B. W. Sho.'ty made a business trip to Geneva this morning. Again old winter begins to show signs of departure, but we have been | fooled so often this year that like the man from Misouri, he will have to I “show us.” Ed Rice, of Berne, is lying at the home of his father. Mell Rice, on 10th street, in a very serious condition. He came home a few days ago complainI ing of a bad cold, which was seemingly getting better, he however took a relapse Tuesday night and is at presI ent very sick. At the Evangelical conference which was held at Bremen last week the Rev. D. B. Koenig was ordered to , remain at Berne, the Rev. L. J. Erhardt from Linn Grove to Greenville, Ohio, and the Rev. Edw. Greiner will take the Rev. Ehrhardt’s place at Linn Grove. - Berne News. Rev. Benneville Sawyer was in the city this morning on his way to Deca- ; tur. He attended the Muncie conference but did not accept a charge , this year on account of the poor health , of his wife. He will continue to re- , side in Fort Wayne where he ' preaches in a Congregational church. —Bluffton News. i , Word has been received from Waterloo announcing the fact that i Mrs. Ezra Cutting who was stricken there Monday evening with a very severe attack of the grip and other complications was progressing nico1 ly and was thought to now be out of danger. She is visiting with her , daughter Mrs. Lyons from whom i this word was received. i The blacksmiths of Decatur will i hold a meeting same evening this i week to agree upon a scale of prices. Owing to the fact that the prices on raw material, help, rent and everything else has advanced to such"an extent that they are now compelled to do likewise. The new ! prices will be the same at all shops and will go into effect soon. W. C. Wright of Berne was taken Tuesday afternoon to Martinsville ; where he will take treatment for rheumatism. Hs was so badly afflicted teat he had to bs taken away on a cot. He was accompanied Frank Foreman, Peter Soldner, Harry Fellard and Dr. Schenk, who will also take treatment at that sanitarium.

A. Tubman informs us that work is progressing nicely on the interurban line after a long delay during the winter months and if the presen; condition of the weather keeps up it will not take long to finish the grading for the road bed. His outfit is at present located at Macnight’s run and are work ing both ways from this point. W. A. Kunkel went to Marion yesterday where he was called by a telephone message informing him of the death there this morning of Julia, the elevenyear- old daughter of his brother, Hort Kunkel. The child was sick only a week with inflammatory rheumatism. Definite funeral arrangements were not learned today but as far as is known the services will be held at Warren. Samuel Acker, who was formerly associated with the firm of Acker, Elzey & Vance in the clothing business here, yesterday purchased the interest of Samuel Teeple, the senior member of the firm of Teeple and company, gents furnishers and clothiers, ot Geneva, Indiana, and will take posession at once. Sam is thoroughly acquainted with the clothing business, having been engaged in it many years, and will no doubt, meet with splendid success at Geneva. We are unable to ascertain at this writing whether he contemplates moving to Geneva at once or not, but will no doubt in the near future at least. The Democrat joins with Sam’s numerous friends here in wishing him success in his new venture: Today is to be Osborn day at Noah Loch’s hardware store in this city and many farmers are expected to be on hand as over five hundred personal invitations have been sent out. Representatives of the company to the number of half a dozen are busy today arranging for the occasion. The Osborn company manufacture all kin ds of farming implements and are making an extraordinary effort this year to get their goods introduced in this locality. As a special inducement tomorrow they will give away to the lucky farmer two cultivatorsjand two harrows, absolutely free of charge. The men here are experts and can tell one all about the various machines and do it quickly.

Hugh Dougherty who was elected at. Muncie last Friday as one of the lay delegates to the general conference, will leave on April 25th for Los Angeles, California, to attend the big gathering of Methodists. Mrs Dougherty will accompany him and his daughter, Miss Elizabeth, will probably go also. They will spend the month of Muy in California. The appointment of delegate to the general conference is a high honor but the delegate must pay all the expenses of the trip from his own pocket.—Bluffton News . The fifty second annual session of the Indiana Evangelical association conference at Bremen closed with the following appointments of presiding elders: Elkhart District— The Rev. C. F. Hansing; Fort Wayne district, the Rev. S. H. Baumgardner; Indianapolis district the Rev. D. S. Hagoe. Fort Wayne District appointments—S. H. Baumgartner, presiding elder Fort Wayne, D. E.

