VOLUME XLYI.

THIS HORNING’S FIRE. The Presbyterian Church Sutlers a Fire Loss to the Extent ot $3,000 At two o’clock this morning fire broke out in the Presbyterian church building aud for a time a serious conflagration was feared. As it was, the whole inside of the building was blistered from the intense heat, the handsome church organ burned up and the piano ruined. The fire originated from an over production of heat in the furnace, which is supposed to have caused the curtains around the organ to ignite, with the results as told. Insurance to the amount of $2,300 was carried in the .Etna, Dore B. Erwin agent. Os this amount $1,500 is on the budding and SBOO on the intents. Os this they will perhaps recover SIOOO, which will fail to cover the real loss by SSOO or SIOOO. A building committee fortheir church had ust lieen named, Wilson Lee, Scott Hughes. C. F. True and Pastor Allen, who will decide on plans and get estimates upon a very modern and complete church building. This morning’s tire will perhaps hasten the action of both the committee and members of the church in the undertaking of erecting a new church home. Mrs. James T. Dailey, daughter and son returned to Bluffton Tuesday, 11fer spending Easter with relatives in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Ellingham f Bluffton, visited Monday evening and pait of Tuesday at the home of ye editor. Attorneys Emerson, McGriff and <). H.

She was sixty three years old. Funeral services were held Monday from the Pleasant Dale church. On Monday evening, April It, at the office of Secretary Sehirmeyer, the annual election of directors for > the German Building Loan Fund & ■savings Association, will take place. This is a thrifty monied organization that has grown with thebusy interests f Decatur, until it is not only solid and reliable, but important as well. New cases filed are entitled State vs < >tto V. Borden, from justice of peace court. State vs Edward Luttman, assault aud battery. Eugene M. Lindsey vs W. H. Shepherd, guardin, jietition to have George E. Snyder declared of sound mind. Frank Gilbert vs Peter E. Fugat*. damages for alienating wife’s affections, demand $5,000. Leo Kohne admr, vs Gehart Kohne, notes $2,000. The Indianapolis Sentinel-recently 'aid: A new name that is being suggested in connection with the democratic nomination for congress from the Eighth district is that of W. A. Kunkel of Bluffton. So far there has lieen little serious talk of candidates, as no time has been set for the con vention and the meeting will probably not lie held until the middle of the summer, although J. J. Netterville and B. H. Campbell of Anderson and L. G. Ellingham of Decatur and others have been spoken of. Easter day has passed and while Sunday was not the most perfect day for new gowns and beautiful bonnets it was perhaps the more auspicious for devout worship and that’s as it should be. All the churches were decorated with flowers and potted plants, emblematical of approaching spring and in each house of worship services appropriate for the occasion were rendered. In nearly all either tiie morning or evening service was in charge of the children, who gave pretty entertainments, replete with songs, speeches aud drills. In each church the pastor delivered an Easter sermon and each taught lessons which cannot help doing good. Large crowds attended everywhere and the day was one fraught with much good. The Easter exercises at the Presbyterian church were beautifully rend > red by the Sunday school scholars. The church was decorated with pot ted plants, palms, ferns and festtooning of stars and stripes, at the base stood a large cross -over all hung the words “Easter Greeting.” At an early hour the church was crowded with parents and friends all anxious to see and hear. At the apjjoiuted service hour the exercises commenced with a march and drill of seventy pupils from infant to older classes. They presented an attractive and lovely appearance as they kept perfect time to the music, weaving in and out, forming different figures, then march ing to their respective places. Following were class exercises, songs, interspersed with music bv school and instrumental music rendered by the pupils. The last of the program is worthy of special notice. Easter hat drill given by fifteen young ladies, during the drill was a tableaux scene • of “Clinging to the Cross" with the song (sang by school) “At the Cross. ’ The exercises were lieautiful and impressive and the entire program was highly appreciated by those that were present.

