ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME.

VOLUME XLVI.

Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Conter entertained a few of their friends Saturday evening at a duplicate whist parity. It was an enjoyable event for every guest and they have so expressed themselves. Boyd Daugherty received a very Pad fall while at work about his barn jyard the other evening, caused by stepping on a small patch of ice. An unconfirmed rumor says a lantern he carried in his hand was rdung a distance of thirty rods. Mrs. Samuel Doak slipped and fell l|i few evenings ago while at work Lbout her home. In the fall she hrew her head around in such a man aer that the leaders of the neck were >adly wrenched and she has been suf''ering considerably as a result. The services of ’Squire James H. Smith were again called for Thursday ■vening, last, and he responded, unitcng in marriage John L. Case and "Miss Annie Hill. Both are well- ,. inown young people and the bride Sears the distinction of being the ixth member of her family married jy ’Squire Smith. The beautiful new school house at , reneva has been completed and 'School began in that convenient Structure Monday. It is a modern ■building and cost, with the finishing pouches nearly $20,000. Med Miller ‘did the frescoing work, which is said ,'o be as good as can be found any-| ■There on the planet. •’ A well-dressed stranger whose acrons seemed rather queer to Night‘policeman Mangold, was placed in ‘ ail Monday night and sent out of ! ;own the next day on a hurry-up or p3er. He is believed to have been a burglar and this suspicion was made ’he stronger by a skeleton key being ~ound about the jail after he had been ismissed. T Mrs. Isabelle Meyers, fifty-two Tjears old, and well known over the *»orth part of the county, died Tuesday morning at the home of her sis;;ar, Mrs, Henry Lankenau in this 7 ity. She has been a sufferer from disease for some time, and bough her manv friends knew that ’ he close of her life was not far away, s (e evertheless the news of her death brings sadness to all. She resided ‘jt Friedheim for many years, coming ! ‘>ere leas than three months since, •jt'he funeral services will be held this 'afternoon from the Lutheran church , t Freidheim. Five children remain > mourn the loss of a kind and lov■J'lg mother. ret There is a staingent move on foot !Bt y the state officers to make a better rowing in regard to the collection of —elinquent taxes. They are urging junty treasurers all over the state to ush the matter of collecting taxes ue the county and state. At IndiDiapohs they are seizing pianos and ■vying on household goods. This is a unpleasant duty for the custodian ' the county’s funds to perform, but nder the law there is nowayofdodgig his duty, and Adams county peo,Jeneed not be surprised if at an irly date the tax collector calls with >,; 3wer to confiscate property to satisfy te demands of the county. !»• ( Trustee Fred Koldeway came in aturday to inform us that he had ist returned from the county infirm-:,l-y, where he had taken Josiah ~ ague, whose former residence was in nion township. While there Mr. raber showed him the magnificence the new infirmary buildings, which the superintendent’s resimce and in which there was no sign ‘ distinction. As usual he is loud his praises of the management *iere, but this fever seems universal _everyone speaks in the same tone voice Wo might go on and elabate until we expired from exhausbn, and it would l>e the same song. r. and Mrs. Graber have but few juals and no superiors in their preset places, and the citizens of the mnty generally are proud of them. J', The prosperous town of Berne is to tve a new financial institution to lie Ijown as the Peoples’ State bank, I<f pd some Decatur capital is to lie in«sted in the enterprise. Tuesday's erne Witness said: Berne is to have (second bank. The volume of busi■ss transacted in Berne has increased ■for lormously of late years, especially icr'iie shipping business, so that a numir of enterprising business men are ;rj'nfidant that they can successfully |[L»mpete with an already strong bank. ,he stockholders of the new enter ise met Saturday in the Democrathall and organized, The follow g were electee! as directors for the ink: Ed Engeler, Julius C.

