A real live Sharker who was circulating in our midst last week claiming to be an expriest, gave a little comedy at the M. E church Ta isdiy evening. At the dose of the services he announced that he would give a lecture to lidies only Wednesday afternoon for the paltry sum of ten cents and to men only at the hall in the evening for fifteen cents and as usual quite a number paid the price to hear him tell of his experience while in the priesthood. When will the people cease to be duped by the oily tongue of deception. WHY THE BOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. PUSH IT. , The Holthouse Drug Co. Recon'.mer.d and Push Mi-o-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy. “It’s a pleasure to sell a medicine when our customers come in after- • wards and tell how much good it has done them,” said The Holthouse Drug Co. the popular druggists, to a Democrat man. ‘'and that is why we like to sell and recommend Mi-o-na, the dyspedsia remedy. “We have so much faith in this article that we are going th guarantee it in the future, and will return the money to any purchaser of Mi-o-na whom it does not cure. That may seem rash, but our customers have said so many good words in its favor that we do not expect to have many packages returned. "Anyone who has dyspepsia, whsse food does not digest well, who has to t*be thought as to what he can eat, and when, can leave 50 cents deposit at our store and take home a box of Mi-o-na, and if the remedy does not aegulate his digestion and cure his dyspepsia, he can withdraw his money on return of the empty box. This shows great faith in the merit of Mi-o na. It is really a most un ; usual medicine and the rapid increase an sales since The Holthouse Drug Co. introduced it in Decatur shows that it does all thatjit does all that it claims to do, cures dyspepsia, regu i Jates digestion and enables those who .se it to eat just what thevjwaut with no fear os trouble. Remember the bargains at the, five and ten cent store. 134d30 I

Additional Locals. The big meat strike is affecting ; a number of our local meat men i who had placed orders with this . company for hams and other canned i goods to be shipped here this week, i Tib-/ <ni 2 .-ejtyi d a Vv.y iii.it letter from Mr. Armour stating that it would be impossible for him at present to fulfill any orders whatever owing to his plant being closed down on account of the strike and it would be impossible for him to state when the ban would be lifted. This strike has put the meat men not only here but in surrounding cities in the nine hole as they are now unable to get this kind of meat any where. They ‘ are all praying that the strise may be satisfactorily settled in a few days and their orders filled. • (> .via? to a misunderstanding in ; dates the Rosenthals will play in I Decatur on next Sun’day and their I opponents will be the ’strong agigregation fiom Winchester whose j record this season is as clean as the Rosenthals, having defeated such I strong semi-professional teams as i Muncie, Anderson, Elwood and i Dunkrick. The game should prove Ito be a record breaker and one to a finish and a fast exhibition of the National game should be interested. The Muncie Star has the following notice in its columns to day. The strong Winchester team will play the Decatur Rosenthals I next Sunday. These are two of the i strongest teams in the state and a I close game is expected. Winchester will take several hundred rooters and local fans to Decatur with the team. Come out and enjoy an afternoon of sport. State Factory Inspector D. H. McAbee is waging a war against owners of opera houses who have failed to provide additional exits and other safe guards since the warning was sent out soon after the Iroquois fire in Chicago last December. His inspection of the opera houses of the state is finished and his orders for alterations and improvements have been given. He is now awaiting developments. If owners refuse to follow his instructions there may be some play houses closed at the beginning of the season in the fall. ‘‘The theaters of Indiana will be safer next season than they have ever been before,’’ declared Mr. McAbee Saturday. “A number of them taking warning from the Chicago theater horror, are making improvement this summer.” The Basse opera house in this city is not affected by the careful scrutiny of the state inspector, because it measures up to the requirements in this partic ular. There are three exits from the main fl x»r besides those from the stige. There is no danger in the Bosse house, no matter how large a crowd may be there and those who yet have visions of the Iriquois fire, need have no fears for any outburst in the Decatur theatre. Hartford City has the right idea of serving the Lord this hot weather. La«t Sunday Rev. J. W. Cain pastor of the Grace M. E. church, appeared in the puplit with a negI ligee shirt and a light coat. Even the light coat he wore was uncomfortable and he asked the women present for an expression as to the propriety of the men appearing in their shirt sleeves. The idea was taken as a happy thought and there was no time lost in shedding coats. The men in the choir Sunday evening were in their shirt sleeves and sang with more feeling and energy than they had with their coats on. Now this seems more like business. The idea of men having to meekly submit to the outlandish and barbarous methods of the high colar, stiff bosom shirts and Prince Albert in order to register their good will for the church. It affects us greatly to see so many of our friends punished in this way every Sunday and we make this appeal in their behalf. The pastorate of the city should get together on this subject. Properly advertised every church will be crowded to the door, no matter what kind of hot stuff the weather man may conclude to hand out, provided the coatless man will find a welcome. It occurs to us that great interest could be maintained if such hot weather does make one feel like loosing their Christianity. It is worth the trial and the ministers of the city will be direlict in their duty, if they fail to catch the prevailing fashion. Clothes do not make the man any way but—they tdo jnake tnem d-n hot. Give us a chance to breathe i while we worship.

