, , -—; —— — Just as the bells were ringing Sunday morning, calling the church people forth to that place where the spiritual life of mortals is refreshed and renewed, the spirit of Mrs. Amanda Daniels answered the peal of the heavenly .chimes and passed into that newness of Hfe that needs no renewing ever, death coming to her at 8:10 had been in ill health several years, she with congestion of the brain, was her condition considered most serious. She

she could not recover. Mrs. Daniels had been a resident of the city for the past thirty-four years and during that time has made friends of many through her cheery and kind nature. She was born March 16, 1850, in I Wayne county, Hi., the, daughter of Daniel and Margaret Hart, and had she lived until March 16th, she would have been fifty-nine years of age. In 1876 she was united in marriage to S. H. Daniel at Flora, 111., the newly married couple coming at once to this city, where she has lived since. The husband, however, died 1 eleven years after their removal here, ; passing away in 1887. Mrs. Daniel be- < came a Christian in early youth, idea- :

wari one of the charter me mb«W the local church of Christ, being one of the very few who were left from that Qumter.X Though her 111 health hid not permit her attendance at the house of worhship of late years, her heart and spirit were ever and this very fact drew her into an even closer and more spiritual relation with the Master. She leaves one daughter, Miss Margaret; a step-eon, Joseph Daniels, of Preble, and a Mrs. Jennie Webster, of Fbrt Wayne.. Mrs. Daniel is the last one of her family, a brother, the Rev. J. H. Hart, a pastor of the Christian church, and a sister, M|rß. Theresa Green, having preceded her in death. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the Church ot Christ, the procession leaving the house at 1 o’clock. The service will be conducted by the Rev. J. W. B. Smith of Vevay, Indiana. The body will be laid ta rest in Maplewood eemetery. 1 —e — ' A new claim, case on the docket today is entitled Roy B.

O’ 1 " Under the auspices of the senior class of the Decatur high school the ' Skovgaard Concert company will appear at the library hall next Monday ; evening, February 21st. The entertainment will prove one of the best ever given here and the class should, be well patronized. The company includes Professor Skovgaard, one <rt the most talented violinists of the country, a Dane, who came to the United States to accept the position of concert-meister with the New York Symphony, and who was a student f under Joachim, the world’s greatest violinist- He has toured the world, beI ginning his career as a violinist when I but four years old. Others with his I company are Miss Harriet M. Hertz, I soprano, and Miss Alice McClung, piI anist No musicians so highly spbken ! of have ever visited this city and our people should congratulate themselves | on the opportunity to hear them at so ; small a cost The program win be- ? gin at 8 o'clock and the hall should i be packed with lovers of real music. ! >■— ’ ' DAILY CENSUS REPORT. ! ' A nine pound baby girl came Moni day to gladde nthe home of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Snow. Everybody is ' getting along nicely. f JL fine baby boy was born to Mr. !■ and Mrs. Elmer Ault of Line street ' Saturday, and all are happy in that household. I kDME LATE MONROE ~N£WS. h Itemember the “Little Buck Shot" I which will be rendered at the M. W. ■ A. hall in the near future by the Mon- | roe home talent company. Watch for date and program later. ; Dr. Parrish and John Mayer transacted business In Decatur Monday. z The happiest man in Monroe last i Saturday morning was Uncle Isaac i Sommers, when he was seen on our’ streets announcing the fact that there had arrived at his home a big, bouncing baby boy. Mother and baby are reported as getting along nicely, and if nothing unforseen turns up in all probability Unkle Ike will fully recover from the shock. A deal was closed here Saturday in which Eli Hendricks purchased the large farm belonging to 0. W. Hocker. Mr. Hendricks takes possession on March IstT" J. Fred Mayer of Winchester was the guest of his parents here over Sunday. The disposition of John H. Ellston, a wall known citizen of St Marys township, who was declared of unsound mind some weeks ago, Is causing County Clerk Haefltng much work, anS proves that the great state of Indiana needs further means of taking care of her unfortunate citizens. Mr. Ellston’s cidltion ip very serious, and

