I Mrs. Samantha Dorwin who has been suffering with pneumonia for two weeks past is recovering and it is believed will soon regain her former good health. r ?? rH ' it H ’, , He ! ler entertained the Ladies 1 nimble club at her home on Adams street Monday afternoon and a good time is reported.

H 2 Curry Pyles an old Genevaite, who has been getting rich in the Texas and Alabama oil fields during recent years was here Monday looking up old friends and acquaintances. The democratic city primary was lively and each candidate made a vigorous effort to win. However, no oneseems to feel the least hurt bv the result, and all have settled down for a victory at the city election. Among the new criminal cases filed this week, is one filed against Conrad Sleckener for burglary and larceny. The defendant hails from Berne and is alleged to have stolen a saber and scabbard from William Sheets. A special meeting of the city council will be held soon to determine what will be done towards the erection of a city hall and fire department building. It is the general belief that an uptodate hall will be erected. ‘‘J. N.” the philosoper, has been bolding forth at Bluffton for several days and has made repeated efforts to lift the pressure from that sinful hamlet. He lectured there Friday and Monday evenings and created more excitement than a real live circus could have done. Roy Wolford is oue Decatur printer who seems to have had a run of good luck, having recently been granted a pension of ten dollars per month and about $lO5 back pay. Roy was a member of Co. C, 139th V. S. infantry, and while serving in the Philippines contracted malarial fever. He was discharged on account of poor health and came home more dead than alive, his friends believing he would never recover. He is able to do some work now, but the pension is a deserving recognition for his services.

The firm of Steele & Bell, grocers, have dissolved partnership, Mr. Steele purchasing the interest of Mr. Bell. The store is located on Monroe street and has a splendid patronage. Mrs. H. L. Confer has been very ill for a few days, and the first of ’ the week her condition was believed to be dangerous. At present she is considerably improved and thought to be out of danger. The Volunteer Organist Company showed at Bosse’s Tuesday night to a large audience. The company is one of the strongest ever here and gave good satisfaction. The leading man was affected during the performance, with an attack of heart trouble but managed to go through with his part in a most commendable manner. These have paid their subscription during the past week: Harmon Brake, E. W. Hendricks, C. Rademacher, Henry Mangold, L. A.Voglewede, E. W. Buche, Elizabeth Brown, Edward Chronister, Theodore Lengerick, W. A. Lower. William Pillars, A. D. Welker, Emil Erhart, Mrs. Ed. Pastor, J. 11. Beatty and John Maiston. Arthur E. Rose has purchased the interest of his partner. C. K. Bell, in the plumbing and electrical supply store of which they have been proprietors for a year or more.

Mr. Bell has not fully decided as to his future business, Februrary 16th was the coldest day ever recorded in the Hawaiian Islands since their discovery by Captain Cook. The tliermometsr fell to 52 - above zero. It would take a much greaier degree of frigidity than that to produce a case of “blue nose'’ in Northern Indiana. Mr. Fahrenheit has to have his weather eye set on the “goose egg’’ in order to send a chill up the back of the average Hoosier. The March winds of yesterdayproved disastrous for D. M. Hensley. Just at noon a gale struck the large awning in front of his jewelry store on South Second street and broke the front iron rod squarly in the center, dashing the broken ends into the large heavy plate glass window and smashing it to pieces. Three showcases near the window were also badly broken making the loss quite heavy. The window, however, is covered by insurance in the Fidelity ac- ! cident company of New York, Har- ! ruff & Lenhart agents. The policy i would have expired today at noon.

Dennis Hendricks of Geneva, visit- ■ ed relatives here Sunday. The Niblick ’& Company fire loss, I occasioned by the blaze of three weeks ■ ago was adjusted last week in a manj ner satisfactory to all concerned. Will Scherer and E. W. Hendricks i two of Monroe township’s prosperous farmers, made this office a pleasant call while paping their annual respects to the countv treasurer last Friday. Emerson Brown has purchased a one-third interest in the Hughes & Cress marble shop of this city. The new member’to the firm is a well known young man with ample business ability. Ex-Governor Algeld. of Illinois, died yesterday morning at seven o’clock from heart trouble brought on by over excitement. On Tuesday night he made an impassioned appeal in behalf of Boers, addressing a large audience at the Jolliet opera house. When walking from the stage he fell in a dead faint. Afterwards he regained consciousness for a short time. Mary Dyble. a nurse in the Hope hospital, Ft. Wayne, was subpoenaed as a witness in the Eckert-Fritzinger case, but failed to arrive. Judge Erwin promptly issued a writ of attachment and she was brought into court yesterday morning. Her tardiness in arriving cost her the sheriff’s expenses and she was allowed to go home without paying the fine usually assessed on such occasions. Danger of colds and lagrippe. The greatest danger from colds and lagrippe is their resultingin pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases, we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous malady. It will cure a cold or an attack of lagrippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasant and safe to take.