Quite a party of statesman and politicians interested in the success and welfare of the prohibition party were here vesterdnv between trains enroute from Bluffton to Ft. Wayne. They held the boards at Bluffton last ni-xht and played to a crowded house. They are entertainers out of sight and can make a speech that would make your grandmother turn over. The party consists of Felix T. McWhirter their i candidate for governor, Charles E. Newlin, E. G. Shouse M. E. Race and Frank Wallen. Mr. Newlin will be remembered by many of our people, he having lectured at the court room last winter on the evils of strong drink, and the way he portrayed in water colors, was a caution. The party this morning was full of life an I h ive away of : making a fell” v believe that they actually think the prohibs are on i the map and we guess they are. They are a jolly set and have a go al time spending the campaign boodle at their command. From I Fort Wayne they go to Angola and ! then to Portland. After the session ! with Mr. Newin last winter Decaj tur has been so everlastingly good i that a repßiton of th i dasi will mt Jbe needed for some time yet. We hope though, that they will not forget us before the campaign is over. The C. B. & C. railroad is in hard lines as a special from Portland says that upon application of Fred Bimel, a receiver was appointed for the Cincinnati, Bluffton & Chicago railroad. William S. Fleming was appointed receiver for the railroad company and James O. Pieice for all Indiana property of the BraceyHoward Construction company of Chicago which built the road. The road has just recently been completed between Bluffton and Portland, a distance of twenty seven miles. Bimel who applied for the receivership is a heavy creditor of the railroad, which was built largely on money borrowed in Bluffton and Portland. Smith H. Bracey of Chicago is president and Fred Bimel vice preisdent of the railroad. The liabilities of the railroad are about f~06,000 of which 1558,000 is due the construction company. The remainder is due the bondholders and for labor and material used in construction. Among the assets of the company are four engines, seventy flat cars’ one passenger coach and twenty-seven miles of track valued at about <500.000. The road was bonded fort 15.000,000 but few of the bands were sold. Allen P. Russell second vice president and general manager of the real is in New York at the present time trying to sell the bonds. The offices of the road will be removed from Bluffton to Portland and it is probable that the iecciver will be allowed to continue the operation. It had been the intention to extend the line to Huntington which city and county had voted a subsidy of <58,000 and there is speculation as to whether the effort will be made to build the extension. The road has been operating one passenger coach between Bluffton, Pennville and Portland but it§ principal business has been in handling gravel. Bluffton gave the road a subsidy of <38,000, and the town of Pennville added <19,500 to the road’s finances. This road has occupied considerable space in the newspapers during the past year and the stringency they are now up against will be regretted by many people, especially those in and aroundJPennville where they have no railroad and who for years have been laboring unceasingly for any kind of a ’railroad. The subsidies voted the company at Portland, Pennville, Bluffton and Huntington aggregate more than <160,000 which is a handsome sum toward the construction of the line. The trouble came in the tightening of jthe eastern money market and the closing of the books toward the bonding of any new or uncertain enterprise. Their only hope for the final accomplishment of this road is for it tojall into the hands of those well known in railroad stock circles and who can induoe the owners of a good bundle of money to invest in the bonds issued against the water and other assets of the company. T his done the road can be built and when builtjwill likely prove a good thing for those concerned. It traverses a very good territory and one too that is not worried with camp etition in freight or passenger travel. M present • writing the road or the twenty seven constructed miles of it will be operated by a receiver and its future will be trusted to the luck of bringing the interprise out of the financial dumps into which it has unfortunately been driven.

• . COUNCIL MEETING. The city dads met last evening in regular business session with all members being present, Mayor i Coffee presiding. The regular rou- ■ tine of business being gone through several motion® l*inv presented and I relericd to ihe ie.-pie.ae cumndttees. Councilman Porter then made a motion that the city allow ! William Geary a compensation oi ten dollars per month for looking after the business men and city s interest, which resulted in a tie vote Mayor Caffee deciding in favor of the motion and the same was spread of record.

Wayne assisting in j the case of George E McKean against the city of Decatur, and also to allow Attorney Beatty to secure the services of Attorney , Henry Colerick of Ft.

Spuller about four miles east of the city was the scene of a most enjoyable time Tues, evening. About forty «f the members of the Ben Hur Lodge secured conveyances and drove to this beautiful country home, where they crept in the house without making any noise and seated themseves in his parlor. Tne old gentleman who had already retired was awakened by his wife and informed that there was a gentleman wanting to see him down stairs. To his great surprise he found not one genteman but several, besides ladies wanting to see him. The evening was delightfully spent in out of doors and in doors games, interspersed with music. So well did they enjoy the occasion that not until a very late hour were they seated to enjoy the last part of their entertainment, the refreshments which were enjoyed as heartily as was the first part.
