Dr. and Mrs. Beardsley as host and hostess very delightfully entertained at a church reception and social at their home, corner Rugg and Win Chester street Thursday evening. The evening was spent in games and a guessing contest of Bible characters. At nine o’clock the guests repaired to the dining room which was beautifully decorated with ferns, roses and carnations and were served to a two course luncheon. After the luncheon each one was requested to draw from the fish pond a souvenir of the occasion. Every guest present enjoyed the evening and not a few have so expressed themselves, adding that Dr. and Mrs. Beardsley are certainly a success in the art of entertaining. A most fatal gift, would be the ' power of foreseeing events. This would destroy hope. A knowledge of ! the future would unmake happiness. There are, of course, some things about the future we do know.

Mrs. Maria Liehtle died at her homo four miles southwest of the city at four o’clock Thursday evening after a long illness. She was. seventy-three years old and well known in her community as well as here. Three children are the survivors, the husband having preceded her to the better land a number of years ago. No business of importance was transacted in court" Saturday, save the taking up of a few matters in probate. In the ease Abe Sprunger, estate, Simon Sprunger, administrator an order for the sale of the personal property was made and said active was ordered published an application was also filed for the sale of real estate. Warren is in the midst of a hot temperance war and the anti saloon people say that they now hold the winning hand. They claim to have enough signatures to remonstrances to put all of the saloons in the city out of business. One saloon keeper says, however, that he has had enough names stricken from the remonstrance to allow him to get license. Andy Krunnemacher says he is considering very earnestly of bringing uit against the city, and when asked the cause stated that while posting bills yesterday for a “Homespun Heart,” the wind blew one of the flaps of paper about so that it was torn in two pieces, and Andy thinks the city ought to pay him about SSOO damages. Why, he says, at one time the paper nearly struck him in the face. Fred LaDelle the magician who is a wonder in his line and whose home is in the city, left for Chicago Monday morning, where he will join Hudson’s comedy company, at Aurora, Illinois, for the balance of the season. The company is an old established one and LaDelle’s magic act will be one of the valuable features of the company. Their many friends and admirers here will wish them the best that is going in the theatrical world. The young ladies of the Friday evening pedro club were entertained Friday evening by Misses Leona and Gertrude DeVoss and the usual amount of fun was enjoyed. At cards the highest honors were won by Miss Bessie Congleton. Refreshments were served and this part of the evening’s pleasure was not the least enjoyable by a long ways. This club has a record of having had more good times daring a year or two past than anyone, having had a meeting each week. Last night was no exception to the rule and the girls all say so. Down at Huntington they run the court by Marquis of Queensbury rules rather than by long established court ethics. Wednesday while a case was in progress two of the attorneys got into an argument and in a few minutes were raining blows upon each other for dear life. After allowing them to scrap for a few minutes and seeing that honors were even, the judge called it otT and fined each of the belligerents five dollars for contempt of court. These fines were afterwards remitted and the attorneys quit the very best of friends So mony people wonder and ask themselves why it is that among so many cough sprups, Dr. Marshall’s Lung Syrup is so far superior for coughs. This is not so strange, this medicine was a lifetime study of Dr. Marshall and perfected by him while searching for his own health. The purest drugs are used in its manufacture, hence the results. The only way we can convince you of the true merit, of this medicine is for you to give it a trial, it is guaranteed to give satisfaction. Price 25, 50 and SI.OO By all druggists, About thirty boys and girls called at the home of Miss Della McGonagel on Fornax street Friday evening and surprised that little lady in a most complete manner, the occasion being her thirteenth birthday. Games of every kind and those particularly amusing to children were indulged in and we know they had a good time for their merry cheers could be heard three blocks away. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake, candy and other delicacies were served and Miss Della no doubt wishes as well as her surprisers that her birthday came more frequently. The old bus horse belonging to Murray went through a manoeuvre the other evening that certainly shows a full amount of animal cuteness and sagacity. The horse was left standing in front of the hotel when it heard a train whistle, and consequently started for the G. R. Al. depot. Arriving at the station, he backed up in the usual place, and after giving time for the loading of passengers, gently started back for the hotel. A man happened along at this time and took the horse in charge, fearing a runaway, and the opportunity was lost of determining whether or not the old hoss could yell “train east.” The annual meeting and election of the Northwestern Ohio and Indiana Grain Dealers’ association was held Thursday afternoon, and at night at the Wayne hotel, Fort Wayne, and I the business session was devoted to, the discussion of the evils under 1 which the shippers are laboring, with I a view of formulating some plan by which they may be remedied. Among those present were E. L. Carroll, J. F. Disber. J. W. Sheller of this city: C. G. Egley, Fred Neaderhouser and Amos Hirsehy, Berne, Nathan Shepherd, Geneva. Plans for the benefit of grain dealers and likewise the farmer were discussed and resolutions as to the liest manner of grading grain were adopted. A big banquet followed.

