Every boy ■tom the first grade to the highest determined that he will eat his books rather than obey the Statest order of the board—to bring » piece of cloth, a needle and some (®arend to school with him each fnorning and learn to sew. Thats ■h,' order that promises to rend the |Kir. national “harmony of Wabash. It has already stirred up a furore If excitement in the city. Parents lh e protested in vain. The school b rd says that every pupil, boy as ■veil as girl, must learn to do plain ■owing, Only boys in the high ■chool are exempt.

was received in this city I Tuesday evening announcing the sad news that Mrs.W.H. Worden had departed this life at her home at | Marion, on Monday, at four o’clock, after an illness of only a week’s duration, with heart failure. Mrs. ' Worden will no doubt be quite well remembered by the older citizens of this city and county, they having at one time resided here. The funeral service will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, and a number of relatives from this city will attend. .She was a sister-in-law to Seymour Worden, and an aunt of Mrs. George Winters and Will Worden, who reside in this city. James H. Davis, the cement sidewalk contractor, returned last evening from Portland, where he was putting in a contract levee job, with his gang of men, and will immediately start at work here cleaning up the contracts for sidewalks that ' he has in this city. Mr. Davis in- ' formed us that the job at Portland was one of the hardest that he had ever attempted, but that he had the best of success, and his work was readily accepted after inspeo- I tion. He has a number of walks here to complete, namely the Burt i House, the I. O. O. F. block, Holthouse Drug Co., and several others that will keep him busy until the snow flies. Deputy Sheriff Dallas Butler arrived home Tuesday evening from Lima, Ohio, and brought with him Robert Carpenter, who is charged with burglaiizing the Baumgartner hardware store at Berne about ten days ago. Carpenter refused to come withcut requisition papers and considerable red taps was necessary. The deputy sheriff was forced to make two trips to Indianapolis and one to Columbus and after finally securing the proper papers the Lima prosecutor refused to give up the prisoner, desiring to hold him to serve out a sentence for carrying concealed weapons. That official was finally convinced as to his duty and the prisoner was brought here and landed in jail. He will no doubt soon be arraigned in court. He says he is innocent and will fight the charge against him, though the evidence looks pretty conclusive.

Willis Spufjt sr, son of Mr. and Mrs. .Who Spoiler of Monroe township, is confined to his home with a very severe astack of typhoid fever. A surprise upon George Lowden was a social event of Saturday , evening, participated in by fifty members of the G. A. R . Sons of Veterans and W. R. C. The event was in honor of Mr. Lowden’s - birthday. Charles Skiver, the aeronau t from North Baltimore, Con., and Manning Hart, also an aeronaut, of Matthews, Ind., are in the city, and arranging to make an ascension at some point in the’ county soon. These “up-in-a-balloon-boys’’ were at Chattanooga Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. John Edington and James Edington left Monday for Spokane. Washington, where they expect to make their future home. It is the intention of John and his brother to look for a desirable location to open up an up-to-date bakery. If this location can not be found at Spokane they will try elsewhere. During the p ist ten years Mr. Edington has been engaged in the baking business and is thoroughly acquainted with every feature of this line, and knows how to please ’ the people. His brother has also ! been engaged in the same business and is thoroughly acquainted with | this art. Both of the men for some time past have been employed at | the Peoples’ restaurant. We wish them success. Two interurban men were picked up late Monday night by Police- [ man Reynolds on a charge of public intoxication and disorderly conduct. Both men were placed in the county bastile until this morning when they were brought before Mayor Coffee and permitted to tell their ' little tale of woe. It was the same ! old story so often sung, about meeting friends and trying to be good fellows and got one or two more drinks more in them than they could handle, and of course I desired to celebrate. Their story, | however, did nbt seem to have any effect on the mayor, as .he handed I them out the full alkwanoe, one dollar and Costs in each case, maki ing the total amount f 15.60. Not ( being able to pay they took the I only course left, and were immediately taken back to jail.

invitations have been received in this city announcing the approaching marriage of Miss Dixie Triplett, 1 a well known young lady, who has frequently visited her sister, Mrs. Samuel Ao <er, here. The cards , are sent out by Mr. S. B. Triplett, and invite the recipient to attend the wedding of his daughter, Miss ( .George Dixie Triplett to Mr. Walter Scott Yates. The event willi 'occur at the Baptist church, Stamp- ’ ing Ground, Kentucky, Wednesday afternoon, October! 2th. Mr. Yates is a Toledo business man. Vincent D. 8011, who was so badly bruised in a runaway last week, is still in bed and unable to get about, although the doo.ors think there is nothing serious in his' condition, he does not seem to mend as fast as was to be hoped for, and his near relatives are getting somewhat alarmed. Still being a man well up in years, it is probable that he would not recover as rapidly as a younger man, who would be more able to stand the bumps. His many friends here in the city are hoping for his speedy recovery. Jerimiah Andrews, sixty-eighr years of age died Mondoy at his home one mile north of Monroe at twelve o’clock, after an illness of two years’ durition, with a com-1 plication of diseases. When but ,i a mere boy Mr. Andrews came to this county and settled with his [ | parents near Monroe. Three years ago he removed his family to • Kansas where he purchased a fat m and lived for two years, finally becoming dissatisfied with that 3 country he disposed of his property ' and returned to his old home in 7 this county. Mr. Andrews was a 1 member of the Methodist church and was a sincere Christian and an earnest worker in behalf of his belief. During all his two years of sickness he was never heard to ? complain and bore his illness and ' pain with the firm belief that God s 1 will be done and that He knew 3 best. The funeral services will be ’ held tomorrow afternoon at one 7 ‘o’clock at the Washington church. l lThe Rev. James. A. Sprague e ; will conduct the services and interI ment will be made at the Rav cemf etery. He leaves a wife, five sons and two daughters and a host ot j friends to mourn their loss.

J. T. Archbold, one of the beet known citizens of Decatur, suffered an attack of heart failure while i standing in front of the Holthouse ; Drug store at four yesterday i afternoon, and died instantly. He was carried into the drug store and i Dr. Costello called, but he was beyond earthly help. He was talking to W. A. Kuebler when the collapse came. He has been in poor hea Ith j for a year past. I J. O. Clemons, of Dunkirk, Ind., is in onr city today looking for a desirable location to open up a dry ' goods and notion store. Mr. Clemons stated to a representative of this paper that he was at present (engaged jn the same business at ; Dunkirk, but did not like the location he was in and desired to move, ■ this city suiting him in every re- ■ spcct. He has several buildings under inspection, and if he can > make the necessary arrangements will move his entire stock here at - once. This, however, he will not » know for several days, as he has submitted a proposition and the parties here are considering it.

Burt M mgold arrived this morning from Clarksvlle. Tenn., where he had been traveling for a wholesale firm. He will now prepare to eave for school at Indianapolis. Trustee John J. Soldner settled for a number of sheep killed and wounded by dogs in his township two weeks ago says the Berne N ewe. The sheep were the property of Jacob Huser. Mr. Soldner was obliged to pay $6 a head for the sheep, the sum amounting to S9O. A week ago last Thursady dogs stampeded the flock and killed one sheep outright. Twelve others died of injuries thus inflicted and eight were more or less hurt. Mr. Huser saw the dogs but was unable to kill them. He was unable to discover the owner of the dogs. The sheep were all good ones. The money thus paid for the loss of sheep is taken out of the dog tax fund. This fund is maintained for ; just such emergencies. Oftentimes serious objection is raised to tax on i dogs, but the good of such a tax is i seen in such instances as that recorded in the feregoing.
