There is hardly a married men, except editors, who does not carry in his pocket the picture of an attractive young woman who is not his wife.

With a lot of good teams in the field from all over the state, some system should be decided upon as to which team wins the state championship, playing all comers. The only correct way to determine this matter is to keep a per cent. column, each team having its merits rated by, the number of games won over those lost and no team being entitled to any championship honors just because it defeated some other individual team. Representative Edwards’ . bill to regulate the “in and out” fees of county sheriffs, was passed in the senate by a vote of 35 to 0. This measure provides that these fees shall go to the sheriffs and not to the county.. The question of who should have the benefit of the fees had never been fully determined. The in and out fee is the fee alowed to the sheriff for admitting prisoners to the jail and for releasing them. The fee is 25 cents each way. Engineer Batson is preparing specifications for fifteen bridges for which' appropriations have been made by the county council and their aggregate cost will be about $9,000. The bridge over the Wabash yrill not be built 'tfii'k yfefir as only SII,OOO was appropriated And a good bridge candot be built for that. There t are fifteen other'bridges to be built, ranging in cost from $250 to $1,000.— Bluffton News. . Throughout the rural districts, moving seems to be the most popular pastime just at this season. March,the first is usually the time when farms which have been sold, change bands, new" renters usually take pqssesftidn on the first bf March and for this reason so much mdvihg is being seen., Judging from the very large number of public sales that have been held this year, there has been much more than the usual amount of changing about. Both branches of the legislature have finally agreed on a bill fixing the salaries of county treasurers. The Greiger bill, passed by, the house, was amended in many ways by the senate, and the house refused to concur in the changes. A conference committee undertook to straighten out the difficulties and its report was adopted by both the house and senate yesterday morning. The bill is now ready to be sent to the governor. The conference report raises the salary of Adams county’s treasurer from $2,200 to $2,300. May 4, 1881, he was united in marriage with Miss Dollie Fairchild o; Willshire. One child, a son, was born of this union, who with the faithful wife, the aged parents, two brothers and many others less closely related, beside a’ 'multitude of friends will treasure the memory of the. departed, and will be inspired to bear more patiently the sufferings . that in time come to us all, from the recollection 6t his' patient fortitude. Deceased was a son of the venerable Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wechter, who live one and one-half miles southwest of Willshire. The funeral services Wert held Sunday morning from the M. E. church at Willshire, Rev. Hoffman officiating, assisted by Rev. Betts and Rev. 'Delk.' Their effect was: To require that notice be given nOn-residents by publication instead of by letter; to make a ditch lien a first Hen; limiting the compensation of superintendent on any ditch to $120; and to make the bill supplemental in order that it not repeal any of the other bills passed. These were adopted by a party vote, after some wrangling. Then several minority members kicked, saying they had not understood the amendments. Mr. s Eschbach of Warsaw, to prove his statement that he was the fairest man in the house, said he was willing that the bill be made a special order for 10 a. m. today, when the amendments could be considered all over again. However, there was no change when the bill came up again. The horse saie Friday promises to be a hummer and will far surpass any of the former sale held by the Decatur Horse Sale company. There is already stabled at their barns sevening horses ever seen in Decatur and those are in the market to purchase a good horse should be in attendance and bid until they ‘ secure, what they want ’ j*

