The first real thunder storm of the season came Sunday evening and with it came a heavy rain of several hours duration. No serious damage done in the city. Charles Woodward who is engaged as a brakeman on the Clover Leaf was in town several days this week. He was in the wreck near Willshire last Saturday and was jarred considerably. However he is suffering no serious results. The board of education which comprises the township trustees and members of the city and town school board, met at the office of the county superintendent Monday and elected a truant officer. Lemuel Johnson the old democratic wheel horse of M ashington township was chosen and the selection was a good one. Mr. Johnson will perform the duties of the office with care and is deserving of the recognition given. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Deam of Bluff ton were here yesterday morning on their way home from Fort Wayne where they had been to see Miss Maud Adams, the famous actress who appeared at the Temple Tuesday evening in “Quality Street. Mr. Deam and Miss Adams are first cousins but had never met before. Durthe stay at Fort Wayne however Mr. and Mrs. Deam enjoyed a pleasant visit with her and found her a perfect lady and a clever hostess. She is one of America's leading actresses and is said to be at her best in “Quality Street.’’

Charles Ahr who lives about eight miies northeast of town is looser 5500 as the result of a cyclone which struck his place about seven o'clock Sunday evening. The barn roof was torn off, wind mill blown over, fences scattered all over the farm and fifteen apple trees broken down. Mr. Ahr and family had been away from home and were just returning when the storm broke. Charles says the cloud was of funnel shape and swooped down on his farm at a terrific rate doing its work in a very few momenta. No other damage was done in the community. A wreck occurred on the Clover Leaf railwav three miles east of Willshire, Saturday morning. The tram was a freight pulled by two engines and .was running at a terrific rate when the rails spread and a serious looking smash up followed. A half dozen cars were wrecked, several of them so badly that they had to be burned. No one was injured in the least, that part of the accident seeming miraculous. Two wrecking crews were sent to the scene and worked incessantly until Monday cleaning up the debris. In the mean time the trains were run over the Erie between here and Ohio City.

A surprise party on Bessie and Bertha Drummond given at their home on Marshall street Saturday afternoon in honor of their eighth birthday. About thirty-five were present and all had a good time. Refreshments were served late in the afternoon. Decatur doesn't seem to be the only Indiana city where election surprises were sprung Tuesday. At Portland Jacob Denny was elected mayor and has the honor of being the first democrat ever elected to that position in the city's history. The same thing occurred at Marion when Col. Kiley a democrat overcome a 1500 majority. Democrats were also successful at Anderson. Ellwood, Union City and other places heretofore republican. At Bluffton the entire democratic ticket was successful with the exception of clerk and marshal. Charles Carsons and John Crosbie being chosen for those offices, Hall & Longs’ big city show have been entertaining Decatur people this week, closing a three days’ engage meat last evening. At each perform ance the the large tent was crowded and the managers have again demonstrated the fact that they have a big ger and better show, for ten cents than is usually given for a quarter. The same company were here last vear and so creditably did they conduct themselves that the mere an nouncement that thev were coming back was sufficient to guarantee the large crowds. They have an entirely different show- this year than ever before and carry features that seem impossible for the price. They have the same band as last year and we predict for them a very prosperous year. Messrs. Hall and Long are perfect gentleman and certainly deserve success.

Miss Lessie Sutherland died Saturday afternoon at the home of her mother in the south part of town as a result of a long seige of tuberculosis. For several years she has been in failing health and it was feared that her lungs were effected. However, it was hoped that with good care she might be able to outgrow the terrible affliction, but several months ago symptoms developed of such a nature as to warn her friends that she could lie with them but a short time. She kept up wonderfully and was only confined to her bed a few days. Her mother, who for years has given her every care possible, is heartbroken and deserves the sympathy of all. Lessie was a bright and attractive young lady and had many admirers and true friends among her acquaintances. She was eighteen years of age. The funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Allen from the Presbyterian church.