Michael McGriff, of Geneva, attended the People’s livery sale Monday. Esq. Reynolds spent several days in Marion this week visiting his sons three in number who reside there. Fred Rinehart, city editor of the Bluffton Evening News was in the j city Monday evening attending to business and looking up numerous i friends. J. D. Reiter left yesterday for Lafayette where he will attend the Pur- ] due commencement exercises, his brother Will being a graduate from the pharmacist department. I he following subscribers have paid subscriptions this week: Crist Macke, Fred Voight. W. F. Schug, Fred Martin, Crist Eiekhoff, Edward Kintz, Hower Lower and S. H. Shaffer. Judge Erwin has granted a new trial in the case of Isaac Teeters vs. Mary Teeters in which a verdict was returned recently declaring the defendant to be of unsound mind. Mr. aud Mrs. Joseph Roy left Tuesday for Hammond, Indiana, where they will make their future home. Joe has accepted a lucrative position in the steel mills of that prosperous city. A new case filed in the circuit court is against Ed Luttman. charged with assault and battery on the person of John Magley, the affidavit being one returned by the November grand jury. Jesse Robison will defend Luttman. Marriage licenses were issued this week to John A. Weyburne and Rosa Barkley, Orwin V. Shaffer and Sonora Mae Beery, Charles Hower and Elmira Dailey, Herman Lehman and Anna Mathewson, Francis P. Smith and Grayce Coral Simcoke. The Decatur Democrat states that B. W. Sholty, the real estate and insurance man of that city, will move to Phoenix Arizona, in a few weeks, for the Ixnefit of his wife's health. Mr. Sholty was raised at Roanoke, this county, and for years was engaged in business with his father. This move will take him far from his old Indiana home. Huntington Herald. The W. D. Coil filler and package factory will remove their plant from this city to Muncie some time during the summer, probably about July 15. A contract for the Muncie building has already been let and will be completed as soon as possible. The change is made because Mr. Coil pur chases his straw lioard from Muncie and by locating his factory there he saves about SIOOO in freight each year. Al. Buhler writes us from Hot Springs. Arkansas, where he went a week ago on account of his declining health. He says he arrived tired, worn out, and feeling anything but good, but he has already talked to so many people, who went there even worse than he is and are now cured, that he has great hopes. Al. has been afflicted with kidney trouble for several years and his many Decatur friends will rejoice with him if he comes home improved. He will remain at Hot Springs about a month ‘ yet.

Judge Branyan. of Huntington, has selected Judge J. S. Dailey to hear the petition for mandate to compel the commissioners of Huntington county to call a subsidy election for the D. N I . Judge Dailey will hear the case Saturday. The commission ers contend that they cannot call an election as the council has appropriated no money to pay the subsidy but the friends of the road contend that the county council has nothing to do with it as the township alone and not the county is asked to vote the tax. If the subsidy election is knocked out Huntington will lose the road and shops and the road will strike the Erie at some other point, possibly at Kingsland or Uniondale or it may be extended further north to some other line entering Chicago, A great social occasion was the Easter ball given at Meibers' hall Monday evening by the Catholic Young Men’s Social club and we do not draw on our imagination in the least when we say it eclipsed anything of the kind ever given in the city. The hall was beautifully decoratisl in the club colors, two arch lights put in by the club for this occasion made the room as light as day. in fact nothing was left undone by the clever club members to make the dance the season’s success that it was. The Dickerson orchestra of Bluffton furnished the music and did their part nobly, from the numerous com pliments we have heard for them. Promptly at nine o’clock came the call “Get vour partners for the grand march” and sixty couple fell in line, headed by Colonel Eugene Christen and sister Maud,-who did their parts gracefully and well. Then came waltz, two-steps, quadrilles, sehottis ■hes and lancers ami the happy ypung people enjoyed each number thoroughly. Giving to the large number present they banqueted nt the various hotels and restaurants, this part of the program occurring at twelve, after which came anothei indulge ment in the fantastic step for sever al hours. A number of out of town guests were in attendance.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1902.

