SOLD FINE PAIR OF SORRELB •/> Andrew Fuelling ‘Got the Candy for a Fine Pair of Horses Today. Andrew Fuelling brought a hand* some* pair of sorrel horses to the city Tuesday and sold them for a gilt edge price to D. W. Beery. They weighed two thousand seven hundred pounds and were a pretty sight to look at, the purchaser paying $425 for them. Mr. Fuelling raises some mighty fine horses and every year pulls off twb or three stunts like the one today. It Is a money making proposition for him and besides that he likes the business.

The remohstrators won in the Monroe street fight, and as a consequence the improvement of that street as petitioned for, will not be made. It was a hard legal battle, which has been on since last September. The remonßtrators were represented by Attorneys Peterson & Moran and the petitioners by C. L. Walters, A. P. Beatty and Hooper & Lenhart The case was entitled Jane Woods et al*, ex parte and followed the filing of a petition for a new macadam road and curb on Eighth and West Monuroe streets, the latter extending to the cemetery. Shortly after the case had reached circuit court here a change of judge was necessary, Judge Merryman being disqualified owing to the fact that he was related to some of the parties interested and Judge Engle of Winchester was appointed. Later the remonstrators took a change from the county and the case was sent to the circuit court at Fort Wayne. The trial and arguments required several days, being taken up at odd times when the court could arrange it. The arguments were made Monday and Judge O'Rourke ruled for the remonstrators. There were several points brought up by the attorneys, the one however, upon which the court decided the case was that this improvement being a highway, and the costs exceeding the benefits, came under the head of public utilities and could not be built by the township. In giving &b declds>n he said he had personally gone over the road on which the proposed improvement is asked, and that while there are about three squares which need repairing, the rest is in gopd condition, and that it would be wrong to build nearly a mile to correct the small tract of bad road or street. The costs in the case, amounting to about >275, will have to be paid by the petitioners, there being about sixty-five signers to the original petition. The estimated cost of the Improvement was >19,000.

J. Frank Mann, of< Muncie, attorney for the plaintiffs in the case of The Aluncie Lodge, No. 64, I. O. O. F. vs. Clayton B. Templer, filed in the local circuit court on change of venue, the papers in the case, arriving Monday morning. The case involves the possession of three rooms in the southwest corner of a building owned by the Muncie Lodge, which the defendants refuses to give over to the plaintiffs. The complaint avers that on December 20, 1909, the lodge leased to Templer for a period of five years the three rooms at a monthly rental of >16.66, payable in advance. The lease further provided another lease should he fail to pay by the first, of the month, the next month’s rent. If he failed to do this the lease was to be declared forfeited. The plaintiff failed to pay the said installment on March 1 and also on April Ist, 1909, and that at the time of the filing of the complaint in the Delaware circuit court, there was due the lodge >35,00 in rent money. The plaintiff served notice on Templer April 2nd that they desired the rooms vacated' but he has refused to surrender and that through the delay they have been damaged in a sum amounting to >SO and asked for this amount in addition to the surrender of the rooms.—Portland Daily Sun. — Although) everything is being done to hurry work on the Hpme for the Aged that the Methodists are going to build in Warren, it is doubtful if William Chopson, the giver of the funds by which the home can be built, will ever see the time when he can gaze upon the memorial that will honor him and his devoted wife in years to come. Mr. Chopson is very ill and rapidly failing and it is a question whetner the memorial can be built before he passes away. His health has been bad a number of months but recently there seems to be no way by which he can be kept from gradually sinking into a more serious condition. Mr. and Mrs. Chopson have \ already become the most beloved couple of the Methodist tehurch. Because of their devotion to the prlncilpes upon

which the doctrines of Methodism are founded, they have seen the benefits iof living Christian lives. They realize that they have been more fortunate In the affairs of life than some others of their brethren and sisters and It Is because they want to share their prosperity and happiness with all those who have been less fortunate that they conceived the idea of building the home for all aged Methodists who want to enter the institution. That all honor might be paid to the two to whom honor is due, all Methodist churches In Indiana devoted Sunday’s serviced to the memorial and to the praise of Mr. and Mrs. Chopson. The fact that the aged gentleman’s condition is such that his life may close at any time, caused many prayers to be offsrred that he may be saved until the golden moment comes when he can look upon the memorial and say to those who built It, "Well done, thou good and faithful servants.’* —Huntington Times. v °i

