Fred Reppert went to Chicago this morning to attend the International stock show. A small blaze broke out yesterday afternoon in the sheds owned by the Decatur Egg Case company but was soon under control and the damage done is very slight. It is thought that the fire originated from the sparks from a passing train. Dr. J. S. Coverdale will leave this . evening for Cardwell, Missouri, where he will visit for a short time with Mr. and Mrs. Clark Coverdale. Anyone ’ desiring the service of Dr. E. G. Cov- , erdale will get him by phone after , night, by calling the Burt Hotel. According to a recent ruling by the directors of the Pennsylvania railroad, , all ministers, after the first of the - year, will be required to pay a railroad fare of two cents a mile, instead of the old rate of a cent and a half. , It seems as though the company needs ; the money. . 1 Emanuel Woods of E. Woods & Co., of Decatur, and C, J. Lutz spent Tues- , day in the city looking after business affairs. Mr. Woods was the contractor for the sewerage system built in the city about eight years ago. His backer W .H. Niblick, met a tragic death only a few weeks ago by drowning himself. —Columbia City Post. 1 *- One lone minister in the 150 members of the house and senate during the next general assembly—so publishes forth to the world the second edition of the legislative directory that has just issued. It contains the name of only one minister, that of Oliver Carmichael of Muncie, who has been a member of the house before. The night police last evening picked up a pipe liner who was pretty well filled with booze and who was in a bad humor and showed fight with everyone. He was lodged in jail and this afternoon arraigned before Mayor Coffee, where he was given the usual dose A dollar and costs, which he paid and was discharged. He gave his name in as John Jones. • ;. ! Since the Standard-Oil pompany has ceased operation here,. the Erie railrpad has been making a harvest selling tickets to foreigners for different 1 joints along the line, ~1,25 pickets were told to Chicago, 50- sckets Jo Bradford! Pa., 22 tickets to Cumberland, Maryland, and fifteen tickets to New York city. Taken in all, the receipts tor tickets amounted to $1,200. Hurst and contractors, today received a contract from Rice & Boch to put up their new barn, which will be constructed from cement blocks instead of being a frame building covered with sheet iron. The blocks for the building will be furnished by the Decatur Cement Block & Roofing company. The barn will be up-to-date in every respect. According to a celebrated composer the popular song, though sneered at by the superior, is in reality the ant bition of most composers. Thousands of them, he says, “would give their ears to write a tune.that reached the barrel organs.” And when it has been on the organ some little time a good many other people would wish to dispose of their ears.—London Globe. The Decatur Produce Company are erecting a large, two-story ice house near their business t place in the south port of the city, and are getting ready for the ice harvest, that is due to arrive in a short time., They are doing thia so that they may be able to pack their poultry in ice for shipping purposes. The building is of modern, structure and will have a capacity for several thousands tons of ice. The Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the First Methodist Episcopal church will meet with Mrs. W. H. Gilpen, Thursday at 2*p. m . The following program will be given: Singing, devotionals, B. Swank; secretary report, Mrs. C. D. Lewton; paper, Porto Rico,” Mrs. J. C. Tritch; “The Ruths of Methodism in Porto Rico,” Mrs. 3.. R. Bell; business. Reception committee, Mesdames Miller, Heller and Gilpen. Revival meetings still going on in the Morrison building. Tuesday night’s meeting met with grand suc- ' cess. The hall was packed and great , interest shown. Sermon was delivered by Rev. D. B. Kessinger, pastor of the U. B. church, his text being taken from Job 21: 3, “Suffer'me that I may , speak, and after that I have spoken, , mock on.’’ His sermon was much apl predated by the entire audience. They ! sat spell-bound at the wonderful serj mon backed by the power of the Holy t Ghost, as he spoke so forcibly and ) brought them to remember that man 1 was created in the beginning for higher lives than to live the life of sin aiffl death. Everybody is invited to these services. — o—- ’ When the tip of a dog’s nose is cold ’ and moist, that dog is not sick. A ! feverish dry nose means sickness with ’ a dog.

