NO DAMAGE DONE The Homes of Charles Miller and Dr. Coverdale on Fire. / Decatur was visited by two fires Sunday, but fortunately neither did any material damage and the loss at both places was very slight. The first alarm was given at nine o’clock in the morning, when it was thought that the residence of Charles Miller on Seventh street was on fire, but this proved false, although a small blaze was discovered in a basket of clothes which sat near the stove and had smoldered to such a degree that the house was filled with smoke. The fire was discovered by one of Mr. Miller’s sons, who immediately became frightened and turned in an alarm when a bucket of water would have done the work easily. Some of the nearby neighbors put the biaze out long before *the fire company reached the scene. The second alarm was sounded about four o'clock in the 'afternoon, when a small blaze was discovered at the residence of Dr. J. S. Coverdale on south Third street. The fire originated near a chimney on the root and a few buckets of water soon extinguished the blaze, and all damage was past. This makes three fires within three days, and two were results of defective chimneys. o Mr. and Mrs. George Gentis and family pleasantly entertained at dinner on Sunday the Mrs. Henry Gentis and son, Misses Ella Neusbaum and Lenna Adler, of Linn Grove, Mrs. Joel Liddy and two daughters, Mrs. Henry Sprunger and son, Mrs. Ed Schlagenhauf and two daughters, of Berne. Why do not the motion picture theaters give scenes that apply to this country? Nine out of every ten of them depict scenes in the streets of France or Germany, as can easily be discerned by the wording on the street corners, on the windows and in the costumes of the people. Are American scenes not made in this country or what, is a question that has puzzled a! good many people. Os course too much cannot be expected for a nickel.

LEFT A MONTH AGO Since That Time Nothing Has Been Heard of Him. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gates, of Toledo, Ohio, were in our city Monday in consultation with the police endeavoring to locate a young man going by the name of either Fred Gates or Fred Ricard, who is a brother of the above named Albert Gates. It seems that when the lad was but three years old his parents died and the boy was adopted by a family by the name of Ricard, living close to Fort Jennings Ohio, an dthat he continued to live with that family up until about a month ago, when he left saying he was going to Delphos to accept a position and since that time his adopted parents have not heard from him. Young* Gates or Ricard was traced as far as this c-ty by the above named couple and while here worked for Julius Haugk at the stone quarry, leaving here something like two or three weeks ago, but where he went they seem unable to ascertain. The lad at this time is eighteen years of age, being about six feet tall, and weighing something like 175 pounds, being dark complected and is not aware of the fact that he has a relative living. He is wanted badly at Toledo by lawyers, who has his estate under control and has something like two thousand dollars awaiting him at that place, which is due from the government to him as pension money. He has three brothers and one sister living and they have not seen the young man since the family was broken up immediately after their parents demise. Mr. and Mrs. Gates left this afternoon for Fort Wayne, where they will institute a search and endeavor to locate the young man and take him back to Toledo, where a small fortune awaits him as well as a future home. Any information any one can give would be gladly received by Mr. and Mrs. Gates, and can be directed to them at their home 730 Bush street Toledo, Ohio.

