Decatur Democrat, Volume 53, Number 16, Decatur, Adams County, 21 April 1910 — Page 6

Rev. Waldo, pastor of the United Brethren church, gave a graphic description Sunday evening of the laymen's convention held at Tomlinson hall, Indlanapollls the past week when the matter of evangelising the entire world in twenty-five years was the sole topic. Rev. Waldo’s report was stirring, Interesting and eloquent, when he gave to us the speech madei by Governor Marshall In welcoming the laymen, and the observations of ex-Vlce President Fairbanks, of his memorable trip around the world, and the expressions of missionaries from Corea, India, China, Japan and Africa. The movement is world-wide and Is undenominational and the sole purpose is to spread the gospel to all parts, of the world by sending missionaries to teach and educate the people. In order to do this Rev. Waldo insisted that It Is the duty of every one to aid by contributing freely to the cause. Forty-six pupils took the examinar tion for county graduation from the common schools held here Saturday. Os this number Jefferson, sent nine, Wabash eleven, Hartford ten, Monroe six and Geneva ten. Geneva, Ind., April 18 —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Perry I* Burk, first - and oldest rural carrier in Adams county, died at 5 o’clock this morning, aged about sixtyfour years. He traveled his route until about six weeks ago, when he became ill and sank gradually into the long sleep which knows no awakening. He was an ex-soldier, a member of the G. X R-, and well known in this part of the county. He is survived by the wife and two daughters. The funeral services will be held from the house at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Rev. King, a former pastor here, officiating by request of the diseased. Interment at Studabaker cemetery.

Martin L. Ruple, formerly of thia county, died Sunday morning at 11 o’clock near Portland. He was eighty years old and death was due to in* firmities. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock from the Union U. B. church at West Liberty in Jay county, j The base ball game here Saturday between Pennville and Geneva high school teams resulted in favor of the Geneva boys, 18 to 9. Roy Edgar, the new left-handed pitcher for Geneva, pitched a fine game, while the Pennville twirler was a little wild. The Pennville boys played Montpelier a week before and lost a thirteen inning game by a score of 15 to 14. Nevt Saturday Geneva plays Decatur, and our boys are going after the Decatur lads with lard in their hair. Lovers' of the sport will see a good game if they attend at Decatur. Our boys are kids, but they are there with the goods. I A f M. £• Hutton will open Ms new picture show On Wednesday of this Week and the place will be open each Wednesday and Saturday from now on. Lovers of the show will please take notice and govern themselves accordingly, as all know that Mr. Hutton secures the best shows on the road. At the annual convention of the Pythian Sisters of the Sixth district to be held at Portland April 28th, Mrs. Dr. Graham of this place is to be on the program for a vocal solo. The lodge here is planning to attend and is anticipating a good time. I * Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Velaya and Mrs. Clara Harris and daughter, Nellie, who left here April sth for Seattle, arrived April 10th at 9:20, all having enjoyed the trip and all feeling fine. i Alex Michaels of three and onehalf miles west of Geneva had a narnow escape from death last Friday. He was drawing pipe from an abandoned oil well and was working alone when the rope broke and the heavy tongs struck Alex on the head. He was rendered unconscious and laid an hour before he was found. His nose was mashed ahd he received an ugly gash on the forehead. Dr. Graham dressed the injuries and it is

believed he will get along all right. " '-4j- o WHEN YOU PUT ON STOCKINGS. Os the heavier sort, do your shoes pinch, and your feet swell and perspire? If you shake Allen’s Foot Ease in your shoes, it will give you rest and comfort, and instant relief from any annoyance. Sold everywhere, 25c. Don’t acept any substitute. o It is likely that a special train will not be run from Decatur next week ? for the convention, but a large number will go. All have different ideas as to when they should go and how and when they want to return, so that it Is impossible to arrange for a special. ■MD39nmssea=sssss=”==>a=====9 Children Cry Ft* FLCTCHETS O-ASTORIA **Xt* -