■ '.JI- 1- ■ S=S!SL-gL The building committee for the < Knights of Pythias lodge and club house let the contract for the same, and work upon the excavation will begin tomorrow and be pushed to completion. The (foundation and brick work was given to Hammond & Aurand, and the carpenter work to Mann & Christen, the total of these two contract being >9,200. The building will be of red brick, with slate and tile rooffing and when completed and furnished it will cost between >IO,OOO and >II,OOO and be tne handsomest building of its kind in the state. A handsome porch and steps will adorn the front, and the first floor will be comprised of a ladies’ and gent’s parlor separate, smoking room, dining room and kitchen. The second floor will be the lodge room, 40x47 with a balcony that will seat two or three hundred The second floor will also have a large wardrobe with private lockers, and a pool and billiard room. The basement will later be fixed for gymnasium and bowling. This handsome building will be located on their lot on Third street next to the Murray hotel, and will be a modern and handsome structure in every way. It is now proposed to rush the building and have it ready for occupancy by the first of December, and at that time to dedicate it by the iniatiation of a class of one hundred. As the Decatur Knights are about the busiest and best lot of boosters in the town; there is no doubt but that they will carry out the program to the letter. The least that the Democrat can do at this time is to congratulate the Knights for their progress and enterprise. The order is made up almost entirely of the younger business men of the city, and this building is but an example of what pluck and enterprise will do. The committee have spent much time in sifting things to the bottom and in getting the best ideas into their new lodge and club home. The plans were drawn by Architect Oscar Hoffman.

Washington, June 29—Representative J. A. M. Adair of Indiana may navigate the air with the Wrights m their aeroplane. Mr. Adair says he has long been anxious to ‘make a trip in an airship, and he hopes the distinguished sky pilots, Orville and Wilbur Wright, will permit him to accompany them on one of their trips while they are giving tests at Ft. Myer. He went out to Ft. Myer yesterday afternoon to see the aviators fly and to request that they permit him to accompany them on a later flight Owing to the fact that they were so much preoccupied with arrangements for a flight he did not have an opportunity to communicate his desire, but will do so later. “It has always been one of my ambitions,” said Mr. Adair, “to see what the earth would look like from an elevation of half a mile to a mile. I am sure that I would not be in’the least nervous or affrighted. I have been on some of the highest mountains in America and never suffered the slightest, either from fear or physical inconvenience. Mr. weighs only 138 pounds, and the aviators undoubtedly would regard him with more favor as a prospective passenger than they would a heavy man. The fact that he is a member of congress might be another inducement, as the aeronauts are naturally desirous of interesting congress, in their invention. Ail of the members of congress—senators and representatives —today received invitations from the Wrights to witness their performances. These invitations were accompanied by tickets entitling the solons to the best positions from which to view the flying machine in action. Senator Shively and nearly all the Indiana representatives who are in Washington went to Ft Myer yesterday afternoon to see the aeronauts perform, but there was no ascension.

Indianapolis, Ind., June 28.—Some six hundred incorporated towns in the state which have not yet achieved the - distinction of being called pities, and therefore are controlled by a special town act of the general assembly ot 1909, are in a quandary as to how to , elect their trustees this fall, and incidentally are denouncing the members of the general assembly for carelessness in phrasing the law. The office of the attorney general has been appealed to by a mimber of towns for construction of the new law, but the reply has been, in all instances, that there is no power in the state to construe the law except the supreme court, and that although the law as printed seemingly means nothing at all, nevertheless It is the law. The measure provides that town trustees shall be elected this fall, one from each ward, and that in towns which have “an even number of trustees, one-half of the persons of any such town that receive the highest number of votes at the rgeular election in 1909 shall be regarded as elected thereto (the office of trustee) for a period of four years and the other halt for a period of two years, and in towns having an uneven number of trustees, one less than one-half of

such trustees . receiving the highest number of votes shall serve for four years and the remainder for two years.” —o ■ - “We are now looking forward to getting gas to Decatur consumers in thirty days,” said Manager S. E. Mulholland, of the Indiana Lighting company this morning. “The pipe-laying gang has practically arrived at Kingsland with the four-inch main which is to carry the gas from Fort Wayne and it will now swing eastward to Cover the thirteen miles between this point and Decatur. Unless unforseen difficulties arise, we shall be supplying artificial gas to the Adams county capital in four weeks.” Recent heavy rains have given the company considerable trouble in Fort Wayne. The excessive downpour has resulted in water soaking down into the drips in the mains, often In such quantity as to Interfere with the flow of gas. There are hundreds of these drips about the city, and as rapidly as possible they are being pumped out. In this city the company is connecting up an average of from forty to fifty new consumers daily, a force of twenty-five men being constantly employed at the work. —Fort Wayne Sentinel. —————o MOTION IS OVERRULED For New Trial in Amacher Ditch Case —Will Go to the Supreme Court. Judge O’Rourke of the Allen county circuit court, Monday decided anther chapter in the famous Amacher ditch case when he overruled a motion for a new trial in the suit for a new trial.' The case is entitled Amacher et al vs. Johnson, and has been through about all the imaginable turns of court Now it is said attorneys for the plaintiff will appeal the case again to the supreme court and test the question of a suit for a new trial. It is also said there are complication in the other case of a similar nature which went to the supreme court and was sustained.

RICH RED BLOOD. Means Rosy Cheeks, Clear Complexion, Bright Eyes and Plenty of Energy. What does rich, red blood mean? It means brains, vitality, ambition, hopefulness, persistency and everything worth living for.
