The young tnen of the Presbyterian church ate arranging for a reception to be held at the Presbyterian parsonage at seven o,elock on the evening of March 6th and from what we can learn the affair will be a happy one. Invitations will t>e sent out Monday and bv the way they are real cute and contain just enough of the mysterious . ..■ us w int t • kii >w what is meant. But the boys won’t tell and if one wants to know he will have to attend the reception. The funeral of Jacob Mock, who died last Tuesday, was held at his home near Williams at ten o’clock Saturday morning. Deceased, who was 78 year old, bad lived on the fnrm where he died for a period of over fifty years, and the community knows that it has lost by his death an influential and valuable citizen. Among the surviving relatives there remain the following children: Mrs. F A. Bowman and Mrs Chris Rhine, of Fort Wayne, Wesley and Samuel Mock of Adams township. Allen Co.. Mrs. Ed Longhem v of Chicago, and Mrs. Williams of Kansas City. The remains were shipped to New Haven and interred at that place. Late this afternoon John Webber, the well known horse buyer, living on Pearl street, was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Keiehelderfer. on an indictment bv the grand jury. Webber is charged with grand larceny and receiving stolen goods. Bail was fixed at SSOO and was furnished by Attorney Dan Ninde. Some months ago Webber purchased a team from a man named Rader, which, it turned out, the latter had stolen from his wife. Webber was notified that the team was stolen, but when a deputy sheriff appeared with a writ of replevlin, the team was nowhere to be found, and is still missing. Rader was sent up for two to fourteen years from the DeKalb county court. From Fort Wayne Sentinel (Friday!. Mr. Webber has many relatives and friends her- who firmly believe in his innocence, and who think he is the victim of circumstances. The board of directors of the Erie railway company were in session Friday consulting with the president of the road. The same board has been awembled since Monday, and while the definite cause of the meeting is not known, it is und rstood that something important is being dealt with, and the general inference among the minor officials of the road is that the big guns are considering the Hammond yard question. That issue concerns the establishment of gigantic freight yards at the latter place, and the transferring of the immense amount of yard business that is now done in the Englewood yards to Hammond. Such a movement has been the chief issue discussed in the ex eeutive circles of the Erie for some time past, as the recent ruling of the Chicago city council demanding the elevation of the railroad tr icks means a move like this on an enormous expenditure cf money in making the required elevation. If a decision bringing this about is made at the present meeting of the board, it will mean a whole lot to Decatur. The following speculation is based on the above, and it is not a pipe dream but a logical cmsequence should the Hammond re rd s and terminus be established. Bv so doing tho present HuntingtonChicago division would be shortened twenty miles, which through the city < f Chicago means two hours of run- > ittg Now, in order to obviate this the first division terminal east of Chi r-aco v --dd Im? moved eastward and in all probability lie located in this ritv. Along with this procedure the railrend she pg would be removed to Decatur also. The advantages thus gained need not be recounted, and suffice it to say that should the Hammond affair lie so adjusted, such would inevitably happen, as it is the logical outcome. The newest skin game that is lieing worked in this community, and on which the snv th grafters are catching the fanners, is an electric.lamp fake. The scheme has been worked about the south part of the countv, near Chattanooga, and is now reported in an instance in the north. About two weeks ago a gentleman. I T.i well dressed and claiming to be the rep re - sentative of an electric concern located in Brooklyn, New York, called on a substantial farmer and informed him that he had the greatest lamp ever invented and one which would soon be in demand in every farm home in the country. He opened his case and displayed a perfect electric lamp, with storage battery attachment well hidden, and which, by turning a button, would produce a perfect and brilliant light. He explained that the invention was comparatively new. and that in order to get a start it was their practice to fit up one house in each <-ommunity at cost of delivery, which would be five dollars, though the lights sold for seventy-five dollars each. The farmer accepted the terms •nd ordered ten lights, one for each room in his house. The contract was signer! up and placed in a sealed envelope which the fanner retained. Later another agent o( the company called and delivered ten cheap oil lamps, well wrapped, and demanded payment. The envelope was secured and the farmer for the first time realized that he had been swindled, for the contract read ten lights at seven-ty-five dollars each, with seventy do! Jara off, which left a net balance due the company of nearly S7OO. The farmer refused to pay and came here to s«“k help of the officials. The grafter recognized bis position and left. A life size bull dog would be a splendid defense for the farmers in cases of this kind. Before the farmer came to town the agent offered to settle for almost any amount.

