GUS ROSENTHAL, The Square Man Decatur, Indiana

One of the most attractive Christ mas windows in town is the one at the Schafer Hardware store. Tastilv arranged with a display of the latest things in cutlery, phonographs and hardware novelties, the window attracts the attention of every passer by. This firm is one of the progressive and believe in keeping in line with twentieth century ideas. “J. N.” the only philosopher, with full name partly sacrificed in the cause of truth and philosophy, light ened the pressure in a short talk at the Methodist church Sunday even ing. He announces that early in the coming year he will again visit Deca tur and expects to continue bis work to which he has devoted so many years of his life. With New Year day less than two weeks away it would be well for many to begin thinking of good resolutions, that we may be ready to enforce them on that occasion when each person starts in on a new leaf. We feel that we can improve some and do doubt every citizen of this good town could do likewise without serious injury to himself. Very soon after Christmas many re ports are made at the postotliceof missing packages, or a shortage in the contents of packages that were re ceived. A little precaution on the part of the sender would do away with the most of this trouble. In the first place, articles should be careful ly packed so that they will not easily crush, for there may be half a car load of mail piled on top of your parcel lie fore it reaches its destination. Address the parcel plainly on two sidt s at least and always place your own name and address on the corner of the box. Put no letter inside unless you wish to pay letter postage. A card with the name and a simple Christmas greeting is permissable in merchandise packages. Write the word “book” or “photos” on parcels containing those things only. The following is the unclaimed letters in the Decatur postofllce: A. M. Kern, James S. Wheeler, Miss Maggie Bennet, John W. Clark, J. T. Clifton, Frank Colchin, Jacob Bollinger, C. C. Cory, J. F. W. Braun, Earnest Brown, Earnest C. Bilker, Earnest Ford, Ruthy Drake, H. F. Drobisb, M. J. Hallahan, Henry Haw kins, Ed Helvie, John Helm, J. R. Glencey, Miss Eliza Houser, Miss Clara Goodman, M. N. Lazaros, M. M. Kayler, Albert Keason, Grace Liby, Walter Johnson, Earnest Karte, Chris tian Freanle, Mrs, Neithen Juniper, Philip Martz, Mrs. J. S. Nelson, Frank Meeks.

Dr. Dick Neptune will leave next week for a few weeks’ hunting trip in the wilds of Arkansas. As Dick usually bags something good, his friends are already preparing for his return. The firm of R. B. Gregory & Co., has been dissolved, Miss lantha Greg ory retiring, and after the former re ] turns from his Arkansas hunting trip he will begin business by himself. 1 The Gregory store is the finest of its kind. Mrs. John D. Hale who has l>een j quite ill for some time past, and is at J Fort Wayne under care of a special ist, was reported yesterday as slightly improved. Her large circle of friends here hope for a continuance of this good news and that she may soon be entirely recovered. Indiana state banks are thriving, according to the last reports made to the auditor of state. The report ans ' were the call made November 25.

Au unusual novelty is the finale of the third act of the new and thrilling realistic melodrama “A Ruined Life” which is the attraction at the opera house, Monday, December 23. The action takes place in a magnificent drawing room within the walls of a ' palatial mansion on Fifth avenue, i New York City. Candelabra and ' heavy electrical chandeliers are important and brilliant features, and at a critical moment to the heroine and J her plans just as she is about to be [ placed under arrest, by a deft movement she turns the drawing room from a scene of brilliance into total darkness and escapes. As it is the climax of the act, the curtain falls on a totally dark stage, a very unique and novel effect. This new play “A j Ruined Life” has met with a great | degree of success during the present season. The play is splendidly I mounted with four complete sets of I effective scenery. The cast is extremely capable and an exceedingly 1 pretentious one for a |s>pular price j production ami besides Elsie Crescy 1 includes E. Laurence Lee, Anna Hardiman, George W. Conklin, Dave A. Flynn, Fielding Thatcher. W illiam A. McKenzie, Blanche Holt, Jack Donovan, Helen Dean. Charles F. Southworth and Charles Hall.
