Bipe Organ Dedicated. Many Decatur people attended the dedication of the new pipe organ at the St. Johns German Luthern church Sunday and report the cccassion as a most scueessful one. The big church was not large ■enough for the immense crowds which attended every service. The exercises were appropriate and were thoroughly enjoyed. Prof. M. Luecke of Cancordia College delivered the dedicatory sermon at ten o’clock Sunday morning. During the afternoon Prof. Dorne, also of Concordia preached a powerful sermon in honor of the twenty fifth aniversary of the dedication of the church, and at 7:30 in the evening Prof. Ruprecht of Chicago conducted an orgn recital of great merit. The church had been ■especially prepared for the occasion presented an inviting appearance, Among the improvements noticeable was a new beautiful brussels •carpet which was laid by Niblick & Company of this city. One of the parties which drove from Decatur last evening arrived home early this morning and report a tedious homeward trip. They were in a rig drawn by a team of old fashiond mules which became tired when they reached the bridge north -of Monmouth and refused to, budge. For two hours the driver and occupants of the rig coaxed and threatened, beat and pursadeed the mules but finally had to give up. One of the party walked to Monmouth and telephoned to this city for a team to bring the load to town.

While Night Poloeman Eisner was making his rounds in the West End he saw a man at the corner of Hower & Hower’s grocery who acted very suspicious looking first down one street and then the other. Filter's suspicious were then aroused and he hastily returned to the city for reinforcements and immediatly returned to the seem of action but when they [arrived the birds had flown. The officers began a search among the surrounding buildings and also in the neighborhood and found one of the men red handed sitting near Niblicks elevator eating peaceably and contentedely from a can of fish and a large pineapple he had in his hand. He was immediately arrested and hustled to jail where a search further revealed more canned stuff and some tobacco. The men effected the entrance into the grocery store by first pulling away the wire netting that was tacked up to protect the glass in the window and then picking up a heavy boulder and hurling it through the glass completely demolishing the windows at this place they took a number of cans of fish, veal ham also eggs tobacco and cigars but took no money. At Scheimans meat market they took several rings of bologna and some other meat undoubteddly affecting their entrance into that place by prying open the door and as at the former place they took no money. The man captured gave his name as Burns. An affidavit was filed against him in circuit court charging him with burglary. Confirmation Day.

Photographer Moser had the finest display of water color portraits in his gallery window Sat urday, ever seen m this or any other Indiana city. The line consisted of about fifteen large size portraits made from life and included a picture of President Roosevelt and other prominent men and of beautiful women. The line was made by the highest priced artists in America for the Sprague Hathaway Company of Boston, highest class dealers of water color’ I protraits in the world. Mr. Moser did not learn of the arrival of the line in time to announce the feature or many Decatur people would have taken advantage of the opportunity to see the beautiful pictures.
