in the city Tuesday attending to business about the court house. While here they called on the Democrat and we found them first class clever gentleman. John W.

The bovs may bring home a good hunter if they find one to suit at the right price. One thing is sure, they will see some of the best in the world. There is no use of any subscriber of this paper having an item of news and not giving it to the editor. This is especially true when applied to those who have telephones. We would willingly miss a meal or anything to answer a telephone call and receive an item of news. This is saying much considering our revenous appetitte and the meagre rations alloted us.

The anple crop of the country this • year is the shortest in years. It is less j than half the crop of last year. In fact it has been a good many years since there was such a small crop of 1 apples. The estimate for the country ? is about twenty-three million barrels 1 while last year the crop reached forty- ‘ seven million barrels. r The story goes that Sam Jones in a ? sermon more cutting than usual, de nounced men who would go to any place they wouldn’t take their wives. ’ “You can’t deny it,” he shrieked. * “There is no place fit for you men to go yourselves if it isn't fit for you to ’ take your wivea to. “Oh, yes. there 1 is," cried a man springing to his feet. ■ “to hear Sam Jones preach." Recoreer Gallogly has been busy this week placing on his books copies of fifty leases for lands in Monroe and Blue Creek townships. The land is in the famous oil regions of Adams county, and the leases are owned by the Superior Oil Company. These documents take up about all the land heretofore unleased in the southeast part of the county. Two of the best oil wells everstruck in Adatns county came in last Thursday morning. They are located on the Mathias Miller and John Brush farms southeast of Berne, and each well is said to have an output of .’IM) barrels a day. At the present price which is about ninety cents per bar rel, such an event should stimulate business in that part of the county considerably. The engagemnent of J. E. Toole, the eminent German eumediau at the opera house Wednesday, Nov. 13, is undoubtedly one of the most pleasing events of the season. Mr. Toole is a favorite here, and it is very evident his performances will be signalized by a crowded house in this city. Mr. Toole will appear ou that night in the mammoth scenic production of Killarney and the Rhine. Mr. Toole will portray his great charatcter of Con rad the German. In this play the comedian will introduce nil his latest songs composed by himself, as follows: I Love for his Colleen, Little Bright i Eyes, Dancing in the Lane, Love in < bloom, and the sweetest song of all, i the Nightingale, which song is now ’ being sung in every household.

Ellingham was at Franklin, Indiana, Tuesday evening, attending the great democratic love feast and banquet. Tire gathering was a splendid one and nearly all the wheelhorses of Indiana democracy was present and delivered short addresses. Among them were Hon. Samuel Ralston, Hon. John W. Kern, Hon. Geo. E. Farrar and Senator Inman. A new club known as the E’Galante Club has been organized in this city, and they will celebrate their advent by giving a grand ball Thanksgiving eve. The affair is to be the greatest event of the kind given here in several years, and 150 invitations will be issued. The dance will be given at Meibers’ hall and we are promised more information concerning the affair soon.

Soldner, John John L. Mann and Minnie King. Jud E. Goodman and Alice Froner, Victor Delegrange and Rosa Schwartz, Josiah L. Chronister and Ida H. Newberry. Allen county’s big murder trial is ended and the fate of Charles Dunn is in the hands of the twelve jurymen. Whether he is guilty or not is still unknown, but his fate will probably be decided some time today. The case has continued fifteen days ana was a hard fought legal battle. The case went to the jury yesterday afternoon after a brilliant legal tournament in which the attorneys all did excellent work. New Feed and Sale Barn. J. M. Rice and son have leased the Boch barn on First street and have opened up a first-class feed, sale and boarding stable. Their best efforts will be put forth to please their patrons in every line, and the public pxtronago is respectfully solicited. Elmer Johnson will make headquarters at the barn and will buy good horses for the eastern markets. Call on us and see if we don’t treat you right. J. M. Rice & Son. 35-3 The change on the Chicago A Erie railroad went into effect last Sunday and since that-time as maybe perceived on their time card elsewhere in this issue No. 13 formerly due here at 6:15 p. m. goes through at 5:08 but doesnot stop, it having been made a fast express. This is th« only train which fails to stop at Decatur and this is done because express business here is not heavy enough to pay them to loose the time necessary for a stop. From this time on the freight trains do not carry passengers as heretofore and it will be well to keep these facts in mind if you are traveling over the Erie to any extent. The coming of J. E. Toole, the comedian, with his company of talented players to our city is a treat indeed for our theatre loving classes. Mr. Toole will be seen in his great character of Conrad, in the big scenic propuetion of Killarney and the Rhine. This is Mr. Toole’s ninth season in this great play, and like the great Joseph Jefferson, Joseph Murphy and the late J. K. Emmet, whom they adored, and crowded the theatres nightly to see him. Toole follows in his steps, as the people never tire list ening to his sweet songs and srains of pathos. Mr. Toole will appear with company next Wednesday, Nov. 13. A crowded house ought to greet him.

