Place company. Harry C. James who tried to pass a forged check two wees ago, was tried Tuesday morning. He plead guilty, was fined ten dollars and given a short jail sentence. One thing that takes away a good deal of the pleasure for a women in camping out where you sleep on the ground is that there is no chance to look for a man under the lied. The races at Steele's Park July 4th will be the best ever seen here or anywhere around and many people will attend from a distance. 11500 in purses will positively be given and many good horses have already been entered. Another heavy rain Tuesday morning caused just a little too much dampness and farmers would have been better suited had it been postponed a week. However, it was the slow, steady kind that rarely causes a great deal of damage. Louis Gerke died at his home at Fort Wayne, Monday morning as the result of an operation performed Sunday. For many years he resided in this county and' was well known here. The funeral services were held at Ft. Wayne yesterday afternoon.

Delegates to the state convention came home this morning and all say the meeting was an enthusiastic and ■ spirited one. Democrats from all over the state have great confidence in their ability to win this year. Pork is an important article of food among the poorer class of the German empire, and its steady rise in price, owing to the tariff, has resulted in great hardship to them. Prices are higher now than they have been for many years. ' H. A. Fristoe. J. R. Gralier and James Fristoe were among the Decatur delegation who took in the Chicago & Erie excursion to Columbus Sunday.

At the great Water Carnival in Germany every year, a feature of the festival is always furnished by Hagenback. the world famous dealer in and trainer of animals. Residents of this country who have traveled on the other side know that Hagenback as amusement caterer, is to the old world what John Robinson is to the new. Just two months ago John F. Robinson, the acknowledged king of showmen, purchased a herd of four educated elephants from Hagenback. Their act is now a feature of the John Robison show, which will exhibit at Decatur June 18.

The Entre Nous and Columbian base ball game at Steele's Park Sunday was stopped at the end of the fourth inning by rain, the score being seven to two in favor of the former. We have received the following sub scription payments for the Democrat this week from M. V. B. Archbold, Henry Bussick, Henry F. Gallmeyer, Mrs. John Tague, Frank Jones, Henry Eiting, Philip Gebhart. E. R. Merriman. Joseph Shilling, Jonathan Rian and William Shamerloh. Rev. L. W. A. Luckey of the Sixth Presbyterian church. Indianapolis was in the city yesterday and gave us a pleasant call. He is getting along nicely in his field and we note with pleasure that he is being recognized as one of the ablest ministers of the capitol city. He was chosen Memorial day chaplain for the exercises in that city Friday and conducted the Crown Hill services. The memorial services of the Chaplaid post were also held from the church on the Sunday previous. Rev. Luckey's eldest son was a graduate of the Indianapolis law school a few days ago and has now accepted a place in one of the best law firms in that city. To speak of the merits of John Robinson’s Ten Big Shows Combined is merely “love's labor lost” with the people of this nation. There is not an amusement lover on the continent that is not fully cognizant of the fact that it is now and has ever been the l>est among the best. Everybody does not know however, that during the last winter’s vacation the show has received augmentation so vast and so important as to dwarf by comparison even its own great exhibitional excellence. We al lude to the grand, gorgeous and sublime biblical spectacle of “Solomon, i His Temple and the Queen of Sheba," in which innumerable people are ac tive participants, and which is complete and scenographic in effect typical reproduction of biblical personages and events prolific in pagentic and processional features, lavish in entrancing ballets and terpsichorean disvertisments. and rich in trappings and appointments. requiring for its production, the largest stage ever constructed, and conspicuously portraying sacred events, scenes and incidents such as the Judgment of Solomon. arrival of the Queen of Sheba, the City of David, the Palace and Temple, the Walls and ‘owers of Jerusalem, Solomon’s 700 wives, the Sacred Ark of the Covenant, the great Ivory Throne, procession of War Chariots. Slaves bearing incense, lovely Cresset Dancing Girls, martial and courtly parades, exciting chariot races. This eminently moral, historical and mind elevating spectacle will commend itself to every lover of the sacred and beautiful. The Robinson Show with its sublime spectacular accession is to exhibit in Decatur. Wednesday, June 18.
