One of the largest funerals held from the St. Mary’s church for some time was the one Thursday when Mrs. John Peter Baker was laid to rest. The services were held at 10 o’clock with Father Wilken in charge, who I spoke at some length of the many good 1 qualities of the deceased lady. The church was well filled with the many ! relatives and friends who wished to i pay their last respects to her. Many < ' from out of the city were in attend- ; ance, she having left a wide circle to mourn their loss. Interment was - made at the St.. Joseph cemetery. . ; - TO MARKET NEW INVENTION. > ’ - ■ J. D.

PARKHURST CAN SIT UP. Man Who Had Back Broken. |a Slowly Improving. t ' . — ■ ■« «■— Fred A. Parkhurst, the baker, who received a broken back in the Kingsland wreck on September 21st, will be able to sit up in a chair this evening or tomorrow if arrangements which are under way are carried out An apparatus has been qiade so that , the injured man will be able to nit in a chair, without keeping the spine from healing rapidly and this, it is thought, will make his improvement more rapid. A ladder apparatus is also being built which Parkhurst will use in stretching the muscles in his arm? and legs. The exercises that he will go through with will greatly strengthen him, according .to the attending physician. , Since, being brought home from the Fort Wayne hospital Parkhurst has been in, the same cheerful mood al jthough bis. condition has not been .improving as.rapidly as was looked J for. He is under the care of trained ■ nurses and everything possible will be done, for his comfort. —Bluffton i Banner. _ , -o- —.—, The Brotherhood of American Yeomen held their annual election of offl- i , cersj Monday evening, the remainder ( of the staff to be appointed. The offi- ( cers will enter upon their duty the first of the year. The following were 1 i elected: / I Foreman—S. E. Brown. [ Master of Ceremonies—Ben Garard. ; Correspondent—Mrs. James .Bain. i Master of Accounts —John Sc Cramer. ; Chaplain—Mrs. U. E. Cramer. A very interesting session bf the' , Knights of Columbus was held at their hall Monday evening, when the election of officers for the ensuing 1 year took place. A large number' ■ were in attendance and order was 1 called by Grand Knight C. S. Niblick ; at 7:30 o’clock. The past year has been a very successful one for the or-'-der and those who have been in j charge during this time are deserving (( .of much praise for the manner in ; which the work was carried on. The | retiring officers have performed their .duties well and with the new ones ; 'which were elected Monday evening ( ( the coming year is assured of the j i success which they have enjoyed for i . 1910. Those who will serve for the coming year and who will take their ’ offices the first of January are as fol- ; lows: ‘ !j I Grand Knight—Br. H. F. Coatpllo. I Deputy Grand Knight—Thomas j Malley. Chaplain—Father Flaherty. ' i Lecturer—D. D. Coffee. t . j Chancellor—Julius Heldeman/ i Recording Secretary—Joseph Lose. ] Warden—Lenus Meyers. 1 < financial Secretary—D. N, Niblick.

Niblick. i Alternates—Charles Christen and j Andrew Schurger. j The members will at once set to work for the taking in of a new class of candidates, which will take place some time in the spring. 1 — -o— Miss Agnes Costello, who for the past two years and two months has < served most efficiently as stenograph- ] er for the law firm of Peterson & Mo- | ran, has resigned her position, the , resignation taking effect this evening. , She will leave at once . for Fort > Wayne, where Wednesday morning : she will begin work as stenographer ] for the S. F. Bowser coiripany. Miss Costello, who is a graduate of the Ft Wayne Business college, is one of the best stenographers in the city. The new position she takes is quite a promotion. Besides carrying with it a handsome increase in salary, it also has many advantages favorable for promotion. During her service for Peterson & Moran in this city she proved herself highly capable, and : leaves with their very best letters of recommendations add best wishes for the new and better opening. Miss Costello will make her home in Fort Wayne with her aunt, Mrs. Emma McMullen, but as the position has a Saturday afternoon holiday, she will come home Saturday afternoon to spend her week-end at her home here, making it mutually agreeable for herself and her family and friends here. Messrs. Peterson & Moran have not yet chosen her successor. | —-——Q— r-Thirty-one years ago this month, H. H. Harruff, the real estate man, then a hustling young farmer, was admitted into the mysteries of the St. Mary’s I. O. O. F. lodge of this city. It was quite an occasion for him, one of which he has always been proud qnd for sixteen yea. s past, as near the date as possible he has treated the lodge brothers in some way or other. Monday evening at a session of the! brotherhood, he distributed to all I

