The weather conditions have, during the course of the past twelve . hours, become more perplexing and the city and telephone linemen are encountering more difficulties ‘than wan anticipated. More wires have fallen ,to the ground with reiffit that a large number of patrons are without telephone or lighting service. Connections for electric light service were made in some sections of the city yesterday, while in other parts the citizens would have been in total darkness were it not for the flickering blaze of kerosene lamps which were j.» rescued from the debris in the garrett. That the storm we have just had is the most destructive experienced in years is a fact allowing ; no denial. The damage done to beautiful shade and fruit trees alone is almost unfathomable while this is " the lesser of a large number of calamx:t ities which have befallen the citizenship of Decatur and vicinity. Trees which have been conspicuous for their beauty for a decade or more ’ ' have been .rendered all but limbless by the storm which In its deadly i sweep has carried destruction to all s : objects not impervious to the severest : of the weather’s elements. The Citizens’ Telephone company will suffer a loss of at least $2,000 as a result of the storm and unless a cessation of the falling and freezf Ing weather is effected even a greater loss will be entailed. The city, too, will suffer, but it is thought that the loss will not reach an exhorbltant amount. Sorife difficulty is being experienced in the operation of cars f on the Fort Wayne & Springfield interurban. The continued snow falling covers the track as rapidly as it oan " f be removed by a force of workmen *- ■> . > L-rSL.-.L.".' ff '

- and thus the service is greatly Ime paired, notwithstanding the efforts d of those who have been engaged to. e keep the snow. off. Pedestrians hav/ a a difficult task walking to and f/o, e first on account of the projecting t imbs of trees which have bent ufider - their weight until they almost reach i. the ground and secondly, as a consej quence of the soggy snow underfoot. 3 Snow and sleet fell during the greatb er portion of last night and continued 1 this morning. Prospects for imme- ; diate relief are not encouraging and j it is probable that before the storm • is over there will be more loss of t property in the way of damage. Dr. M. F. Parrish, of Monroe, who ; owns the telephony system in and > around that enterprising little town, > has sustained a loss of SI,OOO as a i result of the storm and linemen are • now busy making repairs. _o i The jury was not long in getting • a verdict in the case of State vs. i Johnloz for perjury. The evidence i was all completed Monday evening, and a part of the arguments made, they being completed Tuesday a. m., after which the jury charged and sent out to get a verdict. They reported < soon after through their foreman, < Fred Koldewey, and the verdict read < “We, the jury, find the defendant not i guilty.” Prosecutor Heller made a . game fight, but it was a hard one, i owing to the charge made, that of 1 ptrjury. Johnloz was accused of j perjuring his testimony in regard to i saloon violations in the Keller sa- i loon which is located in this town- i ship, but is easy of access to Mon- ; roe, where it in reality does business. ; 1 Judge J. S. Engle, of Winchester, i

was here Tuesday a. m. and asusmed jurisdiction in the Monroe street ma-1 cafiam road case. The remonstrators auu objectors filed a motion to dis-1 "HW-ttA-Jaocqedlngs. and the petlobjedors. Issues |n tjfie case w be heard <$ n March 12, and at that time the ju<jge will make such rub Ings that will give an idea of wheth-f er the case has any standing or not. Clerk/ Haefllng received from the Wells /ounty officers the costs in the Faylo/ case, the check covering the same/was written for the amount of cost/ in this court only, $1,092.68. As /t will require a great deal of w<A to distribute this money to those b/whom it belongs, it will be a week 1/fore Clerk Haefllng wilt be ready /o pay ft out. ( I A motion was filed tor a continuance in the case of State, vs. Noah Yoder. The motion wsb granted, and the case set for Friday, February 19. ! The defendant defaulted in the case of James F. McGlnnett vs. Harry McGinnett. A finding wa® made for the plaintiff and judgment being given for $367.40. Jesse C. Sutton filed a new case, it being entitled Harry Ci Andrews vs. Cecil, Celia and F. M. Andrews, guardian. It is a suit in partition, and the summons is returnable February 26. William B. iVeldy as guardian for Helen M. Baker, filed a» account current, which was allowed. Martin J. Martin filed a bond in the sum of $2,500 and has taken out letters of administration in the estate of Elizabeth C. Maritn. o I —■ The first public meeting held in the city by the temperance forces was conducted in court room Monday evening, where more than two hundred people, men, women and children, congregated to hear Mr. Waterman, the Kansas City banker, who is touring the country in behalf of the .temperance cause. The address was scheduled i for 7:30 o’clock, but inasmuch as Mr. Waterman had not arrived at that time the Rev. Spetnagle gave a talk with regard to the organization in the county. It was in the midst of this talk that Mr. Waterman arrived at the court room and he