The cigarette output of 4,368,729,013 1 in the calendar year of 1906 must ’ have come as a surprise to the bulk 5 of the trade, but more stunning yet 5 is its increase in one year of 842,240,- ’ 452, an increase by nearly 300,000,000 1 larger than the increase of our cigar ' industry during the same year.—United States Tobacco Journal. This item tells less than half of the cigarette > business, for it cannot begin to take any account of the countless millions of coffin nails rolled by their users. Every man who encourages this business is paving the way to sin, sickness, insanity, prison, and death for numberless, boye yet unborn and it 1 is time to-take a sensible view of the 1 matten. Tobacco is not contributing 1 to a high moral or intellectual stand--5 ard and it is detracting therefrom. ’ Cut it out. When the friend you are calling on ’ in the evening offers you a cigar, and } you light it and discover at the first i puff that it is made up of equal parts I of cabbage and oakum, it is no longer j correct to tell him it is one of the j best you- have ever smoked. Instead of this, first throw it opt Os the wlnj dow calmly before his face and then throw him after it. Unless his qature is too hardened, he will understand j and treat you better next time. Mark Twain tell this tetory ,the t moral of which you may supply your- . pelf : -“I went to church one time and ; was so impressed by what the preach- » er told n)e pbout the poor heathen t that I was ready to give up a hundred > dollars of my own money and even go t out and borrow more to send to the j heathen. But the minister preached t too long and my enthusiasm began to . drop about $25 a drop till there was . nothing left for the poor heathen and > by the time he was through and the . collection was taken up I stole ten ■ cents off the plate.” I The hero of the barnstorming ag- ! gregation was strong in physique, but 1 weak of voice. The appeals of a frantic audience for a louder interpretation of the part had no effect, according to the Buffalo Times. It had come to that part in the proceedings 1 where the heroine, at midnight, faintly rings a cowbell, to awaken her imprisoned lover. The hero regains his freedom, and quickly plans to escape with his sweetheart. “But what shall I do with this bell ?” she asks, appealingly. “Pull the tongue out,” screeches a voice in the last row, i. -“and give it to yqur Godfrey Vandelveigki” j; /-.

|FfLLeR FACTORY 1 OWTfTE HUSTt? Running Day and Night—Other Factories Gutting Ready for the Biggest Year in History. The Furnace factory that has been under construction for several months will soon be ready for business. All the machinery has arrived and been placed in position ready for installation. The pattern room and machinery department are equipped and ready for business, and as soon as the motors arrive, which will be within two weeks, the factory will start work. In the moulding room the men are busily engaged lining the furnace and after this is done this part of the new factory will be complete. When running at full blast the Furnace’factory will employ about fifty men and the weekly pay roll will rub the SSOO mark pretty close. The Buckeye Whip Stock Co., which moved to this city from Van Wert, early this year and located in the Lynch addition, is a concern well worthy of mention. At this place whip stocks are manufactured from timber and prepared ready for the lash before leaving the factory. There is a large demand for these stocks, especially in the western states and we are informed by A. M. York, the manager, that he is six months behind on orders. Ten men are employed here, with a large weekly pay roll and this new Industry, while yet on a small scale, is a great benefit to our city. This is absolutely the only factory of the kind in Indiana. a The Decatur Filler factory is at present running day and night to meet the large demands for their goods. The services of twenty men and seventeen girls are" required to operate the plant. The weekly pay roll of this factory and the Heading factory included, exceeds SSOO. The Heading factory employs 50 men. ,\The Krick & Tyndall tile mill is |n full operation, and in fact, has been all fe winter, employing from 30'to 50 men all the time. The pay roll of this concern aggregates about S4OO per week, and is certainly an industry of consequence. , .m . M At the Van Camp Machine &’Foundry Works 18 men are given employment and the weekly pay roll is about, $250, This concern manufactures articles that are in great de-' mand, and the men are kept busy filling orders that are received dally. The. Julius Haugk stone quarry will be in operation next month, and Mr. Haugk states that he will employ a large foree of men if he can get them. If anyone tells you that he can’t find employment in Decatur with all the above enterprises existing here, he is not making an effort to find it The future for Decatur looks better .today than ever before, and let every citizen put forth an effort to advance the interests of our little city, by encouraging the movements on foot to locate new factories here. o—

