INVENTOR TO GO TO ASYLUM Peter Hack, Once Worth $500,000, Declared Insane by Commission. * Laporte, Ind., Feb. 22.-—Formerly the possessor of a $500,000 estate and an Inventor of considerable note, Peter Hack, 86 years old, and the father of six children, today was adjudged insane by a. commission in Justice* Snook’s court and will be taken to tire asylnm at Logansport In his early years the man made a remarkable record as an . Inventor and is generally known in connection with the “Haek” pump. In an effort. to Obtain patents, Hack lost the larger part of his fortune, and of Igte yeal-s hip mind has shown the effects of incessant work. He suffers from the delusion that some one is trying to steal something from him, be It only a kerchief, and occasionally declares his life is in peril' — 0 ■■••■»— At noon a heavy vote had been polled in every precinct in the city, First Ward “A” -reported 121, “B” 103; Second Ward “A" 176, “B” 100; Third Ward “A” 160, “B” 156. This is a record breaker and denotes a heavy vote in the city. At Berne over three hundred votes had been . polled and this is nearly three-fourtlm of the total vote there. At Linn Grove they reported that there would be but forty or fifty votes wet out of a total vote of 175. Geneva and Monroe both reported a heavy vote, the most of it coming out early this morning. The Democrat will make the effort to get the returns as far as it is possible. This City and two country, precincts, North Monroe, Berne, Gefieva, and perhaps Linn Grove can be reach-' ed. All this will give a forecast of

what the result will be, and that will be the best that perhaps can be attained tonight. However, we will make ererv effort possible, but the chaotic condition of the rural telephone service will handicap our good intention. The Democrat will be open to every one -who cares to copie, ' and those who cannot may feel free to call by telephone as often as you ■ may like. — o The Maude Willis company was all that was claimed for it and more, when it showed at the Bosse opera house last night under the auspices of the senior class of the Decatur high school. The members of the Company acquitted themselves grandly, and the large audience present was more than pleased with the entertainment so ably given. The music was great, it was Inspiring. The high school students are to be congratulated upon their ability to secure such a-, high class attraction for the Decatur public. The senior class reaped a god reward for their efforts as the receipts aggregate about SBO. This money will be used in defraying the expenses of members of the senior class in their graduating exercises to be held in the near future. The public responded nobly and gave the students their loyal support in the effort. It was *right that they should. If there is any one who is deserving of the support of the people it is the student who is struggling for an education. The senior class and all other classes of the high school and the common grades can rely upon the citizens-for aid in their undertakings which are right. ■■ —o Manufacturers of goods coming in competition with prison-made goods

The bill provided that the assessors receive 35 cents foreach property list made, and $2.50 a day for each day spent in real estate appraisement. The bill would reduce the compensation of the assesssors. — Definite provisions are made for the construction of township line roads under the Kistler bill, passed yesterday. The bill requires that at least fifty freeholders of the townships affected shall petition the commissioners, and the latter arS so decide the merits of the question.

Why that petition for a local option election in Blackford county. Workers for the antbsaloonlsts, 150 strong, are now as busy as bees canvasing the county with a petition which will be presented to the board of commissioners at its regular March meeting. The movement has been anticipated for several weeks and while the “dry” forces have been quietly working their sudden activity occasions no surprise. To be deemed sufficient the petition must bear the signatures of not less than twenty per cent of the aggregate vote cast in the county for secretary of state at the last general election. The total vote for secretary of state at the last election was 4,2i0 and 20 per cent of that number amounts to 842/ the number necessary.—-Hartford City News. w — CHOLERA SPREADS TO 10,000 St. Petersburg, Feb. 22.—The cholera, which ha snow been epidemic here for 16 Odays, today reached the ten-thousand-mark.

Wl L RY NEWYORK WOULD, I To Extradite Mr. PuJtlzer First and Then Delavan Smith. Washington, Feb. 22.—Spencer F. I Eddy, Senator Beveridge’s brother-ln-i law, is here. It was reported here i today that the government will make > its attempt to extradite Joseph Pulitzer and bls subordinates on the ' New York World before it proceeds ( with the extradition battle in Indlan- : aiolis and Chicago against Charles . R. Williams and Delavan Smith, of , the Indianapolis Npws. If this should i prove to be the government’s plan, 1 proceedings in Indianapolis and Chi- , cago might be delayed for several , days. District Attorney Baker, when i seen tonight, said he had just re-, ■ turned to the city, after being gone ■ several days, atod was not prepared to say what course the government n.ay follow. .. o The nine Berne men who, February tenth, were selected by the members! of the Mennonlte church to secure es-1 timates on the cost of construction and preferrable location of the pro- • posed new church have met several times and have disposed of a goodly ' portion of the business. During the : various sessions the most important question in the regard to the building was thoroughly discussed, and that was the location for the structure. After due consideration they decided that the northespt corner of the church lot would be an ideal place with the front of the building facing the brick street. The committee has sent a communication to a great architect in Cincinnati who makes a business of drawing plans for churches,, asking for plans for the church and an answer is expected at any time, after which plans for a furtherance of the proposition will be definitely made. ‘ That the proposed edifice will be the most spacious in the county and the most beautiful, is an assured fact, and the members of the church will do all in their power to push the matter of constructing same to comple-1 tfon. The committee is preparing to make a report to the congregation, which will no doubt be made in the near future. o The only demonstration on /the streets today mentionable was a dog fight, which occurred on the corner "of Second and Madison streets. The animals were separated before much damage to either was done.