FUNERAL TOMORROW They are Run Down by the Pennsylvania Flyer at Maples. While on the way to New Haven Saturday evening to attend the celebration of the twentieth wedding anniversary of Mrs. Sophia Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kukelhan, two of Adams counties best known citizens, met instatit death at the town of Maples, by being struck by a passenger train on the Pennsylvania railroad, and a trip that meant so much pleasure to the old couple was turned into a trip of profound sorrow’ for the relatives, who only a few hours before had wished them goodbye and wished them a gaffe and pleasant journey. Little did they think when they left their home in Root township that they would be returned to that same home within a few hours cold and stark in death and the suddenness of the entire affair only goes to show the uncertainty of this life, and that we are never able to tell when our time has come, and we will be summoned before our Maker. Word of this tragic accident reached this city about six o’clock Saturday evening and it soon spread from one end of the city to the other, and those who knew this couple so intimately were shocked beyond expression and at first were inclined to disbelieve the story unfil further news confirmed the report. The accident happened right in the heart of the town of Maples, where the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad crosses the public highway, and from what can be learned there was not an eyewitness ) to the accident except the engineer and fireman, who were operating the train that crashed into their rig. r Mr. and Mrs. Kukelhan on this particular afternoon left their beautiful country home four miles northeast of this city with the intenion of going to the home of Mrs. Kukelhan's sister, Mrs. Sophia Baker, who on Sunday expected to celebrate her twentieth “■ wedding anniversary. They were in i the best Os health and spirits and undoubtedly drove along the public highway drawing pictures of the excellent time that was awaiting them 1 at their journey’s end. Everything 3 went along well until they reached t the town of Maples, which is a small j country town located on the Pennsylvania railway in Allen county, and which has a population probably of 1 two or three hundred. The road on 3 which they were traveling led right s through the business portion of this t town and to gain the city proper it ; was necessary for thqm to cross the railroad. The crossing at this particular point has always been a danger1 ous one, as the track on the west side . is lined with buildings, which hides ; I the view of the same for several hunI dred feet each way. Unconscious of any approaching danger the aged couple drove upon the track and had just > gained the summit when the Pennsyl- ; vania Flyer, the fastest train on that t road, struck the rig broadside, hurling , the occupants from the rig and so f one side of the track, killing each I instantly. The train was stopped as soon as possible, and the crew hur- ' ried back to the scene and assisted in picking up the bodies and carrying . them into a nearby house, and an examination made which disclosed that every bone in the body of Mr. Kukelhan had been broken and that he suffered a number of bruises about the face, which were undoubtedly caused by cinders and other ballasting along the right of way. Mrs. Kukelhan suffered a fracture of the skull, both arms and one limb being broken and numerous other body bruises. Death in both cases was instantaneous. Thie coroner from Allen county was summoned and gathered what evidence he' could concerning the accident, and turned the remains over to undertakers Gay and Zwick of this city, who were summoned to the scene shortly after the accident. The remains were placed in an ambulance and brought •to this city, where they were dressed and this morning were taken to the Kukelhan home. The deceased were two of the oldest residents of this county, having practically made their home near this city all of their life, on a farm. Mr. Kukelhan was aged sixty-eight years and his wife was three years his junior. They owned four hundred acres of land in Root township, which was considered to be one of the best farms in Adams county. They had just reached the point in life when they had expected to take things easy and enjoy their old days together in pieace and quietitude when they were stricken from our midst without a moment’s warning and in a twinkling of an eye. Berth Mr. and Mrs. Kukelhan were popular people in the community in which they resided, and their friends are innumerable, and their untimely death has cast a gloom and sorrow over the entire community. They were mem-

bers of the Fuelling church and both Were earnest and devoted Christians and workers in its behalf, and their many acts of kindness and deeds of charity will be sadly missed by those who came in constant touch with them. They were the parents of seven children, six sons and one daughter, all of whom survive their loss. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at one-thirty o’clock sun time at the Fuelling church. Rev. Dornsief preaching in English and Rev. Klausing in German, and interment was made in the family burial plot at the Fuelling cemetery. — o A telegram was received here Saturday afternoon, by Mrs. Jacob Sonday, a freight engineer on the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad between Grand Rapids and Fort Wayne, had been killed in Grand Rapids. Very little information concerning the accident was contained in the telegram, but it is understood that the unfortunate man was taking his engine out of the round house, preparatory to starting on his run, when he was struck by a timber. —Portland Review. The automobile, modern peril of the public highway, has destroyed the lives of 256 men, women and children in the United States during the ten months from January 1 to November 1. But that record was totally eclipsed by the dreadful work of this modern engine of destruction during September and October. In those two months 143 persons were killed, 30 more than in all the previous months of 1907. The total of seriously injured bounded up from 362 to 864. Paul Coon, a Clover Leaf brakeman, was the victim of a serious accident at Sorento, west of Charleston, and one that will disable him for several weeks. He was engaged in coupling cars when his hand was caught between the bumpers, but fortunately the hand was only badly mashed and was not injured sufficiently to cause the loss of any of the fingers.—Frankfort Crescent.

