ATTENDED PLOCK FUNERAL. Among those from this city who were in attendance at the'funeral of Bernard Plock at Fort Wayne last Saturday were Mrs. Mary Fullenkamp, Mrs. M. J. Mylott, Mr. and Mrs. Leng--1 ©rich, John Tonnelier and family, Anthony Vogelwede and family, Joe Meyers and family, Jno.Meyerk and family, Bernard Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. George Geels, Mrs. Frank Parent, Mr. and Mrs. John Hessler, Mrs. William Mersman. Q EVERYTHING SOON BE READY. Ballasting About Done on the Geneva Traction Line. The B. G. & C. Traction company will have completed the ballasting of the track within a short time and everything will be in readiness for the running of cars within a few weeks. The work has been done to within a short distance of Geneva and the track is ballasted until it is smoother than a large number of interurban tracks that have been used for years. The gang which is putting up the overhead work is nearly to Linn Grove and this work is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Since the ground has thawed out the work of putting in the poles is progressing faster. It is thought that further arrangements toward extending the road to the state line will he made within a short time. A number of men who are raising money for tbiß are meeting with considerable sue cess.—Bluffton Bannr. ■-— o Attorney Lutz was at Ft. Wayne Saturday, where he with others, addressed a meeting of the trustees of the Twelfth district. The meeting was held for the purpose of acquainting the trustees with the proper inters pretation to be placed upon existing laws affecting these officers. Mr. Lutz’ long experience with county and township government makes him especially qualified to speak upon this occasion. An organization among the trustees of the state is being formed with a view of asking the next legislature for some needed legislative reform as to the conduct of the business of the townships. Much if not all that will be asked of the next legislative body will be needed and necessary reforms, and the fact that they have thus early begun to give the reforms an organized effort and thought, means that by the time the legislature meets they will have thorougly threshed the subject and will ask for tne sort of reform that will be practical. The Twelfth district meeting will be followed by other meetings and then an executive committee will put thfeir reforms into proper shape for presentation to the legislature. The meeting today was largely attended and was a success in every .wjiy. --o ■■ OBITUARY. James W. Martz, son of Jacob H. and Susannah Martz, was born In Adams county, Ind., April 10, 1861, and departed this life February 26, 1910, aged 48 years, 10 months and 26 days. He was united in marriage to Ida May Cline, September 17, 1887, but she preceded him Several years ago. He was converted several years ago, and united with the Society of Friends. He made many mistakes, no doubt, but who Is there who has not? In his last sickness he told his aged mother and friends that he was ready to go when the time came for him to go. During his last sickness he was a great sufferer, but he bore it with much patience. He leaves an aged motner, seven brothers and two sisters, besides a number of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Funeral service at the Valley Friends’ church, conducted by Rlev. Isaac H. Hollingsworth of Lynn, Indiana. —a : Josiah Tague, known to many of the county, passed away Friday night at 8 o’clock at the county Infirmary.

Fred Bohnke, passed away Friday evening at ten minutes before 6 o’clock at the family home on North Second street. Mrs. Bohnke had, been suffering for about ten months rrom tuberculosis with complications of heart trouble. She grew gradually weaker during this time and for the past two weeks had been bedfast, her death coming as a welcome relief from mUch suffering. Mrs. Bohnke was known and beloved not only by all in this city, but to the greater number of the residents of the north part of the county, to whom this announcement will come bearing much sorrow. She was horn in Fort Wayne forty years ago last February 9, 1870, the daughter of Edmund and Sarah Wilder. Very soon after her death the parents returned to the home farm In Root township, where she grew to womanhood. Twelve years ago April 27th she was united in marriage to H. Fred Bohnke, and they begad, housekeeping on their farm in Root township, leater coming to this city, where they have since lived. She fs survived by her husband and one son, Harry, who will be eleven years of age April 26th. £Jhe also leaves one sister and two brothers —Belle, wife of Burt Dietelbach, of Findlay, Ohio; Dwight, living on the old homestead, and Emile; Hying south of the city. Her father died about twenty-six years ago and her mother Just two years ago last Sunday. Two sisters and one brother have also preceded her in death during the past nine years. Mrs. Bohnke has been a member of the Concord English Lutheran church for many years, and her life at all times was one in accord with the

