The Evangelical Ladies’ Aid held a rousing good business meeting at the home of Mrs. Fred Linn Thursday afternoon. As this was the first meeting of the year a schedule of the work for ! the next twelve months was laid out. Instead of meeting monthly it will hold meetings every two weeks, and it is planned to divide the society into sections for the work. The order took upon itself the obligation of raising SIOO for the endowment fund for the ( Evangelical college at Naperville, and is planning much work for the coming season. Th* society has a large band Os willing workers and the president, Mrs Una, with her co-workers, are antieipatiag a very fruitful aad profitable y*M. Aaother eae es the effleers w«e iTi i—M ■— ■ M

J. A. Smith, the vice president. Mrs. Smith has served faithfully for twelve years as president, and is in her fifth year as vice president. The society has been doing a noble work. In spite of the unusually wet and Areary weather of Thursday evening, the Needlecraft club had a good attendance at the home of Miss Clara Hultemeier on North Third street, where they spent the hours delightfully in sewing and conversation, laying aside, the sewing later in the evening to enjoy the delicious luncheon, which the hostess served in two courses. There were present the Misses Sue and Celia Mayer, Agnes Glllig, Mamie Kitson, Vernla Smith, Dessie Beery, Eleanor Getting and Jessie Magley. Greeting from Miss Lena Dickinson, a former member of the club, who has gone to Cleveland, Ohio, to enter a nurse’s training school, were read with much pleasure. Miss Celia Mayer will entertain next week. ®—— An insanity board, consisting of Drs. Ernst Franz and A. Reuser and ’Squire Joel Liddy. held an inquest on Fred Zurch.r, who was declared insane and recommended to a hospital for treatment. He is twenty-two years old, lives in Monroe township, farmer, and unmarried. His mind has been affected since 1907, following his collapse from beat while working in a hay field, and has had several relapses since. He has recently became violent, has struck his father and forbidden him to return home under penalty of death, threatened to kill his doctor. One sister, five uncles and two aunts died of consumption. Sheriff Durkin went out to the home and brought him to jail, where he will be kept until admitted to East Haven. He has had six violent attacks during the past seven months, each one worse than the one previous. o Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 13—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Although the police believe Alice Goehler of Guthrie, Indiana, carefully planned to slay Carl Storey, the son of a wealthy lumberman, the physicians say he has a fighting chance for his life. The girl is slightly improved but is desparately wounded and her life is all but uespaired of. Batavia, N. Y„ Jan. 13 —(Special to to Daily Democrat i —Several persons were killed and over a score injured, some fatally- today in a wrek on the New York Central. The wrecked train, known as the Boston-Buffalo special, was standing on the track in front of the station, when passenger train No. 23. which was late, crashed into the rear of the special. The engine telescoped on© Pullman and crashed into a day coach ahead.

New Castle, Pa., Jan. 13—(Special to Daily Democrat) —In the first hour of ' Friday, the thirteenth," a quarrel between Thomas Pritchard and his wife resulted in the woman's shooting and killing her husband and then taking her own life. Pritchard’s brother heard the quarreling and later heard the shot. Bremen, Jan. 13 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Twelve persons were drowned today in the wreck of the German steamer Mariaruss, off Norden. The steamer was driven ashore by a gale. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 13 —The first real shake-down given the new state officers came as the clock was striking four on the afternoon of Wednesday. At that hour they were called into the governor’s chambers where the plans, methods of purchase and other interesting details for the new home for the Indiana Democratic club were unfolded. They have taken an option on a sixty-thousand-dollar home upon which they expect to spend ten thousand dollars in improvements. In order to pay for all this spot cash and begin paying dividends from the “yump" they will issue thirty-five thousand dollars in common and thirtyfive thousand dollars preferred stock, the preferred to pay three per cent in dividends to the holders thereof. All purchasers are compelled to divide their investment and take one-half in common and the other half in preferred. Os course to give the deal standing and to assure the enterprise that success for which it merits, it was necessary to have the state officers come down handsomely. The meeting was a success all right, but it lacked that interest and enthusiasm which were so marked when such meetings were held every week during the campaign, and when their election to office were the principal subjects under discussion. In fact It was a rather stiff gathering and there was a terrible lacking of ginger. The fires were out. The state officers will do their share all right, and it begins to look as if a club house and home for the Indiana democrats was almost In sight. These subscriptions are open to all democrats in the state, blocks of stock being issued in sums of twen-ty-five dollars and there Is no limit to th« oa«M. Play them up as high a« yea Uko.

