Hudson, for two years pastor of the Methodist church in this city, left yesterday to attend the an-1 nual conference which is now in full blast at Marion. Perhaps there is no brighter or more able Methodist minister presiding over thed»'«tinies of any , . barge in this district than Rev. Hud son, and his social qualities are such that adds ministerial dignity both to himself and to his calling. It seems to be the expressed wish of the membership here that he be returned. The wonderful Passion play as given at Ober Amergan in HMM) and once each ten years prior to that time for ages, was never better illustrated here than by Rev. E. A.

Allen's lecture was entertaining and instructive to say the least. The stockholders of the Cincinnati.

Paris is a city of 20,000 and a great ball town. ; Their 1902 club is to Ire the best they ever had and stands good chances for winning the pennant.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1902.

While in this city the “Si Perkins company” gave Louis Corbin and John Edwards the contract of repainting their car. The work has been finished and you can bet it was done in first class style. Hubert Falk, a young son of W. E. j Falk, ex-county surveyor is very ill at j his home on Marshall street. He is' suffering from a stroke of paralysis' brought on by a fall while playing in 1 the yard Sunday. Four Marriage licenses were issued i this week to the following parties: I Frederick H. Bloemker to Louisa' Peters. Charles E. Laisure to Elma E. Gilliom, Charles Heckman to Mary Zwick, John Witte to Martha Hockemeyer. Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hensley entertained a crowd of their friends last Friday. During the afternoon the ladies assisted the hostess in completing several handsome comforters to be used at the Hensley cottage now being erected at Rome City. The gentlemen came for supper and a sumptuous one it was too. The evening was enjoyed with cards and other games. The Bluffton News of Tuesdayevening said: Mrs. Roliert Allison arrived last night from Birmingham. Alabama, and is visiting here with her daughter, Mrs. Harry Deam. Mr. Allison is also here and has been quite ill for two weeks at the home of \ his daughter, but is now on the road Ito recovery. He and Mrs. Allison ! spent part of the winter in Cuba and I she stopped on the v. ay home to visit with a daughter in Birmingham, i They will stay here until he can be i removed home lo Decatur. Jury Commissioners Harry Moltz i and David Manlier were in session at I the county clerk's office and selected jurymen for the April term as follows: Petit Emerson Beavers, William Kunklehan, Herman Gerke, John W. Brodbeck, William E. Blakey. George W. Gates. John S. Gleckler. 'Joseph D. Moser, Jacob Koose, I. N. j Veley, George H. Bright and John W. Merryman. They also selected the following named gentlemen to serve as grand jurors: Christ Sherry. Vance Buckmaster, Albert J. Bailey, James Glendening, John W. Fetters and Emanuel Haecker. The commissioners were in their regular monthly session this week. The contract for an extra fill in the grade of the Pleasant Valley A Oak Grove gravel road, was given to Woods, Bowers A Co. for $565 that being the lowest bid. Plans and specifications were presented and adopted by the board ’ for several new- bridges. Also plans and specifications for gas engine and connecting cistern with main building, for the supplying of same with water. Liquor licenses were granted L. G. Botkins and Elsworth Burge of Geneva. Bids were ordered for the renting of the old fair grounds and ' the Willard Steele gravel road was !accepted. The city band has commenced rehearsing for concert purposes. It is their intention to give open air enter tainments once each week throughout the summer, and they are preparing to furnish high class music. Prof. Corbin informs us that the present organization is the best band he lias ever had which is saying volumes for their leatier is a veteran in the business. The custom of giving public concerts is a popular one. and there is nothing pleases young or old so well as to listen to band music for an hour. Os course it is necessary for our business mon to contribute a little cash each week, and when the solicit or comes to see you don't be stingy. A good band is a nice thing to have aliout town on numerous occasions and this is the way to encourage the boys. The concerts will begin in about two weeks, weather permitting.

