ISSUES COMPLETED Gardner vs King Case Went to the Jury at Noon Today Portland, Ind.. January 21.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The case of the State ex rel Ed Green vs. D. D. Coffee, impeachment proceedings, came up this afternoon for the making of issues in the cause. A demurer to the complaint was argued and overruled by the court. The defendant then filed 1 general denial and the case was set for trial March 9th, It being the second Monday of the March term of court. Portland, Ind., January 21.—(Spec ial)—The case of Stonewall J. Gardner vs. Thomas A. King, another suit brought here on change of venue from Adams county, went to the jury at noon today, after a day and a half at trial. The suit was filed at Decatur August 12th being an effort to collect $475, which the plaintiff claims is due him from the defendant for work and repairs on the “T. A. King No. 9" a locomotive used in grading the Fort Wayne and Springfield tracks. D. D. Heller, of Decatur and Lawyer Hester of New Albany, appeared for the plaintiff and E. E, McGriff, of Portland, for the defendant. At three o'clock no verdict had been returned.

QUITE A FACTORY Its Location in this City Means Much for Decatur It was a pleasant meeting of the stockholders of the Ward Fence company at their factory in Marion, Monday, and which was attended by twenty-two Decatur and Adams county owners of stock. Their factory there is quite a pretentious affair and was running in full blast in every department. Some forty employees were engaged in making farm fence, ornamental wire fence, iron fence, gates and miscellaneous fencing. Such a factory in Decatur would be quite a noticeable addition to the business interests of our city. It’s growth is certain, as their practical methods of conducting the business is sure to bring increasing business in a large volume. The business meeting of the stockholders was also pleasant as well as profitable. The secretary’s report reviewed the conditions of the company as well as the future prospects under a system that is bound to bring results. The election of directors resulted in the selection of Harry R. Ward, M. Earl Brackett, E. L. Carroll, J. B. Holthouse and E. C. Bleeke, and the officers chosen were Harry R. Ward, president; E. L. Carroll, vice president; M. Earl Brackett, secretary and treasurer. Twenty-two stockholders from this city and county attended the meeting.

THE LAST SAD RITES PERFORMED Remains of A. C. Gregory Were Laid to Rest by Comrades. The remains of A. C. Gregory were this afternoon at two-thiny o'clock, removed from the vault where they have lain for he past week and removed to the family burial plot and interred. The members of the G. A. R of which he was a member, performed the last sad rites under their ritualistic work and the remains were laid to rest in a manner befitting a soldier. The family attended the services, as did numerous friends of the deceased. The remains were in an excellent state of preservation, and were viewed by those present before interment. Before departing this life Mr. Gregory made his own funeral arrangements and at that time stated that he desired his remains to lie in the vault for at least a week before being interred and in accordance wiib that request everything was carried out to the letter. Q OLD TIME PRINTER IS DEAD. Jerry Ettinger, one of the pioneer printers of Indiana, known to nearly all of the older residents, and one of the most unique characters known ir the annals of journalism, died ye-ter day at Waterloo, Ind. He was one of the last surviving of the old type of craftsmen in whom the wander lust proved stronger than any other tie and for a third of a century he wandered from place to place, working usually at his trade, but when no “cases” were open, at any odd job that offered. He went from coast to coast and probably no man in America had a greater variety of experiences or numbered so many stopping places in the journey of life.

WRITES POSTMASTER For Information Along Many Lines— Decatur May Land Federal Home Postmaster Frisinger is in recelp of a communication from the supe: j vising architect of the treasury de I p art men t at Washingon, asking foi information which goes to show that Mr. Adair is pur-hing along his bil for a $50,000 federal building in De catur. The letter shows that Mt Adair’s bill has been referred to the architectural department for the se curing of necessary information to b< reported back to congress for consider atlon when the bill comes up. The architect asks for figures as to the size of a building that would be needed here, estimates as to the cost of suitable building sites, the numbei of employes of the office, the numbei of mail carriers out of the office, the receipts of the office for the past ten years, showing increases from year to year, and the population ten years ago as compared with the population of fiscal year. Os course the blanks will be care-

fully and accurately filled out and returned within a few days. There are several suitable locations and the exact site may cause quite a scramble when the time comes for that part of the arrangements. BUYS NEWSTAND Deal Closed Yesterday—Mr. Kintz to Also Resume His Former Work

A deal was consummated Monday whereby Dick Burrell again becomes the sole proprietor of the city newsstand. Several months ago Mr. Burrell, after conducting this business for nearly two years, disposed of same to M. E. Babcock. It was purchased from him sometime afterward by C. E. Sullivan in whose possession it remained but a few days when it was sold to L. L. Kintz. Mr. Kintz has been in possession of this popular place of business four months and yesterday he relinquished his claim to it in favor of Mr. Burrell, after several weeks of negotiations between these two gentlemen. The retiring proprietor was a hustler for business and accordingly was attended by an abundance of success. He only retired from the business after receiving a flattering offer to conduct a bake shop, which line he will follow in a short time. Mr. Burrell took immediate possession of the stand, although Mr. Kintz will retain the delivery of the papers until the first of next month. . o A GASOLINE STOVE EXPLODED. Almost Instantly Killing James Merriweather at Rome City. James R. Meriweather, of Fort Wayne, well known to many Decatur people, especially those who frequent Rome City, was almost instantly killed at the latter place Monday noon.

