Oil was struck at eight x-k and the valuable fluid flowed i the well in a seemingly never ing stream. From that time to n o’clock Friday morning seven barrel tanks were filled and it estimated by conservative jieople, were on the ground that at least barrels was lost by the men lieing file to set the tanks fast enough, that was not the end, for within first twenty-four hours the well produced nearly 4000 barrels of nd had far eclipsed any record made in the state.

Mrs \\ . A. Lower, of Indianapolis, I arrived Tuesday noon and is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. »v. b. Peterson and relatives. John baker and wife are again celebrating, this time on account of a big healthy baby boy, who came to their home yesterday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moltz entertained the whist club Tuesday even ing and did their part well.' Three couple were even for first honors, each scoring 211 points. D. E. Studabaker has resigned the agency for his various insurance companies and is arranging to go into other business, of just what nature has not yet been made public. William Pengal, seventy-six years old, died at the home of his daughter Mrs. Albert Brock, near Peterson, Saturday, from heart disease. Funeral services were conducted Mondav afternoon by Rev. Vitz, L. C. and Ed. P. Miller and John I Cowan of Linn Grove, were here Wednesday night. L. C. Miller is district inspector for the Masonic order and was on a tour of inspection. The Geneva lodge had degree work. Geneva Herald. Rev. Austin Hunter, who for several months has been serving as pastor of the Christian chu-ch in this city has resigned his charge and accepted a call to the North Side Christian church at Indianapolis. He announced his intentions at the morning services last Sunday and will leave here about April Ist. He is a young man of ability and has given entire satisfaction here. Mrs. Elizalieth Phillips, whose ser ious injury in an explosion and fire at herjdaughter’s home, Kokomo, was mentioned last week, died at an early hour Monday morning as a result of the burns and the terrible shock to her system. She was eighty-three vears old and had been in poor health for some time. The funeral services were he Tuesday at St. Mary's, Ohio. She was the mother of Ed. Phillips of this city. The supreme court Wednesday held unconstitutional the act passed by the last legislature, authorizing the governor to appoint a board of safety foi Ft. Wayne, having control of that city’s fire department as well as its police department. It is the provis- i ious for control of the fire department j that are held to make the act invalid, but they are so involved with the po-1 lice provisions that the latter cannot ’ be separated and the whole act fails. The citizens are jubilant over the de-| cision.

It has been decider! by the secretary of the State Board of Health that the erujvtive disease, of which there are a few cases in Decatur, is smallpox: that decision is absolutely conclusive and binding on all the citizens of this city and any householder who fails to immediately report to the secretary of the board of health of Decatur any eruptive disease in his or her family is liable to prosecution and a heavy fine, besides if they report the eases immediately they can avoid trouble, much suffering and unnecessary expense of quaren tine and the disease can be much more readily stamped out.

A Texas editor wrote up a recent wedding in his state in the following unique manner: "The wedding was. upon the whole, an artistic success. The bride particularly evinced unmistaken talent. She trembled with all the accuracy of an aspen leaf and the emotional intensity of a startled fawn. Her trembling indeed was irreproachable. If she cast down her eyes with something of amateur gawkishness the fact is easily attributable to her inexperience this being her first wedding, rather than to an essentially defective method. She was fairly well supported. The bridegroom rose from his knees too soon to be knocked down by the preacher, but otherwise the affair was au fair. Not a bottle was broken, a six-shooter pulled or deck of cards taken from au overcoat pocket during the ceremony. A number of discharged regular soldiers went through here Tuesday evening over the Erie bound for their homes in various parts of the east. They wore a happy lot and were by no means modest in their expressions of joy in again being in the greatest country on earth. Judge Erwin was a passenger on the same train and told of an interesting conversation with the men. They were discharged December 22 at Lamar island, left there December 28, and have lieen over two months on the road. They say the Phillipines is positively the worst place on earth and no white man can live there more than a few vears. Hain fell constantly during October, November and December, and it is little wonder that American soldiers come back broken in health or in a coflin. Several of the party claimed to have been offered $75 per month to remain and do police duty but said ten times that amount would not have induced them to stay. I hey , had many trinkets and goods from I various places they had been including varidfk islands and Japan, and Judge Erwin purchased a beautiful silk handkerchieUpm one of the boys.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, MARCH «, 1002.

