THE DEMOCRAT • - —- EVERY THURSDAY HORSING BY LEW G. ELLINGHAM, PUBLISHER. •1 00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. Entered at the postoffice at Decatur. Indiana, as second-class mail matter OFFICIAL PAPER OF ADAMS COUNTY. THURSDAY, JULY 23.1903. The death of Leo XIII, is an event of world wide interest and importance, which appeals not only to the millions who belong to the great church of which he was the head, but to other millions who have been impressed by his exceptionally high gifts of mind and character, his superb statesmanship and the wonderful vitality which enabled him to exercise his powers undiminished for almost a quarter of a century beyond man’s allotted time on earth, and to exhibit at last a surprising endurance in defiance of both age and disease. If it were possible to dissociate him from his office he would still appear as a man extraordinary erudition, a finished scholar and poet, whose intellectual attainments were sufficient to distinguish him in any company or assemblage. But his pontificial career rather served to concentrate attention upon his rather practical sagacity, his devotion to his cause, and his indomitable strength of will. The story of the little negro boy who was injured at Peterson and died from the loss of blood, is a sad one. For almost two hours his life blood ebbed away in a continual stream, and when the flow was finally stopped, the supply was so near exhausted that his pulse could scarcely be noticed. With him life was in the hands of time, yet people refused assistance, some saying they did not want their buggies stained with blood. Then after he had been taken to this city no place could be found where he might receive the care which his case demanded. The county infirmary was the last resort and the patient had to stand a trip of two miles more before an operation could be performed, and at that place some time was lost in preparing for the surgeons. All these conditions contributed toward the death of the unfortunate boy. Do not these facts emphasize the necessity of a hospital in this city ? The expense incurred is insignificant when lives are at stake. There is no use reasoning with the question any further, what this city needs is a hospital well equipped and supplied with an ambulance and the people should never cease clamoring until it is secured. TkcVc use <>■:• which a pope may be elected. First, by compromise—i. e., when the cardinals appoint a committee of themselves with power to name the pope. Second, by inspiration—i. e., when a body of cardinals put themselves to shout: “The Jesuit Cardinal is Pope!" dr “The Cardinal of Wetsminister is Pope!’’ by which method other voices are attracted and the minimum majority of two thirds plus one attained. Third by adoration—i. e., when a minimum majority of two thirds plus one of cardinals go sjxmtaneously to adore a certain cardinal of their college. Fourth by scrutiny—i. e., ■when each cardinal records a vote in writing secretly. A pope is rarely found by scrutiny. Fifth ,by accession—i. e., when the scrutiny having failed to give the minimum majority of two thirds plus one to any cardinal the opponents of him whose tallv is highest shall accede to him. The first three ways are obsolete, and these two—scrutiny and accession — alone need be considered. Blank voting papers are handed to the cardinals. Each voting paper is a palm in length and half palm in breadth. Each cardinal in turn takes his folded voting papier between the thumb and index finger of his ringed right hand, holding it aloft in view of all. So, and alone, he goes to the altar, makes his genuflexion on the lowest step; on the highest step he swears his oath aloud that his vote is free. The parents and friends of Mrs. Con#Zimmerman desire to thank the many friends who so kindly assisted during her sickness and for their kindness to the family in their bereavement.