teaching of her Master, making her an ideal wife and mother. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at at 1 o’clock from the home, the Rev. Mumma of Hoagland, pastor of the Concord church, officiating. The Pocahontas lodge of which she was a* member will attend in a body and conduct their ritualistic services. Interment in Maplewood cemetery. - ~ - — j WILL LOCATE IN ATTICA. Charles Barnhart and C. E. Baughman returned today noon from a trip in the interest of a racket store which Mr. Baughman will open in the near future. They leased a building for the same at Attica, a thriving little town of 4,000. This city has no racket store and the location is ideal. The sanitarium located there draws a large number of transcients and business there is quite thriving. The two returned byway of Bluffton and ordered a large stock from the Morris company. Mr. Barnhart expects to open the store about April 9th. mi fl .

Monroe, Ind., March 7 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—P. J. Everhart, a life-long citizen of this county and many years of Monroe township, left this morning for an extended trip to St. Louis, thence to Chicago, and from there he goes to Louisiana and Kentucky in search of a suitable location. Mr. Everhart has many friends in and around Monroe who regret to see him leave. He requests us to in this manner to thank all for their liberal patronage in his sale which he held a short time ago. Mr. Everhart expects to again embark in railroading, an occupation which he followed for years before moving on his farm. James Hendricks, sr., residine one and onehalf miles south of Monroe, reached the slxty-flftn milestone of his age,on March 2nd, and, as is the custom of his many friends, they concluded to give him a “post card" Shower, and on that occasion he received 130 of the latest cards that could be obtained,. with all the best wishes his, friends could bestow upon him. Mr Hendricks heretofore did not believe in sending post cards, but since he received such a large num- : 1 -

ber, says he no* thinks there is something In remembering him on tills occasion. The nine-year-old daughter of Mr. Charles Lammlmah, residing a short distance southeast of Monroe, has been greatly afflicted the past few days with Inflammatory rheumatism and blood poisoning, caused by the rubbing of one of her shoes. She Is some better, but is still very sick. *• ' i ■ >.. Word was received here Saturday that the small child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Martz, who was so frightfully burned by being (brown upon a red hot stove, by a young sister who was carrying the baby, and who tripped and fell, throwing the child on the stove, had died Upon their arrival at Oklahoma. Mr. Martz and family left for, Oklahoma the first of last week. Mrs. Lydia Hendricks will leave Tuesday morning for Fort Wayne, where she will attend the meeting of the Ladles’ Aid society of the M. E. church of Monroe at a representative. On Wednesday evening she will attend the wedding of Miss Murlett, who will be married at New Haven.

' 7 ■' .. v ; There is an industry southwest of Monroe that no doubt a great many people know nothing about. It Is the broom factory, owned and conducted by James Hendricks. He Informed us that he has made over six hundred brooms since his return from Oklahoma. He also states that brooms today were doubled in price, owing to the scarcity in broom corn and that he could not manufacture broorfis at less than $4.50 per dozen. However, he has very few to sell at present] and haß several orders to fill. It would be well for some of our farmers to grow a certain amount of acre-' age of broom com, as they can find a ready market right here at home. Quite a number of children in and near Monroe are afflicted with the scarlet rash. None of the cases are reported serious. Charles Smith, representative of the Continental (Ohio) Sugar Beet company, who has been among our farmers in this vicinity for the past week, is meeting with good success and a number of acres have been promised for the testing of the beet industry for this season. The proposition he offers to you is a fair one and you have nothing to lose. Watch for him, if he has not already called on you. He will do so within 'the next f£w days. 18 JEBUB YOURS?

