OFFICE —over poatoifiee KESi t-NCE—cor Mosr.e and Ninth sts Offici Hours--# to 11 a. tu. 8 to (p. m. George L. Madly has tendered hi' resignation as the chief mogul at the Flanders laundry. He will : be suceeedt dby Ch irles Thomas, a former enpl >yee at the laundry here and who while here married the daughter of Herman Brake. Mr. Mad ly has accepted a position and will travel on the road for a well known and p ipular'wh >i *sjle ho tse. After a short vacation he will enter up in the duties of his new positi >n. ; which will take him over that territory embracing northern 1: liana and western Ohio. The position i< a good one and George will no doubt succeed beyond his own sanguine hopes, because he is built that way. One of the most enjoyable events of the season was the "at home reception given Wednesday night by Miss Gertie Rademacher in honor of visiting friends. The home was elegantly decorated with potted I plants and ferns, and the walls and chandeliers were tastefully covered with smilax and roses. Boquets I of roses were cunningly set at ; different places through the home. Miss Rademacher received her guests at the door, and presented each in turn to the out of town guests. Progressive peanuts was the feature and any one who has indulged in this perplexing game, can well imagine the merriment that followed Jesse Dailev and Miss Rose Confer proved their superior ability in the game and were given first prizes. A beautifully carved smoking set was gent s first and the best lady received a han Isome shirt waist. Boobies fell to Robert Allison and Miss Marne Voglewede. Mesdames W. H. Niblick and C. Rademacher served a two course luncheon to the guests and Mrs Niblick also served the punch. Various games and dancing entertained the assembled crowd 'till a late hour, when the reluctantly ueparted. but not before expressing their high appreciation of Miss Gertie’s entertaining ability. About seventy-five invitations were issued and few regrets were sent. The guests of h mor were Frank and Mis.' G .Tirade Ardncr of Toledo. Other out of town guests were MisEinam Schineiman and Henrietta Grim ne, of F.. t Wayne. By Novemh -r Icth or a very little later Decatur will have a’- .nt fi'tc. n b! :cks more of first o Tv led > the Isw <t dder bi on the M uroe a' d Fourth .-tre t jobs arrived in h ; •city Thursday evening on over due No. 13 about 8.45 o'clock and by 9.0-' o'clock had contracted wi*h the city council Th? general opinion prevailed that Mr. Streicher would not appear but at the “eleventh hour’’ he entered the council chamber and dispelled the pent up su-pense which was evident the entire evening. The bond of the contractor 'which was sent to Indianapolis to be signed has not yet arrived and the city authorities will meet next Monday evening to pass their approval of that document. It is evident that the Toledo contractor has secured an agreement with the brick company t< furninsh the paving blocks at once for he did not mention the time limit at all. In the event that the work is not completed by Nov. 15 the contractor will forfeit ten dollars for each and every day that work is in progress past that dale and in addition he is to pay the wages of the engineers in charge of the over work. While the council was waiting Ou the brick street contractor they transacted other business of minor importance. The purchasing committee was authorized to buy a two horse moter which is to be installed at the river pump house that stands on the bank of the St. Marys near Mersman’s brewery. A new house will also be built at this place. This station is maintained to keep a supply of soft water at the water works plant for the use of steaming purposes. The committee was also ordered to enter into a compact with Mersman so that overhead wires could be run over his ground to the pumping station.

