Dick Reed and family ] e ft yesterday over the Erie railroad for their newjhome at Seattle Washington where Mr, Reed expects to go in the real estate business. p or years Mr. Reed had been a resident of this city and county being most of thaftime engaged in the machine business A number of friends were assembled at the train this morning to bid them goodbye, and to wish Mr. Reed success in his new home and business. Win. Baumgartner, of the firm of Baumgartner Bros , was painfully injured Thursday while assisting several other men in loading a oar with furniture and farming implements belonging to John Maurer. A freight engine backed into the car and all the men were thrown violently against furniture and implements. Mr. Baumgartner sustained a deep gash in the scalp and other bruises about the face. Dr. Schenk dressed his wounds.—Berne News. The reception tendered the Sunday school children of the Presbyterian church last evening was well attended and all seemed to have a most delightful time. A program consisting of music and recitations and other entertaining features was successfully carried out to the utmost enjoyment of the children. During the evening light refreshments were served, consisting of ice cream and cake. The superintendent and teachers of this Sunday school are to be congratulated up m their new mode of entertaining their little folks. The Entre Nous club is once again fixed up and their new quarters are as fine as any one could desire. The boys since moving from their old quarters over the Winnes shoe store to their new ones over Gus Rosenthal’s, did not at once furnish their new quarters, as they were waiting upon new material. These articles arrived Saturday and the boys at once got busy, and they now have the prettiest club rooms in Northern Indiana. The rear room, which is a very large one, has been put in shape for dancing purposes, and this will be one of the special features of the club, as they intend to give regular dances this winter. The club will be formally opened on Hallowe’en night, when a good time will be in order. After suffering six weeks from the effects of caustic potash taken with suioidaljintent, Harley Snyder, a young man of Jefferson township, died at his home northeast of Ossian at five o clock yesterday. The dying hours of the young man were attended with the greatest agony as the poison had inflamed and closed up his throat. About six weeks ago Snyder took the poison with the intention of ending his life, which desire was prompted it is said by an unsuccessfu' love affair. The fact that he had taken the poison was discovered in time to save his life. He began getting better > nd soon afterward received a letter from the girl whose rejection of him had caused his attempt at suicide. But the poison left effects that the doctors could not remedy-and for the past three or four weeks has been slowly dying. Family troubles, in addition to his love affair, are said to have been the cause of his desire to commit suicide. —Bluffton News.

James Cook was arrested Satu - day evening by Marshal Green for > being drunk and disorderly. He ' was given free use of the jail over Sunday, and this morning at nine o'clock was brought before Mayor Coffee, where he plead guilty and ' was given the usual dose, $9.30, which he promptly paid and was dischared. He gave his name as being at Rivare. He had with him two friends who assisted him out'of his trouble. Mr. D. M. Robbins arrived today from Matthews, and will make this her future home. Mr. Robbins is the man that received the message a short time ago in care of Judge Erwin notifying him of the loss of his property by fire. Mr. Robbins says that the message name that way owing to the fact that his wife did not know any one else with whom her husband was acquainted. Thy will reside east of the oit y. Yesterday at the home of her father, W. S. Sutton, at Geneva, Miss Grace Sutton was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Mr. Henry Pennypacker, of Wilmington. Deleware. The wedding services were simple but most impressive, the Rev. Preston, of Fort Wayne, officiating. Only the immediate relatives and a few intimate friends were present to witness the happy event. Immediately following the wedding a sumptous wedding dinner'was served. Miss Sutton is quite well known in this city having formerly made this her home, and she has a host of friends here. M. Pennypacker is one of Wilmington’s best citizens. The happy young couple will leave in a few days for the east, where they expect to make their future home. The groom is a relative of Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylvania, and is a wealthy young manufacturer. The Democrat extends Congratulations and best wishes. Lew Hughes informed us that he had recei ved' a letter from bis daughter, Mrs. Frank Gessinger, who went to Roswell, New Mexico, a few weeks ago, being called there owing to the serious illness of her husband, stating that she had arrived at Rosswell safe and sound on October 3rd. after having a very rough journey, delays being caused by wrecks and other misfortunes, she having had to make part of the distance by the overland route. She stated that she found Frank’s condition much better than it had been for several days before she arrived, but as to how serious his i llness was she was unable to state as she had not as yet bad an opportunity to converse with the doctor who is treating her husband. She also stated that she found Rosswell to be an old fashioned town and very low, being at the present time flooded, something like two foot of water standing in the streets.

