ARRANGING TO BUY LAND. For Several months a rumor has been current here that he Erie railroad had plans for elaborate improvements in this city. Just what these plans are have never been made public, but the opinion of! many is that they intend at some I future time n*t v*” , y far distant to make Decatur a division and to remove the Huntington shops here, it being argued that Presi-| dent Shonts of the Clover Leaf being a heavy stockholder in the Erie is planning to combine rhe shops for the two roads and thus save a big expense item. Hints astothe truth of this statement have at various times come from officials of high standing in away ; which have convinced at least a few Decatur people who are on the inside of railroad affairs that about three months ago it was reported that Erie representatives .v ere j here and to obtain an option on the i ChriStianer farm, which lies just j west of town and between the two railroads No w comes a report that leads us to believe that these rumors have a good foundation and brightens Decatur’s future considerable. George Trask, editor of the Railroad News department of the Indianapolis Star and who has a reputation of being the most re-, liable railroad corresspondent in the West, says in his column: “Representatives of the Chicago & Erie railroad were in Decatur a few days ago trying to purchase a forty acre tract of land lying adjacent to the Clover Leaf shop site. While the deal was not closed it is said the {offer made will lie accepted.'’ Information further than this cannot be obtained at present, but will likely be given out in a few days. At any rate it’s in the air and the rapid growth of Decatur is more than a possibility. One of jthe men interested in the Christianer farm was interviewed to ay, and said they were perfectly willing to sell their jand for the purpose mentioned, but not sell to anyone but an Erie representative direct. DEPORTLD TO GERMANY. Just a month ago Friday Miss Anna Bohnke was taken from this county tc the East Haven hospital at Richmond, she being insane. Her sad story will be remembered by our readers. She was a young lady who had came from Germany only six months before to visit her uncle, Fred Boehnke and other rela fives in this county. She soon showed signs of mental trouble and her condition grew so seriou* that it was necessary to send her to Richmond. Today County Clerk G<rber received word that ste had been dismissed from East Haven aid in rather an unusual manner. As soon as she became an inmt te at that institution the officials be-r-'n an investigation of her previous life, result ag in the discovery that putious to - jming here she had been mmate in an insane asylum in Germany. International laws are very strict on this subject and as soon as the necessary proof was obtained Miss Bohnke was turned over to the United States immigrant inspector, whose duty it is to ■depoit her to her native land. The United States government in cases such as this sends an attendant with the patient. His expenses are paid and the government then collects the amount from the victim’s native government. Miss Bohnke was released yesterday and is already enroute home Richmond, Ind., Jan. 18.—Having become dependent within two years after arriving in this country from Germany, Miss Anna B ’ nke, inmate of the Easthaven Hospital for the.insane, will be returned to her native land by the United States immigration authorities. The young weman came from Westphalia, Germany, last May. She made her home with relatives near Decatur, Ind. She will start fcr Germany, Saturday, sailing from New York, and the steamship company that brought her toAmerica will carry her free of charge to Westphalia. Wonderful Nerve Wonderful nerve is displayed by a man enduring pains of accidental cuts, wounds, bruises, burns, scalds, sore feet or stiff joints. But there’s no need for it. Bucklen’s Arnica Salve will kill the pain and cure the trouble. It’s the best salve on earth for piles, too. 25c at Blackburn & Christen’s drug store.