I A MATRIMONIAL | BL’JNDER (frdgin*!.] A girl stood peeping through an opening made by a door standing slightly ajar. She soliloquized thus: “Kot very good looking. Nose very bad. Hair fine and glossy, but there’s not enough of it A little too tall apt! Blender." It was in the old city of Genoa, where many of the marriages are brought about by brokers. They keep a list of marriageable girls and their good points, such as accomplishments, beauty, fortunes, etc. The brokers arrange the marriage for the would be groom with the girl’s parents, and the couple are introduced afterward. Either party may recede after the introdue- > tion, but if the man wishes to do so he must pay the brokerage and expenses. Such an arrangement had been made for the union of Vittori Conci and Lucia Armodeo, apd the young lady, having made up her mind what course to pursue, opened the door and stepped Into the apartment where the gentleman awaited her. Ten minutes later Im left the house, and Signorina Armodeo joined her mother in the library. “I think,” said the daughter indecisively, “that I shall decline to fulfill the contract He is either very wise or very stupid, for he opened his eyes upon me—they are his only redeeming feature — but scarcely opened his mouth.” The front door creaked and her father entered. “It’s all off,” he said. “What de ydii mean?”-asked the daughter, starting. “I met Signor Conci on the doorstep, He declines to complete the contract He chose rather to pay all expenses. However, since you are duly seventeen, there is yet time.” ‘lndeed there is,” replied the daughter under her breath and with a dangerous glitter in her eye. Cine evening soon after this episode Vittori and Lucia met at a ball. “Good evening, signor,’’ she said. “1 am glad to meet you again. Because we do not marry there is no reason why we may not be friends,” and, slipping her hand within fils arm, she walked away with him. The orchestra was playing one of Straus'; delightful waltzes, and what could the. young -man do but propose that'they,should Aance? Then, when they had finished, the girl proposed that they should sit awhile in a recess and chat. He seemed embarrassed at first, but his companion put him at his eass. Indeed, before they parted he felt bold'enough to apologize for having refused to marry her, but his courage fortdok him and he stammered incoherently. “Don’t speak of that,” she said. "It Was presumptuous in me even to think of such a thing. You are so much brighter than I, so prominent socially; a marriage between us was not to be considered. Besides, there is too great a difference In our ages.’’je - “I am thirty,” he remarked, somewhat chopfallen. ■ “And I am only seventeen. Thirteen years is a great difference. I respect •Iderly men, but a chit like myself should not aspire to marry one of them.” Vittori went home feeling very uncomfortable. Lucia in hey ball dress had far mere to advantage than in home costume. He regretted his decision. But what troubled him most was to have been informed that he was 'jOilng into an age which young girls Consider old!One day Vittori met the broker who had made the contract for him. The man chided him for withdrawing. Vittori admitted thikt hO had made a mistake. “I’ll fix up a new contract,” said the broker. ,‘T’ll pay you another commission.” '“Done.” A few days later the broker notified Vittori that a new contract had been made with Armodeo for his daughter’s hand. Vittori was much pleased. He did not know how Lucia frit in the matter, but Italian girls were used to obeying their fathers. There would be no trouble. One day tie broker informed Vittori that all had been arranged and he might cal! upon Lucia as soon as he liked. He found Lucia arrayed in her most dainty visiting costume, with hat and gloves. “I am pleased to see you, Signor Conci, but I fear there has been a mistake. My father has Informed me that he bad made a new JSntract for us. This he has done without my consenL Yesterday I was eighteen and of age, coming into my fortune. I am sorry if you are disappointed. As I have told you, your gray hairs stand between us.” “My gray hairs!” said the astonished Vittori. “I was not aware that I had one!” “You must not be put to expense in this matter. Here is my check for the commission. Good evening. lam sorry that you have been put to unnecessary trouble. You must excuse ine. I am going eut.” The suitor tottered to the door and out into the air, which he sadly needed, •though it did not revive him. For a week he was on the verge of suicide, then settled down to a miserable existence. The next time he met Lucia she treated him so cordially—almost affectionately—that he plunged into a furnace of hope, but on a gecond meeting he was transferred to an icy pool of despair. After keeping him swinging between the two extremes for several years she cut him dead one day on the street. A man who has refused a woman had better afterward keep out of her Stay.

I. .. Indigestion 1 Stomach trouble is but a symptom of, and not n itself a true disease. We think of Dyspepsia. Heartburn, and Indigestion as real diseases, yet thsy are symptoms only .of a certain specific Nerve sickness—nothing else. It was this fact that first correctly lod Dr. Shoop n the creation of that now very popular Stomach ffemedy—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. Going direct o the stomach nerves, alone brought that success uid favor to Dr. 8ho&> aod fiis Restorative. WithHit that original and highly vital principle, no meh lasting accomplishments were ever to be had. For stomach distress, bloating, biHoutoess, bad Meath and sallow complexion, try Dr. Shoop’s ffestomtive—Tablets or Liquid—and see for your. mU what it can and will do. We sell and cheerfully recommend Dr. Shoop’s Restorative WM. H. NACHTRIEB.

As yet there is no clew to-the whereabouts of the prisoner. O ; If taken at the “sneeze stage” preventlcs —a toothsome candy tablet — will surely and quickly check an approaching cold or lagrippe. When you first catch cold —or feel it coming on—take Dr. Shoop’s Preventlcs, and the prompt effect will certainly surprise and please you. Preventlcs, surely supply the proverbial “ounce of pretention.” Sold in 5 cent and 25 cent boxes by W. H. NACHTRIEB. i ; The young woman in New York who threatened to put a “led pill” through another young woman «was held for the grand jury, perhaps because she couldn’t spell any better than the public printer. She should have waited until more besides herself and Brander Matthews had become fajniliar with the new cult. Catarrh of the HbSe ana throat should lead you to at least ask us for a . free tral box of Dr. Shoop’s Catarrh Cure. Nothing so surely proves merit e" | real, actual test--and Dr. Shoop, to prove this, earnestly desires that we let you make that test. This creamy, .snow white healing balm, soothes the throat and nostrils, and quickly purifies a foul or feverish breath. Call and investigate. W. H. NACHTRIEB. Melvin ; Smith, the Albidn high school youth who accidentally shot himself in the head two weeks ago Sunday, is making a remarkable recovery. The ball has not removed, because it is feared that an attempt to do so might prove fatal. The ball entered the center of the forehead, and examination has shown that it has gone backward and downward and toward the left. The doctors believe that unless something extraordinary develops, the boy will soon be well. To have beantlfnl, perfect, pink, vel-vet-like lips, apply at bedtime a light coating of Dr. Shoop’s Green Sajve. Then next morning, notice carefully the effect. Dry, cracked or colorless lips mean feverishness, and are as well ill appearing.
