The heavy snow that fell during the night from early last evening, wrapping the earth in a heavy winding sheet is interfering somewhat with traffic, the interurban being among the sufferers therefrom. It is said that the snowfall was even heavier in Fort Wayne than it was here, and the car in charge of Griesinger and Scheumann, due last last night from Fort Wayne at 12:45, got stuck in the tenacious “beautiful” at For Wayne, between the Pennsylvania railroad and Taylor street and was held like a fly caught in the toils o a spider until today. This morning a. 4»i>-clock a car manned by W. «• Fledderjohann, Ruhl, ® peter, Burns and others, left for Fort Wayne to try to K«t the car

out of its predicament, but their car also got, stuck between the city limits and Pohttaa strert at Fort WaynA It Is said that not a street car in Fort W ayne was running this morning on account of the snow. A car then left this city this morning at 6:30, manned by Hunsicker and Smith, and they made the trip all right, returning here again at 8 o’clock and completing the runs with little difficulty. The snow scraper wes busy here clearing the snow from the interurban between the station and the Heckman mill. It is said that when once started there is little difficulty in pushing ahead. About twenty-five people who went to Fort Wayne yesterday and expected to return on the last car, were held over in that city all night. o ELZEL A CARROLL DISSOLVE. Forest Elzey Buys Interest of Partner in Barber Shop. By a deal which was brought to a close this morning, the firm of Elzey & Carroll, which has conducted a barber shop on Monroe street for a number of years, dissolves partnership, Forest Elzey taking over the half interest of his partner, and is now holding the entire ownership. The deal has been on for several days, but not until this morning was the deal closed and the change made. Since the forming of the partnership several years ago they have enjoyed a patronage second to none in the city and have always treated their patrons with much courtesy. Although Mr. Carroll retires as a partner, he will remain in the employ of Mr. Elzey, and things will go along just the same as before, and they ask a continuance of the patronage that has been accorded them. 0 Mrs. C. J. Weaver received a telegram this morning stating that Mrs. Willard Oliver of Huntington, formerly of this city, had passed away Sunday from hemorrhage of the lungs. The Oliver family until about ten years ago were residents of this city, Mr. Oilver being employed as blacksmith for the Tyrill shop. During their residence here the family gained many friends, the friendship being renewed in their visits here since the time of their removal to Huntington. a daughter, Miss Beatrice, visiting here only last summer. Mrs. Oliver had been in failing health several years, and about six weeks ago suffered a hemorrhage of the lungs, the one following yesterday proving fatal. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the Christian church of which the family were members, the Rev. Cole officiating. Mrs. C. J. Weaver and Mrs. Jacob Miller will leave Tuesday morning to be in attendance at the funeral. During their residence here the family was identified with the local Christian church and will be well remembered for their earnest endeavors and active work herer o Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The Proctor strict regulation high license bill is expected to be in the hands of the governor by the close of this week. The bill was due for third reading and passage in the senate today. It will immediately be sent to the house where it is not expected to encounter as much opposition as in the senate. The Proctor bill has been by far the most interesting measure thus far before the legislature. Both republicans and. democrats took a hand in the amendment of the bill and one of its most important provisions—the license fee —was the amendment of Senator Higgins, a republican. When the bill has finally passed it cannot be said that it is any one's measure because of the interest all the members have taken in it. It is generally understood that when the regulation bill reaches the house the license fee will be lowered. The senate amendment provided that the fee should be S7OO for all cities and 1500 for all towns. Several representatives believe that this is unjust and instead of taking this question out of politics would force the liquor Interest to take a more active part than ever in elections. It is also pointed out that the purpose of the bill is to regulate the saloon busines instead of to raise revenue. One prominent senator predicted that the house would cut the fee to about $450 and that as a compromise between the senate and house a fee of about $550 for cities would be agreed upon. i Although the bill was expected to pass the senate with little discussion some trouble is looked for between the senators and lobbyists for the Anti-Saloon League who have made themselves obnoxious. Frequently during the discussion of the bill these lobbyists went up and down the aisles attempting to dictate the votes of the senators. “It is the boldest, Jobby I have ever seen,” said a senator. “We are honestly trying to settle this question for good, but these agitators do not want is settled in any manner. Whenever this question is settled they will lose

