WILL RESIDE IN DENVER, COL. Miss Madge Hite of this City and Mr. Scott, of Denver, Were Married Last Evening. Wednesday night at 9 o’clock at the Presbyterian parsonage, Miss Marguerite Hite and Mr. Harry Scott were united in marriage, Rev. Alfred Fowley officiating and no one being present at the ceremony except Mrs. Hugh D. Hite, a sister in law of the bride. The wedding came as a surprise to their relatives and friends, who had not the slightest idea that they intended to get married, and when they announced the fact the relatives at first could hardly believe them, thinking they were merely jesting. That the young people were engaged was a well known fact, and no objections had been raised on either side, still the date had never been fixed and every one expected the event to occur some time next fall. Mr. Scott, the groom, who at present is located in Colorado, where he is employed as an operator, returned a few days ago, and after visiting a short time with his parents at Algiers, Ohio, came to this city, presumably upon a visit. The young people were seen together quite often and undoubtedly upon these occasions planned their marriage without an inkling of ftitention. Mr. Scott quietly secured a marriage license yesterday afternoon and last evening called at the Hite residence and the young couple immediately left the house, saying that they would attend the show. Instead of doing this they repaired to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hite and after telling Mrs. Hite of their intention, induced' her to accompany them to the parsonage, where Rev. Fowler united them in marriage. After the ceremony they returned to the bride’s home and informed the relatives of what had transpired and immediately left on the Erie train for Chicago, where they will spend their honeymoon. Miss Hite is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hite, she being a charming young lady with many winning ways, and is held in high esteem by her friends, who are innumerable. The groom, who is a native of Ohio, and who for several years was located at Wren, 0., where he acted in the capacity of operator for the Erie road, is well known in our city and has many friends here. He is a hustling young man of good repute, coming from one of the best families in Ohio/ and is held in high esteem by his employers. The young couple will return to this city in a few days, make a short visit and will then leave for Denver, Colorado, where they will make their future hqme.

POLISHED RICE IS UNHEALTHY Department of Agriculture Rules Against the Sale of It. Lovers of rice in all the various shapes in which it is served are interested in the ruling of the department of agriculture that polishing rice' is a violation of the pure food law and that it must be either abandoned in the future or the polished rice must be labeled so as to show what it is coated with. As a matter of fact, unpolished rice—that is, the rice upon which the inner hull has been left, is much more ■ healthful and nutritious than that which has been covered with a coating of paraffin, glucose, starch and talc to bring it to the whiteness which fashion demands. The polishing process has been defended on the ground that it preserves rice from attacks by the wevils. The department of agriculture denies this strenuously and forbids the practice in the future as putting into the rice unhealthful materials. The decision will be a great relief ■to the rice farmers find add to their profits that of the considerable sum which heretofore has been expended in polishing and coating the grain. —o — A GUAHANTFED CURB FOR FULKS.

The ladies of the Presbyterian church of this city have originated a business scheme, whereby they expect to earn a goodly sum in a manner in which they should be assisted by every citizen in Decatur. They have arranged for the sale of waste paper in wholesale lots to a big paper mill and will immediatey begin the work of securing their first carload. They can use old newspapers, magazines, paste board boxes, in fact anything that contains paper. About every

home and business house, waste paper constantly accumulates and here is an opportunity to turn it to a good advantage. If you have anything of this kind and will send word to Mrs. Charles Dicer or to any other of the Presbyterian ladies, they will arrange to secure it. Members of the church are requested to tie the paper up in neat bundles, so same can be easily handled, and to send word at once. The ladies are to be commended for their hustle and originality in their scheme and certainly deserve to succeed. Details as to the place of storage and where to send your old papers will be given in a few days. In the meantime get them ready and thus help the noble ladies in a worthy cause and in away which causes you no expense and but little trouble.

