'Hie revival services at the Methodist church Monday evening revealed what a firm hold the meetings have on the hearts of the people. Although many thought that the meetings would close Monday night yet the auditorium was well filled and great earnestness shown. The Rev. Dr. Wade preached a most timely discourse after the men’s chorus had sung two fine selections. The call resulted in ten souls bowing at the a’tar and nine Were happily saved. Such was the interest that the quarterly conference for last night' was completely crowded out, hence the pastor announced that the quarterly conference would be held at 8 o’clock this morning and that the meetings would continue this evening

at f, as usual. It was a time of spiritual refreshing certainly. Rev. Richard Spetnagel of the Presbuterian church will speak at the closing services this evening. The quarterly conference assembled In a most delightfuyshsslon this morning and much important business was transacted, revealing prosperity and. activity in all branches of the church work. The pastor and district superintendent were commended for the ' labors in the following resolutions: \ Decatur, Ind.,. Feb. 8, 1910. To the Fourth Quarterly Conference, i M. E. Church, Decatur, Ind.: i Be it Resolved, That we, as an offi- 1 cial board, tn behalf of the Methodist < Episcopal church la Decatur, Ind. '»<

I indorse and heartily commend the Work done during the past year by our beloved pastor, Sherman 1 Powell. We commend him for the high standard of Christian life he has exemplified while among us, both by the inspiration of his teaching and by his own living, personal character. We endorse bis adherence to the Holy Bible standard of Christian citizenship and to the Methodist discipline as It touches the dally lives and examples of us all as brethren in the church of our own adoption. We appreciate his untiring energy In promoting all the departments of the church proper and its auxiliaries. Above* all, in testimonial of our confidence in and our love for our Brother Powell, we desire as earnestly as the limitations of language win permit, to congratulate our church in having for its pastor one who with untiring endeavor; oneness of purpose, fervency in spirit and constant devotion, has accomplished suqh great and glorious work in our church In saving souls and establishing Christ and Him crucified as the basis of membership in our church in Decatur. We request, therefore, his return to Decatur for another year. The above resolution was unanimously adopted. JOHN NIBLICK, Secretary. Decatur, Ind., Feb. 8, 1910. To Bishop Earl Cranston, Beloved Father: Whereas, Rev. C. U. Wade, D. D., has been the efficient district superintendent of Fort Wayne district for the last six years past, and has magnified his office by his untiring labors for the good of the church and the glory of God. He has brought the Fort Wayne district to the front rank in church benevolences, the number of souls saved, and all the great enterI prises of the church, has made the good of the humblest layman and the most talented minister of his district all like objects of his care and interest ; therefore, Resolved, That it is the concensus of this official board and this quarterly conference that In justice to the work and great good of the North Indiana conference, Dr. C. U. Wade must be continued a district superintendent; therefore, we humbly, .but most earnestly ask Bishop Earl Cranston and the appointing power to appoint Dr. Wade district superintendent in tlhs conference for another term.

ford; Ohio, spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Lobenstine, at this place. C. F. Rayl had the pleasure of riding the Modern W.oodmen goat last night, and is now a full-fledged hewer of the timber. Word was received from Mrs. George Doctors from her brother, Frank Copp, wno formerly was a resident, of Monrce and engaged in the hla< ksmith trade here, but now living at Marion, Ind., that he would be operated on for appendicitis at the Marion hospital Tuesday morning and requested Mrs. Doctors to be at his bedside. She left for that place Monday morning. Al Dulin, a former blacksmith of this place but now of St Marys, Ohio, is critically ill with Bright’s disease at that place and his recovery is very doubtful. Levi Estel, living near Monroe, is quite sick with a complication of diseases, owing to old age. Mrs. Dr. Aayl is'quite sick with ulcers of the stomach. The drill team of foresters of the M. W. A., in full uniform, together with the officers of the lodge had a group piCturcy taken Sunday at theNewlin & Shirk studio, which they put on postal cards.

Surveyor Ernst was ordered by the commissioners to prepare plans and specifications for a number of bridges and arches, their location being as follows: Ayers bridge and abuttment in Blue Creek township, fainter bridge and abuttment in Jefferson township, Cowan bridge and abuttment in St. Marys, Shoaf bridge and abuttment in Kirklanr, Nenenschwander arch in Monroe and Wabash, Chris Hirschy arch In Hartford and French, Bollinger bridge and abuttment in Monroe, a railing for the bridge at Linn Grove, Friedham bridge No. 1, Zwick bridge, Luginbill bridge in Blue Creek, Shifferly bridge in Monroe and St Marys, Friedham No. 2. These plans will likely be presented to the board at their next meeting, at which time they will take action by ordering them sold to the lowest bidder. In conformity to a petition and request filed some time ago the board appointed J. A. Hendricks to represent the board on a committee whose business it will be to investigate and report on the advisability of erecting and maintaining a county orphans’ home. Other members of the committee will be representatives of the courity board of charities and children’s guardians. _ The commissioners are today holding another short session at which the business of the term will be closed. The records of the term does not contain enough to make even a good news item, blit that is caused by the fact that it is so near the first of the year, and it is hardly time enough yet to start something. It will not be long until they will be busy in the affairs of the county for the year 1910. They took no action, whatever, on macadam roads, but a little later it is likely that several roads will be either contracted—or those sold will be pushed along after the bonds are sold.

The board have adjourned and will have no further meetings until the first of next month. Ji B. Stoneburner as deputy tax collector, is busy in the treasurer’s office making up a list of those who owe delinquent tax on personal property, and he will be busy for some time to come in making collection of the same. The list is rather a long one and much time will be consumed in making the collections. Three macadam roads were marked , continued on the commissioners’ court / docket, they being the Decatur and Monroe, the Bowers and Worthman, the latter two being in Kirkland township. Clark J. Lutz was appointed by the board as county attorney for the coming year. It is hardly necessary us to state that the appointment is a 9 good one and that the legal affairs of the county will receive the best services of the appointee. o— £_ HAS EIGHTY TURKEYS.

GOVERNOR TO BACK COMMISSION In Cases Filed AOainst Them by the Various Railroad Companie*. Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. B—(SpecialB—(Special to Dally Democrat) —Following a conference Monday afternoon between Governor Marshall and Chairman Woods of the railroad commission, the V governor has announced that he will back it in the twenty-six suits filed thus far by the railroad companies to prevent the commission from requiring all locomotives in road service in the state to be equipped with 1500 candle power electric headlights. This is taken to mean that the governor will draw on his contingent fund to help pay such special attorneys to be employed when the commission has exhausted the $3,000 appropriated for attorney fees. « A conference of the governor and all the members of the commission was scheduled for today. o „ Henry Gerke, wife and son, Kenneth, and their guests, Peter and Herman Emery, of Berne have been spending several days with Herman Gerke and family north of Monmouth, Id where they assisted in butchering Henry Gerke and his guests returned this mom<njj, but Mrs. Gerke and babe will remain for a longer visit •—: — Pointers on Poultry.
