Joe Metzger who is well known here formerly being a teamster but now engaged in the ditch digging business received a letter yesterday atfernoon from lawyer in Germany stating that a rich uncle of his had died and left him an interest in his estate which would amount to something like $4,500 and for Mr. Metzger to immediately make out the proper papers of identificaton and forward them to Germany at once and his share would be at once returned to him. The news Was somewhat of a surprise to Joe, who in fact was never expecting anything from this source but never the less he appreciates the same. Joe has always been a hard working man and this money will come in nicely now in making his old days easy. He is to be Congratulated on his good luck. This office is in receipt of an invitation from the city of Tacoma, Washington to participate in the celebration of the 128th anniversary of the birth of the United States of America the third, fourth and fifth days of July. Mr. Clinton Peyre Ferry, well known here is a member of the committee an invitation included in the envelope was also another invitation or rather a command which read as follows: “It is the will and pleasure of her majesty, Pauline the fisrt, queen of the Rose Carnival that you repair to her court at Tacoma, Washington, Tuesday, the fifth day of July, 1904 to participate in the festivities of her caronation answer to C. P. Ferry, 726 Pacific avenue.” The events of the three days mentioned will no doubt be of great merit and well worth seeing and we certainly regret our unability to obey the orders of the Queen. J. E. Moser, Decatur's photographer has sold an interest in his beautiful ground floor studio to Mr. F. B. Bradley of Monroeville. The consideration was a very neat sum, as the business and reputation of the studio deserved it. It is the purpose of the new combination to establish branch galleries in all adjoining towns and thus supply a demand for first class work. They will also establish a large copy house and do a whole sale business for the trade and thus give employment to several people. An experiened salesman will be put on the road and they will prepare to do all kind of business in their line. Mr. Bradley has a wide experience as an artist having worked in all the leading city studios, while Mr. Moser has long ago established the fact that he has ability to burn, with his fourteen years experience makes him hard to catch Nothing but success can result from the efforts of such an enterprising firm. Becoming indignant, mad and thoroughy insulted because Murray’s bar tender refused to give him a drink of whiskey when he was already intoxicated Herb DeBrunn a well known young man picked up a salt holder and hurled it at the bar tender, his aim however was bad and he missed his mark, hitting the large plate glass mirror in the rear, breaking it into small peices. A number of loungers about the saloon grabbed LeBrun and held him until Marshall Cordua and Sheriff Butler arrived and he was hustled off to jail giving both officers about all they could handle and putting up a very stubborn fight, after arriving at the jail refusing to be locked up. He however submitted to being imprisoned after being encouraged by the officers and was given free use of the jail in which to sober off in. He was brought up before Mayor Coffee this morning to answer to the charge of public intoxication and plead guitly getting the usual dose nine thirty. He staid the docket and promised to be good.

The remains of Mary Messiner daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hanert of Monroe arrived Tuesday evening from Richmond where she died. The funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at ten o’clock at the Zion church at Honduras and interment will be made in Zion cemetery. A long cortege followed the remains of Rev. Peter Vitz from the Albert Vitz residence, in Union township, to the Reformed church in this city this afternoon. Many people were in waiting at the church to pay a last tribute to the memory of the good old father in Israel, who had so often during his life officiated at similar services and said words of comfort to the sorrowing. Rev. Pretzer conduct ecl the service in away most appropriate for the laying away of a minister of the gospel. The fact that several ministers were present who were sons of the one whose form lay in the casket, added to the impressiveness of the occasion. At the conoulsion of the service the remains were taken to the Reformed cemetery for interment. —Huntington Herald. In the ease of the state of Indiana against Dow Jacobs that was filed before Squire Smith for allowing a female dog to run at large, which was to have been tried last evening was continued until Friday evening at five o’clock, owing to a change of venue being taken from Smith to Mayor Coffee. The case is an interesting one and a number of witnesses will be used and a hard fight made by attorneys on both sides. A small wreck occurred early yesterday on the Erie railroad near the target two cars being disabled and were left here for the wreck team to clear up. A through freight had been ordered to meet train number twenty two here and was running onto the side track and had just cleared from the main track when the trucks under two heavily loaded oars gave way causing them to be thrown from the track. The wreck caused a small delay until the trains could make up again so as to pass. The wreck train arrived this afternoon and cleared up the debris and right of way so the line would be open for traffic.

