Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Smith, Mis s | Midge Smith and Miss Fanny Hite returned from Rome City yesterday where they have been for the past week. Unclaimed letters are at the postoffice for Charley Miller, Arthur Stewart, Anna Staver, Miss May Burell , Miss Mary Baker, Preman Evans, Mabel Dull, Mrs. Maggie Leston, Georgia, Coagen and Wit. ton A. Johnston. The county physicians have falen in line and will follow their Decatur brethren.--1A 1 doctors throughout the county are arranging to organize on much the same scale as did the city physicians. As far as known the majority is in favor of this movement. Kingmore got .second money in the 216: pace at Cleveland yesterday, wining the first heat in 2:12 1-1. Ebony King, a half brother, won the next two heats and the race. The purse was SIOOO and Robert D. the favorite, failed to finish in the money. There were three starters in the race and Kingmore cet-tainly made a great showing. All cabooses on the-G. R. & I. R. R are to be provided with new signa! lights and within a month or so the new system will be in use. The rear end lights will show red from the rear and green toward the engine whenon the main track but when on the side track the lights will be in a reverse position. The advantages of such an arrangement can readily be seen. The board of Directors of the Great Northean Indiana Fair Association met in this city today. The convention was well attended and nearly every township in the county wt s r 'presented. The business was important and complete preparations were made for a thorough advertising and work on distributing circulars and posting bills will soon be begun. The county commissioners of Van Wert, county, Ohio, were here | yesterday in session wi'u AAt viewers and surveyor McKean on the L. V. Sheets ditch, and before they adjuorned their final report upon the same was filed with the auditor. This ’ improvement is quite an extensive one an is of mutual benefit to residents on both sides of the line.. The incorporati on papers of the Crocker Oil company were filed at company is composed of three members, George M. Crocker and Charles E. Glass of Detroit and L. W. Holt of Geneva. They are capitilized at $50,000, and the three owners are the officers and directors of the company who will do a general oil business in the Geneva fields. A heavy bolt of lightning struck the large pine tree which stands in front of the house in Bellview farm during Tuesday evg. rain storm. The old tree was badly shattered and the shock was sufficient to let those know who stood in the barn and at the house, that the lightning struck close by. The tree which was struck is very high and for a good many years has stood as one of the most conspicuous landmarks along the highway. A new culinary delicacy i about to be introduced to the gourmands of this country. A large consignment of kangaroo tails have been

received from Australia where ’Whe caudal appendage of the most remarkable Antipodean jumper is held in high esteem as an article ot diet. It makes excellent soup, scarcely inferior to turtle, and in every way superior to the popular and palatable ox-tail. It is almost equal to rabbit wing stew.

Gus Rosenthal has at last joined the list of invalids. Gus has been under the weather for some time, but expects to U' out tomorrow. As announced in Tuesday’s Democrat, the 'marriage of Miss Harriet Burns and Louis Voglewede occurred last evening at the Catholic parsonage. A wedding supper was served at the brides home and at 9:19 Mr. and Mrs. Voglewede left for St. Louis. Over a hundred of their friends were at the depot last evening to bid them Godspeed. The approach of the train was a signal for a rice bombard, and the couple was forced to pass the gauntlet on their way from the cab to the depot. Incoming traveling men thought they had struck a hail storm. The newly wedded pair were given a merry send off by the large crowd who only regretted their early departure. Mr. and Mrs. VogleI wede will spend some time in St. ■ Louis and the west, and will then ■ locate in B ‘lmont, Kansas. ■ They cut pa’s trousers down for I me; I don't get nothing new; l| have to wear his old coats out, his old suspenders too! His hats and , shoes don’t fit me, but s’pose . they will some day. And then they'll come to me instead of bein’ thrown i, away! My sister Grace is twenty ■ ( two and she can sing and play And ■, what she wears is always new—not ( stuff that’s thrown away! She ( puts on style, I tell you what! , She dresses out of sight! She’s got a beau most every night. I , never get new things to wear; s •I’m just a boy you see. And any j old thing's good enough To , doctor up for me! Most every- , thing that I’ve got on One day be- • longed to pa—When sister's through with her fine things She hands 'em up to ma! f At last night's meeting of the > city council, the bid of Krick. c Tyndall & Company for the maca- t damizing of south Tenth street was j accepted and a contract has been £ entered into by the city ( council with that party for the [ construction of the same. The streets that are to be “stoned” take the following route: South on | j Tenth street from Adams street to I j Elm street thence east on Elm street| f to Line street. That part of Line ] street between Adams street and ( Niblick street, thence on Niblick $ street to Winchester street and j there to terminate. Their bid was i SI.OB per lineal foot and was the t only one offered. No contract was t made with the lowest bidder on the ; alley sewers. A. P. Beatty recently < elected city attorney filed his bond • which was accepted. It was moved , that an overseer be elected to see ; that the stone streets were con- < structed according to plans and ( specifications and A. J. Teeple was ( unanimously appointed. Two bills were allowed one of $66.48 to ] General Electric Company, and S2O < Ito Shaffer Peterson. i The Wallace Show whicn i» booked to exhibit one day only in 1 Decatur, Saturday August 1, has 1 made unusual efforts to entertain 1 the little folks as well as the adults with wholesome and profitable : amusement . The date of a visit by the Great Wallace Show becomes 1 a veritable “children s day. It is a fact that Mr. Wallace has made greater efforts and gone to little folks than any other manage--. Older people can always find entertainment but it is the little folks that are neglected by many. Mr. Wallace has provided a “children's department” in his big menagerie. ' Almost one half of the space in the animal tent is filled with objects of special interest to the little people. The entire center is filled with 128 of the finest Shetland ponies ever seen in one collection. They are all sizes and colors. These ponies are usedin the magnificent parade to pull the little cages of the miniature menagerie. Almost one side of the big menagerie tent is filled with little cute and costly cages made in imitation of the larger dens. These small cages are inhabited by small aniamls, such as monkeys, etc. In the circus proper, there are twenty five clowns who are employed for the sole purpose of entertaining the children. In addition to these attractions must be added the several acts of trained animals, the most notable of which.are the traine seals, the trained bull and the . bicycle riding elephant. The child ' who is so unfortunate to be depnv«l I of enjoying such amusement * 1 losing much in an educational : a y Wallace’s Circus “children s day” will be Saturday, August Ist.

