Mrs. Edith Dicer has been working for several days in the interest of the reading tables of the Decatur library, soliciting new subscriptions and re- . newals for the magazines, in which she is quite successful. The Decatur library's reading tables are said to be the best in any city in this sec- ' tlon of the country. Such Is the expression of the traveling public, representatives of which often spend the hours trains at the library, where nearly all the best-class magazines are found. *aese magazines have been generously contributed by the Various citizens, who have the interest, education and advancement of the populace at heart. Tfie Decatur ■. 7 ■

library is far ahead of many in urn i larger cities in this respect, the-great* , est number ,of w—-- ave only a few ' local papers, and as these are of interest only locally, and as the book shelves are open only to the resident population, there is really nothing with which a stranger in the city can employ his time. The Decatur library is very fortunate In being an exception In this respect, and her fame is growing abroad. o Trobe Cramer, formerly of this place, but now of Ossian, was in the city last evening as the guest of friends and left this morning for his home. . .

They left their hand car and trailer standing on the track, when extra freight, No. 23, going south, came upon them. Although the section crew flagged the train it 1b said the engineer paid no attention to the signal and ran into the cars, totally demolishing them. However, none of the gang was close enough to the collision to receive any injuries Memorial services will be held for the deceased members, Shelly Ray and Richard Andrews, of the Modern Woodmen lodge of this place, at the M.

Why can’t Monroe have one of her ; old-fashioned Fourth of July celebra- ? tions this year? Let’s get together 1 and start the ball rolling to accomplish a celebration to eclipse all form- [ er occasions. Let some of our enterprising citizens call a meeting and ; start the matter, and we are assured , first-class Fourth of July Celebration. Mbnroe has always done what she advertised and this year, if they can get the movement started, will be no exception to the rule. So let’s wake up and prepare for a big time on the glorious Fourth. Uncle James Johnson is putting a and otherwise remodeling ItCMFW block foundation,under his house and otherwise remodeling it. It will add much to its appearance 'when completed. Ben Smith has completed his autoMobile garage and has the same now fitted with crippled autos.

'■ ~. ■ The transcript qf a divorce suit instituted in the Allen superior court at Fort Wayne and later venued to the Adams circuit court at Decatur, arrived in this city Monday, being sent here on a change of venue from the latter place. Emil E. Volrol, a farmer of Allen county, is plaintiff in the suit and his wife, Sophia Volrol, is the defendant, and the allegations made in'the original complaint and in the cross-complaint filed prior to the venue of the case to the local court are filled with alleged domestic difficulties of a vile and sensational character. —Portland Sun.

The price es twenty-three cents here today,, dropped to twentytwo and will fall another cent or two by the first of the week, and the dealers are not over-anxious, even at this price, to'buy. Last year at this time the price was about twenty-eight to thirty cents. It is claimed that the Boston dealers alone carried over this year a hundred million pounds of wool, and that there is but very little market for any of this year’s product. It is predicted by eastern papers that the bottoih will fall out of the price before long because of the fact that the wool is not arriving from the central west and those who are holding the old will unload. The uncertainty of the woolen schedule in the tariff law is said to be-one of the causes, but it is more likely that the demand has not been so heavy for a year or two past. The question yas discussed at the meeting of the Wool Dealers’ association at Fort Wayne recently when the buyers of northeastern Indiana gathered, but could figure no way out V v O 111 — Joseph Henry Daniels, who for the past twenty years has served as telegraph operator for the Indiana Pipe Line company at the station at Preble, passed away Wednesday afternoon at 305 o’clock at the home of his sister, Miss Margaret Daniels, on Eighth street. Mr. Daniels had been suffering from heart trouble since the first of the year, and while the best of medical attention was given, he gradually grew worse and. for some time his condition has been considered hopeless. Three weeks ago yesterday, however, he came to this city to take further treatment and stopped at the home of his sister. It was not until Monday ofc this week that he became bedfast, since which time his decline was rapid. He was 'still in the prime Os life, being buti forty-six years, nine months and twenty-seven days of age. He was bom in this county July 25, 1863, on a farm three miles east of this city and was the son of Simpson and Elizabeth Daniels, both of whom have preceded him in death many years. May 30, 1889, he was married to Miss Minnie Cross., at the Cross homestead on Second street,, this city, and their life together was an unusually nappy one. ,Tney were blessed with the following children: Vd|lma, —arie, Nellie, Ruth, Harold, Paul and Robert, all of whom, with the mother survive. He also leaves two sisters —Mrs. Jennie Webster of Fort Wayne, and Miss Margaret Daniels of this city. His stepmother, Mrs. Amanda Daniels, preceded —m by only a few months. Arter their marriage he and his wife resided a year in this city and then went to Prebit, where they have liyed continuously since. He was perhaps one of the best known men in this section of the county, and will be sadly missed in his home, toe community, the business world, and wherever He was known. He was a faithful member of tne Christian church and of the Ben Hur lodge. The remains will not be taken to his home at Preble, but will lie at the home of his sister in this city, the funeral was held Saturday afternoon, the procession leaving the home at 2 o’clock for the Christian churcn, where the services were conducted by the Rev. B. F. Aspy of Eaton. Burial in Maplewood cemetery. The Ben Hur order will attend the funer-

