A theatre party from Decatur were ,t Fort Wayne Tuesday evening at tending “The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch” by Mrs. Fiske, and the play was all that had been claimed for it.

Graber of the county farm in '•rtns us that he has in his care three boys aged nine, eleven and thirteen rears respectively, whom ho woidd like to put in care of good people.

A bill which will enliven those who are trying to secure a job as rural mail carriers on the new routes about to lie established in this county, has just passed the house of congress and •ill eventually Ivecome a law. The bill provides that the pay of rural route carriers shall be six hundred dollars per year which is an increase of one hundred dollars. This will be a welcome addition to their wages, for they are obliged to provide their own horse and wagon and this makes quite a bill of expense in a year’s time. It was necessary to increase the appropriation in order to do this and the members having rural constituencies carried the motion in the face of strong opposition. At the ball he misplaced his number nine and implanted it on the dainty pedal extremity of his partner. Such a crime really should mean capital punishment, and it amounts to the same to the man who commits it- On this occasion she bravely withheld a groan and was about to say something about corns when she noticed by the rosy tint of his jowls how abashed he was. Smiling over linnly set teeth she looked upon her poor victim and exclaimed: “Would that I were a centipede, darling, that I ®ight have a hundred feet for you to tread upon." The orchestra burst forth with a brighter strain of music and the merry laughter of the dancers echoed out into the night. R. 8. Berlin, an attorney of Wash ■ngton, D.

The township trustees who were at Indianapolis last week to attend the annual meeting of the Trustee’s Association of Indiana, arrived home Friday afternoon and report a good attendance. While in the capital city Trustee G. W. Rupright acted as chairman of the Adams county delegation and we are reliably informed that while showing them some of the sights he lead them around the circle at Monument square three consecutive times lief ore they got on to the fact. The boys had a good time and were well pleased with the visit. The Express published at Durand. Michigan, said in last week's issue: Mr. and Mrs. A.C.

The thirty-fifth commencement ex ercises of the Huntington high school were held in Library hall Friday evening. The attendance was not as larg« as on previous occasions, but the auditorium was well filled with an attentive audience. Hon. John W. Kern, democratic candidate for governor of Indiana last fall, was the orator of the evening and gave an address of depth and interest. Music was furnished by the opeia house orchestra and added much to the life of the program. Miss Pearl Franklin who formerly lived here was the valedictorian of the class and performei! her part in a splendid manner. Mr. and Mrs. Dave YanCleef of this city attended the exercises. Another member of the famous gang of amateur robbers who did a wholesale business at Willshire has been captured and stands a good big chance of doing time at Columbus with his comrades. The late capture is John Longenberger of this county. His name was connected with the affair at the time the arrests of the other members were made but when officers went to his home they found he had departed for other sections. He went to Missouri and was never molested. Believing the troubles were over he wanderer! back home recently and was arrested at Willshire Monday. He was taken to Yan Wert and given a preliminary hearing, plead not guilty, and was bound over to court in the sum of SI,OOO. His trial will probably be called within a fewdays.

The Methodists of Marion are already at work planning for the great gathering in April and the completion and re dedication of the church where the meetings are to lie held is one long step towards the consummation of the plans.

DECATUR. INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY :!0, 1902.

John H. Gillett, of Hammond, circuit judge of Lake county, has been appointed by Gov. Durbin to succeed Judge Francis Baker on the supreme bench. It is said that Conrad Bowman who shot and killed John Garwood last week is worrying considerably and some fear is expressed by his friends that bis mind will fail before long. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer entertained the whist club Tuesday evening and of course the occasion was a most enjoyable one for these lovers of the greatest card game on earth. Honors were won bv Mrs. Schirmeyer and John H. Heller. The club meets next Tuesday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Daniels. The Montpelier Herald recently said in its oil notes: Hoosier territory presents a pretty active appearance this month and shows up creditably strong in the number and size of the new wells drilled in. Several miles north of the nearest developments in the Blue Creek district in Adams county the Decatur Oil and Gas company have a well on the Teeple farm in section 22, St. Mary's township, which is reported as showing up for a good, steady well. All former attempts to secure paving wells in that territory have resulted in failure or light gassers.

