1 i, i;iii ■—■ The rain was made to order. It fell Wednesday In just the right’quantity and at Just the right time, to suit the fair management. It cleared the atmosphere. laid the dtfst and made conditions just right for the big day at the fair. The crowd Thursday began coming,early and at ten o’clock the crowd on the grounds was almost equal to that of former years. It was a good jnat u red crcwd, who are there to enJopr every opportunity given them today and they win be many. The interurbans brought in packed cars every hour and the north and south bound ft. R. & I. trains were loaded I with e»:ui-slonists. A big delegation came fr<*n the south part of the county, Berth In particular and headed 1/ \ / -

I by the band from that place. The r crowds from the east and west,! } that is those who did not drive in, will • be here on the noon Erie and Clover ■ Leaf trains. " i t Soldiers Enjoyed Wednesday. r The old soldiers day at the fair was c a big' success for the veterans, each t of whom seemed to enjoy themselves, i for all there was in it The reunion > was a happy affair and the program i ( rendered in the grandstand during the • afternoon wa? a pleasureable event. * • The principal address was delivered i by Attorney David E. Smith of this I city, who proved equal to the occasion, i and his remarks were just Hie kind ' { for the occasion, pleasing the veterans I immensely and he was cheered by the i ■ '-s&’SiM.x * sSft -I- „•

D.„ Is there when It comes to public I speaking, and he never rails to respond I In, the right fashion, whenever and I wherever he may be called upon. This was Berne's Day at Fair. I A delegation of many hundred came I from Berne Thursday to attend Great I Northern. They were accompanied by the band trom that prace, who gave a short concert on the streets and at nine o’clock proceeded to the grounds where,'they furnished the music during the day and they produced the Inspiring kind that every one likes to hear, especially on holiday occasions. The boys are ail right and so are all the other residents of the busy capital of Monroe township. They, always do their share., THE RACES. The racing feature of the 1909. fair is without question the big part of the show, and it’s a dandy. We feel safe in saying that this year’s racing is the finest ever seen on the local tracks. The starting judg'e is William Farrer, of Peru, a thorough horseman and a courteous gentleman. He was assisted by A. P. Beatty, D. E. Smith and Dr. J. C. Grandstaff as Judges, and D. W. Beery, Dr. J. M. Miller and John T. Myers. Dr. D. D. Clark is the speed superintendent and the fact that he has worked hard is evidenced from the fact that races are all interesting and every heat a race. The first race on the Wednesday program was the 2:23 trot, in which there were six starters, and which was won in straight heats by Bina, owned by the Abdallah Stock Farm, with Poet S. second and Early Ola third, every heat being closely contested.. The result: 2:23 Trot—Purse $300.. Bina 11 I—l Poet 5....2 3 4—2 ■ Early Ola 5 4 2—3 | Spot L. 4 2 6—4 I Pharoah 6 6 4 I Best time—2:23%. ' I The most exciting race of the day I was the 2:18 pace for a S3OO purse and I which required five heats for compleI tion, the first money being finally takI en by Rex S. It was a race all the I time with every one of the five startI ers at all times after the cash. Rex S. I took the first, fourth and fifth heats, | while the second and third were capI tured by Sir Acoler. The latter made I a great get-away on the last heat, I but broke at the first quarter and asI ter that could not overcome the lead. I The summary: I 2:18 Pace—Purse S3OO. I Rex S. 1 2 2 1 I—l I Sir Acoler 411 2 5—2 I Waneta R. 5 4 A 3 2—3 , May Anderson 2f 5 5 5 4 —4 Nellie Almont 3 3 3 4 3— Best time—2:l7%. The running race altiq® furnished amusement for those who love to see the jumpers leave the post There were but four but they were bunched and the spectators held their breath as the boys clung to the ponies necks and whipped for dear life. Belle of Rooaford wpn, with Gena, owned by the lady driver, second, and it took three heats to settle it. The summary: Five-eighths Mlle Run.

