A paouliar decide it happened Thursday at the Frisinger & company’s stables, at Steele’s ] ark, in wiiica one of their big bay Belgium stallions which was recently imported from Germany was nearly killed. The accident happened ■while one of tho employees was currying the big animal during the progress of which the horse thitw up its head and came in contact with a live electric wire. Tie horse had no sooner touched tl e wire until he dropped over in his stall, and for fifteen minutes lay as if dead. Everyhting was done to relieve him and at last he recovered, still very,. weak and nervous. The horse is valued at <2500. The wire is being mended that further trouble may thus be avoided. From all present indications Decatur is to have one of .the swellest and most up to date music store in the state and this mammoth store opened Sitirday for the public’s inspection. The store is owned by the Star Piano company of Richmond and]is under the management of F. S. Smith of the above named city an old traveling xnan and a thorough musician and judgeJof instruments. The "Radamaoher building on Monroe street has-been secured by this company and has been put into excellent shape and ’is most attractive. A car load of pianos and organs are now on hands and another carload is expected the first of j'the week. The company will have a city salesman and a man will be’sent out on the roadfrepresenting] this uousiand the surroundingfterritory will be thoroughly worked. j\Tliis is sometinnglthe cityghaspieeded fcr a longjtime and one that the citizens may feci justlyj[proud *[of.

Place 'company on the the site where their main ice warehouse was; destroyed ten day ago. A force oflmen are building the foun dation and arranging tor the carpenters Linn &£Patten who {begin work next week. This building will be frame and will be 100 feet long and thirty feet wide, considerable bigger than the oldjdiouse. The work should not require more than a month, it being the desire to have it ready for the first heavy freeze. A force of men under Col. Oliver Jackson are also clearing away the debris and remains of the main factory and jnst as soon as possible this plant will be erected. This will be a brick or cement block structure built as nearly fireproof as possible and built in a modern and convenient manner. The J.W. Place company are progressive and their display of activity after the severe fire loss makes them deserving of the praise and respect of Decatur citizens. On Sunday at their home five miles south of this city, 'Mr. and Mrs Michael Miller celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary in a most elaborate style, and the occasion will be long remembered by those present. Although the day was rainy and bad, still it did not affect the attendance and nearly everyone who had received an inviation was present and assisted in the merry making. At noon a big dinner was served, at which time all the guests were seated about one large table. The afternoon was passed in playing numerous games and in talking over old times. In the evening a big supper was served and the evening enjoyably spent and as a parting a midnight lunch was had. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were the recipients of many beautiful presents These present were Mr. and Mrs. Kurber, Mr. and Mrs. F. Kurber, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Miller.

STRANGE ACCIDENTS. A Broken N>?ek as the Result of th* Turn of a Foot. “The man who fell out of bed and broke his neck will scarcely attract more than passing notice,” said a thoughtful man, “for there have been many cases equally remarkable. I recall one case where a man’s neck was broken by a very slight turn of his foot. He attempted to ’catch himself’— that is, to preserve his balance —and the effort was of such violence that he broke his neck. Many men have broken their necks by a sudden stumble and a fall on the sidewalk or by being knocked down by some hurrying pedestrian, or by a street car or a vehicle of some sort. ‘•lt is not at all ui??ommon for a policeman, with no intention of doing more than subdue an unruly member, to break an offender's neck by rapping him over the head with his club. Sometimes the fall which follows and sometimes the blow breaks the neck of the offender. Sometimes a sudden, violent motion of the head, a quick jerking motion, the kind we make when dodging, will break the neck. ”1 recall a case where a man threw his neck out of joint without breaking it by throwing bis head to one side in an effort to dodge a bullet fired at him at short range. The bullet passed through the rim of his hat. Even after that he carried his bead tilted over the right shoulder and was never able to straighten it.”--New Orleans TimcsDemocrat. How Wines Are Colored. "Merit people think white grapes make rnite wine and dark grapes make red wine,” said a visitor. “That is a popuar error. “Red wine Is made by fermenting {rape juice and grape skins together die skins giving the color, and white wine is made by fermenting grape Juice alone. “The juice of white and of dark grapes doesn’t differ in hue. In each sort of grape the juice is almost color less, like the weakest lemonade. “Champagne, one of the dearest of the white wines, is made of a grape so dark as to be nearly black. But the juice of that nearly black grape is quite as pale as the juice of tb“ ’-fondest white grape.”—Minneapolis - aal. Japnnese Radish. Picture to yourself a pure white radish the size of a baseball or larger, firm and solid. Such >o the Japanese radish. Cut it, and you find it has the consistency of a Baldwin apple, firm md fine grain; taste, and it proves to be away ahead of the most delicate spring radish that ever passed your Ips. It will thrive at any season durng the growing year. It may be transplanted or left alone, cultivated or uncultivated. It is as good to eat when in ilooin as in its younger days, and one radish will provide bulk enough for three or four people or more.—Garden Magazine. War History. An old darky was watching the G. A R. parade one Memorial day and was vociferously cheering band. I suppose you were through the civil war, uncle?" said a bystander. ■Ever' step of it, sub!” “At the surrender too?” “Ever' step of It. sub!” ■What did General Lee say to General Grant?” “Never Said nuttin’, suh; des thopped off his haid sn’ went on!” The Wily Barber. “Ah. yes,” mused Mr. Oldboy. “when I was a young fellow and went to th* hairdresser’s to get my hair cut he used to flatter me by asking if I wanted a shave. Now when I go to tbs hairdresser’s to get a shave he flatters me by asking if I want my hair cut.” Almost Haman Intelligence. Mrs. Meßryde—John, I’m simply disgusted.