their jobs and that is why they ar« so busy. One of the lobbyists went so far during the discussion Friday as to call a senator a liar. It is believed this Is the first time such a thing has occurred on the floor of the senate. Senator Proctor on last Saturday introduced a bill designed to amend the option bill which was signed by the governor Friday. The bill will be put through both houses in the regular manner. The session held by the senate Saturday was anything but formal. It was apparent that the senators were anxious to get home for Sunday and business was rushed through at topspeed One hundred and fourteen bills were placed on second reading and no amendments were offered. This was probably due to the fast that everyone was looking for an early adjournment and are holding their amendments in reserve until the bills come up for third reading. Several new bills, which are of little importance were introduced, a number of committee reports were read. The session adjourned at noon until 2 o’clock this afternoon. o OWNED MARE ENTIRE LIFE. Died Friday From Old Age—Other Monmouth Fatalities. Gyp, a bay mare thirty-two years old, which was reared from “colt-in-fancy,” by Martin Lord of Monmouth, and which was known to every inhabitant in Root township, is dead from old age. The mother of the mare also belonged to Mr. Lord for many years and the colt, Gyp, was born wihle he owned her, he rearing it and keeping it during all its thirty-two years of life. t> Sport, a dog belonging to the Harvey Clark family near Monmouth, met its Waterloo Friday when it was run over by an interurban car. The revival at the Methodist church which has been in charge of the Rev. Church for several weeks, with good results, closed Sunday evening. The Rev. Imler, pastor of the United Brethren enuren, was among the speakers in the Anti-Saloon League’s field day exercises at Fort Wayne Sunday, speaking at the Christ’s Lutheran church in the morning. The Rev. Spetnagel, former pastor of the Presbyterian church here, but now of South Bend, where he has the superintendency of the South Bend Anti-Sa-loon League district, spoke at the Trinity M. E. church, Fort Wayne, in the morning. The revival services are still continuing at the United Brethren church by the Rev. Imler. Sunday evening three more young ladies signified their desire to enter into the Christian church and much encouragement in the success of the revival is resulting. Everybody is given a cordial invitation to attend. o • At 4 o'clock this afternoon the commissioners fixed the local option election for February 28th. At 3 o’clock this afternoon no action had been taken on the petition for a local option election under the new Proctor law. It was generally conceded, however, that the matter would be disposed of before the meeting adjourned today. The petition as filed is in due form, and about all there is to do is to fix the date, which will probably be about March Ist. Commissioner Zwick, who has been quite sick for a week or ten days, was unable to be present at the meeting today. The board of county commissioners convened in the regular February session and the first matter taken up was the petition of Salmota Crouch et al. for a highway. A motion to dismiss was filed and concurred in by a number of interested parties. W. D. Cross filed a” petition to refund taxes and same being found as represented, was granted by the board. The remonstrance for Wabash township, which will prevent any saloons in that community, was filed in due form, under date of January 31st, and was duly recognized by the board. The county "treasurer filed his report for January. Superintendent Graber of the county farm also reported, as did C. E. Magley, overseer of the poor of Root township, all of which were approved. Petitions to refund taxes were filed by David Zimmerman, George Pyle, Cement Roof and Block Co., Margaret Meyers, Mary E. Hanna, C. E. McDonald. The board fixed March 7th as the day on which these matters will be taken up and adjusted. The parties or a representative must be present at that time or their petition will be dismissed. $ A xommunlcaion from the Allen county commissioners was read, asking for a name plate to be placed on the county line bridge. The shatter

was referred to the auditor, who was instructed to invvstlgnpj the cost. LUTHERAN CONFERENCE Held at Fort Wayne Today—Rev. Wehmeyer Attends. Rev. Wehmeyer, pastor of the Zion’s Lutheran church, left this morning for Fort Wayne, where he was in attendance at the monthly mintste ial conference of the Lutheran ministers of Adams and Allen counties, which was held at the St. Paul’s Lutheran school house from 9:30 o'clock ibis morning until 3:30 this afternoon. The meeting was one of much Importance and a large number of the ministers are always present to take part. -—O'"'- — 1 MRS. O. L. VANCE BETTER, Mrs. Fred Sellemeyer and O. L. Vance went to Fort Wayne Sunday morning to pay a visit to Mrs. Vance, wife of the latter, who is a patient at the St. Joseph’s hospital, she having undergone an operation there some time ago. Mrs. Sellemeyer returned home and reports Mrs. Vance doing nicely and improving each day, although still suffering much pain. Mr. Vance remained over until today, and feels much encouraged over her present condition, and it is now thought that she will get along all right. - —o D. M. Hensley today received a letter from his brother, Dr. G. B. Hensley, of Bellaire, Ohio, who visited here some time ago, telling of minor injuries received by him in a wreck. Dr. Hensley is surgeon for the B. & O. railroad, and was going out to attend a man who had been injured in a wreck. On the way out the train on which Dr. Hensley rode was in a smashup, and he himself was hurt, though not seriously. Two fingers were broken, ribs injured, and his head and face badly cut up. and bruised. Mrs. John Steele went to Fort Wayne this morning to call on her daughter, Mrs. Wilson Steele. Mrs. Steele is not in the best of health herself, and added to this is the serious illness of her little six-months’ old son, Ima Dale. The babe has been sick with pneumonia and bronchial trouble and had been better, but word was received Wednesday that it was not so well again. The condition of Mrs. Charles Niblick is still improving each day and those attending here are feeling much encouraged with the progress which she is making. Although still weak she is gaining as rapidly as could be expected, but will require some time before she will be able to be about. Miss Cora Roop, who was called home from her work at Fort Wayne to Willshire, Ohio, by the illness of her parents, transferred here this morning on her way to Fort Wayne, where she will complete arrangements for resigning her work there and return home to care for her parents. Her father, J. L. Roop, is quite sick from a nervous breakdown. — — GAME CANCELLED. The basket ball game scheduled to be played between the high schol of this city and the Fort Wayne team on Friday evening has owing to some interference been cancelled and will not be pulle doff. The locals were preparing for a battle royal and are disappointed that the game has been cancelled. ■ 1 o - IN THE POLICE COURTS. This morning a license was issued to Walter Cray, a broom maker of Van Wert to sell his wares on the streets today. The trial of Louie Doolittle the Clover Leaf conductor, whose trial was slated for 'Squire Stone’s court at 9 o'clock Friday morning, was held Friday evening, when the defendant appeared, being delayed by causes which he could not control.

That the Decatur postoffice employees will be given an unbroken day of rest on Sundays, with postoffice employees in many other cities where this measure has been taken, seemed to be an assured thing from the very first this morning. The 1,250 postcards which were printed Friday and were taken out this morning by the city carriers asking for the signatures of the patrons to the petition that the postoffice be closed on Sundays, were with scarcely an exception signed by everyone asked. It seems an assured thing that the signatures of the majority of the patrons will be easily secured and if this is done, the consent of the postmaster general will be freely given, and employees of the Decatur postoffice will thus be given the day of rest, as are other citizens. ATTEND MILLINERY OPENING. The Misses Anna Boese and Marie Heckman of the Boese millinery store will leave Monday for Dayton, Ohio, where they will attend the millinery opening at the wholesale house.
