1 — — _ TOTeVa ’ Ar, n’ T 2 ’ Tn Friends of the Daily Democrat, Decatur, Indiana: To those interested in hearing of jourae/s and travels we might give Upon leaving Decatur the morning of the 23rd we arrived In Chicago at 8:15. We at once went to the Annen home at 3227 Flournoy street, where we saw the city and were entertained until Wednesday evening when we boarded a Santa Fe train. Being night ' we saw nothing until we were awakVUt> * v J

” — Missouri. We arrived in Kansas City •' at 11 a. m. We stopped there until 2:35 and soon were going over the plains of Kansas, and nothing special to attract attention. ? The nett morning we got at LaJunta, Colorado, from where the scenery became more picturesque, as mountains could be seen in the distance. At ElMoro they put two extra engines on our train to take us over the mountains? At Raton we went through a long tunnel and from there on we were going up grade all day until we arrived at Las Vegas, where the engines were taken off. It was then night. We awoke at Albuquerque at

I I©y*» our * ttoppinc placo S&turday 1 | morning. Then the fun commenced ’ We started out about 7 o’clock In a White steamer inI tending to go to Ganado, Arizona, | that day, a distance of sixty-five . miles. Instead we arrived at St. Michaehr about 1; started away- from there about 3, and as we were goM> over mountains we only got about I four miles, as there was about five ' inches of snow, so we decided to go back to St- Michaels for the night. On Sunday morning we left St Michael’s. Everything went lovely for about twelve miles, when we had to stop and melt enough snow for r eighteen gallons of water. We built a fire and had the snow melted abont . noon. We,proceeded and went only - abount five miles when our broke and the driver tried to repair same, but it was soon night; so we , built another fire and decided to for the night We sat up and slept as best we could. The next morning the machine had been repaired and we again started. We thfbe and one-half miles of Ganada when the driving shaft was bent and the. Chaffeur walked to Ganado, got team and we arrlven in Ganaho at 2 “ o’clock, had nothing but a few crackers to eat for thirty, houte. Hungry? Oh, no! At Ganado we jßtopped with Mr. Hubbell, an Indian trader, for a day and a half. Mr. Hubbell, by Is very rich, having enough Indian relics and pictures to make several fortunes. He has one picture alone that he-refused SI,OOO for, and about 400 that are worth S2O each and baskets, blankets, etc. We ..saw him make one deal In which he sold s#oo worth of Navajo blankets. We were entertained to a queen’s taste and ‘ finally left on Wednesday morning on' B a fifty-mile drive, starting at 8 and arriving at Keam’s Canyon at 7. We ! saw at one time a canyon fifty feet deep and above us rocks seventy-five feet high, and a drive-way about' flfr teen feet wide, one side as bad as the ! other, should anything have happened At Keam’s Canyon Is a large boarding school; about seven stone buildings and thirty employees. We mbt ; the superintendent and we will be takI en to our field Saturday morning, still a distance of thirty-three miles, making a distance of one. hundred and [ thirty-three miles from a railroad staI tion.

We will have about 11,000 worth I of clothing, shoes, caps, calicoes, dishes, chairs, provisions, etc., for L which we must give an account each I dqy. Each boy is allowed three suits, I two pairs of overalls, etc., a year. I I The girls likewise. They must be I I boarded at a rate not to exceed nine I I cents a meal for each pupil.

