I first essential to street Improvement. I The improvement of Adsms also Ift* I eludes Mercer avenue, and If there is a street needed in all Decatur It is Mercer avenue. There is much travel and consldrable heavy hauling .du that thoroughfare, and if it was ever macadamized It falls to show it at this time. The new street calls for curbing and macadam along the line of all such streets and public roads Os this nature. It is the intention of the contraet&r to push this work apd to build the entire work as stipulated in his contract just as fast as good weather and a fat pay roll will permit. Some of the property owners along the street mentioned above are talking seriously and perhaps will present to the city council a petition asking these city officials to brick or otherwise improve these streets just as soon as the work now being done Is. complete. An investigation of the merits of bltulithlc has been asked by some of those Interested, but whether thia investigation is made or not, the Democrat is of the opinion that there is but one sort of pavement that should be used, and that is brick. You may talk about asphalt, bltulithlc and other pavements, but Decatur’s experience with brick and her knowledge of the experience of other neighboring cities with other kinds of paving, should settle for all time to come that brick is the best paving used, and that Decatur had acted with wisdom in using it upon all "her Improved streets. — o —■ —* The name of Sarah C.

The suit comes to Huntington county from the Allen circuit) court, where it was filed January 5, 1909, the change to this county being on a motion for a change made by the defendant company. This suit is brought by Frank Beckman, administrator of the estate of Mary Beckman, also hpsband of the decedent, and alleges that> he and his children have been damaged to the extent of i SIO,OOO by an accident befalling Mrs. Beckman and resulting in her death : November 19, 1908. It Is recited in i the complaint that Mrs. Beckman on i the day of the accident was driving a I family horse along the highway and i was accustomed to driving. The i ■horse, accustomed to electric cars, f was frightened by the smoke and : racket of a steam engine, which was pulling the train that day and so acted as to cause injury to Mrs. i Beckman, who, after extended medical • attendance, died In fourteen months, as an alleged result of the injuries [sustained by her nervous system. I Harper & Eggeman file the suit, which has already had extensive attention :in the courts of Allen county, .as I evidenced by the demurrers, amended pompaalnts, etc., accompanying the original complaint ffn fact indications are that the case is at issue and the only thing now desired Is a fair and Impartial hearing by a Huntington county jury.—Huntington , Herald. o Word has been received from J. M. Buck, of this city, the handle manufacturer, and Preston Orr, of Redkey, who left ten days ago for a trip through the south, that they have invested in property at Cottagepdrt, Texas, and from what is gleaned from letters to his family here it is understood that both gentlemen expect to erect summer homes In the south.