OBITUARY. Ellen Archbold nee Mallonee was born in Morgan county,’ Ohio, September 18, 1843, and died in Decatur, Indiana, July 26,1903, aged 59 years, 10 months, and 8 days. She with her parents came to Adams county, at the age of five years, and settled in Root township near Mt. Pleasant church, where she grew up to womanhood. She was united in holy wedlock with Jonathan Archbold December 19, 1860, who departed this life Feb. 28, 1888. This union was blessed with ten children, seven of whom survive. Charles Archbold of Philadelphia, Mrs. Wash Gilpen, Mrs. J. M. Miller, Mrs. Jane Butler, Mrs. Homer Lower of Decatur, Allen Archbold of Marion, and Henry Archbold of Butler, Penn. In girlhood she united with the Mt. Pleasant class, while they were yetworshipping in the Mallonee log school house. During her entire life she has been a firm believer in I the Holy Scriptures, always active ' in the discharge of duties toward her family and church. In the last days of her illness, when physicial strength was giving way her spiritual strength waxed stronger. Friends and relatives did everything possible to prolong her life but no earthly remedy could cure her sickness. She realized this and often spoke feelingly of the coming change, and anticipated the life beyond with great peace and joy. I Some weeks since when her pastor visited her, she selected the following I scripture for her funeral text, I Romans, 8 chapter, 37, 38 and 39 ’ verses, “Nay, in all these things we I are more than conquerors, through j him that loved us. For 1 am j persuaded, that neither death, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor heighth. nor depth nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Funeral services were held at Mt. Pleasant church July 28, 1903, conducted by Rev. McCarty. Death having invaded our circle and taken from us our beloved president, Mrs. Florilia Burch Segur, we the members of the Decatur Indiana Auxiliary of the Christian Woman’s board of Mis- | sions hereby express our great sorrow at this sad bereavement. She was one of the few remaining charter members of the Decatur Christian church, a devoted member of the C. W. B. M. and an exemplary Christian. Her last words and work on earth were plans for the next auxiliary meeting. Hers is the first death we have to record since our organization, and of all our membership we feel that no other would be so greatly missed. Young and strong and energetic her death comes to us as a great shock. Always faithful to duty as she saw it, her place will be hard to V«’< •«>»?«t’ve member of the Aid Society of the church, and also belonged to the Ladies' Historical Reading Club of Decatur in which circle she was highly esteemed for her sterling qualities. Forilla Burch was born in Metz, Steuben county. Indiana, forty-six years ago and entered into the higher life on July 17, 1903. She leaves besides her husband, a son and three young daughters all of whom sadly needed mother’s care and training. In memory of our dear sister therefore be it Resolved: That in the death of sister Segur, our C. W. B. M. has lost one of its most faithful members, whose Christian influence will live on forever. Resolved: That we express our great appreciation of her faithful efforts in serving her Master, Christ. Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Missionary Tidings, to the city papers and the family of the deceased. Marie L. Holloway, Florence Buhler, Sadie Gillig, Committee. A petition has been filed before the board of commissioners of Jaycounty asking that an election be called and that the resident voters of Wayne township, in which Portland is located vote a subsidy of $54,500. This sum of money is to be used in the construction of what is to be known as the Cincinnati, Bluffton & Chicago steam railroad la project that is now down on I paper. Like aid has already been given by Bluffton and Pennville, and should up without any unnatural strains, Union City will be tackled as a repeater.

The new homes of H. R. Moltz, Eli Meyer and D, N. Erwin are nrogressrate, they being now ready for the plasterers, who will make short work of their part of the contract. As has previously been stated these new homes are cut from very modern pattern and will be handsome additions to a handsome city. Every town and city lias its swell head young men and women who get the notion that their home town is too small for them. They make spectacles of themselves every day in the hearing of sensible people by betraying their home town as a “punk” place and everything done or said as “countryed’ and “too rank for any use.” This is not |so much the fault of such ' youngsters as it is their misfortune. : And it [is both laughable and piti- ! able to hear them. They seem to forget that their parents have social and business facdities the equal of ' any respectable place, that caste and swelldoms are phantoms absolutely worthless in life's trials that happy childhood home and early life > friendships are the dearest of life s J memories, and that conceit and i vanity are despised everywhere, i They' will learn all of this to their > sorrow later in life but in the i meantime their noisy egotism must ) be endured.