Prof F. M. Falk and familv leave today for Jonesboro, Arkansas, where they expect to make their future home. Mr. Falk will engage in the timber business with Holthouae A Lynch for a fear or so after which he ejpects to go into business for himself. Prof. Falk has during his ten years residence here proven himself a musical instructor of great merit, for over twenty years he has given this art his undivided attention, has pre pared himself by thorough courses at Chicago, Valparaiso and other cities, and is perhaps the best music instructor ever in the city. Many Decatur people owe their knowledge of the art to him and his services have at all times been in great demand. He has served as music director at Bosse’s o[M*ra house since its opening, and has played the M. E. pipe organ for a number of years. His juvenile orcbes tra has won fame and several of the members have developed into splendid musicians, who with a further training may liecome professionals. Fred makes the change solely on ac count of his health which has not lieen the ls*st for several months, and he hopes io improve by the change of occupation. It is said that in no business is there such a mental or nervous strain ns in teaching music, and few live to a very old age. Mr. Falk and familv are popular here and have hosts of friends who regret their leaving, but wish for them the very best success possible.

A company has been incorporated i at Portland with a capital stock of SIO,OOO to run an automobile hack be-1 tween Dunkirk, Red Key and Port land. The fare for round trip is a dollar bill and the line expects to do a big business. Subscribers have yaid their dues to the Democrat this week as follows: A. A. Stove. G. Everett. John Tan j ner. L. A. DeVoss, Wm. Fruchte, Henry Zwick, John G. Miller, Henry j E. < feting, Louis Zwick. Ferdinand Blakey, Frank Pontius, August Con rad, George Gates, Lewis Kline and Mrs. Helen Bobo. The rooms formerly occupied by Falk's studio have been rented and fixed up for the office rooms of L. A. Graham, the well known Continental insurance agent, Schafer Peterson the popular attorney and Calvin Millercontractor. The new offices have a business like and cheerful appearance and old and new friends and clients are welcome. W. H. Tribolet, formerly editor of the Bluffton News, writes home from Mexico that in May 190.3, a large party of Mexican business men will visit Bluffton, Decatur and other Indiana towns. The party will be composed of a score of the wealthiest timber dealers and ranchmen of Mexico, and they will travel in a special car. Their object is to see the St. Louis fair and Chicago. Their families will accompany them. Mr. Tribolet says: All want to see Indi ana farms, the oil field and a country where mountains are unknown.” John Braun arrived home Monday night from Michigan City where he has served eighteen months. He was sent up on a charge of shooting with intent to kill, his sentence being from two to fourteen years. He has been a model prisoner and would have no doubt lieen given his freedom when his two years are up which is next fall. However on account of the very serious illness of his wife Dr. Costello and P. G. Hooper went before Governor Mount some ten days ago and asked that he be pardoned. The matter was taken up at the recent meeting of the Pardon board and the request granted. A man named Myers was instantly killed at Tocsin yesterday noon by a west bound Chicago A* Erie fast train due here at 12:38. Mr. Myers is a blacksmith and his shop is located near the railroad, with the east view shut off. It is believed that the unfortunate man started to cross the track and the fast train was upon him before he knew it. He was horribly mangled and small pieces of his bixiy were scattered long the track for many feet. The victim is said to have been about sixty years old and was known to many of our citizens. Another report of the accident savs that the victim was in an intoxicated condition and fell on the track ahead of the train. The Central and Western Oil Co's No. 14 well on the Studabaker farm is showing the best record of any well at the present time: it is still doing close to 5<X) barrels per day. This well is located in Blue Creek township and was drilled in by E. F. Walsh. The pool northeast of Muncie in Delaware and Randolph counties in the vicinity of Parker City, is attracting considerable attention. It is claimed by oil men that when the pipe line reports are printed for March, it will show the Indiana field increasing and will show the daily average to lx* about 20.000 barrels. This is half as much as the production from the Ohio oil field from more than double the number of wells. It is further claimed that the crude product from Indiana would equal in quantity that from Ohio were it not for the stringent gas laws in this state. Geneva Herald. A number of the public school teachers o! this city, in fad nearlv all of them were at South Bend the last three days of last week attending the annual meeting of the Teachers' State Association.. They returned, home Saturday night and report an instructive, interesting and delightful time. The visitors were treated in a most hospitable manner by the clever citizens of South Bend, who did everything in their power to entertain the guests and uphold the reputation of the city as one where Indianians are always welcome. The lectures and other parts of the program were in charge of able and proficient instructors and each meeting was crowded with the teachers, each eager to get what was in the lessons. The visitors wen* shown through the various South Bend manufactories, among them the Studabaker wagon works, largest con cern of the kind in the world and were also allowed a visit through Notre Dame, the great Catholic uni versity. The sessions of the association were more largely attend)*! than usui|l and the membership roll reached 2,852, the highest in its history. The meetings next yeai will be at Richmond. Officers elected were: Superintendent, D. A. Tambright, Kendallville, president: Russell K. Bedgood, vice president: Adelaide . Bayler. of Wabash, receiving sucre 'tarv: D. A. EUebarger, of Richmond, i railroad secretary and W A. Miller, : of Crawfordsville, treasurer.

