Hocker a justice of the peace for Monroe township. A petition wgs filed by Samuel N. Butler for the refunding of taxes and a refunding order was granted him ten the sum of 116.60. A report was filed favorable to the Herman Bellemeyer drain, and the same was ordered constructed. Surveyor Ernst was named as superintendent of construction. o James A. Bircker of rural route five Geneva, must be a nutty sucker and a good subject for the authorities at Easthaven hospital for the Insane. He wrote an eight paged letter to Clerk Haefiing asking his' official help and assistance in ridding hm of the great responsibility of being one ot four delegated to rid Adams county of the Indian and negro. We guess he did a good job all right, for up to date there is none of the color mentioned in our midst. He claims that he was sworn in during the judicial careeer of Judge Heller, and the only way

Cites several bloody battles in which Ihls ’bodyguard and himself wiped the ground—several acres of ground—with the bloody gore of the warlike gentlemen of color. The last battle occurred on the Studabaker lots across the river, and it was a battle worthy of a page in history. Clerk Haefiing has the letter on file, and wm no doubt file It away for raferenoe hy the generations to come. —— . o ' ■■ ■ ■ JOHN WEINLAND AT HOME He Disappeared from Home In Bluffton Last Week. John Welnland, grocer, who left this city suddenly last week, stating that he was going to attend the funeral of his brother’s child, came back to this city las tnlght. At present he is tn a bad physical condition at his home on East Washington street. Mr. of Weihland, would say nothing to any one about the return of hi spartner, while Mr. Welnland’s condition is such that no one is allowed to talk to him about his financial affairs. According to the repprts, however, Welniand was located by his father-in-law and his father and persuaded to come back to this city.—Bluffton Banner.o .... Robert Case, of Magley,. who .recently disposed of his store to Ed Luttman, was in the city Tuesday and prepared to advertise, a sale of real estate preparatory to moving his family to The Case family will leave next Tuesday for the capital’clty and within a few days thereafter they will be at home to their friends on Fairfield avenue. After their arrival at Indianapolis, Mi. Case will immediately begin negotiations for the purchase of the remaining interest in the store in which his son George is a partner and in addition to this he will purchase another store in that city. The two places of business will be conducted by the sons of Mr. Case and the many friends of the family wish for them much success in the venture. Adams county people deplore the fact that this estimable family will leave their midst. The Case family is not only one of the most prominent families in the county, but they have lived here for many years, and have established a warm friendship with their every acquaintance. -The Democrat

i jviuv m Lnenr a prosperous . — „„ „ i A telegram was received in the ’ city Tuesday a. m. from Reiter, North • Dakota, which brought with it the sad ) news that Mrs. Hairy Lefferson, » daughter of Robert Davis had died i in the far off state and that her re- > mains would arrive in Decatur some : time tomorrow. No details were giv--1 en and the relatives have not the • slightest idea of what was responsible fov her death, as she had always been robust. The corpse was shipped from the North Dakota town yesterday. The deceased will be remem- - bered by many Adams county people as will her husband, the latter being tt»e son of J. Lefferson who for many ; years resided in this county. |Mr. - Lefferson Jr., and his wife, left their , home near Salem several years ago for North Dakota for future abode, and after driving there purchased a ! farm. They disposed of the farm i some time ago and expected to move south, the death of the woman stopping such negotiations. The deceased is survived by three children, ' a sister Ida of this city, father Robert Davis, and a multitude of friends. ' i6(o arrangements will be made for the funeral until the body arrives. •■ 1 ■ ■ 6 An instance, the singularity of which warrants its recording, is the travels of a two hundred dollar money order rthir-h last Tux-e rest Decatur bound for.. Turkey, ami which for nine months has been wandering on its weary way, returning to this country but last week. The order was written tn favor Os Earnest Fledderjohann by his brother, W. H. I’ledderjohann and was addressed to Turkey. The young man did not receive the letter and he notified the sender of same. Earnest returned to this country and located at Louisville, Ky. In the meantime a tracer was sent after the order and just last week it was forwarded to his address after being on the road for more than nine months Mr. Fledderjohann returned from the old country last September. While gone he saw much of the country, and while in Turkey he visited a locality which has never in its history been seen by more than twentyfive whte men. He was also at Rome, Italy and Jerusalem and he had the time of his life. He will be in this city this week for a visit with relatives. Mr, Fledderjohann was timekeeper here for the Fort Wayne & Springfield road for. more than a year.