A horse hitched to a buggy and owned by Samuel Bailer furnished a little excitment Tues, evening by running away. Mr. Bailer came to town late yesterday afternoon especially to see his father who lives in the west part of the city and hitch ed his horse in front of the house thinking it would stand unmolested until he came out but a train passing near by frightened it and it broke loose and proceeded to show its speed along the public highway and a man in attempting to stop it near Dr. Millers residence made it run into the fence where the buggy caught and was kicked to pieces by the horse in attempting to free itself which it finally did and again started to run but was this time caught by Dyke Frisinger in front of Fristoe’s Smoke House. The horse was badly cut about the legs and the buggy completly demolished. Mr. Bailer’s loss will reach fifty dollars.

The business room that will be occupied by William Fronefield on Tuesday received a nice neat coat of paper which adds to the appearance. : Mr. Fronefield expect to call this. place, The Old Home Meat Market. Miss Garnet Parks, of Magley, entertained a number of her friends las Sunday afternoon in honor of Miss Flossie Smith. The afternoon -was spent in singing and speaking. At 6 o’clock an elegant dinner was served. The following guests were present: Misses Myrtle Smith, Jennie Parks, Lucy Kruetzmann, Hannah Fruecht, Adeha Fruechte, Clara Schneidere Ella Schneider, Emma Hilgemann, Emma Schneider. They all report a good time. The engagement of Miss Grace Sutton of Fort Wayne to Mr. Pennypacker of Buffalo, New York has been announced and it is said the happy event will occur some time | in June. Miss Sutton formerly lived here and is a sister of Attorney Jesse Sutton. Her parents j now reside at. Geneva. Mr. Penny- | packker is a wealthy lumber mer-1 chant and is a nephew of Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylvania. He first met Miss Sutton while tran’ i sacting business with the Decatur Egg Case company in whose office, she has been employed for several years. The remains of Miss Irene Bell arrived early yesterday from Denver, accompanied by the mother, and brother, Charles K. Bell, who met them in Chicago. The funeral services will be held from the Methodist church at two o’clock Friday aftenroon, Rev. J. C. White officiating. Irene died at ten o'clock Sunday night her condition having i assumed a serious turn at threel o’clock the same afternoon. On the Sunday, just a week previous Irene i first complained of a severe pain in | her side, indicating a pneumonic! condition, so common in Colorado, I at this season of the year, and her I weakened system could not withstand the disease. She was oared' for tenderly by mother and other j faithful friends, and passed quietly I into the long sleep. She was conscious almost to the last moment and sent happy messages to .her many loving friends at home.

The Young Matrons’ club, which ■ was to have met with Mrs. John Tyndall Friday of this week has [been until two weeks ' later. Gus Rosenthal has his show win- ! dow decorated with the new base ball uniforms, and they are attracting a great deal of attention. When the team trots out on the field this season a better uniformed set will not b ' seen in the ntate of Indiana, and coming close to the national leaguers. Mr. Rosenthal may justly feel proud of the team that bears his name. The Indiana State Association of Spiritualists of the State, has filed articles of incorporation with thesecretary of state. The association proposes to organize Spiritualists into societies to educate the people in the science, philosophy and religion of Spiritualism. Subordinate societies will be organized in the various congressional districts of the state. The principal office of the association will be at Anderson. The officers are: President, E. A. Schram ; vice presidents, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Williamson and Charles A. Gains; secretary, Mrs. Carrie H. Mong; treasurer, Mrs. Louise Schwennesen; trustees, J. L. Foster, Mrs. Marguerite L. Miller, John H. York and W. S. Woods. The Country Folks social union gave another of their social sessions Tues, evening in the shape of a big dance and from an onlookers view of the same every one enjoyed themselves. Fifty couple accepted their invitation to attend and the only feature to mar the whole evening was the lack of floor space The dance was held in the old C. M. S. Y. Club Rooms which was beautifully decorated for this occassion in the clubs colors, giving the same a pleasing effect. At exactly nine o’clock the grand march was started and carried through by Miss Tena Sohurger and Andrew Schurger and from then on until a late hour the floor was a whirling mass of humanity. The music was furnished by Will Smiths rag time orchestra and they were time and time applauded for their good work. This club certainly has a good time upon these occasions and can royally entertain a stranger who might happen into their midst.
