I REFERENCES THE BEST. « .111. ..=== | Al Dr. Co.enlal.'a ..111—. at H ■ Decatur, Ind.. fi.st T uesday Jjj ■ of each month. A team composed of Decatur printers went to New Haven Sunday and were defeated by a score of twenty to six. A pitcher named Brown of Hoagland was taken along and while he was in the box the game was a good one. la the fourth inning with the score four to one Brown was hit on the thumb by a pitched ball while at bat and disabled him so badly he could not finish the game. The boys say they can teat the New .Haven bunch with an even show and may arrange another date. Marshal Cordua has received word that the desperate grafter that shot policeman Fisher was at Wabash but there as elsewhere he eluded the officers and it is feared has escaped for fjood though the hunt for him will be continued and the Marshal beleives he still has a chance to get him. Fisher does not allow a small thing like a 38-calibre bullet wound to keep him shut up long and he was a; visitor atj the fair .yesterday, proped up in a buggy. He is looking a little pale but says he feels fairly good and will be on duty again in a few days. The citizens of Decatur would like to see his would be assassin taken and given his just dues which in our opinior would be a term of from two to twenty one years. Last Tuesday evening about half past 8 o’clock on the pike near Emil Burkhalter’s east of town, Menno, son Mr. and Mrs. John J. Amstutz from southeast of town miraculously escaped serious injury if not death. He was coming from town on his wheel on the wrong side of the road and riding rapidly through the darkness, while the Misses Martha and Ida Sprunger were coming in a buggy from the east. Near Barkhalter's neither party noticing the approach of the other, ran squarely into the rig, his wheel being virtually picked up by the wheels of the buggy and he in some mysterious way being mixed up with the frame work beneath the buggy and earned about three rods. The girls had difficulty in stopping their frightened horse and another wheelman coining along stopped it for them. Menno kept as quiet as a m rase in his roost under tiie g- and the girls thought he had teen killed. He and the wheel were finally extricated from the mix-up. The boy was not injured beyond a few scratches, and he only deplored the wreck of his wheel.— Berne Witness.

Mrs W. A. Lower had an experience with a burglar Eriday evening ■*i.nQ her screams aie spposed to have frightened the fellow so hadlv that he won't be able to get his, nerve up for some time. Mrs. i Lower had been away from home, returning about six o’clock. She lighted a lamp in the front part of the house and then went to the kitchen to begin supper. She tried a door into the summer kitchen expecting to hustle out and get some cooking utensels that were kept there, when to her surprise the door refused to give to any great extent. She pushed again harder than before and succeeded in getting the door open a very few inches. She glanced out and discovered a man standing there testing his strength against hers. She screamed and fled and the alarm was soon given A close watch was kept and the police summoned but a search of the house failed to bring forth the bold burglar,he evidently having slipped away in the few seconds that elapsed while the alarm was being given. So far nothing of value has been missed from the house and the fellow had probably not had time to search before he was discovered. He was seen to enter the house by neighbors who supposed lie was Mr. Lower or a visitor. He was a tall, well dressed fellow and walked into the house with the appearnce of a zuan who belonged there.

The robbery at the home of Elijah Pease Thursday afternoon who was seen by neighbors to driven]) to the house. She was traced and was able to prove her innocence. An investigation also showed that the robbery was the work of men. They secured an entrance by breaking the slats and then breaking in and raising the catch. They went out through a rear door. They did not carry away the money found in pocket books and thereby lost $lO by over looking two $5 gold pieces in Mrs. Pease's purse. She found the money yesterday. Marshal Cordua nabbed a smooth grafter at the fair grounds Friday and quietly hustled him to jail. The man is Tilden Puckett of Muncie, Indiana and his way of making a livlihood is by selling whiskey without a license. He carries half pints and ten cent packages, makes fairs and other places where crowds congregate and does a land office business. He worked here successfully until yesterday and this explains howpeople became intoxicated at the grounds. He even worked the State fair at Indinanpolis successfully. His work here was first suspicioned by special policeman Charles France on Thursday who told the marshal and they watched the fellow closely Friday, securing plenty of evidence before making the arrest. The man was brought before Mayor Coffee this morning, charged with flie illegal selling of liquor and fined twenty dollars and cost amounting to $34.70. * He is in ! jail awaiting help from his friends. The government authorities are entitled to a chance at him and may take it. if they do the result may be a term in prison. Bluffton people who have been attending the Decatur fair this week come home and say that it is the best yet. The stock exhibits and in fact every display on the grounds has been filled up with high class stuff, drawn from all surrounding counties and some from Ohio. Crowds attending have been large, as on Wednesday there -were 3,100 paid admission, 9,176 on Thursday and 5,000 yesterday. The races have mostly been good but the main feature was the extraordinary display of all sorts. One Bluffton man said this feature was equal to the state fair at Indianapolis. The success of the Adams county fair this year is but an example of what persistence and pluck will do. Last year it was a complete failure, owing to bad weather. The association lost several thousand dollars through non-attendance, but were not discouraged and went ahead on a larger scale than ever this year. President Tricker and Secretary Harris have accomplished wonders this fall and are entitled to the congritulations of the entire county. The fair closed yesterday .—Bluff ton Banner.