Jackson & Davis have on exhibition in their window a plow that is supposed to be the oldest in the state. It is a right-handed wooden mould breaking plow. It is made of oak and iu a good state of preservation. J hn Way, grandfather f F. M. Wav, who came here in 181?*. from North Carolina, made the plow* he I being a blacksmith. The plow is the property of Mrs Nancy Gray, who received it from her father, who was partially reared in the Way family. These kind of plows were in general : use about a century ago. but there are few of the present day who have seen | one of this kind. Winchester Journal. The last dav of the last saloon in I Berne is in sight, the same being next Saturday, and George W. Nichols, the proprietor, against whom a remonstrance bearing the signature of nearly every voter of Monroe township has been filed, has determined to give a big barbecue as the closing act of his career at Berne. Bills were posted today at Berne and in every surrounding town announcing the , fact and giving as special features an i ox roast, balloon ascension and parai chute leap by Prvf. Lanning, band i music and other attractions, and it is i expected to make the day the biggest ;in Berne’s history. In his posters George says: "Since the majority of voters of Monroe township, have ex- ’ pressed their will against saloons by ! signing remonstrances, and thus driving me out of business. I am desirous of showing all my patrons of the past, and all others who may care to join us. a good live t : me for ouce in their lives, and have therefore arranged for an old fashioned Ox Roast at mv place of business, on above date, the closing day of the saloon business in Berne." No doubt a great crowd will throng our neighboring town on that day, if for no other reason than to witness the unique celebration of a man who has been put out of business. Quite a little business was transact:ed in court Siturday. though but ' a short session was held. The docket shows it as follows:- Mathias Colchiu vs. Frank Colchin. final renort filed. ' Allowed and commissioner discharged. Sarah S. Cassell vs. Hiram W. Cassell, motion for nunc pro tunc entry, odered that record be made as indicated by judge.

Lutz, ex parte, resolutions by Bar association on death of Judge Hainee. i ordered that a page in the order book ■ be set aside and dedicated as a me- ' mortal page iu honor of Judge Jacob March Haines.

Resolutions adopted by the Adams I County Bar association on the death lof Judge Jacob March Haines, of Portland, Indiana. Whereas, We I learn with profound sorrow of the . death of Judge Jacob March Haines, jof Portland, Indiana, who for more than three score years has been an | honored member of this bar. and dur- . ing a part of that time the judge of this court; herefore, be it Resolved. That in the death of our esteemed and worthy citizen and co-worker. I that the bench and bar of Indiana has lost a worthy member and the state of Indiana a citizen whose virtues were many and worthy of emulation. the city of Portland one of her I illustrious citizens whose place on the | stage of life will be difficult to fill, his family a benefactor, his acquaiu- . lances a true and loving friend, and i the church of his choice a leader and , member whose every act was a living example to all thoee who shall come after him. Be it further Resolved, That we realize in his death the inI evitable fate of all mortality and in bis life the effect of a right use of the | means which the Great Law Maker has bestowed on his subjects for the betterment of the human race. Be it , further Resolved, That we. as a bar. ' will ever hold in fond remembrance his noble Christian character and ex ample, for no man who came in contact with him left his presence, but felt the noble life he led. Be it fur ; ther Resolved. That the liar attend the funeral of our worthy friend and brother in a Ixxly. and that a copy of these resolutions' be delivered to the family of the deceased, and that copies be delivered to the newspapers of the city of Decatur. And be it , further Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the Adams circuit court, and spread of record on a memorial page of the order book of said court, to be dedidated to the memory of our deceased brother. Judge J. M. Haines. David Studabaker, R. S. Peterson, Clark J. Lutz, committee.

A letter has been received in this city by George \V. Tester from James Klinetank, ’who is now confined at the St. Joseph bospita', Fort Wayne Klinetank. it will be remembered, was the young man who was picked up on the street here last Mondav evening while deathly sick and sent by the Eutre Nous club boys to Fort Wayne. He stated that the doctor said he was progressing as well a* 'could be expected, anil that it would be but a short time until he could leave the hospital. He thanked the boys over and over again for their kind consideration, and remarked that he would endeavor to repay them for their generosity. Mr. Klinetank is a mechanic and merited asi sistance, and the way the boys treat ' ed him was certainly a true expres- ' sion of charity.