comes up'at this term of cbmmlstSJ ers’ court The total county indebtedness is but |19,000, of which |5,000 is refunding bonds and >14,000 county infirmary bonds. The-report shows a totatl of sevqntyflve macadam roads on the tax duplicates, they being under the process of payment. The total township indebtedness for this purpose is 1467,024.94. It is a mighty good report showing a careful management of the affairs of Adams county. Among the county officers reports, is the following made by Clerk Haef- ? ling: Civil cases, $241.82; probate,! $150.80; criminal, $15.60; marriage licenses $112; other licenses >3; transcripts >29.50; certificates $15.60; insurance $5.50; total >573.82. The report covers the time from Decern-j ber 1 to March 1. H. 8. Steele as county recorder, makes a similar report, which shows recording deeds, # >205.25; mortgages $220.70; other instruments >64.80; miscellaneous >38.50; total >529.25. o The Jim Touhey fund is boosting along, the last to add their mite toward the cause of real charity was the Knights of Columbus, one of the strong secret organizations of the city. The total as published today shows >304.25, not a bad showing for the charity giving people of Decatur. The fund should still be increased, as the word from the hospital bedside of the afflicted man, indicates that ; with the proper medical attention he has a show to walk, and when youi think of it, the only pleasure left him was to walk the streets for a few hours daily, greet his friends in that cheery way, as none other but Jim Touhey could. The Democrat is not asking and is not entitled to any credit for this fund. It belongs tq the charity giving people who subscribed it, and this office is but the means of conveyance between the giver and the afflicted Jim Touhey. 1 Any one who cares to join the hosts that want; to help Jim Touhey are invited to. consign any sum they care to to : this fund. The family are hoping i against hope that the news from his attendants will be good news, and every mother’s son in DecaAir are wishing the same thing. The seed corn special train operated over the Erie lines by the rall-i road company and the Purdue univer- ( sity agricultural experiment station left this city this morning for Preble •

after an educating lecture was delivered by J. P. Davis of Hamilton scanty for the purpose of arousing interr > est among corn growers and disseminating information pertaining to corn i improvement in Indiana. The train which was in charge, of Louis Jacksen, industrial commissioner of the Ere railroad company, stood on the main track in the city for forty-five minutes, during which time Mr. Davis addressed a large number of Washington township farmers and Decatur citizens as well. He centralized his talk on the essentiality of selectting good seed corn from sylindricaH ’ears which held their shape from tip |to end. In part he said: Four million acres of the best soil in Indiana is planted in corn each year, and the average ctppd scarcely ever exceeds seventy per cent, hence one million I acres, have been used without produc'tlon. The farmers are not particular enough in the selection of seed corn. Seed corn should be selected as soon as the ears are matured and it should be tested. The speaker then demonstrated how the corn can be tested. Every farmer present was delighted with the excellent lecture which enlightened them on many details tn regard to corn raising. The experimental station is doing much to arouse interest among corn growers and the efficient way in which it is being done is appreciated by all. The train will visit the following places today: Preble, Tocsin, Kingsland, Uniondale, Markle, Simpson, Bippus. Ser via, Bolivar, HuntiustOu. '• ».—. - o.WANT THE T. P. A. CONVENTION r ' Fort Wayne Wants the Next Meeting of this Organization. When J. A. Russell and John Watt go to Evansville this summer as the local delegates to the state convention of the Travelers’ Protective assoI elation, they will go instructed to use every effort to land the 1910 gathering .for Fort Wayne. Now that the city has superior hotel advantages, the : reluctanec always heretofore manifested in bringing state gatherings here is unnecessary and it is thought the travelers will not be averse to meeting here. A definite campaign toward fals end will be inaugurated at a smoker to be held by Post A on March 20th. At that meeting the new iset of officers chsoen last Saturday ■ evening will be incharge.—Fort Wayne .Sentinel. ■ ' o—__ ; JJSJSSESSBSSEEBE22SBBSSSSBES2SSB! ii^?’??! ?
