Lindsley, of this place, who resided in Huntington for many years, died Friday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Hurst, in Dowagiac, Michigan. He lived in' Huntington, Indiana, for about 75 years until a few months ago, when his wife died. Since her death the deceased has been living with his children and although he was not afflicted with any particular disease, it was generally known that his life would not be prolonged many months, owing to the fact that he had reached his ninetieth milestone and his constitution was growing extremely weak. Mrs. Lindsley was at his bedside when the grim reaper took his spirit to the great beyond and she conveyed the news to this city this morning. Many relatives beside a host of friends, share in this hour of bereavement. "TO KEEP WELL The whole year through,” writes L. A.

Invitations Are Out for the Big Annual Event, Invitations have just been issued for the sixth annual reunion of the Barkley family to be held at Steele’s park, September 18th. Those who have witnessed these events know the happiness and /pleasure derived by every member of this big family. John A. Barkley is president of the association and U. S. Cress is secretary. They meet each year at Steele’s park and the Barkley’s who attend number several hundred. , John Mayer, who has worked at the printer’s trade here for fifteen years, sold his property last evening and will leave in a few days for Kendallville, where he has accepted a position on the Sun, where his son Fred I is city editor. A peculiar situation presents itself in the case of Harry T. Mote, the big booster from Bartlettsville, who was declared insane and locked in jail a few days ago. Mote, who was formerly a Montpelier barber, is no longer a resident of this state and consequently cannot be admitted to the asylum. However, he is a member of the K. of P. and Red Men’s lodges and these societies have interested themselves in behalf of an unfortunate brother and will probably send him to a private sanitarium I for treatment.

HIS ASSASSIN IS ON TRIAL Joseph Schulte, the Murderer, Will Soon Know His Fate—First Witness Called. Joseph Schulte, who murdered Alton (Scotty) Cameron, January 27th last in a Detroit saloon, is now on trial for his life. The case is being tried before Judge Hosmer, of the circuit court. Ordinarily such cases in Detroit are tried in the Recorders’ court, but Judge Connolly, of that court, being a brother-in-law of Cameron’s, a change was necessary. The case began Thursday morning, but a jury was not secured until Friday noon, and the first witness, Warren Coyle was immediately called. Coyle, who lives at 1822 St. Aubin street, said that he went into Wells’ saloon at 7:15 p. m. and that “Scotty” Cameron, the murdered man, came in a few minutes later. “He went to the bar,” said Coyle, and said, ‘Come on, boys, let’s haveia drink.’ He seemed to be feeling frisky as he took off his coat, shuffled his feet on the floor, went to the stove and rattled the top and pushed Anthonk Schneider’s hat down over his face. He went to the bar to get a beer that was waiting for him. Schulte got out the revolver and leveled it at Cameron and said: “ “See here, Scotty, you’ll have to cut this out; I won’t stand for it.’ “Cameron looked down the barrel of the gun and said, ‘I aint’t afraid of that.’ Cameron then moved along to where his beer was and Schulte followed. When Cameron stopped, Schulte also stopped, and without a word leveled the gun at Cameron’s heart and fired. Cameron grasped at his heart, reeled and then went on a crazy run out of the saloon. Jess Cole and I followed and caught him as he fell. I don’t believe that Cameron was drunk. I think that he was only putting it on, as I have often seen him act drunk.” In order to rush the case through so that the jurors need not be locked up any longer than necessary, Judge Hosmer will hold court late each afterpoon and will hold a Saturday afternoon session. The prosecution has about eight witnesses, while the defense will have that many, if not more, Many of the defnse’s witnesses will be to show Schulte’s previous good reputation. “No brainstorm or new fangled defense of that kind will be ottered in this case. It is the plain story of a plain man, with no dramatic features, no sensations and no attempt to prove temporarily insanity.” Frank Simmons, wha was with WaL ter Drake is defending Schulte, made this statement Thursday afternoon in answer to Juror Harry D. Kittle, 97 Charlotte avenue, who declared that he had prejudices against certain kinds of defenses, especially temporary insanity and brain storms, and that he couldn’t try the case in a fair-minded manner if either of these was to be set up as a defense. o Did Great Work; Originated the Blue Ribbon Pledge—Held Services In this City. Los Angeles, Cal., June 30. —Francis Murphy, the temperance lecturer, died at 10:30 a. m., today. Pittsburg, June 30.—Francis Murphy first came into prominence as a temperance advocate in this city in 1876. Under his leadership a “blue ribbon” propaganda resulted in thousands of men signing the “Murphy pledge,” and attracting national attention. Fifteen meetings were held in library hall following which a call for funds was made to carry on the campaign in other cities. In a few minutes prominent and wealthy men, who had become followers of Mr. Murphy, subscribed $15,000 subsequently meetings were held throughout the United States. This famous temperance worker lived in Indiana for several years and conducted his meetings in practically every county of the state. He held services in Decatur and many signed the pledge. His temperance work over the United States was perhaps the most successful of any one man of the nineteenth centruy. ——* -O'" " -■■■ VISITS OKLAHOMA CITY. Judge Erwin in the Great State of Oklahoma. Judge Richard K. Erwin, of Decatur, Ind., is spending a few days in the city, on a tour of the proposed state. Judge Erwin occupies the bench in the Twenty-Sixth judicial district of the Hopsier state. “You have a great young town in a great young commonwealth,” said Judge Erwin, “and the thing *that strikes me most favorably is the fact that you are building your proposed state government on the broad and living principles of Simon pure democracy.”—Daily Oklahoman.