I Mrs.-. W. A. Kuebler has received • the following Jeter from her brother, Frank Barthel, at Fairbanks, i Dear Sister: Well, I received both t of your letters some time ago. I re- > celved the first one you wrote last ' and the last one first. Well, you can ’ tell Mrs. Sholty that there are no 5c > and 10c stores in Alaska. They don't ) have anything cheap up here. They > get good prices and they only han- ! die the best of everything. I could 1 not fihd a plate with anything on of I Alaska, and the cheapest plate with 1 any kind of decoration on cost $5.00 • up to $50.00. A tin pie pan costs 1 twentyfive cents. Well, don’t tell me • what good stuff you have to eat any 1 more, because It makes me hungry. • All we get to eat now is canned stuff and awful stale at that, except moose, > caribou and mountain sheep, grouse and pthyconlans. I have had one > glass of milk since I have been here. The rest Is all evaporated milk. I eat stuff here I wouldn’t look at at • home, but you have to eat It or go ' hungry. Saturday it rained all day. ■ We got the Johnson and Ketchell ' fight pictures and we showed them at the auditorium last Saturday night They cost Bill and Fred almost S6OO for one month. They charged $1.50 1 and $2.00 a ticket, and had a pretty ; good house. Monday I have to go out to ChatsSuW of “the mining creeks, and do a lot of wiring, so we will have electricity. We are going to show the pictures out there. I have been showing them all week in the saloon free, and you ought to see the crowds come in to see them. Well, we are having pretty nice weather and if it don’t change the people think the ice will go out in about two months from n»w. The trails are getting awful and the stages hard to travel at night when it gets cold and freezes again. AH the mails are coming in from one to three days late, but it can’t be help-

ed in Alaska. Any old thug goes here. Well, in a month or so we will have midnight sunset It will set or go down, and tn about twenty minutes it will rise again about ten feet from where it went down. That is, it looks about that tar, and it’ don’t go clear down. On one side you can see the sun set and on the other see it hise at the same time. And then about that time we will havb mdnight base ball games. It will be daylight all day and all night for about six months. Well, it is almost 4 o’clock in the morning and I have got the steam turned on and the back door open. The mines on the creeks are commencing to open up now and maybe business will get better. The Malmutes dogs are howling now like they do every night. They don’t bark. They cry or howl like a wolf. They are half wolf and when you hear about four of them howling you would think there were thirty or forty 'of them. When a dog howls like that* in Decatur they say some one is going to die. If that was the case up boro everybody in Alaska would have been dead long ago. About onehalf of the men up here have from two to twelve dogs. They take the place of horses here. I have lots of time on my hands now. I only work five hours a night, from 8 until 1, and then I have all day to myself. But maybe this summer I can get some wiring to do from the N. C. company, the people I worked for last summer. Then I can make a little money. But if business don’t pick up I guess they won’t be busy and then their steady men can do all the work, but I may be able to make a few dollars on the side. I can’t save much at the wages I am getting now. The wages are good enough, but the hours are too short —one dollar an hour, but ’ only five hours. Old Herman Barthel was in tonight and set it up about a dozen times, and said, "Why ■ don’t you come down and see me? * You are welcome any time, and the • side door is always open, so some in - and make yourself at home.” ’ I guess I will go up to his brewery r some of these days when it gets » warm and see him. His family is out--1 side this winter. He used to get all 3 of my mail, but for the last three i months the postmaster woke up and *• now he puts it in the California's b box. When the ice goes out it takes

the bridge along with it and then the people that live across the slough have to pay twenty-five cents to get ferried across. The slough is about fifty feet in front of the California and all the boats stop there. I had some new onions last week. They were raised in the greenhouse. They can only raise stuff in the greenhouses in the summer time, because in winter time it is dark and the stuff won’t grow in the dark. Bill Scheymer told me they had lOOcandle power electric light put In their green house, but the stuff would not run from electric light This is a funny country. It is thought to have been a warm country at one time years and years ago, but the Lord knows it is a cold one now. We have had winter for six months now, and we will have ft for