John A. Fennessy, was in town Tuesday. He represents Harry Martells "Volunteer Organist” company, who are billed to appear at Bosse’s opera house next Tuesday evening. J. W. Place came home from Chicago last Saturday where he was buying new machinery* for their recently purchased creamery as well as sup plies for the famous J. W. Place company. Mrs. Samantha Dorwin has been suffering for a week past from a severe attack of pneumonia. She was reported considerably improved last evening and her chances for recovery are considered good. E. M. Peoples who has so successfully been engaged in the livery business here for a number of years, will retire about the first of the coming month. On March 31 his entire stock will be sold at public sale, more extended notice of which will be given later. Enos stands well with the citizens here and they will regret to hear of his retirement. Mr. and Mrs. Mathias Kirsch and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kirsch left Monday for Toledo where they attended the funeral services of Miss Clara Liebenguth, who died at the hospital early Sunday morning, after an illness of several weeks. Miss Clara was a former resident here and was a very popular lady. She moved to Toledo with her mother about two years ago.

New cases filed this week are under the following titles and for the causes assigned. W. W. P. McMillen et al. vs. Herbert Pennington, petition to be released from bond. Dessie Davis vs. Reed Davis, divorce. State vs. Jesse Brandyberry, from J. P. court. State vs. T. G. Botkins, from town clerk of Geneva. State vs. Charles Leßrun, attempt to commit murder, from mayors court. State vs. Arnold Sleiniker, from J. P. court. While the commissioners were in session this week liquor licenses were granted to W. (). Cordua. L. A. Voglewede, John Myers. C. Radamacher, and John Shaffer of this city. Jacob Wegmiller, John Pitts and Preston E. Warner of Geneva. Jeff Klopfenstein of Preble, George Nichols of Berne. Plans and specifications were approved and accepted for twelve steel bridges, ten stone abutments, five stone arches, stone head for one arch, and stone head for three cast iron sewers. According to press dispatches one fatality has resulted from the G. R. A I. wreck which occurred south of Monroe two weeks ago. A telegram which explains itself was published in Saturday’s Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette as follows: F. F. Russell, a member of the ‘‘A Runaway Girl” company, who was injured in a wreck on the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad near Decatur, Ind., last week, and who was brought here and taken to the Kalamazoo hospital, died today from his injuries. Mr. Russell who was about thirty-four years old, died before his wife had reached his bed side from St. Paul. It was thought at first that he was not seriously injured. •

! Dr. B. S. Horn was discharged Monday from his position as physician at the Michigan City penitentiary by t order of the warden, James C. Reid. ; When the doctor, who resides in the i. city a mile from the city, went to en- >. i ter the institution for his regular days • j work he found the gates locked against 1. him. Dr. H. Martin has taken the ? position and the board of control . which meets Monday will probably sanction the change made. The reai son assigned for the dismissal of Dr. s Horne was that his work has l>een un r satisfactory. Dr. Horne left Bluffton -j to take the position six months ago - being appointed by G. A. H. Sheidler, 1 of Marion, al that time warden of the i penitentiary, aud on the recommenda 1 tion of Dr. Hurty, -John L’ri Loyd and »; other prominent medical men. The » position carried with it a salary of $75 r a month. 1 The members of the Ladies’ Thimble club and their husbands enjoyed r a pleasant time at the home of Mr. r Mrs. Fred Mills Thursday evening, r The occasion was intended for a sur . prise and had lieen under contemplar tion for several days by the club, also j including many hours cf work in the t way of preperation. All things were ; complete and a surprise that would I unnerve the Mills family seemed i an assured fact, when one man of I whom the club members claim never i could keep a secret, forgot himself i and broke the nows to the family. • To say that the ladies were frantic > when they heard of their plans being • thus dashed to ruin would be putting it mildly and the young man was ; forced to beg pitiously for life and , freedom. We won’t say who he was but he is smooth faced and runs a dry ! goods store. The m,;.t time we may be tempted to exposej him. Anyway ■ the supper was a feast and the evening a happy one. Progressive Pedro lyiH indulged in and the prize was win bv D. E. Studabaker. The guests were Messrs and Mesdames J. S. M. Hensley, 1). E. Studa baker, Harry Moltz, L. G. Eliingham, J. H. Heller. Mrs. D. F. Quinn. Mrs. T. M. Reid aud Mr. u. E. Neptune. W* i *»

