At a meeting of the city school board Wednesday evening. Miss Grace Coffee was ('host'll as a teacher in the public schopls to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Maude Forster. No other business of importance was transacted. A meeting will be held soon to assign the various teachers to their grades. Misses Mi*ie G ist and Emma Kinney gave a picnic to about fifteen of their girl friends at Steele's park Thursday and of course they had a good time. The crowd was chaperoned by Misses Agnes Belling , Bertha Kinney Genevieve Coffee and Agnes Deininger. They indulged in base ball, waded in the lagoon, climbed the highest tree ate their dinner and had a general happy day. Mrs. Malinda Fronfield has filed suit for divorce from her husband William Fronfield. The suit was filed by Attorneys Erwin & Erwin this morning and cruel and inhuman treatment are alleged. Mrs. Fronfield aks the court to restore her former name of Mrs. Zimmerman and for SI,OOO alimony, also for all other and proper relief. A similar suit was [filed by Mrs. Fronfiled last December but was dismissed within a month. The home of Miss Sarah Segur formerly of this city but now of Angola, Indiana, was robbed recently of forty-three dollars in cash. Miss Segur lives near the college buildings at Angola and keeps a number of student boarders and the money was taken from one of her roomers. The robbers entered the house through an unlocked door and ransacked every room in the house, without it being known. One of the occupants heard a slight noise and several in the house were awakened for a time but thought the alarm a mere fancy and failed to search the house. Secretary Schirmeyer of the G rman Building Loan, Fund & Savings Association, will soon issue his annual statement of said association. The report in question is one that will prove gratifying to the owners of stock, and shows the receipts during the past year to have been 766,377.55, swith cash on hands June 30 of this year of 524,948.51. It is the custom to issue a folder giving in a condensed form the business of the company and this likely will lie done in a few days. The German Building has for many years been of large business re- ; -"c 1 - to the city of Decatur. It has loaned its money safely and as a result is now sound, safe and reliable.
