So Man Ts Stoner • ~ Than His Stomach A strong man ia strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease W« «f the stomach and its associated organs, which im- ■* pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man “ doesn't feel just right," ■■■■■■»>■** when he doesn’t sleep well, has an uncomfortable Mmg in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despot ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. , | Sara* « man should mo Dr. PltNfi Goldtr Htdlctl Discovery. It cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of dlgutioa and nutrition. It enriches the blood, invigorates the liver, strengthens the hidaeys, nourishes the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH AND STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY.

Herman Yager and Charles Niblick returned Wednesday night from Gary, where they represented the local Knights of Columbus order at the annual state convention Tuesday and Wednesday. They report a splendid covention, about one hundred delegates from the various councils over the state, besides a large number of other members, being in attendance. The convention next year will be held at Richmond May 10th. Besides the pleasure and interest resulting from the convention, the Decatur men derived much pleasure from a visit to this hustling city, which is said to have had the most rapid growth of any city in the world. They brought With them some views demonstrating this without a doubt. One shows the mayor, with others, in 1906, Ikying out the town in what was then a park-like clearing, with not a house jn view. A picture of the spot in 1907 shows the place taking on the appearance of a town, with a number of beautiiul dwellings and tents, with the streets partially opened and improved. A picture of 1910 shows a most up-to-date pity of 20,000 inhabitants, with the beautiful and commodius dwellings and business houses, and miles and miles of paved streets, cements side- • walks and many large buildings, including fine hotels that would do justice to a large city of the east. The Decatur men paid a visit to the large steel plant and were shown over this wonderful structure, watching it in operation. o — Indianapolis, Ind., May 12 —Is a migration. from Indiana in progress or is race suicide affecting the school enumeration This is the question of the hour at the office of the state superintendent of public instruction, Robert J. Aley. Reports of the enumeration in twenty-four counties have been received, and in nineteen of these there is a decrease in comparison with last year. Huntington county seems to be in worse- condition than any other so lar heard from, as that county now las no more children of school age than it had during the Civil war. Wabash and , Handcock counties show the heaviest numerical loss. While the net loss of the total of tue twenty-four counties is only 650, this is due to the big increases in Lake county, which shows a gain of 1,208. To this increase Gary contributes 344 and East Chicago 421. Hammond and Whiting shbw slight losses. AlIfcn county shows a gain of ninetynine. The enumeration puts at rest the