Yesterday evening Judge St. John who heard the argument on the motion for a now trial in the damage suit of Rosella Boone against James McCarty and his bondsmen, denied the defendants a new trial. McCarty and his bondsman then petitioned for an appeal to the Appellate court and the prayer was granted. Mrs. Boon was given judgement against McCarty and his bondsman on account of the death of her husband, whose body was taken from a vault near McCarty’s saloon after a search of eleven days. Ihe defense claims that Boone was dead before his body was placed in the vault and they hint at a tragedy that has not been revealed. Marion Leader. While J. K. Mann and family were pleasantly entertaining themselves around their gas fire Monday evening and while the north winds howling around the house corners told of a disagreeable night without, they were suddenly surprised to have the door open and some thirty members of the Ladies' Relief Corps and the G. A. R. crowd in upon them. Although the suprise was a complete one. the guests were received with open arms und all were soon enjoying the occasion for all it was worth. The time was spent in games and other amusements including refreshments, leaving at a very late hour, wishing Mr. anil Mrs. Mann abundant success and happiness in their new Arkansas home for which place Mr. Mann will leave in a few days and Mrs. Mann in a few weeks. Christian Ashbaucher. of French township, one of the liest known men in the county died at his home two miles northeast of Vera Cruz, early Friday morning. His suffering was of but few days duration and his sad death caused a shock to his many friends over the county. Death was caused by his falling from a wagon load of lumber Tuesday morning of last week, at which time he was injured internally. After the accident Mr. Ashbaucher was carried to the house and a physician summoned. Apparently there were no dangerous injuries, although the doctor said lie was hurt internally. No alarm was felt until Thursday, when Mr. Ashbaucher liecamesuddenly much worse. He was sitting at the dinner table when he was seized with an attack of sickness and became unconscious. He recovered after a time aud al though he had complete control of of his senses he grew steadily weaker and at one o’clock Friday morning his relatives were summoned to his death lied. The deceased, a man aged fifty-six. was a son of John Ash baucher and wife and was born at Eggiville, near Berne, Switzerland. If is parents emigrated to America in i.H5(i and settled in Adams county, where they continued to reside until their death. Chris., as he was best know, was a substantial and influential farmer and citizen. Always a democrat his services were sought after by each aspiring candidate. Hewas straightforward and honest and his death is deeply regretted by all who have transacted business with him. The funeral services were held from the Reformed church at Vera Cruz, Sunday morning. Rev. O. I’. Vitz officiating.

There is still considerable talk con corning the proposed hot water plant here and the movement will probably take shape before many days, at least its to be hoped that something will be done before another winter strikes us. A five o’clock dinner party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Niblick on Fifth street was given Sunday evening, the guest of honor being that genial salesman I. R. Burton of Philiadelphia. A good time with plenty ■to dine on was the verdict of those present. “Chick” Stahl, of baseball fame, 'came near making a slide into the ; great beyond Sunday evening. He i was walking along the streets of Fort ; \\ ayne when Miss Lulu Ortinan, an old sweet heart, stepped up to him and imparted the glad tidings that she was about to put out his lights, at the same time flourishing a formidable looking revolver. “Chick” lost no I time in grabbing the young lady’s i arm and taking the gun away from her. About this time a policeman happened along and the lady was turned over to his care and was soon landed at the station w here charges of I attempt to kill were posted against her. Frank Martin, of Lebanon. Indiana, i was a visitor here Tuesday and found I time to call on the Democrat force. I Ho is a clever and polished young j man and we would like him first rate I if he was otherwise colored politically. ; He is a candidate for the republican | nomination for state auditor and is out soliciting support. He is the ■ present deputy auditor and is certain|iy well qualified for his duties. He ) went from here to Geneva where he i was called upon official business. During his conversation with us h® said he was well acquainted with W. A. Lower of this county, deputy state ; superintendent, and whom he said j was one of the most popular men in i the state house. There is now a well defined rumor i that J. L. Frazier, the recently ap j pointed general superintendent of the j Clover Leaf, is slated to assume the ; active management of the property. . The first step in this direction came to 1 the surface Saturday when President Norton relinquished the general management of the road. While Mr Frazier has only the title of general superintendent, it is said that he will have all the authority of general man ager. Later it is said Mr. Frazier will ! receive the title of general manager, ior possibly vice president. It is even hinted that he may become president !of the company, Mr. Norton being | transferred to New York, where he ' will devote himself to the finances of ' the road.