[him, are almost worn out, as he cannot be left alone a moment He was rejected by the East Haven asylum because he Is an epileptic, and from the State Epileptic asylum at Newcastle because he Is Insane, The county is required to care for the man, though so far he has been cared for entirely by the family. Some time ago the matter of caring for Mr. Ellston, who is an ex-soldier, was taken up through Congressman Adair, and it Is now believed he can be placed In the Veterans’ Insane asylum at Washing.ftpL D. C. This requires a large amount of red tape; however, and Mr. Haefilng is rushing the matter just as much as possible, it having now reached the headquarters at New York. It may be necessary to enter Mr. Ellston at the Soldiers’ Hoifie at Marion and then removed, but an effort is being made to send him directly to the asylum, owing to his serious condition. ;' o— — SHEEP-KILLING DOG — Wrought Havoc Among the Flock of j Fred Heckman. A sheep-killing dog wrought havoc among a flock of fine sheep belonging to Fred Heckman of Preble township the latter part of last week, killing two and maiming four others. The havoc was not known until the following morning, when the family went to the barn where the sheep had been housed over night, the dog having gotten in through a little hole in the barn floor. ' , ,t> — . Decatur is tramp-ridden. It has been years since so many knights of tiie road have Infested this city and they are becoming a nuisance. What is the means ol relief? The auestion has been asked us many time? during tiia past week and we give it to the public, that some one may hit upon the plan to rid the town of these vagrants. Some of them are of course unfortunates, and compelled to exist by begging, but the most of them are professionals, who would rather beg a breakfast than do an hour’s work. At least a half-dozen have reported to us , that they fed from four to six men " Sunday hnd it is said that more than . twenty spent the night at one place. No one seems able to explain just why these travelers are so thick just now, . as it is unusual for them to take to ► 4he road while the snow is still fall- , Ing, but is believed that the real cause . is that the city of Chicago has been t gleaning UP, driving the thugs and the ■ tramps and loafers away, and they stop in a place just as long as the author- ; itles permit them. Something should . be done and at once. i o , MET CHORUS AT MARION. . Male Chorus From This City Went to L Rehearsal. Bruce Patterson, Will Schrock, Tracy ( Nelson, Harman Yager and Joe Fah- . renbach, members of the male chorus organizedUere by Professor Tucker, I were at Marlon Sunday, where. At the Marlon Conservatory of music, they met the choruses from Bluffton and Marlon, In rehearsal for a concert . which will be given jointly soon by thebe classes. i ——a—— Geneva, Ind., Feb. 14—(Special to Dally Democrat) —Sylvester Pontius, broken In health, with a terrible wound in his side, the result of an operation on the Tuesday before, came all the way from Rochester, Minn., to this place, where he arrived Saturday. His daughter, who left here Wednesday night missed him, and arrived at Rochester to find that her father had started home. When Mr. Pontius left the ho&pital a telegram was sent to his relatives here, but it went to Geneva, New York, and did not arrive here until Friday. Mr. Pontius arrived at Fort Wayne, where he found a nephew and remained until Saturday, when two of his brothers’from here went to that place and brought him home. There are no hopes of his re- • covery and his trip was a most wonderful one. Mrs. Jesse Ford, living one mile < south of Geneva, returned Tuesday I from Oklahoma, where she has been ’ visiting her son.

Ruth, returned Thursday from an extneded visit at Keifer, Oklahoma, with a daughter and sister, Mrs. Bert Dubois. Mr. Krouse was somewhat surprised to find the weather so cold, as when he left Keifer it was spring time. A medicine man and a big show have been at the Coliseum the past week, healing the sick and disposing ot a good supply of medicine at a fair profit. —O ; —■ A sad message, bringing thenews of the death of their half-sister, Mrs. Kate Wilhelm, which occurred Monday at 2:30 o’clock at her home in Ligonier, was received this morning by Mesdames James Bain and Adolph Hoffman. The death followed an operation for appedicitls, the relatives having known cd the intended operation, nevertheless the news of her death was quite unexpected. Mrs. Wilhelm is known to all Decatur residents. She was formerly Miss Kate King and spent the greater part of her lifehere, going to Ligonier several years ago. She was about fifty-six years of age. Besides the two halfsisters she leaves two brothers, Sylvester and Lane King, of this city. Mrs.Wllhelm’B husband diedabout two years ago. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon and relatives from this city will attend. Mrs. Wilhelm was also an aunt of Mrs. Charles Helm ot this city. A Valentine from Her. See yonder'lad a-footing free, How jocundly he hies! The morning’s tingling ecstasy Is dancing in his eyes. A flowery way becomes his path, The skies a golden blur, The earth a paradise—he hath A valentine from her! A sudden song escapes his lips, A joy-reverb’rant thing; Through love’s divine companionship He feels himself a king. He dreams of no sad aftermath, This buoyant worshiper. And all, forsooth, because he hath A valentine from her! —Clinton Scollard. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Sellemeyer and daughter, Miss Matilda, entertained , Sunday at a 12 o’clock dinner in honor ' of L. L.

This i day, which has always been a momen- i

tous one to them, is celebrated annually by them, each in turn giving a dinner party to which the family of the other is invited. This year the dinner was given at the home of Samuel Fuhrman, and at 6 o’clock all gathered around the festive board, where all the tsubstantials and dainties of the season were served. Not least among them was a large turkey, rich and savory, brown and crisp from the oven, and a large birthday cake, pleasing to the eyee as well as to the taste. The only guests other than the members of the two families were Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Fritzinger, Mrs. Frisinger being a sister of the two celebrants. That many, many more such happy events may be their lot, was the joy ous wish of all. i making arrangements to move from their home west of the city to another east of Decatur, on the 22nd of this month, were given a farewed party Saturday evening by a number of their neighbors who gathered In to spend a delightful evening, in which games of all kinds, music and a good oldfashioned taffy pulling were prominent features. A shower of good wishes for success in their new home - were extended to them, yet over all hung an air of regret that so soon these good friends and neighbors would leave that community.
