Silas Fisher was badly injured while assisting in operating a steam ■wood saw at Fred W. Fuelling’s farm in Union township Saturday and his right and will no doubt be permanently crippled. He was pulling a stick ofwood cross the saw ■when it caught in some way and threw his hand into the rapidly revolving circle saw, cutting lengthwise down through the knuckles of Iris hand. The thumb, first and index fingers were badly injured and will probably remain crippled. He was brought to this city and taken to the office J S Boyers who dressed rhe wound. His hand was certainly frightful to look at and the pain was almost unbearable though Mr. Fisher stood the necessary attention in a brave manner. An eff rt that looks just now as though it may be made to locate a canning factory in this city. Mr. J. B. Silver of Grand Rapids Michigan was in town and went over his plans very carefully with F. M Schirmeyer. secretary of the Commercial club who informs us that he thinks the institution a splendid one and well worth investigating. Mr, Silvers left at noon but will return in a few days and make vigorus effort with the assistance of the Commercial Club' if they see fit to encourage the enterprize to establish the factory. This is no ordinary canning factory which depends only on farm production of the surrounding country but the idea is to etsablish a plant for the canning of baked beans, and commodities of that sort thus allowing them to operate the year round instead of a few months as is usual with industries of this kind. Mr. Silver represents the industrial construction company of Chicago who makes various 1-: : - . • tor;- His plan is to sell i’ worth of stock to Decatur parties and put the plant in good running order ready to make m ney. The company is first class and have nstructod several c.-nceras of th;- kind which are great investments for those interest-1 ed.

Eniugh were removed from the remcnstram eto tamg the tota below a majority, and the applicants demanded that the commissicners should issue the license. as the re ■monstrance was deficient in names. The commissioners decided against the applicants, who took -be ease to the circuit court, fn deciding the case Jnd eg Plummer holds that when voters sign remonstrances, and the remonstrances are duly filed with the county auditor, the remonstrants have no pjwer to remove their name; from such remonstrance. wheh must stand for two years, the limit fixed by the law. If the blanket remonstrance is filed, therefore. Judge Plummer decides that it will be good against all applicants for the period of two years, and that the names cannot be taken from the remonstrance by the signers themselves. The decision is an important one to the temperance element in Indiana, since it guards against the sudden changes of mind ■on the part of remonstrants ,who are frequently subjected to pressure from saloon infinence at the last - moment.

■ Joseph Thomas, a former resident of thi-city and county now interested in the Decatur Egg Case Company south west timber field with headquarters at Cardwell. Missouri, has been elected to one of the highest offices of the Knihgt.- ?f Pythias of his state. At the meeting of the grand lodge at Jefferson City, Mo., he was - n as Grand Prelate of the onier. His duties are that of chapiin and the office is the thin! highest in the Ijdge, pla .ng him in direct line of promotion for Vicei Chancelor and Grand Chancelor. I The honor is one much sought after and the fact that it has fallen to Mr. Thomas speaks volumes for his high standing in the great stare of which he is now a citizen. Joe ' as he is better known, here left De--1 catur only a few yeais ago and has ‘ been remarkably successful in the ’ southwest. A telegram telling of his election was received this morning at the local office of the Egg Case C mpany. Seated at the breakfast table at his home south of town. Henry Barnett brathed his last at sven 1 xtk Saturday. He has been suffering with dropsy for three months past but during the past three weeks seemed to be some better and was able to be about the house. That morning when he arose no change was noticeable and at the table he remarked ”th> is the last br-.’.k-fast I am going to eat until I get better." His wife and daughter were preparing some toast for him and \ when they approached him a moment later were horrified to- find him dead. He was sixty-three years old and one of the be.-: kn- wn men of his neighbcrhccd having lived in this county many years. His wife and number of children survive him. they being Alice the only child still at home. Mrs. Hower who lives near. Edna Ash ban her. Marion: Mrs. Craw . Bluffton: John Barnett. Bluffton: Gidiecn Barnett. Pleasant Mills: Edward Barnett Mic-hiagn: and Lidia Nelson. Michigan. He was a brother to Mrs. Joshua Carpenter. Holden. Michigan Mrs Chronister, Mrs. Alva Herderson and John Barnett of this city His neighbor John Steele who was in town today arranging for the funeral today said: He was a good cinaen and a good soldier." and those words express much. He was a member of Company I. Indiana volunteers and had a good record. He belonged to the G. A. R Post and had taken two degrees :>f masmary. The funeral services will be held at Pleasant Mills Monday. Miss Genevieve Hale, one of Dej catur s popular and charming young society leaders wasmarried Friday evening to Rev. B. Earl Parker of Evanston. Illinois. This new-, will n: doubt c ?me as a surprise to the many friends of the now happy bride but to none mere than it as L> Ha. wU had n: inkling cf the affair until nine o'clock that morning when a telegram was received fr m Chicago which said. "We are happily married, telegraph if you can forgive us." signed Genevieve, a-idress Evanston. The answer was immediately sent and Mr. ard Mrs. Parker are we ■■'•me home was '■ •in as they eon get here. The couj left here Last evening pretoitoi Ely to attend the theatre at Fort TVavne., and :* is supprsed “i " . ..i . - i‘ . n an - arly train f :-r Chicar x They will make their home at Evanston. Elinois. where Mr. Parker is arrending the uui—reity he als.: being minister in -iharge of the First Methodist church at F<wty-Seventh street. Chicago. He is an able and btollmnt v-i-ung minister with a spendid outlook for future sux-ess as may be easily fireeen from the fact that a man of his years and sti I i in college should be in charge of such a church and at a comfortable salary. He formerly lived at Kendal rille. In-liana but has been in college for several years. He met Mess Haje at Borne City and their acquaintance s-oon ripened in to love and the wedding was planned. though it was not supposed the event would occur so soon. a« Mr. Parker expected to go to a Barton ; college next year and Miss Hale was also arranging for a course in .an easte m schicL Miss Genevieve is an accomplished young lady, beautiful and attractive, and she has been the center of society life here for a year or two past. Her ; freinds are numerous as are of the family and all join the Democrat in extending congratulations and best wishes for Rev. and Mrs. - Parker.

Much complaint is being registered about the ccnditi n es the macadam streets, and an inspeeti.n of them finds a depl rabie state of holt - gal re.

Before real wintry weather begins to assert itself, the streets should be given a round of repairs. By kindness of the author Mr. James D. Hunter, we are in possession of a book just published and which bears the title of 'John Mark or the Making of a Saint." After a brief digest we are inclined in the belief that much good thought as we?, as much interest is contained therein. It is especially well written and is couched in language that fairrly sparkles with wit and humor. The writer has a clean and ciear conception of the Bible as it was taught and practiced in the days when it counted even mor than it does today. Mr Hunter is an old resident of Adams county. hence the interest in his recent publication will be the more appre- . -i« - Thy know him. He is a brother of Mrs W. J. M yers of this city, besides he has ether relativess. His boyhood was spent near this city, he living with his parents near Monroe, and afterward progressing to! the ministery, in which he ba* been a shinning light for many years. He now lives in a suburb of Phil- lelphia. where he hasdevelop- . . tori waere John i Mark" was written. The sale of ; this literary gem should be suffic- ; lent to make both its author and publishers a rich return.