Miss V. K. Patterson of Kokomo is in the city arranging for a I business man s carnival entertainment to be given at the opera house probably on the evenings of July 15th and 16th, although the dates have not been definitely decided upon. The Carnival is a new form of entertainment, amusinhg, delightful and novel and will be given under the auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church. About one hundred people will take part in the entertainment and nearly every business house in the city will be represented in the performance. A canvass of the city today resulted very satisfactory and assured the carnival. For his July weather predictions, Rev. Hick says: This month begins in the last stage of a period central on June 29. Storms and perturbations of this'period will be well on their way toward the Atlantic by the Ist and 2nd with fair and cooler weather foil i wing from the west. A reactionary storm period is central from the 4th to the 6th and we may reasonably calculate on a decided rise in temper ature ending in thunder and rain storm during these reactionary days. If the general tendency is to excessive heat and light rains from the 4th to the sh, and from 6th to the 9th, to the 14th it will be safe to count on a predominance of such weather nearly or quite up to September. About the 11th to 14th tho central dates of the second July storm period, no one should be surprised by a wave of excessive warm weather culminating in many threatening storms and violent dangerous blustering. The 12th, 13th and 14th are the days on which the culminating crisis of this period is to be looked for. On and touching the 17th, 18th and 19th, the temperature will greatly increase and many theatening storm clouds with thunder and bluster will take up their march eastward across the country. More threatening, summer clouds with thunder, some rain and severe bluster, will break out along the paths of actual areas on the 21st to the 24th. On and touching the 27th to 29th storm conditions will return with violent storms and rains, the weather turning warmer as the month passes into August.

ACCEPT INVITATION The following letter is self explanatory and shows that the 3rd Kentucky appreciate the invitation to attend the 10th reunion to be held here August 11th. Hopkinsville, June 24th, 1904 Mr. Fred Vaughn, .Decatur, Ind. Dear Comrade:—l noticed in the issue of the New Era of the 23rd of this month an article signed by you in regard to a reunion of the 3rd Ky., and the 160th Ind, I heartilya prove of the move and am coming over if I can possibly get away; I always entertain a warm feeling for all members of the 160th. and am confident if any member of the 3rd Ky should attend your reunion they meet with a Cordial welcome. I have seen several of your regiment since we were mustered out and it does me good to give one of them the glad hand, some of the boys in this city are talking of organizing a post at this place, have not done much as yet.

Mr. Quinn had just arrived that day from the south, slightly ill and was resting on a couch in tho cottage when he heard Robert screaming. Rushing out he beheld his little son struggling in tho lake. French immediately leaped in and caught the boy as he was sinking the third time. To make matters more serious Mr. Quinns trousers caught on a stake and he extricated himself with difficulty. Robert with several other children had been fishing off a landing and slipped off into ten or twelve'fcet. When rescued he was unhurt and said “I held my mouth shut anyway..”

One of Adams county’s old teachers Alice Clem-Nungestor, who taught the fifth and sixth grades in the Monroeville school last, has resigned the position for the coming year and will teach the seventh grade in the Angola high school. An ideal day for the picnic said everyone interested and so it proved. A big crowd are attending annual picnic of the St. Joseph schools the event being held at Forbing’s grove south of town. All day cabs, carriages and hacks have been going to and from the grounds and a happy throng of children and tho big brothers, sisters, mammas and papas have enjoyed the festivities, games and the big dinner in the grove. The day was one of the most delightfully spent of any in the schools history and a fitting celebration of the closing of a successful year of study. WtiAT IS CATARRH ? Hyomei Only Guaranteed Cure for This Common and Disagreeable Disease. Hyoniei cures catarrh by iha simple method of breathing it into the air passages and lungs. It kills the germs of catarrhal poison, heals and soothes the irritated mucous membrane and effectually d rives this disease from the system. If you have any of the following symptoms, catarrhal germs are at work somewhere in the mucocs membrane of the throat, bronchial tubes or tissues of the lungs. offensive breath huskiness of voice dryness of the nose discharge from nose pain acros/thu eyes stoppage of the nose pain in back of the at night head aching of the body pain in front of the droppings in throat head mouth open while tendency to take cold sleeping burning pain in the tickling back of the throat palate hawkiug to clear the formation of crusts in throat the nose pain in the chest dryness of the throat a cough in the morning St itch in the side loss of strength losing of flesh spasms of coughing variable appetite cough short and hacklow spirited at times ing . raising of frothy mu- cough worse nights cous mornings expectorating yellow loss in vital force matter a feeling of tightness difficulty in breathing across the upper frequent sneezing part of the chest Hyomei will destroy activity of all catarrhal germs in the respiratory organs and in a few weeks the cure will be complete. This is a strong statement, but the Holthouse Drug Co. emphasizes it by agreeing to refund your money if Hyomei does not cure.