The bride wore a very be- ’ coming gown of silk, while she carried 1 a beautiful bunch of brides roses. Immediately after the ceremony the > guests were ushered into the dining 1 room where a delicious two-course lun- ’ cheon was served. Roses and carna--1 tions were the pleasing decorations ! jf the dining table. The couple left ’ for the north and before returning 1 home they will go to Canada for a L short stay.

Mr. and Mrs. Glancy will make their future home in Decatur. -J z Sunday night at the ’ Presbyterian church occurred the children’s day program consisting of a drill in which over fifty children took part, and solos, Lord’s prayer by the infant class and address on nature by Rev. Alfred Fowler were given. The program closed with.a song entitled, “We all can be Sunbeams.” Mr. and Mrs. Mark Jahn delightfully entertained a number of their friends yesterday at their country home, southwest of the city at dinner and a most enjoyable day was spent. Those who took part in the festivities were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Zimmerman, Mr. and Mrs. Kloppenstine, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bentz, Miss Mollie Pierce, of Bluffton, Misses Blanch and Viola Yager, of Berne, Miss Hoffman, of Linn Grove and J. R. Zimmerman, of Marlon, Ind. . _ A very delightful Sunday dinner was given by the relatives of Mrs. Forester Andrews, of Washington township, the event being her thirty-ninth birth, day anniversary. They took well filled baskets and the surprise on Mrs. Andrews was a success in every respect. When the noon hour arrived all vere invited to sit down to a table laden with the choicest viands of the season and to say the least, all did justice to the same. Mrs. Andrews is the oldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Rainier of this city. After dinner the afternoon was spent in music and a social good time was had by all present. Mrs. Andrews was the recipient of a number of beautiful presents. Those present were Dr. and Mrs. Rain, ier and grandson Master Vane Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Dibble and daughter Blanch, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Porter and son Chalmer, Mrs. Agnes Andrews and two daughters Cecil and Celia, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Reinier and sons Robert and Byron, all of this city. Those present from a distance were Mrs. Sarah Williams and Mrs. , Dr. J. L. Williams, of Indianapolis. At a late hour the guests departed for their homes wishing Mrs. Andrews many more such happy events. —<. o WHEAT GOES UP AGAIN. Wheat took a sudden jump yesterday from 87 to 90 cents a bushel, on the local market. It is one of those sudden flurries that often occur, but | is rather hard to account for. Returns from the southwest show that the crop is not as heavy as has been expected. The harvesting and threshing season is now on in the southwest and papers tell of lots of rain in that locality. This condition has delayed the threshing of the wheat crop ( and may in part account for the sudden and unexpected jump in wheat.

Engines and equipment, including the sanitary condition of cars, must also be inspected.

Sunday was memorial day for the K. P. lodge in Decatur, and it was observed in an ideal way. The members assembled at their hall and left promptly at two o’clock for the ceme. tery, where the services were begun by an opening address by Rev. D. B. Kessinger. The address was quite impressive, and tended to show the good that has been accomplished by this order and how it has taken care of its members who have been unfortunate, being afflicted or who have answered the call of death. The male quartette composed of Messrs. Dan Beery, J. C. Patterson, Walter Johnson and A. Van Camp then followed with that beautiful and appropriate hymn “Rock of Ages.” After this selection the graves of thirteen of the K. P. brothers who have been called by the grim angel of death,were decorated with beautiful flowers, after which the quartette sang “We are going down the Valley.” The entire congregation sang “Nearer My God to Thee,” and the services were closed by.a prayer by Dr. C. B. Wilcox. A committee that was appointed a few days ago, decorated graves at Geneva, Salem and Rivarre. Said by the Observer. Clever women are always greatlyadmired, but the silly ones get married.