Mr. and N. A. Loch, celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Loch were married Aug. 14 1883, ; and have always lived in this city. A magnificent dinner was served at noon Friday, covers being 1 lid for thirty invited friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Loch are among D eatur's most highly respected residents and the Democrat' wishes to congratulate them on this anniversary occasion. Mr. Clarence Spencer of Elkhart was. present at th ■ family dinner. Mr. . and Mrs. Loch were presented with several handsome pieces of China. The contract for grading the Springfield-Fort Wayne traction line was le* Thursday afternoon to Alexander Tubman of Fort Wayne. Mr. Tubman is a veteran contractor ml is jus completing a railroad at Warsaw. He will begin : work here in about two weeks. On account of the necessity of condemning some land near here, and also some property near Fort Wayne, fifteen miles of the road midway between here and Fort Wayne will be graded first and by that time the entire right of way will be clear. Seven bridges will be built and bids for this stone work will be advertised for in a few days. Mr. Tubman and his crew camp ont while at their work, and he j will erect his tent this week near rhe nine mile house. Mr t Tubman I says he will have the grading completed on January 1. and Manager Fl - Iderjhann says the rails will be here in September. Tne contract for laying the rails will be let this fall. ' Raymond O. Beard a former Adams county boy whose parents live about five miles west of Geneva was in this city Wednesday on his way home from Alaska where he has been since the year 1900. For three years he served in United States Army and from the date of his discharge up to the time of his recent departure has heen engaged in mining. Mr. Beard has holdings in the famous Chena district which has lately proved itself to be as fabulously rich in gold as was the great Klondyke years ago. All mining in this territory is done principally with the sluice box and after heavy washes the glitter of gold is almost blinding. The Adams county boy believes that his claim is equal to the adjoining ones and he will return to resume work in the early spring. He expects to visit for some time at Geneva and the balance of the winter he will be at Seattle where he can arrange for the Alaska journey. Soon after enlisting in the army, which was ■lone at Indianapolis a transfer was made and Mr. Beard found himself a First class Sargeant in the Signal Corps. Early in the season his corps is -ent to Alaska to construct a military telegraph line and they, established Ft. Gibbons as their base of supplies. The line which extends from St. Michaels Stock is 1500 miles long and has but lately been completed. It was constructed at an enormous outlay by the government and many lives were lost in pushing the work through. Mr. Beard tells of many narrow escapes and of sadder instances. A number of his comrades were caught on an ice floe on the mighty Yukon and drq—ss?!-. several were frozen to death and some were buried alive in great drifts of snow. The cold at times he asserts was awful, and to add to their hardships they were often cut off from supplies and nearly starved before help could reach them. Many of the soldiers were crip pled for life and lost a leg, or finger on account of the fierce cold. About two hundred soldiers worked on the line and Mr. Beard being a sargeant had control of a large squad. He also understands telegraphy and for that reason was a verv valuable man. He states that the line was not constructed after the best of plans as it was impossible to get the material across the almost impassible Alaskan mountains. Where it was possible the wires were fastened to the top of trees and in the mountains, flimsy pine poles were used to support the wires. In the high regions the weather never moderates and holes are bored in the perpetual frost. Where the line extends across mountains, lakes the poles are set in the ice and are as stable there as they would be on ground for the ice never gives away. Mr. Beard says that a trip in that country certainly brings one to appreciate the good old summer time.

At Logansport the the other day a man got boozv and started home on a street car. A woman . entered the car and ordered the drunk man to move over so as to give her room to sit He didn't move with as much agility as the lady desired so she re marked, I'd give you poison, that’s what I would.” ’’Well madam — hie—if you were my wife —hie —I d : take it.” Miss Ida Starr, the young lady of I Poneto, who was accidently shot iby Ira Huff, two weeks ago, died Thursday morning. During the two weeks she has suffered from severe hemorrhages. The story told of the sad affair and which is accepted as entirely correct by all who are in any way connected with the circumstances is a> follows: Miss Starr was up stairs when Huff called her to come down and prepare supper She came down stairs and went out in the yard to do some work of some kind. L iter she returned to the house and found Ira seated at a table looking at an album. As she came in he laid this down and picked upa toy pistol. Miss Starr cautioned him not to fool with it. as it might be loaded. Thinking to heed her advice he laid it back on the stand and at that instant it went off. The ball struck Miss Starr in the throat, penetrating both walls of the windpipe and entering the alimentary canal. All members of the board of commissioners were in session Thursday and t ook up the question of contracting the north and south St. Mary's township roads. Acting on the advice of the auditor that the valuation was sufficient to admit of the building of both road-, contracts were awarded to Davis Dailey on his bid submitted several days ago. This bid figured $14,980 and was considerably lower than his competitors. The board appointed Elzey Jackson to represent the township and to superintend the building of this road The contract for the board was formally awarded to* E. Woods & Co. on their bid of $14,010. Ed France was appointed to superintend the building of this road. This assures the township of both roads much sooner than they anticipated, at first being thought possible to build one road at present. It is thought that active work upon the grade of both roads will begin at an early day, and it is to be hoped the same will also be pushed to completion as rapidly as it Is possible. ...Legal AiYertWg...