Charles D. Murray last evening closed the contracts for the building of the new Murray hotel, work on which will be begun by April first, and all complete by July Ist. The entire structure is to be rebuilt with brick, a third story added and a large veranda built extending over the sidewalk to the curb the entire distance along the east side and thirty feet on the south side. The new hotel will be 130x44 feet in dimension, three stories high and will 'Contain seventy rooms, including ten rooms bath, and making it one of the most commodious and attractive hotels in this part of the country. The interior will be entirely re-arranged for the convenience of the ; traveling public. The office will be enlarged and Rebuilt in a modern way, a tile! floor added and the entire house is to be refurnished in a most home-like and attractive way. The contracts were awarded as follows: Carpenter work, Linn & Patten; brick , work, ■' John Bollinger; concrete work, Samuel Butler. The material for the new structure was ordered today and the real work is to begin April Ist as stated. A veneer wall is to be built about the frame now standing, while the third story will be brick. Modern toilet rooms will be built on each floor, in fact everything necessary to make the hotel a modern one will be found in the New Murray. During the next few months, new brick pavements will be built on Madison and Third streets and Mr. Murray will illuminate his section of the city with a dazzling display of electric lights, both inside and out of the building. The Murray corner will undoubtedly be the most attractive looking place in the city and shows the proprietors’ enterprise. The Murray is well located and with the big increase ,in the business of Decatur this year should enjoy a splendid patronage. The new hotel will open for business July Ist, though Mr. Murray will continue to care for the trade in the meantime, the improvements not interfering In any way. Rates at the New Murray will be $2.00 and $2.50,

THt TWa CENT RAH.ROAD-FARE Annual Examination of Private Banks —Public Depository—Other Laws Good and Bad The pure food bill to prevent the manufacture and sale of adulterated or misbranded foodstuffs, is similar to the national pure food law. An appropriation of is made to the State board of health to enforce the provisions of the act. The “blind tiger” act prohibits the selling of liquor without a license and paves the way for convictions for violations of its provisions. It is aimed at liquor selling drug stores, clubs, quart shops and establishments having no legal standing. This law is now in effect. Annual examinations of the private banks of Indiana are made compulsory by the banking act and in addition to these the auditor of state may make as many subsequent examinations of any bank as he may see fit. Such a law is calculated to protect depositors. The 2- cent fare act makes 2 cents the maximum charge that may be made a mile by steam roads when tickets are bought. If cash is paid on 1 trains, the conductor must charge an additional one-half cent a mile, but this excess shall be covered by a rebate slip, redeemable at any office of the carrier at any time. The railroad commission bill reinforces the act of two years ago, by which the railroad commission was created. Broad powers are given tfie commissioners in the matter of fixing rates on its own initiative. This, per-., haps, is the striking feature of the bill. The measure also makes en-s forceable the rules and orders of the commission, •• , The /public depository act appHes to all counties and to all funds, including those of the‘township, ■ towa, .city, school town and-school city,i county and state. Boards of finance are created in each corporation to have the custody of funds and 'to place them on deposit to yield interest of at least 2 per cent on dally balances, of per cent on- semi-annual time deposits and of 3 per cent on annual time deposits.- 1 - ’ The primary election act Is mandatory in Marion, Vanderburg, Vigo and Allen counties and optional In the other counties of the state. Under Its provisions nominees for township, city, county,' judicial and legislative offices shall be selected direct prb marles under official control just as other elections are conducted. Exceptions are made of state and congressional offices and of legislative offices, where the district comprises more than one county.

With the adjournment of the legislature, whidi marked the final collapse of both the Purdue and Indiana university medical college propositions, is heard a well-defined rumor that a compromise proposition is under consideration by the warring educational factions, which, if adopted, would give neither Purdue nor Indiana that for which both have been contending, but which would advance the cause of medical education in Indiana and lay the foundation for a strong school of medicine. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, is elated over the action of the legislature in enacting into laws the numerous bills that were designed to protect the health of the people of the state. Every important measure that' was proposed by the state board of health was passed and Dr. Hurty explains that it means much to the health of the state. In speaking of the work of the session of the General Assembly just closed, Dr. Hurty said: “Health boards, health officers and all Uiose who are interested in protecting the . people against preventable diseases, will be wel Isatisfied with the public health legislation passed by the Sixty- 1 fifth General Assembly.” —o I NATHANIEL ROBISON IS DEAD ] Well Known Citizen of Monroe Town- 1