I have seldom known any one who deserted truth in trifles that could be trusted in matters of importance.— Paley. 3- smnggler. Some years ago a tame long haired goat formed part of the regular crew of a passenger .iteamer on service between an English port and a continental one. After a time the customs authorities discovered that it wore a false coat many sizes too large for It. The goat’s own hair was clipped very close. Round its body were packed cigars, lace, etc., and then the false coat was stallfully put on and fastened by hooks and eyes.

Higher Chinese Ktiucntlon, Many of our people think of China as a land of ignorant coolies who are so inferior to ourselves as to rise scarcely to the plane of human beings. The fact is that China contains a greater number of educated and cultivated people than any other country in the world. Their culture is not like ours, but it is based upon long study of literature, ethics and philosophy, and it has been transmitted through many generations. The Chinese have not well learned how to act together. Otherwise we should never have dared to treat them recklessly and unfairly — Review of Reviews. A Way Some Women Have. I have heard that women are dishonest in the way of sending to milliners for boxes of hats on approval, keeping them for a week, and, when they return them with a note to say that none suits, the owners first that each has been worn ouee, if not several times, and this fact is betrayed by innumerable pin holes. I certainly myself have known women who are not above sending for clothes on approbation, carefully taking the pattern and getting them copied by a cheaper dressmaker. — Lady Henry Somerset in Black and White. INDEPENDENCE DAY. according to John Adams, It Should Be July 2. On the 3d of July, 1776, John Adams, then one of the representatives of Massachusetts In the Continental congress, wrote to his wife Abigail: “Yesterday the greatest question was decided which was ever debated in America, and a greater perhaps never was nor will be decided among men.” In a second letter, written the same day, he said: “But the day is past. The 2d of July will be the most memorable epocha in the history of America. lam apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as'the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time for ward, forevermore.” When the resolution was taken up on the 2d, all the states, except New York, voted to accept it. Thus, on the 2d day of July, 1776, the independence if the thirteen united colonies from the throne of Great Britain was definitely decided upon. The 2d, and not the 4th, may be called the true date of the separation. We could with propriety celebrate the Fourth two days earlier. That the participants in the work considered the 2d as the true date is shown by the letters written by John Adams, quoted at the beginning of the article. The popular fancy, however, seized upon the 4th, the date of acceptance of Jefferson's more dramatic declaration of the reasons for the separation, as the proper day to celebrate. The debate upon the document was continued until the afternoon of the 4th, and, says Jefferson, might have run on interminably at any other season of the year. But the weather was oppressively warm, and the hall in which the deputies sat was close to a stable, “whence the hungry flies swarmed thick and fierce, alighting on the legs of the delegates and biting hard through their thin silk stockings. Treason was preferable to discomfort.” and at last the delegates were brought to such a state of mind as to agree to the Declaration without further amendment. It is a mistake to suppose that the document was signed by the delegates on that day It is improbable that any signing was done save by John Hancock, the president of the congress, and Charles Thomson, the secretary.—Paul Leland Haworth in Harper’s Mag Nothing more completely baffles on* who is full of trick and duplicity thaa Straightforward and simple integrity in another.—Colton. In the Ornnce Free State. At an examination for admission to the British Military college at Sandhurst many candidates in answer to a question about hydrogen wrote that the gas was not found in the Orange River Colony. This puzzled the examiner, who told the story to an army coach. The coach, after thinking awhile, said: “I have it. I remember impressing the fact on a number of my pupils that hydrogen does not occur in the free state.” Is Youth Damp? A subscriber who complained to the publisher that his paper was “damp” received the reply from the patient and long suffering editor that perhaps it was because there was so much “due” on it.

AN PHYSICIAN After Years of Experience Gives Ihe Following Advice “If you have any thing to do with medicines at all be pretty sure you know what you are taking. Smith Yager A Falk, our local druggists, say this is a strong point in favor of their valuable cod preparation Vinol. Ev’rythingit contains is plainly printed on the bottle, therefore it is not a patent medicine. Vinol contains in a highly concentrated form all the medicinal elements of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cod’s livers, but without a drop of oil or grease to nauseate and upset the stomach. This is the reason that Vinol accomplishes such wonderful results in curing chronic coughs, colds, bronchial and lung troubles, and their is nothing known to medicine that will quickly build up the run down, overworked, tired and debihated, or give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, Vinol. Mrs. Martha Fraser of Portland, Me., writes “I was all run down from overwork and had a chronic cough for years. I had tried so many remedies without help, that I had lost all faith in medicine. My daughter brought me a bottle of Vinol. It simply worked wonders for me: it cured my cough and brought back health and strength and I am better than I have been for years.” We can only ask every one in Decatur who needs such a medicine to try Vinol on our guarantee to return -their mon ey if it fails.” Smith.

Jay Cooke In 1566 told the follow.ng: “One day when I was putting government bonds upon the market I was greatly annoyed by the clerks telling me that there was au old man in the office who would do no business with them and must see me. To get rid of him I went out. Said he: “ ‘Mr. Cooke, I have got $3,000 in gold in this bag. 1 can’t do anything with it in the town where I live. They are circulating grocer* checks and everything else but money, and I am frightened because I think I y ill be cheated if I dispose of it. Will you tell me on your word of honor if these bonds are sound and right? “I replied: ‘lf they are not right aothing is right. I am putting all I have iu the world into them.’ further conversation the man concluded to take them. “ ‘Wnat denomination will you have them iu?' I asked. “This was too much for the old man.

Austin, Mgr. of the “Republican,"of Levenworth, Ind., was not unreasonable, when he refused to allow the Doc tors to operate on his wife, for female trouble, “Instead,” he says, “we excluded to try Electric Bitters.

After taking Electric Bitters, she was perfectly cured, and can now preform all her household duties.” Guaranteed by Blackburn & Christen druggists, price 50c.