Uncle Johnny Reed has celebrated I : the 103rd anniversary of his birth, the ! I same occurring last Thursday, April 3rd. Quite a number of relatives and i neighbors were present and assisted in making the day a memorable one. j Uucle Johnny is still hale and hearty and bears evidehce of living to celebrate many more anniversaries and we hope he dees. A suit has been filed in the Jay circuit court at Portland under the following caption: Coupler. Francis A Oppenheim vs Black. The plaintiffs some time ago purchased some oil property, paying for it $16,000. It later developed that the property was worth only $9,000 and an effort is being made to recover the difference. The plaintiffs in the case hail from Bluffton. A suit to set aside a conveyance of real estate has berm on trial here this week, the ease originating at Huntington and entitled Louis F. Hier and Mary Hier vs. A. E. Helm and S. i Jackson. The case was first venued to Wells county by the defendants and then to this county by the plaintiffs. Attorneys Lesh A Lesh and Branyon A Teightner of Huntington and L. C. De Voss of this city represent the plaintiff and Judge Watkins of Huntington and W. H. Eichhorn of Bluffton the defendants. The ease was submitted yesterday after noon. Catherine Wolfe was born in Fair field county, Ohio, June 7. 1825. and died in Adams county, Indiana, April 5, 1902, aged 76 years 9 months and 28 days. She was married to Wm. H. Wolfe in 1841, living happy until his death in 1871. To this union were born twelve children, of whom but one survives, S. C. Wolfe. Mother was converted and became a member of the Methodist church at Rockford, Ohio in 1861, the last few years she lived in faith bearing her sufferings with patience and was ready when i the Master called her home. Funeral; services were conducted by Rev.' Harlo Mann. Charles Leßrun has left the community and will probably not make himself very numerous here for a time at least, as officers are looking for him on a serious charge. One evening last week Charley got on a “slam” and while in that condition imagined he was vice president of the Old Adams County Bank, anyway he made out a cheek for ten dollars and signed W. H. Niblick’s name thereto. He presented it first to John Schafer at the Erie saloon, who saw at a glance that it was a forgery and refused to cash it. Leßrun then went across the street to Woods’ meat market and succeeded in getting the money for his worthless paper. He went back to Schafer’s saloon took a few more drinks and then got out of town. John Longenberger of this county, who has l>een under arrest several weeks for complicity in the Willshire burglaries was tried at Van Wert last week ami acquitted. Although five prisoners were brought from Columbus who claimed that John was with them, he succeeded in proving an alibi and the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. It is said that he told a straight forward story on the stand and gave a good impression. He said he was the one who had put the officers on the trail of the guilty parties and they had implicated him to get even. He also stated that he left the country to avoid appearing; against his brothers in law, and at his wife’s special request. Immediately following his acquittal he was re-ar-rested on a similar charge and his bond fixed at S2OO which he gave. His trial on this charge will not come tip for several weeks at least and it is the general belief that he will not be tried again at all. Ed. Wilgus, the crook who swindled many people in this locality recently, by taking fake subscriptions for leading papers and magazines and who after being acquitted here was taken to Bluffton on a similar charge escaped from the Wells county jail Sun day night Wilgus is pretty clever and has away of winning the good feelings of those with whom he is as sociated. He worked this racket at Bluffton and had the sheriff and fam ily believing that he actually would refuse to leave jail if he had the opportunity. However beseems to have planned his escape for some time and had been laughing up his sleeve at how easy it would be when the proper time came. He left a note in his cell stating that he would have left much sooner only he liked the company of his fellow prisoners ami hated to leave them. He expressed himself as well pleased with the treatment he received and said that he deeply regretted the step he was about to take. However he promised to go to Deca tur and tell the boys how much nicer he was treated here than at that I place. This note had lieen written I several days. He had been complain . | ing of pains in the stomach and had taken several doses of soda, lining al- :' lowed to go to the kitchen for the , stuff himself. About eight o'clock he ,! decided to take another dose and went i' after it. Some minutes afterwards he ' was missed ami in fa -t is still missing. , , He is a smooth '.'rafter and the Wells . county officials should have d 'alt I with him as such.