: speculation which has existed in school circles in view of the annexation fever that hit Lake county recently. With each' of the cities 'n 1 that county looking on others as legitimate prey for annexation, with city councils passing annexation ordinances, it was thought likely that if the union of those cities proved valid Fort Wayne would be displaced in its membership on the state board of education. The figures, however, show the combined enumeration of Hammond, Gary, Whiting and East Chicago is 13,745, while Fort Wayne shows a total of 16,658 children of school age. The wedding of Miss May Spuller, daughter of Mrs. Martha Spuller, east of the city, to Mr. Earl Butler, one of Decatur’s rural mail carriers, will take place May 18th at the home of the bride’s mother. Thirty-five ladles of the German Reformed Aid society were entertained Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Henry Moyer. Among the business matters to be discussed were the various plans to be adopted for the making* of money for the society. The order was divided into sections, each to vie with the othet in raising the largest amount of money \mtil Thanksgiving. The« collection Wednesday amounted to $8.55. Mrs. Chris Voght, president, read an invitation from the St. John’s German Reformed church of Fort Wayne, asking the Decatur society to join them May 25th in celebrating the golden jubilee or fiftieth anniversary of its organization. The Decatur delegation will go down on the 1 o’clock afternoon car. The festivities will open at 2 o’clock with a program in which the visiting societies will take part, and in the evening, beginning at 7 o’cock, there will be a musical program. The Decatur society hopes to return the compliment soon by inviting the Fort Wayne order to its silver jubilee In September. r*« ,l "■■ ■■ ■■ 1 ■ St. Louis, Mo., May 12—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Thirteen persons, are known to have been drowned when the steamer Saltillo sank in the Mississippi river, near Sulphur Spring, twenty-four miles south of St Louis. The accident occurred last night and the bodies were recovered this morning. Most of the crew escaped. The steamer was bound from St Louis to Kankakee when it struck a rock within reach of shore off Glenbark. The vessel turned turtle and sank, trapping the passengers underneath the water. The dead are: Mrs. Isaac Rhea of Nashville,, wife of the president of the Kankakee ’ Traffic company and owner of the Saltillo; Miss Annie Rrea, daughter of Mrs. Rhea; S. C. Baker, vessel clerk, St. Louis; Mrs. Joseph Harris, Nashville; William J. Pickett, sailor, St. Louis; Mrs. Archie Peterson and five-year-old son, Nashville; Fowler Post, vessel clerk, St. Loris; Miss Lena Walls, Nashville; cabin boy and two routabouts, whose names are uuknpwa. The accident was the worst reported on the river in many years. o MR. HARRUFF ENJOYS FISHING. Sends the Skin of a Beautiful Speckled Trout to Prove Success. H. H. Harruff, the real estate man, who is just now looking after bis land interests at Fremont, Mich., writes us that he has been enjoying the spring fishing in his neighborhood immensely, and that he has been reasonably successful for a tenderfoot. He enclosed in the letter the skin of a beautiful speckled trout which he caught, and which he relished after it had been duly prepared for his breakfast. Trout and other game fish are plentiful in the waters of that section of the country. O ! — Death is the arch gleaner in the fields of time. Each day is harvest day and each soul is ripened again. after windrow he mows down the human race. He spares not young man nor maiden nor him who stoops with age. Each going down leaves a void unfilled in some human breast; but the patriot’s death

1 i 1 ' 111 1 I LI I I I Ttt.Tei o't the church, then the life and death of tne soldier who ottered his life as a willing sacrifice fbr the preservation pf tpe Union, must remain the most fruitful germ in the formation of American character. It is well for people to live in the present and to plan for the future, but it is well for a people to forget the past. Thus far, in our history, we have not ceased to remember the toil, devotion and sacrifice of the living and the dead, who, from ’6l to ’65, counted all else naught if thereby they might preserve the union of the States. Year by year, with the beauty of the lily and the fragrance of the rose, We seek to voice about their graves the gratitude of the American to the hero of that age. • Only a few now stand near the portale of that i door which never outward swings. ■ This year as they bedew with tears ■ the graves of their long-gone comi panions in arms, let the people of - Indiana reverently lay aside their usual i avocations and join in this solemn - service. Let them make the day one t of solemn consecration to the rights ■ of men and of saddened reverence for i that shedding of blood without Which, ’ thus far, in the world’s history, there , has been no remission of sin. i In the hope that such w|ll be the : character of that day, I, Thomas R- > Marshall, governor of the state of ’ Indiana, do hereby designate’and set apart Monday, May 30, 1910, as Memorial Day, and do proclaim , the , same to be a legal holiday throughout : the state. May all that is said that ' day come from lips afire with patrioti Ism and hearts aglow with love for the hero dead and the herd living. Done at the capital in Indianapolis and given under my hand and the great seal of the state of Indiana this 11th day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ten, and in tue year of the independence of the United States one hundred thirtyfourth.

Fledderjohann, steward, went to Fort Wayne this morning to attend a meeting of the pastors and stewards of the Methodist churches of the Fort Wayne ; district, which will be held in the First Methodist church there, beginning at 1 o’clock.