The big oil well on the Studabaker farm which came in last week has been the cause of bringing many speculators into the county, all of them looking for land that will produce such wells. Several New York gentlemen were hero Monday. The Democratic state central committee will in a few days issue the formal call for the state convention to bo held June 4th. The apportionment of delegates from the different counties was fixed at one for every 200 votes or fraction over 100 east for the head of the state ticket in the last campaign. This will make the convention consist of 153-1 delegates. The ease of State Exrel Evelyn Eckert vs E. Fritzinge is the next trial on the circuit court docket being set for tomorrow. However on account of the Jay county case now )>eing tried, it has been postponed until Monday by agreement. Henry Col erick of Fort Wayne and A. P. Beatty of this city appear for the defendant while C. J. Lutz and L. C. DeVoss will assist in the prosecution. The Democrat readers who have sought our best wishes and heartily received them by plucking down the necessary funds’ for their paper includes O. T. Hendricks, Homer Pontius. Louis Fruchte, Fred Hilbert, Fred Kohler, William Koldewey, Geo. Smithy, \ iola Gilbert, John Omlor, Joseph Moser, R. D, Leimenstall, L. C. Miller. Jacob Wegmiller, Jeff Klopfenstein, J. L. Hook, J. W. McKean, Jr., John Ensley, Dan Pontius, -Albert Reppert and John Stegmeyer. The citizens of Celina are making a vigorous kick against the bill now in the legislature in regard to the reservoir. The bill provides that the reservoir is to be drained in order to reclaim the oil land and make it possible to operate. The citizens sav that upon the maintenance of the big artificial lake intact depends the future of their town. It has attained a wide reputation and draws thousands of people there every year to fish and camp out. A strong lobby is working against the passage of the bill. In another column may be found the quarterly statement of the Old Adams County Bank, an institution well founded financially and every other way. The institution was or ganized in 1874 and reorganized in 1891. The present report, made February 25th, shows the total resources to be 8894,988. The capital stock is •8120.000; undivided profits $2,7(50.91: discounts, etc. 81,715.28; dividends unpaid $3,805. Deposits ou demand $525,083.4(> and deposits on time $226,155.32. The officers are W. H. Niblick; president; David Studabaker, vice-president; R. K. Allison, cashier and C. S. Niblick and French Quinn, assistant cashiers. This banking house is one of the strongest in the state and a glance at their statement will prove it.

A man who figures sometvhat prominently in Bluffton social circles was attending a grand ball recently in company with his wife, says the Markle Journal. While dancing a quadrille he noticed that his pants were ripped and hurridly retired to a dressing room, with his wife, who procurred a needle and thread and began sewing up the rip. While the man was standing there without any pants on he heard the rustle of skirts and it occurred to him that he had taken refuge in the ladies dressing room. He appealed to his wife, and she shoved him to a door which opened, as she thought into a closet. Opening the door quickly she shoved him through aud locked the door. Then the man began pounding the door. "Mary,” he screamed, "I’m in the ball room!” The door instead of opening into a closet, opened into the bailroom.

Mrs. John Gluting died at her i home on Madison street about five o’clock Friday morning and the news ■ came as a great shock to her many i friends. She had been suffering from ; a severe cold, which on Tuesday de I veloped into pneumonia and the' end came quick. Her husband left Tuesday morning for Woodburn, to which place he hauled a load of household goods. He bad no idea that his wife was seriously ill. nor did anyone else at that time, as it was believed she was only suffering with a cold which would be disfielled in a day or two. Shortly after reaching Woodburn he was notified of the serious turn in his wife'scondition.and came home by rail, reaching here at noon Thursday. Mr. Gluting and family are heartbroken and they have the sincere sympathy of everyone. Lucy Voglewede Gluting was born near this city. July 8, 18(16, and died February 28. 1 ( .M)2, be ing thirty-five years, seven months and twenty days old. She was united in marriage to John Gluting May 13, 1860, and to them have been born four children, three boys and one daughter, all of whom remain, to give solace to the kind father. The oldest child is the daughter, who is eleven years old and the youngest a sou b'P three. Mrs. Gluting was a lovirg* wife and mother, a devoted Christian, a kind neighbor and was loved knew her. Rev. H Bieo. Wilkins conducted the funeiai services from the St. Marys GathcWc church Mon day morning at 8:30 o'clock. Inter ment at the St. Joseph cemetery.