BELIEVE IN DREAMS? W Ym, Wc»t Would You Do In a Caoo Similar to Thio? If you should dream that a man with whom you were acquainted killed his wife, if you vividly saw him plunge a dagger into her heart in your vision, would you tell the wife of your premonition of a tragedy? This question has been puzzling a number of people in London. A married couple were inspecting a bouse which waa for rent in Surrey some time ago. While the husband inspected the stables the wife remained in the parlor. Shortly after her husband left the room, the wife said, a man and woman entered. The woman w’as young and pretty and In tears. The man was angry. After gesticulating a few minutes he rushed to the girl, drew a knife from bls coat and plunged it through her heart. With a loud shriek the woman who witnessed the tragedy arose and staggered to the door. She looked about her and saw that the couple had vanished. She realized she had either been dreaming or had seen a vision. When her husband returned she told him her experience. They did not rent the house. Some time afterward while attending a reception the woman was introduced to a young lady and her fiance. She recognized the characters of her vision. Later the young couple to whom she had been introduced were married. To her dtamay, the woman learned they had leaaed the vary house where sha had experienced tha harrowing dream. What was she to da? She asked her frienda. They were at a lose to give her advice. The woman was convinced that she was. yiven the premonition of a tragedy. At the same time she dreaded provoking a disagreement la cast these should be nothing but a halluek ■ation. What would you do in such a case? This would depend, of course, as to whether or not you believe in dream*. De you? Nothing Doing. The musician was visibly annoyed. “Bnt, hang it all,” he said, “I told your reporter three or four times over that the violin I used was a genuine Stradivarlus, and here In his report thia morning there’s not a word—not a word!” With a •cornful laugh the editor replied: “That is as it should be, sir. When Mr. Stradivarlus gets his fiddles advertised In this paper under $2 a line, you come around and let me know.”— Los Angeles Times.

IS A GOOD PREACHER A Very Successful Meeting Was Held at the Methodist Church. After three weeks of hard and consistent work, Rev. Oborn closed the series of revival meeungs at the Methodist church Sunday night with a most appropriate sermon and left this morning for his home at Warsaw. During the time Rev. Oborn has been in our city he has delivered many powerful sermons, among which the “Three Roads to Sodom,” “The Best Job,” and “A Shorn Lamb,” stand out as most prominent themes upon which he t liked. Great interest has been manifested by the people in general in tnese services, and fifteen souls have been converted. The attendance at all the meetings has been beyond reproach as the spacious auditorium was well filled at each session. The evangelist conducted three services in a single day at several different times and it was through his and Dr. Wilcox's untiring efforts that so much good has been accomplished. At last nights meeting the audience was so immense that it was found necessary to open the doors of the lecture room to accommodate the people, and they were all amply repaid by an excellent discourse from the lips of Rev. Oborn. Yesterday afternoon another special sermon to rqen only was delivered on the theme “A Shorn of Strength” and it was interesting indeed. In fact every sermon forthcoming from the evangelist has contained many truths and logical thoughts and he would be welcomed in Decatur again at any time. He will conduct revival services at Kalamazoo next, and he has the best wishes of Decatur people for great success in his meetings at that place.

THEY WANT MORE ROOM. Scheme Being Worked to Build Annex to State Capitol. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. —Among state officials and others having business regularly at the capitol building there is a movement on foot to enlarge state quarters by building an annex to the state house. If the plan develops the next general assembly will be asked to appropriate a goodly sum with which to make what are regarded as necessary additions. For months there has been general complaint among state officials because of cramped conditions. Not a single official has as much room as he would like or could properly use. Many of the offices are overcrowded. Every one of the 126 rooms in the building is occupied and even the basement has been converted into a laboratory for the food and drug commissioner. From basement to garret the big building is filled. v PETITIONS IN CIRCULATION. Muncie is Also Going into the Impeachment Business. Muncie, Ind., Nov. 11. —Events are moving rapidly in the controversy involving the Muncie fire department. A movement, organized by many of the leading manufacturers, business and professional men, property owners and taxpayers of the city, was started yesterday looking toward the removal from office of Mayor Leonidas A. Guthrie. Besideg, this step, another similar in its purpose, was instituted calling upon the taxpayers of the city to be present in force this evening at the special session of council “to protest against the present administration of city affairs and petition for relief from same.” Never before in the history of the city has there been such widespread agitation over municipal affairs. It has been known for some weeks that certain members of council and others, who have had no confidence in the mayor's ability to conduct the affairs and business of the city properly, were ready to indorse any action looking 'toward his impeachment from office.

~ Frank Peterson reports that his efforts in securing contracts for the new pickle concern are meeting with more than success and he is fully confident that he can secure the number of acres required by the company. The farmers are taking a hold of this proposition with a vim and determination that spells success. A new show will be presented at the Electric theater entitled “Two Orphans” and “When the Cat’s Away.” The first subject is very pathetic and shows how two little chaps who were orphans finally were rewarded for their traits and taken into a good home. The second subject shows how the employes of a big manufacturer played while the boss was absent and the result when he returned and found how things were running. Both shows are excellent and deserve your patronage.