The funeral of Harry Bunner, who died Saturday morning, was held at the Rivare Methodist ekurcb at ten o’clock Monday, the Rev. Waggoner officiating. Interment was made at I the Mt. Tabor cemetery. The deceased was well known here and many Decatur people attended the services. Reb Florna Fisher, a the nine months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Fisher, (lied at nine o’clock Monday morning after an illness of four weeks with brain fever. The funeral was held Wednesday from the United Brethren church, with interment in the Maplewood cemetery. The parents are grief striken and keenly feel the sorrow that has befell them. “Where is that d—d fire shovel, Mary,” asked a Montpelier man of his wife as she entered the house after a search for the implement. “I’ll be d-d if I know, dear,” she sweetly replied, and the lesson went home with such a distinct thud that he raised his right hand on the spot and took an oath that he would never again pollute his lips with a profane word in her presence. G. C. Murphy,of Bluffton, Indiana, district agent for the George Peters Nursery Co., of Troy, Ohio, was in the city Monday on his way to Geneva. Mr. Murphy stated that his company expected an unusual heavy season this summer, and that he was busy at pre sent appointing agents. He needs six or seven men for this and. adjoining territory, and will return to this city, where he can be found at the Murray hotel in a dav or so to fill these vacancies. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Suttles informally entertained a number of their friends Friday evening. The evening was delightfully spent in various forms of amusements. An elegant two course lunch was served, the favor being carnations. Those present were Messrs, and Mesdames M. X . B. Archbold, Jeff Bryson, F. M. Schirmeyer. W. J. Myers, F. T. Dibble, L. C. Walters and W. H, Naehtrieb. J. W. Tiseron hauled a merry sleighing party to the home of Mrs. Hideman Sunday evening, who lives onehalf mile north of the Washington church. The affair was planned by Miss Maude Christen and about six teen enjoyed the evening’s merriment. Music and dancing were the principal amusements and an appetizing supper was served. The crowd returned at a late hour well pleased with the visit and overjoyed by the pleasant ride. Sunday at high noon occurred the marriage of Frank Blossom and Miss Bertha Lusk, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. J. A. Sprague of Monroe. The wedding occurred at the bride’s home south of Steele and was attended by thirty relatives and friends of the bridal couple. Immediately after their marriage the bride and groom left for Newcastle. Pennsylvania. where they will take up their residence. The marriage is the culmination of aromatic courtship, and their many friends now join in wishing them a happy married life. A horse and buggy belonging to George Heneford, the blacksmith sailed through town Friday night ata two minute gait and some people are still figuring how it comes no damage was done. Mr. and Mrs. Heneford were at the home of John D. Meyers in the north part of town and had hitched the horse to a tree near the road. The animal got loose some way and proceeded to show that he was built for a race instead of an ordinary buggy horse. He ran up Third street to Monroe and thence east across the river bridge. Not the least damage was done, the blannket being still on the horse just as George had left it. William Sehumacker, better known as “China.” evidently will be compelled to do full time at the Plainfield reformatory. J. G. Hadley, a representative of that institution, arrived in this city yesterday noon, and returned this morning with the lad in custody. “China” has been I out on probation for ever a year, I and seemed to have kept a clear ! record until the last month, when a | number of petty malefactions were I reported against him. The accusi ations need be but very few ami 1 light to eud a parole, and the sud- | denness with which he was sent away is due to rigidness of rules of the I reformatory. Between four thousand and five thousand horses in Brooklyn are beI iug fed on molasses because it is I cheaper and better than oats This interesting and surprising statement was made by Dr. George H. Berns, of th« Berns Veterinary Hospital, in Brooklyn. “We are using molasses as a food for horses very extensively,” said Dr. Berns, “not only in my own hospital but in a number of stables under my care professionally. 1 find it a most nutritious and digestible food for hard working draught horses. Horses in harness frem twelve to fourteen hours a day do not take time to masticate and properly prepare dry oats and other dry fodder, and the result is that most of it is expelled from the body without having been digested or assimilated. Therefore, they receive but little nutritive value from their food. Oats must lie converted into starch, and starch must be converted into glucose and sugar lie fore they can possibly be digested and assimilated. As our animals, by reg son of fatigue from overwork and excessive hunger, do not take time to properly masticate and salivate their food, it enters their stomachs in an indigestible condition and causes fermentation gastric disturbances and colics very frequently.