Wednesday night Mr. Toole will be j seen in the big scenic production of , Killarney and the Rhine with a com- , pany of excellent players. New costumes. new song and startling scenic effects. Read what the Pittsburgh, Pa., Dispatch says: "Last evening at ’ the opera house, Mr. J. E. Toole open- ' ed to and delighted a large audience in "Killarney and the Rhine.” Mr. 1 Toole, who reminds one very much of 1 tin* late J. K. Unmet, is one of the most capable actors that has appeared * on the opera house stage. His quaint humor kept his auditors constantly amused, and his pretty songs, the kind which reach the heart, were thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Toole is ably assisted by Miss Lillian DeWoolf and a company of merit Sept. 10,1901. Resolutions in Memorial). Hall of 1 Sam Henry Post No. 63, G. A. R.

FOLLOWED THE LEADER. A Case Where Xnvnl Cadets Turned Discipline Into a Joke. Among other good stories told by Cyrus Townsend Brady in his “Under Tops’ls and Tents," published by Scribners, is this: It is related that a large number of naval cadets were negligent in following the service in the chapel, which was after the ritual of the Episcopal church. An incautious officer in charge on Sunday morning made a little address to the church party on the subject, saying be supposed that some of them erred through ignorance, but if they would observe him carefully and do as he did—in military parlance, follow the motions of the commanding officer—they would uot go wrong. Word was passed quietly 'hrougb the battalion. They marched into the church The officer in charge took his place in the front pew. settled himself in bis seat and calmly blew his nose. Three hundred noses were blown simultaneously with a vehemence that was startling. The officer looked around and blushed violently In great surprise. Three hundred heads "followed the motions of the commanding officer." Six hundred cheeks violently tried to blush, a hard thing to for a midshipman to do. and so on through the service. The man could not stir without instant imitation. He finally confined himself strictly to the prescribed ritual of the service, looking neither to the right nor to the left, not daring to

raise a finger or breathe out of the ordinary course. Tills enterprise also was a startling success. The cutlets received other instructions later In the day from a furious officer who sternly resented their innocent statements that they did not know which was ritual and which was not ami that he had not instructed them that blowing his nose stood on u different plane from saying bls prayers. It was a huge joke everywhere. BEE AND HIVE. If the hive rests on the ground, It will be too damp. It will pay to use foundations by filling nil frames full. Set the hive a little above the ground to admit of a circulation of air. From (I o’clock u. m. to 3 o’clock p. tn. includes the hours of successful operating with bees. Procure new blood In the apiary. Inbreeding Is as objectionable with bees as with live stock. It Is necessary to unite all weak colonies that will be unable to build up Into strong stocks. Care should be taken to save all young brood and the brood comba of! those containing brood.

worst place they can be left, as moths are always to be found near the bees and are sure to Infest the combs. One advantage in closed end frames is that a hive lull of combs may be handled as though it were a single piece instead of a collection of loose pieces, thus saving work, worry and time. If the bees cannot conveniently enter the hives during the sudden changes of cool weather, quite a number will be lost; hence care should be taken to have the entrances arranged so that the bees can enter readily. Knots on Trees. In the barks of our forest trees are contained a multitude of latent buds, which are developed and grow under certain favorable conditions. Some trees possess this property in a remarkable degree, ami often, w hen the other parts are killed down by frost, the property of pushing out these latent buds into growth preserves the life of the plant. These buds, having once begun to grow, adhere to the woody layer at their base and push out their points through the back toward the light. The buds then unfold and develop leaves, which elaborate the sap carried up the small shoot. Once elaborated it descends by the bark, when it reaches the base or inner bark. Here it is arrested, so to speak, and deposited between the outside and inner layer of bark, as can be learned on examining specimens on the trees In the woods