BUT THE GOVERNMENT PAYS IT Equals just About a Dollar a Mile— Guess That’s Traveling Some— How It Was Spent. President Roosevelt’s trip to Indianapolis last week cost about $1,500 and covered 1,471 miles. He is taxed SSO a day flat for the use of the car, besides he paid eighteen regular fares at an approximate cost of S4O a fare. This includes the fares also of his attendants and servants. The cost of the food eaten by the party on the car is extra. It is interesting to know that the president does not have to foot his bill out of his salary of $50,I 000 a year as chief executive. In the last congress Representative James E. Watson, of Indiana, introduced and got through a bill appropriating $25,000 annually to pay the president’s traveling expenses if so much be necessary. The money is to be paid out without vouchers on the. president’s order. If the total amount of $25,000 is not expended in any way I the balance reverts to the government treasury. In former days the railroads furnished the presidents of I the United tSates special trains ad libitum free of cost. They were glad to do this for the advertising it brought to them. President Roosevelt thought it was wrong in principle and beneath the dignity of a great government like that of the United States to accept such favors and it was at his instigation that Mr. i Watson introduced the bill giving him a traveling allowance. i o—< EIGHT TONS OF CASTING DAILY Thirty-Five Experts Now Employed and the Concern is Growing Rapidly. The Decatur Furnace factory is rapidly developing into one of the busiest industries in this section. Recently a deal was closed whereby they se- ■ cured a contract from the Bass foun- | dry of Ft. Wayne for castings amounting to eight tons per day. This with their other special contracts and their daily output of the best furnace on earth will test fully the capacity of the plant. Such a record within ■ a few weeks after the opening of the plant is certainly an enviable one, and i bespeaks for Mr. Daugherty and this new plant a great future. Arrangements for taking care of more business will be made at once and a few , years of such bustle and success will make the Decatur Furnace factory one of the biggest and best to be found anywhere. Yesterday’s new order necessitated the employment of fifteen expert mechanics, molders and foundrymen at once and Manager DaughI erty was fairly burning up the wires | last night with his messages for laborers. This will give the factory a pay roll of thirty-five men, all experts and all receiving the top notch salaries. Decatur certainly made no mistake in landing this concern. Orders for furnaces are arriving each day. Watch them grow. JUNE FOURTEENTH IS FLAG DAY 1 It Represents the 130th Anniversary | of Adoption of Stars and Stripes. ’ i The American Flag Association is reminding the American public that Friday, June 14, will be flag day, the 1 130th anniversary of the adoption of the stars and stripes as the flag of ; the United States. The flag association makes this appeal to the public in behalf of a patriotic observance of the day: i “We respectively appeal the gov--1 ernors of all the states of our land, - and the mayor of each city to herald the coming of the day in 1 1907, by proclamation; we call upon s every public officer, every teacher of r the youth of our land, the editors of 1 all newspapers, the daily instructors i of the youth of our land to call public F attention, to arouse enthusiasm and >, to provide for public exercises and j general celebration of the day. y “We earnestly exhort our citizens

to join in making flag day .an event and its celebration in 1907, a great event. Let us, from one end of our land to the other fling the stars and stripes to the breeze on June 14, 1907.

A deal was consummated Thursday in which Amos and Frank Prover became the owners of the restaurant that has been owned and conducted by Fred Eichenberger for the past thirteen months. This deal has been hanging fire for several days, but not until last night did they come to a definite agreement. The senior member of the new firm, Amos Prover, has been conductor on the Ft. Wqyne and Springfield Interurban railway for the past eight months, during which time he has resided in this city. He has made many friends while here, and his popularity will no doubt be of benefit to him in this business venture. The restaurant will be conducted in an up to date manner, and he will without doubt get his share of the patronage. Mr. Eichenberger will not state what business he will engage in, ’But he will remain in. Decatur for the present at least. o In reversing an important liquor de- ; cision today the supreme court held I that a saloon keeper who sells liquor to a minor cannot be prosecuted on charge of giving liquor away. It is said that the decision makes thousands of wrongful convictions through out the state. i ' o BADLY mixed up. Abraham Brown, of Winterton, N. Y., had avery remarkable experience; he says: “Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one said heart disease; two called it kidney trouble; the fourth, ■ blood poison, and the fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of them helped me; so my wife advised trying Electric Bitters, which are restoring me to perfect halth. One bottle did me more good than all the five doctors prescribed.’’ Guaranteed for blood poison, weakness and all stomach, liver and kidney complaints, by Blackburn, druggist, 50c.

TEDDY IS A WISE POLITICIAN Makes Another Smooth Deal—lndiana Editors Enroute to Jamestown Exposition. Washington, D. C., June 6. —The postoffice at Currysville, Wells county, will be discontinued on June 29, and be superseded by rural delivery service. Poiticlans have begun to realize that the president has made another important political ifiove by appointing John G- Capers, of South Carolina, commissioner of internal revenue ad interim. Capers, who is supposed to be the most influential Republican politician in the Carolinas, was not quite sure where he would stand on the presidential question until he got this federal appointment It is arranged that he shall serve until about the first of next January, and then Pearl Wight, of Louisiana, another man who is supposed to wield large political influence in the South, will take the job. Thus the president gets for the government the services of two capable southern men within a year and also gets their services* in politics. Indiana editors on their way to the meeting of the national editorial association at the Jamestown exposition, next week, continue to arrive here. Harry Strohm, of the Newton county Enterprise, Kentland, came in today. The state will have ten or twelve delegates at the meeting. Last year Indianapolis entertained the association. W. H. Griffin, of the United States geological survey, has gone to Bloomington to start topographic work on the Bloomingtn quadrangle. On the completion of this work, which will be before the field season closes, Mr. Griffin will begin work on the Saline quadrangle; He will be assisted by level men and rod men from Indiana.