n SOLEMN CHOHUS Rome’s Seven Hills Shaken By One Vast Brazen Reverberation. , \ Tolling of the Bells of Four Hundred Churches Arouse Echoes Such As The World Has Seldom Heard. • Mourning Measures Which Will Be Repeated Nightly Until Papal Obsequies Are Over. Rome. July 22. —The quiet of last evening was broken by a chorus such as the world has seldom heard. On the stroke of eight all of Rome s four hundred churches commenced to toll bellß for the passing of the soul of Leo XIII. From the seven hills and from every quarter of the city which contained churches came the constant clang, until all was one vast reverberation. The harsh jingle of the smaller chapel bells striking quickly and oftener was not drowned by the solemn strokes that came in mourning measure from the great dome of St. Peter’s. It was as if a great lire raged and every bell in Rome were vieing with every other in anxiety to warn the populace. Except in its common motive and common sorrow it.was an amazing discord, which continued an hour and which will recur nightly until the obsequies are over. The body of I.eo XIII lies in the hall of the throne room a few steps from the room in which his death took place. The form rests in semistate. surrounded by the lighted candles, the noble guard and Franciscan penitentiaries. This morning the diplomatic body, the high dignitaries and the Roman aristocracy entered the hall to pay their tributes of respect to all that remains of the pope, who won the respect and affection of the world. This afternoon the body was arrayed in all the glory of the pontifical robes, the mitre replacing the hood and at sunset it will be taken into the chapel of the sacrament of St. Peter’s where for three days, commencing Friday, the public will be given an opportunity of paying a last farewell. The interment will occur Saturday evening. To-morrow the whole people of Rome will be allowed to view the body of the pontiff while requiem masses wi'l be celebrated in the different chapels. The impressive ceremonial of the recognition of the death of the pope occurred in the chamber in which he died. Thereafter only those were admitted who were concerned in the embalming of the body, an operation which occupied six hours. Meantime the authorities of the Vatican proceeded with the preparations for the funeral and the conclave, and the acknowledgement of the condolences which had been received. Among the latter was a notable message from the German emperor. Throughout the day yesterday the Vatican was surrounded by crowds which increased towards night. Several thousand entered St. Peter’s at vespers and joined in prayers for the departed. Among these were many Italian officers, whose troops shortly after sunset were marched from the Vatican back to their barracks. At ' no time had their services been needed. It is not the custom in Italy to L mourning, and Lc-nce the crowd, which, in consequence of the closing of many places of business, wanders the streets, ‘ has more the appearance of an aimless : holiday-making throng than one in sori row for the death of the pope. I Into nearly all the churches, how- ( ever, hundreds, not often seen in places of devotion, nocked to vespers to say a hurried praver, , Afterwards 1 they loitered outside reading the deep f black-edged proclamations of Cardinal > Respighi, the vicar of Rome, concern- , ing the funeral arrangements, the meeting of the conclave and the church ■ ceremonials. ‘ According to a statement coming • from a high ecclesiastic, arrangements at the Vatican are being pressed forward which will enable the conclave of cardinals to begin sitting Aug. 1. 1 However, it Is now thought the ses- > sions may last considerably longer i than at first expected—even long , enough to permit Cardinal Moran, of Sidney, N. S. W„ to arrive in time to take part in the proceedings. It is considered highly probable that ) the new pope will be a man at present s not thought of and not talked about 1 Postponed Until October. 1 St Louis, July 22.—The cases of i Charles A.

OBITUARY. Anna Margaret Tyndall. was I born in Crawford county, Ohio, on September 20, 1865, and died at her home three miles southeast of ! Steele, Adams county, Indiana, | July 14, 1903, aged 37 years, 9 months and 24 days. She was a. woman of bright powers and she cultivated them. She taught school for six years. She was thoroughly : good and conscientious in her work and was always in demand, i That she was successful and re- j spected as a teacher is due to many commendable traits, one of which was her habit of always aiming to be at the school room before any pupils and there bowing before her God she would ask for guidance and grace for the day, and as the pupils gathered they could not but feel that their teacher had been some how learning of the Great Teacher, and they respected her more, and no one wondered why the school ran smoothly for that day. On June 21, 1890 she was married to O. N. Tyndall. To them was born a daughter, Frances, who survives with the husband and father. She gave her heart to God in early childhood, and has been faithful