Sunday was a most successful day at the# Evangelical church. Instead of taking up the study of the lesson In the Sunday school, Decision Day was observed. Each class first contributed Its collection »to the building fund, which amounted to $25 and a few cents. Father Fuhrman’s class contributed $5.80, and was the banner class. After the secretary’s report, the evangelist, Rev. Klein, gave an evangelistic talk to the Sunday school, and then made an earnest appekl to the scholars to accept Christ as their personal Savior. Fifteen girls and boys bowed at the altar and gave themselves to their Christ. At 3 o’clock a men’s meeting was held in which about one hundred were present to hear a stirring address by Rev. Klein on the subjects “Two Contending Forces.” Every one present was inspired by the lucid as well as eloquent sermon. It was certainly* a joy to be in such a mass meeting of men. A goodly, number of women were present, too. The Don’s quartet rendered two beautiful selections, which wtre greatly appreciated. by all present. The Y. P. A. met at 6:30 in an interesting meeting led by Miss Alice Burrell. After this another evangelistic service was conducted by the Rev. W. F. Klein. The church was filled to the doors and it was an inspiration to hear the large audience sing the gospel songs. A ladies’ quartet composed of Lilah Lachot Mrs. Runyon, Mrs. Opliger and Kern sang very beautifully the battle song, “Is Jesus Yours?” They also sang another special selection to which the crowded house listened with great interest. Evangelist Klein then spoke upon the words, “For God so loved the world that whomsoever believeth on him should hot perish, but hav§ everlasting life.”, Rev. Klein was at his best end carried his audience, in his eloquent manner of speaking, up to a hieghts of ecstacy, such as has seldom been seen in Decatur. It is certainly a rare treat to listen to such masterful sermons. A mothers’ meeting will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30, An address will be given to the mothers, but the public also will be invited and welcomed to this special service. We again eitend a cordial welcome to all who will come and worship with us in these special days. mSmi "" : % d

recommendation of the investigating committee of the Adams county or, phanage proposition, Adams copnty will I soon nave an orphans - home In which her homeless and neglected children can be cared for at a much Icbb cost, and with better results In a physical, moral and educational way than they are at present. The committee on investigation which recently returned from a visit *to orphanages of other cities and counties met Saturday and have ready for presentation to the county commissioners at the March session which opened Monday, the following report; “Honorable Board of Commissioners of the County of Adams: “Gentlemen;—Your committee appointed to investigate the county orphans’ home proposition respectfully submits to you the following report: “After having thoroughly Investigated a number of such homes and obtained considerable Information as ( to. the advantages pf Busch a home, and the cost and maintenance of one, and after considering the county’s present expenses .of maintaining her orphans, your committee reached a conclusion favoring the building of such an institution for our own county, and would redopamend the commissioners to have blue prints of a suitable, substantial, but plain building prepared and obtain an idea as to the cost erf erecting it, leaving the location of same to the best Judgment of the board of directors. “The committee, however, feels'that the , grounds, known as the old fair grounds, or a portion, of the north end of the county fartn would be a favorable place for «n orphans’ home. “M. KIRSCH, “Os the County Council. “S. B. FORDYCE, . “Os Children’s Guardian Board. “JAMES A. HENDRICKS, “Os County Commissioners. “March 5, 1910.” The report is backed up by the petition for the building of the home, signed by more than (wo hundred of the largest taxpayers in the county, and* it will in all probability be built. The county is now free from debt and will be amply able to build the home, especially when the building will re duce the expense, as the committee claims, and in the end be a saving to the county. Adams count* no* has in various orphanages, twentythree children, tor, which the county is paying from twenty-five to thirtyfive cents a day for their maintenance. 1 This with the traveling expenses and others, makes a sum roughly estimated for exceeding ?200 a month, now going from Adams county funds to other orphanages. Besides this there is the large number of neglected children cared for by the township trustees which vlou’-d be given homes in such au institution, were one here. In this township alone, there are said to be twelve or fifteen such who are draining from (he township funds, besides not receiving the advantages of a gojJ home and training that they would if cared for in such an institution. The county commissioners are to be commended for their favorable view of the matter in appointing the committee for investigation, and wll no doubt carry the matter further to a favorable finish. O "i Martin Miller and family, who on Thursday held a sale of farm and personal property, are moving to the south part of the city, where they will Uve until arter school is out when they will go to Fort Wayne to make their home. Curtis Cline is recovering sufficiently from the injury to his eyes received some time ago when hot lead splashed in them, to be able to he out on the streets, though they are still hooded to prevent the glare of the "strong light. Mrs. Henry Ehresman, a well kniwn lady living near Pleasant Mills, is said to be quite dangerously sick from brain trouble and a complication of diseases. It is thought that she cannot recover. She has been ailing a year. Jay Hindman, attorney for Mrs. Rae Krauss, has thrown more disquietude into the minds of W. R. Krauss and his attorneys by stating through the Hartford City papera that there are three or four new witnesses whom he will introduce who have never before been, mentioned in the case. He will not state who they are, but promises some interesting developments. —Bluffton News.
