H. E. Barnard, state food and drug | commissioner, has completed »n extensive analysis of the drinking water ‘ supplied on interurban cars in Indiana . and he says the traveling public may, ■ with a feeling of perfect safety, drink : the water. Several weeks ago the 1 question of testing such water was taken up. A number of persons who travel on interurban cars a great deal asked the state board of health to make some investigations. These persons expressed the fear that the water in the cars might cause typhoid fever and other diseases. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, considered the question and Mr. Barnard began the work of testing. i I C. O. McNulty, formerly of this city, now a resident of Indianapolis, where he is running a five-cent theater, has a phonograph and the board of safety in the city is to determine whether the machine makes real music or just plain nerve-racking noise. Dr. Abbett says the machine makes only noise and that it is seriously hampering his wife from recovering from a severe illness, his rooms being directly over the theater. The doctor says that it makes no more music than twenty tomcats on the backyard fence at the dead hour of midnight. McNulty claims that it would Injure his business and it's up to the members of the board to say whether its music or noise.—Frankfort Crescent. The Ladies’ Mite Society of the M. E. church will be entertained at the home of Mrs. L. G. Ellingham next Friday afternoon. An entertaining session is anticipated and a goodly number should turn out to enjoy same. Churubusco, the “City of the Blessed,” was the scene of pugnacious activity Wednesday evening which for a time bordered near on a riot. The I “affairs” grew out of the temperance fight which ended a few hours previous by the town being remonstrated dry. The scrimmages resulted in Marshal David Ramsey having an eye blacked and being otherwise injured, Rev. H. W. Miller, pastor of the M. E. church had an eye blacked and John M. Smith was struck in the back of the head by J. Long, a 'Busco liveryman. Rev. Miller and Marshal Ramsey’s injuries are not considered serious. Mr. Smith, however, was in bed all day Thursday and it is feared that his - spinal cord has been injured by the blow at the base of the brain.

missionary society Held Successful Meeting With Mrs. Jennie Studabaker Yesterday. The meeting of the Adams County Medical society which Is scheduled to be held at the office of Dr. J. S. Boyer one week from today will be most interesting. Dr. Graham, of Geneva, has prepared a paper on “Conjunctivitis that will interest every physician in the county and a full attendance of the physicians of the county is urged. The Euterpean club was royally entertained at the home of Mrs. D. D. Heller last night in which the study of Mrs. Elizabeth Barlett Browning's poems was taken .up. Mrs. J. W. Tyndall had charge of the program and it was well executed, reflecting much credit upon those in charge. Miss Irene Schirmeyer rendered beautiful instrumental music during the session which was well received by the ladies of the club. The Home Missionary Society of the Methodist church held a very successful meeting at the home of Mrs. Jennie Studabaker yesterday afternoon and much business of importance was looked after. A full report of the district convention of this organization was read by Mrs. John Niblick, who was a delegate from this city. An excellent business session was enjoyed by all the members who were present. The meeting of the C. W. B. M. which was held at the home of Mrs. Noah Mangold yesterday was interesting indeed. Elegant refreshments were served and a good social time enjoyed. The meeting of the Ladies’ Aid society of the Christian church, which was to have been held at the home of Mrs. Henry Stevens today, has been postponed until next Thursday. The Ladies’ Historical club will hold their next meeting at the home of Mrs. M. Burns on Adams street next Tuesday afternoon. The principal paper which will be on “The Maccabees” will be handled by Mrs. R. K. Erwin and it promises to be interesting.

Christmas shoppers should take heed to the appeals of Decatur merchants and do their shopping at once not waiting until a day or so before the day and then in all your rush do your trading. Think of the advantage to you and what a burden would be lifted from the shoulders ot the clerks if you would take a few moments and think what purchases you want to make for yourself and friends by going at onee to do your seemingly small amount of trading which will amount to considerable if a number of people do the same as you. The coldest morning of the year was Thursday morning, December 5. The thermometer began to sink early the previous evening and at 5 o'clock Thursday it registered 6 degrees above zero. We have real winter on hand and the expert who preI dieted that it would not arrive until December 22 will have to admit that this is as near the real article as could be desired. There never was a preacher or a president, poet or politician who could please everybody. There never was a tinker or tailor, soldier or sailor who could suit us all. Show us a doctor or lawyer, a merchant or sawyer who pleases the whole multitude. The Lord himself and all the angels in heaven have never been half successful in satisfying the human race. There is not a thing on earth or anywhere else that meets the approval of all mankind. Then It would be nonsense for editors to fret when their honest efforts fail to please a few. Mrs. Will Liddy returned to Decatur on Wednesday, after her visit here with Joel Liddy and other relatives at Linn Grove.—Berne Witness.

Moser &Co. are ready for their big opening of the New Premium store which occurs at nine o’clock tomorrow morning, as their announcements through th eweek have stated, they will give many bargains and other proof that the store is really a premium store.