However they are still required on deeds, and as the first of March is here there is a big rush for them. The banks do not care to stock up very heavv as there is so much red tape connected with the redemption of the stamps. As a result, some of the banks had to send for supplies of them since the real estate deals have been getting ; heavier.

De Voss has received word from his son, L. A. Devoss, a resident of Beaumont, Tex., that ha will behome in a few days. Arlie left about two years ago and went to Shreveport. Louisana, where he engaged in the real estate business. When the Texas oil l>ootn started he was on the ground floor and soon secured some investments that multiplied his capital rapidly. He is now assistant secretary of the Rex Petroleum company of Beaumont, and his purpose here is partially to sell some stock in his company. The Rex are the owners of the best leases in the southern oil field and have some great wells. They are short of readv money, however, with which to market their product and a few months ago decided to sell $300,(XX) worth of stock at ten cents per share, the money to lx> utilized for building tanks and laying pij>e lines. Os this amount all but $50,000 worth has been sold, and this will be disposed of by Arlie in Indiana. Quite a number here are talking Rex stock seriously and will no doubt invest. The company agrees to redeem the stock in ninety days with a barrel of oil for each share of stock. MARKETS. CORRECTED BY E. L. CARROLL, GRAIN MERCHANT, DECATI’R, IND.

The tax i duplicate is not a transfer book and when for any year the tax duplicate is 1 made with reference to the property ; on the first day of April of said year, the duplicate remains forever unchanged. Call on the auditor for ir regularities in taxes or reductions to be made, the treasurer cannot make reductions. J. H. Voglewede, Treas. Well Preserved. The man who essays to give a lecture or talk in the “slums” must have his i wits well in Iwiid. He may encounter | apathy, but lie is sure also to find an • embarrassing readiness of tongue. An earnest young man from a college 1 settlement was addressing a company of fathers mid mothers on tiie subject of "Christmas In the Home,” telling them of ways in whim the day might be made b’igbt although money was scarce. Hi had visited many houses in many cities and was well informed. | “I’m not talking about what other people liavi told me,” be said genially. l "It's what I know from my personal experience.

Secrefary Long Has At Last Laid Down the Navy Portfolio. Washington, March 11. —Secretary Long has handed his resignation as secretary of the navy to the president, it is to take effect May 1. The portfolio was tendered to Congressman W. 11. Moody of Massachusetts, and he accepted it. The change has been expected for a long time. Mr. Long had intended to retire at the beginning of the late President McKinley's second term, but he consented to remain until certain lines of policy in which he was involved were more satisfactorily arranged. Recently Mr. Long has been in Massachusetts making arrangement with his old legal connections to re-enter the practice of law. and he has had his house at Hingham put in order for his occupation. When Mr. Long entered the cabinet originally he was an active member of the firm of Henmingway & l ong, a well known legal firm of Boston He always has maintained a silent connection with the concern, and will again become an active partner. The news that Representative Moody of Massachusetts had been offered ami had accepted the navy port folio reached the capitol yesterday afternoon. and Mr. Moody, who was on the floor of the house, was showered with hearty congratulations. For several minutes he held a regular levee in one of the side aisles of the Re publican side Democratic members noticed the lemonst rat ions and crossed over to join in the ovation, his congratulations from that quarter being fully as hearty and sincere as these from his own side of the house. Mr Moody began to rise to prominence during his first term in the house, when Speaker Reed selected him frequently to preside over the committee of the whole, and predicted for him a brilliant legislative career. Mr. Moody is a Republican 'awyer of Haverhill. Mass. He was born in Newbury, Mass., in 1853. He was graduated from Harvard In 1876. Sh'i-tly after this he went Into law Beginning in 1890, he was for five years district attorney for the eastern district of Massachusetts. He was elected to the 54fh congress to fill a vacancy, and he has served without a break through the three sessions succeeding that.