Thursday there was filed at the au ditor’s office one of those "blanket remonstrances" which you hare heard so much about, and which have the names of 404 citizens and legal voters of Monroe township. The remonstrance specifically states their ob jections to the granting of a license to retail intoxicating liquors to George Nichols, whose license expires some time next week. The names were al! signed by Fred Rohrer, who sub scribes himself as attorney-in fact, which under the provisions of the blanket remonstrance laws gives him the right to sign the names of all voters who in writing gives him that privilege. In 1900 there were polled for the democratic and republican tickets in Monroe township 631 votes, and there were not to exceed twentyfive votes cast for the candidates on other tiekets, so the remonstrance, oroviding it contains the names of bona tide voters, has a good safe majority. William Drew and William Sprunger were in the citv todav from Geneva, on the same mission, and filed remonstrances against L. G. Botkins. Preston E. Warner and Jacob Wegmiller, who also applied or will apply for license next week. The remonstrance contains the names of 334 Wabash township citizens, and thev claim a majority sufficient to put the Geneva fellows out of business. If they do. It will leave but one saloon in Geneva, while if the Berne remonstrance is successful, it will make that place good and drv. Judge Haynes of Portland, dieu Wednesday at noon at the ripe old age of eighty-six. He was well known here by the older inhabitants of Adams countv. at one time being a law yer of prominence and judge of the common pleas court for twenty-one years. According to the Portland Commercial Review he moved to Portland December 24,1*44. At the time of his location here the population was small and the practice of law void of any great remuneration. In 1856 he was elected judge of the common pleas court, composed of the counties of Randolph and Jay. and was continually on the the bench un til October. 1877, making a term of | twenty-one years of constant serviceJ This service was extended to the | counties of Wayne, Randolph, Dela . ware. Jay. Blackford. Wells and Ad-' ams. while the judge was frequently called upon to hold court in other portions of the state. In honor of his ' memory the Adams county court has, adjourned until Saturday morning. This action having been taken immediately after court convened this i morning. The Bar Association then ' held a meeting in the court room. President R. S. Peterson presiding. The following funeral notice was read: "Jacob March Havnes. born April 12. 1817 —Died February 25, 1903. Fun-; era! at the Presbyterian church in Portland. Friday Februarv 27. 1903. at two o’icock p. m conducted bvßev. J. S. Axtell." After reading thi« notice President Peterson asked for expressions from the bar. Judge David Studabaker responded an!, said: “I have not heard of a death | for a long time that has so affected i me, though from what I have heard it. was to be expected soon. I first became acquainted with him in 184'.) when I attended the Jay county seminary Lat’er I boarded at his home at a time when I needed help in mv studies, and to he and his good wife I owe much for their kind assistance He was always kind to me in those days. I had come out of the woods, so to speak, was uncouth and needed just the training he gave me. Later I studied law in his office for a vear and he gave me many attentions and treated me then and during the years that I practiced before him in a kind and noble manner. During all these years, I have known him to be an honest, true man. He always did the right as be knew it and was a temperate man when it took bravery to do ao." In conclusion Judge Studabaker moved that a committee of three members of the bar be appointed to draft resolutions in memory of the deceased. He was visibly affected and bv word and ection showed that his feeling for his old benefactor was sincere and earnest, of the depth that only such men as Judge Studabaker can feel. The motion for committee on resolutions carried, and Judge Studabaker, R. S. Peterson and C. J. Lutz were appointed, and decided to report at three o’clock this afternoon, their resolutions being duly accepted by the bar. During the meeting this morning expressions of great respect for the deceased brother jurist were made by Judge Heller. Judge Erwin. Scha fer Peterson, A. P. Beattv. R. S. Peterson and others. Schafer Peterson is the onlv lawyer now living in Decatur who was admitted to practice before Judge Haines, during the five years he was judge in this county. A motion mude by Mr. Lutz that the bar attend in a body was carried unanimously.