Schultz, six years ago a Marion letter carrier, who murdered his wif.e a former Huntington county girl, has written from Michigan City to Grant county authorities in the interest of his release from the prison at Michigan Ctty. He has asked the sheriff in that county to intercede for his parole. The murder was one of the worst ever committed in Marlon and that Schultz should redelve merey is not at all probabla.

COURT’S DECISION Judge Merryman’s Opinion in Habeas Corpus Case Was Satisfactory. Judge Merryman proved his sagacity his desire to do right and his ability to deal with intricate and puzzling problems yesterday evening when he decided the Rice habeas corpus case in a manner which caused genera) satisfaction to all concerned. In giving his decision the judge said that while he recognized the depth of the mother’s love and the affections of the grandparents, he also wanted to do that which would, he believed, be to the babe’s best future Interest. He said he believed the child would have a better home wdth her grandparents and he gave them the custody, but with the distinct understanding that the mother is to see her daughter, that she is to have her at her home a half day each week and that the grandparents are not to seek in any way to alienate the mother’s affection. The judgment seemed to satisfy all parties and they should conform with same in every particular, thus avoiding future difficulties. o . — THE STRAUB CASE Continued Until Next Week —Three Criminal Cases Will Be Tried.

Freight Train Ditched Near Portland— Two Men Injured.

Portland, Ind., December R.—Extra freight train No. 24, northbound, on the G. R. & I. was wrecked about 5 o’clock Sunday morning about two and one-half miles south of this city. Five cars filled with coke were derailed and thrown to the side of the track. The train, in charge of Conductor Rady, of Richmond, was bowling along at a rapid clip, when the fifth Car from the rear left the rails and pulled after it the remainder of the train. The caboose alone kept a semblance of remaining on the track, and its body was so thrown and twisted on the trucks that it stood at an angle of about 45 degrees. The conductor and rear brakeman 'Albright, of Fort Wayne, were riding in the caboose, and were thrown about and badly bruised. The conductor had three ribs broken and a bad cut bn the left side of his face. The 'brakeman was also badly bruised and 'shaken up. The wreck is thought to 'have been caused by a broken rail. ‘The first car that struck the bad place was carried on the ties for a distance of perhaps 1,500 feet, and the ties for that length were, some of them cut completely in two by the heavy car and others so badly damaged that all had to be replaced. HOPES TO MERIT CONFIDENCE. I am most grateful to the Democrats ' of Adams county for the confidence they have reposed in me, and I shall always aim to merit that confidence and good will. Thanking one and all,, I am, CHAS. C. ERNST. I

Editor Democrat: Be kind enough to allow me to use your paper in extending to my friends my heartfelt thanks for their loyal support during the recent Democratic primary. I would like to further state that I have no ill feeling for those who were the ardent supporters of my opponents, for they did nothing contrary to good government when they cast their ballots according to the dictates of their judgment. As the future is before us and not in the past, I am still determined to cling to my ideas of good public service and am resolved to prove my stand by putting my shoulder to the wheel and do my best in discharging my duty as a citizen without malice toward any and good will toward all.

FOR EMBEZZLEMENT Account of His Troubles as Printed in a Warsaw Paper. Attorney John C. Graves on Friday gave bond in the sum of $2,500 for his appearance in the Kosciusko circuit court to answer to two charges of embezzlement, preferred by Frederick J. Kallmerten, representing the Ar-buckle-Ryan Company, ot Toledo, Ohio. The affidavits which were filed on Friday morning alleges that the Arbuckle-Ryan company paid to Attorney J. C. Graves the sum of $1,250, which was to be used in buying up a farm belonging to Sherman Stuard. at sheriff's sale, in order to save a second mortgage held by the ArbuckleRyan company against the land. The complaint states that the money was appropriated by Attorney Graves. The second affidavit charges Attorney Graves with holding a certificate of sale valued at SBSO and belonging to the Arbuckle-Ryan company. Attorney Graves made a statement of the case to a representative of this paper on Friday afternoon. He stated that he was employed by the Ar-buckle-Ryan company to look after their claim on the land and that the company paid him $1,250 to assist in buying the sheriff’s sale certificate held by Straus Bros., and also in paying other judgments against the land. He stated that about $2,700 was needed to secure a clear title to the land

and that he used in the neighborhood of $1,500 of his own money in order to handle the deal. For that reason the certificates were handled in his own name. He stated that only a few days ago he offered to settle with the Arbuckle-Ryan company by paying them the $1,250 they had given him, giving them back the property they had sold Stuard and for which they held a second mortgage on the land and also paying them about S6OO profit on the deal. The company refused to settle for that amount, according to Attorney Graves’ statement demanding interest and refusing to allow • claims paid by Graves and commenced action for embezzlement, when the ' settlement on their terms was refused. Attorney Graves stated he would be able to show up everything in the proper light when the case came to trial. —Warsaw Northern Indianian. GAVE IT TO LINCOLN DIXON.
