RETIRED IN GOOD HEALTH Was Found Cold in the Embrace of Death by a Grandson This Morning. I T Mrs. Maria Deyo, aged seventysix yea's, died some time last night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Kelly, in Blue Creek township. The old lady had been in the best of health during the day and had assisted in entertaining some company. She ate a hearty supper and insisted upon helping do the evening work. Before retiring to bed and about nine o’clock she inhaled the fumes of an asthma tablet and stated she .felt better than for some time. (Charles Kelly a young man about the house, went to bed about ten o’clock and passed through Mrs. Deyo’s room. He then asked her if he* had not better put a comforter over her and close the window. She anwered in the negative, saying it was too warm. This morning about six o’clock when the young man arose he again looked in her room and noticed spmething wrong and conveyed his fears to his mother, . saying he thought she was dead. The family at once went to the room and found that Mrs. Deyo was cold and had been dead for some time. They

then noticed the suroundings and found the window down and a comforter over her, showing that she had -arisen some time in the night, closed the window and covered herself.

AN EXCITING WEDDING TRIP 1 By Young People Who are Now Guests at Kendall Home Mr. and Mrs. Bates, of Tipton, Ind., are at the home of W. A. Kendall and family in this village, having arrived* here Sunday evening after an exciting breakaway from enthusiastic acquain- ( tances. The fact that the young peo- . pie were married Saturday evening ] and are spending their honeymoon in Willshire, may give the reader the ( key to the story. Mr. and Mrs. Bates ( had announced that their marriage would take place June 6, but realizing , that their friends were preparing to , play them some outlandish trick, so , ias to make them appear ridiculous and green, they decided to change the date and get married quietly at rhe home of the bride’s parents Saturday eve ning and take the train immediate!} thereafter. Again the jokers antic , ipated them, and were on the scent to create all the mischief they could ; device. It was then that the fathei ' of the bride took a hand in the game ; He hurried the couple out the Lac’. , door to the stable, bundled them int a carriage, drove headion" throug the crowd that had gathered i .th I ally crossing and escaped with lb lovers to Windfall, where the mm 1 -

riage ceremony was performed. The bride and groom were then driven to Greentown, where they took a Sunday train for Willshire. The bride is a niece of Mrs. Kendall and is prominent in the social world of Tipton.—Willshire Herald. IT IS A NICE PIECE OF PIE i . Newspaper Comment on the Appointment cf Postmaster. | • i Speaking of our new postmaster, the Decatur Journal says: “It is a nice piece of pie, and we congratulate | Dyke on his success or good fortune jin having a papa who goes after and gets these nice little things for his children. Dyke is barely twenty-one years of age and will probably be the youngest postmaster of the class in the state. He is a young man of good character and popular among hsi friends, He would probably have been given the place when Albert Brittson was appointed, but his swaddling clothes■ would not permit.” A GUARANTEED CURE FOR PILES Itching, Blind, Bleeding or Protrudining Pies Druggists refund money if PAZO OINTMENT fails to cure anj case, no matter of how long standing, ; in 6 to 14 days ’ First application gives ease and rest, 50c If your druggist hasn’t it, send 50c In stamps and it ■ will be forwarded postpaid by the Paris Medicine Co., S.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING Business in the Morning—Discussion < in the Afternoon and Sermons in the Evening. The Zion Classis are holding their ' innual business session in this city at . he Reformed church, every member of the Classis being present-, as well as the Elders. The first session was held Wednesday morning, when a ' sermon was delivered by Rev. Bosch of Forf Wayne. This session was in German and was listened to by a large crowd. Wednesday evening the I Classis r< organized and Rev. Bosch of Fort Wayne was the unanimous choice of the Classis for president ind Rev. A. Grether of Marion was selected as the corresponding secretary. On Thursday morning the parochial reports were read and some very encouraging facts were brought out, as well as some discouraging features. The afternoon was passed by holding a general discussion on the modern methods of evangelism and revivals and some very interesting points were heard. In the evening Rev. Kielsmeier of Auburn, delivered a sermon in English, which was eagerly listened to by a large crowd. This morning, the reports of the committees of the different branches of the Classis work were read and approved. The most interesting of these reports was the one read by Treasurer Mathias Kirsch, of this city, which was encouraging and showed Mr. Kirsch to be a shrewd business man. The afternoon was taken up in a general discussion of the Holy Communion and some interesting features were brought out. This evening, Rev. Ruf of Fort Wayne, will hold a preparatory service for the Communion, which the congregation and Classis will take together. The meetings are proving interesting and are being a tended by large crowds. The services s will close Sunday. MAKING MONEY FROM BEES It’s an Easy Way of Sure Profit, Says Exchange. The business of bee-keeping, according to a writer in the New Idea "Woman’s Magazine for July, is “ light, fascinating and pleasant.” In fact, as the bees do the work, it seems that this occupation is the nearest that there is to having a number of good investments with certain dividends. “The initial outlay,” say the writer, “may be very small; fifteen dollars will secure a modern hive, a colony of good Italian bees, with a queen, and 'all necessary accessories. As soon as a little experience has been gained, the apiary may be built up by adding nuclei (a few hundred working bees) together with new queens at intervals at the cost of a few dollars. The natural increase will then result in an apiary of fifty or one hundred colonies in a few years.” Many good suggestions are given to those desiring to add to their income by this charming industry. It appears that the time to begin the business of beekeeping is during the summer months, and “there will be little to do except to watch the bees at their work and become as familiar as possible with their habits.” One duty of the keeper, however, is to protect the bees as far as possible from their insect enemies, “brush away the spider’s web, craftily woven near the hive entrance, as well as to drive off the bold ant who is constantly robbing the bee of her honey.” Particularly for women, who desire to earn a modest income f,or themselves in the country, is beekeeping recommended as an “ideal out door occupation.” Mrs. James Boyer, who resided several miles west of Willshire in Adams, county,. Ind., died Monday afternoon at 3:30 o ’clock. She had a stroke of paralysis one week ago Saturday and never regained consciousness. Mrs. Boyer was aged 78 years, 5 months and 13 days. The funeral was held, at Salem Thursday afternoon, interment being made in the Tricket cemetery. S. S. Buchanan of this town bad charge of the funeral arrangements. —Willshire Herald. That telephones and autombiles are “worldly” things and should be let strictly alone was the practically unanimous sentiment expressed at the annual convention of Old German Baptists, commonly known as Dunkards, when the subject came up for discussion yesterday. The response to a query regarding electric traction cars showed that the use of these vehicles is not considered impious, and members of the sect will feel at liberty to travel upon them hereafter. Before the close of the convention, the rite of foot washing was observed, all delegates participating in it. Feet were dried with the hair of their • washer’s heads. ;