Mr. Bierie has been in I the undertaking business at Berne for more than a year and since beI coming identified with Leitchy Brothers he will not abandon business in I that town. He will handle the Monroe business from Berne and Will not change his residence consequently. All members of the new firm are well known to the public. Liechty BrothI ers are the owners of the popular i hardware store at Monroe and they I will, of course, retain this. Their many friends wish for them much success in the new business venture. , The public schools will open one week next Monday and at pres- s I ent writing the janitors are getting .the various ward and central building in condition for the army of scholars, who will invade the different i classes at that time. ‘ The school (board have everything in readiness and it is expected that everything will move off like clock work on this I important day. Many a Decatur < youngster is putting in good licks in, 1 finishing the last of a delightful va-;i cation. Many of them are with their t parent at some of the pleasure re- t sorts, and others are engaged in other t ways in spending the days that seem < altogether too short ) ■—— ' J i Prof. W. E. Rice has moved to the i city and by the appointed time will l

be familiar with the course of study < as outlined, and will also hate in mind many other things that will take his time and thought during the next year. He is a young man, thoroughly experienced in the work, and will doubtless work hard to make the Decatur schools even better. In doing this he will have the united Support of the people of thia city, all of whom are interested in the progress of the Decatur public schools. o — On August 19, 1909, occurred the reunion of the Carter family in a pleasant grove near Wren, Ohio. At 9 o’clock friends and relatives began to arrive, and by 11 o’clock pver.loo were greeting each other, some not having met for years. In fact it was a reunion in the true sense of the word. While some of the family were not present on account of sickness and various other caused, yet;, one need only be present to enjoy and appreciate the hearty good will and accord manifest on such occasions. At high noon a dinner was served, whjlch would have done honor to kings. After dinner an interesting program was rendered in which Rev. F. H. B. Teeple, Erastus Carter and N. R. Carter and others spoke in a manner pleasing to all present At tjie close of the program the following officers and committees were chosen: President, C. 8. Walters; vice president, Adwin Hawk; secretary, Bertha Carter; treasurer, Harvey Brittson; Corresponding secretary, Mrs. C. 8. Walters; historian, N. R. Carter. ! Arrangement committee: Willis Wagers, w. F. Bower, Wm. Carter. 1 Program committee: N. R. Carter, Nina Medaught Hila Bowen. Press comsdttee:' A. W. Gulick. • Memorial committee: F. H. B. TeeI Pie. I <At the close the friends bid eack other good bye hoping many more such meetings might be in store for them. r — o— I At the present time there is much . contention over the vehicle license ' ordinance which for the past year has > been enforced in the city of Decatur - and obviously a test case will grow out cf the affair within the next few weeks at most. It will be remember- j - ed that one year ago an ordinance > Imposing a license fee of ten dollars became effective. Draymen and bus - and baggage owners were compelled to pay to the city the above stated amount before they could operate their wagons and they were to re-, L ceive protection. A number of the j teamsters are now contending, as J their licenses expire, that some men I have hauled goods, etc., without a license, and have gone ‘ unprosecuted. They therefore aver that they will not [ take out another license until a new i system is established. Meanwhile i two teamsters at least have been > stopped during the past few days from • hauling goods and one of these after having loaded his wagon was com- , pelled to unload It. The indignant ones are protesting to the authorities. However, the city officers have no i knowledge of the unlicensed teamsters, and the only thing seemly is for those who know of the Infringements to make reports. o ——— ARE HOME FROM SEATTLE $ W. H. Eichhorn and Wife Attend Prison Congress. W. H .Eichhorn returned Tuesday night from Seattle, where he and Mrs. Eichhorn and son, Frederick, and Miss , Anderson went to visit the fair and _> where Mr. Eichhorn attended the ses- : sion of the prisons’ congress, as a 1 member of the state board of charl- i ties. Mrs. Eichhorn and Miss Ander- i son remained over in Chicago. Mr. 1 Eichhorn was considerably honored at i the congress, which he attended and 1 made a speech, being placed on the t executive committee and appointed 1 A i member of a special committee for 1 the furpose of Investigating the city t lockups. The next meeting will be 1 in Washington, D. C.