His cottage is located east of Island Point next to the Joss cottage on the point and just across the narrows from the cottages used by Decatur people usually. Mr. lleriweather was chief clerk to superintendent Hudson of the G. R. & I. and went to the lake to do some repairs about his cottage. While preparing his noon lunch the gasoline stove exploded, set fire to his clothing and he ran out into the yard and threw himself into the snow. Two men fishing nearby ran to his side and carried him tote the cottage, but he died before they reached the house, evidently having inhaled some of the flames. o NEW BOOKS AT PUBLIC LIBRARY The following new books have 1 • " received and put on shelves by Moses for the public benefit: Spoilsman, by Elliott Flower: W’the Gates Left Up Their Head . ’■ Payne Erskine; The Captain s Gate, by Frank R.

“THE POSE OF POWER.” A Doctor Says It Can Only Be Obtained by Carrying the Body Right. The human body is a machine—a machine in some respects not unlike a watch. If you bend the watch slightly yon displace its parts (its organs, if you please;, and then the watch will not go aright The same is true of man. In his body every organ has its place. If his body is bent some er all of his vital organs are displaced. They cannot perform their work, and the man, like the watch, is out of order. “How many of us are like that?’ Well, in au examination covering several thousand people I found less than one in a hundred who was right Nine-ty-nine people out of a hundred have displaced organs. I may add that I have never found disease in any organ that was habitually carried in its normal place. The organ always becomes displaced before it becomes diseased. And what is the cause of this universal displacement? In a word, the cause is a bad method of holding the body in standing, in sitting, walking about and lying down. The trunk Is merely a flexible, hollow cylinder inside of which the organs are supported, each in its place. When, however, the body is bent and collapsed, as in most people, the organs drop out of their places and are crowded against each other. They are then unable to do their work, and thus they become diseased. Every case of chronic indigestion which I have ever examined has had a stomach that was hanging from two to five inches lower than its right position —a condition known to medical men as gastroptosls. And the rare man who holds his body aright in standing, walking or sitting, such a man is always a man of power. Cromwell was a man of this type. So were Napoleon, Washington and Bismarck. “And how shall I restore my organs to proper position?” asks one of the ninety-nine.

By so developing the body that it is at all times erect, uplifted and expanded. This will draw each organ into the position in which it can do its best work. A glance at the pictures of the men I have mentioned will show you what I mean. As to practical methods, take the following exercise for five minutes four or five times a day: Place the feet together, arms at sides, head back, chest up and forward, abdomen in. knees back, weight on balls of feet—“the position of a soldier.” Throw the weight as far forward as you can. Hold the position from half to one minute, then relax. P>epeat the exercise from six to twelve times. Add to this reasonable habits of living, and in three months you will have gone far toward gaining the pose of power.—Dr. Latson in Chicago Journal.

Warding Off a Cold. The first point that must have struck almost every careful observer of catarrhal pneumonia is that in nine cases out of ten a cold is caught as the result, not of getting cold, but, on the contrary, of getting unduly hot. This apparent paradox is, of course, intelligible enough when one considers that It is when the body is heated that the pores of the skin are opened and are then much more likely to take a chill than when they are closed by the action of the cold. This is also the explanation of the efficacy of a cold shower bath after taking a Turkish or even an ordinary hot bath, as the sudden action of the cold water closes the pores and so protects the skin from the action of the air. The best possible preventive from catching cold is cold water, applied either in the form of a cold bath or, if that is considered too drastic a measure, it will be found that merely bathing the neck in cold water, both in the early morning and also the last thing at night, does a great deal toward giving one immunity from colds.—Modern Society.

Rossetti’s Way. This striking picture of Rossetti appears iu William Allington's memoirs: “Rossetti walks very characterically, with a peculiar lounging gait, often trailing the point of his umbrella on the ground, but still obstinately pushing on and making way, humming the while with closed teeth in the intervals of talk, not a tune or anything like one, but what sounds like a sotto voce note of defiance to the universe. Then suddenly he will fling himself I down somewhere and refuse to stir an , inch I arther. His favorite attitude—on i his ! ack, one knee raised, hands behind head. He very seldom takes par- . r notice of anything as he goes ares nothing about natural bis- : r science in any form or degree. I Main that the simple, the natural, > aive, are merely insipid in his > i. He must have strong savors ;, in literature and in life. About and other matters Rossetti Is cm Irously bold in announcing andi.i'A ding his opinion, and he has the valuable quality of knowing what he likes and sticking to it.” A Hopeless Pessimist. At a gathering of men and women each one in turn was called upon to cite the attribute he or she considered of greatest worth in the formation of character, each attribute to be fol-1 lowed by the name of some one who best embodied it. For Instance, a man gave sterling integrity and as his example Abraham Lincoln; a woman, tdct, with Mme. de Maintenon as illustration; another woman, loyalty, adding the name of George Washington. At last it came the turn of a very plain spoken woman, who in loud, clear tones cried, “Honesty, and I know of no example, either living or dead!’*

A new case was filed Saturday evening in Squire Smith’s court entitled David Liby against me Chicago and Erie railroad, whenein the plaintiff alleges that an Erie train killed a number of his hogs to me value of forty-five dollt -s. Service was obtained Saturday evening by Constable Smith and the case will be beard on the 16th. Liby says that the company’s fence was defective at the point where the hogs made their escape into the right of way. The program for the Sixth District meeting of the K. of P. lodge to be held at Bluffton on January 16th, is out, and from the appearances of the same the meeting should be a hummer. All of the grand lodge officers will be present at the meeting and this no doubt insures the success of the same. The meeting will last the entire day and will wind up with a banquet and social session. Decatur lodge will be well represented. The regultr monthly meeting of the Citizens' Telephone company was held last evening at the office of Secretary Schirmeyer. The usual routine of business was concluded.