A NEW COURT DECISION ✓ That Will Work Hardships on Township Trustees. A special from Evansville tells of a decision just handed down that will work a hardship on township trustees. It says: i “Judge Gilchrist in superior court, handed down a decision in the suit 1 of John Snellen and others agaist ; Township Trustee George Reinhardt, to the effect that the trustee has no authority under the statutes of the state to employ clerks, stenographers lawyers or other help and pay them ' out of the township funds. The decision went so far as to say that the trustee could not, and the township advisory board had no power to authorize any payment out of the township funds of bills for telephones for the trustee or for the justices the peace or for law books and office supplies for the justices or trustees. “The decision may be used to effect practically every township trustee in the state, r nearly o' o’, them pay a lawyer SIOO or more as a retainer fee and employ clerks and stenographers. The local trustee’s office had two clerks. The trustee can not pay these clerks except from his own pocket. “The suit brought here asked for an injunction against the township trustee and the advisory board prohibiting them from making the unlawful expenditures. The injunction was granted. The unlawful expenditures in this township, Pigeon, in which the city of Evansville is situated, amounted to $50,000 in the last sixteen years. The trustee has already discharged his clerks and lawyers and had the telephone taken out?” WAS named by d. e. smith And Nominated by Acclamation, His Opponent Withdrawing—Delegates Arrive Home. The Decatur and Adams county crowd who attended the state convention at. Indianapolis arrived home this morning tired, but happy. Judge Erwin’s smile today is the kind that shows he appreciates the high honor bestowed upon him. He is receiving congratulations upon every hand and his Decatur friends are indeed proud of him. His nomination, while it appeared easy, was never assured until the convention met, when B. C. Moon, of Kokomo, realizing his defeat, withdrew and Judge Erwin was named by acclamation. Hon. D. E. Smith of this city placed Judge Erwin in nomination, making a splendidly Democratic speech, which was well received by the delegates. After his nomination, Judge Erwin was called up for a speech and responded in a manner that set the Convention wild and marked him the favorite of the session. As he stepped upon the platform the remarks went over the big hall, “He looks like Bryan,” “He’s another Bryan,” etc. It was a great day for Judge Erwin and Adams county and everyone there enjoyed it. Call for Congressional Convention. The Democrats of the Eighth Congressional district of .Indiana will meet in delegate convention at Alexandria, Indiana, on June 28th, 1906, at 11:30 o’clock a. m., for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress for said district.