■ hand and can be had by means of n postal card, tills is for the good n the cause, so thaw out and do th< handsome. We saw nne open-handed, charitable democrat sign one -of those Indiana Democratic club subscriptions, calling in amount for two thousand dollars, and then accompanied his signature with the request that his name be withheld from the public. All this time his hand never even trembled, and to all Intents and purposes he was In his right mind. He was a game old sucker all right, and Baid he believed that with proper management it would prove a good investment. The best part of the investment in our mind will come in the increase of valuation of the real estate, which in ten years may be worth right around the one hundred thousand dollar mark. Senator Fleming has given the public an insight into the sort of temperance laws the Indiana Brewers' association would consider about right. The bill has been given the press and in many Instances the association has Rev. Shumaker of the Anti-Saloon League beaten In their restriction of the liberties of those engaged in the retail business of selling intoxicating liquors in less quantities than a quart at a time, aad permitting the same to be drank on the premises where sold. The only difference between them and the Anti-Saloon League Is that the saloon would entirely obliterate the saloon while they would regulate it. After this proposed bill has been digested by the public and its weak and strong points measured, then the local option season will open. Arrangements for the stokes Jackson special are going merrily on. Responses accompanied with the price of one-way transportation are coming in on every mail, and there Is no question of the success of the undertaking. It has reached the point where even a special train is among the possibilities, and if the number is sufficient a special train it will be. The funds of five Adams county democrats are now n the pot, and there is room for more. The story that Hon. T. Taggart intends to pay the Washington end of the expense is without foundation.

Jesse O. Sellemeyer is here attending the lumbermen's convention. L. G. E. CHECKS FOR DISABILITY. W. B. Johnson, local agent for the Hoosier Casualty company, today handed to Henry Schwartz, a check for twelve dollars from the company for about a week’s time lost by Mr. Schwartz during disability occasioned by cutting one of his fingers while at work. Mr. Schwartz is a harness maker for the Schafer Saddlery company. Another beneficiary will be Charles VVerling of Preble, who is disabled by falling off a porch at his home and sustaining a dislocation of the shoulder, and who carried accident insurance in this company. — — Word from Phoeniz, Arizona, is to the effect that ex-Deputy Sheriff Albert Presdorf is in a very bad condition and has now become so weakened by the growing ravages of the white plague that he is unable to walk. His brother, Noah Presdorf, of Woodburn, has gone to Phoenix, and it is thought will bring him back to the home of his parents at Craigville. The ill young man went west early last spring, hoping to get relief from tuberculosis, which fastened its awful grip upon him. He went west to enter the Modern Woodmen tuberculosis camp in Colorado, but on arrival there found that camp so crowded that there was not room for another one and he went on to California, where he had relatives and then to Phoenix, Ariz., where a brother lives. The stay in the west has not brought the desired improvement and his condition has become very serious indeed from reports received by relatives here.