to her vows, living a life of cons ?crative and true devotion to her blessed Saviour. The word of God was indeed to her a lamp unto her feet and a light upon her path way. From early life she so cultivated her character as would secure the wannest affection, the fullest confidence, and the highest esteem of friends. She would not allow herself to engage in any of the so-called harmless pleasures of the wordly minded. As you found her today, you could expect to find her tomorrow. She was greatly afflicted for over ten years. For three years she suffered pain that was indescribably agonizing. For years she had not been able to walk. Only a week ago she said to two of her brothers, “I shall soon walk in Heaven,” For her, suffering and death are swallowed np in glorious victory. She loved beautiful plants and flowers and had herself surrounded with them summer and winter. She died in great peace assuring her loved ones that all Was well with her soul, and asked them to be brave and meet her in heaven, being perfectly reconciled not fearing the change awaiting her. Carefully laid away in her books and papers were found the following lines and texts, they speak forth her purposes, character and habits more than anything that we could say. “I have joined the church for life and hope when life is done, to go and meet my Saviour in that bright and better home.” “I joined the M. E. church on Feb. 16, 1879.” “Salvation—Salvation now, sure, full and final." “Watch and pray, Matt. 26:41. Hold fast that which hast that no man take thy crown. Rev. 31 ;1.” ‘Where I am, there ye may be also. John 1 4:3.” “Set yoor affections on things above, Col. 32:” “When my final farewell to this world I have said, And gladly lie down to my rest. When softly the watches will say she is dead. And fold my pale hands over my breast. And when with my glorified vision, At last the walls of that city I see, Will any one then at the beautiful gate, -Bfi ' She leaves her bus tend and little daughter, aged six. and her father and mother, and three brothers to mourn. She is in the land of the living, we are in the land of the dying. We thank God today that her loved ones are sustained by the blessed hope that her soul has found its sure anchor in the home of the blessed. There are pain, sorrow, separation, death and graves here, but not up yonder. Above all earthly shadows the sun shines forever. High on his everlasting throne death’s conqueror reigns. The long, long night is past the morning breaks at last. We sow the golden grain today, the harvest comes tomorrow, and our loved dead in shrouds today has risen again tomorrow. We commit to the tender sympathies of the God of all comfort the bereaved family. Text First Corinthians 15th Ch., 54 v. Her funeral services were from the Salem M. E. church, conducted by her pastor, J. B. Gottschall. She was laid in the last resting place in the Tricker cemetery, by the tender hands of two of her brothers and two of her brothers-in-law. ■» J. J. Magraneand wife of Geneva arrived here yesterday and will make Decatur their future home.

Letters are at the post office for H. A. Whipps, J. Woodward, Frank W. Williams, Mrs. Rosie Wiley, James Miller, Edward Newpais, John Greet, A. E. Denars and A. M. Acher. John D. Nidlinger shipped one of his Duroc Jersey swine to Louisville, Nebraska. Mr. Nidlinger has built quite a business and his sales extend all over the United States. A dispatch from Peru says: The great Wallace shows, now in lilinois, within the last ten days have ex« perienced more strenuousness than ever before during a similar length of time. Colonel Wallace, in a letter to his wife in this city, says that not in the history of his experience as a showman has he gone through so much excitement, but, with all the trouble, the show has done a profitable business. The unusualy exciting period began at Evansvillle, when prevented from giving a night perform? ace. At Linton came the trouble about the colored employees with the show, and Friday night the aggregation had an encounter with an electric storm that came near putting it out of business. Lightning burned a house upon the circus lot and came near consuming the tents. Holes were burned in the canvas by flying sparks. Another bolt of lightning struck so near that John Parcel, boss canvasman was knocked down and was unconscious for several minutes. A man named Abrams was knocked off his horse, and one man who held a chain had one finger blown off by lightning. At Shelbyville, 111., the show was wrecked, three cars were demolished and several horses were killed. Several men were injured, but not one fatally. That night during a storm while the horses were tied to the cars, waiting to be loaded, a switch engine pushed the cars down the track an eighth of a mile and a number of the horses were hurt. Colonel Wallace writes that he never worked harder in his life than he has during the last two weeks. Nearly every night i he has been kept busy until 4 o'clock 'in the morning. The other men in Colonel Wallace s car have had to work equally as hard owing to ' shortage of help.
