Gretchen and Herald, while returning from Monroe last Wednesday, figured in a runaway that might have resulted much more seriously than was the case. They had driven to Monroe early in the afternoon and started for Decatur at six o’clock in the evening. When about one and one-half miles from that place a man riding a bicycle approached and the Graham horse became frightened, whirling squarely around overturning the vehicle and throwing the three occupants to the ground. Neither Mrs. Graham nor tha children were injured but the buggy wag completely demolished. The frightened animal broke loose from the buggy and run back to Monroe, where it was afterward captured. Dr. Parrish, of Monroe, happened by the place when the accident happened and he brought Mrs. Graham and children to the city in his automobile.

Frances, the seventeen year old daughter of John Hoithouse succumbed last Wednesday at 5 o’clock p. m., to ravages thereof. The development of this child was retarded when in her infancy and although at the time of her death she was seventeen years of age, she was scarcely as large as a ten year old child. Her departure to the great beyond has caused sorrow to her many friends. About two months ago she was taken seriously ill from lang trouble, which quickly developed into consumption and her condition has grown gradually worse until her demise. no hopes whatever having been entertained for her recovery for several weeks.

He was a member of the fifty-third Indiana Volunteers, Company C and served during the entire war. Eight years ago he was married to Mrs. John Glendening who survives him. o— A GREAT PROGRAM

MYERS DENIES STATEMENT Did Not Accuse Commisaioner Hart of Accepting Bribe. Rev. G. Hunter Myers, pastor <f the Montpelier M. E. church, who took a prominent part in the fight against the saloons, has written to relatives here, denying the statement recently published by a Hartford City paper that he had accused one of the commissioners of accepting a SI,OOO bribe. He also says that a pretty political fight is being waged in Blackford county, with the temperance and anti-temperance forces arrayed against each other. The paper in question is anti-temperance, as is a majority of the board of county commissioners, hence the paper has been saying all sorts of mean things about the temperance workers at Montpelier. Rev. Myers’ Decatur friends were not greatly worried over the statements against him as they have implicit faith in his judgment.

WILL BE OPERATED UPON. David Wnllman Accompanies Brother to Fort Wayne. Mr. David Wullmann left on the morning train for Fort Wayne.

Wayne hospital this morning. His numerous friends hope for a complete recovery. o WILLIAM B. LEEDS IS DEAD. Paris, France. June 23— (Special to Daily Democrat)—William B. Leeds, the multi-millionaire of Richmond, Ind., and former president of the Rock Island railroad, died here today. Mr. was perhaps the richest man in Indiana, or one of them at least, being rated at $50,000,000. His son, editor of the Richmond Paladium was marrle<F about eighteen months ago to Miss Florence Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. p. W. Smith. • o ■—— In accordance with the provisions of the recently enacted law governing the expenditure of public moneys for the burial of indigent soldiers aftd sailors, the county commissioners will appoint township and ward committees this month whose duty it will be to look after the matter. Ther e will be compensation for those who serve on the committee. The new law allows the county to pay funeral expenses to the sum of $75 which is about $25 additional over the amount allowed under the old statute Harry Double, the former Osrian boy charged with securing money bv fraudulent, representions, has not yet been given a preliminary. He ba s nomade any demand for a trial and it >'s understood is hopeful of securing a dismissal of the charge. Hi s father, Daniel Double, was here today from Fort Wayne to see him and said that he hoped to get the matter adjusted It is possible hat if the notes which Harry is alleged to have got signed by fraud were s etled the cases might be dropped.—Bluffton News.

MAKING HARNESS Have Done Remarkable Business for the First Season Th e Schafer Sadlery company, organized the first of the year, are enjoying a splendid patronage, about forty orders having been received by mail during this spring, a wonderful return for the first year. A set of harness was shipped today to J. t. Hinton, of Jeruselum, not the plac-> of Biblical history, but a thriving town in Monroe county, Ohio. Besides these, they have sold several times as many in this and the surrounding community. Quite a force of men are employed in this department of the big Schafer store, located in the south room of their Second street block. The latest machinery has been installed and they turn out goods with factory like speed, though every set is absolutely hand stitched. They have already sent their harness to half the states of the union and have had inquiries from every portion of the county. Next year Ithey will probably double their capacity and within a few years this should be another of Decatur’s good, substantia! and thriving manufacturing concerns. o ■ — WITH FLYING HONORS He Passed the Examinations—Will Take Charge of a Drug Store Otto Peters, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Peters, of north Eleventh street, one of Decatur's most progressive young men who for the past two years hag been a student at the Ohio State university, returned to the city Thursday morning, having in his possession a graduating diploma from that popular college which authorizes him to practiqe pharmacy. This young man while at the Columbus school was a diligent student and last week when the final examinations were taken the fact was revealed that out of 240 applicants to the state board he was among the seventy-nine who passed, and he was also among the fifteen students who were awarded graduating diplomas, his grade being a very creditable one. Mr. Peters assumes the P. H. C. degree, which reflects much c’-adit upon his ability inasmuch ag he Is but twenty-one years of age. He will go to Willshire next week to take charge of the Holthouse drug store at that place and with his knowledge of the business, his services will no doubt be invaluable to this company. ARE YOU PREPARED Every Farmer Selling Butter or Milk Must Have Cows Examined The new milk ordinance, recently compiled by the city health officer. Dr. H. E. Keller, and adopted by the city council ten days ago, went into effect Friday and the doctor is kept busy enforcing and explaining same. This ordinance is one, th e observance of which will prove to the better interest of every one concerned, dairyman, farmer and patron and the health officer is right in his statement that he will enforce the law to the letter. He hag asked us to particularly call the attention of the farmers to the fact that all who sell butter or milk in any quantity must every six months of June and January, secure from a competent veterinary surgeon a certificate that the cow or cows are entirely free from disease and this certificate must b e kept on file at the office of the secretary of the board of health in this city. Any one selling milk or cream must secure a license from the secretary and to get same must file an application showing tha he has complied with every section of the ordinance. While Dr. Keller will do his utmost to enforce this law, he is entitled to and deserving of the respect of every citizen of this community and we believe he will have it. It means good health and similar laws are in force all over the country. Samuel R. Artman the Lebanon judge who decided that a state has no more right to license saloons than gambling, is being prominently mentioned as a probable candidate for president on the prohibition ticket Misses Fannie McConnell and Margaret Walters left on the 10:00 o’clock car for Monmouth, where they will spend the day at the Kunkle homestead.