Mo , ' ' wa* Immediately introlcedto the I audience. The Kansas'city banker I centralized hfs talk O n the evils ot the I liquor traffic and the benefits of its I elimination from a community, using L dented sinceWw™ ! have gone out\ He quoted statistics which showed a increase in the building Kansas City , subsequent to the abolition of the * saloons and comparingXKansas City, 1 Kansas, with Kansas City\ Mo., which are divided only by an Imaginary lirip, , he revealed astonishing facts to his , hearers. Probably the most interest- ■. Ing portion of his discourse was the relation of his experience as k banker in the temperance fight, which censed the saloons to cease operation at Kansas City. Mr. Waterman ; said that as soon as the movement , was inaugurated he came out squarely and openly against the saloons, 'and that he delivered speeches! in various parts of the city in behalf of the temperance cause. The nine directors of the bank hearing of hl» i activity, immediately called a meeting and informed him that he musl cease taking a part in the campaign as it would mean the downfall of the bank, stating that it would not be so bad if he was the only one to suffer but they insisted that the stockholders should not suffer as a consequence of his actions. Using his exact words the banker replied “If I cannot do as I think I ought to do as a father, if I cannot do as I think I ought to do as a citizen without this bank going under, I say let her go, and I will have a clear conscience if not a full purse.” The speaker then explained that he was not a Republican, a Democrat, a Socialist, but he was an American citizen and he cjalmed that the campaign should be conducted against the saloons by the citizens as citizens. Referring to the tax question which has risen so conspicuously in this fight he explained why taxes would be lower instead of higher in the absence of saloons. He said that in Kansas City the administration had saved $25,000 per annum in the criminal courts, an exorbitant amount which formerly paid for maintenance of prisoners and he pioduced evidence that the state, county and city tax of Kansas City was $1.35. The speaker evoked much applause from the audience during his address. 1

PUBLIC RIDICULE, frlte Tim* Whan It Served ■■ Punlal*, ’’’•••t For Lawbreaker*. Itlsthe problem of all ages to make they 1 of the man who kept his ■whole fori tune in his house the burglar wa* hanged. But in the same period public ridicule served as a punishment for most crimes, and the man who sold bad meat was placed in the pillory and his bad meat burned to windward of 1 him; the vintner who sold bad wine . was forced to drink some of it and the , rest was poured over his head; for more serious offenses the criminal had to walk along Cheapside bareheaded, | dressed only in a shirt and carrying a wax taper, escorted by the mayor's sergeants. The result was that law and order were maintained far better than when men became brutalized by the horrible floggings of Georgian times. Punishments became worse with religious persecutions, and after the reformation the pillory, with its terrible ] accompaniment of slit ears, whippings, etc., became popular, to say nothing of torturing, burning at the stake, and so en. At St Thomas’ hospital one of th* sisters, “for a grave offense, eontrarie to ye lawe of God add according to the proffe of three wytnessea,” was ' ordered to “be punished and have xil ' strypes well laid on.” But ail this, bad as it was, was lees demeralisteg than the terrible erlmi- , nal code es George IL’s reign, when ( there were forty-eight’erimes punishable by death and forty punishable by whipping, transpertaifoo or pillory. Flogging for mere vagrancy began with Henry VTH., and as la|e as 1804 six women were publlely whipped at Gloucester for ttds unavoidable offense. And never did public morality sink so low. In those good old days we flogged ( our sailormen “to encourage the oth- 1 ers,” and there were many trussed at ■ the triangles who would now be simply admonished. A pleasant form of punishment was “flogging through the fleet” It was given to the ignorant sailorman who struck a superior officer. And when he had been carried from one ship to another and flogged in each he survived—if he was unfortunate—for six months. The lucky man died accidentally.—London Chronicle. Defined. “John," she said, looking up from the paper, “what is a political boomerang?’ “Why, I’d define it” he answered, "as a roorback on the return trip.”— Philadelphia Ledger. !•

A PURL Th* Sett Answer That Was Return** to th* Challenge. Mn. Minnie Walter Myers, fa her Bealtem of the SouthLouisiana, and a Mr. HumbirfYlW, •x-blacksmlth of Georgia, who had become a man of political consequence. Mr. Marigny took offense at some remarks of the Georgian and sent him a challenge. The big ex-blacksmith was nonplused. “I know nothing about this dueling business,” he said. “1 will not fight him” “You must,” said his friend. “Ne gentleman can refuse.” “I am not a gentleman,” replied the honest son of Georgia. “I am only a blacksmith.” “But you will be ruined if you do not fight,” urged his friends. “You will have the choice of weapons, and you can choose so as to give yourself an equal chance with your adversary.” The giant asked time in which to consider the question and ended by accepting. He sent the following reply to M. Marigny: “I accept, and in the exercise of my privilege I stipulate that the duel shall take place in Lake Pontchartraln, in six feet of water, sledge hammers to be used as weapons.” M. Marigny was about five feet eight inches in height, and his adversary was seven feet The conceit of the Georgian so pleased M. Marigny, who could appreciate a joke as well as perpetrate one, that he declared himself satisfied, and the duel did not take place. More Wheat to Come. A Chinese doctor, as a punishment for causing bls patient’s death, had to pay ten loads of wheat While carrying the grain he was met by a man ; who asked him to come and treat a sick member of his family. “All right,” said the doctor, “I will be there shortly, but in the meantime you may be getting your barn cleaned out.”—Scrap Book. D Nothing. “Nature plans well for mankind’s needs.” “I should say so. What could be more convenient than ears to hook spectacles over?’—Washington Herald. The Soft Answer. He—Artists say that five feet four Is the divine height for women. His Darling (crossly)—You know. I am five feet nine. He (quickly)—You are more , than divine, my dear. Laws catch flies and let hornets go free.—Anacharsis.