Obcatilß

The selling of seats at the St. i Mary’s Catholic church occurred last Sunday and was an event of considerable interest. W. A. Keubler acted I as auctioneer and did his duties well. The total receipts of the sale amount-; ed to SI2OO, this being 1700 more I than they brought at any sale heretofore. The Decatur Oil & Gas company have purchased the gas from the big Koose well owned by the Riverside company, same to be paid for at the rate of five cents per 1000 cubic feet, meter measurement. The deal was closed Thursday and this well will be attached to the line which furnishes gas to Willshire and Wren. The report of the city finance committee, C. D. Teeple, chairman, shows that the indebtedness of Decatur in 1898 was $113,785.53 and now is $105,727.96. This indebtedness includes city bonds, school, waterworks, and electric light bonds, which are paying their own way out and temporary loans, floating orders, etc. At the regular meeting of the board of county commissioners this week Dick Townsend was granted a liquor license, a petition for the Noah Winteregg ditch was filed and John W. Carven, Samuel Soldner and Joseph Johnson appointed viewers. A petition for the Andrew Miller ditch was also filed and Frank Davis, John Spooler and Henry Holbroke were appointed viewers. The board ordered that the bonds for the Brushwood College macadam road be issued in the sum of $5600, date January 15, 1903, payable ten bonds of SIOO each year after January 15,1905. The Friedheim church will be all completed this week, including furniture and carpets. The carpenters finished their work the first of the week, the contractors being Mann & Christen. The old bell was made in Chicago in 1854, and after a few repairs in the Van Camp shops it is better than ever, even after the lorn? service it has undergone. On next Sunday the congregation will meet and set a time for dedication which will be within a few weeks at the furthest. It is a mighty handsome church, the cost to exceed $15,000 and before the dedicatory services Iregin everyjeent of indebtedness will be paid at the rate of one hundred cents on the dollar Frank Dickey, the Clover Leaf brakeman, who was so badly injured at Bluffton a week ago Sunday morning, died at the Adams hotel in that city Monday night at 6:30 o’clock. At the time of the accident his left arm was so badly crushed that it became necessary to amputate it two inches below the shoulder. Dickey seemed to be improving for several days, then gangrene set in and another operation became necessary. This time the amputation was made at the shoulder joint, but the poor man was too weak to stand the shock and died four hours afterward. The deceased man was forty years old and leaves a wife and three children. That our neighboringcity, Hunting ton is destined to become a metropolis seems to be assured and she owes the fact to the great Chicago & Erie railway system. As a result of a radical change to be made in the plan of operating the Erie road, the population of that city will be largely increased. It is announced in the official circles that the present eleven divisions of the Erie are to be consolidated into three monster divisions, with terminals at Hornellsville, N. Y., Chicago and Huntington, Ind. This will necessitate a change I of location for thousands of engineers, firemen and conductors, now living at the terminals of the eleven divisions, who will have to live in one of the three cities that are to be the new terminals. These cities will also be made the official beadquarters for the principal officials. New Year’s day was a sad one for the family of Dick Boyd at Pleasant Mills. On the evening of that day little Eddie Boyd, eight years old, was playing in the street with another lad. They were throwing a stick around and enjoying the excitement as only boys can. While thus engaged, a stranger driving a horse to a single buggy and leading another horst, liehind came up close to where the boys were at plav and stopped. Just then the stick was thrown and landed behind the horse. Eddie ran over to pick up the stick and as he stooped over the horse kicked him on the forehead. The boy was taken home and Dr. Vizzard called, who at once sent for Dr. J. M. Miller of this city. An examination proved that the boy’s skull had been badly fractured and several pieces of bone were removed from the brain. At first it was feared the lad could not possibly live more than a day or so, but a report from him last evening said he was resting easier, and there are some hopes of his ultimate recovery. A specialist from Indianapolis attended him Tuesday, and aid the extent of the injuries could not be ascertained for about a week yet, when the change for lietler or worse may be expected. Eddie was a bright little fellow and the many friends of the family here hope for his speedy and complete re I covery.

DECATUR, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1903.