R. 8. Peterson, the well known attorney, who has been in poor health for a year past, is again confined to his bed. having suffered a slight relapse yesterday. John Macke, the ten-months’ old child of Mr. and Mrs. William Macke, died Tuesnay of enlargement of the liver. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock, the Rev. Klausing conducting the services. L. Collins, a brakeman on the Grand Rapids, lost his pocketbook in this city yesterday while assisting in switching oars. It contained twelve dollars in money and a Hinton meal ticket. He offers a liberal reward to the"man who finds it and returns it te him. It is thought that none of the victims shot by Daniel Tuigg on a Pennsylvania train near Warsaw Monday night will die. The wound of Mr. George Gault, of Monroeville, is comparatively trivial and he was able to go to his home yesterday. Carl Peckham will have to remain at Hope hospial for sometime, but it was announced last night that he will recover. The bullet, which entered the left shoulder, ranged too high, it is thought, to strike any vital organs. The bullet has not yet been located, but the patient spent an easy day yesterday and last night he rested well. Lieutenant Bates, of the Pennsylvania police force, who with two patrolmen, took Tuigg from the train when it arrived here yesteiday, went before Justice Skelton and swore out a warrant charging the prisoner with l>eing a fugitive from justice. This was done in order to hold Tuigg for the officers of Kosciusko county, where the shooting took place. The affidavit filed by Bates charged the prisoner with assault and battery with intent to kill George Gault. Tuigg was much more calm yesterday than on Monday night. Dr. Calvin was called to attend him. The treatment seemed to help him. He appears more like a man who just recovering from a protracted spree than one who is permanently He was much concerned ’about the condition of his victims yesterday and expressed a hope that they would recover.—Fort Mayne Journal Gazette.

The Decatur High school foot ball team are fast rounding in’o shape, and will soon be ready to announce their 1904 schedule of games. The boys think they are the equal of any team their weight in the state, and fully expect to demonstrate that fact before the season is far advanced. Yesterdav afternoon the two Decatur race horses, True Worth and Virgil C., were shipped home from Mount Gilead Ohio, and are now stabled in their winter quarters in this city. The horses were shipped home for the reason that True Worth, the trotting horse, while engaged in a race at the above named place last week cut his left foreleg just above the hoof, making two bad wounds, thus throwing him out of four weeks' racing that yet remains in this season. Mr Flanders stated that he was too valuable an animal to take any chance with, and when advised of the extent of the injuries ordered his horse shipped home. Virgil C. being in the same string was also shipped with him. These two horses have been working in some very fast races and getting their share of the purses. They will be raced again next season if some unorseen accident does not happen during the Coming winter. The large tent erected bye th enterprising democrats of Berne was filled Tuesday night, at which time and place Judge R. K. Erwin and David E. Smith discussed the issues as only Adams county political orators can. They talked earnestly of the evils of Roseteltism, the trusts and imperialism, and were well received, and enthusiastically applauded. The Decatur Glee club and the Berne City band Jwere also well received. At election school house in Kirkland township, more than eighty voters crowded that school room and heard James T. Merryman. John W. Tyndall and Jesse Robnson talk upon the issues and duties of those who wield the power of the ballot. An equally large'and enthusiastic crowd heard Dore B. Erwin and John C- Moran at the Erwin school house in Union township. The meetings held this year equal those of 1896 when every voter was a fighting warrior for the interests and welfare of his party.

Arthur Berry has accepted a position as night bus driver fcr the Burt House. O. G. Hall the temperance billliarci hall man has come out wit h the statement that he expects to move his outfit from his present location on Monroe street to new quarters at Kokcmo, where a bet ter opening awaits him He expects to move some [time prior to the fifteenth of this month and be ojiened np in Kokomo by November 1. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Frank Siler, the fellow known as ‘Dutch Frank ’, who has worked for H. H. Bremerkamp at the Fornax mills for a year past. He is charged with forgery, and if he can be located, it's a safe guess that Ije will quit drinking for a while at least. Siler and[ Nolan King had some trouble with Clem Knoff, so the latter claims, a week ago Saturday night. The latter filed affidavits against the two first named, but when the officers began a search for Siler he was missing. It was considered a ‘ good riddance of bad rubbish” and no great effort was made to secure him. He has not been seen since, but this morning the Old Adams County bank discovered in their mail two forged checks, one sent in from a Bluffton bank, and the other from a Redkey bank, each signed H. H. Bremer kamp, and each calling for twenty dollars. One was made out to Frank Fritz and had been cashed first by Harry Deam, who in turn had cashed it at Ashbauoher Bro's, store and they at the bank Mr Deam is no doubt stuck for the amount. The other was cashed by M. E. Ellis who deposited it at the Redkey bank. The checks had been stolen from Mr. Bremerkamp’s check book as they bore the stamp '•'Fornax Mills” across the end. The cheok cashed at Redkey was made out to Henry Mayer. An effort will be made to land Siler and as the officers have his picture he may be captured. He is a bad fellow, and has been in several scrapes of minor importance since coming here. 1)R. P. L. FRITZ Dentist Office above Holthouse. Schulte & Co’s - clothing store.. DECATCB, INDIANA.