The union delivery system which has been under way for several days, with August Schlickman and his partner, William Workinger, at the head of the movement, has been made a go, and from the first day of February this city will have a delivery system that is not to be found in every city. Several attempts have previously been made tp organize such a system, but have never- been carried out. Mr. Schlickman was busy Thursday getting the nine business firms to sign the necessary papers, and now everything is in readiness for the date set. Four wagons and sets of harness have been ordered and the contract w r as awarded to Schaub & Gottemoller, who will see that the vehicles are in the city on time to go ahead with the business. The wagons will be like those in most cities where a union delivery system is in vogue, the drivers being on the rear end of the wagon. An effort will be made later to secure the meek nwket men to Join

in the system, and should this bo accomplished the city will enjoy many conveniences in this way. Four deliveries will be made each day—at 7:30 and 10 a. m., and 2 and 4:30 p. m. On Saturday an extra run will be made at 8 p ,m. With this time of delivery any articles purchased previous to the time mentioned will be delivered in good time. Those who have signed this contract are: Niblick & Co., the Boston Store, Fullenkamps, True & Runyon, F. V. Mills, Everett & Hite, Sam Hite, Hower & Hower and Yoder &> Brusbwiller. —— — — o— — • Sued for divorce and charged with wife desertion in complaints filed the same day is the experience of one Oliver P.

Mrs. Rayl says in her complaint that they were married in this city December 10, 1808, and lived together until August 27th last, when her husband deserted her. She says Oliver beat and cursed her, drove her from the house and on the date mentioned threatened to kill her and throw her body in an old cistern. He then left her and has not lived with her since.

The will was written December, 7, 1900. The county council held a special session today, appropriating such money as necesary to clean up the business of 1910. All were present, Wilfred S. Smith was appointed, by the court as the receiver for the Monroe Creamery association, and filed bond for $2500. The appointment was the result of the suit filed by Charles H. a few days ago. German Building Loan Fund & Saving Association vs M. J. Butler et al, answer and cross complaint filed by Albert Butler.. Answer filed by Holthouse Drug, company. Frank D. Shults vs Laura Van Camp, extrx., claim allowed by agreement tn open court for $225 and costs. Same ordered paid out of assetts of estate in due course of administration. The Lon Ball family is rejoicing much over the great improvement of their daughter, Pansy, who the first of the week "was in a serious condition, suffering from gall stones. An operation was thought imperative, and the father, Lon Bail, who was in Moline, 111., where he had accompanied their household goods, was summoned to the family here. A _new kind of medicine, however, was found for the patient, and seventyfive gall stones, ranging in size from hickory nuts and hazel nuts down to a shot, were removed without a surgical operation, as feared. Her improvement is very rapid and it is thought that her recovery will be complete in a very short time. Mr. Ball and daughter, Marie, and son, Clelland, will probably leave Saturday for their new home, but Mrs. Ball and Pansy will remain until the latter is stronger. It is thought that she will be able to stand the trip by next week.

The Huntington News-Democrat of Thursday evening contained an account of the belated tidings reaching that city ot the death of an unknown farmer, who was killed at Tocsin last Sunday by being run over by an Erie train, while riding along in a buggy, and that his head was severed from hih body and picked up some distance away in a field. It said further that the remains were brought to this city and prepared for burial. No such story can be run down here, and a call to the telephone operator at Tocsin failed to substantiate the story there. The only tragedy of the kind that has startled the little burg lately was the death of Walter Sheimer, which occurred New Year's day. in a way similar to that ascribed the unknown man. Report of this was given in full at that time. o STOPS PURCHASE OF ENGINE. City of Bluffton Stopped From Going Beyond Two Per Cent Limit. Bluffton, Ind.. Jan. 13 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Charles M. Miller, through his attorneys Simmons & Dailey and R. W. Stine, today filed suit against the city of Bluffton to prevent them from purchasing a new engine and generator, which was ordered two weeks ago to. cost about SIO,OOO. If the suit is successful it means that the plant here will be badly erippled as the plant is in a serious condition now. Miller alleges that this debt would put the city beyond the two per cent limit and would not be legally collectible. WAS NOT RELATED. Through misinformation the statement was made Thursday in the article regarding the suicide of Frank Spahr of Fort Wayne that he was a brother of John Spahr of this city. The Decatur man stated this morning that he was in no way related to the Frank Spahr mentioned, and we gladly make the correction. It is said that there is Rome difference in the spelling of the names, one spelling ft “Sparh," and the other “Spahr.”