The president issued instructions today that a man shall not be excluded from the national guard because he happens to be in the employ of the government. Recently the question came up as to whether a government employe could be relieved of duty when his services were required as a member of a national guard organization. The president holds that the first duty of an employe of the government is to the military organizateion to which he belongs, and that he may leave his government work for drills; etc. Indirectly, the ruliifg has a bearing on the question as to whether private employers of men can prevent them from attending drills, camps of instruction, etc., of military companies of which they are members. The president has taken a conservative position on the question of prosecuting E. H. Harriman and on the question as to whether the government shall bring suit to set aside some of the Harriman railroad mergers. He said to callers today that it would be better for the government not to take any steps in the courts than to institute proceedings and fail to win. Tomorrow afternoon there will be another general conference at the White House in which members of the cabinet, the interstate commerce commission and the attorneys for the interstate commerce commission will participate for the purpose of attempting to reach a decision as to whether there shall be any legal proceedings in the Harriman cases. This conference will also discuss the advisability of the government proceedings against the alleged combination of coal carrying railroads. o FINDING HOMES FOR CHILDREN Family of John Scholl the Blind Man, Is Scattered.

Woodburn, Ind., June 7.—Columbus Cray, town marshal here, was shot and almost instantly killed at about on* <■ o’clock this morning while making a< effort to arrest three men who were burglarizing the Joe Falkner saloon. A lady who lived near the saloon saw the burglars and telephoned Falkner, who in turn called up the marshal.-. The latter immediately hastened to the Falkner place expecting to make a rich haul. As he entered the side door, one of the burglars fired, the bullet piercing Cray’s heart. He ran about forty feet and fell dead. The burglars immediately fled and no trace of them has been found, though citizens here and officers of neighboring towns and cities have made a thorough search. They secured a few dollars from the money drawer. SAFETY DEPOSIT VAULTS ADDED Old Adams County Bank Makes Another Improvement. The new safety deposit vaults were U placed in the Old Adams County bank yesterday and can now be seen by any one so desiring and with this new acquisition, this banking institution is now complete in every respect.

The bank is endeavoring to meet the demands of their patrons in every way, and with this latest addi- p tion are confident that they have one of the best equipped banking establishments in the state. o NEARLY LOST VALUABLE HORBE Chauncey Brokaw Had a Rather Odd Experience. Chauncey Brokaw, a well known '■ farmer of north of the city, came near losing avaluable horse Wednesday, and the fact that hed idn’t is one ofj > those lucky miracles which cannot be explained. He was driving west on Madison street near the Hub clothing store. At this point the men who are preparing the foundation for the new brick pavement had dug a six foot ditch to tap the water main, having just room for a rig to pass between. As Mr. Brokaw’s horse reached this point, it shied off and fell into the ditch on the other side. After siderable effort the animal was extricated and an examination proved it to be unharmed with the exception of a few slight bruises. 1 ' O' -■ ' ' ■ FORMER GENEVA MAN DEAD ♦ A young man with papers in his pocket that indicate that he is Thomas * Ingle, of Terre Haute, or Robinson, 111., was found dead in a room in the Hoosier Hotel in Louisiana street, opposite the east end of the union star tion shortly before noon, Saturday. ,j There was some evidence that he had killed himself, although a post mortem will have to be held, to determine the exact cause of death. Ingle was well dressed, wore a gold watch and chain and had a large amount of cheap jewelry. He had over sl3 in his pocket when he was found. j| : Bicyclemen Hall and Dodemacher' who were sent to the place to investigate, learned that Ingle had been drinking heavily for several days. The young man was about the hotel until 11:30 o’clock Friday night when he went to his room. He was not seen \ alive again. A maid employed in the hotel noticed that the lights were burning in bls room Saturday and when the door was unlocked Ingle was found dead across his bed. The condition of the body indicated that death occurred several hours before the body was found. There was a small vial half filled with chlora in the room and the police thought he might have killed himself with the drug. Dr. Wagner J of the dispensary staff, took the body to the city morgue—lndianapolis News. Young Ingle’s home is at Rockford. He worked at the barber trade at Geneva several years ar.l wag known here.
