Several Decatur people will return this week from outings and vacation t at Rome City. Sylvan lak e at that t place is an ideal place and every year a many attend same from here. ( County Assessor Gentis has made t a comparison of the assessments on ] cattle, horses and hogs in all the i townships of the county, with the fol- r lowing result: Cattle. Horses. Hogs Lnion 414.55 $60.25 $2.46 Root 12.09 43.49 2.37 ‘ Kirkland 16.50 60.68 2.80 ' Washington ... 17.14 67.25 3.54 ‘ I 3t - Marys 34.35 58 g- 213 ' Blue Creek .... 14.61 56.42 291 ' Monroe 33.74 66 81 2 .34 * Hartford 14.28 65.77 2.55 1 Wabash 16.45 50.87 3.34 ' Jefferson 17.34 54.06 2.57 1 Decatur 15.60 38.29 2.33 1 Berne 18.24 57.81 2.57 1 Genev » 20.41 51.63 2.67 Monroe 15.33 61.34 3.23 ' I In comparing these averages it will I be seen that Monroe township leads in the number of horses, and while I French township is ahead of all other | townships in value, Monroe township also leads in the number of cattle. ( Geneva and Berne has the highest average value on sheep, yet Jefferson township leads in the number. Washington township has the highest 1 priced hogs. With all this it will be 1 seen that the difference by townships is too great and that mor e of an equality should exist in these assessments, County Assessor Gentis has in mind some reform, and bj’ the time I next year’s assessments are due, he I will likely have a plan that will give mote equitable average assessment I between townships, Preble, Ind., July 25—(Special to ' Daily Democrat) —While working at 1 one of the large oil tanks of the Standard Oil Co. in this place today in company with about twenty fellow workmen, Joseph Peterstein, an employe of this company, was most severely wounded by a flying piece of sharp steel, which penetrated his jugular vein, cutting it almost in two. H e may die as a result. The accident happened about 9:30 o’clock this morning. Mr. Peterstein, in company with other laborers, were working at one of the tanks, when in knocking pieces of steel off the same, one of the sharp edges of a flying piece struck him with the already told results. Dr. Grandstaff ot this place, was hastily summoned, and did all in his power for the injured man. However, very little hope is given for his recovery on account of the great amount ot blood which was lost before the physicians’ arrival. The sympathy of the entire community certainly goes out to the unfortunate victim. A similar accident to that which befell Joseph Peterstein at this place, occurred to an employe of the pipe line by the name of Brown. He. was also working on one of the tanks when a piece of steel struck him on his cheek inflicting a deep gash several inches long. The accident happened about fifteen minutes before that of Mr. Peterstein, and this man was at the office of Dr. Grandstaff getting the wound dressed when a call for the doctor came from the other injured man. The wound of Mr. Brown, which, fortunately, will not result seriously, was quickly attended k to, after which the physician attended to the injury of Mr. Peterstein. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Schafer, who several months ago removed to Dallas, Texas, for their future abode are in the city, th e guests of friends and relatives. They state that Mr. and Mrs. W, F. Brittson, their daughter and son-in-law are getting along nicely and enjoyed th e very best of health. Mr. and Mrs. Schafer are much taken up with Dallas, and think it is a very good business city. They will remain in the north for about two months, during which time they will visit relatives in th e vicinity of Elkhart and , other northern towns. Before return- , ing, Mr. Schafer expects to enjoy a , fishing trip to Michigan. However, , they will remain in Decatur for some j time yet before leaving for the north. . W. F. MacGinnity. of Portland, was ’ here Saturday’ and filed a transcript in ; the case of Penina Silvers, exparte. s This case is one of long standing. ]

coming up first in the commissioners 1 court of Jay county, appealed from there to the Jay circuit court, and then brought to this county on change of venue. The case was tried and Penina Silvers wont out. An appeal was taken to the appellate court, and at their May term this year, the case was reversed. This brings the case back to this court, where it will be entered upon the docket for trial, at the opening of the September term. A marriage license was issued to Ferdinand Mettler to Rosella Beitler. The groom hails from Wabash township, and the bride resides at Berne. This is the first license issued by Clerk Haefling for ten days or more, and will be taken as an indication that the spell is broken.