Alva Nichols and Godfrey Bell left I yesterday for the Northwest, their . destination being either Washington i or Oregon. They had expected to : start a few days sooner but were de- I layed. The Passion Play of Oberammergau j will be reviewed at the Presbyterian j church Saturday evening of this week : by Rev. Allen. The stereopticon will be used and some fine views will bei shown.

It was brought in from Buckeye last week on a flat car. being set in position the same day, the corner stone being laid amid impressive ceremonies. Business was tern porarily suspended and the average Blufftonian has expanded to the limit. Ed Wilgus has made a warm place in the hearts of the prisoners at the countv jail. Ed is a barlier by trade and shaves all of them.

He is confident that he will lie accquitted by the jury here.—Bluffton Banner. Among other things sold at the big E. M. Peoples sale Monday were eight shares of Citizens’ Telephone stock and th’b fight for possession of same showed the desire for this valuable investment. Eli Myers secured a block of four of the’ sjiares, originally worth forty dollars for sl6l aud Beery A Holthouse purchased the other four for $159, making a total of $320 for eighty dollars worth of stock. The Decatur Oil & Gas Company will have a little business of their own Saturday, April 12th. At this time they will determine the matter of increasing their capital stock from $7,000 to $25,000. They will also elect a new board of directors of seven members who will have in charge the business of the company. The outlook is bright and encouraging, they already being the possessors of a gas well, an oil well pumping forty’ barrels daily and leases covering nearly three thousand acres, some of which give evidence of proving valuable production. Misses Frank Thompson, Maud Rice and Sophia Mangold, left yesterday for Great Falls Montana, where they expect to make their future home. Miss Thompson has resided in the western city for several years and her reports of the opportunities in the west no doubt influenced her friends to accompany her back. All are well known here, having hundreds of friends who join us in wishing the fair travelers the best success possible in their new home. Miss Ried has been employed at Niblick A Co’s dry goods store for some time and will accept a similar place at Great Falls. Miss Mangold has held several responsible positions in the city during recent years, having for some time been employed at the telephone exchange.

J. W. Place came home Sunday from a two or three weeks absence at Mt. Clemens, Michigan, where be was taking treatment at this popular health resort. Good results are claimed by the absence and treatment. H. Fred Linn is building a very handsome residence on bis Mercer street purchase which he will occupy when completed. It gives evidence of being a very complete structure and will make a model home for the genial Mr. Linn aud family. The Lenhart grocery on west Monroe street was destroyed by fire Tuesday night, the blaze being caused by the increased gas pressure. The barber shop of Joe McFarland adjoining was damaged to the extent of SIOO. Both buildings were almost totally ruined making the loss about SI,OOO. The buildings were owned by S. P. Fordyce aud Charles Sether. Says Tuesday’s Bluffton News: John Dickerson’s orchestra player! for a dance given by the Catholic Young Men’s Social club of Decatur last evening. The club went to considerable expense to give the dance as they had the hall wired with electric lights and nicely decoraed and sent for the best orchestra they could find. Harry Evans, Harry Stout aud Miss Jessie Spaulding were over from here to attend.