RUSSIAN TROUBLES St. Petersburg, Jan. 23.—The latest from the seat of war finds the situation unchanged, with the exception that the Czar in away bows o the demands of the workmen by promising to issue a manifesto to the people with a view to calming , them, and to appoint a mixed ' commission to investigate and decide the questions of the demands of the strikers, especially the one affecting hours of labor, which Russian law fixes at eleven The representatives of the workmen are not to be ap]>ointed. but selected by the workmen themselves. This would be a direct concession to the people. The emperor also.promises to investigate yesterday’s events in St.. Petersburg. The deplorable occurrences of yesterday were not repeated today, but a single blank volley bling fired Business of every description has been suspended, and four of the St. Petersburg newspapers as soon as they are able to resume publication, declare their intention of defying the censorship in the matter of strike news. The situation is very grave and another outbreak is not unexpected. On [the other hand the end of the revolt may be at hand. TELEGRAPH FLASHES. Wabash, Ind., Jan. 23.— C. F. Dieterich and A. B. Proal, president and secretary cf the Logansport & Wabash Valley Gas company, Ohio an Indiana Gas company and a number of independent companies affiliated with the Dietrich syndicate, are making an inspection of the field in this vicinity with a view to introducing artificial gas for fuel purposes The large investments of the companies in mains and pipes make it almost imperative for the company to utilize them in selling fuel gas, and the Dieterich people are now ascertain ing what franchises can be obtained from the various city councils with a view to installing artificial plants to make cheap gas when natural gas gives out entirely. The Logansport & Wabash Valley company’s 6 per cent bonds, secured by mortgage on the plants h°re, at Peru, Logansport and Decatur, and representing 11,750,000, are now selling for 30 cents on the dollar. The establishment of an artificial gas plant here was spoken of in this paper Several months ago as a possibility, end will no doubt be a reality. As stated at that time a meeting will be held in February to determine the matter. This action would shut off the natural gas. Upon affidavit of Dr. C. H. Schenk, of Berne, papers were is med for the return of Mrs. Cecil Augsburger to the Richmond insane asylum. Mrs. Augsburger was an inmate there from July 24, 1902, to January 17, 1903. She seemed to have recovered until lately when her mind again became noticeably affected. She has a religious mania, and believes she is Jesus Christ. For the past month this city seems to have been the mecca for tramps who have been giving the police no end of trouble, and causing the citizens some inconvenience. This should be stopped and the city made such a terror to these travelling gentleman that they, would give us a wide berth. You can assist the police by refusing them any thing to eat instead of being lienient to them and the city officials shoul furnish some kind of employment to keep them busy while inmprisoned. In this j way they would soon shunDooatur. Saved from Terrible Death. The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbit, of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most skillful physicians and every remedy used, failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her life. In this terrible I hour Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption turned despair into joy. The first bottle brought im mediate relief and its continued use completely cured her. It’s the most cor tain cure in the world for all j throat and lung troubles. GuaranI teed. Bottles 500 and |l. Trial . bottles free at Blackburn & Chrisi ten’s drug store.

The Sanderson murder cases may be venued from Blackford to Wells icounty for trial. Ex-Judge Mat kins of the Huntington, oiicuit court has been decided upon as the trial judge. The case will be called up at Hartford City, January 30. Monte Cristo, the play billed for the opera house Friday, January has a great reputation. It has been ■ played by man? celebrated actors. Mr.” James O’Neil, whom everyone knows by reputation, will always be connected with the play, his rendition of the part of Edmond Dante ranking very high in the estimation cf every American theatre goer.; and his memory will live forever on account of his connection with this • great play. Ed Neuenschwander, the Linn Grove hardware man. bought a lot j at Vera Cruz this week throuf.h the Frank Mosure real estate agency from Fred Shigley, of Muncie, fcr| 1375, and it is his intention to build a large brick business block 25x120 ' feet in dimensions. He will remove the old building from the lot and when tl e new block is completed will open a large store at Sera Cruz. The citizens of that place j are feeling elated over the prospects of improvements.-—Bluffton News The case of John S. Bowers against the city of Decatur has been stricken from the docket, the suit having been settled out of court. Bowers was suing thee ity for SIB,OOO in payment for the construction of the Elm street sewer and for two or three years the council declined to accept the- work and also refused to make the assessment aganst property owners to pay for the work. Mandamus proceedings were brought to compel! the city to make the assessments. The suit was then settled by the citv's acceptance of the work.—Portland Commercial Review. A Guaranteed Cure for Piles.