A hint for farmers. If you want to see the catapiller or the worm that forms a web on the bark of the trees bat their eyes and die, apply coal oil with a bunch of feathers tied to make a brush. Use an old tin cup. 1 wish every farmer and fruit grower would apply the oil and eradicate the pests. A. R. Wolfe, Decatur, Ind. The trusts and the sky have met in embrace. They met, as you see, in a very high place. The sky would not budge or loosen its grip, so the trust took wings and made the whole trip. What shall we eat, oh, what shall we eat. Vegetables scarce and we can’t afford meat. Milk, fish and eggs are way out of sight and the peach crop has suffered its annual blight. This is the song the butcher man sings, as he slices the w’afer-like steak. “I’ve liver and neck and the horns and the tail; now, which my good sir will you take?” With porterhouse steak at twenty-two cents and tenderloin steak at twenty, we’ll purchase a hair from the tail of a co • and for boarder t’will make soup a-plenty. There's nothing to eat and little to wear and soon there’ll be no place to sleep in. So if you're not a big millionaire you’d best dig a grave and creep in. Unless—happy thought we cannibals turn and eat all the close corporations. Let’s butcher the trust and eat till we bust, then rise to happier stations.

The dedication of the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors’ monument at Indianapolis will be a notable event in the history of the state. Governor Durbin has issued a proclamation requesting that May 15th, the date of the dedication, lie observed as a holiday throughout the state, that all public business be suspended wherever possible and that flags be displayed upon all public and private buildings. The day of dedication will be observer! as a great pat riotic festival, in which the surviving heroes of all wars have been invited to participate. Distinguished guests from all parts of the country will be present and take part in the ceremonies, while tlie sons and daughters of Indiana will fill the capital as it never has been filled before. Theceremon ies of dedication will lie simple, but impressive and in harmony with the spirit of patriotism that conceived and erected the monument. The unveil ing will lie called to order in the morning by the governor of the state. After an invocation General Lew Wallace, the presiding officer, will deliver an address. Maior Gustave V. Menzies, on behalf of the board of control, will present the monument to the state. Governor Winfield T. Durbin accepting it for the commonwealth. Others who will take part in the days’program are Gen. John W. Foster, J. Whitcomb Riley and Gen. Eli Torrance, commander-in-chief of theG. A. K.

N. C. Coverdale has completed his ice cream parlor at the rear of the News stand and a glance therein convinces us that his goods are going to taste alright. Everything is attractive and neat and if we mistake not Clark will enjoy a liberal patronage in this department. Gentry Bros, famous trained animal shows, the largest exhibition of the kind in the world, will be in this city next Tuesday. The Gentry Bros, performance this season has been greatly augmented, in addition to which, is presented a miniature Zoological display, showing the various hay and meat eating animals in their infancy, an attraction which is calcu lated to increase the joys of the little folks, who are the main patrons of Gentry Bros, famous shows. In addition to the numerous company of performing dogs, ponies, monkeys and elephants, which have always l>een seen with the show, and entirely new innovation is introduced in the presentation of a drove of performing Silierian camels, lielieved to lie the onlv ones ever educated either in this or foreign lands. The many resources of Gentry Bros, combined exhibitions will be properly indexed and displayed in the combined street parades, which will be given on the morning of the date of exhibition. The old adage that a fool and his money are soon parted, was very practically demonstrated on the streets last week. A young man dressed in the latest style stepped from the train and upon inquiry it was learned that he was the “sole representative of the National Electric Appliance Co., of Chicago.” After supper he went to one of the local livery barns and hired a horse and buggy for the evening. Driving to the corner of Main and Meridian he soon had quite a crowd about him. Then began his his spiel of introducing the appliances manufactured by his company. He placed on sale a small electric inhaler, costing a possible ten cents, for which he received the sum of one dollar. About fifteen of these were sold with the assurance to each purchaser that he would lie given a cash prize upon the return of the ticket, which was given with each purchase. Aliout fifteen hungry suckers walked up and planked down a hard earned dollar and received in return a ten cent “inhaler” and a “cash prize” worth many times the amount invested. After having sold all he could with much ado in connection with a small box filled with conn terfeit money, he called for the tick ets. To each man holding a ticket was given an envelope containing a “cash prize” of one cent. Portland Commercial Review. Even with the warning, should this guy strike Decatur, he would doubtless do a land office business.

Miss Grace Gregg was the victim of a very delightful “shower” party Wednesday night, being taken comj pletely by surprise.

Elmer Stevenson of Chicago May 8. The sou via- ; irs consisted of fancy decorated cards, I heart shaped, and bearing the inscription. “April Showers Bring May ’ Flowers.” Kokomo Dispatch.