. ... An urgent invitation was received this morning by Judge Richard K. Erwin to attend the annual banquet of the Jeffersonian club at Fort Wayne on the evening of February 20. The invitation was signed by William Breen, a well known lawyer and chairman of the invitation committee, and also included a request that Judge Erwin respond to a toast, subject to be chosen by the judge himself. If business will admit of an absence therefrom he will undoubtedly accept the honor thus extended. (). B. Mohn, whose former wife was driven out of Decatur a few days ago because she ran a house of ill repute, will take legal measures to recover | from the woman the custody of j one of his three daughters. Mrs. Mohn has been leading an immoral life and associated with her are three of her children, one aged 16, the second 14 and the youngest only eight years of age. The two oldest daughters are of the age to select their own guardian but the youngest is in the legal control of her father if he can but find her. He wants to get her even if he can do nothing better than send her to a house of correction for girls where she would eventually turn out to be a good woman. It is said Mrs. Mohn returned here from Decatur and is still in the city. Bluffton News. There was not much doing in court Monday, the state case against Charles Geimer being dismissed and the rest of the morning being consumed in hearing arguments by Lawyers Lutz, Hooper and Heller of this bar, and Abe Simmons of Bluffton. The arguments were being made in the case of Stevens vs. Hardison, in which some valuable oil leases and property were in dispute. Sprang & True vs R. S. Peterson, dismissed and costs paid. State vs Ohio Oil Co, reset for trial Monday, March 30th. Stevens vs Archie P. Hardison, arguments heard, Welty vs Shafer Peterson, plaintiff ruled to reply to second, third and fourth paragraphs. Diehl vs Diehl, parties granted privilege of withdrawing papers. James P. Haefling. admr, vs City, complaint to cause city to tax $237 with five per cent interest as part of the costs of the Elm street sewer. Charles Fehrenbach. who works at the baking trade for Jacob Martin & Co., will leave by the last of next week for Baden, Germany. He goes at the summons of a letter received yesterday from Mrs. Westafeld, an aunt of Mrs. Ferenbach, who has immense sums of money and a large estate, and it may be that Charley will fall in for his share of the inheritance. At any rate he justly deserves his portion, which would be a snug sum, as there are but three heirs. Mr. Fehrenbach has not decided anything definitely concerning his business interests in this city, nor will he until he determines whether or not he will reside in the old country. The citizens of Decatur are glad to hear of this good fortune and hope that it all may materialize satisfactorily. Charley is an honorable and industrious mail and will appreciate the inheritance. Should this be the result of his visit to Germany, the probabilities are that he will remove his family there soon. The Commoner last week made a statement concerning the personal wealth of William Jennings Bryan. This peculiar statement, which covers a whole page of the paper, is made in denial of various reports as to the fortune of Mr. Bryan. It has been as sorted that he is worth $1,000,C00. The commoner says that before Mr. Bryan’s nomination in 1896 he had from 8'3,000 to $4,000 of personal property. He has built a new house which was to cost SIO,OOO, but the price paid for it was considerably in excess of this sum. There are thirtyfive acres of land near the house and this belongs to Mr. Bryan. In addi hedias property worth from $15,000 to $20,000, of which sum about $3,000 came to him by inheritance. As income from his book, “The First Battle,” he received $17,000, but a sum equal to this was given by him, the Commoner states, to various committees for expenses in the bimetallist propaganda. About $20,000 of his own money has been given by Mr. Bryan, the Commoner says, to the work of various reforms, educational, religious and political, and the Commoner has paid him about $5,000 a year, personal money, in the two years of its existence. The program for the Farmers' Institute to tie held at Berne, Monday and Tuesday. February 16 and 17, has been put into circulation, and judging from its completeness the coming sessions will be among the best yet given. Talent from outside the county will be D. B. Johnson, of Mooresville, and W. A. Hurt, of New Mmint Pleasant, and in addition discussions will bo indulged by Martin L. Smith, C. S. Mumrna, Judge R. K. Erwin, J. L. Aspy, J. F. Lehman and many other successful and practical farmers of the county. Some may question our right to enumerate Judge Erwin in this class, but we- stand by the declaration. The program is rounded out with declamations and music that will prove more than entertaining. The farmers of the county can not do a better thing than to at tend these sessions. The benefits are untold as there is no way of getting a co nprehensive knowledge of the pur suits of agriculture than by rubbing elbows and exchanging personal experiences with those similarly eu gaged. Adams county has an envious reputation abroad as possessing the best soil for farming, and the way to get the best results from your pos sessions, is by learning well the lesson of practical farming. As usual Berne will wear a social air and make you feel the warmth of welcome.