II || Quite a tragic occurrence took place [[about 11 Tuesday, and may end |[ in the death of Peter Russell,'one of lithe most familiar characters in Dell catur, who Is lying In a seml-sonsclous I condition at the Adams county jail. | Whether his condition Is the Jesuit I of poison, or too large a dose of alcoI hoi in an unusual mixture, is unf known, as be cannot be Sufficiently i yjuHftd to learn the exact details, s and what can be learned, waa gotten f from those who were near him at 1 the time; and the doctor who, treated , him. About 11 o’clock today Pete was seen in alley ’ behind the 1 Steele Brothers’ 'plumbing shop. ‘ He took a seat on the step and pres- , ently drew out a green looking bottle ■ and attempted'to draw the cork. He j was unsuccessful in this, and to get - the liquid broke the* bottle, and then r began to drain the contents. He soon ■ became perfectly limp and helpless i and persons who were attracted to i him, simply thought that he was in a » state of usual intoxication. His aim- - lees contortions became worse, howi ever, and the persons around him t made examination of affairs, and, > thinking he might have taken poison, - lav film in the Steele shed nearby and

’ called the marshal. In the meantime the bottle and its contents were Examined,, though only a little amount erf liquid remained. It was taken to the Blackburn drug store, but the contents were not identified, only a drop or two of the liquid being left in the broken green bottle. Persons who examined it noticed an odor as of anise ofl. “In the meantime the marshal had arrived and the luckless man was put in the Schmidt butcher wagon and taken to the jail, where Dr. D. D. Clark was called. All attempts to get at the details of the affair were uncussessful as Pete could not be aroused sufficiently to talk, other than in a rambling way. At last reports he was lying helpless. It is the opinion of the doctor that the man, who was crazed for drink, and being unable to get the alcohol in the dry town, swiped a bottle of hair oil, bay rum, or some other preparatiqn from a barber shop and drank ft, and that his condition Is simply a matter pf plain Intoxication. He admits, however, that the mixture might have contained polsqn, which, if tak en in the right quantity might prove fatal. That remains to be seen. Al all events, the fact that a man has reached such a state of craving, that his appetite can only be satisfied in su<d| away, Is a. very deplorable thing andJhe man is certainly deserving of the pity, instead <rf the ridicule of the people. last will of Harlo Mann was probated in court Mr. Mann left no real estate but about $5,000 worth of personal property, all of which he gave to his wife, Winnie A. Mann. At her death he asks that what is left be divided equally among the children, Sarah Lammiman, James F. ' Mann, Nora E. Gilpen and Mattie A. Reichart The will was written January 2nd, last and was witnessed by’'HalloWell and Eddie McAlhaney, both of whom are now located at Texico, New Mexico, and it was necessary to probate the will by .securing the deposition of these.

the contracts for the macadamizationl < of this street and Mercer avenue by the levelling with the roller. The cold weather, however, set in before this j could be accomplished, so the rolling < was necessarily postponed and will t doubtless be done at the first opportunity—that is when the frost king 1 gives up his rule sufficiently to allow the- sun to put in his coaxing influences and make Mother Earth and her constituents soft and yielding. These streets are- the only ones in the city improved under the threemile road law, providing for the macadamising to be done by the township, leaving the bricking alone for the property owners. The macadamizing consists of a crushed stone bed covered With screenings, and edged with a stone curb. When finished these thoroughfares will be the best and most beautiful in the city. . ' O- - The job presses at this office Tuesday whirled off 5,325 the same to be used for the big democratic primary,, which occurs in this county on Friday of this week. The work of overseeing the printing of the-tickets, to see that no mistakes were made and that the, exact number needed were printed, was in the hands of ’ Thomas Gallogly, county" chairman, • and F. V. Mills, treasurer, and Henry ’ Lankenau, secretary of the county 1 central committee. The number of * tickets printed is estimated at about 1 sixty per cent more than actually needed, that is to say that there will ’ be east at the Friday election about 3,000 votes. The tickets are as usual in the primaries, without any emblem at the top, for it has been found that when a design is used, often seme fellow wanders in who votes ’er straight by marking in the circle, thus not voting for any one. The names for the various candidates are alphabetical, thus where there are five candidates, the one whose name begins with the letter “A” would be first on the list and so on down the line. The inspectors will call for the ballots Wednesday. There are twenty-seven candidates. ' ■ ', p. i...... . -—• Here Is Relief for Women.
