Riley R. Bradford, of Geneva was in the city yesterday, business] being the drawing card. Recorder Gallogly was at Geneva the latter part of last week, taking a look at his old stamping grounds. Mrs. Frank M. Schirmeyer is in Chicago a guest of relatives and where she will remain for several days. Spring has surely arrived if the grind organ, Itallians, blind men and other people looking for gifts count for aught. Fred Voight of Fort Wayne, was here yesterday looking after his property interest and shaking hands with old friends. The printers and operators are scheduled for a ball game at Steele's park Sunday afternoon and it is an nounced as one of the season's fiercest conflicts. Next Tuesday is the day for the city election and the usual interest is being shown. Everything points to a democratic victory for councilman in every ward and for all city offices. Elmer Johnson left Saturday for Pittsburg where he is busy disposing of two cars of fine horses, which were freighted to that famous horse market Friday. The season has been a profitable one for Decatur shippers. George Meihls who has been in poor health for two years past was taken to Fort Wayne last Friday, where an operation was performed, resulting very successfully. He is said to be improving nicely and his friends believe he will now regain his former vigor. Next Monday is the last day for paying yom spring installment of taxes, and in consequence the treas urer’s office is doing a land office bus inoss. The paying of taxes at the Geneva and Berne banks, however, relieve the pressure at the office here, not a little. The production of •‘Faust" by Berber 1 . Labadie and company at Boaae’s opera house Monday evening was very fair but by the majority of those who witnessed the production it was not considered as good as that by Porter J. White, who has appeared here several times. The other day one of our school teachers was attempting to instruct her class in the mystery of subtree traction and was explaining that the thing subtracted must be of the same denomination as the thing subtracted from, saying, "you can not take five apples ’from six peaches or six oranges from eight lemons, when up went the hand of a boy ih the class. “What is it, Johnny?" asked the teacher. “Please, ma'am, can t you take five quarts of milk from six cows?”

J. B. Buhler will be home tomorrow from a several weeks absence at Hot Springs. Arkansas, where he was taking treatment for a complicated case of kidney trouble. The treatment was beneficial and Mr. Buhler is much improved. A crowd of Decatur fishermen will leave one week from Saturday for Rome City where they will enjoy a weeks’ outing. Among them will be D. M. Hensley. P. G. Hooper. C. H. Colter. George Flanders, E. L. Carroll, J. Q. Neptune. C. K. Bell, John Smith. R. B. Gregory and J. H. Heller. S. H. Hocker and Vince Bell of the French Township Mutual Fire Insurance Company have sent out statements to its members levying an as sessment of .*3.60 per member. This is done in order to pay lossess of 20 > which the companv suffered in last weeks fires. J. H. McLain, near Berne, had $750 insurance and Mrs. Mahensmith. near Tocsin, *l5O. The Ringling circus is negotiating for a site at Marion for winter quart ers. The show now winters in Chicago but that is a very expensive place for such a purpose. It will mean for Marion extensive buildings and a large force of permanent employes for the winter months as well as the purchase of quantities of supplies from local farmers and dealers. Carl Venis who has been employed at this office for nearly a year past resigned Saturday and has since been busy removing his family to Bluff ton, Avhere he will at once take charge of the Bluffton Press in which plant lie owns a half interest. Carl is a clever boy, and a comi>etent printer. We wish him the best there is in the Wells county capital. Arthur Callow, one of the popular citizens of I nion township, and well known here died yesterday morning of lung trouble. He had been ill for i- me time, but nevertheless the announcement of his death came as a shock to his many acquaintances. He was about thirty years old, and leaves a wife and two children to mourn their sad loss. Charley Van Camp, eldest son of Anson Van Camp, arrived home Thursday morning bearing in his possession an honorary discharge after but four months service in the IJ. 8. army. He enlisted al Fort Wayne early :n Jan* uary and shortly afterwards was sent to San Francisco. After a month’s drill he was assigned to a company and ordered to the Philippines. When several days out he says disease had so affected the soldiers that they were returned to San Francisco and shortly after arriving there an order came to (hscharge all who were under weight. The rough usage had cut Charley down considerable and he was in eluded in the list and sent home.

An excursion train returning from Rome City Sunday evening about eight o’clock ran into a freight train at Wallen six miles north of Fort Wayne. Four cars including two passenger coaches and the smoker were overturned and two dozen people were slightly injured. The fire man and engineer jumped and escaped. It was certainly a lucky affair. The legal and real estate firm of Harruff A Lenhart changed today to Lenhart & Lenhart, the new member being E. Burt Lenhart, Mr. Harruff retiring. The old firm have been in existence just two and a half years, have built up a very good business, and in all should lie very well pleased with themselves. E. Burt Lenhart was deputy clerk of the Adams circuit court for eight years, has a large acquaintance and is capable of the place and position now occupied. The retiring member has not as yet outlined his future course of actions, but in judging from the past he will not long remain in idleness. A lady of this community of a jealous disjxisition who sus|>ected that her husband was in the habit of kiss ing the hired girl resolved to detect him in the act. After watching him a few days she saw him come home one evening and pass quietly into the kitchen. The girl was out for the evening and the kitchen was quite dark. Burning with jealously the

I wife took a few matches and hastily j | placed a shawl over her head as the I girl often did, and entered the kitchen by the Back door, and immedia tely she was seized and kissed in an ardent manner. With a heart almost bursting the wife prepared to admin ister a terrible rebuke to the faithless spouse and tearing herself fr m the found embrace, struck a match and stood face to face with the hired I man. The husband says his wife has j lieen exceptionally good to him since that eventful night. President Norton of the Clo»er Leaf is determined to stop the des truction of propertv along the line as sc '«ral hundred dollars worth has been destroyed within a year past To do this notices have been posted along the route which read as fol lows: Toledo, St. Louis A Western R.