Miss Pansy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Bell of this city, is preparing for an European trip that will prove a most enjoyable one, as well as delightfully educative —in fact Miss Pansy is choosing this in preference to a further course in college next year. She will leave June 21st in company with Mrs. Eva Gregg and daughter, Naomi, of Greencastle, the party sailing from New York. They will be gone about three months and their tour will include visits at all the principal places of interest in {Europe. They will also visit the Passion Play at Oberammergau, which is played by the people there every tenth year. Mrs. Gregg was the wife of Rev. Gregg, former pastor of the Methodist church here. o .„, MM OMHfTY TURKEYS. Mrs. EHera SeuecaaEer, (Harford 111, eayac “My neighbors have lost all their young turkeys. I have eighty head of fee Bourbon turkeys and I give them Bourbon Poultry Owe In the drinkiag water twice a week and have not lost any.” Hold W H. H. Eremsrfryfe “ o ■ Oh next Tuesday, May 24th, Col. Fred Reppert of this city will cry a public sale of Shorthorn cattle at Mansfield, Ohio, for the Maxwalton farm, one of the greatest of its kind in the world, and wnere Selection, the grand champion bull of America, was bred. Quite a number from here will attend this sale, and some of the great herd may come to Adams county. Mansfield is on the Chicago & Erie, and this makes it of easy access. It’s worth the trip to see the great farm. Colonel Reppert has catalogues which he will give to any one interested in this sale. The following day he will cry a sale at Elmendorf farm, Lexington, Ky. This farm, the greatest in the world, composed of 8,000 acres, and with a million dollar residence, is owned by James B. Haggins, America’s greatest stock raiser, millionaire, and owner of Brazil diamond mines. Both sales are admitted to be among the leading Shorthorn sales in the country for this year and the fact that Colonel Reppert ’wiil serve as auctioneer is conclusive proof that he is at the top of the heap in his profession. He would like to have as many as can from here to accompany him to either or both of these sales. Q To very few people is given the privilege of seeing Halley’s comet twice in its trips around the world and probably the only person in the county who remembers having seen it when it made its second last appearance seventy-five years ago, is Grandmother Caroline Ferry of this city, mother of Mrs. Dr. McMillan, with whom she makes her home. "As Grandmother Ferry is now ninety-five ( years of age, she was twenty years i old when the comet made its second < last appearance here. At that time ’ she made her home at Fort Wayne, ,

which was one of the strong Indian towns; The Indians, in their superstition, she said, were so frightened by the appearance of the unusual heavenly spectacle that they tried to shoot the comet with their bows and arrows, hoping in this way to put an end to it. So frightened were the ignorant and superstititious Indians •that they feared the world was coming to an end and all were in a panic. Two years prior to this, in occurred the “falling of the stars,” which was also another great heavenly spectacle, and the Indians—“-the white people, too—were much alarmed at this time, and ,trjed the bow and arrow stunt, hoping to overcome “the enemy” with these, their trusty weapons. ———o — FARMSTDR SAL.E.

George C. Steele of the Steele & Weaver racket store is convlhced that it pays to advertise. In WednesO. day evening’s issue of the Democrat he inserted an ad asking for clerks for > their extra force and the paper was no sooner out than the store was besieged with telephone calls or personal applications from a score or more of applicants ’for the position. He asked’that the ad be discontinued this evening to prevent any further rush. / The bright and clear, sunshiny weather of the past two days seems to confirm the contention of Edwin F. Naulty of New York that the tail of the comet is composed of neither gas nor of meteoric bodies: “The tail of Halley’s comet to all intents knd purposes is a celestial searchlight,” said Mr. Naulty today. It is nothing! more than sunlight .condensed from radiant solar energy and projected through the solar system precisely as a lens focuses, condenses and transmits light.” — — 1 q, A Cure Pw setpes. t's.