No effort will be spared 1 a to make your visit and patronage 31 pleasant and profitable. Every pro-11> vision for your care and comfort is : e made. August 17-21. Ift The twentieth annual meeting of rhe old settlers of Jay and Randolph I S counties will b e held at Lakeside L park at Ridgeville on Wednesday, T August 12th, and the committees in ° charge of arrangements are sparing t( no time or expense to make this the ° biggest old settlers meeting ever held On the speakers list th e two candi- a flats for governor have been secured, * Hon. Thomas R. Marshall and Hon. f James E. Watson both of whom were a born in Randolph county. Music will 11 be furnished by the famous Indiana E band of Muncie, the Lynn and Ridge- 1 ville bands, which insures an abun- 1 danc e of good music. Not content ° with one balloon ascension this year € the committee has arranged tor two 1 ascensions and parachute drops. One 1 at 10 o’clock a. m. and the other at 5 p. m. There will be other attractions to please every one’s taste; ball ’ games, merry-go-’rounds, etc. Hand- ! som e prizes will be given the oldest 1 settlers present and one of the feat- ' ures will be the free dinner to all ' I persons present over 80 years of age. The old settlers meetings at Ridgevill has grown to be the largest gath- ' ering of its kind in the United States and there is the place to meet every- ' body you ever knew’. Sheriff Eli Meyer received a telephone r.essage from Celina, Ohio, today announcing the fact that a horse was stolen at that plac e and that the thief was enroute for Decatur. In the meantime it developed that a man answering the description had fed his hors P at the Riverside stable today noon. Mr Meyer immediately mounted his bicycle and started in pursuit of the thief north of the city. Deputy Sheriff Green had also been told of the affair and he deputized Edwin Fledderjohann to utilize his automobile in overtaking the criminal. They also started northward at a high rate of speed. The officers left determined to capture their man and as he had only gotten a twenty minute start, it is quite probable that they will overtake him. From all appearances, their is an organized gang of robbers working in this section. Scarcely a day goes by but what a hors e is stolen from some town in this vicinity and the officers are making a vigirous effort to break up the workings of the thieves. About ten miles of brick roadway in Muncie and Delaw-’-e county will either be under course of construction or ordered made before winter comes again. The paving proposition, which has been much discussed for the past ten years, was brought to a climax when th e recent legislature enacted a law making it possible for paving 10 be done at the expense of the township funds. Although a few miles of brick paving has been ordered through the council and board of w’orks, most of the proposed paving has been done through the county commissioners on petitions from residents of Center township. It may be that only a few miles of paving will be completed this year, but it is likely that all of the petitions before the commissioners will be acted upon and the contracts let so that the construction may be commended early next isummer. Throtgh the city council and the board of works, the paving of Seymour street, Charles street, i

Main street and Liberty street has been started. The first two streets have been paved and are in use. The contractors ar e now rushing the work on the other two thoroughfares. Os the roads to b e paved by the township. the contract has been let for Wheeling avenue, which will extend from the High street bridge to the the Bethel pike, a distance of about one mile. Last week the bonds were sold for Hoyt avenue, which is to be paved from Liberty street to the Buck creek bridge, a distance of about a mile and a half. Work on the avenue will b e commenced within a few weeks. The contract has also been awarded for the construction of Elm street, from Adams to the Centennial pike, a distance of about one mile. Work that has been ordered by the county commissioners, effecting city streets and parts of country roadways

“ follows: West Jackson street, from - Kilgore avenue to White river, a dis- ; tanc e of about 1,000 yards: Ohio avenue, from Macedonia avenue to the 1 Belt railway over Wailing hill, and Elm street, from Adams street to the Centennial pike. Contracts for this work probably will be let by the commissioners at an early date. It is estimated that the brick pavement will average $20,000 a mile, which will aggregate about $200,000 for the amoun tof work that has been ordered and petitioned for. It will be the largest undertaking ever begun in the way of street and road improvement In the history of the city and county.