Frl|toe, the deputy at the county treasurer’s office left Friday for Winona Lake, where he hopes to regain his failing health. During the past summer Mr. Fristoe has lost considerable of his avordupois and for a few days past has felt worse than at any time and has concluded to try two or three weeks along the lake front Mrs. Fristoe has been occupying their cottage at that place during the entire summer. ■■■ -o L. C. Waring arrived home Saturday after a several weeks’ outing in the northern peninsula of Michigan. He arrived at Fort Wayne Friday j with Judge O’Rourke and family, who made up the party with Mr. Waring. Os course the trip was a pleasure from start to finish, and Mr. Waring shows that he has been spending time out of doors, and close to nature. Fisning was good, in fact it always is in that country, and the month passed rapidly. To prove that they were in a fish-county Mr. Waring sent home at intervals shipments of delicious pike and pickerel. He has a deal on for a five acre island in that country and during the winter and spring expects to construct a summer home for his use during the hot weeks of the coming years. The same party spent their vacation last summer at the lake which is located in the interior of the Manistique country. some distance from a small town known as Curtis. It is delightfully wild and an Ideal place for a summer. T|ie only regret is the usual one which accompanise a return to labdrs after a month of rest o —— The gate and grandstand receipts of the Great Northern Indiana fair exclusive of family tickets, were figured Saturday showing the total for the two to be $2,428. The gate receipts were a little more than $2,100 and the grandstand $328. Os course the entry fees are to be added to this in reckoning the total receipts of the fair, as well as the family tickets and the privileges. The association is well pleased with the 1909 fair. They have realized a profit and the managers state that they will make a bigger effort next year than ever. The directors will hold a meeting at Secretary Adams’ office this. Thursday, at which time all outstanding bills will be allowed and a settlement in full will be made with the secretary. Every one should begin to think about boosting the 191 ff session of the Great Northern, for there is going to be one, and it will eclipse the one just dosed. The amlount mentioned' above does not include the family tickets, of which a large number were sold. - Bob Peterson and family of Sherwood, Ohio, came over a few days, ago to visit relative and friends and to take in the Great Northern fair. He was over at the grounds yesterday afternoon ,and between heats started , across the race track with his little, son. Just at that time the judges ordered the track cleared and the, officers were having some trouble hr ?oYnn'v’’ , fi’ with the order. Al Knavel i derv f v wo? doing his best, when he -o-nep nob. who was about half „, nv qnd the officer ordered : I’m boot, pot, insisted that he whs 1 •’V ' '.••.r t*-

Bob insisted that he was going across, and after telling several times to get back, it is said the officer pushed hint Bob theq ’ walked behind Knavel and started r across, when the officer struck him » over the head with his club. It was s a real whack, no imitation, and cut ■ the scalp to such an extent that Bob i bled profusely, but was not injured t seriously.. The latter came up town r where he filed an affidavit with Pros--5 ecutor Heller, charging Knavel With - assault and battery and the case was i to have been heard last evening, but was postponed until this afternoon at one o’clock. Mr. Knavel employed ’ Attorneys Beatty and Smith to de--5 ferijd him and the affair attracted J considerable interest, opinion being ’ divided as to a fair disposition of the > case. f i j Quite a crowd gathered at the may- ; or’s office this afternoon when the : hour came for the trial. The defen- ■ dant’s attorneys filed a plea in abatet ment on the grounds that the prose--5 cuting witness was a relative of the t mayor by marriage. The court con- ■ | ■ eluded to take this under advisement i until Monday, but later the attorneys : agreed that the case be dismissed I with the understanding that it be filed in circuit court, and the attor- ; neys for the defense agreed not to i raise the question of previous adju- : dication. This was done and the ; affidavit will be filed in court o A happy wedding occurred at the [ county clerk’s office a few minutes before 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon ■ when Miss Lillie V. Harden, aged sixteen, of .Wabash (township, and ’ Homer F. Smitley, a laborer from Blue Creek township, called and were joined in the holy bonds. The ceremony was performed in the cozy corner, Squire James H. Smith saying the official words which. made them man and wife. One week from today will wind up the summer vacation, and on the Monday following the circuit court will convene. The jury commissioners have sent word that they will call at the clerk’s office on Monday to draw the jury to serve for the term. Two real estate transfers affecting the same piece of property was all that were recorded Saturday at the recorder’s offihe. They were Daniel I. Weikle to John Steele, east half of inlot 909, Decatur, SI.OO. John Steele to Ella M. Weikle, same property, one dollar. - SCALDING WATER A WEAPON Pittsburg. Aug- 27.—Martha West aged 50, was arrested by Policeman E. H. Worstell, after she had been in a fight with several neighbors. It is alleged that she used a teakettle filled with hot water, a flatiron and a fryingpan, which she used as missiles. Mrs. Jane Harper, aged 35,was similarly treated, smd a 4-months-old baby of Mrs. Harper that Mrs. Turner was carrying in her arms was also slightly scalded.