Struck by Train—Was Brother of J. H. Hardison of Geneva. The following dispatch which appeared in the Record-Herald recently .gives a short account of the tragic death of a brother of Uncle Jimmie Hardison, of Geneva: Los Angeles, April 10.—W. L. Hardison, vice president of the Columbia Oil Producing company of this city, formerly principal owner of the Los Angeles Herald and at one time one of the wealthiest citizens of Los Angeles, was instantly killed at Roscoe, a-Southern Paciflc slding, today, when the motor car which he was driving collided with a light engine. The collision occurred at) a crossing where the view was obscured by the roadside. The machine was demolished. Mr. Hardison was about sixty years of age. —.— NEW CLOVER LEAF OPERATORS Austin Straub and H. F. Majors Sent to the Frankfort Office. There has been an entire change of the operators force at the Clover Leaf station in this city and as a result, the two men there, Austin Straub and H. F. Majors have received promotions, both being sent to the office at Frankfort. These young men are capable and have been most faithful and efficient and the promotion will be received with pleasure by their many friends. Their places here will be filled by P. H. Wagoner and R. E. Ballmeyer. The change took place last week. _ ’ o The cause of Rev. Charles B. Wilcox vs. Elsie D. Wilcox, asking for a divorce, was heard before Judge Merryman on last Thursday afternoon. The case required but a few mihutes, during which Rev. Wilcox told his story in a very simple manner. Mrs. Wilcox did not appear and there was nothing in the least sensational about the affair. Statutory cause for a divorce was given and the court announced that he would grant the decree, but took the matter under advisement for a few days until evidence had been given him that the alimony had been satisfactorily arranged. This it is said is but a matter of form,-the financial part having been agreed to by the parties interested. Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox were married at Richmond September 23, 1896, and lived together until last November, though they had been separated for short periods on two former occasions. At present Dr. Wilcox is in the newspaper business at St. Louis, Michigan, and Mrs. Wilcox is living with a brother at Richmond. WP'— " -O — OIL PROPERTY WAS SOLD TODAY Receiver McCray Disposes of Leases and Tods on Large Property. Lawyer Abe Simmons, of Bluffton, conducted a sale at the east door of the court house last Saturday, and' proved as successful as an auctioneer as he is as an attorney. The property sold consisted of a large number of lease on property in Adams, Wells and Jay counties, on which are located a number of oil wells, also the derricks, tools, etc., that go with such a property. There were several bidders on the ground, the successful one being a Mr. Bell, who ottered s4>000, and will assume a mortgage of about $5,200 held by Messrs. Briggs and McCray. John W. McCray has served as receiver of the property for six months past ——(V Alta Christman, of Montpelier, will have to forego the pleasure of enjoying a quleS smoke in her cell in the eounty Jail at Hartford City, as Sheriff damme has confiscated the necessary articles, consisting of a clay pipe and a twlsS of extra strong tobacco, which were sent to the woman, along with a suitcase full of clothing by relatives.

MR.FLANDERB LEAVES FOR MICH. Has- Purchased a Big 600-Acre Farm There, Davimahdefs, one of the best known farmers of Adams county, left Saturday for Sanford, Michigan, near where he has purchased a 600 acre farm. He was accompanied by Homer King, who will manage the big Michigan plantation. They will proceed to put in the proper crops and expect to reap a rich harvest the first year. Mrs. Flanders will join her husband later, but does not expect to remain there long as they will retain their.home in this county. They have rented their farm in Union township, but retain the house, so they can live here or in Michigan as they desire. o BERNE HANDBOME‘T4EW CHURCH Will Construct a $35,000 House of Worship Next Year. The Berne Witness says: At a special business meeting of the Mennqnite congregation 3 here last Tuesday for ways and means relative to the building zi <_ ’ new church, filed its report, which, with a few minor changes, was accepted. The congregation also decided unanimously to build next year (1910). Two architects who had previously submitted their preliminary sketches for a new church to the committee,, appeared before the congregation and exhibited and explained their respective plans. The first one, Architect W. R .Brown, of Chicago, exhibited blue prints of his style of church architecture. Mr. Brown is considered one of the most noted church architects in the country, having been the architect of 267 churches of the most modern and Improved type'in. all parts of the United States. The general plan of his church is approximately that of a quadrant of a circle, allowing indefinite expansion in the direction of the arc. With the pulpit placed at the apex of the puadrant the auditorium extends In the direction of the quarter circle. Beyond this and in the same general direction from the pulpit is the Sunday school auditorium. Each of these auditoria Is surmounted by a dome with a skylight Besides these auditoria there is a prayer meeting room and other smaller rooms. The church and Sun-day-school auditoria and the prayer meeting room can all be thrown together by opening the sliding partitions, uniting them into one vast auditorium such as is needed for special occasions. One great advantage of this plan is, that every person in the audience is directly facing the preacher on the pulpit without turning in his seat. His plan at once found great favor with those present The second architect appearing before the congregation was Henry W. Meyer, of Fort Wayne. Although appearing to be a comparatively young'man yet he has made plans for a great many large churches. His type is the cross or cathedral plan. He explained his sketches at considerable length and laid great stress on solidity of construction and on acoustics. The plans presented by the twa architects provide each for a church costing about s3s,o6hand seating about 2,000 people. The, congregation took no definite action oh ei|Jier plan, but Instructed the committee to solicit further, more definite fetches adapted to Its specific needs from these two and other architects, and also Instructed the committee to make trips to cities to visit churches of large capacity and modem equipment