WILL BEGIN ON JULY FIRST Youngest Postmaster in State for City of This Size—Has Not Named His Deputy Yet. WASHINGTON, June 7.—The president sent to the senate today the nomination of M. A. Frisinger as postmaster at Decatur, Ind. This recommendation was not received exactly as a surprise, as it had been looked for by the knowing ones here for two weeks past. The appointee is Maynard Frisinger, better known here as Dyke and this honor comes to him through his father, John M. Frisinger, who has served as county chairman for several years, and to whom, no doubt, Congressman Cromer owes more favors than anyone in the district. He held the appointment in his hand, as it were, and easily transferred it to his son. Dyke is but twenty-three years old, and will be the yougest postmaster in the state for an office the size of Decatur. He has served as chief clerk in the office for four years and is popular. He attends to his business and his father’s political enemies like him. The recommendation will be approved by the senate as a matter, of course, and the commission wil! arrive wifhm :» few 'ays. Accompanying this will be the bond and the blanks necessary for the recommendation of a deputy. These will be properly signed and returned to Washington in time for the force to take charge of affairs by July first. Mr. Frisinger said this morning that he had not fully detrmined as to the deputy, but would make his appointment within a few days. Dyke’s position as clerk is a civil service appointment and that vacancy will be filled in the regular way. While Dyke is young, it is believed he will ably fill the position. It is certainly a fat plum for one of his years, the office paying the handsome salary of $2,300, annually, with chances of an increase soon. Mr. Brittson, who retires, has made a good postmaster. He has for years been a hustling, energetic citizen, and we regret that he and his estimable family are soon to leave Decatur, they having decided to locate at Midland, Michigan, where Mr. Brittson already has some interests. The appointment of Mr. Frisinger met with the usual approvals end disapprovals, when announced th- morning, but the big fight d>f oth- r years was avoided by the fact that it was up to John M. THE MODEL CHANGES HANDS H. A. Fristoe today sold his Model Billiard hall to W. H. Lindsley of Huntington, and the latter will take charge of the same Monday morning. Mr. Lindsey is an experieced man at the business, having conducted a similar place at Huntington for five years past. He will put in a complete line of cigars and tobaccos and will otherwise improve the room. Mr. Fristoe retires and has not decided what line of business he will enter, but will very probably find something soon. fs

GOOD AND BAD LUCK Sheriff Butler Had Both on a Trip Yesterday. Sheriff A. A. Butler, of Decatur, was in the city yesterday and while here followed up a stroke of good luck with one of bad luck. He was enroute home from Middlepoint 0., where he went to try to locate a horse which was stolen at Sturgis, Mich. He failed to find the object of his search, but instead discovered a horse which was stolen recently at Warren, Ind. He notified the Warren officers of his find and they took steps to recover the animal. Last evening Sheriff Butler stepped into the wash ronn at the Pennsylvania depot and laid his pocketbook down while he perfromed his ablut ons. He walked out of the place, leaving his wallet, and when he returned for it it was gone. The book contained no money, but in it were a check for $l5O, a cheek for SB, a note for $65 and some papers. The officer at onee took steps to stop payment on the ehecks and the other papers were of no value only to himself. He offers a reward for the return of the property to any Fort Wayne officer. —Ft. Wayne JournalGazette. FOR AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER Beat Clark Butcher With Steel “Knucks” —Indicted by the Grand Jury. Jim Johnson, wanted on a grand jury indictmet charging him with assault and battery with intent to kill, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Butler and placed in jail. He was released at midnight after his father, Levi Johiison had secured signers to a SSOO bond for Jim’s appearance in court on demand. On the evening of April 3rd last, Johnson, who is quite a scrapper, went to the home of Clark Butcher, in Kirkland township, accused him of saying things about his wife and gave him a terrible beating, using, it is alleged, a pair of stjeel “knucks.” Butcher’s scalp was pierced in ten different places and he was under the care of physician for several weeks. Johnson was indicted by the grand jruy a week later, but when the officers went after him, he had left the country. No great effort was made to land him, and he evidently thought the trouble had blown over for he dropped into town yesterday and visited his usual “haunts.” When picked up by Deputy Sheriff Butler, he objected vigororously on going to jail, but he went nevertheless. He will be tried at the September term. AN ALARMING SITUATION frequently results from neglect of clogged bowels and torpid liver, until constipation becomes chronic.