Frank Jackson the Ossian blackI smith formerly of this city and who disappeared from home at few days ago is back at his old stamping ground as may be seen from the following taken from the Ossian News. Roughly taken as a summary, the matter is as follows: Frank has built up a business here from almost nothing. His sturdy labor and untiring zeal has won him a large trade. But in doing this 'Frank bt " '"‘-vhat involved .Land the financial worry told upon his nervous system, amounting to what would be called nervous prostration in a man of less robust physical strength. While be was battling for health he became sleepless and under the real of fancied loss of a large sum of money, he grew ill. It occurred to him that he must have time to rest and recuperate. Any one knows that an ill man’s judgement is often at fault. The idea to go west to Council Bluffs for a week or two to relieve himself of the strain appealed to Frank forcibly as he had friends there. The thought ' that he was leaving home without announcing the fact slipped the sick man's mind. In a few days feeling better, Jackson wrote his wife, and when he learned that his creditors had became so uneasy he immediately started for homß. Some of the stories current regarding this affair are lies, gotten up by vultures out of whole cloth. The statement that Mrs. Jackson sued for divorce is entirely without foundation and a matter for serious complaint to the person who first started the tale. Frank Jackson is as honest as the day is long. He, like many another ,man is involved, but if his creditors will give him a chance he will pull through.

The citizens of Decatur will this year be permitted to enjoy a lecture course full of merit and one of the last ever given in the city As last year the course will be in charge of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church and they will begin the sale of tickets this week. Tiie best talent of the country has been chosen and if our people appr eiate a first class lecture they twill certainly take advantage of this years. The attractions for the season includes Dr. A. A. Willets, Col. L. T. Copeland, Ross Crane the Wonderfull cartoonist. The Dunbar Comp my Male Quartetate and Bell Ringers and Wallace BruceAmbrey. Each of the five entertainments will alone be worth the price of admission for all and the society should have no trouble in selling more than enough tickets to guarantee a sucessful season. Sunday at three o'clock at St. John's Lutheran church a very pretty wedding occurred, which united in holy wedlock Frederick Ferdinand Louis Mailand and Marie Helena Goethner. The wedded couple were accompanied to the church by Misses Mary Mailand and Lizzie Scheiman, and Messrs Fred Mailand and Fred Bublitz, the flower girls being Minnie and Sophia Zwick, neices of the groom. The bride was beautifully gowned in white organdie trimmed in white valentine lace ! over slip of white silk, while the i groom wore the conventional black. ! The bridesmaid wore white organdie trimmed in white valentine lace ! over blue slip. The wedding party ■ presented a very imposing appear- ' ance as they took their places at the ■ church altar. Rev. C. T. M Huege performed the ceremony, in German, and which was quite lengthy but very impressive. Perhaps two hundred freinds and acquaintances witnessed the wedding ceremony, and afterwards some sixty or seventy were given a reception at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Mailand. They have a beautiful country home, and there for the remainder of the day and evening social amusements came thick and fast. At five o'clock a wedding dinner was served, and which was a feast of everything under the sun that was good to eat. The bride and groom were the recipients of many valuable and beautiful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Mailand will become residents of this city, occupying their cozy cottage home on North Second street. Both are well known here, Mr. Mailand for several years being an employee of the tailoring depart ment at Holthouse, Schulte & Co.
