c. s or the farmers 1 institute, and who is responsible for the boys’ corn growing contest, mention of which has previously been made, wants all the boys in Adams county to thoroughly understand and to enter the contest. The following rules will govern, and if there is anything not clear, write to the county chairman, whose address will be found below: The Rules. On account of some misunderstanding I wish to repeat some of the rules governing the boys’ com growing contest First—All boys wishing to enter the contest must notify the county chairman not later than May 20th, and pay a membership fee of 15 cents. (I will notify you when to pay.. Now remember, if you want to work for a prize you must be a member of the club, so send me your name at once or you will not be in it. Second—The boys must grow the com themselves, except that the ground may be plowed by an older person. But the preparing of the soil planting, tending and harvesting must be done by the boy himself or by his management. Third—Any sized plot of ground may be used but one-quarter acre is generally suggested. I Fourth—Each boy must secure his own seed corn as the crop when grown will belong to him and not to the club. Fifth—A report of the yield per acre and an exhibit of a sample of the com must be made at the far-1 mers’ Institute next winter when the prizes will be awarded on these two classes—yield and quality. Now, all boys wishing to compete must observe the foregoing rules. • - C. 8. MUMMA, County Chairman. Telephone 10G, R. R. 12, Decatur. . '■ ' o — FIRE AT BADDERB SALOON ' Blaze Was Discovered Before Any 1 Serious Damage Was Done. A blaze started in the room at the rear of the Badders saloon on Monroe street at 1 o’clock Tuesday afternoon. Had it not been for the fact that it was discovered early, the fire might have been a very disastrous i one as the building and surroundings form a regular fire trap. Two or three > boxes were ablaze when noticed, and ' these were soon thrown out and before any serious damage was done.

The Wemhoff Monumental Works, of this city .Tuesday received an order from Mrs. W. L. Middleton, of 465 Manhattan avenue, New York c’ty, the monument to be erected over the grave of her father, Mr. Jamison, at Hoagland, north of here. Mrs. Middleton is a practicing physician in New York, and is a sister of Dr. Jamison, who many years ago had an office in this city. The father died about six weeks ago in New York and the remains were brought to his old home, Hoagland, for interment While passing through Decatur, Mrs. Middleton, who is a student of the stone art, noticed the work of the Wemhoff company, and realizing the fact that it is up to date and as good as is found anywhere in the east, she sent the order for the monument which will mark her father’s grave. No doubt many Decatur people will remember the Jamisons, who years ago were a very prominent family In this locality. They have won fame since going to the east o Although he does not claim to be fresh from the western plains, Amos Fisher, night policeman, pulled off a stunt at the stone quarry Monday evening which would cause a real cow puncher to turn his head in shame. A gang of gypsies had quartered in the ! hollow near the old stone quarry and had with them a number of blind horses. One of the unfortunate ani- . mals was turned loose, and while 'grazing about fell into the quarry. The officer was notified and he hastened to the scene. Seeing the sad plight of the horse Fisher secured a rope, and standing twenty feet distant he lassoed it on.-the first trial The animal was dragged to the shore but the men were unable to get ft upon the bank. They notified the ' fertilizer company and their wagon | was dispatched to the scene in time to relieve the horse from its perilous position a few minutes before it fell cold and lifeless upon the ground. In spite -of the heroic efforts of the policeman, the horse’s life could not be J spared. ■ o—- ! | Ralph Cowan returned to his home at Fort Wayne today. The homes of George Steele and ’ Louis Wise on Fifth street are nearly ' completed and will soon be ready for , occupancy. >| Miss Clara Zeaser returned to Ko- [ komo on the noon train, after a visit .I at the home of her father, Peter Zeaser, east of the city.