The February oil report places Adams county second in production with Grant county second. If we don’t miss our guess Adams will crowd 'em for first this month, especially if another well or two like the Studabaker comes in. The Home Missionary Society gave a splendid entertainment at the residence of John W. Vail Thursday | evening. The occasion was the mite box opening and was successful. A silver offering amounting to about fourteen dollars was taken up. The case of S. A. D. Whipple, et al. j vs. the Citizens’ Gas & Oil company, et al., the $5,000 damage suit brought here from Jay county is still holding ; forth in the circuit court room and : from present appearances will last throughout the week. Evidence will all be in bv this evening it is believed and tomorrow will be taken up with the arguments. The grand jury has adjourned, and indictments, three in number, lodged i against Seigler, the smooth horse .

dealer, and two fellows were indicted for desertion and non-support of their families. The sixth complaint was that against Conrad Bauman, of Willshire, who caused the death of John Garwood, January 19th, last, and Bauman was completely exhonorated by the jury failing to return a true bill against Bauman. Willshire Herald. William A. Mitchell, of New York City, who purchased the property of the Superior Oil Co. during the month of November, mention of which was made at the time, was here Monday and closed an enormous deal. He sold all said property to a corporation organized for the purpose of purchasing same and known as the'Central Western Oil Company. The property is located in Adams, Jay and Wells counties and is valued at $500,000. The greater portion of the land lies in this county and includes leases on which are located many of the best wells in the county. Another lucky wreck so far as loss of life is concerned occurred about ten o'clock Friday morning, between Hoagland and Adams, and from the same cause as the one reported last week. The south bound local was rushing along at a fair rate of speed when a truck on one of the box cars about the middle of the train broke and struck the ties. A bad mix up followed, in which seven cars, loaded mostly with freight of various kinds were badly demolished. Not a soul was injured in the least and while the financial loss is pretty heavy the company should consider themselves lucky. The engine came on to this city and the trainmen telegraphed the news to headquarters. The tracks were soon clear sufficiently to allow traffic after only a few hours delay.

Tom Irwin returned from a trip around neighboring towns last week and reports favorably upon the organization of an eight town ball league for the coming season. Parties are organizing stock companies in Hartford City, Montpelier. Decatur. Bluffton, Delphos, Warren. Columbia City and South Whitley. He is also in receipt of letters from other towns wanting into the proposed league. Base ball fans and lovers of the national game in the towns named will have an opportunity to assist in the organization of tnese clubs. The chanced are that we will be furnished a first class article of ball. Warren Tribune. If a team is being organized here we have been unable to learn any news concerning same and are inclined to believe * hat nothing has been done yet. However there are some earnest agitators and it is possible that we may yet be included in the league. Criminal and civil business has been attended to this week in the Adams circuit court as follows: State vs. Charles Leßrun, bond fixed at 8500 and same filed and approved,appearance by D. B. Erwin and L. C. DeVoss for defendant. S. A. D. Whipple, et al. vs. Citizens’ Gas and Oil Company, et al., still on trial be fore court and jury. State ex rel vs.!

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

11 Frank Gessinger, one of the popular i printers of Decatur, was taking a “lay '; off the first of the week and spent I the time in divulging to his manv I friends the fact that a girl baby hail > j arrived to complete the happiness of his home. Everyone doing nicely and Frank at work again. i Five couple have been made happy this week by the granting of marriage licenses by the county clerk and their names are Elsie W.

Mr. Pontius has removed from his farm to Geneva and with his wife will take life easy, they well I earning this reward of ease and com- | fort.

We are in receipt of a copy of the Morris, 111., Daily Herald which contains the photograph and a flattering write-up of Mr. Frank H. Reed, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. FL Reed and former Decatur boy. In speaking of his achievments the paper said: He is a well known Morris young man, just admitted to the Illinois bar. He was one out of a class of seventy, and has the distinction of being the youngest member of the bar in Morris. He has grown up in this city, and has had a general newspaper experience that will greatly aid him in his chosen profession. D. M. Hensley is circulating a petition to raise a fund for the purpose of pushing a test case against the Logansport A M abash Valley Gas Companv for failure to furnish gas. Mr. Hensley heads the list with a ten dollar subscription and when the proper money is subscribed a trustee will be chosen who will have charge of the funds. Another party will then be selected to bring suit against the gas company, alleging that be has paid for gas aud that the company bad failed to supply him with a sufficient amount, thus causing him to pay out money for wood, coal or other fuel. Enough money will be raised to secure attornevs and to pay the costs. The case will be carried through the higher courts if necessary and it will l>e given a thorough test.'

A special meeting of the Decatur Driving Club was held at the office of A. P. Beatty Friday night, the purpose being to organize for the season of 1902 and the meeting was a comI plete success.

Their word is good everywhere and horsemen from all over the country are glad to come here to race. The big meeting this year will be held July Ith, and you can l>et it will be a hummer, and a grand success for the boys will hang money enough on jthe ' wire to bring many horses of reputation heie. From now on the entrance fee to club membership will be ten dollars and no one can join after Mav 30.
