little one was dedicated in baptism, two persons received by letter, two into full connection and fourteen on probation at the morning service at the Methodist church Sunday. The communion which followed was the largest in the history of the congregation. and was a precious service. At the revival services Sunday night Rev. Dr. Wade preached a stirring sermon to an audience which filled the whole house. The singing of both the choruses was greatly enjoyed. There will be a brief, earnest revival service this evening, followed by the quarterly Conference, Dr. Wade presiding. The meh’s chorus will sing at the parsonage at g;30., ———-■* ■ ,«>■ ■ ———— • It became known Tuesday that early Sunday morning the police made a raid upon the card room conducted by one John Diller, In the Boknecht building «on Monroe street There was no red light or vauntiqg of heroism About the affair. Night policeman Cephas Melchl and officer Geary, under the directions of Marshal Peterson, simply walked into the front door and proceeded back to th,e room where fourteen or fifteen boys were indulging in a little flfty-cent limit where they took the names of all those about the table and then quietly proceeded about their business. Diller was alseep in the front room when the raid was made. Yesterday the officers got busy and found two or three of the lads who were willing to tell all they knew about it and did so, completing the necessary chain of evidence and affidavits were immediately signed by Mr. Melchl and filed by Prosecutor Heller before Mayor Teepie. Early Tuesday morning the new court room of Mayor Teeple showed signs of a busy day and" each succeeding hour became more and more so. Two or three of the boys were firjst brought up and each in turn plead guilty., He was soundly lectured by the mayor and each fined the minimum, five dollars and costs, amounting to fifteen dollars. Diller was then brought in and arraigned, charged with conducting the gambling shop, where the boys were losing their money and forming habits that will injure them in every way through life. After hemming and hawing considerable he finally plead guilty, but continued to argue to the court, who finally told him what he thought about such a business and after assessing a fine of ten dollars and costs, amounting to tweny dollars in all, he added a ten days’ jail sentence. Diller was allowed a short time to arrange his affairs and was then taken to jail to begin his short term. He should consider himself lucky and about the next time he gets up before a Decatur magistrate he will get a sentence that will hold him for some time. The charge, against him is a very serious one, especially when his customers are boys, a number of them only sixteen or seventeen years of age. He was arrested and fined only a few months’ago /or a similar offense, but this does not seemed to have stopped him. We have purposely withheld the names of the fourteen boys who were fined today because we believe they should have another chance. If any person 'cares to look them up he will find the names on the mayor’s docket Seven out of ten men have perhaps been in similar .scrapes had they been caught and many of them have be-, come good and honorable citizens. Here’s hoping the boys do likewise. This is a' mighty good time to remind our people that Decatur, like all other towns of its size, needs and needs badly, a clean wholesome place, of amusement a Y. M. C. A., if you please, or any kind of an institution, where the boy can find amusement A gymnasium, good reading, social club rooms, where the. atmosphere is kept clear of theee things that injure the young man. He Is going to seek amusement even when he has had better training and when he has an attractive hame jto go to. He wants the association. Let’s start it right now. The Democrat pledges itk heartiest support to a plcae of this kind, and will give it In all ways possible. Who will assist and’how can we do It? Here’s a chance for a home mission that will bring back the wayward boy and surround him with good influences. Surely it is worth our while. —, .< ; . THINKS MARSHALL THE MAN. ' i Hon. John W. Kern Boosts Governor Marshall for President St. Louis, Mo„ Feb. B—Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana will be the democratic nominee for president in 1912 In the opinion of John W. Kern, running mate of W. J. Bryan in the last presidential campaign, who came to St Louis from his home in Indiana "I am out of politics and intend to devote my future time to my law practice,”* Mr. Kern said. "We democrats of Indiana think Governor Marshall is the logical candidate for the presidency and Intend to nominate him. Governor Harmon of Ohio is -an excellent gentleman, as are former Governors Francis and Folk of

Missouri, and. either would prove an acceptable candidate, but we think Governor Marshall should be the nominee." He did not mention Mr. Bryan in this connection. Mr. Kern said he would not be a candidate for the United States senate In Indiana this fall. He said several would make the race for the democratic nomination, but that in his opinion the republicans would give Senator Albert J. Beveridge a clear field. "I believe the election of a democratic congress is certain,” next November," he Said. ■—»- — They are off on the serond half of the big popular contest given by the Daily and Weekly Democrat A glance at the standing of the candidates will sh?w you that Mrs. R’ggs is leading today by a slight margin. Almost each day sees one of those down the list leap into first place: It’s a great race and no cne can tell who the leader will be, in fact there are about twenty in the nontest, and apparently each with almost an even shot to win. Today we announce the second bonus in the contest Each candidate who secures fifty dollars’ worth of business during the next eight days will be given two hundred thousand extra votes. Don’t linger. Don’t *ait It’s up to you to move along or one of the dark horses will fly past It’s an easy matter if you will devote a little time to it The end will be here almost before you know it and it is most important that you make each passing moment count from this time on. The automobile will be here today or tomorrow and each candidate will be given a chance to test the car. Show it to your friend and they will certainly help you to win it. Read carefully the rules of the second bonus offer as published today and then get bijsy. It’s a case of speeding up and you can do It if you really want one of £ the handsome prizes offered. o Dr. J. L. Hensley is expected to arrive from Marlon, Ohio, the latter part of this week to visit his son, D. M. Hensley, and to assist in the preparation of the medicines to be gotten out by the Leah Medicine company, De-

catur’s new industry, and to help get everything in readiness for the beginning of the work. The company has not been able to secure the building desired for the establishment and for the time being has taken two rooms above the Hensley store, where they will work temporarily until better established. The medicines will be made from recipes and prescriptions used by Dr. Hensley in his forty-nine years of practice, being known as the “Forty-Nine” remedies. The preparations will be compounded by him and sent to the company here for mixing and final arranging. While it is thought the company here could get along all right without his personal supervision in the mixing, it was thought better to have him here at the beginnig in order to make sure that everything is starting off all right - • o i , ■■■ BLOOD POISON DEVELOPED. From Cut Received by Will Chrlstlaner in Butchering—ls Recovering. Will Christiaaer, a prominent farmer of Root township, has been having a severe siege of blood poisoning, but he is now recovering and it is thought will get along all right. While butchering some time ago he cut one of his fingers, but paid no great attention to the wound at that time, which seemed to be one of usual minor importance. Some time afterward, however, the vzound became infiamed and gradually grew worse until the whole arm was badly swollen and grew into a case of very bad blood poisoning. The doctor giVes every hope for recovery without the loss of the arm, as the swelling has gone down, and the conditions in general are more favorable. O - ’£■ i The first February section of the Methodist Ladies’ Mite society will entertain at the church parlors Friday afternoon, and among other business matters plans for the year’s work will be discussed. It is earnestly desired that all members be in ance. i