(United Press Servioe.) Fort Wayne, Ind., ,May 12—<Spet> ial to Daily Democrat)—Father Patrick Roach, for nine years pastor of the Cathedral of the immaculate Conception, died here today, aged fifty-, eight years. $ ’Squire J. H. Smith, before whom was , held the proceedings on the search warrant, charging C. D. Murray with maintaining a blind tiger, gave his decision at noon Thursday, holding that the search warrant had been Issued on merit and that he would order the liquor destroyed as provided in the statutes of Indiana. However, the attorneys for 'the defense have notified the court that they will appeal to the circuit court where the case will again be heard. ; the evidence Was completed Wednesday afternoon and a continuance taken until 10 o'clock next morning, when the argumets were,heard, an hour on each side being allowed. Speeches were made by H. B. Heller and C. J. Lutz for the state and by Shafer Peterson and D. E. Smith for the defense, at the close of which the court gave his decision. o A large assembly at Bosse’s, opera house Wednesday evening witnessed the best amateur''play that Decalfir people have ever had the privilege to see, “The Man in the Iron Mask,” by the dramatic club of St. Peter’s Catholic church, Fort Wayne. The play was a deep tragedy, one of W. J. Lucas’ best, covering a period from 1657 to -1680. Mt portrayed the deep life tragedy and sorrows of the twin brother of Louis- XIV, king of France, who was put away in youth and kept ignorant of his royal birth that his brother might reign. He falls in love with a lovely and true girl of nobility, but her father forbids her marriage with the nameless youth, and sha is wedded to an aged nobleman. The youth afterwards learns of his right also to the throne, and makes -an attempt to gain it, but his brother, with : the aid of aspiring noblemen, banish 1 him to an island prison, where an i iron mask is kept over his face, which

IB ; their love during ’ their life meet several times; but not to be united. The last meeting was i at the prison, when the girt, now a woman, and a Sister of Mercy, ap- > pears to administer to the wants of the sick man, and who was present at , his death. The parts were portrayed with most excellent and true manner , by each character, and reflect great credit upon Father Aichinger, who has had their training In charge. The costumes, which were of the Louis XIV style and most beautiful, were furnished by William Beck & Sons of Cincinnati. The club also brought with them a part of the scenery and Orth’s orchestra of Fort Wayne furnished music between acts. The players, accompanied by a large number of friends from Fort Wayne, made the trip in a special car, arriving at 7 o’clock. " ■ ; --ix aJ . i —?O * — -J. ON WOMAN’S RIGHTS. Mrs. Porter Does Not Believe In Theory of Suffragist But in Home. “Woman’s Rights” evidently do not worry a certain Miss Elnora Cornstock, who has recently formulated a definition of the duties of a wife so delightfully old-fashioned, yet after all so practical, that it is well worth making public. ' Miss. Comstock says: “I understand that when a man asks a woman to be his wife he desires her to keep him a clean house, serve him digestible food, mother nis children, and give him loving sympathy and tenderness. To make at real home for a tired business man is | a very different kind of work from that required to be a leader of society.” We venture to doubt if the suffragists can claim Miss Comstock, and we suspect that the creator of this lovable, close-to-nature heroine of “The Giri of the Limberlost," a publication of Doubleday, Page & Company, Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter, may be enlisted in the ranks of their opponents, shoulder to shoulder with Josephine Daskam Bacon, who makes so strong a plea for the home in ’in the Border Country,” by the same publishers.

Nldlinger, the well known stock farmer, will be pleased to learn that his health is better than it has been for a year and that he and his son are planning to push the Duroc business this year stronger than ever. He has already begun preparations for his fan sale, which promises to be, a tentime winner. The Swine Breeders’ Journal, printed at Indianapolis, has this to say of the Nidlingers in a recent issue: “For the past year J. D? Nidlinger, Decatur, Ind.; has been on the sick list, but we are pleased to say that J. D.’s time for improvement has come, for he looks hearty enough now to take the part of the strong man in a side show. Along with his better health his hustling qualities crop out. He says he and his son, Earl, are going to push the Duroc business stronger than ever, for with one of' the greatest herds of Holstelns in Indiana to draw on for that good pig developer, they will make the sev-enty-five pigs stop some for their fall sale. Their herd of brood sows are extra in length and size, and as -to blood lines, all the good families of east and west are represented. Besides the above pigs they have eight sows to farrow. Their pigs are sired by their western boar, Crimson Wonder Jim by Crimson Wonder II by Old Crimson Wonder, that has done so much in the west. He is a strong