Dr. J. C. Grandstaff, of Preble, was! a business caller in our city today, i With a number of machines in op i eration, th e Ward Fence factory is ! 1 buay place and alarge quantity of i the famous fence is being manufac ■ tured, although there are still several machines yet to be installed. The fact that forty-eight men are on their pay roil j s deserving of mention and ?ood results are already in evidence is a consequence of this institution. Fo funher the advertisement of their Jutput the promoters have arranged to make elaborate displays of their ornamental wire fence, (ornamental iron fence, field fence, poultry fence and gates at several of the state | fairs, which will be held inthe near I future. The displays will be made at the Indiana, loya. Ohio and Illinois fairs, their representatives, J. E. Lawrence and F. H. Addington hav- ’ ing been assigned to look after same. The Ward Fence company is behind on tilling the many orders and an effort is belg made to start several more machines in operation tomorrow. J. Ghasen, of Cincinnati, a man w’ell quolified to have charge of a ■ fence factory, will assume th e super- I intendency of the Ward Fence plant I ,in September. He is acquainted with I every feature of the business and I will no doubt prove a valuable man. | South Bend. Ind., July 28. —Ar- ■ rangements are now complete at , Notr e Dame university for the conference of 1908 of the Priests’ Eucharistic league, whiph will b e held today, Wednesday and Thursday. The con- | ference, which is convoked in th e interests of the league itself and preparatory to the great Eucharistic congress, to be held in this country in 1909 or 1910, will be attended by about 300 priests from all parts of the country. Th e confraternity, established by the Rev. Father Eynard, I founder of the Fathers of the Most Holy Sacrament, already numbers mor e than 40,000 members, ail of whom are of the clergy. Moreover, three cardinals and sixty bishops, ten ruling dioceses in the United States, have appended their names to this already long list of membership. The Rt. Rev. C. P. Maes. D.D., bishop of Covington, is the protector of the league. Notre Dame is an ideal spot for holding this convention and the members of the confraternity are making an unusual effort to be present It is said that hospitality can be furnished to more than 400 guests, and holy mass can be celebrated on mor e than forty altars. Those attending will take their meals in the great dining room of the university. The address of welcome to the visiting priests will be given by the Very Rev. John Cavanaugh, C. S. C., president of Notre Dame university. Among those who have prepared papers are Arthur B. O’Neill, C. S, 0., of the Ave Maria. Notre Dame; the Rev. Joseph Selinger. D.D.. Jefferson, Mo.; the Rev. George Tragresser, Emmitsburg, Md.; iF. D. McShone, the Rev. E. Portier, C. S. C.. direc-tor-general, and the Rev. A. O’Brien, LL.D. After four days of intense suffering from internal injuries resulting from the terrible crushing his body received between the big iron bumpers of two freight cars on the Erie railroad last Thursday’ morning, William Straub breathed his last Monday afternoon at 3:40 o’clock. It was a most pathetic scene at the Straub 1 home when the end came. The moth- j er who has depended upon this boy ( almost entirely for her support is 1 inconsolable. William was aa Indus- 1

»| trious young man. and at the end s of each week would give his earni ings to his mother, with which she : paid the rent and purchased eatables ' for the family. He -worked steadily, , ■ and was regarded as a conscientious | 1 employee by the man for whom he worked and the sympathy of the com- 1 munity goes out to the other who will sadly miss the boy, who has guarded her interests so successfully. Sinc e the accident it was generally thought by the people who heard of the circumstances that the boy could survive but a short time. It was only due to his wonderfully strong constitution that the spark of life has not expired sooner. He engaged in a battle for life, but the grim reaper ■was the victor. Yesterday afternoon when the news of the boys death percolated through the streets of the city, the people expressed profound ; sorrow, as well as surprise that s death has resulted so soon, it having ■ been given out yesterday morning j j that he was doing as well as was j j expected. Occlusion of the bowels, I Internal inflammation and a general derangement of the intestines, kid- ] neys and stomach brought about in- ] evitabfe death. Th e deceased *was ] past twenty years of age. Informa- i tion has reached us to the effect that ’ a damage suit will result, as a conse- * quence of the death of the boy, the j Erie railroad company to be the defendant, and the boy’s mother the plaintiff, but as to the exact course ‘ to be taken, we ar© at this time, un- 5 able to state.