The cold wave predicted by the weather bureau Friday, got here Sunday night, over twenty four hours late. The cold wave which swept Manitoba was expected to start south east immediately, but Saturday the northwestern states were given a good snow which traveled as far south as the northern part of this state. The snow coming iu advance of the cold wave did a great deal toward saving the wheat crop of the Dakotas aud Minnesota. Sunday evening up to six o’clock the thermometor here stood at about 35 above, but by ten o’clock it had dropried 15 degrei's aim at six o'clock Monday morning it stood just two above the zero mark. Farmers say that the cold weather will injure the wheat as it is unproi tected by snow and in sjxrts the wheat will be ruined. For some time metropolitan papers have been publishing accounts of tl -‘ remarkably fertile brain of Harry B. Merriss, of Peru, and it may be of interest to know that Harry is an Adams county product, having been born here in 1888. Although but thirteen years old he is known as the walking encyclopedia and he certainly is a genius. He is a nephew of Mrs. H. A. Fristoe and is well known by a number of people in the county. He has gone to school but four years, but is ahead of many pupils who have gone ten. A remarkable test of the boy’s wonderful memory is this: Let a freight train of forty or fifty ears pass him slowly enough for him to read the numlters on the cars, and when the train is by. he will repeat correctly, and in rotation, the numbers as they appeared to him on the cars. He has successfully accomplished this feat a number of times iu the presence of numerous persons. He solves mentally almost any problem in addition, subtraction or multiplication. One may take a dozen or twenty figures, read them distinctly and he will be ready with the correct answer. In history the lad is an adept. He will listen to the reading of a page in any volume, and when the reader has finished he will repeat it, word for word, without the use of the book. He recites sections of his torv pertaining to all the great wars, and it is said that he gained this knowledge by listening to others road of the events. He gives dates, and even days, when most all of the big events in the history of this country occurred, and readily speaks the names, the date of birth and date of death of nearly all of the early explorers of this continent. He is said to lie the brightest lail in the state for his age.

Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Bryson’entertain led a number of their friends yt six i o'clock dinner Thursday evening. ! The affair was a splendid one and the I feast was followed !>y a splendid ■ musical program. Among the guests I were Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Bell. Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Hudson. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hale, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Haram, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Callow, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Yail and Mrs. Florence DeVilbiss. , The Clover Leaf and Chicago & Erie depots were broken into about eleven o’clock Friday evening and robbed. At the former place but thirty cents was securer! but at the Erie the burglars fared better, securing about fifteen dollars. The work bears evidence of home talent and an effort is being made to apprehend the thieves. At both places the burglars happened at a time when the operators were most likely to be absent on other duties and this fact leads the authorities to believe that the offenders are people who knew these facts. It takes pretty smooth work to fool that clever merchant, Charles P. Ehinger, but the feat was accomplished by about fifty of his friends Thursday evening, w hen they took possession of his comfortable home on Fifth street and sent for him to come home at once, which he did, to find himself the guest of honor, the occasion being the thirty ninth anniversary of his birth. Charley gave up at once and proceeded to enjov the evening as much as any one, Progressive pedro was chosen as the principal mode of entertainment and prizes were won by Mrs. James K. Niblick and Mr. R. J. Holthouse, while the boobies went to Mrs. Frank Crawford and Mr. John Gerard. The National Union lodge met in regular session Monday evening at the office of W. E. Fulk, the principal business being the installation of officers for the ensuing year. The installing duties were performed in a very graceful manner by Senate Deputy James N. Fristoe, the officers being William E. Fulk, president; William 11. Niblick, vice-president; Henry Krick, speaker; Jeff Bryson, secretary; W. H. Meyers, financial secretary; R. K. Allison, treasurer; George Chronister, door keeper; M. J. Butler, sergeant at arms; J. A. Smith, usher: A. Sellemeyer, chaplain and Henry Krick, John W. Vail and W. H. Niblick, trustees. This fraternal society is one of the liest represented in the city and is growing in membership. During his three week’s trip through the various counties in Indiana, L. C. Masters, chairman of the Indiana prohibitionists, will endeavor to raise the sum of $3,000 to be used iu starting out evangelists in the various counties and paying them for services during the coming campaign and to defray other expenses incident to the campaign. Chairman Masters save that he is having great success. He is attending the different conventions in the counties arid at each place calls for a collection, applying the money to the state fund. He is confident that the entire amount desired will be I raised. As soon as Chairman Masters ' returns to Muncie he will begin making preparations to move the state headquarters from Muncie to India napolis where they will lie located in I the Lemecke building in March. The ] prohibitionists will then begin an active campaign. The liquor traffic, as usual, will be the issue.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