Hoagland and Miss Ada Mallonee, two of Root township’s best known residents, were quietly married Wednesday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the Methodist parsonage by the Rev. Sherman Powell. The groom has resided for a number of years an a farm north of the city/ but has purchased the Bracht property, corner of Monroe and Fourteenth streets, and he and his bride will make their home there. The best wishes of all will accompany them through life. — —oIf the very many people who have the nibbling or sampling habit at the expense of the butcher or grocer would stop to consider they would find that this, means a very great loss to the business man. Quite frequently one sees a customer enter a store or butcher shop and after buying a dime’s worth of meat or a pound of raisins, pick up a piece of bologna, dries beef, pressed ham, the more displsed liver worst and cut off a large piece and proceed to eat it while his meat is being wrapped up without paying anything extra therefor. A local reporter, ndtlng this'habit, which is a very frequent one, spoke to one of the Decatur business men regarding it, and some very clear figlures going to the loss column of the company’s register were drawn. The loss, of course, on one piece would be very little, but suppose every one of the three or four hundred customers who come dally, should do just that thing. It would be a very short time,' as high as meat is now, until the butcher's* loss Would be much more than the profits and he would soon be obliged to shut down the business mill as well as the bologna mill. Suppose six customers should reduce a ring of bologna, leaving nothing but the meatless ring—it would take fifty rings of bologna to supply these samplers. And counting each ring ten cents, it would mean just five dob iars a day out of the butcher’s till, which ,according to the their figures, is more than the day’s profit would be. The higher priced meats sampled would show even a greater loss. The grocers have the same habit with which to contend, .and the public should bear In mind the fact-that the “goods cost.” * -r -O — ■ Muncie, Ind., May 13—(Special to Daily Democrat)-—Three more arrests were made today on affidavits charging former saloonkeepers with keeping blind tigers. All the men put up bond and were released. The Law and Order Enforcement League claim to have positive proof against more than one hundred citizens, including drug store men and a .number of promient people and that each will be prosecuted. It is expected that the case will cause about the largest sensation of the kind ever known in Muncie. Kansas City, Mo., May 13—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The defense turned the spotlight on Mrs. Manson Hyde ad her unborn'babe this afternoon in its effort to secure an acquittal • fdr Dr. Hyde. Addressing the .jiiry, Attorney Brewster for the defense said: “They can’t hang this man unless you say so. You know there is a chance for an awful mistake.” Hyde and his wife wept and the jurors and Prosecutor Reed wiped their eyes. The case will go to the jury by tonight. Hamburg, Germany, May 13—(Special to Dally Democrat)—Five sailors .were killed and two fatally wounded today by an explosion on board the German torpedo boat S-33, cruising near Heligoland. This is the seventh, fatal accident aboard German vessels this year. . — -o---—»— —— REMAINS IN THE WEBT. Philip Auth Likes Colorado and Will Probably Not Return. Rlesen Mumma, Who, with his son-in-law, Philip Auth, went to Akron, Colorado, several weeks ago, Where they looked over the land prospects, has returned. Mr. Auth, however, has decided to remain and will probably not return to this city. Neither purchased land, but Mr. Auth expects to as soon as he can decide upon a location. George and Levi Mumma, and Daniel Cook, who were in Colorado several months ago and purchased large tracts of land, will leave the latter part of July or the first of August for their new acquisitions and will begin the life of the farmer at once. The Messrs. Mumma will be accompanied by their sister, Mrs. and children, who will join her husband there.