The marriage docket at County Clerk Johnson’s office this week shows that licenses were issued the past week to the following parties: Herman Bittner and Alice May Beltz, William Bowman and Aimee Baker, John L. Case and Annie E. Hill, Ottie H. Hockenberry and Lotta G. Ford, William R. Smith and Cora Hisey. Revival meeting at Clark’s Chapel now in ’ progress. Audiences good and very attentive. Meeting every night this week and next. On next Saturday evening, Miss Edith Waterman, a Deacconess from Chicago, will be with us and remain one week. You will miss a religious treat if you don’t hear her. Everybody come. A. D. Wagner, Pastor. Ed Wilgus who swindled a number of Adams county citizens out of a dollar or two each by taking fake subscriptions for various papers is now paying for his folly at Michigan City, having been sentenced from Wells county last week for a term of one to seven years. His wife made a great fight for him but lost and proved her faithfulness by going with him to Michigan City, where she has obtained a position and will stay until Ed’s time is out. An important meeting of the National Union, a fraternal and insurance order, was held Tuesday night at which time the auditing committee made their annual report and officers for the ensuing year were installed. The local order is in splendid financial condition and stands at the head of fraternal insurance orders. The new officers are as follows: W. E. Fulk, president: W. H. Niblick, vicepresident: H. Krick, speaker: T. R. Meore, ex-president; Jeff Bryson, secretary; Fred V. Mills, financial secretary; R. K. Allison, treasurer: A. H. Sellemeyer, chaplain; Henry Peters, usher; M. J. Butler, sargeant at arms: J. Haugk, door keeper: John. P. Spuller, L. G. Ellingham. D. B. Erwin, trustees. County Assessor Elias Crist is in receipt of a letter from Governor Durbin, chairman of the board of tax commissioners and county assessors, notifying him that the annual conference of this association will be held at the state capitol, January 13th, 14th and 15th. The meeting is to be a very important one as this is the year for the assessment and equalization of all property of the state. Plans will be formulated for the placing of all property upon duplicates and assessing same at its true value. A special program has been arranged and every countv assessor and as many township assessors as can will be present. Mr. Crist will attend as will possibly several others from this county. Last Friday, January 2, the Old Adams County Bank boast of the largest day’s business since the history of their organization, years ago. The volume of business for that day aggregated something like $150,000, a sum incomprehensible when it comes to connecting it with the banking hours of one day. The Old Adams has for years been the monetary center for Adams county and those who long have been connected with it in a financial way never dreamed of it transacting in one day a volume of business that excelled its capital stock. While it looks voluminous for the bank it also speaks in no uncertain tones of the solidity and vastness of the city of Decatur and county of Adams. There is no limit to our greatness. There is no better criterion of a town and its community than its banks, and this one day in the Old Adams in a measure tells the tale of Decatur, Indiana. Some business has been transacted in the Adams circuit court this week and as shown by the docket is as follows: State vs William Covalt, motion filed for new trial. State vs Oliver D. Reynolds, case dismissed and new one filed and continued until third Monday of February term. State vs Frank Ault, plea of guilty, fined five dollars. The twenty sa-loon-keepers charged with keeping slot machines have with one exception plead guilty and paid their fine of $25. Amanda Reisen vs Samuel Reisen, dismissed for want of prosecution, judgment against plaintiff for costs. Matthias Schafer vs John Schafer, reset for trial tenth Tuesday. Charles Edwards vs John D. Nidlinger et al, finding for defendant. Morris F. Connor vs Robert P. Davis’ estate, verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $2,000. Motion for new trial filed. Christian Brown vs Joseph Brown et al, waiver of issue and service of summons, rule to answer. lanthe Gregory vs Augustus C. Gregory, general denial filed by defendant. W. H. Niblick et al vs Adda Bolds et al, answer filed, Will Kelley enters appearance for Bolds <fc Bold, default as to National Supply company. Malinda Fronfield vs William Fronfield, dismissed upon motion bv plaintiff. Matthias Kirsch et al vs William K. Patterson et al, default of William E. and Bessie Patterson, appearance by Hooper for loan association, rule to answer. Samantha E. Young v» Gabriel Steinberger et al, demurrer by defendants overruled, separate answer filed by Susan Young, cross complaint filed, rule to reply.