two or thre months yet Well, toy girl deserted me and left Alaska. T got a letter from here yesterday! from Seattle, but when she was in Alaska she was at Juneau, and that is 1200 miles from here. * I guess I have told you all the hews I know for this time. Leo jtist came home. I guess I will have to close and go to bed. About one-half the people in Alaska have bum stomachs from eating this canned stuff one gets up here. FRANK BARTHEL. -■ 1 o- 1 ■ ‘ ■ Evangelist D. B. Rickard, of the Baptist State Evangelistic assorts tion, conducted the usual excellent Sunday services at the church in this city Sunday, which were largely at tended. The interest shown is due largely to Evangelist Rickard, whc has labored for many weeks for the charge here. The evening services which were held here for so long were discontinued a week ago, and Evangelist Rickard transferred hit attention during the week to the Bap tist church at Pleasant Mills, where he conducted services every evening coming to this dty to hold the regu lar Sunday services. The local congregation Sunday unanimously voted to extend a call to the Rev, Ehle oi Bronson, Mich., to serve as pastoi here and will await with much inter est his answer. 'ReV. ishie preached in this city a week ago, and so favor able Impressed the congregation, noi only with his eloquent sermons, but as a pastor and'minister in general that they have decided to extend bin a call. Rev. Ehle has charge of ar excellent church at Bronson, and it is not known whether he will decide to leave that field. It is the fntentior of the local church to have a pastoi here permanently and there wae great rejoicing when the salary ot SI,OOO for the pastor was raised, oi nearly so, with the exception of only W- ; ZU Z;

O-— ■ ■■■—■ WILL MAKE AN EXTENDED TRIP Howard Shackley Will Leave Boon for Long Trip Through Want Howard Shackley, who for a num ber of years never came down intc the business section of town, but whc recently has been looking up old acquaintances, has planned a several months’ trip which he expects tc make soon. He will leave here In about ten days for Chicago, where he will undergo an operation for the removal of a'cataract from his eyes If this is successful, as he ie assured it will be, he will leave there for a visit with friends in Wisconsin, then proceed to North and South Dakota, then visit relatives in Nebraska, and from there go to Wichita, Kans., and then to Little Rock, Arkansas, and then back home, arriving next fall. —1 U. One of the business enterprises of Decatur, which is booming at this time, and which gives every encouragement of growing into a big industry is that of the Burdg Brothers, manufacturers of B. B. Ointment From the making of this medicine on a small scale for use in bls barber shop, Al Burdg finally turned, the business over to his sons, who are building up a wonderful trade. Mrs. Burdg and daughter, Miss Merle' travel almost constantly, demonstrating and each day the firm receives a large number of orders. They are advertising extensively and the concern will soon spring into a large one of its kind. They are hustlers and Charles Burdg, who is taking care of the business end of the factory at home, knows his business and is paying that attention necessary to make it win. The factory is located on Monroe street in the Burdg block. The cash sales of Saturday alone were >125 and this was not an unusual occurrence. From this it may be seen that they are in line for a big business and one that we predict will one day employ a large number of people. They are at present using as much or more printed matter as any one in this section of the country. ■ ■ ' ' » Rudapast, April 18 —(Special to 1 Daily Democrat)—Colonel Theodore 1 Roosevelt’s visit in Budapest has cost i the chief of police a broken leg and 1 fatalities in the immense crowd of ' Hungarian people gathered here are > not unexpected as a result of the efft thusiasm over the great American, t which has already resulted in hysi teria. When the crowd saw Roos--1 velt it made a mad rush and the col- ' onel was literally lifted off his feet r in the rush and carried forty feet be- - fore he toucher terra flrma. He - emerged unscratched from the jam f made by the joyous crowd, but the - chief of police was caught and when i the crowd gave way slightly it was i found the officer had received a frac--1 tured leg, which will confine himfor some weeks. The colonel today gave ’ a startling revelation of his demoe- ■ racy. After visiting with the nobility , he called at the home of Francis Kos- ? suth, the leader of the opposition parj ty. Kossuth is ill and unable to leave r the house, and he was overjoyed at the visit of the famous Roosevelt.