CIRCULATION 2800 WEEKLY®

A copy of the Boulder, Colorado Herald, with an illustrated account of theii developed oil fields, has reach ed us with the compliments of Noah Brandy berry, a former Adams county | genius. He has been located there for several years and now is right in the swim, being extensively engaged in the real estate business. Their oil field is what the boys may safely term a corker, and bids fair to rival anything of the kind in that section of the country. Several companies are drilling, and the fever is at fire heat. Harvy D. Rice, engineer for the Adams County Lumber company has received a diploma from the Interna tional Correspondence school of Scran ton, Pa. His course of studies has been in the line of work he has always followed, that of a steam engineer and Harve is now well prepared for any job in his line. The Scranton school is the best of its kind in existence and it. is no small honor to have in your possession a diploma from them, for it is significant of many hours of study and labor, as their final examinations are very difficult. The grand musical by Prof. Fret! Falk and class at the opera house Friday night was a complete success. A crowded house greeted the performance and each did their part well, refleeting credit upon students and instructor. The affair was given as a closing of Prof. Falk’s wd4k in Deca tur and he has a right to be pleaser! with it. Among those who took part were the Misses Rose Geary, Gertrude Forbing, Clara Terveer, Florance Sprunger, Mary and Greit aCoil and Bessie Harruff and Messrs Louis Holthouse, Herman Yager, Tony Holthouse, Justen Hall. Harvey Lee. Jesse and Albert Sellemeyer and Master Ralph Moser. As the tax assessors are now mak ing the rounds it may lie of interest to know what is required concerning i the dogs. When the assessor comes around all dogs owned are to lie re- : ported to him and the taxes paid. If ! this is not complied with, the person failing to do so shall be fined not less than ssnor morethans2s. If the asses sor fails to perform his duty he is liable to a fine of not less than $lO nor more than S2O. Making a false statement to the assessor is punishable by a fineof not more than SIOO. Keeping a dog that is dangerous to live stock is punishable by a fine of not less than $lO nor more than SSO, Keeping a dog without a receipt showing that the tax thereon is paid is a misdemeanor and the person so doing may be fined not exceeding $lO. Pat Touhey made one of the best balloon ascensions at Bluffton Satur day afternoon ever witnessed in the state, remaining in the air seventeen minutes, and going it is claimed 8,000 feet high or over a mile and a half. Touhey made an ascension here last fall during fair week and since then has decided to go into business for himself. Accordingly he purchased a big balloon and made his initial liow at Bluffton Saturday, the affair lining in charge of a committee of business men who gave Pat thirty-live dollars | and advertised the affair to draw a ! crowd to town. It was aliout five i o'clock when Pat told the guy ro|>« , holders to let go. and the machine i shot up into the air at a rapid gait, jHe had told the crowd that he proposed going as high as the balloon j would take him. and he did, goingen- . tirely out of sight. He alighted four ; miles from town making a 2,0(X) foot I parachute drop. He is billed for another ascension at Keystone in about j ten days, after which he expects to ! have many calls for his services. Frank Kelley, a young man. hand some, well dressed and apparently of good parentage is in jail, not a crimi nal but as an invalid. He and a brother John, ran away from their home at Cambridge Springs, Pa., some two years ago, and went to Can ada. After a while there they tieeid <*l to enter the army and accordingly - eulietetl. Shortly afterward they were sent to South Africa to assist the English army in putting down the Boers. They remained there aliout eighteen months, when their time of service expired and thev immediately left far home. They came to New Orleans and thence to Cincinnati when they ran out of money. The idea of sending home for funds didn’t strike them very favorable ami they decided to go through via the through freight route. They got to Huntington and Tuesday after noon Ixiardt>d a freight Ixiund east and while baring bad luck would in course of time have taken them clear home. When within two miles of this city they were noticed by a brake man who ordered them off, and they unused to the ways of trauipdom jutii|M<d when the train was rushing along at full sptssl. John escaped unhurt but Frank received a badly sprained knet*. He was hel|s*d here by his brother, and Sheriff Erwin took the wounded bov in and sent for . Dr. J. M. Miller who is earing for the lad. He will be taken to the infirm arv today. While not serious it will ■ |M*rhaps lie ton days or mon* until he . can be taken home. His brother left II yesterday for home and will send money for Frank to go home first 1 Class.