About forty of the friends of Miss Agnes Mylot pleasently surprised her Sunday evening, progressive pedro was the main amusment of the evening and the first prize was won by Rose Martin and the “booby” was by “Fish” Mangold. Refreshments were served and the guests departed for their homes at a late hour. The out of town guests were Letta Mylot and Rebekah Bollinger of Huntington and Agnes Holthouse, of Jonesboro, Ark. New cases filed in court this week are Daniel N. Erwin, exparte, claim for services as sheriff, heard by D. D. Heller and bill allowed. Jacob Martin vs Mary B. Fordyce, acct, appealed from justice court. Otto Bolds vs William Shoemaker et al petition for writ of habeas corpus. Edward J. Kinney vs Continental Insurance Co. complaint on contract, demand SISOO. Daniel N. Erwin, petition for admission to bar. State vs Oliver D. Reynolds, kidnapping. Harry Studabaker, one of the most popular men of Bluffton, and quite well known here, was accidentally shot Friday morning. He is employed in the Studabaker bank and while reaching on a shelf for a calendar pulled en old revolver off on the floor. The jar discharged the pistol and the bullet entered Harry’s right leg just above the knee. He was taken home and a careful examination by Dr. Cook failed to locate the bullet, which is believed to have taken an upward course and lodged in ' the hip. He is recovering nicely and will soon be as sound as ever no doubt, as it is not believed any permanent injuries will result. The Superior Oil company, composed of Illinois capitalists, and the Illinois Oil company, composed of Illinois bankers, each with a capital of $1,000,000, have been organized to do business in the Indiana oil field. Both companies will have offices in Hartford City. The Illinois company has leases in that county that adjoin the holdings of the Diamond company, which has numerous paying producers. Members of the company are now arranging to take up all the valuable leases they can secure. Their operations will be on a scale the proportion of which has never before been attempted in this field. Much interest is now centered in the success of the initial well, which will be drilled in a few days on the driving park land in Grant county. Stella Weldy.a popular young lady of Peterson, died Monday noon after an illness from lung trouble of over two years. She was a lovable, kind and Christian girl whom it was a pleasure to know and whom to know was to admire. Everything possible was done for her that the life not yet at the noontide might be spared at least a few years longer, but the Creator called and her life upon this earth has closed. She spent several months in the west recently with the hope that a change of climate might check the illness which had taken so determined a grip upon her, but to no avail. She bore her long seige of illness with great fortitude, and as only those ean who have faith in the happiness of a life hereafter. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Weldy and was twenty-two years old. A brother and sister besides the par-, ents remain to mourn their lose. Th »! funeral services will be held this afternoon at the Beery church. Sunday’s Fort Wayne Journal Gazette said: One of the many joyous family gatherings during the week was at the home of Judge and Mrs. W. J Vesey, on New Year’s day, when the Studebaker and Vesey families gathered for a celebration. Seated at the dinner table were the Hon. and Mrs. David Studebaker, Miss Hattie Studebaker. Mr. and Mrs. John Nib lick, Mr. and Mrs D. E. Ttudabaker danson, David, Mrs. A. B. Morrison and daughter, Harriet, Mrs. Dr. Camper,Miss Josephine Niblick, Helen and Burton Niblick, all of Decatur; Mr. Ross Vaile, of Kokomo; Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Vesey, Mr. and Allen Vesey and Mr. Charles Vesey of the city. These guests with Miss Margaret. Miss Sallie and other children of Judge and Mrs. Vesey made a houseful of people. It was a merrv com pany. There was dancing and games for amusement in the afternoon and in the evening, many of the guests formed a theatre party to hear the Grau Opera company. All remained over night. Neither was this all the celebrating done by the hospitable Vesey family. On Christmas the gathering was held in Decatur, at the Studebaker home. Miss Hattie Studebaker returned home with Judge and Mrs. Vesey and on Monday afternoon Mrs. Vesey gave it small card party in honor of her sister. The rooms were beautifully trimmed with roping of evergreen, holly and rial carnations and the latter flower was given as souveniers of the afternoon. In selecting score cards and partners, the ladies were conducted to a lighted Christmas tree on which, were suspended red and green paper stockings. Prizes at pedro were won by Mrs. J. E. K. France, Mrs. Aden Vesey, and Mrs. L. C. Curdes. Miss Studebaker has gone home to remain over Sun (lay biit will return the early part of this week for a longer visit.