j Gov. Durbin has addressed a circu- ' lar letter to the county assessors of the state, calling their attention tothe act of 1901, providing for a meeting 'of the county assessors of the state and the state board of tax commisj sioners. The conference w ill be held at Indianapolis, Feb. 6th and 7th. A program of assessors has been pre- . pared and it is the intention to make this the most interesting conference convention ever held. Township asI sessors are also requested to attend j and share in its benefits. The Catholic Yonng Men’s Social club entertained a number of their friends at the home of Mr. John Schurger last Tuesday evening. There thirty couple present and the evening was spent in a social ball, it being one of the best given in this vicinity for some time. Music was furnished bv the famous W. E. Smith and R. W. Wolford orchestra and, as reported by many, i was excellent. Several duets were also furnished by the same. Refreshments were served. The guests ’ departed for their homes at an early hour in the morning thanking the jelub boys for the manner in which j they were entertained. The case of Charles M. King, administrator of the Boblitt estate vs the Chicago & Erie railway company, is on trial at Portland, having begeu Monday. The progress of same was stated in the Commercial-Review as follows: Although it was quietly talked Monday evening that a com promise in the damage action brought by Charles M. King, administrator of the estate of R. A. Boblitt against the Chicago & Erie railroad company, for $5,000 damages, was in sight, this did’ not reach fruition; and the suit, which had already been begun, was actively conducted Tuesday. The first witness to be called Tuesday morning was Forrest Orr, who had been on the stand Monday afternoon. He was followed by George Loutban and Wil lis Cassiday. Shortly before the noon adjournment Mrs. Boblitt, the widow, was called; and she was examined until the afternoon was pretty well along. Attorneys who are interested are of the opinion that the trial of the case and the arguments will hardly be concluded before quite late Wednesday afternoon, even if by that time.

Another citizen has been called from his earthly labors, and a.life of usefulness has closed forever. George M. Haefling, city councilman of the Second ward and one of the moat popular men in the county, died Mon day evening, a few minutes before , eight o’clock. His illness was spoken jof last week, at which time it was be ■ lieved that the critical stage had been passed aud his recovery seemed only a matter of a short time. He appar I ently continued to improve until Sat i urday morning, when his fever became ' alarming and his case again very crit i ical. He grew worse steadily until Monday morning, when he lost con sciousness and the attending physicians gave up all hopes. He was barely alive during the entire day and alsuit eight o'clock in the evening his j sufferings ceased aud his spirit en j tered the great beyond. The indirect cause of his death happened forty years ago or more, when he had his left foot frozen. Since that time he has had no feeling in that member. | and consequently when his shoe j rublssl the foot to a degree which would have been very painful ordinarily, it went unnoticed under the circumstances. After a few days blood poison set in and a part of the foot was amputated with hopes of saving his hfe. He stood the operation nicely anil seemed to lie recovering rapidly, when the change came and death was the result. Mr, Haefling was born in Seneca county, (thio, December 17. 1839, son of Balthas and Margaret Haefling, natives of Bavaria, Germany, they having emigrated to this country six years prior to the birth of our subject. They were among the early settlers of Sen eca county and there the deceased learned many lessons known only to the pioneer. In 1866 he was married to Miss Margaret Kintz, a native of Westmoreland county. Pa., and to them have lx<en born six sons, five of whom remain, they being James P., present deputy clerk, Peter R. Edward B. Thomas F. and Daniel M. George C. is deceased. Mr. Haefling and family came to Adams county in 1869, locat iug on a farm in St. Mary's township where they liveil seven years, then re . moved to their farm in this township. | Mrs. Haefling died October 2. 1888, ! and several years afterward Mr. | Haefling married Miss Bridget I Fitzgerald .of this city. In 1895 : they moved to town and have I since lived at the corner of T'nird and ! Adams street. Mr. Haefling has been a faithful member of the Catholic church, he has been an earnest demo i erat, an industrious citizen and a good I neighbor. He has served as su|>er visor of St. Mary's township, man ager of the county infirmary and city councilman and in all has proven him self efficient and worthy. His friends i are numerous all over the county. The funeral will lie held from th" St. Mary’s Catholic church at nine o'clock this mornibg. li»v. H Theo. Wilkens officiating. The members of the city council and city officials will attend in a body.