those pres t be tis 1 bl Pies, from his Michigan fam' They were delicious and were enjoyed to the limit, even including the core. A good time was had by all present and Mr. Harruff’s ect will probably be followed by others. While not the oldest member of the order, in point of years, he is among them, and has always been an ardent and faithful Odd Fellow. The thirty-one years' x bave slipped around rapidly and the hours in the lodge room have furnisheTmany happy incidents for Mr. Harruff and his brothers. ■ 'O—ORDERS ROAD SOLD MARCH 15. Judge Sets Date For Transfer of Title of C. B. & C. Railway. ?’ Jiuntlngton, Ind., Dec. 6—Judge Cook this afternoon set March 15th' for the sale of the C. B. &. C. road at the Huntington court house. The upset, price is fixed at SBOO,OOO. The debts of the road are nearly $3,000,000 and the'property is not good for even the first mortgage bonds to bring face value, while $250,000 in general claims may, not get one cent. An organization of bondholders and , stockholders will probably buy in the road to conserve property, but other Systems would look with favor on the' short line if they could get it at a bargain counter price. The sale is made on the petition of ttip Union Trust company of Indianapolis, holder of receiver’s certificates, which are first liens against the property. | ■ .1 The grand jury is closing up their investigations which have been on now about two weeks. They will very probably report some time to-, morrow. Guessing from the witness-' es used and the time spent, there will be quite a grist, and of various sorts. Butcher & Armantrout of Geneva.' filed a new case entitled Acker Teeple vs. Michael O. Kranor, suit on judgment, demand $51.52. The case was consolidated with No., 8031,1 wherln J. B. Stoneburner filed suit against Mr. Kranor on note and attachment, demanding $l5O. Judgment rendered in both cases. • J Alice M. Bittner vs. Clarence Blttnerr et al., partition, additional sec- ’ ond paragraph of complaint filed. D. E. Smith appointed guardian ad litem for minors. ' Charles C. Schug et al. vs. Sarah J. Passon et al., to set aside final re- ‘ port, demurrer to second paragraph ■ of joint answer sustained. Cause set for trial Wednesday, December 21st. | Edward F. Leland vs. Henry Craw-' ford et al., on bond. By agreement filed this cause was ordered certified back to the Allen superior court at cost of defendants. A final report was filed and allowed in the David J. Bailey et al. petition for drain and Superintendent Ernst discharged. Clara Eckert vs. M. B. & E. Traction Co., appearance by Lutz for defendants. All depositions ordered published. Before the bell in the old court house tower clangs out its six taps this evening, the last brick will have Deen laid on Mercer avenue, the sand spread and the street ready for ceptance by the city. The J. J- Kelleher company of-Frankfort has kept Its pledge and kept it welt They could have, according to contract, dragged the work out over the winter months, but when the councJ awarded the job to him, Mr. Kelleher said he would finish the job this fall, if possible, and that he would do ft well. He has kept that promise fofthfully. The improvements on Adems street and Mercer ayenue are splendid ones, and good to look at. The contractors began work on November 2nd, and have never let up. On the two streets they have set nearly a milHon brick, the exact number being 506,472 on Adams street and 447,764 on Mercer avenue. The last ear of brick arrived Monday and the boys were ready for it By noon today the last brick was along the street and wftbin an hoyr or two the Job was completed, save for the spreading of the sand. It Is likely that the city council, at the regular session this evening will accept the street and will give Mr. Kelleher their praise for his promptness and care. The contractor has won a place in(4fi© hearts of Decatur people and may be called on" in the future when Improvements are needed. New. York, N. Y., Dec. 6—(Speclal to Dally Democrat)—Balked In their attempts to evade the payment of duty on goods purchased abroad by the recent vigorous enforcement of the laws at the Port of New York, American smugglers are operating by way of the Canadian border.

ABOUT'THE ?ICK. Frank De Voss is still confined to his home with bronchitis and a very severe cold. This is his second week of illness, he having been unable to ' attend school last week. Miss Edna Boase, daughter of Mr. ’ and Mrs. Frank Bosse, who has been jjulte ill with an attack of lagrippe and fever, Is somewhat improved.

Her condition Is very low. • - - - O’.- !'■ The Loyal Men’s Bible class of the Christian Bible school, which now numbers more than twenty-five strong, are planning to give an oyster supper a week from next Thursday evening at the home of one of their number, George C. Steele, on North Fifth street. Each man will invite one or/ more of his man friends and it is expected that a grand and most .thoroughly enjoyable time will be in store for all those who attend. The ' teacher of this class is Rev. J. M. 1 Dawson, the pastor of the Christian 1 church, who, since his short time of ! service here, has built up the slass from its very few members to the rej markably strong number of twentyfive. They hope to reach the fifty ‘ mark soon and are making rapid strides to that end. The supper to be held will be a jolly good social gathering for the members and their friends, and those so fortunate as to be on the invitation list are anticipating a royally good time. r- -o— DR.