Charles K. Bell has purchased the insurance and real estate agency of B. \\. Sholty the deal having been consumated Tuesday e.veningand Mr. Bell to take possession as soon as the companies can be transferred. Mr. Sholty has an extensive business built up by years of hard work and close application to duties and we have no doubt that Charles will take care of the business in a most satisfactory manner. The public sale of E. M. Peoples’ livery stock came off Monday as scheduled and was a record breaker. Fred Reppert auctioneered the sale and made himself a reputation as one of the liest in the business. The entire stock of goods, wagons, carriages, cabs and other rigs, horses, and, in fact, everything in the big bam were closed out by three o’clock. While the amount of the sale has not lieen made public, we are informed that the total was over ?fi,ooo. Beery & Holt house purchased the cabs and several other fine rigs, while James Rice also got a good share of the best goods. An enormous crowd from out of town attended. The high school class of 1902 are making arrangements for their commencement exercises which will lie held at Bosse’s opera house on the evening of either May 29th or May 30th. The latter is the dosing day of the school year but as it falls on Decoration day there is a probability that the exercises will occur the evening before. The class consists of eight young ladies and four gentlemen, all of whom have successfully passed the necessary examinations and proven themselves thorough in their work. The class roster contains the following names: Misses Della Sellemeyer, Katie Kriek, Blanch Dibble, MaeGessinger. Grace Suttles. Fav Smith, Nola Jackson and Bertha Heller and Messrs. Rolla Parrish, Maynard Frysinger, John Gillig and Edward Magley. The Northern Indiana M. E. Con ference will open at Marion next Tuesday and continue in session one week. It is Methodist week for this part of Indiana, and will lie attended iiy many from this county. Arrangements to entertain an enormous crowd of visitors have Been made and Marion is ready to extend a hearty welcome to the ministers and church workers. It is believed that this year’s meeting will Rp the largest in the history of the coference and that 2,500 visitors will be in Marion during the week. The presiding officer will lie Bishop Isaac W. Joyce of New York, a man much beloved by Methodists everywhere. Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus of Chicago delivers one of the excellent lectures at the Indiana theatre on th" evening of Friday, April 11. Visitors from all over the state are expected to lie pres ent on that occasion and Friday will lie one of the big days of the week. Messrs. Ostrom the evangelist, and Hillis his singer, will bo there during the entire week. The week’s program in full has been made public and contains many interesting features.

Last Sunday's Ft. Wavne JournalGazette said: Some speculation is , being indulged in as to where the ! next state convention of the Rathbone j Sisters will be held. At the last state j meeting no final action was taken on this point, and the matter was left in the hands of the new grand chief. - There are a number of towns in the state that would welcome the sisters but present indications point to the , conclusion that Decatur leads for the ' choice. Fred Schieman took possession of the Madison street meat market Monday, a deal for the transfer of 1 same having been made Saturday with the former owners Ashbaucher A Koeneman. The packing establishment on Fornax street was also in- ’ eluded and Mr. Scheiman is now sole j owner of the entire propertv. Fred is a hustler in business and will go j after the business in the energetic manner which has heretofore eroweed his effects with success. He is still I a member of the firm of Butler A I Schiman, stock buyers. The prohibitionists are to have their ■ state convention at Indianapolis, on I April 15 and 16, at which time they ' will put a lull state ticket in the field. ] The railroads have made a rate of one i fare for the round trip, open to the ' public, aud a large crowd is expected. ’ A delegation will be present from this county. National Chairman OliI ver W. Stewart of Chicago will make I the principal address. Most of the districts will also at this time nomi- ' uate candidates for congress. The prohibitionists have now opened up ! state headquarters at Indianapolis, in charge of L. C. Masters, state chairman, with a view of conducting a more agressive campaign than ever before. Tuesday was April 1 as everyone knows. It was also Frank Schirmey- . er’s birthday and that gentleman and wife were as badly fooled as anyone , in town. Just as they were sitting , down to supper the door bell rang and the members of the whist club were ushered in. The occasion soon dawned upon them and they proceej- , ed to entertain in the royal manner . they are known for. After some little delay a banquet was served and the , members appeased their appetites in a hearty manner. The surprise was planned by Miss Irene Sehirmeyer , who proved herself a little general and a girl who can certainly keep a secret. After dinner came progressive | whist for several hours, honors being won by Chalmer Schafer and Mrs. Ellingham. It was a great event and , will be so posted on the club records for years to come. The regular meeting of the city j council was held in their rooms in the court house Tuesday evening.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY

The six o'clock closing rules which have been followed by’ our merchants during the winter ended Monday and the progressive merchants at once adopted a rule for the ensuing eight months. They will close from now on until January 1 at eight o’clock excepting on Mondays and Saturdays. Those signing the agreement were: Niblick A Co., Kuebler A Moltz Com pany, M. Fullenkamp, Kern, Beeler A Co., Charles F. True. Dave Van Cleef, (ms Rosenthal. \ oglewede Bros.. John Mougey, Woodward A Ball, Gay A Zwick, George W. Roop, A. \\ innes, H. Friedman, Holthouse, Schulte A Co. Ora France has received an offer from the manager of the Paris, Texas, base ball team to play second base for their club this season. Paris is in the southern league and manv players jump from there to the Na’ tional and American league. The season opens soon and players will report about April 15th. Ora is offered seventy-five dollars per month and all expenses, the contract to hold for five months. He has not decided definitely but will very probably decline the offer, as he can get on nearer home if he cares tp play this seas on. Ora is a splendid infielder, a fair batter and marvelous base runner and could hold down a league job if he wants to.. Tuesday’ April Ist, as has been the case for years past and will continue to be in the future until some legislature changes the law was the day the township assessors and his deputies begin their work; and in all of the ninety-two counties of the state these officials will be busy for the next six weeks or two months. Within recent years the assessors have received vast lv more in the way of instruction than formerly, and by reason of this have been able to do their work in a more comprehensive and satisfactory way, and with much more satisfaction to themselves and the public. The position of assessor is not a pleasant one on some occasions, but withal it will compare pretty favorably, salary considered, with other positions where much the same kind of work has to be done. It is safe to say that for the I next two months there will be more I canines without owners than at any I other time during the entire year. Manv have an intense dislike to pav the dollar which is required of a dog I owner, and would rather turn the animal loose to shift for itself than to I come down with the coin. \\ hen a life has been so consistent l v devoted to its Savior that even in the delirious ravings, due to intense suffer ing. the mind continues to praise and worship Him. surely that life has been blessed. Sue h was the life of Mother Albers. Eva Catharine, the eldest daughter of Christopher and Margaret Stumpfen, was born at Koenigreich, Biron zu Rittenbauzen, Germany, April 19, 1830 and died in Decatur, Indiana. March 26, 1902, at 5:15 p. m., aged 71 years, 11 months and 7 days. i \\ hen she was eight years old she came to America with her parents who ) settled in Hamilton. Ohio. She was | married April 1. 1849 in Cincinnati to ! Augustus L. Albers, a native of Ham burg, Germany, who came to this i country when he was 18 years old. These two lived in Cincinnati five years and then moved to Willshire, Ohio, where they lived twelve years, from which place they moved to Decatur where they spent the rest of their lives. They were the parents of nine children, three sons of whom pre ceeded the father to their eternal abode, aud in 1875 the husband and father departed. Six children remain to mourn the loss of a noble, sacrificing and Christian mother. The eldest child, John L., resides in Toledo, Ohio, and the other two sons, Rudolph and Edward, in Fort Wayne. One of the daughters, Mrs. M. F. Tilbury, resides in Lima, Ohio, and Mrs J T Merryman and Mrs. Charles K. Bell in this city. Mother Alliers has always been a devoted Christian, having given in childhood her heart to God. and was a member of the German Lutheran church until moving to Decatur. where she united with the Ger man Reform, there being no Lutheran church in the city, She was always a regular and active member and a consistent Christian, always ready to cheer others with pleasant words and a smile and helpful, loving advice, and never neglecting for a moment the spiritual training of her children. Although she suffered physically most of the time since she was 23 years old. never once did her faith waver or her praise grow less fervent. Her recent illness last<>d nine weeks, ami although her suffer ing was intense she died very quietly, peact'fully breathing her last in a deep and quiet sleep which came upon her Sunday afternoon and lasted until her death W<'dnesday evening, having only rallied once for any length of time, which was for a few minutes Sunday evening when she fondly said good bye aud kissed her three daugh ters, who had been her faithful anti constant companions all through her illness, and sang in a feeble voice “Jesus my Savior." Thus she died as she lived and in a manner trulv suggestive of her future life, |>eaceful. trusting and praising and a grand, noble character and a type of ideal womanhood.