Tuesday’s Indianapolis Sentinel said: Lew G. Ellingham of Decatur, editor of the Decatur Democrat, and E. E. Cox of Hartford City, editor of the News and Telegram of that city, were both at the Grand last night. They rank among the most progressive and most active of the demo, cratic editors of the state and both men came down to see that the legislature got under way in the customary style. About the slickest swindle which comes the farmer’s way is the cloth deal. It is a catcher, and some of the shrewdest men get caught. It is safe to say here that when a pedler wants to sell you a five dollar blanket for one, and thirty yards of calico for a cent a yard there is a hen on, and the time is right there and then when you should whistle for Towse and make a bee line for the old shot gun and inside of three minutes either have a job for a coroner, or see a peddler flying for life in a cloud of dust up the highway. Miss Edna Ehinger and Miss Mae Rademacker, of Decatur, were the guests of honor at a sleighing party given on Monday night by a party of young people. Mrs. H. C. Kramer gave a dinner party on Sunday at six o’clock in compliment to the same visitors. Miss Vera Ehinger and Master Lawrence Ehinger were other visiting guests. Miss Ehinger and Miss Rademacker have been spending several weeks with Miss Henrietta Grimme and Miss Emma Schieman. They returned home yesterday. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. We are in reciept of a communication which says that the Cincinnati, Dayton & Fort Wayne traction line will positively be built and within a year from this spring electric cars will be running through Decatur. Through the uuiiriiig efforts of Dr. George the proj •et has been capitalized and is now backed by the enormous sum of $20,000,000, sufficient we judge to make it the greatest traction hue in the world. The company has been reincorporated under the laws of Ohio and are prepared to do business. A party of men representing the road are expected here in a few days to complete arrangements for right of ways and they deserve the help of every wide awake citizen who believes in keeping up to date. Push the enterprise along and let the world know we are on the map. The funeral of Carl Buck was held at Bluffton Sunday and was thelarg est ever held there. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Buck, former residents of Geneva. Carl was well known here and enlisted in the army from this city in June, 1901. He was assigned to the 28th infantry and was stationed at Vancouver, Wash., until last spring. He was killed near Niac, Cavite, P. I. on July 13, 1902. He and Corporal Frank Hemstead were shot from ambush. The latter escaped badly wounded and recovered. The two were on courier duty. Carl was struck by four bullets. It was a month later that his father received word of his death. He immediately asked to have the remains sent home for burial and was notified that the remains could not be sent to the Uuited States before winter. The body arrived at Bluffton last Wednesday after being brought a distance of 12,01X1 miles to be buried at the young soldier’s home. It is decreed that Charles Carpenter, an Adams county citizen at Preble, is to reap reward and riches. He is the inventor for a substitute for coal, wood or gas that is some time destined to be universally used. The new commodity of fuel as now produced will furnish heat at least twice the length of time as the sameamount of coal. It also makes a more penetrating heat than coal, makes but little ashes, but little suet, no clinkers, no odor and is thoroughly clean, will not even soil the hands in handling. It contains neither substance of oil or tar and this fact makes it both desirable and marketable. The composite parts of its makeup lies in plenty and to spare so there is not even a faint shadow of the supply ever getting within the demands labor strikes and coal famines to the contrary not withstanding. Mr. Carpenter as well as his wife have been working on this new fuel for months, and in the past few weeks have been assi-ted by a chemist of good repute. Their experiments have been complete and no suspicion of doubt rests in their minds over the success and triumphs of their discovery. During this time they labored diligently, giving it every known test, and they now pronounce it the coming fuel and the salvation of at least those who for ten years or more have become accustomed to the use of natural gas. For thirteen years Mr. Carpenter has held a very responsible position with the Indiana Pipe Line Company at a very comfortable salary. On the strength of his knowledge of the new fuel, he lias already tendered his resignation and will devote his entire time to the discovery, his ingenuity devised which ,tbay revolutionize the heating of the world. A company of Decatur business men is now being formed with a view of manufacturing and placing unon the market this new fuel of Mr. Carpenter’s invention.

The Great Northern Indiana Fair association had their first law suit, Monday, which was decided in their favor. The case was the outcome of a “high dive” attraction that should have been given at last fall’s fair, but not one of the three pei formances of the contract was given, yet through the advice of his attorney, the attraction man, “Curley Edwards,” entered suit against the association, notwithstanding the fact that they had given him at the close of the fair three dollars as a free gift after a pitiful petition on the part of “Curly,” in order that he might transport his wife from the city. At a late hour Friday night there was considerable concern created at the Saratoga billiard and pool room by a sudden and severe attack of sickness which overtook a young man named Ora Mygrants, whose parents reside on the Zanesville road about eight miles east. The young man had been in the pool room the greater part of the evening and was about to leave the place when he fell heavily to the ground and grew ghastly pale. Great drops of perspiration stood out upon the victim’s forehead and he seemed to be in desperate agony. He was picked up and 'aid in a more comfortable position and he soon began to recover from the severe attack. Huntington Herald. Rev, George Cocking, now of Waterloo, Indiana, a Methodist minister formerly in charge of the church at Bobo and well known in this county, has issued a book entitled “From the Mines to the Pulpit, or Success Hammered out of the Rock.” He is taking orders for the work at one dollar per volume and will no doubt sell many of them here where he is so well acquainted. Nine out of ten of the boys of this country, at the age of fourteen years are out of school and working. The mthor belongs to this class, and has written a brief sketch of his struggles, failures, and finally, success, for the encouragement of the teeming thousands of young people who are thrust out to fight their way through the world. The book also gives a graphic description of the great industry of mining, both in England and America, together with the many dangers incident to this hazardous calling. The description of the gold mines of Colorado, and the Rocky mauhtains, is the outcome of eight years spent in their midst. The regular meeting of the city council was held.
